Stickney, Admiral Dew ey's aide, who was by his side during the engagement in Manila Bay, and gives a thorough account of the late battles, also minute and accurate de scription of the life of the great ad- miral.
 The volume is dedicated to the navy of the United States by its author.

The stock Market,

 | New York, Aug. 10.-To-day's stock
 market was a good deal more active
 than for some time past and showed
 undeniable evidence of strength But the strength was for the most part in
 spots and the speculation did not get far
 outside professional limits. The favor
 ties were the industrials, and only a few | of the railroads made any conspicuous gains The most prominent movement of the day was in the leather stocks the common rising IFS and the preferred IA on very heavy dealings in the first nam ed The Iron and Steel stocks as group all showed strength in somewhat | varying degree, but gains in most of
 them reached point and in some of them approached ? points. Tennessee
 Coal and Iron was the leader of the group and of the market, with a rise of nearly points on very heavy demand. The strength in this group is accounted for by the extraordinary condition in the iron trade, where production of the lower grades, although largely increas- ed, seems quite unable to keep pace with consumption in the higher grades of the
 industry. Anaconda Mining shows a handsome gain and there was very
 large demand for National Lead
 American Smeting, American Tinplate
 Colorado Fuel and various other stocks more or less affected by conditions in
 the iron trade were firm in sympathy. Sugar, Peoples Gas, Detroit Gas and Linseed Oil preferred had their periods of strength.
 In the railroad list speculation was inclined to hold aloof pending the pub lication of the government crop report. The St. Paul statement for the first week of August prompted some buying of the grangers. Gains of point or over were shown by Chicago Great Western debentures. Chicago Great Western preferred B., Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf, Oregon Naviga- tion, Hooking Nalleyapreferred, Wheel ing and Lake Erie preferred, Pittsburg, Chicago, Cleveland and St. Louis, Iowa Central preferred and Pacific Coast. Developments in the money market continued to receive much attention, pul were lot llllpOlldll lo-udy. AHSl- ety as to the outlook was, however ap- preciably less Outside money contin- ued to be offered in the local market, and call money continued rather easy and rates for prime mercantile were shaded slightly. Time money, however continued firm and lenders were not anxious to do business at present rates. The failure of the Bank of England to advance it's rate above BE per cent. seemed to have a good sentimental ef- feet on the London market, but private discount rates were unchanged there.

Her mother followed her clear out to the
gate, wishing to say something to her, but
fearing to make her still more angry.
As Mrs. Gordon reached the gate, Helen
was nearly in the middle of the road, hut
suddenly there appeared around corner Of
the road, pair of maddened horses, COM
ing at break-neck speed. The wagon was
swaying from side 20 side, the driver had
BEEN thrown out, and the reins were dang
ling over the horses backs, causing them to
become the more frightened.
The horses were within fifty feet of Helen,
before she noticed them. She was too
frightened to run, and stood perfectly still
Her mother, without thought of her
self, raj toward Helen, pushed her aside,
and was crushed between the hoofs of the
horses, who rushed on, regardless of the

Mr.. Gordon had seen his wife's heroic
deed, and had rushed out to save her but
he was too late.

CHAPTER VII. CONCLUSION.

Such a day of bitter remorse, Helen Cor
den never spent before or after.
The doctor came few minutes after the
accident, and remained for long time in
the sick room.
Helen waited for him, in awful suspense.
'What would the verdict be? Would
she live or die?" Were the questions she
kept asking herself, as she waited on the
veranda, dreading, yet anxious for the
doctor 8 return. When at last he did come,
she seemed not able 10 form the questions
she had teen so anxious 10 have answered.
At last she asked family, GLOW is she

aminute, and then answered, 81 was afraid

He entered his carriage, and drove off
leaving Helen, il possible, feeling more
miserable than ever
notwithstanding the doctors grave fore
bodings, Mrs. Gordon did recover
Her husband was constant watcher by
Der side, taking SO little rest or recreation,
that the doctor feared he would have two
patients, instead o. one.
Mr., Gordon would nos allow Helen to
seo her mother at all and for six long weeks
after her narrow escape from death, she
was kept from her mother, and lived such
a solitary life, that she almost wished she
had gone to boarding school, For Vernon
was with Mrs Gordon almost as much as
his father.
At last, one day when NJ. Gordon was
going out for short walk, after many
hours Of watching by the bedside of the
beloved patient, he met Helen in the hall.
Papa" sue asked, "May send note
to mamma, and tell her how very, very
sorry am, for my wicked words to her?
This time it will be a real heart note 2"
Her father told her that she might, and
that he would deliver it, on his return to
the house.
''This time" thought Helen, "I'll make
it such sorry note, that she'll know its
the truth.
When Mrs. Gordon received the note
she read it with streaming eyes.

not see her again, that she should 90 to

her father.
