Though the anguish caused by
every movement was no less intense
than it had been the afternoon be
fore, he was stronger now and more
in possession of his faculties. Before
starting the chase, he cut strip
from his shirt to wind around the
leg OF the young eagle, in order that
he might be able to tether it tightly
without cutting the flesh The bird
had suddenly become most precious
to him,
Very warily he made his approach

bird turned and faced him, its one
uninjured wing lifted menacingly and
its formidable beak wide open. Hold
ing the heavy shirt ready to throw,
Horner crept cautiously. so intent
now upon the game that the an
guish in the leg which he dragged
stiffly behind him was almost for
gotten. The young bird, meanwhile,
waited motionless and vigilant, It's
savage eyes hard as glass.
At last faint culver and shrink
ing in the birds form, an involuntary
contracting of the feathers, gave
warning to HorneHf's experienced eye
that it was about TO spring aside.

keeping hold of it by the sleeve.

yelps of interrogat ton. But the appeals
of the youngster at last brought him
down, and he delivered up the prize.
The moment he was gone Horner
crept up to where the youngster
was already tearing the warm body
to pieces. Angry and hungry, the bird
made show of fighting for his
rights; but his late experience with
his invincible conqueror had daunted
him. Suddenly he hopped away. the
full length of his tether; and Hor-
ner picked up the mangled victim.
But his appetite had gone by this
time. He was not yet equal to a
diet of raw flesh. Tossing the prize
back to its rightful owner, he with
drew painfully to grub for more
grass-roots.
After this the eagle came regularly
every three or four hours with food
for the prisoner. Sometimes it was

Always Horner made a point of taxi

CRY youngster, ,aad then throwing it
back to him, unable to stomach
the idea of the raw flesh. At last,
on the afternoon of the third day Of
his Imprisonment, he suddenly found
that it was not the raw flesh, but

While examining a fine laketrout, he
remembered that he had read of raw

CHAPTER TWO.

The ledge on which he had found
refuge was apparently an isolated
one about fifty or sixty feet III
length and vanishing with the face
of the sheer cliff at either end. 1t
had a width of perhaps twenty-five
feet; and its surface, fairly level,
held some soil in its rocky hollows.
Two or three dark-green seeding firs,
and a slim young silver birch, a
patch or two of wild-beaten grass, and
some clumps of harebells, azure as
the clear sky overhead, softened the
baroness of this tiny, high-flung ter
race. In one spot, at the back, a
spread of intense green and hand
breadth of moisture on the rock show
ed where a tiny spring oozed from
a crevice to keep this lonely oasis
in the granite alive and fresh.
At the farthest edge Of the shell
and eyeing him with savage dread
sat the young eagle, which had fall
en- with him. Horner noticed, with
a kind of sympathy, that even the
bird, for all his wings, had not come
out of the affair without some dam
age, for one of its black wings waf
not held up so snugly as the other

unused vaguely upon this unimportan'
question his pain so exhausted him
that he sank back, and lay once
more staring up at the eagles, who
were still wheeling eXcitedly ovel
the nest. In an exhaustion that was
partly sleep and partly coma his
eyes closed. When he opened them
again the sun was hours lower and
far advanced toward the west, SC
that the ledge was in shadow. His
head was now perfectly clear; and
his first thought was of getting him
self back to the canoe. With excru
ciating effort he dragged himself &c
the edge of the terrace and looked
down The descent at this point was
all but perpendicular for perhaps a
hundred feet. In full possession of his
powers, he would find it difficult
enough. In his present state, he saw
clearly that he might just as vel
throw himself over as attempt it.
Not yet disheartened, however, he
dragged himself slowly toward the
other end of the terrace, where th'
young eagle sat watching him. AS ht
approached, the bird lifted its wings

hand-length of wire, and then tether-

of his double and twisted coru.

flashed across his mind that = was

He had just time to fling hinself

of that lightning descent lifted his
ears Involuntarily he half closed his
eyes. But no shock came, except
a great buffet OF air on his face. Not
quite daring to grapple with that
ready defense, the eagle had opened
its wings when within few feet OF
the ledge, and swerved upward again,
where it hung lowering and scream
male, and shook his fist at her in de-
fiance. Had it been his old acquaint-
ance and challenger, the male, he felt
sure that he would not have got off
so easily.
Puzzled and alarmed, the mother
now perched herself beside the other
eaglet, on the edge of the nest.
Then, keeping careful eye upon
her, lest she should return to the at
tack, Horner deXteriously unrolled
the shirt, and drew back just in
time to avoid a vicious slash from
the talons of his indignant prisoner
The latter, after some violent strug

The Value of Trees.

A progressive mercantile establish
ment in Houston, Texas, has donated
10000 trees, which will be set out
this spring by the school children.
What the trees will mean to the
city twenty-five years from now is
beyond computation.
The money value added to the prop.
erty will amount to thousands and the
pleasure and satisfaction the people
will gain from miles of shaded streets
and avenues cannot be estimated.
The quaint New England city, New
Haven, is chiefly remembered be-
cause of the stately elms that line
it's streets. These elms were planted
long ago when the city was of little
consequence save as a college town.
For awhile the planting of trees was
neglected in the commercial growth
of the town, but now the people
have awakened to the value of the
trees, and one citizen has offered 90,
900 shade trees-one for each child
in the public schools-towards re

Funds will very soon be coming back
more freely from the interior and con-
siderable American money is still en-
ployed in Europe, where it can be re-
called when necessary. The situa-
ton abroad is generally satisfactory.
Trade is more active in both England
and Germany, and this in time should
help the United States. Our export
trade reflects this condition and con-
tinues active, with the foreign de-
mand for American steel products
still continuing a marked feature.
Our own iron trade continues active
and there are no signs OF abatement.
Big orders for rails are coming in,
and our car shops are over-crowded
with orders. Prices are slightly firm
er and about so per cent of the total
capacity is fully employed. Those
best informed predict continued i'm
provement. in the iron trade, the rail-
roads from sheer necessity being
heavy buyers. ..
Concerning the immediate future
| of the market, we would advise eau
ton. In the active stocks there has
now been an average rise since the
low point of last September of about
10 points and considerably more in a
number of the specialties. During
the weeks there have been signs of
realizing, and it must not be overlook
ed that stocks have been passing
from strong into weaker hands. Facts
of some significance regarding the
ownership of our principal railroads
and industrials have been published
this week They showed that 234
railroad and industrial concerns with
a combined capital of $10,700,0O0, O0C
were owned by about 100000 stock
4 holders, their average holdings being
about 1O9 shares. The significant fea
ture of this statement, however, was
that on an increase of only 1 IL pei
cent In, capital reported there was ar
increase of Z per cent in the numbe'
of stockholders. This rapid increase
in the percentage Of owners compar
J ed with the small percentage of in
crease in capital suggests wider dis

course, there will be sharp curtall-
ment in acreage during the coming
spring, and the cotton left over must
be carried either by the grower, man
ufacturer or Spectator to make good
any possible deficiency next year.
The low price cotton is naturally a
serious disappointment to the South.
The losses from this cause, however,
are evidently being exaggerated, and
according to the report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture will not aggre-
gate much over s15o.Oo0,OoO compar'
ed with last year. That crop, how
ever was a record one In value, and
this years crop in value will prob
ably be much above the average. Sc
all stories of Southern losses and con
sequent agitations should be received
with corresponding reserve.
The money situation Is reasonably
satisfactory. Some slight stringency
may develop towards the close of the
year but this win be only temporary
