CHAPTER V.

Thursday, November 12, was memorable day in Wall street. As the gong peeled it's the game 's=closcdlHl- anotherday. the myriad of tortured souls that are supposed to haunt the treacherous boes and quicksands of the great exchange where lie their earthly hopes, must have prayed with renewed oarncstuess for it's destruc- ton before the morrow. Never had the stock exchange folded it's tents with surer confidence of continuing it's victorious march. Sugar advanced with record breaking total sales to POT F and inc final halfhour carried the whole list of stocks up With it. In that time some of the railroads jump, ed ten points Sugar closed at the very top amid great excitement, with Barry Conant taking all offered. Dur, ing the last 90 minutes it had become evident to all that the board-room traders and pluBgers, together with many of the mi-professional gam blers, who operated through commits sion houses. were selling out their FNbNN AAlA HNtA4o S4tR'N | RN'i lilt oltt IT. ing of the Wall street hoodoo-day, Fri. day, the 18th of the month But it was also evident. with the heavy selling at the close and stiffness of the price. which had never wavered as block after block was thrown on the market, that some pow erful interest as well had taken cog nizance of the fact that the morrow was hoodoo-day. At the close most of the sellers, had they been granted another five minutes, would have re- purchased, even at a loss, what they had sold, for it looked as though they had sold themselves into trap. Their anxiety was intensified by the publication, a few minutes later, of this item;
 Barry Conant in coming from the Sugar crowd after the close remarked to a fellow broker: By three o'clock to- morrow. the 18th, will have new moan ing 10 Wall street. This was interpreted as pointing to q terrific jump in Sugar tomorrow"
 "The street" knew that the news bureau that sent out ttis item was friendly to Barry Conant and the "sys. tenn" and that it would print nothing

Helping Impecunious Man.

If you happen to have theater tick cts that haven't cost you anything" said the bachelor girl, "and don't want to take a woman, you must diplomatic. ally go about asking some man you know if you want his company If he is a man without money, and he generally is if he is very interesting. he will have dozen engagements that prevent his accompanying you. He wants to go, you understand but
 This is what you must do. You must explain to him quickly, in the same breath that you ask him, that you have a dinner engagement before. hand and that you must come home straight after the theater. You can't possibly stop anywhere for anything in the way of refreshments. It is out of he question.

Happiness.

Happiness is an inexpensive and therefore a very common form Of en. joyment.
 Happiness and pleasure must not be confused Happiness is sort of feIicitous opiate administered by a charitable Providence to those who cannot afford anything better Often a person so poor that he has nothing left but health and a moderate il. come will be foolishly. extrayagantly. riotously happy. Then why begrudse the rich their pleasure, which would appear to be the only fun that is left for them? Is it not a fair and im- partial division?
 How ungrateful for any one to sug. gest that pleasure, being always pre- ferred, often carries a bonus of com. mon, which is happiness, by reason of which the rich get more than their share. Such people are not entitled to be poor They should be deprived of their dope. They should be very rich.-Life.

Grieg as a Schoolboy.

Grieg was not a pattern schoolboy. In a description of his days at school he wrote: Knowing that by arriving late I would not be allowed to enter the class until the end of the first lesson, I used on wet mornings, to stand under dripping roof until l was soaked to the skin. The master then sent me home to change my clothes, but the distance being long this was equivalent to giving me a dispensa- tion! You may guess that l played this prank pretty often, but when at last l carried it so far as to come one day wet through, though it had hardly rained at all. they became suspicious, and kept a lookout. One fine day was caught, and made an intimate ac' quaintance with the birch."

 in Bottle.

Mix the following by shaking well in bottle, and take in teaspoonful doses after meals and at bedtime:
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce: Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. A prominent physician is the authority that these simple, harmless ingredients can be obtained at nom- inal cost from any druggist even in the smaller towns.
 The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad- der weakness and Urinary trouble of all kinds, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease.
 Those who have tried this say it pos itively overcomes pain in the back, clears the urine of sediment and regu- lates urination, especially at night, curing even the worst forms of blad- der weakness.

There are many puzzling differences between Scottish and English law terms. For instance, bankruptcy is in scotland "an act of sequestration,' solicitor is either writer or Flaw agent the argument in case is the "debate,' and assizes is the jury. a wronadoer is a delinquent" an idiot-in scottish law-is a fatuous person" and a burglary is (with true Scottish caution), "houscbreaking with an =aagfaTation" Finally, an au- thor is. in Scotland. not a person who writes, but the vender or seller of real property, from whom the title to it is derived.

Is trying to fathom Barry Conant's movements. but for what puiposa puzzled me. The hands of the. bis clock on the wall showed that trading had been 70 minutes under way. and still Barry Cenant was pushing up the price His voice had just rung out 20 for any part of 5000 when, like an echo. it sounded through the hall: Sold It was Bob He had worked his way to the center of the crowd and stood in front of Barry Conant.
 He was not the Rob who had taken Barry Conants gaff that afternoon a few weeks before. never saw him cooler. calmer more selfpossessed. He was the incarnation of confident power. A cold, cynical smile played around the corners of his mouth as he looked down upon his opponent.
 The effect upon Barry Conant was different from that of Bob's last bid on the day when Beulah Sands hopes went skyward in dust, It did not rouse in him the wild. furious desire for the onslaught that he showed then, but seemed to quicken his alert, prolific mind to exercise all it's cun- ming. l think that in that one mo- ment Barry Conant recalled his suspi- cions of the day before, when he had wondered what Bobs presence in the crowd meant and that he saw again the picture of Bob on the day when he himself had ditched Bob's treasure train. He hesitated for just the frac- tion of second, while he waved with lightling-liTe rapidity a set of finger signals to his lieutenants Then he squared himself for the encounter.

This man looked hearty, polite and intelligent, and the manager of the car barns seemed to think well of him. After a number of questions the manager said; Well, what pay do you desire?'

1t is true that the flavor of the eggs
often depends upon the kind of food
the hens are provided with. For this
reason we feed very little onions. If
you wish rich flavor and good quality
feed wholesome food.
Here is the way James Dryden, the
poultry expert of the Utah experiment
station, sizes up the egg-laying pos
sibilities of the hen: "a good hen
with good treatment will lay 200 eggs
in a year. good hen with poor treat
ment may lay 100 eggs year. A poor
hen with good treatment may lay SO
eggs, but a poor hen with poor treat
ment may not lay an egg"
The influence of the rooster upon the
number of eggs produced has been
tested, showing that in two pens Of
five pullets each, treated in the same
way from January till September. the
one with the male laid $50 eggs; the
one without the rooster laid 972 eggs.
The effect Of the presence Of the male
upon the fertility Of eggs was tested.
1t increased from the first day to
95 per cent Of fertile eggs on the eighth
day.
