YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.

New York, Aug. 7.--Yesterday after noon the street had taken on a cheer ful feeling. There were reports in cir culation that bankers were buying stocks and that besides this steps had been taken to turn tine market. Wheth- CT this was true or not prices receded very quickly from the early advance they scored this morning. And while the market was far from panicky it was the same old one and six pence that has followed every rally we have had in months. Yesterdays recovery is be- lieved to have done some good. It cer- tainly was enough to give a breathing spell to people who needed it. The general idea to-day seems to be that hereafter recessions will find better buyers awaiting them than had here- tofore been the case. There is a very widely distributed tip to buy Amalga- mated Copper. Chiefly against it is that so many people have the point. The stock has acted better during the last two or three days than at any time since it broke 60, although there are many well informed people down here who look for an early turn. The mar ket itself does not reflect any radical alteration in condition. @$+ Jacob Berry & Co.,,

During a Family Row Threw a Stone
 and Inflicted Severe Scalp Wound.
 A family fight took place on Spring street in West Haven at noon yester- day. Just how the row started is not known, but during the course of events woman named Mrs. Jacques was seen to hurl stone at Elizabeth Darrel, fif- teen years old, which struck her in the head and inflicted severe scalp wound. Dr. Barnett was summoned and found it necessary to take several stitches in the wound. All the parties concerned in the trouble live on Spring street. Mrs. Jacques was arrested and charged with breach of the peace, and in default of bonds was locked up in the town hall Her case will come up in the West Ha- ven town court this morning, although it is expected that the case will be con- tinued until it is found how badly he child is injured.
 In speaking of the child's condition last evening he said that there was be- side the cut slight concussion but that he did not think that there would be any faal results.

CHAPTER TX.

THE PRISONER DECIDES TO. RE-
TURN.
Job had left the scene. Hidden
from view, he was a delighted watch
er of the meeting of the two young
people. He seemed to take almost
parental pleasure in witnessing the
tender demonstrations of feelings be-
tween the lovers, though he had dis
creetly withdrawn to distance,
where he could not hear what they
said to each other. "He seems to be a
worthy young man, and she loves
him; that is plain and evident" was
the thought that ran through his
mind. ''Such being the case, they can
count on my help to make the path
of true love run SMOOTH, ~
He stood in deep thought, making
plans for the future. The two young
people had drawn away from the
house, and now, seated under the big
tree, were talking in a low voice.
Job took advantage of their preoc-
cupation to slip away to the path by
which he had entered the garden.
Since the young man had escaped, it
would be well that some one should
be on guard, for perhaps the burly
constable might come in quest Of him,
and, stupid as the fellow seemed to
be, it would be Henslow's house that
he would seek for his prisoner.
The young mans sudden appear
ance had rather disarranged Jobs

CHAPTER X.
JUST A PIECE OF PAPEF


Job Hendricks passed an uneasy
night, for he constantly was haunt
ed by the belief that there was some
one in the corridor moving back and
forth, and occasionally paused to
take look at him as he lay there
in the moonlight. :
Once or twice he had risen and
gone to the door to peer out, but
found NO one, and then stumbled
back to bed, blaming himself for an
old fool to be in such a constant
state of fear over nothing.
Finally he fell asleep from sheer
exhaustion, and the sun was high
when he awoke and reviewed the
events of the day before.
What he had to do he must do
quickly, for it seemed that he was
not altogether safe himself, and he
felt that he could not trust Ellison.
"Once he is free," referring to the
school-teacher, land the young peo-
pie are united, and I have settled
matters with that other rascal, 1
shall go back to my old home with a
smiling face,'' he said to himself, as
he made his scanty toilet. Thinking
over plans for the future made him
alternately merry and sad, but the
controlling feeling seemed to be one
of satisfaction. .....
After hasty breakfast he made
up his mind that he would try and
find out how Dick had Jared since
his experience of the night before,
and whether they had taken any
precautions against his repeating his
nocturnal ramble.
He approached the building from
the back, concealing himself behind
the bushes that had sheltered him
on his last visit. He had a good view
Of the place where young Barnett
was confined, and noted that the
window was now protected with new
iron bars, instead of the fimsy ones
that had been there formerly.
AS Job watched, an utter stranger
to him appeared at the window and
peered out. Though he stood there
for an hour or more, he did not see
the young school-teacher, and at last
turned away, believing that he must
have been removed to some safer Sc
clusion.
That prank Of his may cost him
dear, in the loss Of privileges that
he enjoyed before, feeling disap-
pointed il his visit. Well, guess

sponed child, and exclaimed: .,
"How clumsy you are-can't you
see, you stupid man, that I am burn
ing with impatience?"
He finally drew forth the letter
and handed it to her with trembling
fingers.
Having seized it, she paid no fur
ther attention to him, but ran over
to the porch of the house, where
lantern, burning dimly, hung from
one of the pillars.
Job watched her while she read
the lines, her pale face transfgured.
"How she does seem to love the
poor fellow" he murmured, with a
certain longing in his voice, as if
speaking of one of whom he was en-
vious. ''It must be satisfaction to
be loved like that"
1t did not take her long to read
the message, and then, thrusting it
in the bosom of her dress, she re-
turned to the man who stood wait
ing, eying her with an air of uneasy
interest.

''It don't matter,'' he added hum

'But you are a friend of Dicks,
and therefore, a friend of mine,' -
said she, holding out her hand. He
took it in his great, rough paw, and
held it SO long that finally, with a
quick gesture, she drew it away, re-
garding him curiously.

