ITO horse, you men, cried Captain
Frithiof, once having seen his squad

who were no longer alive. The 60 iv-

blood, came again to take their places
at the head Of the ranks.

the captain. LET US start ahead.

On the slanting road which descend
ed from Krakow toward the farm
where the enemy was halted fighting
began again.
The Turks, who had seen the greater
part of the Russian soldiers fall under
their blows, believed themselves safe
now, and they were strangely sur
prised when they heard again the noise
of the approaching cavalry.
At the cry of alarm from the sentinel
they formed in line of battle and fired
on the whole line.
Forty Cossacks rolled on the earth.
1t was those of the first ranks-those
that were alive! The others continued
to charge.
The Turkish soldiers gaZed with
frightened eyes. Where could this
squadron come from? Who were these
demons who received the balls without
moving, bent low over their saddles,
without a word, without cry?
One could not distinguish the number
of horses, and one could believe it was
all the Russian cavalry, a whole army

in retreating, and, fearing all at once,
the whole Turkish army Abandoned
their arms and fled.
The position was taken and the pas
sage became free at last.
Captain Frithiof saw that his squad
ron was there, in it's accustomed order.
The horses were so dOcile that they
had all stopped behind him when he
had shouted ''Halt!" They remained
immovable now, heads low and cover

He arrived at the grand square of
the village. What was his surprise to
perceive, arranged as for parade, the
black line Of the squadron! They were
certainly 800 cavaliers, Captain Serge
Frithiof at their head.
Night had come on, but it was one of

chicago, March 25.-Practical remoy-
al OF wheat to-day regarding serious
injury to wheat forced shorts to cover
a series of nervous bounds taking Nav
wheat up 27sc from 695sc to 721bc.
Owing to profit taking at the improve

closing with a net gain of Nose, as
compared with yesterdays final figures.
Corn rose AZ and oats left off unchang-
ed. Pork advanced 71sc; lard 21s@5c,
and ribs sc.
The feverish excitement which ruled
in wheat at the close yesterday was
again in evidence to-day, but at the
start the bulls seemed to waver. In
stead of a general demand for May at
703sc, such as at the close Friday, there
were plenty OF sellers at from 697sc
down to 69Ac Before the bulls could
get a word in edgeways, the price slid
off to 695sc. The bulls soon found
their voices, however, when the bears
got through with the last bar Of their
opening chorus. May wheat was up to
l0Ssc. Much milder weather and a
spread of wet snow for large section
OF the winter wheat area was the chief
cause of the first decline.
Another cold spell was announced to
be elbowing its way down from the
northwest. AS soon as the weather
bureau notice was issued the shouting
for wheat became almost hysteriacl.
The noise from the bulls soon became
drowned by the alarmed screeches OF
the bears who had been caught loaded
up with short wheat. The price OF
May rose irregularly to the accompani-

MENTIONED FOR GOVERNOR.

Kingwood Journal.
The newspapers in the southern and
other parts of the State have spoken
very highly OF Prosecuting Attorney
Neil ]. Fortney, of this county, as
possible candidate for the nomination
for the office Of governor by the Re-
publican convention in 1901. Mr.. Fort
new is in no sense a candidate for that
distinction, and all mention of that
kind is entirely without his consent or
concurrence, and he simply smiles at
the suggestion. All the same, would
not old Preston's banner be found way
ing in the very for front if such an
issue should arise?
