 Consols advanced three-eights and home rails were benefited by the governments statement that bill will be introduced il the House of Commons permitting the roads to raise freight rates, while dia- mond and copper shares and continental favorites felt the effect of more confi- dent Paris and Berlin purchases. but the improvement was lost at the end of the week on realizing induced by fears of international complications, arising from the attitude of Austria and Russia re- gaiding the Balkan situation. Speeula- tcrs were especially active in reducing their commitments, and the market closed today uncertain, and much below the best point. Consols lost 5-16 of the early gain.
 American securities were stimulated by vigorous Wall street support and fully participated in the early improvement. but this was negatived later by the un- certain continental outlook and fears that the election of Governor Wilson means downward evision of the tariff. United States Steel lost points on the latter factor and Canadian Pacific fell points from the best on talk of strike, and Berlin selling, while Chicago Milwau- hes and St. Paul was exceptionally firm at a net advance of points,

AthIetically inclined though l haTe

was against a drug-weakened wretch
with fettered feet, found myself no
equal for his maniacal desperation.
Back and forth over the couch We
swayed in a silent death-struggle, my
cutoff breath all the while pounding
unpurified through my bursting lungs,
my brain turning weak, and my sight
growing din. was beaten. I knew
! could hold out but a few seconds
longer I saw nothing ahead Of me
but death--strangled to death by a
drug fiend.
There passed through my mind in
my struggles vivid picture of what
was about to happen. Young would
silently choke me to death. Silently
ne wonld hobble with his fettered feet
10 where Davis lay in the lean-to
sound asleep and brain him with a
blow. He would cast off his letters and
long before the constable would re-
turn to find our bodies would make
his escape on Rouser's bicycle. The
mystery OF the yellow letters never
would be explained. Poor Louise
Young's hands fell from my throat
and l staggered back gasping for
breath. 1 thought at first that the
strain had been too much for his drug
racked body, but soon saw what
had happened. His muscles had not
weakened, but his will. Standing
over him was Davis with revolver
pointed at his head Even before l
had recovered myself Davis had the
letters readjusted and the rope passed
through them.
Our lives were saved. The mystery
might yet be solved, despite my fool
hardness. I turned to the inspector
to express my gratitude, but dropping
the key of the shacbles. on the chair
where It had been before, he flung
himself down on the floor to resume
his interrupted sleep.
AS soon as my aching throat would
permit me to speak began making
abject apologies for my foolhardy con.
duct and trying to express my thanks,
but he would not listen to me.
~ guess you'll guard him safely
enough now" he said, and once more
was fast asleep.
With something of the feeling of
chastiscd school-boy who knows he
deserved far more than he got, l sat
down beside the couch and for four
long hours watched the struggles and
heard the curses and listened to the
entreatles of the drug-mad prisoner.
But now had no sympathy left for
him.

CLING TO OLD DESIGNATIONS
Sporting Language That Was Used In
the Middle Ages Is Still Good
Form Today.

Much of the language used in yari'
Gus sports is our Inheritance from the
middle ages. Different kinds of beasts
when in companies were distinguished
By their own particular epithet, which
was supposed to be in some manner
descriptive of the habits Of the ami.
mails. To use the wrong form OF these
words subjected the would-be sports
man to ridicule.
Many of these terms have passed
away, but some of them are still re.
tanned. This list from the middle
ages is still good usage today. A pride
of lions" "lope" of leoDards, a herd
Of harris and Of all sorts Of deer; q
"bevy" Of roses, "sloth" Of bears, a
singular" of hoars, "sounder" OF
wild swine, d route" Of wolves, a
''harras" of horses, ray" of colts,
a stud" Of mares, a pace" of asses.
barren" of mules, team" of oxen,
drove" of kline, a flock" of sheep,
4 "trite" Of goats, q "skulk'' OF foxes,
down" Of hares, next" of rab-
bits, a "clowder" of cats, "shrewd-
ness" of apes and labor" of mo!es.
Also Of animals when they retired
to rest. hart was said to be "har-
bored" roebuck "bedded," a hare
formed" Il rabbit set" Two grey
hounds were called brace" but two
barriers were called couple" There
was also a mute" Of hounds for a
number, kennel" of raches, a Tit
ter" Of whelps and a "cowardlce" Of
ours.
This kind of descriptive phraseology
was not confined to birds and beasts.
but was extended to the human spe-
c!es and the various propensities, ma
lures and callings.

The EortY-NIntff Hour.
him.


Two days-two unforgetable days
We passed there In the hut, Davis and
T and our self-tortured prisoner. Each
day the constable came and went, the
first day to tell us that the inspectors
plan for disposing Of the postmaster's
body had been successful and that no
SUSPICION had been aroused. The sec
ond day pleasanter mission brought
him to deliver kilograms from Gran
dali and Louise that all was we'll.
that the general was slowly inprov-
Ing and that Katharine was recover
ing rapidly
And ell the while Young lay there
bound, defying US, now cursing, now
pleading, now IN brilliant phrases
striving to convince US by logical ar
gumeats so deft, 50 forceful, so cum
ming that weaker and less wise man
than Davis might have been con-
WINGED by them.
His logic failing he would turn to
merciless invectiye and ribald THREATS,
his penetrating voice making the
whole hut .hldeous as he prophesled
for US both grotesque horrible deaths,
Misunderstanding punishments In this
world and the next. Then, overcome
once more by the Intensity of his I'M
satisfied desire for the drug that had
long been his master, he would moan
and plead and weep for morphine.
At times delusions would seize his
brain. BY the hour he would rave OF
beautiful cities and wonderfully fair
women and pleasant pastimes. Ma.
jestic lines Of poetry would flow from
his fevered lips, to end IN shrek OF
agony as his Quiver!ng, knotted mus
icles all but tore his nerves apart
Again the weird morphine fantasies
would take hold Of him and rush Of
horrible grotesdue ribaldries would
foul the cir.
At times he dozed, moaning In
agony even in his sleep. Three
times O. day we offered him food, end
once OF twice he took little water,
but the one thing only he craVed, the
one thing he hungered and thirsted
for was morphine, and that Davis
would not let him have, though all the
while It, lay there almost within his
reach, where he could see It.
And still he detied US.
But after forty-eight hours OF this
terrible torture nature would be put
off no longer. She demanded rest.
Young had sunk into a troubled, un-
easy sleep about seven IN the morn
ing. Davis and !, having spelled each
other as guards during the night, sat
talking about our prisoner. hap
pened to remark that it was d pity
that capital punishment could not re-
move such criminals as Young from
the earth. The inspector, in spite OF
the rigorous way ne had kept up the
torture. seemed to have strong SYM
pathy for Young.
