Ne1v York Stock Market.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-To-day's dealings in
stocks were in excess OF those Of yesterday
and the market had the appearance OF strength

NIT him? Good evening, Mr.. Gable!
Then Miss Marsh had taken up her
bouquet, had gathered around her the
folds of her opera wrap of old-rose
panne velvet, had sent a sweet, swift.
mocking look at Cable standing desert
ed-and was gone.
But, although she heartily enjoyed
the gay comedy to which they went.
she had no faintest idea of the comedy
In which she played a wholly uncon-
scious part. How could she dream that
Reginald Raymon had finally decided
to bestow upon her the inestimable
honor OF his favor?
He was making no rash decision.
He repeatedly strengthened his heart
by this reinsurance while they drove
to the theatre. while he sat by her side
at the play-was her vis-a-vis at sup
per. Her family was one OF not only
social but intellectual pre-eminence.
Her father had been twice senator from
his state. Her brother had held a high
diplomatic post abroad. Their friends
were of the most exclusive. Their ac-
quaintances were those of the cultured
the artistic world. To be sure, the
Marshes had no money to spare. But
what was money to him? And when It
came to grace. and wit. and distinc-
tion, and beauty. and above all, that
exquisite, indeHnable possession we call
breeding-there was not n girl In the
state who might be mentioned in the
same breath with her-no. by George!
not one! And he would marry her
he woujdi He'd tell her so this very
night.
He turned to study her again-and
with pulses that quickened as he look
ed. Faultless of form, graceful as only
beautiful woman and n tigress can
be-with features perfect as those cut
on the silver coins OF Syracuse. she
was worth the incense OF mems hom-
age worthy the quite as precious glory
Of woman's jealousy! There was Just
n glimpse OF creamy flesh through the
meshes Of Mechlin at arms cnd bosom.
