Chasgea on the Chicago A Alton Railway and the Hocking Valley Kstare of Erie General Newa. The annual meeting of the directors and stockholders of the Chicago & Alton Railway Company was held In Chicago Tuesday and the officers of the company were re-elected. W. H. Henkle and S. M. Feltou were re-elected for the "railroad." James Stillman was elected in place of V. A. Simonson. All three were elected for a term of three years. There were two changes In the executive committee James Stlliman was elected, vice Simonson, and J. C. Hutching was elected to fill a vacancy. As directors of the "railway" the following were re-elected: S. M. Felton, John J. Mitchell and James Stillman. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Hocking Valley Railway was held in Columbus, O., 2U0.000 shares, or 77 per cent, of the capital stock being repn s- nt. u. The old board of directors with Use exception of Col. Myron T. Herrick, were reelected. Colonel Herrick, who is the Republican nominee for Goveror of Ohio, resigned some time ago for political reasons. He was succeeded on the board by W. N. Cott, of Columbus. The board will meet in New York city and organize. The result of the election is taken to mean that there will be no change in the management of the Hocking Valley and allied lines for at least another year. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, called for Tuesday in New York, was adjourned, as under the injunction granted by the justices of the United States Circuit Court Of Anneal at St Paul n Anril Ö last the Northern Securities Company is not permitted to vote its Northern Pacific stock at any meeting of the stockholders of the latter company. Pending the decision of the United States Supreme Court on the appeal from this decision the directors who have held office will hold over until a meeting of the stockholders for the electlou of directors can be held. The annual report of the company shows the gross earnings for the last fiscal year to have ben $46,142,104; operating expenses, $24.032,012; net earnings, ufter paying taxes, $2v.6v,575; deducting interest on bond.-. 6.iA4,t; rentals of leased lines. $150,543, and dividends, $10,074.943, there is left a surplus of $4.670.iK6. from which $3,000,000 is to be deducted for betterments. Freight earnings showed an increase of 10.2 per cent., and passenger earnings an increase of 15.5 per cent. Since Sept. 1, 1896, the sum of $34,244,369 has been spent for the betterment and enlargement fund. President Mellen reported that the business conditions prevailing in the country served by the Northern Pacific lines warranted the prediction that the current fiscal year will compare favorably with the last. The report of the St. Louis Southwestern Railroad (Cotton Belt) for the fiscal year ended June 34) was submitted at the annual meeting of stockholders held in St. Louis Tuesday. Compared with the previous year but little change is shown. The report showed gross earnings of $7,27S,574; operating expenses. $5.256, 163; net earnings, $2.022,411; total income, $2.205,013; chary s against income, $1.510,178, leaving a surplus of $696,834. Last year's surplus was $728,189. The eighth annual report of the Erie Railroad Company gives gross earnings, expenses and net earnings from the railroad and other operations for the fiscal year. Total earnings amount to $46,830,413, an increase over the previous year of IJl Net earnings on all operations were $15.904,654, an increase of $2.937.319. The ratio of expenses to earnings was 65.30 per cent., a dt crease of 7.99 per cent. Gross earnings were 12.U7 per cent, over the preceding year, operating expenses increased $l,yy.6oi, or 7.13 per ceut.. and the net earnlugs increased 22.66 per ceut. The income account is credited with $2.b70,2S9, less Interest on Pennsyl ania collateral gold bonds and sinking fund, as the net revenue of the coal companies for the year. Additions and improvements charged to income aecouut amounted to $MJ3,451. From the surplus of the income account there was transferred to a fund for additions and improvements, authorized and unexpended at the close of the year, $1,569.404. President Underwood makes some general remarks, in the course of which he says: "For some time a constant tendency toward an increase in wages of all classes of labor, both in rates of pay and a reduction of hours of employment, has been apparent. After conferences with representatives of its employes and careful consideration of their claims, your company has revised its wage scheduk, basing the schedule on a condition surrounding each class of employment and placing the employes on a parity with those of other railroad companies similarly situated. This increased compensation, from which your company derives no benefit either by adding to its revenues or Increasing the unit of transportation, amounted approximately to $l,2oo,000 per annum and is reflected in the increased cost of conducting transportation and maintenance during the year." The annual statement of the Minneapolis & St. Louis shows a decrease in gross earnings of $275.:;67 and a decrease in operating expenses of M,W7. The net earnings for the year decreased $211.660. There was an increase In