In the Foreign Legion

LOriginall
The French Foreign legion is COM
posed Of men who have a past they
wish to bury. In 1t are noble1nen--
some Of royal blood either under sus.
pleion OF having committed or Of hay
ing been convicted of crime
In the legion were two men, Captain
Barxikoft, Russian, and Lieutenant
TrayiteE, a Spaniard. Barzlkoff was
vigorous man Of thirty Travitez
slender young fellow, with large soft
brown eyes, who might have been
twenty or twenty-five Between these
two men existed a friendship that
amounted to affection.
One day Bargikofr proposed to Travi-
tez that they should exchange conf
dences. each telling the other what
had induced him to Join tho legion
What avail1 we would not believe
each other said Travitez
x would believe you replied Barzl-
kofr. "To prove my confidence | will
place my life in your hands. You re-
member the attempt to kill the czar OF
Russia a few years ago, the one in
which so raany revolutionists were Inn
piIeated. Well, was convicted Of be-
Ing accessory to that Attempted assas-
sination.
"A friend bribed my jailer, who
permitted me to escape not six hours
before / was to have been executed.
Thore. you see how ! trust you. You
have only to write the Russian police
that am here. and | shall so to Rus
sia to die. Besides, you will receive a
large reward"
TTavitcxs face broke into happy
smile. the first Barzllxotf had ever seen
there, both at the evidence Of such Inn
pllcit confidence and the knowledge
that his friend was innocent OF any
crime, but the next moment he remein-
bered that his own confession was in
order, and the smile gave place to an
expression OF anguish Barzikofi no
ticed II and sighed.
what was your trouble, boy" he
asked kindly, cheating, forgery, muir
derf"
Travltez walked away without reply,
bis friend looking after him gloomily,
Surely suca confidence as BarzlkoR had
given woa1l have drawn like conf
dcnce had not the young man been
guilty.
Then came the war, and the Foreign
legion was sent TO the frontier.
One day 1t was ordered to assault
a knoll capped by rcdoubt. II
marched up the hill gayly, as though
each man was glad at the prospect OF
being relieved Of bis burden Of life, tc
meet the storm which broke In his
face. Flushing steadily on, all thai
was left OF It. 1t planted its ban
ner on the wall Of the redoubt Bar
Elkoff. who was uniniured, as soon as
the feht was over looked about FOL
Travitez. He found his friend lyinl
unconscious, the blood flowing from
wound In bis chest. Barzlkoff stanchet
the wound with his own handkerchief
: chen carried the wounded Trayltez e
place OF snfety.
Travltez recovered. but noticed tina

at the rate OF Is to 10 cents q dozen.
In order to come out whole they have
got to dispose Of them at the rate OF
81 or % cents dozen They had had
two Highly successful speculative sea-
sons, and they had bid up the price too
high.
Competitive bidding among the deal
ers has resulted in increasing the supply
Of eggs to almost double what it was
two years ago. If the storage men had
put in the eggs last year at the rate Of
12 on ID cents a dozen they would have
come out whole. AS it is the farmers
made big profits and the storage men
and spectators will suffer the losses.
There would probably have been no
trouble in disposing Of the storage eggs
during the winter ii many of the retail
ers had not tried TO sell them at the
fresh egg rate, about IS cents a dozen.
That checked the demand.
@There is a ertain class in New York
/ that consumes q fixed amount Of eggs,
no matter what tile price is. But the
poor people do not buy eggs to any ex-
tent unless they aTa cheap.
/ IF the retailers had put the price Of
storage eggs down to "a or rs cents 2
dozen, instead of trying to sell them al
I the fresh egg rate, the condition OF the
market would not be so unsatisfactory
as il is today
II estimate that $4,000 cases of eggs
have arrived in this city during the past
six days One demoralizing feature, o.
the situation is that the farmers are
mixing storage eggs with the fresh eggs
/ Storage eggs are perfectly good anr
heathful. but there il considerable
shrinkage ia their contents after they
have been kept any length Of time"

Hens Cause Heavy Losses to
Cold Storage Men
SURPLUS ABOUT 2l,6OO,OOO
The Mild Weather Is Responsible for
the Tremendous overproduction
whieh Has Ruined
Prices.
SURPLUS ABOUT 100000

