Trade in oats was not heavy. but that
market showed a deal Of Inherent
strength when the other grains were
dropping. The rains. which In the
southwest were helping corn, were a
positive injury to oats in the shock,

Provisions, early in the session, were
weak, but part Of the loss was recov-
cred. Hogs were easy at the yards.

bearish factor. One heavy Spectator

THANK you, no; Tn afraid not, I, said
John. i must really be going now :

It is only q step from here

EYES,"
Very well. Drive to South Kensing-
ton station, Parker" she said to the
coachman; and then, running up the
steps, she waved her hand in good-by
as the carriage turned.
And SO John Kenyon, without the
price of the carriage and horses to his
name, drove in this gorgeous equipage
to the underground station and took
the train for the city.
AS he stepped from the carriage at
South Kensington, young Longworth
came out of the station on his way
home, and was simply dumfounded to
see Kenyon in the Longworth's car
riage. ~r-
John passed him without noticing
who it was, and just as the coachman
was going to start again, Longworth
said to him: I'D *
Parker, have you been picking up
fares in the street?''
"Oh, no, sir" replied the respectable
Parker, "the young gentleman as just
left us came up from the city with Miss
Longwurth.''
"Did he, indeed? Where did you pick
him up, Parler?". ...
-"We picked him up in Chenpside,
sir.''
"Ah,. very good. will just step in
side," and with that, mut1ering some
imprecations on the cheek of Kenyon,
he stepped into the carriage aud drove
home.

AS she said this the nimble footman
threw open the door of the carriage.
while John, not knowing what to soy,
stepped inside and took his seat.
Hllborn," said the young woman to
the coachman; then, turning to Ken
yon' she continued: "Will you not tell
me where You are going, so that may
know where to set you down?"
