ants lived on the globe. The whole
world seemed theirs. and the thought
of others even existing would have
marred the picture.
Suddenly the door leading TO the
back of the house was thrust open
and the maidservants came dashne
through in wild disorder, one after the
other, yelling: Fire. Save me. Muir

scene immediately after them and
made straight for Mr.. Roberts.
In n moment all was confusion. Mrs.
Roberts tried TO calm the women

dash for the kitchen. Carruthcrs hest
tated as he felt Hulda grasp his arm
tightly.
He looked down into the blue eyes
and the rosy lips which had just made
him so happy when suddenly from out
of the heavens he seemed to fall to
earth with n sickening thud.
"Oh. my Bobbie! My dear. dear Bob
bic. Save him. some one" cried Hulda
Carruthers looked at the girl once
more to make quite sure the cry came
from her. There was no mistake. She
wanted Livingston.
"Where IL he?" demanded Car.
ruthers huskily.
"Oh. he's In the kitchen. Save him

him.
"Oh, Livingston was here just II mo

The men all returned TO the main
part of the house, assuring the ladies
that II was nothing. Carruthers went
over to Huida.
"where's Bobbie?" she asked, with
great concern.

Generally Steady.
IRREGULARITY IN RAILWAYS
Americans Exceptionally Firm in

Heavy Buyers.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE establish
ment of some new high records by
several important stocks was an inter-
esting feature of the days situation in
Wall street. although the market a
whole could not be described as being
quite irregular. The United States
Steel stocks were the most conspicuous
features of the transactions in all re-
spects. new high price records being
recorded in these cases on very large
transactions. There was, however.
nothing definite or particularly novel
to be cited in connection with the
course of the securities in question.
The industrial and miscellaneous
shares were generally steady. although
American Cotton Oil furnished a rather
striking exception in a sharp and unex-
planned break. Leading features there
were Brooklyn Union Gas. Colorado
Fuel and Iron. Amalgamated Copper
and American Smelling.
The local traction stocks showed
greater degree of animation than has ap-
peared for a long time, and in the early
dealings Third Avenue enjoyed ex-
tenSive advance. which was not, how
ever. substantially fully retained. Brook
lyn Rapid Transit and the InterborouSh
Metropolitan shares were likewise strong.
New High Record for Union Pacific.
Transactions in the railway list ex-
hibited a rather marked degree of irreguS
larity. Union Pacific advanced to a new
high record, while the Southern Pacific
stocks reflected a certain degree of pres
sure as they have done since the an
nouncement of the plan for the retire
ment OF the preferred stock
Comparatively firm features in this
quarter of the market were Reading.
Pennsylvania, Ontario and Western and
the Wabash shares.
Broadly speaking, transactions in the
railway list were unaccompanied by any
developments of novelty or gossip of In
tereSt.
Rumors connecting the steady acquisi-
tion of the Wabash stocks with purchases
for control in the interest in the Lacka-
wanna were not. however. repeated.
Foreign Houses Take 10000 Shares.
American shares were exceptionally firm
in the London market, which was also
steady in other departments and with
the course of the morning foreign houses
were buyers in the local dealings of up
ward of 10000 shares of various stocks.
Money market and foreign exchange
circumstances showed no material altera-
tions and the commodity markets afforded
less points of interest than some time
past.
The volume of business was maintained
upon fairly large scale of activity and
a general distribution of speculative in
terest was reflected in the transactions
in the various department of the market.

services and fell into line with the fu-
neral procession. Five hundred societies
and labor unions were represented. The
interment was in Washington cemetery.
In many respects the funeral was re-
markable. Though Gordin left no direc-
tions as to the ceremony, his friends, be-
lieving that they We're rightly interpret
ing his liberal view of life. omitted re-
