Il have heard many stories of the In

of two horses the other day equaled If

pair were fine looking beasts attached
to a farmers wagon and had been left
outside a feed store on Kensington

several bales of hay. BY some clever
maneuverlng the white horse, which
was nearest the pavement, managed
to get hold Of some of the hay. His
brown mate. not getting any of the
hay. with almost human actions made
the white horse understand that he
wished to share the feast. To satisfy
his mate the white horse took larger
mouthfuls Of the hay and turned his
head in way so that the brown horse
could enjoy the feast. By the time
their owner reached Them nearly half

Keene Following Had Upper

Prices Down

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The stock
market showed a little uneasiness at
the opening this morning. Prices
were mixed, some a little lower and
others higher.
Canadian Pacific steadied the mar
ket temporarily by advancing l point.
Prices advanced a little all around, but
the market was very nervous. Pro-
fessionals, headed by the Keene fol-
lowing, had the market in hand and
started bear campaign and were sue
cessful in lowering prices on account
of the market having very little sup
port.
The whole list went down l to 3
points. The market had a few little
rallies at intervals. but of no conse-
fquence. The closing was weak and at
nearly the lowest prices of the day.
Money on call was pretty stiff, the

There was little in the way of slim

help her. But, oh, do wish l could
find something. I'm so tired of dis
appointments.
From where she sat she could hear
the ceaseless hum and stir of the city.
There had been hours when it seemed
to call like challenge, and her heart
beat in answer to it. Now 1t fright
ened her. 1t seemed so vast, so over
whelmng There were so many prob
lens to be met and mastered. One Of
them was clothes.
She had chosen to dress in black be-
cause 1t was the most economical. Her
deft fingers had fashioned chic hat
for a trifiing sum, and for the rest she
wore the same suit, day in and day
out, taking such scrupulous care of it
that she looked as well groomed as
many a woman of means.
Each day, when she had searched
for work till she was too tired to
search further, she came to sit In the
park, where everything was green and
quiet, where squirrels frisked unmo-
Tested across the grass and where the
clear liquid notes of birds lent SEM
blance of the country. There were
moments when the scene charmed Cor
nelia, but oftener she was too dis
heartened to care. what am to do
IL this state of affairs lasts much Ion

noon in mid-August She was utterly
Respondent. Her hands were clasped
listlessly in her lap. and she shut her
eyes to keep back the tears. When
she opened them again. she encounter
ed the direct gaze of a man sitting on
the bench opposite her. He was a
wen set up young fellow of about nine
and twenty. broad shouldered and
smooth shaven. AS their eyes met the
pity that was In his look changed to
something deeper Take courage" the
look said. Life is battle for all of
us. Fight on"
Cornelia turned away her head, her
heart fluttering strangely. Some one
| In all that vast city had seen, had
cared. Its simply nonsense she
told herself. "He's never seen me be-
fore, nor l him." Yet already she felt
cheered. Unrolling newspaper she
held In her hand, she went over its
want columns again. At the next office
where she applied the business man.

tied in her aspect that argued well for
her. Tim the. happiest girl In the

minutes later. for she had found POI
sItion at last
The winter months sped quickly and
pleasantly. There was so much to do
| and so much to see-the shops, the the
! aters, the surging throngs on Broad
way and the great promenade on Fifth
avenue at twilight, when countless
carriages blocked the crossings and
when all the fashion and beauty OF
the earth seemed to shine before Cor
nelia's delighted eye. 1t grew to be
a custom with her in going to and
from her work to search the faces OF
the .passersby In the half confessed
hope that some time. somewhere, she
should again catch a glimpse of the
man whom she had seen In TIE park.
It was a wish, however. that seemed
destined to remain unfulflled.
But one Saturday as she loitered in a
crowded downtown art gallery she
came face to face with picture that
