Galleon frowned. "If he can't ex-

Messmer went out with that mes
sage, though he softened It somewhat.
Young Kelvin had evidently expected
such an answer. for he smiled and
turned to the negro.

CHAPTER 1.

IT was shortly after O'Clock
when a brisk young man stepped
out Of a taxicab into the dim
4 crevice Of Broad street, followed
by a huge negro bearing a suit case.
Nestled back amid a number of alleged
brokers. who dealt hilariously in such
securities" as Wireless Motor pre-
ferred. he found the Offices of Henry
Galleon & Co.. one of the few legit-
innate firms which, intrenched in their
own natural conservativeness, had re-
fused to move when the curb invasion
came.
'Mr. GalleonY' inquired the new
conner
Upon what business, please?" asked
an old clerk.
II only care to talk to Mr.. Galleon
himself"
The old man arose with a slight, pro-
testing frown. asked for card and
took 1t into an inner room.
Henry Galleon was about the same
age rs his secretary, but he was erect.
His face and his bald head were pink
with baby's pinkness, his white hair
glistened like silk, and the brightness
OF his eyes was almost infantile.
Phillip KelyinY he said. who's

and bronzed face, who was the Der.

Galieon pushed forward the slip Of
paper which Kelvin had Just given
him. Selling orders for the first
thing this morning at the MARKET he
explained.
The young man paid no attention to
the slip. "Why. hello, Phillm he ex

mer peremptorily. "Why don't you
show the young gentleman in?" he de-
manded.
He inspected young Kelvin sharply
as Phillip came into the room and
found him to be a well dressed, clean
looking chap. with an extremely clear
eye and an extremely healthy COM
plexion.
"Your letters Of recommendation are
perfectly satisfactory, Mr.. Kelvin"
said the broker, smiling. what can
we do for you?"
Young Kelvin opened the suit case
and took from 1t eight packages Of
bills, which he counted over carefully.
Here is 100000" said he. IT wish
you to sell for me thousand shares
each Of these four stocks" He laid a
slip of paper upon Mr.. Galleon's desk.
The broker instantly figured that the
suit case must contain not less than
100000 cash.
"Of course. Mr.. Kelvin. It is none Of
my affair."" he began hesitantly, but
it is positively criminal Of you to be
carrying that enormous amount of
currency about with you. 1t ought to
be banked"
ut is one Of the strict conditions of
my dealing with you that our opera
tons are to be transacted in currency.

"But it is dangerous" insisted Mr..
Galleon.
Phillip smiled. Ordinarily, yes" he
admitted, but in the present juncture
I consider banks much more danger.

II have deposit boxes In the best
vaults in town."
Then I must insist that you keep
this cash under your own lock and
key. Use no more than $50 per share
for initial margins and hold the bal
ance In reserve"
Galleon frowned. There prevails at
present a peculiar condition which
you may not understand. Mr.. Kelvin.

street While the market Is sluggish,
money is very tight. a most rare and
unusual state Of affairs. It would be
folly to let this amount Of cash lie

unusual rate"

No Amount

or quantity Of medicine will stop
the decline of the nervous system when
the eyes are at cause. People, as a
rule don't think the eyes are at fault
(when they are) if their eyes do not
pain, ache or water.
Some Of the worst eye defects known
never show symptoms in the eyes; but
usually in reflex trouble such as sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness, a
tired languid feeling from no cause
apparently and very often in stomach
trouble.
Children, as we'll as grown people
are affected with these troubles be-
cause Of hereditary eye troubles trans
mitted from parents and from eye de-
fects brought on by excessive use of
the eyes at school and night studying.
Positive proof from actual experience
and experiments have shown the above
to be true and not theory or imagina-
ton. The eyes play larger part in
the health and sickness of people than
the average person believes. If you

