perienced telegrapher before, but
Johnny Greene was what proved more
to his disadvantages little bit fresh
and moreover entirely ignorant of the
ways of the west.
Better keep an eye on that young
man, Luke Davitt," said Will Kerner
an an undertone to me when the fresh
man went off duty the first evening.
"He is full of the choker of eastern
bluff, and it may cause an explosion if
he gets western match"
Johnny got through the next morn
ing with no worse mishap than expos
ing his inferior ability as an operator.
In the afternoon he received "broken
message" from mountain station. The
disJointed sentences and long stops
reused his ire. He took the mountain
man to be nexperienced-wha tele-
graph operators call "a plug"-and.
growing impatient, sent over the wire
string of eXpletlve abuse. This was
received very quietly, and Johnny,
growing elated, gave good deal more.
Ilnally the mountain operator sent
back terse please sign"
This the young man from the east
did boldly, giving also the address of
the firm. More conversation followed.
Meanwhile the freshman was wiring
to bigger audience than he knew-all
friends of the mountain operator. In
about twenty stations up the line the
lever was clicking, the clerks attracted
by the length and character o + the mes
sage, were transcribing for their own
amusement
Johnny wired his name and address,
and then grew sarcastic. The mount
ain operator said little, but finally sent
word he would he in San Francisco

his tone at this He replied facetious-
ly: Come onl Whipped many a bet

This happened one afternoon. The
next, as the men were going off duty,

extent to which the greenhorn had
compromised himself.

The story.

The winter mist passed through thevale
And hid the mountains, blue and pale.
1t wrcathed the hedge with quaint designs
Flung graceful pennons from the pines,
And wrapped the river in a shroud
Until 1t seemed flowing cloud,
Then passing on to regions dim,
sad tears from every branch and limb
Like richest jewels pendent hung
Then suddenly shaft WAS flung;
A ray Of sunlight pierced the gray
Low clouds and kissed the tears away,
And made the mist ad mountains seem
Tho fairest cas- ties OF youths dream.
Gloom fled as shone the light above
Thought spoke OF sorrow won by love.

Far DER the plains the setting sun
Sinks in food of liquid light;
The creeping shadows dark and dun
Speak the d!urnal journey run,
And herald the approaching night
The slanting sunbeams glance and CLEAN
On many broad and winding stream,
Whose slowly winding waters seem
Full loath to lose a ray
The smiling groves, the fruitful trees,
Deserted by the wandering breeze,
Fade dimly on the eye that sees
The genty.dying day.
The mountains bare their storm-beat br a.
In gladnoss to the golden west,
And every shining height
Ambitious rears its joyful peak
To catch the last faint golden streak
or slowly-waning light
So dies the day, and, as 1t dies,
Fair Luna mounts the eastern skies,
Calm, cold, majestic, as to say:
why mourn the slow-departing dayI
Let grief for fair Auroras fight
Be lost in rapture for the ght"

Sugar Trust Stock Again Goes Up
to Par.
VIEW OF THE SENATE INVESTIGATOR
Bull Element in the Street Re-
gaining Courage
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. May 22-Today's market
opened fractionally above closing figures
and gained considerable strength during the
morning on liberal purchases for both ac-
counts. London was dull and unsettled and
attracted little attention in the local trad
ing. The bull element is slowly regaining
lost courage and will soon be sufficiently
strong to force the fighting. The tariff stu
alton is in very satisfactory condition.
Notwithstanding surface indications 10 the
contrary, and the class of securities directly
affected by the proposed legislation are soon
expected to reflect their approval In higher
market values.
The Senate investigation has run its
course as a speculative factor, and is no
longer considered seriously. The street in
clines to the opinion that the published re-
ports of the various causes leading up to
this action on the part of the Senate have
been Used by inside IL terests to force out
a lalge following of small traders, whose
companionship had become undesirable
This view is supported by today's action of
sugar, the real object of the recent attacks
OperiLg at SO 1-2. the price was forced up
to par on buying by brokers instrumental
in producing the last rise, and who usually
act for well-informed principals. The
stock was active throughout the day, and
found ready purchasers for all offerings.
Chicago Gas, on which bull tips have been
abundant for the past week, gained / SIS
per cent on good buying. The quo war
ranto proceedings are to be pushed to a
bearing and the company's attorneys are
confident OF decision in their favor.
National Lead gained 7-S per cent and is
being bought by inside interests on all con-
cessions.
General Electric lost j is per cent on
short sales, and yields easily to every at
tack.
In the railroad list prices were better, and
the feeling more hopeful. The scant supply
of floating stock and the large short in
terest have done more to foster the belief
in higher prices than any real beneficial
change in conditions. Earnings are bad
and likely to continue to be for some time
, to come. Holders OF long stock are not
willing to sell at present prices, and have
taken their stock out of The market until
conditions improve. This naturally re-
stricts the limitations OF the bears. and
prevents any protracted decline.
The market for foreign exchange con-
tinues strong, and gold is being taken for
shipment on every outgoing steamer. The
continued low rate for money and the large
an cunt OF idle funds are responsible for
the movement which is likely to continue
until rates stiffen. The general desire 10
negotiate longtime loans is an indication
that a brisk demand for money is antici-
pated by borrowers.
Realizing sales at the beginning of the
las hour brought on a reaction ranging
from Ia to 2 per cent The railroads were
least effected, nearly ell showing fractional
gains for the day.
