THE WHOLE LIST SHARES IN
 STRENGTH AND ANIMATION.
Marked Pnrtiality Again shown To- ward the Low Priced Stocks, as
 Less Money VIII Be Required to Carry ,lhem.

:. New York. Oct. 21.--The whole stock list shared in the strength and animal tion today but not in equal degree. the same marked partiality being shown revival of speculation. A large major- ity of the widest movement today will be found amongst stocks selling below 90. The preference Is due to the idea carry this class of stocks on margin during the. close conditions in the money market. This represents the spirit of concession to the remaining uncertainties over the money outlook in entering upon the. present attempt based. however. upon the, expectations that the strain in the mdney market has passed and that otheh. conditions may now be looked forwardSto. The to expectations in its strong features. but the recuperation disclosed was ac- cepted in the speculation as ott good promise. The increase in cash os s1,- 197,200 was only about one-third what mates and the current comment on the stock exchange explained this as be- ing due to the larger part of the rel ceipts coming in the latter part of the week and so figuring in the averages of foreign money markets was also easier and stocks were benefited ac- cordingly; In spite of the dull busi- ness of Saturday foreign exchange vance here and the possibility of an early, export of gold received .addi- tional discussion.

A PURITAN ABROAD.
.BY PAUL BLAKE.


Copyright. 1905. by shortstory Pub. Co,) and New England training and rigid busi- ness principles, found himself in New Or leans in miiwinter on mission for his house. He was @ partner Sn the house, al though barely thirty. and his head was con- sidered not less cool nor his judgment less steady and conservative than that of his gray-haired associates.
 As to his character and nabits-but why speak of that? He had been a model youth, as he now was esteemed a model man. By this 1t is not meant to suggest that he was goody-goody. or anything of thot sort. He was a strong, healthy. robust. normal fel- low. who had been born of good stock. with good principles had been well brought up and respected himself and the precepts of his parents. At college he had gone in for athleties. but not for dissipation. When he graduated he took up the serious business of life. and. of course, found reaty oppor- tunity, of which he availed himself to the uttermost. So at thirty he was well estab- lished for life so for as businesswas concern ed, and was well along on the road to be ing a rich man He was not married never having found time to indulge in SO cial pleasures, nor to cultivate the very con- siderable streak of romance which ran through his nature.
 Through no fault of his. the business he had in hand in New Orleans dragged fear fully. and he was detained there much long CT than had been anticipated. But 1t was of sufficient importance to demand his presence. So he found much leisure on his hands and gave more time to sight seeing and pleasure than he had ever done be- fore. He enjoyed especially to get away from haunts of trade and plunge into the old historic section of the city. letting his ina aginatton run riot with the old houses and filling his mind with pictures of what might have happened in bygone days.
 He had almost exhausted the sights. tired of the theatre and other forms of pas time. and was beginning to chafe at his enforced stay, when he overheard con versation one day which put a strange idea into his head. For you know Satan finds mischief still for Idle hands to do.
 He was at the old absinthe place. sip ping a glass of the stuff against which there are so many warnings and wondering how anybody could become addicted to it's habitual use. when two young fellows at the next table started in to discuss fancy dress bal to be given that night. They talked SC loudly that he involuntary listener Without being at all interested he learned that the ball was public. that it was 10 be very gay. and that most people went masked.
 For some reason the conversation finger ed In his mind and kept recurring to him all day.
 why not go?" he thought. "I never saw a fancy dress ball-nor any sort of function participated in by the half-worid. I'm bored to death and would like 10 see something new. 1 can go masked and no body will be the wiser"
 Well. of course, that happened which al ways happens when old Beelzebub gets us to lend an ear for a moment. Livingston temporiseL, hesitated-and fell The fall occurred along in the evening and with

Fttzhueh Lee Forgot One smith.

