narrow path that skirted its edge,
avoiding the wheel-tracks and hoof-
prints of the frozen surface, and keep

aster and golden-rod that rose on
gray stalks beside the stone wall on
either side.
Beyond the wall fields of stubble
stretched, brown and bare, in the twi-

varying light, except along the west
ern horizon, where band of orange
glowed against the darkening sky. Its
brightness fell upon the shoulders of
the young man, emphasizing the list
less stoop and the slow, dispirited
walk. The air of detection might have
belonged to man of 60.
No human being was in sight Pres
emily he turned his head and looked
back, listening. The movement
brought his face into the glow of light.
1t was a strange face, the dark, trou-

lips, slightly parted, waiting upon 81

crept into the eyes, spread over the
face and drew from the lips quick
laugh.

The listless shoulders Strengthened
themselves, and the young man faced
about. looking back.
Far up the road, outlined against
the orange sky, high farm wagon
was approaching. The old horse made
his way over the hubs with spasmodic,
seesaw leaps.
The two figures planted firmly on
the high seat seemed in no way in
commoded by the gait. Both were
bundled in shawls and furs. That one

grayish fringe Of beard that depended
from under the blue and white tippet
wound tightly around head and ears.
One hand reaching in front of the
bundled chest, palm down and
knuckles out, grasped the crossed reins
and pulled gently now and then with
seesaw motion. The other figure,
sitting stifay erect, ended in a brown
veil.
The young man waited till the
clumsy wagon was abreast Of him. He
clambered over the end and, kneeling
in the straw, laid an affectionate hand
on each bundled figure.
The brown veil nodded graciously
and stifly. "How's the folks, Rich
ard?" came from it's folds.
"All we'll. Aren't you frozen?"
There was no reply from the veil.
A whoezy chuckle from Uncle Eben
and a gentle pull on the reins were
the response.
The wagon ratified and bumped in
the silence. The sky had deepened

Alicia rode on unmindsul of the approaching

To act for the halting tendency in the
markets activity. The figures OF the
clearing house exchanges for last
Monday gave a hint of the special de-
mand OH the banks. The settlements
effected between the clearing house
banks for that day amounted to the
prodigious total Of 1896, iGl, $40. The
nearest approach ever made to these
figures was on January 3. 1906. when
exchanges at the clearing house were
reported at $3.50 ss4. $50. Call money
in that week went to co per cent at
the stock exchange and the daily sales
of stocks averaged nearly a million

any extraordinary transactions to swell
the figures of the exchange.
The large orders for new equipment
now being placed by the railroads
