was holdin' himself steady. Steady
that's the very word for him. 1t was in
the way he acted, and it was in his looks.
He was real well built, and he had one of
these steady chins and a couple of steady
eyes, and steady way of goin' after
what he wanted. After while, when he
took to ridin over pretty steady on Sun
days to see old Clay's girl, you could hear
the women sayin' what real good, safe
kind of man he was, and just the one
to sort of steady Molly down.
SHE wasn't needin' it, far as could see.
She suited me just the way she was.
She'd have suited most any man. That
was nothin but the women's way of
talkin' about her. You let the women see
girl like her behavn the way they'd
all like to behave if they could, and they'll
say she needs tonin' down. There WASH
a thing the matter with her, only she
stepped high and held her head high.
That was the youngness of her, and old
Clay's proudness in havin' girl that
could show class. He hadn't been amin
to tone her down; he'd been keepin her
keyed up and givin' her all the chance
there was in the world for shown what
there was in her. He'd had lot of
class himself in his time, and he relished
it heap in other folks. The women
would say that he'd been takn' long
chances with the girl since he'd had all
her bringin up to look after-her mother
had been dead for years and years;
but they couldn't make him take any
stock in that.
"A blooded girl he'd say, "is just like
any other kind of blooded critter. Their
spirit has got to be nourished if they're
goin to turn out credit to you.
There wasn't anybody that seemed
able to find out what Clay thought
about the Sid Foster proposition. He
wasn't sayin'. tried it myself once, but
| didn't get very far. That was one time
when | happened to be with old Clay,
and Sid and Molly happened to be goin'
by on horseback.

the first train out of the Stock Exchange
atmosphere. But that is just what they
will not do. 1t will be the story of the
1901 madness all over again AT that
time Northern Pacific was hoisted to
$1,000 IA share, and two or three million
shares of stocks We're being churned over
in the market every twenty-four hours.
And then-the bubble burst Then the
newly made fortunes disappeared like
mist, and the whole mob of office-boys
and manicure girls and boy wonders and
poor deluded rural plungers who had
mortgaged their goods to make their ever
lasting fortunes overnight, came back to
earth.
One case is enough to cover the whole
situation. In 1900 there was young
fellow getting Sl2 week for marking up
quotations on board in brokers' Office
He bought Reading Railroad at SIS
share, and "pyramided" his winnings as
the stock advanced. At the beginning of
May, 1901, he was "long" 5000 shares of
Reading. and it was then $45 share, and
still giving no signs of weakness. With u
pencil you can figure what he was worth
at that moment. There seemed to be
nothing that could keep him from becom-
ing millionaire On May 9 the market
was shot to pieces. The insiders, who
We're fighting like hyenas over their prey,
suddenly came to terms like gentlemen;
and this prospective magnate was cleaned
out in half an hour. In the latter part of
that summer he was arrested as a hobo
while sleeping in an uptown park.

and, failing to realize on this ambition,
threw up his job He had saved little
money, and being endowed with a pre-
dilecton for taking chances, decided to
go into the market, in which the war
stocks We're just then beginning their
big upward swerve. Not being familiar
with the Street, he had recourse to his
own judgment, which ninety times out
of hundred in a sane condition of the
stock market, would have been his ruin.
But what impellcd him was the simple
printed statement that the American
Locomotive Company was going to get a
contract for war material of $75,OOO, 600.
Now, the peculiar thing about the
present war-stock rush has been that
most rumors have been true, most tips
have been good, and the silly sheep have
for once in their lives made money, when
the cautious operators, satisfied with
small profits, have guessed wrong and
lost money.
The young artist bought American Lo-
comotive at 81, sold at 67, and with his
winnings plunged wildly into the curb
stocks that We're going up. He says he
had just $500 when he started, and he
figures that if he should quit now he
would be able to bank nearly SS5 900.
At the time of writing he had been just
four weeks in the market.
An elevator "boy"-he is really a
middle-aged man-who ordinarily leads
an up-and-down life in an Office building
on Nassau Street overheard two we'll
known fnanciers speaking of a war order
hnlnD
negotiated, He scraped together every
cent he could muster, found that he had
enough for a margin on 1000 shares, and

plunged. News of the consummation of
the stock began to rise rapidly. When it
had made gain of seventy-fve points,
the "boy' sold out, and at once plunged
with his whole winnings into two other
stocks that We're jumping. AT the present
time the original thousand dollars has
grown to at least 100000, and the ele-
vator has faded into the dim background
of the past. The new magnate has waded
deep into the mysteries of the Street. and
declares that he will be worth million
or will quit dead broke. Judging by past
performances, the latter contingency is
the one the speculator has to fear.

