The Lowest Prices Known In tho His

Boston, April 2b-The american Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say Tomorrow:
The record OF the past week affords
little encouragement for those who have
been anticipating any improvement in
the price of wool. Whatever may be Tia g
level OF values elsewhere, wool has sold
during the past week in this market at
the lowest prices ever touched in the his
tory OF the country. + or fine woods 23G
Soc has covered the bulk OF transactions
The sales which open on tie 30ih of this
month IN London are awaited with un-
usual interest.
The volume of business in this mar
ket the past week compares 1avorably
with that OF the previous week. The in
quiry, such as it has been, has run rather
more largely, we should say, to fine
woods, though the low woods have con-
tinued in good request. which is par
ticulariy true OF pulled woods. The buyer
IS only lor actual needs anu as low as
wool is, we cannot detect the faiutest evil
dence of any speculative tendency. The
ma:ket for Australian wool is in the full
flush Of activity.
The sales for the week amount to
., 2,297, 800 pounds domestic and I,522. 600
foreign, making total OF ,. SI9, 800 against
a total of ), I41. 500 for the previous week
and total OF ?, 2,965,O0O pounds for the
corresponding week last year. The sales
since January l, 1895, amount 70 i9, 49, $50

got there, your uncle and l. was his
clerk at 10. Major Overton had let us
know what was in the wind. | remem-
ber now how he looked stepping into the
Office with that woman's letter in his
hand Though we set off at once, some
how he got ahead of us and had been
three hours on the trail of the elopers
before we got to their starting point
We pushed after at our best speed, but
that was mighty slow. Itwas February,
had been raining week, and all the
world was quagmire. Your Uncle AL
len was hunchback. Peyton threw him
in one of their boyish scufles and hurt
his spine, but he was fine man, fine
rider for all that We got ahead at
sort of snail's gallop, and ! remember
thinking that he looked as hurt and mis-
erable as did Major Overton.
Presently we began hearing of our
couple. Peyton had team that even
those roads could not stall, but in one
place the trap upset; in another a broken
strap delayed them. They were heading
for the railway station, so miles off as
the road ran, but less than 30 if once
you got across the river, up whose bank
we were riding. But crossing for a sane
man was out of the question. The
stream was bankful and running like a
mill race. Higher up the waters had run
out a trife; besides a considerable af-
fluent must be reckoned with half way.
''Yet we did not think even Peyton
would tempt fate in such fashion, even
though he knew who was hard on his
track We had ridden 90 miles or more
when we caught sight of the major and
heard him give next minute a wild,
strangling shout.
''The road ran straight and level for
amile in front of him. Half way track
ran down from it to ford, passable at
low water, and into this Peyton Faunt-
leroy was madly urging his tired horses.
He must have known the water was

the team would take him half way over,
and from there he could carry Margaret
safe to the other bank. 1t was just
bare chance, but l am sure he chose it
the risk, / mean-with full knowl-
edge, in preference to the certainty Of
losing her forever.
''He sent the horses so slowly down to
the water that we, all his pursuers, were
in hailing distance as they struck the
stream. We shouted to him to stop. We
had as well called to the wind. saw
what the slowing up meant. He wanted
the horses to be well breathed when they
lost their footing in the water. They
had long ago thrown out their little lug

fellow, with such flower face beside
him, drive down so quickly and carefully
into the raging torrent.