the passenger earnings of $25.453, but this was more than overcome by the decreased freight earnings. Mileage and Kates Settled. Western railroads have settled their differences regarding mileage rate questions and the chances are fair for the ultimate return of the Kock Island to membership in the W est rn Passenger Association and a restoration of harmony. All this was accomplished at a meeting held in Chicago Tuesday. The mileage question was settled by the amalgamation of the three existing mileage bureaus and the adoption of three mileage tickets, which will test the meritsof the credential system as against a mileage book good on trains. The three mileage books, which will be placed on sal in ail Western teriitory on and after Dec. 1 are as follows: First. A new l.oOO-milo Interchangeable credential book which must be honored by all roads in the amalgamated bureau. Second. The present '.'oi mile Interchangeable book, the use of which is optional. Third A new 2.000 mile book good on trains, use being optional. All roads must use ticket No. 1 nnd must choose between numbers 2 and 3. The compromise permits the Rock Island to retain its 2.ti)0 mile credential ticket, also permits other roads to use the proposed book good on trains and by the substitution of a new 4.000 mile ticket the two systems are fairly pitted against each other. The Rook Island further agreed to take out the $8 rau between Chicago & St. Paul on

o. t. 16, th2 other lines to withdraw the rate to-day. The Northwestern. Milwaukee and I Hock Island were appointed a committee to organize the new amalgamated bureau. It j is i x: ( ted thiit other differences between j the Kock Island and the Western lines will be settled soon, a disposition being shown to make certain concessions to the Rock Island in the military, immigrant and naval j bureau.

The Krle'a Fntare. The olction of E. H. Harriman to the Fri- ÜICClMEtl con tin les to be the subject of much gosMp In railroad and financial circles in New York and the East generally. At first it was supixised to no more than indicate closer relations between Mr. Morgan and th' Kuhn-Loeb Interests. It is now stilted in (nerv,itlve Wall-street circles that by thi step Mr. Morgan is providing solution of th- Northern Securities difficulty, in case the Supreme Court affirms the lt-cre of the Circuit Court of Appeals, ordering the redistribution of the securities imoug their original holders. This solution would lie in turning over to the Erie the control of the three systems involved the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, the Erie thus taking th place of the Northern Securities as a holding company, and becoming the Eastern terminal of the three great roads. The absorption of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and Michigan Central by the New York Central affords ample precedent for such a proceeding. Mr. Harriman Is one of the largest holders of Northem Securities, as he was of the Northern Pacific, and he is said to have assented to the plan. An Enfrlisliman Lifts a Cnp. Capt. William Austin, formerly a lieutenant in the famous Coldstream Guards, who has, for the past fourteen years, represented the Burlington road in Michigan. has just celebrated his silver wedding anniversary. In recognition of the interesting event, and as a testimonial of their high regard for the captain, the railroad men of Chicago, represented in the C, B. & Q. Club, on Monday presented to him a beautiful silver loving cup appropriately engraved. General Notes. The New York Central has placed in service on its main line three new dining cars that are said to be marvels of beauty and convenience. The Chicago Great Western's report shows an iucrease in earnings for the month of September of $80,587, and since July 1 of $278,632. The Rock Island Company, of New Jersey, has declared the regular quarterly dividend of 1 per cent, on its preferred stock, payable Nov. 2. 'The Supreme Court of Ohio for the second time has sustained the voluntary relief department of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. It is conducted for the relief of employes. The Ixtulsville & Nashville has given orders that none of its freight cars shall leave its lines until the car shortage is over. Transmississippi lines have given similar orders. It is estimated that the roads running into New York (.with their tributaries) are short of equipment to the extent of at least 20,oa0 cars. All are endeavoring to borrow cars from other lines, with but little success. The Reading Railway Company has put a large extra force of men at work in the Palo Alto shops to repair all idle locomotives preparatory to handling the heavy ooal business which is looked for early in the coming month. It has been decided by the Trunk-line grain committee to extend the present reduced grain rate between Buffalo and NewYork to Nov. 15. From Nov. 16, however, to Nov. 30, inclusive, the rate will be advanced one-half cent a bushel. Track laying has begun on the Santa Fe exteusion from Middleton, on Prescott branch of S. F. P. & P. Railway, in Arizona, to the Crown King mine. This branch will be completed in about two months, opening up a rich mineral country. The Sante Fe holds