The story Is of the adventures of three
children on country roads and fascinating
waterways. over which the airship Dragon
ny drifts and sails. The children-with
their grown-up appendages-and the air
ship together, manage to hasten the ways
OF justice. and act as lfe-savers and

conducted Juvenile literature. The detec-

In rather a more appealing form than is

The two boys who figure In the story are
carefully individualized. and Barbara. their
girl chum, has all the embryo feminine
virtues and some manly ones that make
her the pearl OF companions for both

their parts sympathetically The only
morbid note in the book ia the use OF the
old device of the misunderstood and ne
elected child. Mr. Hopkins successful and

Relief Needed Urgently But is Ex-
 peoted.
 New York, Sept. 4.-With call money up to 30 per cent. the stock market in the last half hour sold off rapidly all around. Many stop orders were caught on the decline, and at the close prices in most positions were about the low est, with the tone heavy and the trad ing element divided as to immediate future.
 One thing seems certain-that unless relief comes, either through gold i'm portations or United States treasury op- erations lower prices are inevitable. We still believe, however, that some- thing will be done to relieve the strin- gency, and therefore incline to consery' atiye purchases on distinctly weak spots.
 The last loan was at 30 per cent, an( stock loans were renewed for to-mor row at r per cent.

 and New London Had Day Off,
 Contests in National and American
 Leagues.
 By defeating Hartford at the Savin Rock grounds yesterday afternoon, and Springfield being vanquished by Bridge port, New Haven jumped into second place in the league race for the flag. Phil Corcoran pitched one of the best games of his career, allowing the visit ors but five hits in as many innings and not giving a solitary pass. While Bron- lzie was found for hit in every inning but one, the two runs scored by the Blues were the result of misplays on the part of the Senators, Skelly and Bronkie being responsible for the tal- lies. Connell scored both runs for his side-in the first inning on his hit and Wade's and an error by Bronkie, ant in the seventh on his second safety an6 rank error by Skelly. Hartford was never in danger, hit generally coming after two were down, After two were out in the ninth OLeary cracked out 1 -bagger, but that was as far as h' got. Moffett batted and fielded wei for the visitors, while the New Hayel team as a whole played championship ball. The Blues play in Hartford thi afternoon.
