TheMarket Closed Strong
 and Unsatisfied.
Domination Was So Great That 1t Interfered With Business--Buying Orders Game From All Over the
 Country.

. Chicago May 13--In the most sensational opening in the history of the Chicago Board of Trade, wheat today shot past the dollar mark.
 Heavy realizing sales pushed the market backward somewhat but at the close the market was strong and according to the majority of speculators on the board the been made is still unsatisfied. The net ,ad- vance today for wheat was four cents for the July and September options and 4% for the December. From the low point of Monday of last week, July wheat advanced 1s&c September has gone up 15%c and in the December option the high point was 16Ac above tho low price of last Monday,
 It was Q certainty that strong bulge would take place in the wheat market at the opening. Country orders had been poured in seemingly in an endless stream and in obedience to them brokers stood ready to buy millions of bushels at the mar ket prices. Shorts were in highly nerv- ous condition and were eager to cover. The result that soon as the gong sound ed there was terrific roar Of voices. all anxious to buy and nobody offering to sell.
 The trade too big and too broad to be followed with any certainty and brokers from the point at which they had hoped to buy. The confusion was so great that for a few minutes but little actual business was transacted. the brokers fighting and struggling in the effort to get hold of wheat from anybody at any price.
 The July option sold off as soon as figures  anywhere between 93c and 94c. feptember opened at 95c to 99c, which was up 1Ssc c to sac above the closing price of last week December showed a wider range than either of the other options and the opening quo tations ran at all figures between 96hc and s1 03. This prices was 1hc to Sc above the final quotations of Saturday.
 The rush of buying orders seemed to come from almost every city in the United States which was situated along telegraph wire. They came from Winnipeg and from Louisiana and from points on the Pacific and Atlantic seaboards The professional traders were of the opinion that the opening was little too vigorous and the chance to seize profits on lines of long wheat carried fore, as trade steadied little, millions of bushels were thrown on the market in real izins sales and the advance for time was checked. The buying orders however atIil poured in and the market scared up again. Again the long wheat came out and brought about reaction and again the country buyers forced 1t upJ The situation was too strong for any man br any clique of men to stem. The country at large seem ed determined to buy wheat at whatever price 1t could be had.
 There was no claims in any direction that the market was being manipulated. The general opinion seemed to be that the ad- vance was based on natural conditions which are certain to curtail in large degrees tho worlds coming crop of wheat.
 The advices from all parts of the west and northwest confirmed the previous re- ports of damage by weather and " insects.

COTTON.

New York, May 13.--Mr. James Pat ten, of Chicago, probably the most sue cessful operator ln the commodity mar kets of America, has today jocularly an nounced that he will not shave. until wheat is Sl. 90 bushel end cotton sells at l4c d pound.
 While the announcement has created more or less amusement it has attract ed wide attention, because, of all the Chicago operators, MT. Patten Is most conspicuouSly known tO be man WhO means what he says. The truth Is, the American speculative public l5 Just commencing to appreciate two facts:
 Flrst--That the exceptionally unpro- pitious weather of the spring has made ihe production of large cotton or cereal crops next year an impossibillty
 Second- That the increasing gold pro duction is creating q period ol pfact- cal imitation. EXpre. ed in units oI la Dor, the cost of producing gold IS to- day probably one-half of what It was twenty years ago. ENpre-Seu m ui4Ils of labor the cost of agrlc uitural pro duction is much higher than 1t was twenty years ago. It follows. indublt- ably that the value or aBricultural pro duets as expressed in terms ot gold must advance. The mining camp, where flour sells at $40 a barrel because gold is in abundant supply and flour difficult to obtain, is bu. microcosm of an international situation that will presently be universally recognized So far as cotton Is concerned, 1t seems to me that the advance has only Just com menccd. The visible supply of Ameri- ran cotton at the end of the present season will probably be less than the worlds requirements for month. The crop is fully three weeks te and the present crop will have to supply thr- teen months consumption.
 It is now a demonstrable fact that nothing less than an American crop of l2. 800 0OO bales will prevent a situation graduated from scarcity to famine in the degree by which the next crop falls to reach this figure. Good Judges in ths South--and men whose opinions are sane--uave confidently expressed them selves to me as believing that next years crop cannot possibly he 12oo0. 00O bales Personally I do mott believe Mir. Patten will have to walt very long be- fore he can take a good. clean shave.

There are good investments as we will all admit Some men never fail to pick the good ones. They find them habitually., It isn't accident It isn't luck. They hit it so regularly you may be sure they have some system This is how they do it:
 By rejecting the bad ones. That's all.
 There are good ones. All you have to do Is to turn down the other kind.
 Don't invest where you know nothing Of the business and only hope you will win. That's gambling

 Don't try forlorn hopes.
 Don't venture in defiance of reason.

1ese were the troopers for whom the
commanding officer had asked. With
them came Squaw Charley, quaking in
his feathers, fiinching at every look.

The examination was short. The sen

roboration. From sunup till taps, of

he had watched outside the lodge. occu-

Captain Oliver crossed to the bend
to tell Dallas his results. Matthews

Undoubtedly he had no active part in

"He knows about it, though" she
answered.
THAT would be hard to prove"
Before he went the captain proposed
| certain defensive improvements for the
| shack. She accepted them gratefully.
Later a carpenter nailed thick cleats
across the warped door, and the post
blacksmith put heavy lashes of iron
| over the eyes of the shack
! At nightfall detachment landed on

scout in opposite directions. 1t was

Matthews gave his promise.
During the first few days that fol-
lowed Marylyn's heart beat pendulum
like between grief and dread. 1t was
| grief when in a moment of forgetful-
ness she found that she had set the ia

sweet impartiality, she mourned him

tachment came back from its scouting
she felt a terrible dread-dread lest
the hunt had been successful and the
troopers should ride across the prairie
to the shack door bearing something
solemnly home.
Those first days past. however, tbs
sharp edge of her sorrow, together
with her fears, wore gradually away
She had the elastic spirit Of eighteen
and she was impatient of this new
heartache, which possessed none of the

ted her sorely that in the daytime she
WAS not permitted to go as far as the
grove.
That restriction was the only hard
shin that the elder girl allowed the

mudhole; another. that he had been
bitten 10y Il polecat; a third composed
some doggerel lines in which Lancaster
WAS described as having gone over
the range" Notwithstanding this the
troopers had deep sympathy for the be-
reayed girls.
Oliver, never too popular, they scored
roundly for his treatment of Matthews
and vowed to the latter that he had
ample grounds for walking off and
leaving the whole shooting match, but
Matthews gently chided them, remind
ing them that any moment an inter-
prefer might be badly needed. Fur
thermore, he said, he. would disregard
the unfairness shown him. for he knew
his duty
Brannon was still asking who and
why and how in the Lancaster affair
when Squaw Charley discovered and
showed to Captain Oliver the testi-
mony that had in some way escaped
the scout Under a willow clun:p on
the beach before Shanty Town was a
well defined mark in the sand, V shap-
ed, long and quite deep. 1t was the
mark left by the Prov of boat that
had been pulled out of the water and
hidden at the rivers edge. 1t was al
most certain proof of the route taken,
going and coming, by Lancaster's as
Sailant.
But no absolute facts were unearth-
ed. As the days slipped by this cruel
one became apparent-the section boss,
with his wild outbursts of anger, his
implacable hatreds, his suspicious and
his tantrums of jealousy. was gone.
