Yet even that has not yet discounted
the manner in which Yvette Guilbert
was advertised last year. At that time,
during the racing season, long light
overcoats became the fashion in France
those startling affairs that reached to
the heels, and only became slight and
elegant figures, although in Paris ut
that time almost every smart man who
could wore one. Never more than half
dozen ever came to Boston. At that
time one constantly met ON the streets
IN Paris dozen wcll-dressed men
wearing these coats. They wore silk
hats and patent feathers, and had field
glasses swung over their shoulders.
They looked so clean, so happy, so alto
gether attractive and correct that
everyone stared at them-and enyied
them-until the leader shouted out
'Ivette Guilbert." and the rest of the
crowd responded "To -night-9 o'clock
ut La Scala The snap being given
away, the crowd marched on, laughing
and testing, to attract another hearing,
and like Frenchmen they played the
part well. 1t seems to me that after
that it may well be claimed that the
French want no lessons from us.-Bos-

STOPPED FIRED THE BULLET


clear and distinct, from the detached
train. The man Mt the telegraph instru
ment sprung to his feet and ran to n
side window in the waiting room and
looked up the track.
Now was her chance. Hardly think
ing what she did. Polly sprung to the
engineers side of the cab, threw back
the reverse lever and opened the throt-
tie steadily. The big steel wheels be-
gan to turn. very slowly at first. Far
Their and farther the throttle opened
and faster and faster turned the
wheels. and yet they did not so half
fast enough to suit Polly. who was now
CHANGING fearfully over her shoulder.
Suddenly the depot door was thrown
open and she saw the robber darting up
the track. He had his pistol in his
hand. He was pointing it at her and
shouting for her to stop. But the en-
CINE was now going at good speed. and,
run as he would, the robber could not
catch it. But he stopped and fired, the
bullet ripping through the cab cover
above Polly's head
track at full speed. Polly knew that it
must be fired or it would not go far,
and so, leaving the throttle open, she
sprung to the coal pit, flung open the
fire hole, and with the heavy shovel in
her small white hands threw in load
after load of coal. When she returned
to her place she could see the first sig

into view. She pulled down on the
whistle cord and the engine shrieked its
distress.
Five minutes later Polly strained at
the heavy reverse lever, turned hard
on the air brake and brought the great
iron horse to a sudden standstill. How
she ever managed to stammer the story
she never knew, but in few minutes
the engine was headed back with half a
dozen armed men aboard of her. Be
hind them came another load of men on
switch engine and two men were rae
ing up the street Of Mercer calling the
alarm.
They heard firing before they reached

cued and excited passengers and ex-
press messengers began to crowd
around and inquire the Mercer men re-

out to find the girl who had brought
help to the beleaguered train.
In little clump of bushes they heard
man moaning, and an instant later
they saw Polly kneeling In the sand,
with her fathers head in her lap, cry
ing bitterly. And they gathered up the
brave engineer and his daughter and
carried them down to the train, cheer
ing all the way.

Swarming around the engine she heard
fierce oaths. and then the engine start
ed up again. She saw In an instant
that Ii had been cut free from the train.
In the cab window, where her father
usually stood, there was a big. unfamil-
lar figure managing the lever and throt-
tie. Terrified, Polly sprung to one side
into a clump of bushes. AS the locomo-
tive passed her on its way up the track
she saw that the man in the cab wore
black mask on his face, and then she
knew what had happened. She under
stood why Pinckney had tried to warn
her and failed. Robbers had held up
the train and were preparing to rob
the express car.
For moment Polly was torn with
doubt Dnd terror. Had they shot her
father? She knew that he never would
submit to have his train captured with

from the cab window and darted
across the platform. Hardly thinking
what she was doing, Polly ran up on
the other side, the fireman's side of the
engine, and, raising herself up, peered
into the cab. She had half expected
to see her fathers dead body lying
on the floor, for she had heard much
about the terrible doings of train rob-

Through the cab window she could
see the rObber sitting at her own little
desk in the depot sending a message.
1t flashed over her all at once that he
was wiring Mercer that the express
was delayed. thus preventing any
alarm. The robber had pushed up his
mask and she saw him plainly.
What should she do? She dared not
enter the office, and she, mere girl,

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins s Company's Review
of Trade.

