manly little fellow of six, who took care of the three-year-old baby in a responsible manner. When the chill dren started home he walked with them. When he turned in the garden gate the boy led the little one on, but she hung back. saying positively: 'Iss is where I live" She was sobbng dolefully when the brother finally per suaded her to go on.
 Mcdonald was puzzled. He sat down on garden seat to think it out. He had not asked the children their names or where they lived. Undoubt- edly they knew Mrs. Burt, perhaps were related, and in the habit of com ing often. But why, then, had he not seen them in the six weeks he had been there? He suddenly remem- bered his abrupt question on the day he had taken the rooms. Could it be that she thought he hated all chil- dren?
 His reflections were interrupted by a whisper behind him. Looking around, he saw the two children com ing down the walk. When they saw him the little lad stopped and looked as if he were about to run away. Mcdonald arose and, taking a child in each hand. led them to the door
 Mrs. Burt met them at the door. She was very pale and her hands were trembling, but she held up her head and looked straight in his eyes.
 Who are these children?"
 They are mine"
 Good heavens, Where have. they been all this timer"
 They've stayed upstairs when you were in the house. Oh! I know what you must think of me for deceiving you this way. And I haven't had a peaceful moment since 1 did it. But l knew when you asked me that you wouldn't take the room if there were children here. Taxes were due, and l needed the money so badly. I knew you would pay. and l couldn't bear to see you go You see the children are very quiet. Their father-wasn' very fond of children. either. and

M'D0NALD'S DISCOVERY
By BELLA M. WALTERS.

The prospective boarder was mak- reflecting upon the housekeeper. Most women would have resented it, but this timid little widow was so anxious to get the boarder who would pay in advance that she answered his questions meekly.
 And now, madam, are there any children in the house?" he concluded.
 The little widow hesitated for an instant and then said; No, sir
 Il think, then, I'll take the room"
 The next day he moved into the room. He found the first week that the breakfasts were going to suit, and the widow. instead of being talkative and inquisitive. was very quiet.
 After the first few weeks of satis- faction and self-congratulation he be- gan to notice little Mrs. Burt She was good to look upon and we'll worth any mans notice.
 Coming home one day he saw two children playing under a tree in Mrs Burt's garden. He thought they must be trespassers for, when he opened the gate, the boy started up with a look of terror and seized the wee sis ter by the hand
 Hello, youngsters" said McDork aid, stopping to pat the baby's curls
 Hello" said the boy
 Does Mrs. Burt let you play here@' he questioned. for the lad seemed anx- ious to be gone.
 Yes, sir, but l must go now" was the answer, and they hurried away.
 The next day he saw the same chil. dren as he was coming through the little park on his way home. He sat down on bench beside them, and put forth all his arts of entertainment to interest them. The boy was a

MACHINE FUR HOUSE VOTES
WALSH, OF NEW JERSEY, ENGI.
 NEER, OUTLINES SCHEME.
Proposes Big Score Board" to Hang Over Speakers Head Which Would
 Record Action and Save Time.

Washington, July 24-If Represent ative Walsh of New Jersey, has his way, in a scheme he has framed for saving time in the workings of the house. great electric legislative score board will be hung over Speak. CT Clark's desk. Walsh proposes that the house shall discard the time-hon. ored manner of voting vocally and that the members shall vote by electricity hereafter. Here is his plan as out lined to the house rules committee:
 The plan which now have in mind is to have a bulletin board in some convenient place in the house, prefer. ably over the speakers head, on which the name of every member will appear in alphabetical order sufficient ly conspicuous to be read from any part of the chamber of gallery.
 At one end of each members name there would be q small red bull S.. eye lens, behind which there would be an electric lamp, and at the other end of each members name tbere would be a similar lens of different color, say, for instance, dark blue, be. hind which there would also be an electric lamp
 "At every members seat there would be a double point lock key switch and no switch could be oper, ated by any other than the members own key. When the vote would be called for each member would insert his key into the switch and turn it oAa way to turn on the read light which would indicate Yes and the other way to turn on the blue light

It also was pointed out that the Argen-

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Improved Prospects for Peace
Reflected on London and
Other Bourses.

