gin to be was then meeting him face
to face. He had slept in that cave, she
imagined, for years, and suddenly he
was thrust out. There was no hard
ship in that, except the hardship m
the necessity for obedience, if hard
ship that might be. The night was
balmy and pleasant: no shelter was
needed. 1t was the fact that he had to
20; that he was subject to another
will and purpose: that something
higher than himself was overruling
him which might be hard. 1t would
have been hard for the woman. She
thought, however, that the limited
comprehension Of the man might not
enable him to realize it.
He stood long time on the sand
while she watched him. Had she con-
Quered? Had he learned his lesson?
Had she laid foundations upon which
consciousness Of life and its relations
might be builded? Would she be free
from the terror of molestation, which
in spite of herself sought expression
in her voice and manner? Would she
be permitted to pass the night undis-
turbed? Was her power over him suf-
ficiently definite to be established and
to be of value? Suppose she had not
succeeded in mastering him, in DOM
mating him? She shuddered at the
probabilities involved. OF all the
beasts of the field, the most terrible
when he is beast is man.
She was not weak woman. She
was above the middle height, athletic,
splendidly developed, accustomed to

CHAPTER III.
The Word of the Book,

This awakening was not as had been
that of yesterday. She prided herself
on being in full possession of her fac
ulties at once and she arose instantly
and stepped out upon the sand. The
man gave way to her respectfully as
she passed through the entrance. The
mind is brightest in the early morn
ing after sleep. She would give him

from her action.
She had fancy to test his strength
and she managed to convey to him by
signs. mainly by trying herself in vain
to pull 1t apart, what she wished him
to do. The impossible to her was
child's play to him, and in a moment
the several pieces of the boat which
made up the stern were scattered on
the beach. There was one straight
of the boat and made little box for
the coxswain to sit In, which would
do for a shovel. 1t was too wide, but
she broke 1t against big stone and
was possessed of what she wanted.
The ends were rough and serrated and
unfit for her hands, but these she
smoothed by the aid of her knife. She
sharpened the other end and soon had
a rude semblance of shovel. She in
tended to use that ON the boat on the
sand the next day.
Finished with this, she looked at
the man and sighed in despair. Could
she ever get rid of him? Instantly
there flashed into her mind that
which she had before overlooked as Of
no moment. A long, heavy boat rope,
the boats painter, she had noticed
when she dove lay floating by the
side of the boat from which 1t had not
been severed. An idea came to her.
Dropping the shovel and followed by
her satellite, she plunged in once more

OF the coppice, she hesitated In appre-
hension OF she knew not what, but
summoning her courage parted the
reeds and peered In them. She shrank
back with a sudden cry of horror. for
at her feet, the vegetation springlng
through in every direction, lay a
skeleton, a human skeleton. 1t lay
athwart her path and at the feet was
a smaller skeleton which she Judged
to be that Of dog. With instructive
repugnance she released the rushes
and turned hastily away.
Eyes, yes" said the man by her
side with an expression of unusual re-
lief on his face which she could
scarcely fail to notice.
She knew that she could not thus
evade her duties or shrink from her
problems. She had marked the CLEAN
of metal amid the bones. She knew
that she would have to come back and
examine those last remainders of hu.

There was nothing else that she
discovered on her tour about her pris'

was afternoon by this time and she de-
termined to employ some of her hours
in a more careful inspection Of it.

HOT WEATHER
CHECKS TRADING

NEW YORK, July 16.-Dullness
and hesitation were dominant in
the stock market today. The
small attendance of brokers was
partly responsible, the hot weather
adding TO the attractions of out
of town sojourns over the week
end. The uncertain tone of the
market grew out of the labor sit
uation on the Pennsylvania rail-
road and the indications of dis
turbance in the cotton market
The wheat market was not af-
fected by early reports of further
damage TO spring wheat, and this
factor lost part of its influence in
the stock market Cooler weather
and rains in parts of the Canadian
wheat belt were reported. The
excitement in the cotton market
was ascribed to the speculative
position there rather than TO fresh
news bearing on the crop.
Opinions We're mixed over the
outcome of the Pennsylvania con-
troversy with its employees, but
with a hope of a settlement which
would avoid a strike.
The formal announcement of
reduction in wire prices by the
United States steel subsidiary gave
weight to rumors of the intended
cuts in other steel products.
This had a depressing effect on
steel. There was renewed selling
of Anal gamted copper in spite
of reports of some large sales of
metal effected in New York yes
terday. There were revived ru-
mors also of negotiations look
ing to the curtailment of produc-
tion by agreement among the
principal miners of copper.
The foreign exchange rate rose
slightly today and discounts
steadied in London. The tone or
the time money market in New
York has commenced to relax from
its recent stiffness under the in
fluence of the obvious ability of
New York to obtain gold in Lon
don. The gold to arrive in Lon
lon Monday is expected 10 De Sc
cured in part at least for ship
ment to New York. The firmer
tone of exchange was ascribed to
this expectation.
A sharp rise in the total of idle
freight car equipment in two
weeks placed the net total at
1885 cars. the highest figure
since August of last year.
The bank statement disclosed
the actual surplus reserve up to
over s33, ,O00,O 900, a heavy influx of
cash combining with the loan con-
traction to widen the ratio of re-
serves to deposits Such a show
ing, with foreign exchange at the
gold import level, must go far to
fortify confidence in the amplitude
of New York's bank resources to
meet all likely demands from the
interior
Bonds were easy. Total sales

Condition of Trade

Henry Clews of New York SAYS:
There has been q succession of unfayorable

ernment. and somewhat disturbing political
elements in financial circles These developments
have been followed by not altogether salts

gated Sll2,N0,00o, compared with $SS OOoo 900
the same time last year. Bank clearings through
out the country running below year ago.
Railroad expenses are often increasing more
rapidly than earnings, with consequently un-
pleasant losses in net In the iron trade the
production OF pig iron is already running ahead
of consumption, and prices of steel products
generally show downward tendency. In cotton
goods the production is being curtaed fully 50
per cent and a similar shutdown is also re-
ported in the wooden and silk industries. The
oyerproduction of copper continues i'll spite OF
sumption: the prospects of regulating the prod
uct are still indefinite ever The tendency
OF commodities continue downward in the
wholesale markets, though in time this should
cheaper costs to consumers and thus somewhat
reduce the cost Of living.
THE BRIGHTER SIDE
This is the dark side of the picture. Fortu-
nately there is also brighter side.
"A satisfactory consideration is the surprising
calmness with which the recent severe Hquida-
tion has been accepted In securities there has
been decline of 10 TO 40 points and over. Many
of the best stocks are now selling at the lowest
prices since the panic of 1907. and the financial
situation has undoubtedly been greatly improved
10y this drastic liquidation. The retrenchments
by western bankers is also likely in the end. to
prove beneficial. So too. is the general decline
in the commodity markets. 1t is remarkable
that such prolonged and severe liquidation could
have taken place without inviting some serious
trouble. As matter of fact there are not
even any of such, and symptoms of a
panic are entirely lacking. On the contrary
there is feeling of confidence In the undertone
based upon belief that soon the political
and financial situations become more settled
the country viii enjoy fresh forward movement
upon lower and more stable basis"
