saved enough of that money he
hunted and hunted and finally he
found q pony.
He bought 1t. paid for it and took
1t home himself.
He didn't sleep a wink all night
the day before he really bought the
pony and you should have seen that
pcny's coat after that little boy
had brought him home and Cured
him and brushed him. and combed
him. and fed him and told him
that his name was going to be Mus

And the little boy could hardly
wait for Saturday, for on Saturday
he was going out to the park and
he would ride "Musty" all the way.
Yesterday Musty threw the lit
tie boy and pounded him to death
with his flashing hoofs.
Everybody who knew the little
boy hopes that he did not know
that Musty trampled him to death.
Some times it is a little bit terrify-

wishes come true.
There's the girl I know who fell
in love with the singer and she

poems about him. and wouldn't
have anything to do with the plain

met the singer and married him

CONVERTIBLE BOND
LIST IS IRREGULAR
High-Grade Mortgage Market
DuIl-U. S. Issues Fol-
low Trend.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
| NEW YORK, July 23.-There was
much wavering of prices today in the
market for convertible bonds. They had
periods of weakness and spells of
strength and moved as much as ~ and
2 points between transactions. The VOL
/ ume of trading increased slightly.
American 1. G. Chemical 5 1as had a
further decline of points to 121, COM
pared with 1876 yesterday, before they
rallied 4 points. Missouri Pacific
5l2s opened 3l2 points lower. Atchison
AIS made an early gain of over point
and later rose points. The two Tele-
phone AIS were comparatively quiet,
but higher by one to points. Ale
ghany Corporation SIS and American In
ternational SIPS each reacted fraction
ally, with some recovery later.
The local traction issues made poor
showing, appearing to be suffering from
small, but steady, volume of liquida-
ton. Traction bonds outside New York
have also been heavy recently.
The high-grade mortgage market was
dull, with few strong issues, includ-
ing Atchison As, Canadian Pacific As,
Great Northern rs and San Antonio
&, Arkansas Pass as, which rose more
than point. Chicago & Eastern I'LL
nois refunding IS gained point, as
did Seaboard Air Line adjustments. but
Frisco &, Rock Island 4l2s were down
and Seaboard Air Line 6s lost point.
In the industrial group list Interna-
tional Paper IS went below 90 after
the recent bidding-up process to IS in
order to sell the Canadian paper issue.
The practice is one that Syndicates
continually resort to and from which
they invariably get the same unfavora-
BILE reaction.
United States Government issues were
irregular, with weakness in the Liberty
group and some gains in the Treasury
issues. Foreign bonds showed no posi-
tive tendency.
