tuition OF some accomplished and high
bred woman" thought Lord Carls-
wood, will make her prese utable any
where"
After dinner, while he paused In his
conversation, she looked up at him
suddenly.
Il must not forget to write to Paul,
my husband" she said; The will be
waiting so anxiously for a letter from
me-"
Lord Carlswood waved his hand with
a courtly gesture.
will you oblige me, Mrs. Waldron,
while you honor me with your society
by refralning from all mention of thst
persons name?"
Her face flushed with anger-some
proud retort sprang to her lips; but
prudence won the day-she made no
reply.
After that Lord Carlswood was
kinder to her than ever. He took her
round the picture gallery he talked to
he admired her.
Without ostentation, withont ut Nst-
ing. he gave her some faint idea Va che
glories of the house of Carlswood He
showed her ancient armor that had
been worn by the heroes and warriors
Of his race; he showed her the pictured
faces of men whose voice had ruled the
land, he showed her the portraits of
ladies whose names had been proven
bial for beauty and grace.
Ismay listened without comment. In
her own mind she was comparing the
magnficence of everything around her
with the poverty of her own little
woodland home. Could she ever re-
turn and live contentedly there again ?
Lord Carlswood watched her in ST.
lence; he took heart from the express
sion of her face he kept her purposely
engaged in conversation.
Let her forget to write to him dur
ing this first night of her absence" he
said to himself, "and | shall consider
1t a point gained. 1t will teach him
what to expect for ] begin TO hope and
to believe she will not leave me-"
1t was not until Ismay stood in her
room at midnight that she said to
herself
what shall | do? have forgotten
to write to Paul."

Madison. Wis, Dec, 4-The greatest
gridron contest far and away the west
has ever seen has been arranged for
Madison next Saturday, Dec. 3, when
the Wisconsin and Chicago university
eleyens will contest forfootball suprem-
acy. Preparations are being made
for at least 10000 spectators. The
athletic council of Wisconsin uni
versity has formally decided to permit
the game and to sanction the agree
ment reached at Chicago recently,
which Dean Birge, as its representa-
tive. helped TO formulate-the ar
rangement by which Michigan and
Wisconsin will hereafter alternate with
Chicago in Thanksgiving games and by
which the big seven of the past is IN
creased to a big nine by the admis-
sion of Iowa and Indiana universities.
Upon receipt of the statement of the
council, Manager Fisher Immediately
wired it to Stage at Chicago and tele-
graphed the members of the team to
appear at the training table last even
ing, preparatory to going into hard
training today. He received reply
from Stage that was in the nature of
an appeal, the Chicago coach suggest
ing that the game, if played in Chi
cago, would bring an income of 500
600 to $4,000. Mr.. Fisher refused to
recede from his position contending
that revenues are not the chief purpose
Of college athletics. The Ringing
Bros circus seats from Baraboo will
be secured if possible and bleachers
will be erected with them at the north
side and probably both ends of the field
to seat $500 to 1000 people. The
present seating capacity of the grand
stand bleachers is $500. The manage
ment viii also place chairs around the
edges of the bleachers, taking advan-
tage of every opportunity to secure
extra room for the great crowd that
is expected to come from the city, the
state and Chicago.
The officials for the game will be
Eyarts and Bob Wrenn Harvard foot
ball experts, the former as umpire and
the latter as referee. ne ADMISSION
prices for the game will probably be 81
with 81 for reserved seats. Game will
probably be called at o'clock sharp.
A rate of at least | 1-3 fares for the
round trip will be granted by the rail-
roads, which may give So rate for
the Chicago crowd if it promises to
reach the proportions of the Madison
delegates TO Chicago Thanksgiving
day. Special trains are expected from
a dozen points.

NEW YORK. Dec 15.-Beyond much
question the chief factor in today's re-
oovery in the stock market was the buying
of stocks for short account. Close OBJ
servers OF technical market conditions con
slider the position OF the short account
as more extended than it has been at any
time in a number of years. AT all events,
after opening and continuing somewhat un-
settled during the forenoon the market de-
veIoped pronounced strength, and the ma
jority OF the rather pronounced declines
that resulted from the mornings dealings
were obliterated. The general price level
was carried well above the average pre-
ysiling at the close.
Il was to be expected in view Of the cir
cumstsnces of the week the trading was
stiu marked by a rather uncertain tone,
and the market showed a good deal Of r-
regularity. but it was characterized by less
feverishness than has been noted az any
time since Monday.
AS has been foreshadowed by the de-
veIopments in the foreign exchange market
with the course OF the week engagements
OF gold for export by tOmOrrow's steamship
were announced. but the matter was with
out any effect upon sentiment, as IL seemed
10 be generally recognized that the meta
was being forwarded to the quarter where
il is in the greatest demand, and where
il will contribute most to the general gooC
in respect TO the monetary situation.
While. as usual, conjecture in regard u
the probable showing that will be made by
the banks tomorrow was active, there ap-
peared to be much less than the ordinary
appreheusion entertained in that regard
II seemed 10 be the general opinion that
irrespective Of the changes that may ap'
pear in the banks cash holdings, the loaT
account will be sufficiently reduced TO more
than Offset any possible loss in reserves.
There were few developments of partIc
rlar interest with the course Of the dal
bearing upon the general market or par
ticular stocks. Money on call was eas!
throughout the day and sterling exchange
reacted on the appearance Of bills sole
against the gold exports. The Londol
market was again reported strong and &C

INCREASED RAILROAD TRAFFIC.
General LOnGstreet's Commissions
showing for the Fiscal Year.

Gen. James LOngstreet, Commissioner Of
Railroads, has submitted his annual report
to the Secretary of the Interior. He says.
among other things, that the phenomenal
increase Of railroad traffic last year over
all former years has continued in an in
creasing ratio during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1893, and has been limited only
by lack Of cars to carry the product al
though the companies have bent every
energy to bring up the supply to equal the
demand
The large increase of net earnings and
expenses for 1888 over 1898 is a complete
reason for the advance OF wages and largely
increased labor rolls; all the industries
of our country seem 10 be worked to the
limit of even their increased capacities,
vet the demand largely exceeds their power
to supply. This Is prosperity. The physical
conditions of our land-grant and bond aided
roads improve in fully equal ratio with
their improved financial betterment.
During the ten months Of this calender
year , 700 miles of new track have been
laid il the United States; more would have
been built. but ii was impossible to secure
the labor or the rails and track supplies.
