STOCKS REALLY FIRM
VOLUME OF BUSINESS Is UNIM-
PoRTANT, AS USUAL
Confidence in the Prospect for Values Is.
Prcnounced-Mar<et is Helped by an
Advance In Steel Preferred

NEW YORK. June 20.-An unimportant
volume of business was done in the stock
market today. but the tone was plainly
firm and confidence over the prospect for
values was thereby fostered News hear
ing upon values was slight, but in the
absence of threatening developments and
with protection afforded to Southern Pa
c1flc there was no urgent pressure to
sell. Bankers usually intrusted with
financial operations for the company were
large buyers of Southern Pacific and the
shares for London account, We're readily
absorbed. The circular issued by the
president to stockholders in explanation
of the proposed preferred stock issue
seemed to make a favorable impression
upon sentiment and was followed by the
rise in the stock to 1876. This was a
sensible, relief to the general market.
where the effect Of decline in Southern
Pacific had beer dreaded.
The possible unsettling effect of the
sharp drop in Metropolitan Street Rail-
way also seemed neutralized by the
strength in Manhattan and in Brooklyn
Transit, the latter on reports of the mar
keting of additional bonds by the com
pany. The movements in metropolitan
Sumed results to the business of the two
systems of the coming opening of the
subway system. There were also rumors
of further bond issues by the Metropol-
itan company. An advance in United
States Steel preferred was helpful to the
market at large and was connected with
an agreement on wage schedules with
portion OF its employees and reports of a
decision to maintain prices for steel rails.
AS to Railway Earnings
Weekly estimates by railroad officials
over traffic were little changed from the
recently prevailing tenor but they showed
conditions no worse Good earnings for
the second week of June coming to hand
make better comparisons with last years
figures than for some time past Mis-
souri, Pacific's report for April, showing
net earnings of less, than half those for
April last year, did not affect the firm
ness of that stock. Confidence in the
condition of crops was unimpaired, al
though there was some complaint of rains
in the harvest region. which made itself
felt in the wheat market.
With no fears for the favorable prog
reSs of the crops and with the eXtraOrdi
nary strength of the banking position
shown by Saturdays bank statement,
there is opportunity to await the progress
Of events. with hopes for a favorable out
come. Cash reserves, and especially gold
vious record. The satisfaction over this
showing has it's reservations, as to it's
index of Idle trade conditions and as to
the responsibility for high interest rates
on deposits paid by the New York banks
in effecting the result but it insures free
market from the necessity of realizing
ready cash. None of the best prices of
the day were maintained. The market be-
came lifeleSS at the slight reaction and

will be no chance or their getting us
mixed with the attacking force
There was as yet no sign of Co
manche Jake and his men; but, as
Juana had said, they would be likely
to stay with the meScai until the last
minute. Gerald and his men rode
slowly up the trail to a point about
three miles beyond the run. Then
they drew rein and waited until they
heard the roll of wheels and the thud
Of horses feet as the stage clattered
down the trail. There were two guards
on the outside with their rifles cooked
across their knees. Gerald rode out
and, as he raised his hand, a bullet
whistled by his head. Don't fire;
there's trouble ahead of you" and the
driver pulled up sharply. a few words
explained the situation. One Of the
guards went to the door and talked
with some one inside; then the word
was given to move on. Gerald and
his men rode just behind, their Win
chesters ready.
Seemingly the road was clear. Ger
aid almost doubted II Juana had told
the truth. But suddenly the shadows
were alive with men that sprang at
the brides of the leaders. cutting the
traces; from all sides the hooting, yell

like wasps. There were more of them
than Juana had said, and as Gerald
plunged into the thick Of ii he made
straight for Caracas Johnny, 1t was
too close work for the rihes-a hand
to hand duel with the terrible knives.
Short, swift, indescribably brutal. a
bare five minutes and 1t was over; but
one of Gerald's best men would ride
no more, and Gerald himself was
bleeding profusely from an ugly cut
between the ribs, where the bowie of
Caracas Johnny had searched for his
heart. Thanks to the mescal, Johnny's
aim was bad, and Johnny would spend
many days at Santa Fe in consequence
thereof.
Comanche Jake lay beneath his pony,
q lifeless heap from which Juana had
nothing to fear. But the guards were
all hacked to death where they had
fought to protect their treasure bags.
Gerald leaned against the black pony,
faint from loss of blood, but fighting

| Mexicans that did not get away were
safely bound.
With the last knot tied, the dead and
wounded were to be disposed Of. 1t
was gray dawn when at last the stage
was ready to go on to Anguilla.
Gerald had fancied that d smothered
scream came from the stage when the
fighting began. Since then It had been
quiet inside, but as he tried to mount
the pony he was not surprised to hear
q woman's voice. She came toward
him through the gray light, tall

when he turned, and the light fell full
upon his face. He heard her catch her
breath, like a stifed ~sob-"Jack! Jack

the old driver and the Mexicans, she fell
to crying in his outstretched arms for
very gladness, while he, with the dead
men at their feet and the wounded
moaning In the shadow of the trees,
Jack Gerald. bowed his head and
thanked the God of his childhood that
had sent him to the rescue of the An

How Mr.. Frog. wit saved Him.


One day a jolly old pelican was
walking on the shore of a pond when
be came across Mr.. Bullfrog. ."Hello,''
said he, you're just the fellow | was
looking for. My stomach reminds me
that II is about dinner time. and there
is no one that / should rather have
present at my meals than you, sir"
And he chuckled TO himself.
"You don't intend to eat me, do
your asked the frog a~nxiously.
"Well, that was the calculation I
was figuring on" replied the pelican.
"But I'm green" said the frog.
.Gcoa Joke" laughed the pelican.
'but l feel sure you're ripe" And, put
ting his long neck down quickly, Mr..
Pelican scooped up Mr.. Frog.
AS he reached the ~pelican's great
pouch the frog cried out, "oh, Mr.. Pei
lean. let me ask you a riddle"
go on" said he.
"Why are you like a cough drop?'
asked the frog.
"Give it up to save time" said the
pelican.
Because you've got a frog in your
throat" answered the frog.
That was more than Mr.. Pelican
could stand. He opened his mouth and
laughed enough to kill himself.
Mr.. Builfrog, seeing the chance he
wanted, made good his escape.

Edward Doolittle, the we'll known painter and contractor was the vic tim of horse theft yesterday after noon. MT Doolittle left his horse hitched in the shed back of St Johns church while he was at work at the residence of Mrs Dunnigan. When he returned after it he found that some one had taken it. MT Doolit- tie made inquiries in the neighbor- hood but no clue could be obtained to identify the culprit. The tracks made in the road showed that who ever he is he probably took the road leading toward Woodbury.
