Special Correspondence of The star
NEW YORK, April 80, 1910.
The stock market was curiously swayed
after the steel trust directors had formal
ly placed Steel common in the permanent
5 per cent dividend class, with an alluring
flexible pledge of extras If earnings just1-
fed. At the start-off the street was dis
posed to regard the action as signincant
of a willingness on the part of the ruling
interests to be friendly and lift the weight
of their crouch and disapproval from the
market. That was what the majority OF
active traders had been looking for ana
waiting for, and they fastened to get
aboard" as the saying is. For two-tnlrds
of Wednesdays session the market was
very active at sharply advanced prices.
Then it was discovered that the eagerly
buying public was getting stocks whole
sale and retail and apparently from In
side sources.
simultaneously Pittsburg. Youngstown

iron and steel industry deluged the wires
with lugubrious reports of the conoltloh

orders had ceased coming in, pig iron
overproduction had become gr1evously
burdensome and the outlook was most
gloomy. The street began to argue that
It might not have been SO clever, after
all, for the trust management TO BOOST
dividends in the face OF such a dread1ui
condition Of affairs.

The American league magnates are
being panned for allowing Southpaw rs
Bill Burns, formerly Of Washington

league. These questions are being fire. IL
quently asked: why did Comiskey re-
lease Pitcher Bill Burns? Why did the
other American league clubs waive
claim to a pitcher who has since been
very successful for Cincinnati?
The reason given is that, whilq3-t
Burns is a good pitcher, he is said q
believe himself privileged characteIb7 4,
He has wealthy parents and doesn't
have to work for a living. For tha
reason he couldn't see any use in ia r

Bit"
She bounced or her chair, ran to the
door and shouted up from the level
Of the basement to the street In an
other moment uniformed youth
walked in and deposited large paper
wrapped bundle, but it was not until
he had been sent away that Isidora
began to open the parcel.
II wanted to get the lot" she said,
"but, my. the bill was high way
above me. I'd 500 I'd been saving up
oh, for something, but you needn't
care. I'd heap rather do this than
buy any old thing for myself. And
here's what they give me after a lot
of fuss"
She tore off the brown paper with
dramatic gesture and triumphantly dis
played the suit Of tweed clothing
which Loveland had taken off tho
evening before in dressing for dinner.
Then her face fell as she saw that his
expressed no pleasure
II thought you'd like these better
than anything, as l couldn't run to

"You paid my hotel billr' exclaimed
Loveland.
"Only little. weeny part" Isidora
broke in. "Wisht / could have done
more"
~ DON'T" said Val hastily. "Oh,
you're very kind-too kind. don't
know what to say. But1your money,
that you were saving why, love,
it's horrible. And mayn't be able
to nay you back for days
al don't want you 70 pay me back"
the girl said proudly. Its been a
pleasure"
He thanked her as best he could for
all she had done and talked down her
objections to being repaid. Now, he
said, owing to her kindness he could
walk the streets without being stared
at and would lose no time. In cabling
to his mother. Oh, he had plenty of
money for that And, smiling as If it
were part of huge joke, he showed
what the payment Of his small debt to
the restaurant had left Of his IS.
Seven dollars and a bit-nearly 80
shillings! Why, he was rich. All he
asked now was a room in which to
change his clothes.
As. there was q houseful Of empty
rooms. this request was easily granted,
and presently Loveland came back to
the kitchen suitably clad for daylight,
except for the detail Of his necktie.
Isidora saw no fault in his appear
ance as she walked proudly at his side
on the way to send cablegram to
| Scotland.
Secretly Loveland would have been
glad to dispense with her company. but
she assured him that she had more
time than anything else" and that she
would be delighted to guide him. only
they "must not go past home. for il pa
saw her with a strange gentleman
there'd be trouble"
Isidora peered over her companions
shoulder as he wrote out his message
to his mother and was much interested
in the address. To save expense he
| put only "Loveland, DorIoch. North
Britain" Therefore the girl'suuriosi-
ty was not greatly rewarded All
she could say to herself was that APP
parently he had some right to the
name of Loveland and that he really
did seem to expect that SOMEBODY
