though did not intend to ascend it myself
But Algernon took no particular notice OF
her. She spent most OF her time upstairs
with n headache. and only came down in the
evenings to play to US. She had pretty eyes,
but that was all.
On that particular Sunday morning Alger-
non went on a bicycle ride as usual, Miss
Wakelyn to her room with headache. and a
cargo of peaches and l to the high garden

her massive profile, which her son. unluckily,
had inherited. She sat there idly gazing
straight before her. Poor womanl She was
wondering if was wondering where Alger-
non was. Not 1. I had most amusing

Where is Algernon?' she asked at last,
fretfully.

tinctly saw two figures walking slowly by the
brink of the toy lake. One was very like
Algernon, the other no, Miss Wakelyn was
lying down.
"Algernon is profoundly cynical. don't you
think. Aloysias2" murmured his mother
presently. His views, il you once get at

it seriously, but now felt that Algernon had

''Oh, do you think so, dear Mrs. Bulkeley?"

nice people there, and l occasionally do a lit
tie flirting on my own account, Algernon
looking tamely on. His father is devoted to
me, and his mother loves me like the daugh-
ter-in-law | never shall be-
Algernon is young man of heavy. dough-
like consistency, with the air Of a gentleman.
He has bad figure, but he is faultle isly
dressed. He has settled opinions on politics,
the wheat crop, and the poor laws. He does
everything decently and in order, and never
mixes his wines. l respect him, but as for
loving him
No girl could, think-no offense to Alger-
non. His mother loves him so jealousy and
keeps such strict watch on his tardy affec-
tions and pulls them up by the roots so often
that it is no wonder that the age of twenty

does she allow a free hand, but should he
tend by so much as the flicker of an eyelid to
any other woman she notes it and makes his
like burden to him.
Algernon naturally prefers quiet life, and
is careful to give her no cause for umbrage
as regards other girls, but he distinctly dis
charges her plans for me by carefully
studied system of neglect in public The cold
shoulder which Algernon heaves at me at
breakfast, lunch. and dinner is quite unmis-
taxable. His programme never alters. On
Saturday night be hardly addresses a sylla-

ride, and comes home to supper hungry and

sleepy. On Monday morning he breaks
through the ice OF his reserve-the end is so
near-and takes me a solemn walk around
the garden. Then he talks twenty to the
Dozen and all about himself
Oddly enough. this adamantine young gen.
tleman has heart of the softest, and it has
been touched several times, as happen to
know. Once in Australia-where he was sent
to open his mind-and once in Hongkong
where there is a girl he writes to. Then there
is an American girl in Buffalo who has sent
him her photograph once year ever since
she left England. These are safe distances.
Then, in town-Algernon goes up now and
then, but l never forget the row there was
when he wanted TO take rooms there,-Alger-
non had good time He is like Tony Lump

and his social successes have been chiefly

NEW YORK, June 6-Sugar monopolized the

day, more than half the business having been
done In the shares Of the sugar trust 1t was a
very exciting day for the operators In this mer-
curial property, the fluctuations in which were
both wide and frequent The buying was at

heavy. Jump Of III was made at the opening,
and further advance Of u; then on brisk SELL
ing reaction OF VI took place, but buying orders
were met which absorbed all the offerings, and
another rise was entered upon which sent the
stock up per cent to 108,4
This purchasing movement was based on the
result of the voting on the amendment offered
to the sugar schedule In the Senate, which
showed that the anticipated programme was to
be carried out. But when the top figure was
reached a god deal OF stock came out, which
checked the purchasing movement, inasmuch
as It led to belief that some interest was mar
keting the stock the bull news, and that 1t
was likely that an insider was feeding the shares
to the traders. This suspicion induced realizing
sales az well "a stopping the buying, and sharp
break of 2Is took place To lO4a4. The lower range

NO DANGER OF STATE BANKS
Brawley Bill TO be Defeated To-day
by a Large Majority.
ITS ADVOCATES ADMIT FAILURE
Michael D. Harter Makes an Interesting
Speech on the Measure-Long List Of
Speakers of Both Parties Make Running
Criticisms OF the Fill.

There will be vote on the Brawiey bill for
the repeal OF the tax ON state bank issues to-
day.
The advocates of state banks concede their
defeat. At the outset of the debate the state
bank men counted on 40 votes. Their ranks
are thinned by absence and pairs, however,
and they now admit that the majority against
the state banks will be very large.
That was determined by resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Catchings yesterday, and agreed
to after protests from Mr.. Reed, that ii seemed
remarkable that majority of one hundred
could not control the business of the House.
In the morning Mr.. Cox then offered his
amendment for the unconditional repeal and
the general debate was continued by Messrs.
Bowers of California. Boatner of Louisiana.
Pendleton of Texas, Enloe of Tennessee. Liv
ingston of Georgia. Talbert Of South Carolina,
Cooper of Florida, Cannon Of Illinois, Grow
and Adams OF Pennsylvania. Lacey OF Iowa,
Qugg and Ray OF New York. Bryan OF Ne
braska, and late- by Michael d. Harter of
Ohio. when tn. general debate on the bill be-
gan. Mr.. Dingley. of Maine. controlling the
floor for the opponents OF the bill. and yield
ing fifteen minutes to Mr.. Lacey, of Iowa.
Mr.. Harter delivered an earnest and hu-
morous speech in favor of the state bank sys-
TEN.
What the country wanted was not a larger
volume OF currency. but a currency with
more fiexiDility. He reviewed the history of
the Louisiana State bank. which in spite of
the war paid its notes in gold and presented
an ideal system. and would make an ideal
financial system for the country And the
Indiana State bank Was another example of
the strength of the system. The notes of
this bank were paid in specie and passed cur
rent in Europe where the legal tender OF the
government was repudiated. II was a case
of the survival OF the littest. and the claim of
the opponents OF the bill that the banks could
circulate bad money when good money could
be had was puerile.
He asserted that Secretary Chases efforts
had foisted the national banking system upon
the country. and in spite of the fact that at the
time the South Was eliminated from rfpre-
sentation and in spite of the fact that it had
the support Of Abraham Lincoln. he finally
succeeded in getting it through the Senate by
a majority of only and through the House by
the slim majority of IA. This system was mod
eled after The state bank system. but unfortu-
natey they did not select the best state banks.
At the expiration of Mr.. Harters time an
arrangement was adopted extending the time
for debate half IN hour on each side.
Canada. Mr.. Hurter said had so-cailed
wildcat system of banking. and their bank
notes circulated in every province and city in
the Dominion, and if there was n railroad to
the moon they would pass current there.
Shortly after Mr.. Harter closed. Gen.
Wheeler. of Alabama, addressed the House,
which soon after adjourned.
