AS Winthrope started off, Blake
turned to Miss Leslie, with a good
natured grin.

of disdain, and HIS face darkened

Blake, and springing up, he set about
his work whistling.
The girl gazed at his broad back
and erect head, uncertain whether she
should feel relieved or anxious. The
more she thought the matter over, the
more uncertain she became, and the
more she wondered at her uncertain
ty. Could it be possible that she was
becoming interested in a man who, If
her ears had not deceived her But
no! That could not be possible!
Yet what ring there was to his
voice!-so clear and tonic after Win
thrope's precise, modulated drawl.

could be rude If need be; but he
would make her do what he thought

possible that she had misunderstood

Our School Board.

The school board of the district of
meeting on last Monday night.
The current bills including the sala-
ries of teachers and jsnitors were paid.
The superintendent made his report
of attendance which showed that the
enrolment was 1856 and attendan ce
was 1860.
Miss Bertha Kilmer made applica-
ton TO be put on the substitute list
taking effect from the time her school
closes in the country or the beginning
of the next school year.
s. e. Ellis was paid $35 for digging
a cess pool. The salary of the secretary
was set for the year at $l75. The same
amount which was paid last year.
Prof. d. Il. Dodd principal of the
fourth ward school reported that one
of the walls of the new addition was
badly cracked and the matter was re-
ferred to Architect Wolff.
Mr.. Guy FL. Mckee made the propo-
sition to the board that he would pay
the board one months rent for the Ii
brary if the library would be novel to
the John street building by the first o.

King street room so the U. 8. Express
can move therein and he get the room
now occupied by the express company
to fix it up so he can move his store

was agreed to.
Superintendent Morton made a
lengthy report of the condition of the
schools recommending many nova
tions which were favorably regarded
and which were adopted.

was beginning to slice tie meat for
drying. Though his forehead was fur
rowed, his expression was by no
means sinister. Relieved at the
thought that the light must have de-
ceived her, she returned TO her bed
and was soon sleeping as soundly as
Winthrope.
Blake strung the greater part OF the
meat on the drying racks, built a
smudge fire beneath, and stretched the
antelope skin on frame. This done,
he took his club and small piece Of
bloody meat, and walked stealthily
down the cleft to the barricade. Quiet
as was his approach, 1t was met by a
warning yelp on the farther side Of the
thorny wall, and he could hear the
scurry of fleeing animals.
He kept on until the barricade
doomed up before him In the starlight.
From cliff to cliff the wall now
stretched across the gorge without
hole or gap. But Blake grasped the
trunk of young date-palm which
projected from the barricade near the
bottom, and pushed 1t out. The dis
placement Of the spiky fronds disclosed

lines, particularly in the textile
branches, being extremely dull. A
slightly better tone is observable in
the metal industries, and more activ-
ity is being shown in the iron trade,
although the Steel Corporation is only
running at about 20 per cent of its
full capacity. Crops are making fair
progress, the weather in the past few
weeks having been more favorable.
AS stated in previous advices, good
crops are more vital to a continuance
of good business than any other
single factor, and this year it is es-
peoially important that the country
have a good harvest. Our foreign
trade continues to show a deficiency
in exports, but the recent downward
tendency of commodities in general
should tend to restrain imports and
stimulate exports, thus restoring the
much desired equilibrium in our for
eign trade. The decline in wheat is
an especially favorable incident. FOR
tunately, Europe is in a much easier
financial position than expected, les
SEEMING the probabilities of further
drain upon our gold supply, which
would be very unwelcome under ex-
listing circumstances. The favorable
features in the market are these:
Satisfactory crop progress, easy mon
ev until crop requirements begin, and
approaching adjournment of Con-
gress. 1t may be that the market
leaders will be able to utilize these
conditions as basis for forcing a
higher market. Upon all good rallies
however, we should advise profit tax
ing until intrinsic conditions improve

Monetary Situation.