Job dashed his hand across his eyes
and laughed nervously.
me, ma'am; well, that would be
curious, wouldn't it?" Then, after a
pause, as if trying to collect himself:
"You see, I had a daughter once.
Had she lived she would just have
been about your age. That's why
it makes me feel kind of upset.
"Was it long ago you lost her?"
she asked, with genuine sympathy in
her voice.
MANY years, my child, many
years." Then, as if wishing to change
the subject which had become pain
full to him: II hope that note brought
you is the means of cheering you up.
You have troubles of your own-''

visitor, for he uttered an exclama-
ton that was hardly expressive of
welcome. The other, without a word,
slipped into the hall, and the door
closed noiselessly behind him.
$50 Henslow is up to his old tricks
again. muttered Job Hendricks
He still receives people by night on
the sly. [ wonder who that fellow
was? 1t seems to me that his figure
was familiar. Bah! What difference
does it make. L have something
more important on hand than the
lawyers visitors. 1t will keep him
could not have arranged themselves
better for me-"
On the side of the house was a
small gate, which evidently commu-
nicated with the rest of the building,
and Job, after a moments thought,
pushed this open and entered a mar
row path that led along the walls
of the house.
AS he made his way slowly and
cautiously along, he became aware of
strange humming sound, as if some
one was grooming a lullaby. The
moon had now risen, and, as he
reached the back of the house, he
saw slender, womanish figure seat
ed under tree in the garden. He
passed her unobserved, his feet MAX
ing no noise on the grass. Then he
stood for a moment contempla ting
the girlish figure. It was her sing
ing that he had heard as he came
along. She sat there, her face rest
ing on one arm, which was flung
about a lower branch of the tree,
looking very sad in her black dress,
which accentuated the pallor of her
face.
Job did not move, his eyes fixed
yearningly on the white features,
while his lips moved, though not a
sound came from them. Many min
utes he stood there motionless, as
if he could not look enough at the
girl before him.
Though he made no sound or be-
trayed any more life than the trees
in the garden, she seemed to learn in
stinctively that she was not alone,
and, turning. rose with an exclama-
ton.
''Who are you-what do you,
want?"
AS she spoke she advanced few
PAGES toward him in the moonlight.
She did not betray any fear at see
ing a strange man in the garden at
night.
Job sighed, as if he had really ex-
pected a different greeting.
Don't be alarmed, young lady,"
he replied hoarsely. Il am only de-
sirous of being of service to you.''
''Who are you?" moved in spite of
herself by the deep feeling he put in
his simple speech.
"A friend-that is all. I bring you
a message
From Dick?" eagerly.
''The same"

hand.

The constable sighed and mopped
his brow vigorously.
"Phew! This is job I amt no

to the only gentleman criminal we
ever had to town. Well, so long,
stranger, and thank you kindly"
Then, with mighty groan, he set
off on run in the direction pointed
out. Job could not resist a laugh
at the grotesque figure the man
made as he disappeared in the night.
He turned just in time to see young
Barnett come out through the gate.
For a moment the latter hesitated,
and then, recognizing his visitor in
the moonlight, advanced:
''What, are you still here?" he
asked, rather testify.
EXACTLY, and it seems that was
just in time to save you from being
captured"
"What do you mean?"
Job told him of his meeting with
the constable and how he had sent
that worthy off on the trail of an
other man.
well, you are WONDER" replied
Dick, at the same time puzzled that
stranger had twice that day put
him under obligations. ''Still the
poor man might as well have taken
me now as later"
Il wanted you to have all the time
possible for your talk. 1t may be
that you will not have the chance
again SO soon.'
Barnett's face fell and he became
"You think, then, it will go hard
with me for taking leave as I did?'
mo doubt of it, but why go back?
You might remain in hiding until
your name is cleared of the CHARGE %
But the other shook his head.
''No, no; that would look as if I
we're guilty. Come, I think I can
slip back to the improvised cell, re-
store the bars and pretend that
have never been away from it. I
dare say that the good Mr.. Blivens
will be so delighted to see me that
he will not care to make the matter
public.''
eff you trusted to me, you might
never need to go back" said Job.
'You are kind, but I think I shall
be acting for the best part in going
back. 1t will appear in my favor
should it become known that I could
have freed myself, and yet remained
prisoner" Then, before Hendricks
could reply, Barnett turned and
made off in the direction of his tenn
porary prison.
''Good stuff in that young chap
muttered Job, as he watched the
slight figure disappear in the dark.
"Justice will be blind, indeed, if she
errs in dealing with such an honest
and right-minded man as that''
AS he turned away a light ap-
peared in the upper window of the
house, and for a moment the figure
of a woman was outlined on the
Opaque curtain. He stoodgthere with
clasped hands watching the silhou-
cite, motionless, for an hour or
more, and then turned with a sigh
to seek his bed at the Bluebell.

the house and saw light in one of
the windows, he said: "But it is time

"I never heard Dick mention that

"Probably not, since we never met

She looked at him in such a puz-
zled way that he smiled.
"Just set me down as one who
wishes you young people well, and
will do all that lies in his power to
see you safely through this trouble"
She fixed her eyes on him for mo-
ment wistful]y, and then, with some
hesitation, as if asking a favor:

stepped out of the shadows.

her toward him and kissed her.
"There's nothing ghostly about
that, is there?" and he held her out
arms length with both hands, smil-
ing as if the shadows of the bars had
never separated them.
"Come, you don't seem glad to see
mel" as she did not speak.
"Glad? That is faint. word to
use. But it all seems so strange that
you should be here" .
"Strange, but true"
'Then they have set you free?"
eagerly.
"No such luck. I freed myself. I
could not rest satisfied with sending
you message, when only few bars
stood between me and freedom; so I
kicked them out, and here I am. Let

around wonderingly; then said: "But

came up. Who is he? Where has he
gone?''