inghouse. These three stocks began to
climb, and the physicians fortune grew
at such rate that he let his regular work
go by the board and glued his eyes to the
ticker. And now, it is said, though the
man is worth considerably more than
million dollars, he is so far from quitting
the game that he is being watched by
friends who suspect that his enormous
winnings have unbalanced his mind.
Then, there is the old lady in the
Middle West who has been a small long
distance client of a certain Stock Ex-
change house for years. Perhaps, in all
the years of her petty speculation, she has
dreamed of this one big year when she
would "clean up" overnight. Well, she
has wished huge fortune on herself. As
the stocks in which she was concerned
have risen higher and higher, her orders
have been bigger and bigger and more
peremptory. One day she teegraphed an
order to buy 300 shares of Bethlehem
Steel at 10. The brokers, thinking the
profits might have gone to her head and
that she was coming too strong, wired
back a friendly warning, and intimated
that they would hold the order for sober
second thought. Back came tart mes
sage: Il did not ask for advice; | want
an order executed" She got the 300
shares at 10, and on the afternoon of the
following day she had made $500 on the
stock.

just happened that way. He wasn't

a plenty guess he was just siftin' round

ticular. But there he was.
The first knew about him was one
night at Lusk when he got mixed up with
some of us at draw. That's what made
me first take to likin' him. That boy
could take hand and clear forget what
he was hodin', and then just absorb your

or twice, and after that | couldn't quit

so fond of, either. | expect it would have
bothered n person to locate his goodness
the sort of goodness Sid Foster had.
Nor you wouldn't have wanted to call him
a wicked man, either. That's what makes
it SO interestin. That's the very thing
I'm aimin' to tell you. Sid Foster was
keepin' every blessed one of the rules for
goodness, far us we knew, and Paul wasn't
secmin' to pay speck of attention to any
of EN-. That sounds as if it would be
awful easy to pick out which was the good
man, don't it? All right; but you just
wait till tell you.
Paul hadn't been in Lusk week till he
knew just where all the nice girls We're,
thirty miles round. That was another
thing that made me strong for him. There
ain anything that shows better judgment

Old Clay took a solemn, comical sort of
sideways squint at me. and then he give
a slow chuckle. You always had to make
two or three remarks to him, if it was
anything important, before he'd start to
answer the first one.
"He's a perfectly nice man, Sid is" |
says.
Clay stuffed the ashes down in his pipe
with the end of his finger and felt for a
match to get a new light.
"He's always had good reputation"
l says.
"Yes,' says Clay; they're nice
lookin' couple"
"And Sid must be pretty well fixed by

That's as much as he ever would say.
Nor it didn't look as if he was ever gon'

keep out of the way and give Sid fair
show.
Sid wasn't the only one, though-not
by several. That girl could have had
her pick any time out of q right fair

looked like the best bet till Paul Stranc

your life, what makes the difference
between good man and a bad one.
No, you cant! 1t gets too complicated.
Yes, ! know there's folks that'll give
you mess of easy little rules for it;
but the trouble with the rules is that
they won't work. There amt any rules
for the kind of goodness that makes a
good man.
I'm thnkin' about Sid Foster and a
couple of others. When Sid was around,
body didn't seem to need to bother
about the rules. Sid was plumb good.
He must have been born that way, or else
he'd learned it awful young. He'd been
good boy when he come to the Lusk
country and he'd been gettin' better and
better for as much as ten years. If you've
ever tried it, you know mighty well that
ten years is terrible long time for man
to stay respectable and nice; but Sid had
worked it, He'd never done a single thing
you could put your finger on that wasn't
perfectly proper. You didn't have to
stretch things bit when you called him
good.
He'd been good at gettn' ahead, too.

pay wasn't hardly enough to be noticed;

pinch off just the least little mite he just
had to have for clothes, and then he'd
take the rest and buy a few head of eve
sheep and turn 'em with one of old Clays
punches. He didn't ever do another
blessed thing with his money but that.
You know how eve sheep will sort of ac-
cumulate on you if you're lucky 1t

band of his own; and then he quit old

that they just piled up. BY the time he

A $4,000 Baby

ABOUT the time Bethlehem Steel was
selling at is, which was before Mr.
Schwab had shown his managing skill, a
thoughtful father of two-months-old
infant bought 1000 shares of the stock
and presented it to the baby. The baby
would have preferred a rattle, and there
was no means of knowing, at the time,
that rattle wouldn't have turned out to
be about as substantial a gift But the
father, who took occasional chances in
the Street himself believed in Schwab.
At the present price of Bethlehem Steel
the thousand-share bundle makes the
baby worth about S5OO,OOO.

Readings mayor genially discussed
the methods of third class city coun-

PENTATHLON FOR

Field to Develop All-Round
Man

Carlisle. Pa, June 2. - Additional
earnestness and zeal has been enthused
Into the track candidates at Dickinson
owing to the announcement by Coach
Craver of a proposed "pentathlon" to
be held on Biddie Field next Saturday.
In which Dickinson men only partici-

high and broad jumps, discus. 22o-
yard low hurdles and the 220-yard
dash. The pick of the Red and White

that Dickinson will acquit herself

The return of Walters, the regular
shortstop. to the lineup has been the
source of much encouragement to the
authorities. Walters was absent for
four weeks owing to a sprained ankle
received during the practices. The
return of Walters to shortstop will
tkrobably shift Spong to the outfieid.
although he will be used undoubtedly
as utility player. George Moose, who
was brought in from the outfield at
the commencement of the season. has
developed into a seasoned player at
said position. his hitting and fielding
being one of the greatest assets to
the team.