the record for fast freight service between Houston, Tex., and Denver. A freight car loaded with vegetables recently made the trip of 1.300 miles in four days' time, cutting off onethird from the best previous schedule. The Montezuma Hotel, at Las Vegas. Hot Springs, N. BC, heretofore operated by the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe. will be closed to the public on Saturday of this week. It Is thought the government will purchase the property for use as an army sanitarium. The report of the Chicago Terminal Transfer Railroad, submitted on Monday, shows that while the earnings of the company for the year Increased $107.255 over the preceding year, the operating expenses increased $129.536, leaving a decrease in net surplus of $22,280. The Pennsylvania Is making a number of extensive improvements on its short-line branch at Delaware, O., including a steel girder bridge over North Sandusky street, and the replacing of the four-hundred-foot trestle over the Olentaugy with a solid masonry structure. It is announced that T. J. Norton has been made the general solicitor of the Santa Fe system for California and Arizona. Mr. Norton succeeds the late Judge C. N. Sterry and was formerly in the Santa Fe's law headquarters in Chicago in connection with E. D. Kenna. A suit is pending in the Texas courts in which the express companies seek to enjoin the State Railroad Commission from fixing rates. The commission looks upon the result of this suit as one that will determine its life or death. Should the State lose its case in the lower court It will carry the suit up to the court of last resort. The statement is made in the EaBt that the Baltimore & Ohio has decided upon the task of reconstructing its route from Chicago to Philadelphia by eliminating every possible grade and curve, and building innumerable cut-offs to shorten the mileage. The work, which will involve the expenditure of many millions, is said to be already under way. The Santa Fe is spending nearly half a million dollars on Its Kansas City terminals and will soon have the most modern facilities In the West for handling freight. The new freight houses have a capacity for loading 240 cars daily. The drop truck system is used, refrigerator rooms are provided for perishable goods and all the loading platforms have steel runways. In 1891 the Dakota, Wyoming & Missouri River Railroad now known as the Dakota Pacific was projected for the connection of Rapid City with the Burlington road at Mystic. The enterprise fell Into difficulties and passed into the hands of a receiver, who sold it a few days ago to C. D. Crouch, of Akron. O.. the heaviest stockholder. Absolute title will pass on the 19th. At the annual meeting of the American Railway Association, to be held at Richmond. Va., on the 23d, reports will be received from the committees on train rules, safety appliances, car service, cipher codes and nominations, and three members of the car-service committee, three members of the committee on safety appliances and the members of the committee on nominations will be chosen. This story is told in connection with the history of the reeord-brr aking run of the Lowe special from Chicago to Los Angeles over the Sante Fe: Mr. Lowe offered the engineer who drove the train on the hörnest retch from San Bernardino to Los Angek g sixty miles fifty dollars for every minute of time he gained over the schedule. Engineer Warboy brought his train to the Los Angeles station just nine minutes ahead ot' time and thereby earned a gratuity of $15". President Joseph Ramsey, jr.. of the Wabash Railroad, hegan a thorough Inspection of the construction work on the Pittsburg, Carnegie & Western Railroad Tuesday, with a view t perfecting plans for the amalgamation of all the Gould lines east of Toledo. A meet Ins of the stockholders of the Wabash will be called in a short time, and the proposition for the purchase of the Wheeling A: Lake Brio, Pittsburgh Toledo & Western and Pittsburg. Carnegie & Western railroads will be submitted. The lines east of Toledo will be oierated as one grand hvision A BJsique lawsuit has been instituted in the Grundy, Mo.. Circuit Court. Attorney A. O. Knight, of Trenton, brings suit against the Quincy, Omaha A Kansas City Railroad for refusing to ship a hog, consigned by him to a man in Green City. The total damages claimed, with attorney's fees, will not amount to $lou, but a finding for Mr. Knight will open the way for proceedings against the road by the State Railroad Commission, w hereby a penalty of $5.000 to Inure to the benefit of the school fund may be exacted; and Mr. Knight intends to push the suit with vifcor. The Sante Fe has arranged to burn crude petroleum as fuel in their locomotives on the division between Wluslow and Sellgman. Ariz., a distance of 143 miles. Earth tanks will be built at Williams. Flagstaff and insiow. each holding 25,00t) gallons, oil-burning engines are already in use on Santa Fe lines in California, also between B Hainas and Needles. The first of the forty-five new mogul engines ordered for Pacific Coast division has arrived. They are all oil burners. Main line tracks in that section are oil-spriukkd, making a dustless and sruokclcä trip.

