I'D love to hear it sometime" Mrs.
Whitaker said gently. She caught Madame
Rubin's eyes now in the mirror, still full upon
hers. They were handsome. sparkling, feeling
q. eyes, large and black and fringed, the sort
: bat belonged to an opera star.
T.. Would you, ma'am?" Madame Rubin
ss,asked also in gentle voice. Nobody cares
usual about such things in America, she con-
tinued after moment, as she brushed. "All
the ladies come in and say, Can you get me
out of here by three-thoity?' Why do they
spend the money to rush like that? Facials,
waves, maniCures - it takes time, ma am, to
get good result massage the face, ma am,
and under my fingers l feel the excited
thoughts runnin' around, and the muscles
don't relax.
so what good to massage the skin only?
But" again the expressive shrug - they
amt got the time. They want the result
but they don't want to give the time to get
it from the inside. They want to put on quick
from the outside - is the Americans.
Her eyes grew dreamy. Fifteen years
it wasn't too long for me- knew it wasn't

night. Vienna was before me that night - in
the opera house - the court. wit all their
crownettes, ma am diamonds like no one
ever saw 50 many before. knew it was the
beginning for me, and sang and sang and
when finished, they jumped up, crying and
calling me and then they began t'rowin' their
flowers, until couldn't see my feet! And
stood before, like it was, the world!'
Madame Rubin's face was broken, quiver-
ing. She stood, forgetting to brush. and put
out her hands to the world not noticing that
in one hand was still the hairbrush. But
Mrs. Whitaker, staring into her mirrored
eyes, did not notice it either. She saw only
the glorious, glowing eyes, the full white
throat, pulsing with sobs.
Madame Rubin wiped her eyes frankly on
the end of the towel on her arm. "Ach, why
do l think of it," she muttered to herself. Il.

''Oh, no - don't say that, j." Mrs. Whitaker
begged. Her own eyes were smarting. Re
member it - it must have been wonderful"
Madame Rubin began brushing again f,lri-
ously Il had - had everything" she said.
The great dinner after it - the young men
wanting to kiss my hand - to marry me -
anything l would give. But would give
nothing wanted only to sing. And then,
quick - no more singing - is all fnished!"
"Oh, why?" Mrs. Whitaker breathed.

my triumph - to see my old parents. l
stepped on the train with them crowdng to
see me off. to call after me, to t'row flowers

to sleep - so happy.

crying, women crying! called to my maid.
She is not there. got on my coat and rush
out to the platform.
1T is full of mad people - soldiers and
people, but all mad. And l see ttrange
thing ma am - my own beautiful h:N that
my maid packed into my trunk in WieSpa,
wit owstrich feathers and big gold buckle b
hold it, and there it was on the platform III
the dirt, mad people walkin' on it.
And how, ma am? Because my trunks was
opened. Everything had was gone And
couldn't ask nobody because such shootings
and cryings and shoutings as nobody could
hear human voice. And when they saw me
they howled out louder and some soldiers
took me and put me in prison in that town."
Why" Mrs. Whitaker asked Her hair
hung in streams about her face and she peered
up out of it to gaze in the mirror at Madame
Rubin's tense face.
Because. ma am, it was the Republic. And
the world knows am loyal to our Emperor.
Yes, it was the Republic, and everybody was
to be free, 50 they put me in Jail, ma am. And
l see you askin', Then how are you here?'
''Ma'am, had diamond kept in my
breast on chain - well, ma am, a young man
put it there maybe some day - it's a
story, too - and give it to my guard -
what you Americans say? - the graft - and
he lets me out and run and run by night,
and in the darkness and in the wind. have
still but the slippers on my feet.
"A truck comes by, and man stoops down
and lifts me up into it. am 50 afraid. 1t is a
man in a strange uniform. He stamps his
foot like this. Madame Rubin gave mighty
stamp of her own foot. And see his lips

such langwidge, though spik many lang
widges. But after when l learn English, l
know what it says"
DIE drew from her bosom a square gold
locket, took out bit of brown wrapping paper
and reverently gave it to Mrs. Whitaker.
Upon it was written in an iliterate hand:
You are safe now this is America"
He means, same as America" Madame
Rubin explained 1T was an American Red
Cross truck, ma'am. He took me back to
Vienna had uncles there. But wanted only
to come to America. And 50 sayin' nothin, l
took all the little money had left in bank -
such little, because didn't save much yet
from my career just started - and l came to
America"
But why - why didn't you 60 on singing
in America" Mrs. Whitaker demanded.
Madame Rubin smiled sadly. She was
brushing again in long smooth strokes.
II am deaf like stone ma am" she said
gently. Ever since the guns that night l
don't hear human voice - not my own

