ture should end in disaster, he would
rather there should be any other wit
ness than Franklin Rilyard. However,
he was in for it now.
Miss Leigh, you will remember Mr..
Abbott Hilyard was saying.
The young lady came forward with
some small hesitation.
ut is very kind of you, I'm sure"
said Abbott, taking her hand. Il really
have no reasonable excuse for hunting
you DIP. but since you honored me with
that visit the other day in my dingy
sanctum, shedding brief light upon
my dreary toil-er-so to speak
How strange it is" said the girl,
that literary people always speak of
tressing. Really. it must require a
strong sense of duty to keep them at
it,
do you not find it so yourself?"
Abbott asked.
"Goodness," exclaimed the girl. You
don't suppose that L regard myself as
a literary person."
Il surely think that you have the
right" responded Abbott. And that
brings me to my only excuse for this
your story, and / have been quite dis
satisfied with what / said about it the
other day. Upon more mature refiec-
ton have become convinced that.
with a few trifling alterations, it will
be acceptable for the magazine"
please don't let's talk about it," pro-
tested the girl. I'VE have talked Of 1t
so much here that
Surely you have not lost confidence"
exclaimed Abbott. But OF course that
is natural. The way of every artistic
calling lies largely through the valley
of the shadow. AS to this particular
bit of work, however, assure you that
it is very creditable, and you will do
yourself wrong if you permit discour-
agement to destroy your faith"
Miss Leigh laughed nervously and
glanced at Hilyard.
Neither my faith nor my discour-
agement are of much importance" she
said. And my opinion about the sto-
ry is, of course, worth nothing at all in
such a presence as this. But Mr.. Hill
yard has read it."
Indeed" said Abbott, squirting
through his glasses at the author.
His criticism should be of value. Mr..
Hilyard has written a great many sto-
ries, and some of them have been real
ly excellent. We have printed one now
and them

ties OF genius" said Miss Leigh.

announce that fact and to lead you into
her presence, but Mrs. Wilson's board
ing house lies just within the boundary
of Bohemia"
Abbott adjusted his eyeglasses and
looked with mild dismay at Hilyard.
He considered himself to be upon bad
terms with the author on account of
various small matters which Hilyard
had forgotten, if, indeed, he had ever
known that they had happened.
1t was a bold deed, in Abbott's way of
thinking. this call upon Miss Leigh.
Really he had not been invited. 1t was
a bit of romantic presumption; distinct
ly an adventure. He had never done any
thing quite so rash before; but then he
had never met a girl capable of inspir-
ing him, a girl worth risking every
thing for-and conventionality was ev-
erything to Mr.. Abbott If the adven-

cation and he has read great many
books but his life has been so monoto-

anything out of the ordinary. And he
absolutely lacks credulity. If he had

needs it badly"
'I should think he must be queer

Leigh.
Hilyard, who had lived by his pen

was unable to agree fully with the
young lady's remark
Not so queer as he ought to be"
said he You've no idea how hard it
is to make the average editor believe
the truth about his fellow creatures.
The modern craze for romantic fiction
has been a great relief TO some OF them.
1t has freed them from the duty of
of their magazines. Anything may

Abbott. He's in the hall. That's

He's come to make an apology about
that story. Receive it in the spirit in
which it is made; precisely in the spirit
in which it is made. Do you under

The girl rose to her feet and was
about to speak. but Hilyard shook a
warning finger at her as he stepped to
the door

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 29-To-day's stock
market showed more animation in a
strongly rising scale than has been
seen for many weeks. Business for
the first two hours was considerably
in excess of the average for the full
daily trading of last week.
The market closed very active and
strong with the top level of the day
well maintained. Net gains of ! to

active stocks. Reading was easily the
leader of the days market with it's
advance of az on the purchase of
enormous blocks on a constantly ris-
ing sale. The Pennsylvania group of
coalers was conspicuous throughout
and Pennsylvania itself broke through
the opposition which held it for a
time at 125 and rose to the best in
the late dealings. The grain carriers
were later to respond, but they came
forward vigorously In the final deal

Holders of long cotton appeared very
willing to reduce their lines to-day,
and in consequence liquidation followed
that carried prices off IL to 10 points
81 New York and IS to SO points at
Nav Orleans. The bulls did not seem
disnosed at any time during the day
- make a demonstration. The spot
markets were generally hstless, and
in the main closed unchanged.
T,rDentine developed marked
strength during the late hours by the
entrance of the National Tank and Ex-
mort buyers, who stepped in and took
large lots at 4TAc. For the past few
DAYS the urgent demand has been APP
nsrently satisfied. and upon this ex-
Dorters seized to hammer the market.
They were bidding lower day by day,
and when the price got down to Ate,
tbev dropped with their bids into the
46s. Here the tank people entered,
for it has been known all along that
they would want turpentine at or be-
low 47c. 1t has developed that they
wanted it at even higher prices. Their
takings to-day were mostly Atlantic
Coast Line receipts, and 1t is said this
turpentine will go into the big storage
tanks nearby. The market is depend
ing largely upon the volume of re-
cepts, and what they will be depends
largely upon the weather. Conn
plants of too much rain have been
heard of late, and with a continuance
of this full receipts are improbable.
Fair weather. however, would In
crease the receipts. Resins closed
