CLOSING PRICES OF PHILADELPHIA STOCKS
WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

Tuesday, Aug S-p. IL.
The stock market fcverishy irregular
throughout the day. The business was small,
however. and few stocks monopoizcd attention.
In these the fluctuations were at times almost
violent At the opening prices were somewhat
lower, but the supply of floating stock was not
increased. although loaning rates were again dis
tinctly easier. The market rallied about noon, ami

message came. and after slight hesitation. prices
began TO sink, and the closing WIS weak at

3 per cent before Congress had assembled anu
its subsequent fall was hardly due TO recon-
mendatiOns about silver and tariff legislation.
Although this stock closed per cent above its
bottom point, its final loss was something over
4 per cent The movements In Sugar Rehnlng,
Chicago Gas, and stocks of that character, were
similar. and in specialtes that are not usually
active they were not unlike, but Louisville and
Nashville lost nearly as mach as Chicago Gas, and
Chicago and Northwest more than Sugar Re
fning. The Granger shares group were

per cent, while Western Union seemed to be
quietly pressed for sale. The most active stocks
in order We're American Sugar Refining, Chicago
Gas, General Electric and ST. Paul. In no other
did the transactions reach 10000 shares. En-
ceptions 70 the common decline were furnished by
Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific, which re-
corded small advances 1t was explained with
sufficient expcitness and force that neither con-
pany stood in danger of recsivership, and at the
meeting of the Union Pacific directors plan Tor

I'm go and ask for the key" said I
and stepped on deck.
The fog was as close as ever, but the
swell almost down. They had laid the
brig to, not knowing precisely where
they We're, and the wind, what little
there was of it, not serving well for
their true course. Some of the hands
were still hardening for breakers, but
the captain and the two officers were in
the waist with their heads together. It
struck me, don't know why, that they
were after no good, and the first word I
heard as drew softly near more than
confirmed me.
1t was Mr.. Riach, crying out as if
upon a sudden thought:
Couldn't we vile him out of the
roundhouse?"
"He's better where he isl returned
Hoseason; she hasn't room to use his
sword"
"Well, that's true" said Riach; "but
he's hard to come at"
"Hutw said Hoseason. 1--WE can get
the man in talk, one upon each side, and
pin him by the two arms; OF if that1l
not hold, sir, we can make run by
both the doors and get him under hand
before he has the time to draw"
At this hearing was seized with both
fear and anger at these treacherous,
greedy, bloody men that l sailed with
My first mind was to run away; my
second was holder.
Captain" said /, "the gentleman is
seeking q dram and the bottles out
Will you give me the keyy"
They all started and turned about.
"Why, here's our chance to get the
frearmsr' Riach cried; and then to me,
"Hark ye, David" he said, "do ye ken
where the pistols are?"
AYE, aye" put in Hoseason. David
kens. David's a good lad. Ye see,
David, my man, yon wild Hielandman
is q danger to the ship, besides being a
rank foe to King George. God bless
him!'
had never been so be-Davided since l
came on board, but I said yes, as if all !
heard were quite natural.
"The trouble is, resumed the captain,
"that all our Acknowledgment and little
are in the roundhouse under this mans
nose; likewise the powder. Now if or
one of the officers was to go in and take
them he would fall to thinking. But q
lad like you, David, might snap up a
horn and a pistol or two without re-
mark. And if we can do it cleverly I'll
bear it in mind when it'll be good for
you to have friends, and that's when we
come to Carolina"
Here Mr.. Riach whispered him little.
VERY right, sir" said the captain,
and then to myself, "And see here,
David, yon man mas beltful of gold,
and / give you my word that you shall
have your fingers in it."

