Prices Rise in Boston.

Territory woods have been highly
active. Certain large consumers
have come in, says the American Wool
and Cotton Reporter, and without
much fuss have scooped up some very
large lines, aggregating several mil
lion pounds. Reports as to amounts
vary. but, including the Montana and
other woods sold to arrive, it is con-
servatively figured that there must
have been at least 100000 900 pounds
contracted for. They include Mon
tanas, Idahos. Utahs, Nevadas and
some Colorados. Montana sold at 10
@22c, the Idahos sold at 17@1Sc for
choice fine mediums and half blood,
sales being made at lie, 17Ac, 17hc,
and some as high as 1Sc. Some choice
light quarter bloods sold at 23c. For
choice half blood territory. 21c is re.
ported to have been declined. One
line of 100000 pounds of Utah half
blood sold at 47@4Sc, clean. This
wool was of fair staple. All grades
have been traded in from the very
finest selling at 58c, clean, down to a
coarse or low territory. selling at 45c,
clean. Fine medium clothing has
sold at 51@52c; strictly fine. 53@56c;
selected fine staple, 5145Sc. Medi-
UNI wool has sold at a half dollar and
some half bloods even as high as SIC.
Quarter bloods have sold at Asa SOC.
Consumers are more courageous than
they were in buying wool, as they
recognize the strength of the situa.
ton and the fact that there is moth
ing in sight anywhere to indicate any
lower prices for wool, and with the
very small stocks on hand of old wool
and the advancing tendency abroad
many of them have about made up
their minds that now is the time to
buy, while they can get the selections
which they desire. A little more at
t~ention is being given to the extreme.
ly fine woods, and sales of fine Neva-
da are reported to cost about sec,
clean. Arizona woods have also figur'
ed to some extent in the business of
the week, and included in the sales
were 100000 pounds of choice wool

concluded that the gentleman in cor
duroys had been driven west under the
spur of conscience.
Possibly his absence had left an UNI
profitable void in some eastern bank,
or other financial institution.
The coming of Darrell caused gem
eral attention to withdraw itself from
the tenderfoot and focus upon him.
Yet, although his superiority was man
ifest, every man in the room knew that
the second stranger was not a raw
recruit in the ranks Of the frontier.
Finishing his meal under a running
fire of half yelled sneers and covert
jests, Darrell calmly rose and went out.

Withdrawing his attention from Mex
lean bag who, for four bits, was read
ing an old deck Of cards for a pros

best go TO strike paying lead.
Darrell nodded as he settled his bill.
"Mebby you'd like to help out a
fellow human who's down on his
luck?' proceeded the proprietor tenta-

thing but deeper and more consuming

He was at the youths back in time

gave startled cry and turned on him.

Follow me and you will find out.

question. Have your promise?"
Yes; but should like"
: Here's your revolver. I'd throw it
away, If I were you"
Darrell pushed the weapon into the
young mans hand, turned sharply and
retraced his steps to Hawkbilrs. The
two gamblers were still at table.
What Darrell purposed doing called
for skill and courage. Both qualities
were his and he sought the issue with
that airy confidence to which others
had often attributed his success.
1t was by meddling in a somewhat
similar way that he had earned the
hatred of Murgatroyd. Yet that had
not cured him of the dangerous habit.
He had observed the gamblers care
fully. One was past middle age and
had iron gray hair and beard; the
other was but little older than the
man they had victimized.

CHAPTER III.

BARRELS GAME AT HAWKBILL's.
Properly equipped with a stony dis
regard for human greed and frailty,
any observer could have loitered in
Hawkbilfs on and after ten p. m. and
been certain of exciting entertainment.
A philosopher of another school might
have seen more than enough to point
moral and adorn tale and perhaps
have retreated with a discouraged
sense of mans inhumanity to man.
Darrell could be indifferent and hard,
or sympathetic and yielding. Deep in
his heart was ever feeling that
stirred at another's misfortune and his
moods varied with the characters of the
players as well as with the play.
He stood close to table, facing the
door and dividing his attention be-
tween the fall of the cards and the
men who entered. An old, old game
Familiarity known as two pluck one"
was in progress, wherein a pair of
merciless campaigners were taking
money from a beardless and rash youth
who sat between them.
AHCdlAAS, Ou tuO part VI lu6 Sdlu-
blers, was constant and fragrant. But
the boy had eyes for only his own
cards and was playing with absorbed
and tremuious intensity.
They'll have headlines on me in
the eastern papers," he recklessly
averred, unless make big winning
tonight"
There's no telling when the luck
II turn" answered one Of the gam
blers ins,nuatingly. shifting a cut"
with lightning quickness. 'It'l all
chance. you know, Up to now Two
won, but from this out 1t may be your
turn"
The youth clenched his teeth and
whitened, for he had a losers grudge
against a winners assumed superior
ity. He wagered the last of his money
Ia dozen crisp bills marked with q
&c" in one corner.
He lost. Rising from the table with
the quiet remark, I'm done, gentle
men," he walked steadily out into the
darkness, far beyond the glare OF the
red lamps.
1t was the old story Of the moth and
the flame. Darrell knew 1t well. but

"OJalai" she mumbled; "you may be
honest, but you cannot be honorable
and follow the cards. Beware Of three
knayes and two red seyens, senor.'
"Why?"
When you hold that hand you never
leave the table alive!"
"Gracias, sonora" he said, a fine
scorn lurking In the words; ''the flu
ture is riddle and a riddle you have
read me, AS for the jacks full on red
seyens, IL is a good hand in any game
and I shall be glad to receive it.
AdIosi"
Thereupon he left the office and or
dered the hostler to bring his team.
