taciturn. his face deeply thoughtful Had
Ten Spot come? What had bsen the
outcome OF the meeting? These ques-
lions preyed on his mind and brought
burrows into his face.
At supper he caught Norton watch

for he felt that In spite Of Holiis's or
der TO sayi nothing to Norton he should
have told. lie had already informed
Norton that Hollis intended remaining
In Dry Bottom until q later hour than
usual. but he had said nothing about
the intended visit OF Ten Spot to che
Kicker Office.
Loyalty to Hollis kept him from
communicating to Norton his fears
for Hots's safety. II was now too
late to do anything n he did tell Nor
ton: whatever had been done had been
done already and there was nothing
for him to do but TO wait until
o'clock.
After he finished his meal he drew
a chair out upon the gallery and piac-

light enough to see quite a little dis
lance down the Dry Bottom trail and
there were stlll no signs of Hollis, he
blurted out the story OF the days &C.

The Information acted upon Norton
like an electric shock. He was on his
feet before Potter had finished speak,
ing. grasping him by the shoulders and
shaking him roughly
why didn't you say something be-

leave him? Wasn't there somebody In
Dry Bottom that you could have sent
out here to tell me?" He cursed
harshly. Ten spots got him" he de-
clared sharply, his eyes gltteriny saw

concluding he was down on the gallery

In the eyes OF the law she was merely

she had been "pinched' as such. But
her conscience was as clear as the eye

NEW YORK, Aug. "a. Financial
America Monday will say:
Politics was injected again into the
speculative situation last week and as
usual gave the market enough OF a
shock to force declines ranging from
5 to points. There was at one time
during the week moderate Roosevelt
scare which was reasonably based on
knowledge of results of aggressive
work by the leading components of the
new party. The character of the legis-
lation in congress as the session ap-
preached its end was also disquieting,
especially the action taken on the Pan
anna canal toll bill, when both houses
insisted on the, provision prohibiting
railway-owned ships from using the
canal. This was in line with railway
antagonism which has been exhibited
for so many years in the national and
state legislative bodies. It's first effect
was to force the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Co. to cancel contracts for con
struction of number of up to date
ships, and it was feared that a later
influence would be effective in dis
banding the transportation arrange
ments of the New Haven and other
railway companies. Uneasiness ove1
these disappointments may quickly
disappear and the financial world show
a disposition to accept existing con
ditions although at first they may dc
SO with poor grace.

Small Boy Worked Well With
RecaIcitrant Mule.

A mule drawing a furniture van
down Broadway got tired of the job
and lay down. Soon crowd gathered
and ventured all manner of advice to
the driver, relates the New York
Times.
Louis Scheff, an electrician, of 152
Amsterdam avenue, suggested that
twisting the mules ears would force
1t to rise, and put his idea into prac-
tice, but Intellectually, while the crowd
shouted Whisper in It's ear
Scheff next tried pulling the mules
tail. Mrs. Anna Schott of 304 Omster-
dam avenue, passenger on a Broad
way surface car, who is a member of
the Humane society, construed the
electricians efforts as cruelty and had
Scheff arrested.
Detective Sharp Of the West Sixty
eighth Street station, who comes from
the south and knows mules, took one
look at the fallen mule and said:
you'll never get that mule up-its
lying on its left side"
Whats that got to do with it?" de
manded the driver.
Everything" replied Sharp.
Ropes were tied to the mules hoofs
and 1t was turned over on its righ'
side. Sharp gently kicked the ANNA
in the side and it scrambled to it;