CHAPTER TX.
THE MAN WITH THE BELT OF COLI

THE MAN WITH THE BELT OF GOLD.
More than week went by, in which
the i'll luck that had hitherto pursued
the Covenant upon this voyage grew yet
more strongly marked. Some days she
made little way; others she was driven
actually back. AT last we were beaten
so far to the south that we tossed and
tackled to and fro the whole of the ninth
day within sight of Cape Wrath and the
wild, rocky coast on either hand of it,
There followed on that Council of the
officers, and some decision which did
not rightly understand, seeing only the
resultant we had made fair wind of
q foul one and were running south.
The tenth afternoon there was fall
ing swell and thick, white, wet fog
that hid one end of the brig from the
other. All afternoon, when went on
deck, l saw men and officers listening
hard over the bulwarks-''for breakers"
they said, and though did not so much
as understand the word, / felt danger in
the air and was excited.
Maybe about ten at night was serv-
ing Mr.. Riach and the captain at their
supper, when the ship struck something
with a great sound and we heard voices
singing out. My two masters leaped to
their feet. #r
"She's struck" said Mr.. Riach. "
"No, sir" said the captain. We've
only run boat down"
And they hurried out.
The captain was in tho right of it..
We had run down q boat in the fog, and
she had parted in the midst and gone to
the bottona with all her crew but one.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1893-01-20

"OHo!" says INC stranger rs MdC hOD
the 1Cjnd 8otS?'
This man (as l heard afterward) had
been sitting in the stern as % passenger,
while the rest were on the benches row.
ing At the moment of the blow the
stern had been thrown into Ike air. and
the man (having his hands free, and for
all he was encountered with II frieze
overcoat that came below his knees had
leaped up and caught hold Of the briggs
bowsprit. It showed he had luck and
much agility and unusual strength that
he should have thus saved himself from
such pass. And yet, when the captain
brought him into the roundhouse and
/ set eyes on him for the first time, he
looked as cool as did.
He was smallish in stature, but we'll
set and as nimble as goat. His face
was of good open expression, but sun
burned very dark, and heavily freckled
and pitted with the smallpox; his eyes
were unusually light and had kind of
dancing madness in them that was both
engaging and alarming, aud when he
took off his great coat he laid pair of
fine, silver mounted pistols on the table,
and l saw that he was belted with q
great sword. His manners besides were
elegant, and he pledged the captain
handsomely. Altogether I thought Of
him at the first sight, that here was a
man l would rather call my friend than
my enemy.
The captain, too, was taking his OBJ
servations, but rather of the mans
clothes than his person. And to be sure,
as soon as ne had taken off the great
coat, he showed forth mighty fine for
the roundhouse of merchant brig,
having hat with feathers, a red waist
coat, breeches of black plush and blue
coat with silver buttons and handsome
silver lace; costly clothes, though some
what spoiled with the fog and being
slept in. ..s ~
"rm vexed, sir, about the boat" says
the captain. ~
"There are some pretty men gone TO
the bottom" said the stranger, that I
would rather see on the dry land again
than half score of boats"
Friends of yourst" said Hoseason.
"You have none such friends in your
country" was the reply. "They would
have died for me like dogs"
swell, SIR said the captain, still
watching him, "therc are more men III
the world than boats to put them in"
"And that's true, too" cried the othefJ
land we seem to be gentleman of greet
penetration"
II have been in France, SIR" says the
captain, so that it was plain ne meant
more by the words than showed upon
the face of them.
"Well, sir" says the other, land SO
has many II pretty man, for the matter
of that"
"No doubt, sir says the captain,
land fine coats"
"Ohor' says the stranger. "Is that
how the wind sets?' and he laid his hand
quickly on his pistols.
Don't be hasty," said the captain.
Don't do mischief before We see the
need for it. Ye've French soldiers

some dealers always. They want to
sell the medicine that pays them the
largest profit. What you want to
buy is the one that does you the
most good.
Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be matter
of doubt. But, in the case of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
there's no room for doubt. It's a
matter that can be proved.
With the facts before you, it's
an insult to your intelligence to
have something else offered as
"just as good"
And here's the proof Among
all the medicines that claim to cure
woman's peculiar weaknesses, irreg-
ularities, and diseases, the "Favor-
lite Prescription" is the only one
that's guaranteed. "
If it doesn't do all that's claimed
for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction
in every case, you'll have your
money back.
There's strength and vigor for
every tired and feeble woman,
health and new life for every
delicate and ailing woman - and if
there's no help, there's no pay.
