Faded Roses.


 l was in the house for a week. Much of that time I spent in eompos- ing and destroying letters of thanks to Miss West, and in growing at the doctor. Mcknight dropped in daily, but he was less cheerful than usual. Now and then I caught him eyeing me as if he had something to say, but whatever t was he kept it to himself. Once during the week he went to Baltimore and saw the woman in the hospital there. From the description I had little difficulty in recognizing the young woman who had been with the murdered man in Pittsburg. But she was still unconscious. An elderly aunt had appeared, gaunt person in black, who sat around like buzzard on a fence, according to Mcknight, and wept, in a mixed figure, into a damp handkerchief.

WIDE ACTIVITY INDICATED
Decrease of Bank Clearings in New
York City Cause of IS Per Cent
Loss as a Whole.
New York-Dun's Review saws:

New York.-Dun's Review says:
The movement in most departments
of trade and industry is indicative of
increased confidence and wider activ-
ity as the fall season draws near.
While the August clearings, as a
whole, were Is per cent under those
of 1900, this was due entirely to the
big decrease in New York, for outside
that city there was a small gain.
During the last week there has
been a falling off of 1875 per cent in
New York and of Al per cent outside.
Railroad earnings in three weeks Of
August increased 81 per cent. The
most striking event of the week was
an advance in August cotton to 20
cents, the highest price in genera
ton, due to covering by shorts, but
other months were not affected, and
the crop advices put the cotton con-
dition as considerably better than
last year, with a large acreage. The
condition is, however, under that of
last month.
Further progress appears in iron
and steel, the recent improvement in
demand now becoming more impress
sive. Conditions in the pig iron di-
vision are distinctly better and higher
prices are asked for next years de-
livery, although some concessions are
noted for early shipment. Sales of
close to 10000 tons have been made
OF late and several important inquiries
are pending, which create a hopeful
sentiment regarding prospects for a
large fall business. In the finished
lines, also, the situation is more en-
couraging, specifications being heavy
in all departments.
A sensational advance in the ALL
gust cotton option on Monday brought
the highest price in over three de,
cades, further covering by the short
account forcing quotations upward to
20 cents per pound. This develop.
ment was wholly due to speculative
Influences and the new crop deliveries
were not affected, some weakness ap.

Americans.

Farm produce today is remunera-

agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics Of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies in the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer a hand-to-mouth. existence. 1t
means independence, often aff1uence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house, near one OF
the numerous thriving towns of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition Of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres of the farm
er's land had a crop-and a splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
of the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
HIS broken English-he was a French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal a year ago,
had paid 500 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement it
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evi-
dence as to the quality of the soil, and

BE gosh, yes, we like him-the
farmin'-well, don't we, Jeannette?"
as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near. She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far
west home, to assist him by her wifely
help and companionship, in making a
new home in this new land. "Yes, we