Of Trade.
The leading feature of the market
during the week has been the rapid
subsistence OF the speculation that in
part caused the marked and sudden adj
vance in values. The market is now
once more upon plane of action where
supplies and demand can be expected
to exert the controlling influences.
The forward movement of the winter
wheat crop has been fairly large and is
now about to be supplemented by in
creaslng receipts of spring wheat. Up
to the present time export clearances
have been sufficiently large not only to
prevent any increase, but to cause de-
crease, in available stocks that were al
ready reduced almost to depletion. The
advanced values have checked export
sales, and we may, with the larger re-
ceipts i'll the near future, look for in
creaslng stocks at centers of accumula-
ton. So, while the general situation
remains as strong as ever, the advance
appears over for the time being, or at
least until the foreigners again become
large buyers of wheat.
In corn the week has resulted in some
marked changes. A large crop is no
longer anticipated by anyone, and the
only question is how small it may
prove. We are justified, from all the
information obtainable, in claiming
that the early planted cora promises
well and is practically beyond damage
from frost. The planted corn is in an
entirely different position. Under the
most favorable weather conditions it
can make nothing but nubbins and fod.
der. The final result promises not
more than two-thirds of a crop, and
frost within the next two weeks might
further reduce the yield. h.
The advanced values for wheat have
attracted speculation to corn and re-
suited IN some improvement in values.
still further advance would have
taken place had it not been for the
enormous receipts of corn sold to arrive
before the extent of damage to growing
crop had become known. Since then
farmers have ceased selling freely and
receipts next week promise to be much
smaller. The market, relieved of the
selling pressure for country account,
supported by an excellent cash demand,
promises, with the aid of the increas-
ing speculative support, to advance still
further

Late News From Hawaii,

The editorial correspondence of The Star
from Honolulu, printed today comes to
hand at a most Interesting juncture coinci-
dent with the favorable action taken today
by the Senate committee on foreign rela-
lions on the annexation treaty. 1t is there
fore the more appropriate as 1t bears di-
rectly upon one of the most important top
les of the year, now probably close to a
climax. Showing the general effect of the
news of the negotiation of the treaty 1t in
dictates that the Hawaiians were disap-
pointed in learning that there would be
some delay in the accomplishment of the
object upon which they had set their
hearts. The letter brings further proof to
bear upon the statement often made of
late. with the best of reason, that Hawaii
now stands between American annexation
and Japanese absorption and that if this
country fails to accept the opportunity now
offered the islands will surely and perhaps
speedily pass into hands from which it can
never be secured save by a struggle. The
relations between Japan and Hawaii are,
it is evident from this communication.
none too easy or friendly. The writer
points out that each side to the contro-
versy is touchy and expects much con-
sideration, that Japan is particular APP
iChcHSiNc vi SiiSHlS III affairs
and that it behooves the United States in
dealing with her to observe all the niccties
and courtesies of international etiquette
1t would appear that the Japanese minis
ter resident in Hawaii had abated some
what from his uncompromising attitude
with regard to arbitration and thus the
hint let fall by Count Okuma in his talk
with The Stars correspondent in Tokyo is
Vol Fl p hay- oil t.
from the disclosures of this letter that
the Japanese people themselves, and espe-
claliy those now resident in Hawaii have
cast their eyes longingly upon the islands.
The correspondent shows how the japanese
are today in an excellent position from a
military point of view and makes some
interesting comments upon the relative
chances of the Japanese and American
naval forces now stationed at Honolulu in
the event of rupture of the present
peaceful relations.