New York, Feb. 24.--The phenomenal
mild and open winter which has kept
the hens Industrious, has smashed the
egg market, and the cold storage men
and wholesale dealers are facing losses
amounting into the millions.
In New York City there is today a
surplus Of Geld storage eggs estimated
at 10000 cases of q COO, 900 eggs. There
is, besides, q surplus OF fresh laid eggs
Of unknown quantity. Eggs arc almost
dirt cheap. Storage eggs ere selling at
from 8 to 10 cents dozen wholesale,
while fresh laid eggs sell at IA cents on
u little more a dozen at Wholesale.
These conditions are not confined TO
New York and vicinity. According 20
well.informcd prudue men they obtain
over the whole country.
Dealers say il Is ton years since they
have seen such market as the present
one. The market of 1900 was somewhat
similar. but there was 10 such surplus
Of storge aud fresh eggs as there is
at present
The millions Of storage eggs now on
the market must BIO eaten soon or they
win so to waste They win not keep
many weeks longer Eggs are put in
cold storage in March and April, md
they will keep in good condition for a
year, but not much longer.
When they are more than year old
they begin to acquire tho peculiar flavor
Of sulphuratted hydrogen, and are not
palatable.

According to the dealers the surplus
will be consumed. The poorer classes,
who don't have eggs on their bill Of
fare in times Of scarcity, are eating
them in enormous quantities now, but
still the demand is not equal 70 the
supply
A member Of we'll known and long
established produce house was asked yes
terday what was the surplus Of storage
eggs. !,
Il win give you $500 IL you tell me-"
he said II don't know, but estimate
that there is in New York at present a
surplus of 10000 eases of storage eggs.
Each case contains thirty dozen. Storage
eggs are selling NJ from 6 to 10 cents q
dozen. Last year they were selling at
from % to rs cents. There is also o
surplus OF fresh laid eggs. How large
IL IL | don't know.
"The situation is the same all over

SUCCESS TOWARD \ ARRESTING DECLINE Turned Downward Toward Last
 and Closed Weak WHOLE LIST NOT AZTEC TED Paris Financial Markets Were Report ed to Be In a More Cheerful

 sian Outlook.
WHOLE LIST NOT AZTEC TED

New York, June 1S.-Sonething was eff fected today towards arresting the de- clining tendency of prices of stocks which was steadily gaining force up to the close of last week. The market turned down. ward toward the last however, and closed weak With the early check to the fall. there remained some uncovered short contracts to be covered, and this induced some rally in prices. The strength of the market from this cause was restricted to few of the stocks which have been favorites in the speculation. The demand became exceedingly 1nnguid when the rally had made any headway. and the tone continued hesitating and uncertain. The list as g. whole was not affected at any time by the recovery.
 Paris financial markets were reported to be in more cheerful temper today oyer the Russian outlook, although news of events in that county offered no cloar explanation of this reported better feel ing There was In fact some recurrence of liQ,udatton in London for Paris ac- count during the day

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

The cotton market opened for tho week with an easy undertone At times July displayed pronounced weakness and in one break was sent down to 10.97 or Il points below the level of Saturdays closing
 In comparison the new crops were steady as at their lowest in the early session they were only to points lower than last weeks closing. This steadiness was probably due to the extensive short interest in them while the weakness of July appeared to be due more to the getting out of longs than to the selling of shorts.
 It Is hard to read the July position. Some of the most successful operators be- lieved in a squeeze. while general sen timent Is against a squeeze The net stock of cotton here has now fallen down to almost 4.0O0 bales which favors the bulls.
 It may be that their game is to walt until there Is slight opportunity for ship ments to be hurried to this market and then to put the screws on as they did the year before IS cent cotton was seen. That the bulls can put the market up if they so desire was shown today when with July at 1os7 the bull leaders com menced bidding.

Liverpool options were from to 3 points higher at the close than satur- days close. while some Improvement In the spot situation was noted. Sales to- day 1o,ooo bales. 3 points up. Cables from the far east irdioate a heavy stock of yarns both in Japan and China, and ex- pressed the opinion that exporters were overloaded.
 Some steady selling of July was the feature in today's trading and there is hardly question but that this liquida- ton can be attributed to some of the prominent bulls who have quietly been rldding themselves for the past week of their long interest. In. spite of the fact that the drouth remains unbroken in parts of Texas, the bearish opinions, as we'll some aggressiveness. were large- ly instrumental in forcing prices to lower levels. Further rains have also occurred in the extremely eastern belt. and the few complaints of damage due to the excessive moisture are oefng received from the Carolinas, but With the exception of North Carolina, prospects tomorrow are for clearing weather