The late Gen. Fitzhugh Lee used to tell with great gusto an experience he had during his gubernatorial campaign In Virginia against J. S. Wise. says Lippincott's.
 MT Wise made the statement" said the general. that if I had been named Smith, inttead of Lee, l never would have been heard of. I endeav- ored to combat that theory. and in ev- cry speech I made during the campaign would touch upon MT. Wise's state ment, and would then refer briefly to some famous historical figures. in order to show that the name of Smith was not to be despised.
 one day I spoke before large crowd on the court house green in a ru- ral community. and noticed a drunk en man standing right up in the front row of listeners I took up the Smith matter and informed those agricultur- ists what a distinguished family the Smiths had been. As I warmed up to seemed to be worrying that drunken man. and more than once he seemed to be on the verge of interruptinE me
 T reminded the audience that a dis guished Governor of the State had borne the name of Smith, and that many other men, famous men. famous In war and in peace. had borne the de- spised cognomen. Meanwhile. the drunken man watched me with ill-con- cealed anxiety. Finally, he could stand 1t no longer Lifting his hand and balancing himself with inebriated gray- Ity, he blurted out: Shay, Ren'raI don't forgit thash old Smith killed Po- cahontas"

fatal exactness he recollected having seen a costumer's shop with a sign Open Even ings." His feet carried him unerringly to the place and he selected black domino and a maak. Very soon he rolled up to the place at which the ball was held, in cab and in a trice a part of the gay and brilliant throng.
 For an hour 1t made him fairly dizzy The masking of the women seemed to make them more audacious in the display of their charms and Livingston marveled greatly at the ingenuity with which they had con- trived to adopt costumes to suggest to the full the graceful and alluring lines of their figures. Some Of the skirts were high and necks tow to make the mask the most considerable article of ap- parel
 It was all very new and very interesting to the Northern business man. with his strict training and correct life and he was deeply interested. He was leaning against a pillar, watching the kaleidoscopic panora- ma, when a tall and graceful figure. in most Llluring domino of purple silk of the richest texture, paused before him and said:
 why standest thou all the night in moody contemplation. oh. most sombre Knighte"
 Startled. Livingston strengthened him self and gazed at his questioner. Her rav- en hair was caught up with costly jewels, her costume bespoke a generous purse her domino chung about the lines of a figure of singular perfection; her slippeTed feet and daintily gioved hands bespoke the aristo- crat "Still. who knows?" thought Living ston. Summoning his wits, he replied
 "A stranger In strange land, I must be content to gaze from afar upon the promised lanj.'
 There are strangers here tonight" said the woman. "An are comrades and friends. Be not deaths head at the feast. I conjure you"
 With wildly beating heart Livingston took the plunge If. inGeed. none here are strangers. claim you. ComeH'
 He stepped toward and without word and without hesitation she took his proffered arm They walked through the ribald crowd. she clinging close to him. he with his head in a whirl and his heart humping She spoke softly in the very voice of love.

and he, glancing down at her mask. saw the gleam of flashing ey es. and was filled with strange and powerful emotions. They passed door within which were palms and flowers and rustic seats.
 Let us go in and sit down." he said ab- ruptly, and turned back.
 She acquiesced. with a sfivery laugh.
 'I would see your face.' he said. as he handed her to a seat. With the words he tore off his own mask.
 The two gazed searchingly at each other for longer than strict propriety would allow. He saw the most beautiful woman he had ever looked upon, with the white complex ion. the lustrous eyes, the long lashes, the full red lips, the rich coloring and con trasts of the daughter of the South. She saw the strong features, the flashing blue eye, the clear complexion. the blonde hair. of the true Northern gentleman.
 A flush suffused her features. Tn an instant his mind was made, as decisively in any bushes deal He threw discrc- ton to the winds.
 T know not who you are. but would fain have leave to pay you my addrssses-- yea, yet further, 1 who have known you but few moments now and here declare my love. l am no knaye or fool my name is"
 No, no; I refuse to hear it." she said, rising and interrupting him, flor I cannot make my identity known. nor will 1t be of any use follow me. l thank and res- pect you for your ardor and your frankness. know that you are gentleman and knew 1t when l accosted you. I may say that am not unworthy of your avowal in any way. It pleased my fancy to see if could inspire just such an avowal you have made. l have had my emotion, you have had yours. Good-by.'
 And before he could speak or move she had vanished through the door. He pur- sued furiously and arrived at the outer en- trance just in time to see her jump breath lessly into awaiting carriage. well at tended by driver and footman in livery. and be driven rapidly away.
 That was the end of the episode, but many times Charles Livingston sits in his well appointed home, watching his brown-halred wife and tow-headed chtf- dren at work or play. his mind turns back and he muses wonderingly
