BERLIN, Dec. 16-In financial circles last
week attention was devoted chiefly TO af-
fairs of the mortgage banks. The weekly
financial reviews freely admit that the
market was rapidly drifting towards panic
until a syndicate of Berlin banks was or
ganized for the protection OF the holders
of obligations of the Prussia Hypotheken
Aktien Bank. The danger was intensified
early in the week by the announcement
that the Pomersnian Hypctheken Bank
and the Neutrality-suspicious. Hypotheken
Bank would discontinue repurchasing their
obligations. A great rush 10 sell all other
mortgage bank obligations followed. and
so great was the apprehension that the
published statement OF the United states
mortgage banks asserting that their own
condition was perfectly sound, did not have
an immediate effect. Nevertheless this
statement and the organization OF a syndi-
cate qaieted alarm. and at the end Of the
week the selling of obligations had marked
Iy diminished and the general tone Of the
market improved.
Declines for week I'm mortgage bank obli-
cations ranged from TO points, which
means an enormous loss on the 6.ooo.ooO0co
marks of such securities circulating In
Germany.
Yesterday morning the committee of hold
ers of obligations of the Deutsche Grund-
schuld Bank published a statement showing
that the most recent balance sheets of the
institution were false. and that. during tbs
last eighteen months, 100000 marks OF
first class mortgages had been replaced by
second class. mostly worthless; and the
committee asks the holders 10 take meas
ure to avoid bankruptcy, thereby saving
from 80, 100000 to 100000 marks.
The mortgage bank affairs affected the
money market. inasmuch as the banks have
entierly withdrawn from the loan business
and on the contrary are borrowing in order
to repurchase their obligations. Private dis
count reached 4s per cent. and call loans
per cent. The Reichs Bank still expects

CHAPTER XVII.

The letter which Philip had received
and which his wife now read was as
follows:
Rev. Philip Strong. Pastor Calvary Church. Nil
ton:
Dear Sir and Brother-Ihe seminary at Fairview
has long been contemplating the addition to Its
professorship Of a chair Of sociology. The lack OF
funds and the absolute necessity Of sufficient en-
dowment for such a chair have made II impossi-
BILE hitherto for the trustees to make any definite
move in this direction recent legacy, OF which
you have doubtless heard, has made the founding
Of this new professorship possible. And now the
trustees by unanimous vote have united upon you
as the man best fitted 10 I'LL this chair OF sociolo-
w. We have heard Of your work In Milton and
know OF Il personally. We are assured you are
the man for this place. We therefore tender you
most heartily the position Of professor of socoo-
Ky at Fairyiew seminary at salary OF q, 500
year and a preliminary years absence, either
abroad or In this country before you begin actual
labors with the seminary.
With this formal call on the part Of the trustees
goes the most earnest desire the part OF all the
professors OF the seminary who remember you In
your marked undergraduate success as student
here You will meet with the most loving well
come and the seminary will be greatly strength
ened by your presence In this new department.
We are, In behalf Of the seminary, very cordially
yours, The TRUSTEES
Here followed their names, familiar
to both Philip and his wife.
There was moment of astonished
silence, and then Sarah said:
"Well. Philip, that's what call the
finger of Providence"
do you call it the finger OF Provi-
dence because IT points the way you
want to goT asked Philip, with a
smile. But his face instantly grew So
Der. He was evidently very much ex-
cited by the call to Fairview. 1t had
come at time when he was In con-
dition to be very much moved by 1t.
Eyes, Philip" replied his wife as she
smoothed back his hair from his fore
head, at is very plain to me that you
have done all that any one can do here
In Milton, and this call comes Just In
time. You are worn out. The church
is opposed to your methods. You need
a rest and a change, and, besides,
this is the very work that you have al
ways had a liking for"
Philip said nothing for a moment.
His mind was in a whirl Of emotion.
Finally he said: Eyes; l would enjoy

tempting call. / feel drawn toward It.

Philip paused, as his habit sometimes
was. and at that moment the bell rang,
and Mrs. Strong went down stairs. As
she went along she felt almost per-
suaded that Philip would yield. Some
thing OF his tone seemed to imply that
the struggle in his mind was nearly
ended.

eral times to talk with him about the
mill troubles and the labor conflict In
general. They wanted to see Philip.
Mrs. Strong was anxious about the
condition of Philips health. She asked
the men to come in and went up stairs
again.
"Can you see them? Are you strong
enough?" she asked.
Eyes; tell them to come UP. | am
comfortable now"
Philip was resting easily, and after a
careful look at him Mrs. Strong went
down stairs.
To her surprise two Of the men had
gone. The one who remained ex-
planned that he thought three persons
would excite or tire the minister more
than one. He had staid and would
not trouble Philip very long. But the
business on which he came was of
such an important nature that he felt
obliged to see the minister If he could
do so without danger to him.
So the man went up, and Philip
greeted him with his usual heartiness,
excuslng himself for not rising. The
man took a chair, moved up near the
couch and sat down. He seemed a
good deal excited, but in a suppressed
and cautious way.
Il came TO see you. Mr. Strong, to
tell you about a thing you ought to
know. There is danger of your life
here"
"WhereY asked Philip calmly.
"Here. in this neighborhood."
"Well?" Philip waited for more ex-
PLANTATION.
IL didn't want to tell your wife for
fear of soaring her, but | thought you
ought to know, Mr. Strong, and then
you could take steps to protect your
self or get away"
"Go on. Tell me the worst" said
Philip quietly as the man paused.
"Well," the man went on in a low
tone. ''two others and me overheard
a talk last night by the men who run
the Star saloon and den down by the
Falls. They have a plan to waylay
you, rob you and injure you, sir, and
do it in such a way as to make 1t

A FISH-CATCHING FISH.
He Has Mouth Onc-third the Size
of His Body.

Most remarkable of strange fishes is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never
thclcss reality and a stern one to all
that approach those awful jaws of his.
With a body the color of mud he gen
orally lies in the shadow of some rock
on the bottom of the sea, waiting mo-
tionless for the approach of his prey.
He is provided with an odd kind of Tin
just over the mouth. and this is held
out in front of him to give warning of
the coming of something to be swal-
lowed. one taken alive was expert
mentcd on, and it was found that if
this projecting fin was touched with
stick, even though the stick did not
come near the mouth, the jaws closed
convulSivcly. This shows that the fin,
by some provision of nature closes the
jaws rs soon as it is touched.
The mouth IS tremendous, growing
to the width of n foot when the whole
fish Is only three feet long. One of
these anglers was caught not long
since, and. though it was only - inches
long. fish II inches long was found
sticking in its throat. The angler is
provided with peculiar teeth set in
double or treble rows along the jaws
and at the entrance of the throat.
Some of these teeth are n foot long.
He is not Il pretty fish to look at. but
he attends strictly to business and Will
swallow anything that touches his
warning fin. whether it Is meant for
food or not
All kinds of things have been found
in the stomachs of anglers, from bits
of lead and stone to fish almost as large
rs the angler itself. This is without
doubt ono of the most peculiar and in
tercSting fish in the whole occan-St.

Nothing in modern surgery has made

the operator arrives at his hospital, he
exchanges his clothing for a suit that has