CHAPTER x.
Three days later Hawkins walked into
Mr.. Hildreths Office with much the air
of man going to have all his teeth
pulled. The older lawyer greeted him
cheerily enough, but to Hawkins ear
there was an under note of triumph. In
truth, Hawkins had in the last two days
suffered moral shock that had left him
prey to emotional neuralgia What he
misread as elation was really but sort
Of whistling to keep the courage up
Mr. Hildreth knew we'll whose bust
ness alone could bring Hawkins to his
Office and had got some hint Of the syn
dicate's overtures. So it was plain to his
mind that Major Overton's antagonists
meant to force the fighting, with what
result he had no manner of doubt. Well
as he loved legal battle, Mr.. Hildreth
had never been able to quite sink the
man in the lawyer. Next to Major Over
ton himself he would feel the sting of
the claims oversetting, which, as he
had all along felt, only miracle could
prevent
After a glum "good day" Hawkins
dropped heavily into chair, put his
elbow on the table and said, affectedly:
81 tell you, you don't know what may
happen. If anybody had said to me a
week ago things were going to turn out
thus and so, I'd "a told them to their
teeth they lied. l would-sure as sit
here"
Whats the matter? Syndicate busted
or gone back on you?" Mr.. Hildreth ask
ed, with sympathy that had the live
illness of relief. Hawkins snorted with
rage He was being Knocked as well as
despoiled.
"See here" he growled, '1et man
down easy, can't you? l couldn't feel
more cut up if the claim had been all
my own.
Mr.. Hildreth looked puzzled
"Is this one of your jokes?" he asked
"For the life of me can't tell what you
are driving at. s"
Don't you really know?"
t'What?"
'On your honor, now, haven't you
heard?'
about what?'
"Why, this Internal foolishness Of AL
len Fauntleroy's."
Whats the size Of it?'
"Oh, nothing muchl Only he gives up
the fight. Will let the case go by default
next time it comes up. Just now, too,
when the thing means a cool million in
hand and more to follow All lost for

was just coming in--"here are the story
books outdone, the miracle come to pass
and Major Overton millionaire il he
chooses to be-"
Vance looked sharply at Hawkins. He
did not trust the man. After he had
heard the story he turned to the news
bearer, saying:
For such an effect there must be a
cause. Can you enighten us as to that?'
Hawkins shifted his feet uneasily and
answered, with dropped eyes: "Oh, he
saw the old major and heard--well,
some things that have happened So the
notion takes him to play Don Quixote,
not fight any longer with an old man
and a---a--child. "
"H-m-m," Vance said, setting his
lips close "'The child is pretty well
grown. / saw her only last month, and
a handsomer, high stepping, up headed
young filly you seldom cross. Pity she
and Allen can't make a match of it,
That would be an ideal settlement Of
this 6O-year-0ld lawsuit. "
Hawkins and Mr.. Hildreth exchanged
looks Clearly Vance did not know all
that might be known regarding Over
toms claim. Finding the others silent,
he went on:
"Good thing for you Hawkins, To
have it settled anyway. ! was talking
yesterday with one of those syndicate
fellows From what he said, no matter
whom they buy from, your commission is
hfe. / always thought you were sharp
fellow. Now know you for the prince
of double action bargain makers.
Hawkins smiled all over his face at
the equivocal compliment. Yet in the
same breath he sighed.
Zone way am safe, " he said. "Still If
Allen had held out-but never mind. AS
you say, any settlement is better than
none, for no settlement no sale, and
that's the main thing with me- tell
you it's chance that doesn't come to q
poor country lawyer more than once in
q lifetime" F."
"Hear him, will you?" said Vance,
apostrophizing space. Poor country
lawyer indeedl Why, Hawk, your bank
account is positively corpulent, your
purse overloaded with fees and charges
from the claim alone. You owe Major
Overton monument when he dies. He's
been your best friend. His persistence
has been the cornerstone of your fortune.
don t wonder that you are downhearted
over not having to fight him longer. But
cheer up, old lad Once the furnaces are
running again, there'll be fine pickings
in the harvest Of damage claims.
Hawkins turned the livid blue red Of
a turkey gobbler's snout. Though mon
ey was his god, he hated to be proclaim
ed its worshiper He got up, saying
stifiy:
"Good day, gentlemen. Mr.. Hildreth,
no doubt you'll see the major pretty
soon. When you do, my regards to him,
and tell him I'll be pleased to wait on
him with the agent Of those foreign cap
italists. Not that I'm trying to worm
you out, sir Not at all Only know
their ways and might give you and the
major hint or two worth having"
''Not doubt Of it," said Mr.. Hill
dreth, bowling his visitor away. AS the
door closed Vance flung q curse after
him and said, shaking himself as If to
be rid of something unpleasant:
"That fellow walks straight enough,
but never see him that I don't feel as
though he were crawling and / wanted
to tread ON him.
'It would scarcely be safe. In the
main he's good enough fellow, but
there is something Of the reptile about
