All Seemed to Be Sellers.

At first 1t seemed that all were sellers,
and that no one was left to buS As the
shriel1ing men surged around the trading
posts. the bull arguments on which ad-
vances were based were all forgotten,
and brokers sought only to get rid of the
stocks they held. The scene was observed
by a throng of visitors in the gallery.
First to give way In the hurly- -burly was
Amalgamated copper, against which
campaign by newspaper advertisement
has recently been conducted. Dropping
sometimes a point at time, 1t fell until it
sold at 5s1a, decline of ten points since
last nights close and points from the
highest of Tuesday.
The twenty-five points recession repre-
sented decrease In the market value of
the company's total capital stock of more
than thirty millions of dollars.
Next to Amalgamated Copper the leader
in the excitement was United States Steel
corporation stock, the common falling to

declines of SIS points and "a points re-
spectively, and declines of ga points for

Generalization Was Complete.

Values throughout the entire list were
cut down with great rapidity, weakly
margned accounts were wiped out, and
for nearly two hours the Generalization
was complete. During this period the
transactions amounted to about 100000
shares.
The frightened throwing over of stocks
almost without regard to price, was
checked about noon, and there followed
a period of irregularity. Heavy buying
orders appeared, quotations started up
ward, and before IL o'clock many of the
active stocks had regained considerable
of their losses. The tone of the trading
remained feverish, but the rally was we'll
held, and the close was, comparatively
speaking, severely quiet. The total sales
of all stocks today were 1905, 400 shares.
Many causes for the days selling were
suggested but the general opinion SEEM
ed to be that the bull market had brought
in many buyers on small margins, and
when the signs of an impending break
was seen yesterday. these holders were
forced to sell out their speculative pur-
chases at whatever prices were obtainable.

CHAPTER x1.

TlHE young fellow stayed three
weeks and was constant Joy
to Thorpe. Thorpe liked the
~ boy because he was open heart
ed, free from affectation, assumptive
Of no superiority-in short, because he
was direct and sincere. Wallace, on
his part, adored in Thorpe the free.
open air life, the adventurous quality,
the quiet, hidden power, the resource
fulness and the self sufaciency Of the
pioneer. He did anything at all. He
accepted Thorpe for what he thought
him to be rather than for what he
might think him to be.
Little by little the eager questions
Of the youth extracted full statement
Of the situation. He learned Of the
timber thieves up the river, Of their
present operations and their probable
plans, Of the valuable pine lying still
unclaimed. Of Thorpe's stealthy raid
into the enemy's country.
"Why. it's great! It's better than any
book ever read!'
He wanted to know what he could do
TO help.
Nothing except keep quiet" replied
Thorpe. "You mustn't try to act any
different. II the men from up river
come by. be just as cordial to them as
you can and don't act mysterious and
important"
"All right" agreed Wallace, bubbling
With excitement "And then what do
you do-after you get the timber esti-
matedT'
t'I'll 60 south and try, quietly, to
raise some money. That will be diff
cult because, you see, people don't know
me, and I am not in position to let
them look over the timber. OF course
it will be merely a question of my
judgment. They can 60 themselves to
the land Office and pay their money.
There won't be any chance of my max
ing way with that. The investors will
become possessed of certain 'descrip
tons lying in this country, all right
enough. The rub is. Will they have
enough confidence in me and my judg-
ment to believe the timber to be what
I represent it?"
II see," commented Wallace, sudden
~ grave.
Harry" said he that evening. with
crisp decision new to his voice, will
you take little walk with me down
by the dam? I want to talk with
you"
They strolled to the edge Of the bank
and stood for moment looking at the
swirling waters.
II want you to tell me all about log
ging," began Wallace. "Start from the
beginning. Suppose, for instance-what
would be your first move?"
They sat side by side on log. and
Thorpe explained. The excitement of
war was in it, When he had finished,
Wallace drew deep breath.
"When am home," said he simply,
II live in big house on the Lake
Shore drive. It is heated by steam and
lighted by electricity. I touch a but
ton or turn screw and at once I am
lighted and warmed. At certain hours

tens1ve clearing dotted with the black
ened stumps Of pines. Athwart the dis
tance he could perceive the wide blue
horizon of Lake Michigan. He had
crossed the upper peninsula on foot.
"Boat come by today" said Injun
Charley, indicating the tall stacks Of a
mill. "Him no stop. You max him stop
take you with him. You get train Mack
inaw City tonight. Dose men. dey on
dat train.'
Thorpe calculated rapidly. The en-
emy would require even with their
teams day to cover the thirty miles to
the fishing village Of Munising, whence
the stage ran each morning to Seney,
the present terminal Of the South
Shore railroad. He, Thorpe, on foot and
three hours behind, could never have
caught the stage. But from Seney only
one train day was dispatched to con-
meet at Mackinaw City with the Michi-
gan Central, and on that one train, due
to leave this very morning, the up river
man was just about pulling out. He
would arrive at Mackinaw City at 4
o'clock in the afternoon. where he
would be forced to wait until in the
evening. BY catching a boat at the
mill to which 1njun Charley had led
him Thorpe could still make the same
train. Thus the start in the race for
Detroit'sland Office would be fair.
"All right" he cried. all his energy
returning to him. Here goes! Well

"You come back ~ inquired the 1ndi.
an, peering with a certain anxiety into
his companions eyes.
"Come back!" cried Thorpe. "You bet
your hatv
Il wait" replied the Indian, and was
gone.
Thorpe saw over the headland to the
east dense trail Of black smoke. He
set off on a stumbling run toward the
mill.

I'd like first rate to kill deer"
"Sure." said Thorpe. "Glad to have
you"
"My name is Wallace Carpenter =
said the boy, with a sudden unmistak'
able air Of good breeding.
"Well," laughed Thorpe, two old
woods loafers like us haven't got much
use for names. Charley here is called
Geezigut. and mines nearly as bad, but
I guess plain Charley and Harry will
do"

'Weel," replied the engineer, with
fearful deliberation. II Gamma say. But
I hae received ma orders to that effect"
''Can't you whistle her in for me?"
asked Thorpe.
81 canna," answered the engineer,
promptly enough this time.
"Why notT'
''Ye're ma what a body might call

"Na."
Thorpe was seized with an idea.
"Herey he cried. "See that bowlder
over there? I want to ship that to
Mackinaw City by freight on this
boat"
The Scotchman's eyes twinkled ap
preciatively.
"I'm dootin' ye hae tn freight bill
from the Office" he objected simply.
"See here" replied Thorpe, 1--WE got
to get that boat. It's worth $40 to me,
and I'll square it with the captain.
There's your twenty"
The Scotchman deliberated, looking
aslant at the ground and thoughtully
oiling cylinder with greasy rag.
"It III na be a matter Of life and
death?" he asked hopefully. "She aye
stops for life and DEATH"
"No," replied Thorpe reluctantly.
Then, with an explosion: Eyes, by
heaven, it is! II I don't make that

to the chair. The daughters have been providing for Captain Thompson the in- digent confederate soldier whom they took from the poor house a few weeks ago. As there are so many applications to the old soldiers home that have not as yet been acted upon, Captain Thompson has little hope of being admitted to the home at present. The daughters intend to pro vide home for him until he can be sent to his comrades at the soldiers home and a committee was appointed yesterday to manage this matter. The chapter made donation to the confederate monument to be erected by the Huntsville chapter. Pelham chapter sent telegram of sympathy to Mrs. Gordon on Monday.
