Since the world began idle and in
dustrious philosophers have specialized
much upon the thoughts of men about
to die, yet it cannot be too ingenious
to believe that such thoughts vary as
the men, their characters and condi-
tons Of life vary. Nevertheless, pur-
suant with the traditions of minstrelsy
and romance. 1t Is conceivable that
young unmarried men called upon to
face desperate situations might, at the
crucial moment, rush to common ex-
perience of summoning the vision, each
of his hearts desire, and to meet, each
his doom, with her name upon his lips.
An extraordinary thing occurred in
the present instance, for, by means of
some fragmentary remarks let fall at
the time and afterward recalled, such
as Tappingham Marsh's gasping, "At
least it will be on her fathers roofw
and from other things later overheard,
an inevitable deduction has been
reached that four Of the FIVE gentlemen
in the perilous case herein described
were occupied with the vision Of the
same person, to wit. Miss Elizabeth
Carewe, "the last, the prettiest, to come
TO town."
Crailey Gray, alone, spoke not at all,
but why did he strain and strain his
eyes toward that empty pedestal with
the grotesque carvings? Did he seek
Fanchon there. or was Miss Carewe
the last sweet apparition in the fancies
Of all FIVE of the unhappy young men?
The coincidence Of the actual appear
ance Of the lady among them therefore
seemed the more miraculous when,
wan and hopeless, staggering desper-
ately backward to the gable ridge, they
heard clear contralto voice behind
them:
Hadn't you better all come down
now?'' it said. 1.-THE stairway will be
on fire before long"
Only one thing could have been more
shockingly unexpected to the five than
that there should be sixth person on
the roof, and this was that the sixth
person should be Miss Betty Carewe.
They turned, aghast, agape, chop
fallen with astonishment, stunned and
incredulous.

NEW YORK STOCKS And BONDS
Heavy Buying by Uncovered Shorts Sends
Prices Upward.
COPPER LEADS ADVANCE
Market IL BuOyaut All Day and Net
Gains Are from Two TO Ten
Points on Prominent
Issues.

NEW YORK, May 4-The movement of
prices of stocks turned definitely against
the shorts today and a lively demand
developed from uncovered bears to secure
stocks. The rate of recovery was closely
apportioned to that Of the previous de
cline, the severest sufferers in the slump
rising most buoyantly in the recovery.
The day started with a further attemp.
on the part of bears to force a further
decline, the attack centering on Amalga-
mated Copper in continuation Of its clos
ing weakness yesterday. Very light sell
ing was forced out by this drive and the
bears began systematic movement to
cover shorts.
The upward movement gained force
after the appearance OF the presidents

There was an occasional halt in the adj
vance, but notable reaction after the

flooded the market in the middle OF the
a pretty steady advance in prices CON
tinually to secure their needed supplies
Of stocks, Trading was another con-
to the heavy bear attack upon IL after
the principal liquidation of the general
auent scarcity of real selling to meet the
demand OF the bears. No definite news
was received from the miners convention,
but the action of Reading was taken to
indicate that the prospect of the strike
had been over-discounted in the trading.
The preliminary estimates of the show
ing of tomorrow's bank statement are
involved, but the tone OF the call money
was easy and the impression was strong
that the condition of the banks was inn
proved.
There is no question OF the enormous
liquidation of the week in the stock mar
ket which must have been accompanied
by the paying off of loans, but how far
the requirements of the new credits which
fern the motive for calling loans may
have been an Offset in the weeks change
