leHce as Of death. All knew the
meaning of the sound, the most
ominous ever heard in stock ex-
change, calling for the temporary
suspension of business while the presi-
dent announces the failure of some
member or house. go
FL PERKINS, BLANCHARD; 4 co.
Announce that They Cannot Meet
III. Their Obligations.
This statement that one of the old
est houses had been swamped in the
crash Bob had started caused further
frantic selling, and, as though every
member had employed the lull to re-
I'LL his lungs, howl arose that pealed
and walled to the dome.
l watched Bob closely; in fact, it
was impossible for me to take my
eyes off him; he seemed absolutely
unmindful of the agonizing shrieks
about him, for the frenzied brokers
were no longer crying their bids or
offers, but screaming them. He still
continued relentlessly to hammer
Sugar, offering it in thousands and
tens of thousand lots.
Again and again the gavel fell, and
again and again an announcement of
failure was followed by blood-curdling
hoWls. When Sugar struck 80-not
$50, but plain SO-it seemed that the
last day of stock speculation was at
hand. Announcements were being
made every few minutes of the failure
of this bank, the closing of the doors
of that trust company. Where would
1t end? What power could stop this
Niagara of molten dollars? Suddenly
above the tumult rose Bob Brownley's
voice. He must have been standing
on his tiptoes. His hands were raised
'aloft. He seemed to tower a head
above the mob. His voice was still
clear and unimpaired by the terrible
strain of the past two hours. To that
!mob it must have sounded like the
trumpet of the delivering angel. go

hghting, although more cautiously
than before. "67 for thousand"
One of his lieutenants bid 67 for 500,
another 81 for 300, and as Bob had
not yet shown his intention of meet
ing their bids, 67 for different amounts
was heard all over the house. Bob
might have been tossing metal coin
to decide the ACCESSIBILITY of buying
back what he had sold; he might have
been adding up the bids as they were
made. He said nothing for fraction
of minute, which to those tortured
men must have seemed like an age.
Then with wave of his hand, as
though delivering a benediction, he
swept the circle with cold-blooded:
'Sold the lots $500 in ALL
"Sixty-seven for a thousand again

5000" Sold "66 for a thousand"

now as fierce as before. The entire
crowd, all but Barry. Conant and his
lieutenants, seemed to have concluded
that Bob's renewal of attack meant
that he was the winning side, and

those who, were. short. and had been
undecided whether to cover or to hold

was a. bad one, as the least informed
on the floor knew that there was a
tremendous amount, of Sugar stock In

speculation and of others who had
bought it at high prices Sugar was
now dropping two, three, five. dollars
share between trades, and the panic
was spreading to the other poles, as
is always the case, for when there are
sudden large losses in one stock, the
losers must throw over the other
stocks they hold to meet their loss,
and thus. the whole structure tumbles
like a house of cards. Sugar had just
crossed 10 when the loud bang of the

the room. Instantly there was HI

monument. Just across the street
from, Meditation Rock is Kenmore, the
home of George Washington. 1t is by
far the handsomest colonial house in
the town, which is noted for beautiful
homes. The house is still used as a
residence. 1t stands in the midst Of a
great lawn, which is shaded by ans
cient elms, oaks and holly. In one cor
ner of the lawn is the sun dial used
during the life of Washington.
In the Mary Washington house where
everything remains intact, every object
is fraught with greatest interest. Even
the curtains at the windows are the
same that Mary Washington herself
hung.
Near the center of the town is the
Rising Sun tavern where Thomas JEFF
ferson, James Monroe, and other men
who figured largely in the history OF
America, were wont to stop en- route
to Washington and Richmond. The
still be deciphered. The building is
in rather a dilapidated condition.

Episcopal church is the grave OF Will
liam Jaul Jones who was buried there
in 1852, and is said to have been one
of the pall-bearers of William Shakes
peare
On the 10th of December. 1852, the
town was bombarded. The thousands
of graves, unmarked save by the num-
Der of the regiment, bear witness to
that terrible battle, which lasted for
several days.
On Mary's Heights are found many
relics Of war-cannon balls, bullets,
canteens and pieces of iron from guns
etc.
The Presbyterian church Is one OF
the oldest churches of the place, and
two cannon balls in the columns OF
the stone porch are pointed out.
One never tires Of these sights, ano
it is not hard to understand why the
inhabitants are so proud of theil
beautiful old-world looking town.
