The experiences were those OF young girl
In this city. Her first name was Madge. Her
father has a summer cottage on the Jersey
coast. Last August James Stillwell a worthy
young man and friend of Madge's brother
came from his home and business at New
Orleans TO spend two weeks at the cottage. It
was the night before he was TO depart that he
and Madge strolled down on the beach after
supper. The large family In the cottage
grew annoyed, angry and sleepy in turns as
the hours struck and the two failed TO return.
Finally everybody went to bed.
Meantime Mr.. Stillwell had declared hia
passion for Medge in regulation terms. and
they sat blissfully together on a big log, the
waves tapping softly almost at their fect.
The damp fog rolling In from the sea finally
awoke them 20 the narrowing fact that 10 was

body was fast asleep, but Madge was equal
TO the occasion. Up and down the stairs she
tore, shrieking gleefully at the top OF her
lungs: Jim and are engaged Jim and

The big storm arose, and disaster came.
The log was swept away by the rolling waves.
Madge was inconsolable. Then a miracle in
tervened in behalf Of true love. The winds
and waters brought back the log, and Madge
found II on the beach. She promptly hired a
team OF oxen, and had the precious tree
hauled up far beyond all wandering tides and
dashing seas.
Then Jim came again. He had the log

New York. Feb, 3-The Industrial stocks
still lead the share market in point OF actlV-
ity and advance. Sugar was the real feat
ure, moving up from 7S15c TO SO5sc on dealings
of Al 300 shares. The stock was In brisk demand
throughout. IL appears that there has been
a material increase in the short interest OF
late, owing to belief that the placing of
sugar on the free list would cause break in
the price of the stock. Washington, as well as
local operators, sold heavily, but the ex-
pected break did not come. In fact, certain
operators, when they became aware of the
extent of the short interest, made up little
pool to squeeze the bears. The latter were
quite desperate to-day and resorted to unus-
ual methods to check the rise In the stock.
First, they reported the death of ex Governor
Ames OF Massachusetts, who is understood 10
be one of the largest owners of the company's
securities, and then they killed on Director
John ]. p. Spaulding Of Boston. OF course.
there was not the slightest truth In either OF
these stories. Outside Of the demonstration
against the shorts Sugar as well as Lead,
was strengthened by rumors that the
Senate will modify the Wilson bill ma terially,
so far as these products are concerned. when
the new tariff measures come up before IL.
Chicago Gas and Lead were strong, Chicago
Gas rising Il, Lead common n and Lead pre-
ferred ia. Whisky, while firm made no gain
for the day. General Electric lost n per
cent. The railway list was held in check
early in the day. St. Paul being rather weak,
