 historians have their way, and
 doubtless it would be thrilling ly romantic at every turn if the novel, ists were able to control its current. Fortunately neither one nor the other has much influence, and the result in the long run is that most novels are sheckingly tame, while the large body of history is loaded down with pictur- esque incidents which if used in fiction would be thought absurdly romantic and improbable.
 Were our simple story of old Vim eennes a mere fiction we should hesi- tate to bring in the explosion of mag azfne at the fort with a view to sud den confusion and by that means dis tracting attention from our heroine while she betakes herself out of sit nation which, although delightful enough for blessed minute, has quick 1y become an embarrassment quite un- endurable But we simply adhere to the established facts in history. Ow- ing to some carelessneSs there was in- deed an explosion of twenty-six 6 pound cartridges, which made mighty roar and struck the newly installed garrison into heap, so to say, scatter ing things terribly and wound1ng six men, among them Captains Bowman and Worthingron.
 After the thundeTous crash came a momentary silence, which embraced both the people within the fort and the wild crowd outside. Then the rush and noise were fndescTfbabIe. Even Clark gave way to excitement, losing command of hixnseh and of course of his men There was a stampede to- ward the main gate by one wing of the troops in the hollow square. They lit eraIly ran over Beverley and Alice, hinging them apart and jostling them hither and yonder without mercy. Of course the turmoil quickly subsided Clark and Beverley got hold of them aelves and sang out their peremptory orders with excellent effect. It was like oil on raging water. The men obeyed in q struggling way, getting back into ranks as best they could.

 The order was instantly obeyed, but Beverley had re1apsed. Once more his soul groped in darkness while the whole of his life seemed unreal, a way ering, misty, hollow dream And yet his military duty was all real enough. He knew just what to do when he reached the gate.

 '4There, now, what did tell you?' cried Alice when the big man was gone. 'I told you Rene would come. They always come back"
 Father Beret came in a little later. As soon as he saw Alice he drowned and began to shake his head, but she only laughed and, imitat ting his hypo- critical scowl, yet fringing it with a twinkle of merry lines and. dimples, pointed a taper finger at him and ex- claimed:

 While Adrienne and Alice were still discussing the probability of Rene de Ronvilles return NJ. Roussillon came to the door. He was in search of madame, his wife, whom he had not yet seen.
 He gathered the two girls in his mighty arms, tousling them with rough tenderness. Alice returned his affec- tionate embrace and told him where to find Mime. RoussiI1on, who was with Dame Godere, probably at her house.

 With burning face she flew to the postern and slipped out, once more talk ing the course which had become so fa- miliar to her feet She did not slacken her speed until she reached the Bour- cier cabin, where sine had made her home since the night when Hamilton's pistol bail struck her. The little domi- cile was quite empty of its household, but Alice entered and flung herself into a. chair, Where she sat quivering and breathless when Adrienne. also much excited, came in, preceded by stream of patofs that sparkled continuously.

 She bounced into Alice's arms, still talking as fast as her, tongue could vt- brate, changing from subject to sub ject without rhyme or reason, her pRat- tie making it's way by slzips and shies until what was reaIly uppermost in her sweet little heart disclosed itself.
 And, 0 Alice, Rene has not come yet!'
 She plunged her dusky face between Alice's cheek and shoulder. Alice hug ged her sympatheffca1ly and said:

 Alice exhausted every device to cheer, encourage and comfort her. Adrfenne had been so good to her when she lay recovering from the shock of Hamfl- toms pistol bullet, which, although it came near killing her, made no serious wound -only bruise, ia fact It was one of those fortunate accidents or providentially ordered interferences which once in awhile save life.

GRAZ MS RULE HIGHER
FIRM UNDERGONE TO WHEAT MOST
OF THE DAY.
Commission Houses and Local Traders
Think the Market Has Been Hammered
Too PersIstentiy, So They Buy Freely
sulish Tone of Government Report
Helps.

CHICAGO. July 21.-Grains ruled firm
and higher today, September wheat closing
as@%c higher; corn was up nc, while
oats showed gain of 1a@%c. Provisions
remained weak and closed from 21bc to
11sc lower
With the exception of a little weakness
at the start, due to free selling by Armour
under which September sold off from the
firm undertone and prices showed a
steady advance to 761ac. Shorts covered
freely and there was good buying by
commission houses and local traders, VINO
were inclined to believe that the market
had been too persistently hammered and
that short selling on the breaks had been
too pronounced. They were also encourag-
ed by the moderately bullish tone of the
weekly government crop bulletin and by
a showing of primary receipts half mil
lion bushels under last year. The market
appeared to be oyer-sold and responded
readily to the demand. The close was
OF rs @&c at 1914 @76%c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to $4,000 bushels. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported receipts of 223 cars, which
with local receipts of 1853 cars, 40 of con-
tract grade, made total for the three
points of 486 cars. against 202 last week
and 112 cars year ago.
Corn Firmer Than Wheat
Corn showed greater frmness than
wheat and with a good general demand
OilcTiIBS were at no time urgent. Inc
close was strong, with September nc
higher at 1870, having sold up with Eet
little hindrance from 4S%c at the open
ing. Trade was good throughout the SEES
sion. Provision interests bought the de-
ferred futures and shorts covered freely
Some late advices of crop damage from
Iowa and Illinois helped the strength.
Clearances were 303, 700 bushels Local
contract stocks showed a decrease. The
volume of business was large. Local re-
ceipts were 1853 cars, with 80 of contract
grade.
There was good trade in oats and
prices responded some to the strength in
other grains, September closing 1s@5sc
higher at 32ss @32&c with range for the
day between 315sc and 325sc. Shorts with
profits were the best buyers, but some
of the advance was lost at the close on
selling by commission houses. Local re-
,ceipts were 399 cars.
Provisions opened easy and sold off on
selling by locals on fair movement of hogs.
Later there was a fair demand from
brokers, supposedly acting for the packers.
and on this and the firmneSs in grains
some of the loss was regained. Septem-
Der pork at the close showed loss of sc,
at $14. 25. Lard was TIC off at 81. So. with