. II APTIIlt WXIII. THE AMATEl'R NAPOLEON OF WALL STREET. At the beginning of April, the situation in the three stocks Perolval had bought so heavily grew undeniably tense. Consolidate Copper went from 109 to 103 In a week. But Percival's entusiasm suffered little abatement from the drop. "You see." he reminded Uncle Peter, "it isn't exactly what I expected, but it's right in line with it, so it doesn't alarm me. I knew those fellows inside were bound to hammer it down If they could. It wouldn't phase me a bit if it sagged to 95." "My! My!" Uncle Peter exclaimed, with warm approval, "the way you master this business certainly does win me. I tell you, it's a mighty good thing we got our brains to depend on. I'm all right the other side of Council Bluffs, but I'm a tenderfoot here, sure, where everybody's trying to get the best of it. I told that to one of them smartis last night. But you'll put them in their place all right. You know both ends of the game and the middle. We certainly got a right to be proud of you, son. Dan'l J. liked big propositions himself but, well, I'd just like to have him see the nerve you've showed, that's all." Uncle Peter's professions of confidence were unfailing, and Perclval took new hope aAd faith in his judgment from them daily. Nevertheless, as the weeks passed, and the mysterious insiders succeeded in their design of keeping the stock from rising, he came to feel a touch of anxiety. More, indeed, than he was able to communicate to Uncle Peter, without confessing outright that he had lost faith In himself. That he was unable to do, even if it were true, which he doubted. The Bines fortune was now hanging, as to all but some of the Western properties, on the turning of the three stocks. Yet the old man's confidence in the young man's acumen was invulnerable. No shaft that Perclval was able to fashion had point enough to pierce it. And he was loath to batter it down, for he still had the gambler's faith in his luck. "You got your father's head in business matters," was Uncle Peter's invariable response to any suggestion of failure. "I know that much spite of what all these gossips say and that's all I want to know. And of course you can't ever be no Shepler 'less you take your share of char.cts. Only don't ask my advice. You're master of the game, and we're all layln right smack down on your genius fur it." Whereupon the your:? man, with confidence in himself newly inflated, would hurry off to the stock tickers. He had ceased to buy the stocks outright, and for several weeks had bought only on margins. "There was one rule in poker your pa had." said Uncle Peter. "If a hand is worth calling on, it's worth raising on. He jest never would call. If he didn't think a hand was worth raising, he'd bunch It in with the discards, and wait fur another deal. I don't know much about the game, but he said it was a sound rule, and if it was sound in poker, why it's got to be sound in this game. That's all I can tell you. You knew what you hold, and If tain t a hand to lay down, it must be a hand to raise on. Of course, if you'd been brash and ignorant in your first calculations if you'd made a fool of yourself at the start but shucks! you're the son of Daniel J. Bines, ain't you?" The rule and the clever provocation had their effect. "I'll raise as long as I have a chip left, Uncle Peter. Why, only to-day I had a tip that came straight from Shepler, though he never dreamed it would reach me. That Pacific cable bill is going to be rushed through at this session of Congress, sure, and that means enough increased demand to send Consolidated back where it was. And then, when it comes out that they've got those Rio Tinto mines by the throat, well, this anvil chorus will have to stop, and those Federal Oil sharks and Shepler will be wondering how I had the face to stay in." The published rumors regarding Consolidated began to conflict very sharply. Percival read them all hungrily, disregarding those that did not confirm his own opinions. He called them irresponsible newspaper gossip, or believed them to be inspired by the clique for its own ends. He studied the history of copper until he knew all its ups and downs since the great electrical development began in 1887. When Fouts. the broker he traded most heavily with, suggested that the Consolidated Company was skating on thin ice, that it might, indeed, be going through the same experience that shattered the famous Secretan corner a dozen years before, Perclval pointed out unerringly the vital difference in the circumstances. The Consolidated had reduced the production of its controlled minds, and the price was bound to be maintained. When his adviser suggested that the companies not in the combine might cut the price, he brought up the very lively rumors of a "gentlemen's agreement" with the "noncomblne" producers. "Of course, tnere's Calumet and Hecla. I know that couldn't be gunned into the combination. They could pay dividends with copper at 10 cents a pound. But the other independents know which side of their stock is spread with dividends, all right." When it was further suggested that the Rio Tinto mines had sold ahead for a year, with the result that European imports from the United States had fallen off, and that the Consolidated could not go on forever holding up the price, Perclval said nothing. The answer to that was the secret negotiations for control of the European output, which would make the Consolidated master of the copper world. Instead of disclosing this, he pretended craftily to be encouraged by the mere generally hopeful outlook in all lines. Western Trolley, too, might be overcapitalized, and Union Cordage might also be In the hands of a piratical clique; but the demand for trolley lines was growing every day, and cordage products were not going out of fashion by any means. "You see," he said to his adviser, "here's what the most conservative mau in the street says in this afternoon's paper. 