CHAPTER XII.
Author of 1.-THE Circle,

TIN the night of Chilcote's re-
turn to his own Loder tasted
O the lees of life poignantly for
the first time. Before their
curious compact had been entered upon
he had been, if not content, at least
apathetic; but with action the apathy
had been dispersed, never again to re-
gain it's old position.
He realized with bitter certainty
that his was no real home coming. On
entering Chilcote's house he had ex-
perienced none Of the unfamiliarity,
none Of the unsettled awkwardness,
that assailed him now. There he had
almost seemed the exile returning aft
er many hardships; here, in the atmos-
phere made common by years, he felt
an alien. 1t was illustrative Of the
mans character that sentimentalities
found no place in his nature. Senti-
ments were not lacking, though they
lay out Of sight, but sentimentalities
he altogether denied.
Left alone in the sitting room after
Chilcote's departure, his first sensation
was one Of physical discomfort and
unfamiliarity. His own clothes, with
their worn looseness, brought no sense
Of friendliness such as some men find
in an old garment. Lounging and the
clothes that suggested lounging had no
appeal for him. In his eyes the garb
that implies responsibility was sym
bolic and even inspiring.
And as with clothes so with his
actual surroundings. Each detail of
his room was familiar h11f MT ono ho

ever become Intimately close. He had
used the place for years, but he had
used it as he might use hotel, and
whatever Of his household gods had
come with him remained, like himself,
on sufferance. His entrance into Chill
cote's surroundings had been altogeth-
er different. Unknown to himself, he
had been in the position of young
artist who, having roughly modelled in
clay, is brought into the studio of a
sculptor. To his outward vision ev-
erything is new, but his inner sight
leaps to instant understanding. Amid
all the strangeness he recognizes the
one essential-the workshop, the atmos-
phere, the home.
On this first night Of return Loder
comprehended something of his posi-
ton, and, comprehending, he faced the
problem and fought with it.
He had made his bargain and must
pay his share. Weighing this, he had
looked about his room with quiet
gaze Then at last, as if finding the
object really sought for, his eyes had
come round to the lnantelpiece and
rested on the pipe rack. The pipes
stood precisely as he had left them.
He had looked at them for a long time,
then an ironic expression that was al
most a smile had touched his lips, and,
crossing the room, he had taken the
Oldest and blacklist from it's place and
slowly filed it with tobacco.
With the first indrawn breath of
smoke his attitude had unbent. With
out conscious determination he had
chosen the one factor capable of cas-
ing his mood. A cigarette is for the
trivial moments Of life; cigar for its
fulfillments, it's pleasant, comfortable
retrospections; but In real distress-in
the solving Of question, the fighting Of
dificulty-a pipe is mans eternal
sOlace.
So he had passed the first night of
his return to the actualities of life.
Next day his mind was somewhat SET
tied, and outward aid was not so essen
tial; but, though facts faced him more
solidiy, they were nevertheless very
drab In shade. The necessity for
work, that blessed antidote to ennui,
no longer forced him to endeavor. He
was no longer penniless, but the money
he possessed brought with it no de-
sires. When a man has lived from
hand to mouth for years and sudden.
~ finds himself with 91OO in his pocket
the result is sometimes curious. He
finds with vague sense of surprise
that he has forgotten how to spend,
That extravaganza, like other artificial
passions, requires cultivation.
This be realized even more fully OF,

THE STOCK MARKET
DEsULToRY CONTEST BETWEEN OP-
 POSING ELEMENTS.
When It Was Determined That NeitheS Side Was Gaining Advantage, the Profes- sional lement Practically Aban-
 doned tho Contest.

New York, March 2s.--There was Q rather desultory contest waged between the oppos- part of the stock exchange session of to- day. When 1t was determined that neither side was gaining any advantage. the profes- the contest practically abandoned it. Al ter that the market fell into period Of dullness. such as has not been seen Tor ed as grateful relief from the recent tur- moil in the market. The professional test ing operations seemed to Do largely on the short side of the market. The resistance which these efforts encountered was at tributed to the activities of the party of bankers and capitalists said to have been organized for the people supporting the market and supposed to be responsible for the rally in Tuesdays market. When the market was seen to have re- gained some degree of balance many brok- CTS left the street intending to be gone until Monday fin the enjoyment of what they re- garded as much needed rest.
 Active operations were In progress at the sub treasury today in the working of the treasurys relief for the money market. srnment fours of 1907. of anticipated April Interest on the 2s and the 4s of 1907 and of deposits of customs revenues with the ha-- tionaI banks were all in progress. If prep arations were in progress also for the large interest and dividend payments made, they were balanced by these relief forces and the tion of them whene the stock market advanced early in the day. Great Northern preferred was conspicuous leader on &C., count of the Minnesota Supreme Court de- cision in favor of the legality of its eso, 000.- 900 stock issue The was, however. an abrupt fall in the quotations for the subscription rights to the new stock in the curb market. While the issue of the new stock has been held up by the litigation periods have accrued for the payments of three ten per cent. install ments of the subscriptions and another falls due on April S. which would call for some s24, 000,0o0 and might prove troublesome in the present condition of the money mar ket
 There is general feeling of hopefulness that money conditions will improve after the first of April. The Bank of England made a weak return for the week past but discounts eased in London and sterling exchange at Paris which measures the pressure of outside money requirements on that center receded sharply. The poor showing of the English bank before and fin less deRree than the French bank were considered as reflecting the reeults of past pressure, with a promise of ameitoration for the future.
 Reports of a deadlock between afficiaIs and operatives of Western railroads which threatened strike had depressing effect on the market and helped to the heavy tone of later trading.
 The marking up of prices at the end of the day was on small volume of transac- tions The market closed, however, fairly steady.

 New Orleans March 2s.--The undertone in Liverpool does not appear very good. Flu lures weakened more than called for and total spot sales are but 5000 bales today. Opening trades here were at about unchang- ed figures followed by weakness on improv- ed prospects for some precipitation in the western and northern central belt
 Sellers, however, are very cautious lest they work into the hands of the New York clique and further it's purpose of mantpu- latIon The decline therefore is very grad ual and every move in New York is being closely watched.

 Professional buying in New York during the entire afternoon prevented decline which would have resulted from an other wise weak market. March notices were free ly offered half cent under quotations without finding takers. Price develop ments for next week depend principally on whether demand for spots comes into the market and the dry spell of weather Is broken.
