Tho cheering news comes from Wash
,ngton this morning that the recent
drafts upon the Treasury for gold ior
EXPORT and for industrial use nave peen
made good. and hat the reserve is no"
restored to it's maximum, amouHeihs
today to slO7, sol ,s7s. simultaneously we
are told there is a strong movement IL
favor of our securities in the European
markets and it is expected that such a
demand will presently set in for them
as will change the current OF exchange
and break up the rates which no"
create a tendency in gold to flow 10
Europe.
The explanation of the gold acquisition
by the Treasury is not yet quite clear
Secretary Curtis, at Washington. saia
va sterday that, so far as he knew, 1t was
not due to any action on the part Oh the
Bond Syndicate. The increase, he saia'
came about in the ordinary course OF
business and was due to an exchange OF
gold for bills, probably caused by the
settlement of accounts in New YORK.
The incident was, he said, not infrequent'
On the other hand, a story is current IN
WALL street that the increase is due TO
the direct Intervention of the Belmont
Morgan syndicate. The bankers it is
said, had a quantity of gold on deposit
In the Assay Office in New York, and, as
+lo TNroa c11ry reSprVa was al
fected, they turned over their certificates
to the Secretary of the Treasury, taking
greenbacks in exchange. Their motive, II
is said. is to so completely restore con-
fidence abroad in our money that a mar
ket will be made for the stocks and bonds
which they desire to dispose of. This re-
suit, apparently. has been accomplished.
The action of the syndicate, We are told
was cabled to the other side, and its ef-
feet in d~issfpating the feeling of uncer-
tainty was reflected in a strong market
for American securities on the London
Stock Exchange. Houses with information
al connections stated that this new policy
of the syndicate would encourage a re-
sumption of speculation in Americans"
A notable pendant to this event is the
disclosure of the fact that agents OF
foreign capitalists are focking to our
shores to seek investment for European
cash. The World tells US that they
come to place foreign money in Amer
ican enterprises, and they come in fun
confidence that the very best use that
can be made of the plethoric hoard of
money now held in London. Paris and
other money centres is in American
securities and American undertakings.
For one enterprise, for which the adj
wiser recommended a subscription of
200, 900, or 81 1000, 600, there has been put
up e., 1000, 600, or s10,OGO. 900.
All these circumstances give the best
practical reply to Republican charges
against the Democratic policy. 1t APP
pears that the Administrators financial
policy has really restored our credit
abroad, and the new tariff, so far from
booming foreign industries at the ex-
pense of our native ones, has led for
eign investors to think that there is a
great future for investments made here
on account of the proximate develop
ment of our commerce.

TRYING A HORSE.


He Is Looked Upon With Suspicion Until
He Proves His Worth.
And now we will suppose that an
animal answering this description has
finally been selected, and certified by
the vet to be sound and of proper age
that is, not under five. There remains
for him and for paterfamilias only the
ordeal of the family. When the new
purchase-harnessed, we will assume,
to a two-seated wagons brought
around for the first drive, he is received
in gloomy silence, the young ladies be-
ing disguised with his color. They
expected strawberry roam, or at least
q rich bay, whereas he is of shade
which they stigmatize at once as '.yel-
low ocher." The eldest son, who by
continually frequenting the nearest
livery stable has acquired some repu-
tation in the family as a horseman,
would be glad to suggest curb, or
quarter-crack, or weakness in the of
knee; but being overawed by the supe-
rior authority of the vet, he contents
himself with critical examination of
the animals eye, in which he processes
to discover aspirit of devilish malignity
that BODIES i'll for life and limb.
Cheered by this prophecy, the family
take their seats, paterfamilias firmly
grasping the reins and prepared for the
worst The first drive with a new
horse is commonly one of silent and
resolute anticipation. That the animal
will behave we'll no one expects. The
only doubt is as to whether ne will
stand and kick, run away. or suddenly
develop some incurable disease; but as
mile after mile is slowly but steadily
reeled off without accident, the horse
exhibiting no special depravity and no
signs of 1ameness, the spirits of pater-
familias rise. He touches the new steed
with his whip, cuts out an express
wagon in grand style, and finally
brings up with a flourish at the home
curbstone.
Already the new horse has passed
from the awful region of the mysterious
to that of the homely and familiar, and
now presents himself to the imagina-
ton of his owners. not as an unknown
brute, but as faithful Dobbin, des-
tined, let MS hope, to long and useful
career-Henry Childs Merwin, in Gem

like demon, he kicked like mule,
and though the shawl had partly
bound his arms to his sides he would
have soon ovcrpowered all three of us.
AS our captive gyrated around the
floor vainly trying to free himself, a
small flask with a sponge attached fell
from his pocket. My mother snatched
it up. ''It is the chloroform he meant
for u.s. she said with awful calmness;
I'm give him some of it."
She struck the bottle on the edge of
the table, the neck broke off, and she
deliberately poured the whole con-
tents over the head of the writhing,
struggling man. The sweetish, sicken-
ing odor filed the chamber grew
faint and everything blurred before
me, but still gripped the dirty right
hand which i had seized when the
melee first began and my last conscious
thought was towonder whether we had
really killed the man who had sudden
ly grown so quiet.

corner of the room lay our burglar.
! He had been Invested of his shawl,
handkerchief and cap and was a pitt
able looking object enough as he
gaspingly returned to life. He was
handcuffed and the patrolman was
just tying his legs together in COM
pick fashion that seemed to give him
much satisfaction. My mother sat on
the bed in collapsed heap, and Hilda
knelt beside me holding my hands,
which she had been gently chatting.

opened the trap door of the cellar,
which lay just inside, hoping he would
fall in if he tried to enter. Then she
had released my mother, and after
had tainted and the thief had ceased to
struggle, she had run out and brought
the patrolman to the house.
But, oh, fraulein," she cried, wiring
ing her hands, Il wished not to kill
him.
Now, just you quit fretting about
that baggage in the cellar, Hilda," said
the officer with kindly authority. ''If
you never do worse thing you'll go to
Heaven sure as guns"
BY the time the patrol wagon reached
us Hilda had permitted herself to be
somewhat comforted. We listened to
the retreating wheels which were car
rying off our first, and we hoped our
last. burglars; then, having made a
solemn tour of the house to secure
every door and window, we gathered