LONDON. March 1.-THE stock market
was weak early in the week. but later q
more cheerful tendency developed and
the closing was steady at fair recovery
in values The monetary situation In
Berlin and heavy selling from that quar-
ter caused renewed uneasiness which
was accentuated by fears OF financial
trouble. owing to the dear carry-over
rate for the settlement here. The settle
ment, however. was concluded satisfac-
torily.
The understanding that Austria and
Russia intend to demobilize and the be-
lief that peace In the Balkans is getting
nearer created more confident feeling
and helped gradual Improvement in the
foreign and British sections. Consols
closed practically unchanged. while home
rails had the assistance OF fine traffic
reports and fresh investment buying The
feature in the mining section was the
slump In Australian copper stocks, Mount
Elliot shares falling 2x points, owing to
reports OF the suspension of production
due to a fire in the mine.
American securities were temporarily
weak on the gold exports. Then the mar
ket recovered in sympathy with the
strength In other sections, but the I'M
Certainty felt over the Hartman disso-
tuition plans and fears of poor New
York bank statement caused prices to
ease on again. Values closed unchanged
to points lower.
The monetary situation was quite acute
early on the continental armament ques-
ton and the German gold demands,
which hardened discounts. but rates eased
on later with the improved continental
outlook Cash supplies, however, are
still scarce, owing to the revenue collec-
tons.

The Financier will say:
.The clearing house banks Of New York
made an unexpectedly good showing Tor
the week ending March 10, the statement
based on actual conditions having re-
vealed gain in surplus OF s. S83. 200.
This strengthening of reserve was
brought about by a continued process OF
shifting loans to outside institutions. the
decrease In that item for the current
week having been 22.201 900. This was
responsible in large part for the reduc-
ton of $26.2O2, 600 In deposits, and as de-
creased deposits Of course mean smaller
reserve requirements, the gain in reserve
is easily accounted for.
$50 far as actual cash position Is con-
cerned, the banks gained from the in
terror but lost heavily to the subtreas-
ury. The net results for the week. how
ever, seem to have been almost an exact
balance on these two transactions. The
banks reported q nominal decrease OF

ent surplus above the. Is per cent mini
mum stands at $0.23745O, az against less

Fluctuations Are Fractional
and the Trading Is
Slow.
SPECTATORS HESITATE
TO TAKE ACTIVE SIDES
Union Pacific Sold at the Close as
Result Of the Hartman
Lines Tangle.

NEW YORK, March 15.-Fluctuations
Of the important stocks today were con-
fined within fractional limits. Trading
was unusually light. and operators
seemed to take little interest in the
market.
The opening was on slightly lower
level. with Southern Pacific touching its
bottom price of yesterday, and New
Haven making a further decline to
11Sk, another low record for the last
generation. Goodrich also weakened
again, slumping points to 31h. The
market as a whole was little affected
by these stocks, and losses were soon
made up.
Heavy at the Close.
just before the end Of the day made
the closing heavy.
The narrowness of the movements
and the reluctance Of spectators to
take position on either side Of the
market reflected the uncertainty which
prevailed regarding various matters
which hung over the market. In par
ticular the Hartman tangle was con-
fusing. 1t was not until shortly before
the close Of the market that word was
received of Chairman Lovett's announce
ment that the modified dissolution plan
could not be put through. This news
was responsible for the selling of Union
Pacific in the last few minutes.
Banks Make Good Showing.
The banks made an Unexpectedly good
showing. The cash loss at the close
of the week was less than $4,000, 900.
Loans were scaled down heavily, and
the poor position Of the banks last week
was corrected, there being an increase
of nearly 100000 in excess reserves.
