 Than Mondays.

Prices were bid up 1-2 to 3-4 point for some stocks, but soon there was recession, then dull ness on the decline. and extended per iods of nothing doing up to early in the afternoon. Traders said that as stocks became dull on the rally, the future tendency was more likely to be downward than upward. This fact it. self tended 60 curtail professional busi- ness.

Rock Island stocks rallied rather sharply at the start, and held fairly firm most Of the day as result of ab- sence of unfaVorable developments, of the character about which rumors were circulated yesterday. It is altogether likely that the bear party could ac- count for some of these stories, anl that they were using them to try to depress values.

The resumption Of various iron and steel mills and the reopening of few Pennsylvania and New York Central machine and repair shops. though un- important in themselves, tended to produce more cheerful frame of mind among people in the financial district For the most part news from industrial centers was slightly more favorable. But this was offset by poor railroad earning statements and fears that many more of the same sort are yet to como.

business way. Soon the newspapers
OF Grotto City began to print stories
which apparently originated In the
Meteorological Bureau. They told OF
the high winds which blew in the
Arctic Circle, and finally came to tho
point that the gales up North blew
out candles so fast that the Eskimos
could not use them for lighting pur-
poses.
Instantly the stock Of the Arctic
Candle Company went down to minus

buying It.
Soon after the weather stories an

only In the daytime, and that the
nights were perfectly calm. Imme-

When his sentence expired Sink

they were by the wounded Di, II was
close on midnight when they reached
the ring OF glaciers.
Fortunately the night was clear.
and SO II was comparatively easy
task TO take the airships down To the
valley-all the easier because In the
clear night air the campfire below
shone like beacon.
There was some difficulty In bring
ing them To earth because OF the
weight OF the Di, whose supports were
shorter than those Of the Victor.
Diana came out into the freight
with an anxious face, but Strongs
countenance was so beaming and so
entirely placid that she misread the
results OF his expedition.
He leaped out OF the Victor laugh
ing. and II was with smile on his
face that he drew near to Diana.
/ But his first words undeceived her.

Dianas face grew serious. How"
she asked.
And he explained.

Strong smiled at her.

Diana
She paused for few moments, and
then went bravely on again.

course which you may laugh at, and
which Is certainly desperate enough.
1t is that you should throw yourself on

Even In Bomberg We recognize the
King OF England as the master diplo-
mat Of the age. and suggest THAT you
should go to him and ask HIM to find
a way out OF the tangle In which We

Strong shrugged his shoulders.
Though perfectly willing to listen to
Diana. he had certain definite plans of
his own.

satisfy his appetite he must have
money. and to have money-he
thought for long time-it was neces-
sary to work
Later Sink read of bank cashier
who had taken $4,000 from the
bank. This indicated to an active
mind that money might be had with
out the degrading necessity OF WORK.
but the cashier had gone to jail for ten
years, and Sink thought work prefer

could quit work. After this Sink
read of money being made In hun

expedient of imagining railroad

Sink picked up the large roll OF bills

proposed another cigar. This time
Sink was chagrined to lose. but he
reflected that after all there was only
one twenty-dollar bill in the lot
In the seclusion OF his room Sink
sat down to count his winnings.
The strangers money was all cigar

Sadly Snix reflected that there were
