CHAPTER VIII.
The Old Watch.Tower.

A wall! A Window prison-like
interior AS her eyes opened, the
Governors daughter strove confusedly
to decipher her surroundings. Tho
wall seemed real; the narrow window,
too, high above, framing, against a
darkening background, a slant of fine
rain! Again she closed her eyes, only
to be conscious of a gentle languor;
a heaviness like that OF half-sleep; OF
bodily heat, and also a little bodily
pain. For an indefinite period really
a moment or two. she resigned herself
TO that dreamy torpor; then, with an
effort, lifted her lashes once more.
AS she gazed before her, something
bright seemed leaping back and forth;
a flame-that played on the wall; re-
vealing the joints between the stones
of massive masonry; casting shadows,
but to wipe them out; paling near a
small window, the only aperture ap-
parent in the cell-like place Turning
from the chickering's, her glance quick
ly sought their source-a fire in
hearth, before which she lay-or half
sat, propped against a stone,
But why? The spot was strange; in
her ears sounded buzzing, like the
murmur of a waterfall She remem-
bered now; she had fingered before
one-in the woods; and Saladin had

his hands, long, brown and we'll

many jagged marks as from a fierce
struggle. "How did you hurt your
hands?"
He thrust them into his pockets.
"Was it from the rocks-and the
waves? How did I get here?"

answered carelessly. "and-saw your

"You did? And then-came DOWN."
"What else was there to do?" he
said simply.

The marquis stopped; drew from his

upward, gracefully kissed the glowing
token. Beneath the aureole Of golden
hair my lady's proud face rewarded
him with a faint smile, and some
thing-a tiny dkerchief-tuttered
like a dove above the froWning, time

gesture of troubadour, he threw
his arm backward, as if to launch the

by way of makeshift for gaiety, sub

exploration, and for several days she
devoted herself to its study; now
pausing for an instant's contemplation
of a sculptured thing of beauty, then
before some closed door that held her,
as at the threshold OF Bluebeard's
forbidden chamber.
One day, such a door stood open
and her curiosity became cured. She
had passed beneath a machicolated
gateway, and climbing a stairway
that began in watch-tower, found
herself unexpectedly on a great plat

and they vanished through a trap

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
A WAITING ATTITUDE.
Trading Public Leaving Market Activ-
 Ity to Professionals.

New York; May S-FTom start to finish today's stock market was dull and negligible affair. Trading was light and plainly professional, and for hours the market manifested no def1- nite trend. When it occasionally aWak- ened from it's torpor prices were in clined to sag, but aside from some of the leaders, particularly Reading, whose course was somewhat cratic, the movement was more than ordina- rily circumscribed.
 The day brought no developments but the unsettled undertone bespoke a waiting attitude on the part of the trading public. Vest erday's report of the government on the crop situation formed the basis of some discussion, the consensus of opinion being that the outlook respecting agricultural conditions is at least uncertain. There romadns little room for doubt thar winter wheat has suffered irreparable damage, some of which may be made up in the spring product.
 The copper producers submitted their report for April, but the statement was of little importance aside from disclosing a decided increase in the quantity of metal on hand. the result, primarily, of 8 falling off in foreign demand.
 Apart from a sudden break in Illinois Central, which probably was due to damages sustained by the Mississippi floods. the market showed general i'm provement and greater activity in the last hour.
 The bond market was irregular and narrow. Wabash fours lost some of yesterdays rise. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,019,00O.
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call.

Brains Worth More Than Brawn.

Brains plays as important 6 part as brawn in a wrestling contest Wrest- ling history shows that some of the greatest men the mat game has ever known have been small men, compara- lively speaking, notably Tom Connors, a midget to whom all sized men looked alike when he was in his prime. The same held true of Matsadi Soral0ichi, the wonderful little Jap, well remem- bered by the mat fans of a generation ago. Later came Dan Mcleod, a true middleweight, who defeated Gotch, Jenkins and others, and was at one time the worlds champion. Farmer Burns never went over ITO pounds and Fred Beell, who weighs less than that can concede weight to opponents and beat them with ease. Americus is re- garded as the best light heavyweight the world has ever seen. and it is only recently that he has approached the 200 pound mark, and most of his wrestling has been at 1S0 pounds

As the teams are evenly matched g, close and interesting game is looked for. In his lineup Mana ger Farrell has Rfnfi, the star catcher of last year; Lefty Nc Kay and Sheroux, a former Moosup star.

Manager Farrell has signed Ber<tt, the well known pitcher, and feels confident that he will show the All Stars some fancy twiriing.
