him.
Where is Miss Ransome:' asked
the master of the place. Say that
want her at once"
Again. when they entered the draw
! ing DOM, Lord Caraven was ~agrccably
surprised. Whatever else it might be,
it was not n vulgar room; there was
no new gliding, no tawdry coloring; it
WAS all harmony-a filled with
soft roSe-llght and the odor of fragrant
flowers.
He was pleased without knowing
why. The day was warm and sultry;
he was tired. and the fragrance, the
silence, the pleasant Shade of the room
| soothed him. There was a sound of
, footsteps. Mr.. Ransome rose hur-
riedly.
Here is my daughter" he said.
Lord Caraven looked up with some
faint CLEAN of curiosity. He had eI-
pected n vulgar schoolgirl, a pert, af-
fected miss" who would smile and
blush and exercise all the little arts OF
coquetry that she had learned at some
third-rate boarding school,. He was
quite wrong. He saw before him n
tall. slender girl, with beautifully dark
eyes and 4 pale face; a girl graceful
and self-poSsessed, grave and earnest
hot beautiful yet. although there
was the promise of Il magnificent
womanhood. The hands were beauti-
full. but the arms were thin: there was
something too much of the child, with
out sufficient of the grace of the wom-
an.
She IL not vulgar, at least he said
to himself. as the grave, dark eye met
mis- own. Il should really have run
away had she been what my fancy
painted her. Uniformed, shy, inexperi-
enced, half-frightened, what Il wife for
me-what a mistress for Ravcnsmere!
| have no fault to find with her, but l
shall never like her"
So he thought, as in a few brief
words the money lender introduced his
client to his daughter. There was
nothing awkward in her manner, but
she was shy-frightened. h an
SWered the rev questions he aSheu-
her voice was sweet ard clear, with a
true ring about it that he liked-and
then reIapsed into silence.
Her father asked her for a set OF
enrraHfngS. and. as she crossed the
fo6I8, Lord Caraven saw that she had
a oueenIy head. crowned with Il pro-
fusion oil beautiful dark hair; she also
had a pleasant grace OF movement
that for m uniformed school girl was
rare.

Movement of Freight.
A bulletin issued by the Department Ok
Commerce and Labor says that commere
o the, great lakes during Aprii anu us
first four months of 1906 exceeds thal o0
like periodh in any earlier year. fo' '&
month Of April shipments rof an f0aa
on the lakes amounted to 4,3O1'oo0 l'
tons, while for the year to April ~ uey
aggregate 5,41S,4S1. a gain for the HonIa
of 1,275.O42 and for the four months o.
1.59G,656 net tons if compared With cor
responding mvements in 1900.
1t should be noted, however. says tft
bulletin, that the unusually heavy west.
bound movement of coal was probably ID
some degree due to the storing OF vas.
quantities of this commodity at easter
ports prior to the opening or the lakes d
anticipation of a coal strike, while th
general movement of nearly all artlcs
of may have been acceleratedN
the fear of a general strike among steam

be a probability during the entire ronh

ments-which for April, 1906, comprls.
over SO per cent of the total ouf-Douh'

Chicago.

GhiC1rO which add to the strong
sN position of trade generally
are the resumption OF the banks In a
Francisco, this releasing considerable
funds in business channels, and. local
". the sale of the Calumet Electric
railway, and further ease in the money
market.
Aside from the continued strike or
molders and hindrance to foundry op-
erations, industrial conditions reflect q
sustained high volume of production
and new demands. A slight weakness
in prices of pig iron does not Interfere
with furnace activity, the capacity be-
ing drawn upon close to the limit. ADJ
litional heavy orders for rails, wire ana
structural shapes inject more hrnness
in steel branches. No diminutlon IS
seen in the unprecedented expansion OF
new buildings and other construction.

Raw material markets exhibit stGadl-
ness in demand and values, with a
slight advance in copper II TIN plate
The primary foOdstuTs made larger

mainly due to manipulation in the set
Element of May options. The market

this swells the circulation of money
throughout the interior. Warm rains
over the wheat belt and satisfactory
termination OF late sowings make agri-
cultural advices more ~reassurlng. Mer-

Distrlbutive dealings derive benent
from ~seasonable weather. The sales OF
necessaries have advanced to an en-
larged aggegate and this provides I'M
usual activity in both retail and job
bling lines. the latter being frequently

Thrfves Best in Corporations Where
the Ra<eoT Is Rich.
The microbe of graft thriYeS eSpe-
cially in corporations, public and bush
ness, says the Wall Street Journal. A
few are. indeed, imnfane against it,
but these are rare exceptions. Nearly
all are exceedingly susceptible to the
growth OF the IficTote, and oncc let
il obtain a secure Judgment in the
body of the corporation, a loathsome
and eftea deadly disease surely fol-
lows. The best cure is exposure to
the light. There is no certain way,
however, of preventing the disease,
though various methods Of quarantine
have been established against it.
The microbe thrives in any kind of
a corporation. but is most prolific in
those which represent a vast finan-
cial power lodged in the hands of a
few individuals who feel no due sense
of obligation to anybody. The cGrpor-
alton that is controlled by a man who
regards it as my corporation, and
its business as private business, af-
fords most fertile ground for he
spread of graft. When a f%inancier
handling immense sums of other peo-
| pies money gets to the point of re-
girding his trusteeship as q private"
| business it is not long before he be-
| gins to think that their money is my"
| money and then uses it in all sorts Of
| scandalous ways for his personal
| profit.
When a captain Of industry" gets
to the point of regarding the great rail-
road of public utility as a private
business" it does not take long for him
to persuade himself that anything he
may do is right and that the public
or the government representing the
public has no right to interfere in his
AFFAIRS Thus is developed q condi,
ton of egotism that approaches the
vanity of car and kings and of ire
sponsible power that leads naturally
to control of corporate property and
| business for personal profit regardless
Of the interests and the rights of 9th
ers. Great business carried on by cor.
porations whose powers are derived
