Forage and grasshoppers were pIenti-
full in the Cascades, so Peter concluded
to take the advice of Mrs. Gullas and let
go animals and turkeys care for them
selves for q month, while he ventured
out into the great world beyond Rock
spur.
Peter wandered into Wigrich camp
just as the picking season was about to
begin.
On the same day, Luci with a desire
to enlarge ner vision. coupled with her
firm determination to catch a husband

girl, also arrived in camp at Wigrich.
Peter was a young man 5 feet l inrI
tall, Weighed 10 pounds, wore a mas.
tache, gotee and burnside wiskers. Of
course he had never attended school a
day in his isolated. lonely life, up in the
mountains. He was decidedly timid,
ignorant, green and bashfuI, where wo-
men and girls were concerned, as he
had never seen but one before he ven
tured on this trip. He tried to shun
them.
The cards or just plain luck decveed
and ruled that Peter OIdstraw and Iuci
Jucifruitti should pick hops on adjoi0ing
rows
The first day they worked in silence.
Neither spoke to the other, Luci however
had cast many shy chances towards Pc
ter ahd his facial adornment, which she
admired.
Right after the noon hour on the sec
ond day, Peter dropped some hops into
Luci's basket and laughed. "hau hau

Luci spoke right up; Whats a ycur

Silence again reigned for q full hour,
when Luci again ventured

Profound silence again followed ano-
Their luii hour, when Peter burst out.

which was further stimulated by rela-
lively firm cables, a sharp advance
in the market for Egyptian cotton at
Alexandria. reports of further showers
in the Eastern belt and complaints OF
high temperatures in the Southwest.
October sold up to 1872. a new high
record for the season. The price at
tracted a good deal of realizing or
selling for q reaction. The market
eased off in consequence, October sell
ing around 1855, or within point or
two of yesterdays closing quotations,
during the first hour.
A private crop report placed the
condition at 1876 and the Indicated
crop at 14,S33,000 bales.
Reactions from the initial advance
carried the market back to about yes
terday's closing quotations, October
selling off to 1853 and January to
1888. A little Southern selling was
reported, as we'll as realizing, but OF
ferings tapered off at decline, ana
there was some buying later on bulllSh
features in the weekly report of the
Weather Bureau. This was sufficient
to steady prices and October was hold

general market showing net gains OF

Profit Taking Felt by Some
Stocks While Others Soar

patch to The Star.

Special DISpdJcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, July 20.-Unsettle-
ment prevailed throughout the greater
part Of today's session on the curb ex-
change. A number of recently proml-
nent fayorites which had been bid up
rather sharply felt the effect of profit
taking while others continued to move
forward into new high ground.
The sharp upturn in American Roll
ing Mills received an abrupt check
today and under heavy realizing the
price reacted at one time 5 points from
last nights final. Formal announce
ment was made of the acquisition OF
the Columbia Steel Company and the
FORGED Steel Wheel Co, the transac-
ton involving close to S20,O0O,o0o.
Trading started for the first time in
the new preferred stock of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Kali
road to be issued as the plan set
forth earlier in the week. Initial sales
we're recorded at 10S1a. American Road
Machine shares, whcih played pro1nl-
nent part in the recent speculation Tor
the rise, at the request OF the COM
pany, were removed from trading.
The persistent demand at new
prices for Grand Stores appeared to
be in further recognition of the highly
favorable sales volume reported Tor
the first six months, which disclosed
a gain of more than % per cent over
the same period last year. The rise
in Universal Leaf Tobacco to new
top for the year was sympathetic with
strength in tobacco stocks generally
on the big board.
Whether latest efforts on the part
Of the Seminole operators to check
the tremendous flow of crude oil from
the wildcat territory of this field are
to meet with success remains to be
seen. According to latest plans, the
same ideas as those presented to the
New York body last May are to be
proposed to the Oklahoma Corporation
Commission. but It was significant
that only 10 operators .oted in favor
of the plan. However, the oils were
better supported, but it was the stocks
like Humble, Prairie Pipe Line and
Standard of Indiana, where special
developments within the companies
themselves were thought to be pend
ing, that received most attention.
The market for Servel Corporation
6s again broke almost 3 points and
holders Of the issues were becoming
increasingly alarmed over future pros
poets Of the company. Electrical Re
6s also were freely sup.
piled whenever bids came into the
market.

 Attempts to smuggle by airplane are no longer novel. Planes can easily fly between the British Ba- hamas and Florida, but federal operatives now know how to deal with them. They are sighted in the air and kept from landing.

More than 5000 miles of coast line around Florida offer innumerable bayous and inlets where rum run ners try to land cargo.
