Union Pacific Stock Sud
denly Takes Big Drop.
RECENT SEGREGATION BLAMED
Violence OF Decline in shares of
Steel Common Also Attributed TO
Similar Causes - ElUctuRti0n Has
No Great Effect on Misunderstanding
of Granger Railroad shares.

New York, Aug 16.-Union Pacific com
mon and preferred sold even higher than
at the close last week In the early part
Of t0-day's stock exchange session, but ia
The last hour broke violently, the com
mon declining I've points. and the pre-
ferred eight and one-haf points from
the high prices Of the Gay, and tho close
showing net losses OF three and three
eighths points for the common and four
and three-fourths points for the pre-
ferred.
1t was In these stocks that speculation
Was most violent In the latter part OF last
week. and tho only reason OF excuse Of
fered for the extraordinary gains IN them
was that decision had finally been reached
on the long pending and long discussed
plan Tor the segregation Of Union Pa
eilcs Investment stocks.
Report TIntfcrE Spectators.
This morning spectators. who have
been extremely credulous In the matter
Of $3.50 Union Pacific rumors. were
BATTERED by "a .cport that the segrega-
ton plan would be announced before the
close of banking and market hours.
u was net announced. and IN the clos
Ing hour the lack OK any indication OF It's
appearance either to-day OF IN the near
future may have provided a reason FOR
the profit taking and professional sell
ing under which the stock declined.
The break IN Ibis las: hour was as vio-
lent as was the advance In any similar
period last week
Important cOutributOry causes OF the
spasmodlc fluctuations were undoubtedly
the construction OF that weak long &C
count which always accompanies furi-
ousiy speculative advance. and which is
protected" as Wall street parlance has
H. ''by stop-loss orders" and the bearish
operations Of professional traders when
ever opportunity arises to uncover the
orders OF many traders Of indecisive
mind
Similar causes, no doubt contributed
IN part to the decline Of ia points In
Steel common. and the reactiOnary move
ment seemed due 10 the sO-called tech
nical position OF the market induced
by an increase OF speculative activity
which leaves stocks az times vulnerable
10 such attacks as those to-day which
impair the stability OF even course OF
prices, but which often has but a tenn
por7ry influence on the general trend.
No Effect on stocks.
At any rate. to-day the violence CT the
decline In those shares IN which specula-
lion had produced the greatest number
OF weak bull accounts had no great effect
on stocks as a whole.
There was much impressive buying OF
the shares or the Granger railroads, some
of which scored gains on the day. and
there was also q continuation OF the
. healthy buying Of tho purely investment
stocks which has been noted since the
enactmNut OF the new tariff and the
government report on grain.

had known at the last and had for
given Hugh. OF this she could assure
him when he returned, for she could
not really believe-so deep is the heart
Of woman-that he would not return.
In the days of vigil she had found re-
lief in the rough, hard work of the NAL
let None had intruded in that out Of
the way spot, save that one day Mrs.
Halloran, led by curiosity to see the
grave of the rich man whose whim it
had been to be buried on the mountain
side, had found her at her work, and
her Jessica had pledged to silence. She
was no fool, was Mrs. Halloran, and
to learn the name of the dead man was
to put two and two together. Her
motherly heart overlooked to the girl
who worked each day at that self ap-
pointed task. Only the afternoon be-
fore Jessica had finished carving the
words on the base of the statue on
which the look of the startled man
was now resting: II will arise and go
UulO uy AdluCI.
The gazer turned from the words,
with quick question, to the mound.
He came close and in the fading light
looked at the name on the low head
stone. So he had come too late! If
he could only have learned the truth
earlier! If he might only put back
the hands of the clock!
Hours went by. At length he rose
to his feet, his limbs cramped and stiff
ened, and made his way back to the
lonely cabin on the hillside. There
he found fuel, kindled blaze in the
fireplace and cooked his frugal supper.
He thought Of the losing battle he
had fought there once before, when
tempest shrieked without-the battle
which had ended in defeat. He
thought Of the will he had seen, now
sealed with the great seal of death
He was the shorn beggar, she the ben
edciary. What duty she had owed his
father was ended now. Desolate she
might be-in need of a hand to guide
md guard-but she was beyond the
reach Of penury. This gave him a
sense of satisfaction. Was she there
on the mountain at that moment?
At last he took Old Despair's batter

himself in the open doorway. looking

"Hatgh has paid It'll" at once. During
these last few days the impulse to tell
all that she had concealed had been al
most irresistible. Now the barrier had
fallen. The secret she had repressed so
long came forth in rush of sentences
that left him mute and amazed.

ended, 'but l didn't know-I wasn't

with smile on his face. Il will rest
now" he said. And she adjusted the
pillows and turned the lamp low.
Crossing the room, she stepped through
the long window on to the porch and
stood leaning on the railing. The
words Of the Biblical narrative flashed
through her mind: "And he arose and
came to his father. But when he was

The light breeze that shook the pine

that had grown tense with listening
to one on the ridge above to whom it
had sounded the supreme call of youth
and life. He did not feel her nearer

the dark path and stood behind him.
The music died, the violin slipped
from beneath his chin, the bow drop

Then he felt touch on his shoulder
and heard the whisper: Hugh.

his feet.

Once in the streets he turned up his

crossed an open square and presently
came to the gate of Gothic chapel set
well back from the street. Its great
rose window was alight, for on this
evening was to be held a memorial
service for the old man whose money
had built the pile, who had died fort

CAedEAy up the slope OF
the mountain where once more the one
time partner of Prendergast stood on
the threshold of the lonely cabin, senti-
mel over the mounds of yellow gravel
that marked his toll.
Inc returned wanderer had met with
distinct surprise in the town. AS he
passed through the streets more than
one had nodded or had spoken his
name, and the recognition had sent a
glow to his cheek and a lightness to
his step.
Since the daring feat in the automo-
bile the tone of the gossip had changed.
Ills name was no longer connected
with the sluice robberies. The lucky
find, too, constituted a material boom
for Smoky Mountain and bettered the
stock in it's hydraulic enterprises, and
this had been written on the credit
side of the ledger. Opinion, so all DOW
erful in new community, had altered
All this he who had been the outcast
could not guess, but he felt the change
with satisfaction
Till the sun was low he sat in the
cabin thinking. At length he called
the dog and fastened it in its accus-
toned place and began slowly to climb
the steep ascent toward the Knob.
When he came to certain vine grown
trail that met the main path he turned
aside. Here lay the spot where he had
first spoken with her, face to face.
Here she had told him there was moth
Ing In his past which could not be
buried and forgotten.
AS he parted the bushes and stepped
into the narrow space beside the jut-
ting ledge he stopped short with an
exclamation. The place was no longer
tangle of vines. A grave had been
lately made there, and behind it, fresh
chiseled in the rock, was a statue-a
figure seated, chin on hand, as if re-
garding the nearby mound. As in a
dream he realized that its features
were his own. Awestruck, the living
man drew near.
1t was Jessica's conception of the
prodigal son as she had modelled it in
Aniston in her blindness, after Hugh's
