STOCKS RECOVER
 FROM WEAKNESS CaImer ceiling Regarding Penn syIVania'S Stock Increase INDEFINITE DATE ISSUE
Expenditures Already Made-Bank Statement Shows Expected Cash Gain-Review of the
 Week.

New York. January 12.-There was a continuance today of the recovery Tn stocks from the weakness caused by the Pennsylvania plan for new capital issues which was already in evidence before the market closed yesterday, but Pennsyl- vania was not fully abreast of the front rank in the recovery. There was calmer feeling, however, in regard to the contem- plated capital issue by the road. The in- definite future for which the issue Is left had something to do with this feeling. Another consideration was the large por- tion of the proposed issue which will be required for practically funding capi- tai expenditures already made Included in the estimates of these are s5O00O,00O of notes maturing later in the year, s1S,- O0O0O to cover new cars already ordered and probably $4O,OO0,OOO for carrying on the terminal improvement work in New York.
 The principal strength today, however, recurred in previous speculative favoring, i. There was a residue of uncovered shorts as a consequence of so considerable fall as occurred yesterday, the necessities of NANN recovery. The bank statement showed the expected gain Tn cash, which prac- tically all accrued to the advantage of the surplus as the loan account was de- creased, although by a small amount. The days report of sub-treasury operations also showed a gain by the banks of $2,- 724,OOO which does, not figure in the bank statement. Discount rates rose again in London.
 There was some profit taking on the late dealings, but the gains were very well N1aintained.
 Total sales of bonds, par value, $994,OO0.
 Speculative confidence has been jared by a number of events this week and a sharp depression in the stock market has been the consequence. The continuation was reached in the unexpected announce ment by the Pennsylvania railroad au- thorities of their intention to offer SlOO,- 000,000 of additional stock and S100' 900 of additional bonds. Coming on top of the huge issues already authorized by
 -~~n railroads. the effect was

car to his laboratory. There, waiting with subdued expectancy, was a young woman, who-probably the first ex- perience of the kind in the history of her sex-had been hired to be kissed When the professor had made certain, by the use of antiseptic preparations, that no germ fingered upon the lips of the maiden. the shaven young man applied his lips to hers in the customary manner. The pro- lessor then passed a steri1ized brush over the young lady's lips, dipped 1t into test tube containing sterile solution of agar agar and quickly sealed the top. The girls lips. and face even, having been thoroughly sterilized second time, the bearded man followed the example of his shaven companion and the sterilized brush and test tube were again called into play in the same manner. During each of the operations the young woman held her breath in order that no accidental germ might be drawn upon her lips from the atmosphere.
 After four days the tubes were opened. The first, taken from the shaven man, was speckled with dots, each of which was a colony of yeast germs, such as cause mold but are practically harmless. The second, from the mustached man, literally swarmed with malignant mi- crobes The long, thin tubercle bacillus was the first found followed by diph- theria and putrefactive germs. minute bits of food hair from spiders leg and goodness knows what also great a variety in any case that nobody had the hardihood to reveal the results of the experiment to the young lady.

 with whom?" cried Phil, excitedly dropping himself back against the privet hedge.
 With Vie Morris"
 And at the name, prompt as an echo, Phil bounded erect with a sudden cry, as If the bigpest of all thorns had pricked him.
 Vic Norris he repeated; 'Vic Morris' I will show her that I am as good man as any Vic Morris in the world!'
 And he went through the wicket gate rather rudely, and without saying good bye. though little Miss Nunsby looked after him, nalf-amused and half-wistful. And Phil Calfnont did not discover till he got to his room in his father house, that a huge hawthorn spike had indeed pierced between the neck and the collar of his shirt. He thought it was the comparison with Vic Morris that was giving him pain.
 But at least. he had left some pain be- hind him, though Miss Rose in her gar- den suffered from no thorn-save, 1t may be, from the fact that she had one shoulder higher than the other.

CHAPTER XI. Choirs and Christians.

In spite of being "Kirks.' the three churches dwelled in unity-that is, for the most part. To remark that competition was severe is only to say that they were Scotch and Presbyterian. But the usual truck-and- barter of sporadic discomfort was ruled out. After all. they were almost equally proud, and with about equal reason.
 The Auld Kirk, the Kirk of the original Kirktown, still stood--modernized indeed, but with ancient bell-tower erect to wit ness in it's reverend age, to the exact spot where three centuries ago they had burned the last of the Kirktown witches. The Auld Kirk of Scotland was the moth- CT of brood of children who had set up for themselves. But still. after all, they were children to be proud of.