'That copper must necessarily break badly, and the whole boom collapse I do not believe. There is enough prosperity to maintain a strong demand for the metal through another year at least. As to Western Trolley and Union Cordage, the two other stocks about which doubt Is now being so widely expressed In the street, I am persuaded that they are both due to rise, not sensationally, but at a healthy upward rate that makes them sound investments!' "There," said Percival, "there's the judgment of a man that knows the game, but doesn't happen to have a dollar in either stock, and he doesn't know one or two things that I know, either. Just hypothecate ten thousand of those Union Cordage shares and five thousand Western Trolley, and buy Consolidated on a 20 per cent, margin. I ! want to get bigger action. There's a good j rule iu poker: If your hand is worth calling, t it's worth ralsiug." "I like your nerve, said the broker. "Well, f know some one who has a sleeve with something up it. that's all." By the third week in April. It -was believed that his holdings of Consolidated were the largest in the street, excepting those of the Federal Oil peopl . Uncle Peter was delighted by the magnitude of his operations, and by his newly-formed habits of industry. "It'll be the makings of the boy." he said to Mrs. Bines in her son's presence. "Not that I care so much myself about all the millions he 11 pile up, but it gives him a business training, and takes him out of the pin-head class. I bet Shepler himself will be takin' off his silk hat to your son. jest as soon as he's made this turn in copper if he has enough of Pan 1 J.'s grit to hang on and I think he has." "They needn't wait another day for me," Percival told him later. "The family treasure is about ail in now, except ma's amethyst earrings, and the hair watch-chain (Irandpa Cummlngs had. Of course I'm holding what I promised for Burman. But that rise can't hold off much longer, and the only thing I'll do. Cross now on. is to hock a few blocks of the Stock I bought outright, and buy on margins, so's to get bigger action." "My! My! you jest do fairly dazzle me," exclaimed the old man delightedly. "Oh, I

guess your pa wouldn't be at all proud of you if he could see lt. I tell you. this family's all right while you keep hearty." "Well. I'm not pushing my chest out any." said the young man. with becoming mod- : estjr. "but I don't mind telling you it will be ! the biggest thing ever pulled off down there by any one man." "That's the true Western spirit." declared ; Uncle Peter, beside himself with enthusl- I asm. "We do things big when we bother with em at all. We ain't afraid of any pikers like Shepler, with his little two and five thousand lots. Oh! I can jest hear 'em callin' you hard names down In that Wall street Napoleon of finance and copper king : and all like that In about thirty days!" He accepted Percival's invitation that afternoon to go down into the street with i him. They stopped for a moment in the visi

tors gallery of the Stock Exchange and looked down into the mob of writhing, dishevelled, shouting brokers. In and out, the throng swirled upon itself, while above its muddy depths surged a froth of hands in frenzied gesticulation. The frantic movement and din of shrieks disturbed Uncle Peter. "Faro is such a lot quieter game," was his comment; "so much more ca m and restful. What a pity, now, 'tain't as Christian!" Then they made the rounds of the brokers' offices in New, Broad and Wall streets. They reached the office of Fouts. in the latter street, just as the Exchange had closed. In the outer trading room groups of men were still about the tickers, rather excitedly discussing the last, quotations. Percival made his way toward one of them with a dim notion that he might be concerned. He was relieved when he saw Gordon Blythe. suave and smiling, in the midst of the group, still regarding the tape he held in his hands. Blythe, too, had plunged in copper. He had been one of the few as sanguine as Perclval and Blythe's manner now reassured him. Copper had obviously not gone wrong. "Ah, Blythe, how did we close? Mr. Blythe, my grandfather. Mr. Bines." Blythe was the model of easy. Indolent, happy middle age. His tall hat, frock coat with a carnation in the lapel, the precise crease of his trousers, the spickness of his patent leathers and his graceful confidence of manner, proclaimed his mind to be free from all but the pleasant things of life. He