The monetary situation is also prob
lematical, the present case being
largely superficial. Interior banks
have been contracting their loans
when possible and sending funds to
New York, the result being an ample
supply here of call money. Bankers
are wisely keeping their funds well in
hand The Western situation is at
tracing much attention, because of
the considerable over-expansion of
loans by Western institutions, fire.
ouently on collateral of questioned
stability There has been great
land boom all through the West, in
which State and National banks and
other financial institutions have had
much to do in financing. While there
has been an unquestioned and healthy
rise in land values, still excess has
broken out in many places, and there
| is danger of reaction. With so large
an amount of funds locked up in such
operations, the Western banks will be
less able to take care Of the crops
next fall than usual. This means firm
rates for money when the crop move
ment begins, and New York may be
called upon for assistance to a larger
extent than for several years. Little
aid can be obtained from the Treasury

funds are at low ebb, and the Dor

therefore is one which will require

Special to The Neos.

New York, May 91.-Efforts to lift
the stock market have thus far met
with only occasional success, and ar
guments in favor of higher prices fail
to enlist the desired attention of buy
ers. Whether this is because of a
suspicion that the big men have been
encouraging rise for the purpose of
Kidding themselves of surplus stocks,
or else making market for pending
new issues; or whether it is due to
other and as yet unrecognized tenden-
cies remains to be seen. Compared
with the high prices of last year, good
stocks certainly look cheap. and yet
there are some unpleasant features
developing, the outcome of which
must be awaited with patience. Pos
sibly the power to absorb stocks has
been temporarily impaired by recent
heavy issues, or else investors may be
holding back for better terms. In the
latter attitude they are meeting with
no little encouragement. Philadel-
phia could not place a loan at 4 per
cent, but might have succeeded at
4 IA per cent, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road having no difficulty in disposing
of a considerable issue on IL per
cent basis. Chicago has just been
obliged to pay IL per cent for a new
loan. At last the unprecedented de-
mands upon capital are beginning to
have their effect. There are signs OF
a temporary exhaustion of buying
power, and those who have money tc
invest are naturally demanding better
returns. The delay in announcing
the issue of bonds abroad has alsC
exerted a discouraging effect; it nov
being several weeks since rumor:
were current that Europe was abou
to buy $3O0,O00,00O, while little NOR
than s10O,OO0OO0 have only thus ia
been taken. European buyers ais
appear to be insisting upon bette
terms. Needless to say such cond
lions in the investment market ar
not favorable to higher prices TO
stocks.

Railroad Situation.

Our railroad situation is also not
without its embarrassing features.
Gross earnings, it is true, exhibit
handsome increases, but net returns
do not show corresponding gains, and
in many cases they are showing actual
losses. The latter may become still
more apparent when the recent ad-
vances in wages begin to show their
effect The railroads had hoped to
recoup themselves by an advance IN
rates. To limited extent they have
succeeded; but all further efforts to
advance rates are sure to meet with
very strenuous opposition on the part
of shippers; and in the present hostile
attitude of public opinion, the chances
of the railroads being able to com
pensate themselves for recent In
creased OUTLAWS is not at all brilliant
The fate Of the Taft Railroad bill is
also a matter Of much importance
That measure is now in very drastic
form. and though it cannot pass In It's
present shape the uncertainty is dis
couraging to the large financial inter
ests, and Europe, 1t must be remem

The Auto-piano is not an electric
piano.
1t is Just a regular style piano, hit
ted with interior self-playing mechan-
ism.
1t has the regular keyboard just
like any other piano and is always
ready for "finger-playing" by the plan
list.
1t is likewise always ready for auto
matte playing by use of paper rolls
and pedals.
So it plays both ways and every
member of the family can play with
out any knowledge of music.
The catalogue of music rolls CON
tains thousands of the best selections,
and is being constantly added to.
There is also large list of accompa-
niments for songs, violin and other
instruments, Many singers cannot
play their own accomplishments. The
Auto-piano makes them independent.
Many people have an expensive pi-
ano in the home and no one to play
it. In other homes, probably only
one member of the family plays
and not very we'll, perhaps.
Why not trade the dead piano for
live one? Buy an Auto-piano which
everyone can play, and have some