practically nothing where corn costs
great deal of money. That means
we should feed the pig water. Here.
again. is one of the answers to the
question why the fall pig does not
prove so profitable. simply because the
weather is cold. The cold weather
does not allow the pig to drink enough
water. He loses his appetite for water
and won't drink enough when you
give him dry feed and turn him loose
at the water trough.
If the pigs won't drink enough wa
ter make the feed into slop and
make them drink it. In summer we
have the other phase of the trouble
they drink too much. The fact they
drink too much in the summer Is not
as bad as the fact they drink too little
in the winter.
Nine-tenths of all the scrubby pigs
and runts are so because they are
overfed and not fed properly. They
are often overfed on protein. There
is no quicker way to make runt or
crippled pig or to kill him in fact than
to overfeed him on protein. Yet it is
absolutely necessary to feed your
growing pigs on protein. When they
are full grown they do not need much
protein.
/ have spent good share Of the past
six years at the station working out
how to feed properly. We have pub
lished part of it in circular form-cir-
culars 126 and 1873. They give the
quantities according to maximum gain
that is. when pigs are being fattened
for market One should never feed
more than seven-tenths of n pound of
digestible crude protein per 100 pounds
live weight. between six and seven
tenths pounds for pigs going to mar
ket to have them finished at eight
months old. In the case of pigs for
breeding purposes think they should
be fed one-tenth less. never getting
above siX-tenths of a pound.
The amount Of water necessary is
also given in these circulars. A pig
that is started at two months of age
at weaving time should have twelve
pounds of water for every 100 pounds

During a season when typhoid fever
seems to be more prevalent than for
many years it Is worth while repeating
some of the precautions given in these
notes SOM months ago. The chief
sources of Infection are through food
and liquids taken into the system, and
of these the most prolific are drinking
water, milk and oysters which come
from beds where city sewage is
dumped. The only way TO be on the
safe side is to boil all water and milk
used and to thoroughly cook oysters
and any other article of food that
might contain the germs. Another pre-
caution of equal Importance where
there is typhoid patient in the house
Is the use of the utmost care in disin-
fecting all of the patients sputa. ex-
creta and urine. These are not pleas
ant things to talk about. but many a
life has been lost from this scourge
through lack of proper attention to
these simple Precautions.
The writer has had occasion of late
to make inquiry into the rating of
some young men who have been desir-
Gus of securing loans of banking
houses. and IL Is interesting as well as
instructive to note some of the factors
which the average banker takes into
account before extending a loan.
Among these may be mentioned the
amount of money which the prospec-
tive borrower has saved-in other
words, his present financial status An
other and very important considera-
ton, linked with the above and deter
mining 1t. is the habit which one has
acquired in the handling Of his earn
lngs. whether saving them or spending
them carelessly without thought Of
the future. Another Is the habits
which the prospective borrower has ac-
quired along the line Of steadiness,
push and promptness I'm meeting obi
cations assumed. 1t Is due to these
and other reasons why one man can
get an accommodation at q bank and
others cannot. and II Is a pity that
more young men do not realize the fact
early In their career when the acquir-
ing of habits of industry and thrift
will mean ultimately success or failure
In business way. The lack In such
fellows is that they have little ambi-
ton to be anything and have nothing
In the future toward which they are
working theoretically and with a well
defined purpose.

across an instance of the latter kind
the other day. 1t had to- do with n

his hand ut short cut, so intercepted
a nine dollar money order, forged it.
and at the present writing he is in

the authorities to consent to compr0-
mise: otherwise he is likely to do two
or three years in the pen. It's a

counted on bids fair to be much longer
and much more difficult than he
thought.

DAIRY WISDOM.

"More dairy cows. better feed
and more butter fat" is a good
motto for every farmer.
When one takes into consider
alton the difficulty in buying sat
isfactory cows there Is little
question that under nearly all
) conditions 1t pays to raise well
bred heifers as a basis for
; maintenance and improvement
Of the dairy herd.
The COW eats today and she
. pays for her feed at tonight's
milking. No other farm animal
. gives such prompt return for
feed and labor. That is one rea-
. son why herd Of dairy cows
should be on every farm.
! Your winter COW is always the
most profitable. and 1T must be
remembered that she needs the
best of care In order to yield
most literally.
. Alfalfa and clover are the best
dry feeds there are for the cow.
Timothy hay Is splendid to sell.
The dairy COW Is the founda-
ton Of all soil improvement and
farm property. and no other line
/ of farming Is so well adapted to
the development of the highest
/ manhood and citizenship.

pruncd during the winter or early
spring months If the object Is the en-

building of II proper frame. If the
trees are old enough to bear and one
wishes to induce such result the
pruning should be deferred until mid