greeted Uncle Peter airily. "Come down to see how we do it, eh, Mr. Bines? It's vastly engrossing, on my word. Here's copper just closed at 93, after opening strong this morning at 105. I hardly fancied, you know, it could fall off so many of those wretched little points. Rumors that the Consolidated has made large sales of the stuff In London at sixteen, I believe. One never can be aware of what really governs these absurd fluctuations." Percival was staring at Blythe in .unconcealed amazement. He turned, leaving Uncle Peter still chatting with him, and sought Fouts in the inner room. When he came out ten minutes later Uncle Peter was waiting for him alone. "Your friend Mr. Blythe is a clever sort of man, jolly and light-hearted as a boy." "Let's go out and have a drink, before we go up town." In the cafe of the Savarin, to which he led Uncle Peter, they saw Blythe again. He was seated at one of the tables with a younger man. Uncle Peter and Percival sat down at a table near by. Blythe was having trouble about his wine. "Now, George," he was saying, "give "us a real lively pint of wine. You see, yourself, that cork isn't fresh; show it to Frank there, aud look at the wine itself come now, George! Hardlv a bubble rn it! Tell Frank 1 11 leave it to him, by Gad! if this bottle is right." The waiter left with the rejected wine, and they heard Blythe resume to his companion, with the relish of a connoisseur: "It's simply a matter of genius, old chap you understand? to tell good wine that Is really to discriminate finely. If a chap's not born with the gift he's an ass to think he can acquire it. Sometime you've a setter pup that looks fit head good, nose all right all the markings but you try him out and you know in half an hour he'll never do in the world. Then it's better to take him out back of the barn and shoot him, by Gad! rather than have his strain corrupt the rest of the kennel. He can't acquire the gift, and no more can a chap acquire this gift. Ah! I was right, was I, George? Look how different that cork is." He sipped the bubbling amber wine with cautious and exacting appreciation. As the waiter would have refilled the glasses, Blythe stopped him. "Now, George, let me tell you something. You're serving at this moment the only ger tleman's drink. Do it right, George. Listen! Never refill a gentleman's glass until it's quite empty. Do you know why? Think, George! Yuu pour fresh wine into stale wine and what have you? neither. I've taught you something, George. Never fill a glass till it's empty." "It beats me," said Uncle Peter, when Blythe and hl3 companions had gone, "how easy thpm rich codgers get along. That fellow must 'a' made a study of wines, and nothing worse ever bothers him than a waiter fllllu' his glass wrong." "You'll be beat more," answered Perclval, "when I tell you this slump in copper has just ruined him wiped out every cent he had. He'd just taken it off the ticker when we found him in Fouta's place there. He's lost a million and a half, every cent he had in the world, and he has a wife and two grown daughters." "Shoo! you don't say! And I'd have sworn he didn't care a row of pins whether copper went up or down. He was a lot more worried about that champagne. Well, well! he certainly Is a game loser. I got more respect fur him now. This town does produce thoroughbreds, you can't deny that." "Uncle Peter, she's down to 93, and I've had to margin up a good bit. I didn't think it could get below 95 at the worst." "Oh, I can't bother about them things. Just think of when she boomc." "I do but say do you think we better pinch our bets?" Uncle Peter finished his glass of beer. "Lord! don't ask me," he replied, with the unconcern of perfect trust. "Of course if you've lost your nerve, or if you think all these things you been tellln me was jest some one foolln' you " "No, I know better than that, and I haven't lost my nerve. After all, it only means that the crowd is looking for a bigger rakeoff." "Your pa always kept his nerve," said Uncle Peter. "I've known him to make big money by keepin' It when other men lost theirs. Of course he had genius fur it, and you're purty young yet" "I only thought of it for a minute. I didn't really mean it." They read the next afternoon that Gordon Blythe had been found dead of asphyxiation in a little down-town hotel under circumstances that left no doubt of his suicide. "That man want so game as we thought." said Uncle Peter. "He's left his family to starve. Now your pa was a game loser fur fair. Dani J. would 'a' called fur another deck." "And copper's up two points to-day," said Percival, cheerfully. He had begun to be depressed with forebodings of disaster, and this slight recovery was cheering. "By the way," he continued, "there may be another gas-jet blown out in a few days. That party, you know, our friend from Montana, has been selling Consolidated right and left. Where do you suppose she got any such tip as that? Well, I'm buying and she's selling, and we'll have that money back. She'll be wiped off the board when Consolidated soars." To be Continued To-morrow. A BRIGHT PUPIL. Brother Jack Sadie, how could I divide ten apples among eleven little girls? Sadie Dib oue a oniou.
