stock exchange was strong today, although the dealings were again Of retail character, on ly 121 ,000 shares changing hands. The strength of the market was due in large de- gree to the introduction of the sherman imam cial bill, which is generally codsidered the best measure yet introduced to initiate the adverse condition now prevailing in the hnan- cial world. Again the impression prevails that the senate will take favorable action n the matter of the Patterson pooling bill, and there are some who profess to believe that congress will take up the Union Pacific deDt matter and adjust it before the close Of the session. These enthusiasts followed up their belief by buying the stocks. The engagement of $4 400, ,o0o of gold for shipment to Europe tomorrow did not dampen the ardor Of the bulls, and the market ruled strong almost from start to finish. The improvement in prices ranged from A to 2ss per cent, Chicago Gas, Manhattan, American Sugar, Baltimore and Ohio, New Jersey Central, Delaware and Hudson, Tennessee Coal and Iron, Erie, on tario and Western and the grangers all being prominent in the rise. Lackawanna jumped per cent, to 166l2, and later receded to l63l2 @164. Chicago Gas sold up from 72l? to 75@ on reports from the west that the injunction recently granted by Judge Futile, which pre- vented the annual election, would be dis solved, and that the Standard oil interest will name the board of officers at an early date.

occasion, for the first time, the lance
of her orphaned niece, Maud Buchanan,
a young lady of beauty and wealth to
whom Miss Wittemore had been, for
many years, mother. Although
Alauds fiance was count Count Kan
olky, young Frenchman of Polish an
cestry), there was but slight futter-
ing of the wings of society. For those
who were interested in counts had gone
abroad to seek them; and those OF Miss
Wittemore's set who remained had met
counts before and had found them to be
like all the rest of mankind, good and
bad-mostly bad.
There was large attendance ut the
garden party, however. There always
was at any function given by Miss Wit
temore. She was an old maid, it is
true, but she was the sweetest, most
lovable and youngest old maid in all
Christendom. And, besides, there was
about her the atmosphere of that most
interesting thing, a romance in real life
Indeed, Miss Wittemore, in her day,
had been the belle of all America; she
had been, and still was, very rich
woman, and she was of the very inner
most social circle of New York. She
was an old maid Yes, she laughingly
acknowledged the fact herself. But
her friends considered her such more
because they thought she would event.
ually become a prim, old, unmarried
woman than because she was really so
very old. No one could have criticised
the pink of her complexion, the luster
of her hair or the brilliancy of her eyes;
and her figure, her bearing, her manner
were royal.
Old Col. Tom Appleton used to de-
clare that she had received an average
of a proposal day for over ten years.
And there was probably some founda-
ton for the statement. The frank old
soldier was alleged to know more about
the rich girls of New York than all the
young club fellows in town put to-
gether. Having no daughter of his
own, he maintained that he had right
to be father confessor to all of them.
But it was darkly limited that the col
onel based his statement more on his
intimate knowledge of the actions of
his friend and boon companion Charley
Thornton, than on anything else. And
Charley was noted for but one thing
that was his lifelong devotion to Laura
Wittemore. But that is part of the ro-
nance.
The story is short and not so very
common. Laura Wittemore, when a
young girl, had spent several seasons
abroad. During winter in Paris she

his person and would never be recov-
cred. Even though it were, Thornton
would have no claim against the mans
estate. He was vaguely running over
in his mind the few men to whom he
might apply for some sort of work
when a note was handed to him. 1t had
been long time since Miss Laura Witte-
more had done him the honor to write
to him, but he knew at glance that it

riedly, he opened the note. 1t related.
very simply, the fact that Miss Witte-
more had told him never again to ask
her to NAVY him, as she wished TO
square long account by asking him to
marry her. 1t is unnecessary to say
that he went Immediately to her to tell
her of his poverty. And it is quite as un-
necessary to say that she did not seem
to be at all disappointed at this con-
fession of his, and finally succeeded in
convincing him that she had great
deal more money than enough for both
of them.-N. Y. Truth.