Special Dispatch to the Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-The major
trend Of stock prices has been up
ward for nine months, according
to the annual review and forecast
appearing in Poor's Investment Ad-
visory Service.
Bull markets of the past have
averaged two and half years
duration, so that on the basis of
precedent there is reason to believe
that the present upward swing has
still some distance to go. The gen.
eral economic background, despite
its shortcomings, supports this con-
tention. Basic investment policy for
1899, therefore, should be one Of
retention and accumulation of Sc
curities.
1.-THE exact pattern which the
market will follow cannot be pre-
determined" continues Poor's fore
cast. 1T appears reasonable to con-
clude, however, that wide price
swings such as those occurring last
year will continue. This conclusion
is based upon the many conflicting
factors Of major Importance present
in international and domestic econ
omy.
These include, in part, the mill
tary aggressiveness of certain ma
tions, the domestic political situa-
ton, the labor problem with its
possible strikes and demands for
increased wages, profit margins, the
future of the railroad industry, the
Government versus utilities impasse,
and the trend of private capital
investment. On balance, the pros
poets for solution of these prob
lens appear favorable However,
many intermediate developments in
the approach to their solution will
run counter to the final result. Stock
prices will reflect these develop
ments-favorable or otherwise.
The near-term trend of stock
prices has been upward for more

NEW YORK, Jan. ia revised
schedule of fees for listing securi-
ties on the New York Stock Ex-
change calculated to make listing
more attractive" to companies and
therefore, to gain newcomers to the
'big board" was made public yes
terday by the exchange.
The schedule materially reduces
the initial fee to be paid for listing
stocks and provides for a continu-
ing fee to be paid over a period of
Is years, so that, as it vas eX-
planned, present stockholders are
not required to pay for the ad-
vantages of the market place to be
enjoyed indefinitely by future stock
holders
Major notifications in the new
schedule are:
/. Reduction of the initial fee for
registering stocks to $50 for 10000
shares from $l20.
2. Provision for a 15-year con-
tinuing fee at the rate of S75 per
100000 shares for the first 100000
shares and $50 per 100000 in excess
of 100000
g. A basic initial fee for bonds
and securities of similar nature
of IL cents per 500 principal
amount and a basic initial fee Of
O6 of a cent per s100 principal
amount on bonds of maturity Of
five years or less. There will be no
continuing fee for bonds. The old

28.85 to 34.33. Resistance to further
advance was noted last week, but
there is no occasion, as yet, to look
upon this resistance as anything
more than a consolidation Of pre-
vious gains. Weakness in the avia-
ton issues, entirely understandable
in view Of the speculative over
enthusiasm in the group during the
past two months, was the most
noticeable feature.

Board Reports Rise
Of 140 Million in

To Return of Yule
Shopping Funds

BY the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board an
nounced the idle funds of banks
went up to $3,44O 900 900 in the week
ended January IL.
The total of lendable excess re-
serves was s14o00O000 higher than
the previous week, the increase
being due primarily to the return of
Christmas shopping money to the

line with it's new policy of not re-
placing maturing Treasury bills in
the portfolios of the II Federal
Reserve Banks, the banks last week
bought S23 100000 worth of Treasury
notes to offset a decrease in their
holdings of Treasury bills.
The boards statement said:
During the week ended January
II member bank reserve balances
increased Sl37 100000. Additions to
member bank reserves arose from
decreases of 100000 in money
in circulation, S13,0OO,0O0 in Treas
ury cash and S18.OOOO 900 in Treasury
deposits with Federal Reserve Banks
and increases of S12,O0O,O0O in gold
stock and SIS 100000 in Treasury cur
rency, offset in part by an increase
Of $23 100000 in non-member depos-
its and other Federal Reserve &C
counts and a decrease of $4,000, 900
in reserve bank credit Excess re-
serves of member banks on January

bills"
