CHILDHOOD AND MURDER.

How Charles Dickens Painted Them in
Our Mutual Friend.''
1t is in the passage of childhood
veritable childhood. in which the ia
nous Little Nell seems to me to have
no part-that Dickens writes those
words of perception of which literature
would do well to be proud. Take the
passages of several of the novels in
which the heart of child is uttered
by the humorist in whose heart moth
Ing ceases to live. These pages are
too full for citation. But here, in the
last word of the phrase, is a most
characteristic stroke of authorship

Starne. Then. with an angry glance

every man who interferes. as WELL"
Quick looks Of anger greeted this
speech. Starne was not aiding his
cause any by rousing the anger of such
men as these.
Rob, whose senses were rendered
more acute by the danger he was in,
saw at once that Starne had created a
feeling against himself. He was quick
to take advantage of 1t.
Every man who sticks to me will
be rewarded by my uncle!" he called
out. What If this man does kill me?
Does he think that the letter he re-

There was murmur among the
crew. These dark-skinned fellows were
not all murderers because they were
smugglers. They had liked Torrevo,
and they bore Starne no love for kill

they were not the kind to mourn II
they heard of his death somewhere

Rob heard the murmur, and in
stinctively knew that some of the men

Starne's brutality. He quickly turned
and addressed them.
Men, have sailed with you!" he
said. "Torrevo was your friend and
mine. Will you let this man kill me?''
There was no answer from the crow.
They looked at each otter with dark,
questioning glances.

now beside himself with murderous
rage. "I'll show you and them what

WALL STREET HAS
 A GREAT SURPRISE The Bank Statement Was Unex-
 pectedly Favorable. EXPLANATION IS NOT EASY Bears in Sugar Were Relieved from :, Their Panic of Yesterday by the
 Assertion That Sugar War
 Was Still On
EXPLANATION IS NOT EASY

New York. March 31.-Wal1 street was. treated to an agreeable surprise today in an unexpectedly favorable bank statement. The most sanguine preliminary estimate of the gain in cash by the banks for the week on interior currency movement and the sub-treasury operations did not exceed $2, ,500OOO. Tine actual returns show gain of nearly $6,0OO,00O. The explanation of this large increase in cash is not easily per- ceptible It may be due to the fact that the shipments of currency to the interior by the banks have included large propor- tfon of their new note issues, while the receipts have been made up of legal ten- ders.
 The process of sorting thus involved would yield a larger return of cash to the banks of cash available for reserve than would be indicated in the bare figures of ex- cess of receipts over shipments on the in terlor movement. It will be by some such process that the new bank notes will dis play the legal tenders in new circulation ard thus make them available for reserve purposes at the banks
 The bears in Sugar were relieved from their panic oi yesterday by the assertions of officials of the company that the sugar war Was still on. But professional traders handled new short contracts in Sugar in gingerly manner. The stock dipped 1 points at the opening, but did not get with in more than point of as low as that again, and rose at one time a fraction above yesterdays high level. The stock was very feverish- and cratic.
 The buying of railroad bonds ran up to very large proportions during the week. The market was very broad, but the largest demand was for low priced bonds whose security is increased by an added surplus of earnings on which the return is con tlnSent upon increased earnings.
