CHAPTER xl.
n .he Presenee Of sheridan.

Il had been dark for nearly an hour
before we entered what was from ali
appearances a large and populous
camp. No sooner was l thrust into
the unknown darkness Of hut by the
not unkindly sergeant. than l threw
myself prone on the floor. and was
sound asleep before the door had fair.
ly closed behind him.
My rest was not destined to be a
long one. 1t seemed l had barely
closed my eyes when a rough hand
shook me again into consciousness.
The flaming glare of an uplifted pine
knot flung its radiance over half-a-
dozen figures grouped in the open
doorway. A corporal with a white
chin beard. was bending over me-
Come. Johnny" he said tersely.
get up you're wanted"
The instinct of soldierly obedience
in which had been so long trained
caused me to grope my way to my
feet.
What time is it. Corporal?" asked
sleepily.
After midnight"
Who wishes me?"
"Headquarters," he returned brusque-
~. Come. move on Fall in. men"
Our march was a short one, and we
soon turned abruptly in at a wide
open gateway. High pillars of brick
stood upon either hand. and the pas
sage was well lighted by brightly
blazing fire Of logs. Two sentries
stood there. and our party passed be-
tween them without uttering n word.
AS we moved beyond the radiance
noted :. little knot OF cavalrymen ST.
lently sitting their horses in the
shadow OF the high wall. A wide
gravelled walk. bordered. l thought.
with flowers, led toward he front door
of commodious house built after the
colonial type. The lower story seemed
fairly ablaze with lights. and at the

The corporal pushed me forward.
This is the man. sir"
Very we'll; hold your command
here until l send other orders"
He rested one hand. not unkindly
upon my arm. and his tone instantly
changed from that of command to gen.
arous courtesy.
"You will accompany me. and per
init me to advise you. for your OWL
sake, to be as civil as possible in your
answers tonight. for the old man is
In one of his tantrums."
We crossed the rather dimly lighted
hall. which had p sentry posted al
either end OF it. and then my con
ductor threw open side door, and
silently motioned for me TO enter in
advance of him. It was as spacious
room, elegant in all its appointments
but my hasty glance revealed only
three occupants. Sitting at hand

CHICAGO GRAIN
AND PROVISIONS
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, July 11.-With government
crop reports construed as bullish and with
the European visible supply expected to
show a big decrease, the wheat market
today had an upward turn. Besides, the
weather in the northwest was generally
clear and there were reports Of the dam
age area In Russia becoming larger. On
the other hand. the heavy offerings of
the new crop wheat here had a decided
ly retarding effect. The opening was ga
higher to IA off. September started
at 80 SIS to g., gain Of IL to IS, but
reacted to 90 1-4C.
Corn went sharply higher on account of
the government figures and because of
the hot weather. Pit traders as rule
found themselves short and obliged to
cover at a disadvantage. September
opened 1-2 to / up at 60 to So 1-2c. The
market steadied around So 1-Sc.
New investors competed with shorts for

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES QUIET
BY Associated Press.

New York, July 1.-THE cotton market
opened firm at a decline of points on
July, but generally 9 to II points higher
in response to better cables than due
covering, buying of August by leading
spot interests and some support for the
new crop from the bull operators. Fluc-
tations were somewhat Irregular after the
call and the occasional operators seemed
to feel little confidence in any sustained
advance but with the forecast during the
early trading in sympathy with the better
reports from Liverpool and better demand
for the old crop months.
There seemed to be very little selling
of the old crop positions, which had been
depressed for below parity with other
markets during the sensational decline
Of Yesterday and before midday July and
August were selling about "a to 80 points
net higher on covering. trade buying sup
port from leading bulls and buying by
foreign houses. The new crop positions
ruled about IA to Is points net higher
in sympathy, but offerings of the later
months became heavier on bulges with
crop experts wiring in that the Texas
drouth had been broken for the present
and prices at midday were to ( points
of from the best.

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
BY Associated Press.


New York, July 11.-Strength Of the
western railroad stocks was the feature
Of the market at the opening to-day.
Union Pacific gained "a, st. Paul and
Southern Pacific So and Great Northern
preferred, 1-2; otherwise the changes
were confined to small fractions. Trading
was dull and the market was firm.
The list later reached high level and
before relapsing into dizziness number
OF obscure specialties were brought for
ward and advanced. American Canadian,
preferred, gained 1-2; American Ice,
l 3-S; Interborough Metropolitan, prefer
red, l IA and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and Western Union l. General
electric yielded 1-2.
Prices Of stocks ruled somewhat higher
during the morning, following yesterday s
ment crop report. The rise Of Americans
in London before the opening impaired
strength to the local market at the out
set and nearly everything on the list
made some gains. Some Of the wide huc-
tuations in the specialties were due In
part to resumption in pool operations.
Bonds were generally firm. There was
considerable selling of American Tobacco
As which dropped 1 1-2.
Business was very scanty, but purchas-
ers were at a higher level the early
afternoon showing most Of the principal
railroad stocks ruling about a, point above
yesterdays closing. Union Pacific, South
ern Pacific and st. Paul, Atchison, Read
ing, Lehigh Valley and United States
Steel were conspicuous in the upward
movement at intervals.
Some stocks that do not usually figure
promptly dealings made good gains but
the favorite issues were not neglected.
Speculation grew progressively smaller in
volume as the session drew to an end.

New Orleans Futures.

New Orleans, La, July n.-Cotton flu
lures opened steady at an advance Of II
to 10 points on the old crop months and
an advance Of II to 10 points on the new.
Calls were much better than due, pri-
vate messages from across the water said
that the rise there was due to aggressive
buying from this side. AS soon as the
local market opened there was rush to
cover on the part of weak spots. Some
little fresh long buying was also in evil
dence. The weather map did not reflect
much of any rain anywhere in the cotton
region and the bears missed the effect
Of moisture which of late they have been
relying on to depress the market around
the first call. The market had a firm
undertone in the early trading and at
the end of the first half hour of business
was II to 10 points over yesterdays close.
From the middle of the morning on, the
old crop months attracted no attention
and trading was confined to the new
crops which increased their advance by
a few points. The weekly weather re-
ports were called unfavorable as they
stated that the drouth had not been
broken over the whole Of either Texas
or Oklahoma This feature OF the reports
held prices up when the market began to
act as If 1t were about to sag. The
forecast of fair weather for Texas also
helped the bulls. At the highest Of the
morning the new crops were 10 to Is
points up. At noon the list was IL to IA
up.
