Pringle Stick to the long side of

July wheat and buy it on the little re actions that will occur. Bartlett We look for light corn re

ceipts. decreasing stocks and improv

ing demand.

Ware & Leland It looks as if May shorts in corn would be forced to

cover at a decidedly higher price.

. Hutton The recovery in stocks is

not unreasonable In view if the con

ditions and higher proces are not un likely in the near future.

Bache Good stocks are still cheap

for investment.

Financial Bureau The best results

will be gained in buying for turns on

recessions so far as daily operators

are concerned. The elimination of

shortage makes it wise to take part

profits on all bulges. Dick. We expect bullish ' manipula

tion to continue during the coming

week and it it likely that it will re

suit in some sharp gans. However, we

continue to advise caution and to urge against Indiscriminate purchases on

these bulges.

Miller The tone of newspaper comment over Sunday Is inclined to be extremely conservative. Some interest may be excited by the optimistic interview this morning with the president of the Equtable Life. Railroad earnings continue tlong the same lines. The technical position of the market is coming in for more attention than in the past. In this respect it can readily be noted that the short interest in the market is smaller now than at any time since the panic.

There has been quite some distribution on the advance of the shares of Union Pacific and it is equally true that for some reason or other there is continued absorption of Southern Pacific of which we feel quite sure there is very much less stock held by commission houses today than any time in the last seven or eight months.

Gray listened to the girl's cool state

ruent with growing admiration. The plan began to look feasible. It came within the bounds of reason. The odds were against it, of course, but the

law of probability is, seldom in favor

of a forlorn hope. Suarei, too, making the best of a situation which gave him no option, agreed that they had a fair chance if once they got hold of the

canoes. Nevertheless he warned them that he knew nothing of the surroundings of Guanaco hill. lie believed there were no reefs on that side of he inlet, but he had never visited it. Their greatest peril lay amid the almost impenetrable trees which grew down to the water's edge. On his advice Gray unshipped the mast and threw it overboard. Then silence became imperative. If aught were said, they must speak in the merest whisper. The canoe darted forward again with stealthy haste. The night was clear, though dark. The stars helped them to distinguish the outlines of the shore now coming rapidly nearer. As they crept round the southern cheek of Toint Kansas the Argentine ceased paddling and placed a warning hand" on Gray's arm. The cliff was so high and steep that its shadow plunged into deepest gloom the water at its base. Suarez, however, had imbibed a good deal of savage lore during his enforced residence on the island. lie stretched well forward over the bows, held a paddle as far in front as possible and thus not only guided the drifting canoe by an occasional dip of the blade, but trusted to it for warning of any unseen rock. There was a cold breeze on the surface of the bay, but the dog was the only one that shivered, and his tremors arose from excitement At last they felt a slight bump. The Argentine had found the reef he was searching for. By watching a star it was easy enough to follow the southerly bend taken by the canoe in 6kirting this barrier, while their ears caught the murmur of the swift current amid the numerous tiny channels of the rocks. Suddenly this swirl and hum of fast flowing water ceased. Elsie and Gray became aware that Suarez was cautiously drawing himself Inboard again. Then his paddle dipped with a noiseless stroke. The canoe was Inside the Alaculof harbor. The midnight blackness was now something that had a sense of actual obstruction in it. It seemed that a hand put forth would encounter a wall. The tide was here, but no perceptible current. For all they could tell to the contrary, they might have been floating in Charon's boat across someStygian poo!

For a minute or two Elsie's brave heart failed her. Here was a difficulty which desperate courage could not surmount There might be dozens of canoes moored on all sides, but to discover them In this pitch darkness wa3 so obviously impossible that she almost made up her mind to abandon this part of her enterprise. Yet the narrow beamed Fuegian craft 6he was in would hold only four more occupants, and that with a certain risk and unwieldiness. She was as determined as ever to ; cross the bay and endeavor to communicate with the imprisoned men. But ; she recognized the absurdity of the ' thought that Courtenay and Tollemache would consent to escape in the canoe and leave the others to their fate, even If such a thing were practicable. Oddly enough, the one person whose daring might reasonably be suspected gave no signs of the pangs of doubt. Suarez pushed forward resolutely. He knew what Elsie had forgottenthat in each canoe used by the Indians there was a carefully preserved fire, whose charcoal embers retained some heat and glow all night The first intimation of this fact was revealed by the pungent fumes which environed them. Elsie could not help uttering a little gasp of relief. There was a slight movement in front. Gray leaned back and touched her hand. 'Suarez says," he whispered, "that you are to be ready with your tow ropes. As he secures each canoe he will pass it along to me. You will be able to see its outlines by the dim glimmer of the fire. But how will you manage about the dog? He may cause an alarm." Much to Joey's disgust, he was forthwith muzzled with a piece of rope not that this device would atop him effectually from barking, but Elsie thought he would so resent the indignity that he might pay less heed to outer circumstances. She needed do ;warnlng that Indians were near. The Argentine miner's description of the community which dwelt on Otter creek

made her understand that there were hundreds within hail. A great joy leaped up in her when the first canoe came under her hand. It was quite easy to manipulate the painter rope. The stem had a notched koob provided for this very purpose, and there was a sternpost against which a steersman might press a paddle and thus swerve the canoe In any direction. But it was slow work. The craft were moored without any semblance of order, yet Suarez was forced to secure them in a definite sequence or a string of half a dozen would become unmanageable. When the second canoe was made fast Gray bent toward the girl once more. "I have been listening to the tick of my watch," he breathed against her ear. "I reckon it has taken ten minutes to collect two dugouts.- Unless we mean to rema.fca.aU,rJght we. jgaustkt

up on the cutting adrift proposition." . "I agree," she murmured. "But wa must have two more." ne told Suarez of the new development which was essential, though It. added to the danger of the enterprise. By sheer good fortune, however, they blundered against the lifeboat. A dog barked, and Elsie had a thrilling struggle with Joey, who was furious that this unlooked for insolence should go unanswered. The sleepless cur that yelped ashore speedily subsided, but it appeared to be an age before Suarez moved again. He knew better than his companions how ready the Indians were to note such sentinel challenges. Elsie found the painter of the lifeboat coiled in Its proper place. Soon she experienced a steady pull on the rope. Her little fleet was in motion. Gray began to help in the paddling. Ere long they came under the Influence of the tide, and she heard the ripple of the water against the planks of tho boat. Then Suarez called a halt and a parley. , It would be better, he advised, to use the oars in the heavy boat than attempt to tow it across the strong current from a canoe. They would gain time and be safer. So they climbed Into the lifeboat, but continued to tow the canoes. Suarez, somewhat weak from his knock oa the head overnight, was not equal to the strain of continued exertion, so Elsie and Gray took two oars each and allowed their companion to rest When, judging by the surrounding hills, they were half way acrosa the inlet Gray stooped low in the boat, struck a match and .looked at his watch. It was long after 1 o'clock. There could be no doubt whatever that the dawn would find them far from the ship, no matter how fortunate they might be in their further adventures. It was well for Elsie that she had learned how to scull when in her teens and that her muscles were in fair condition owing to her skill at

tennis. Even so, she feared that she could never hold out against the sustained stress of that pull across tho bay. The heavy boat intended to be rowed by 6ix men, had the added burden of four canoes. It was back breaking work, but she neither faltered nor sighed until Suarez said: "Let me take your place now, senorita. In ten minutes we shall be at the mouth of the creek, though heaven . only knows how we shall find it" fTo tie CactlnueO.7 Prudence. "John," said the bride, as they were starting away, "haven't you forgotten something?" "I don't think so, darling. What do you mean?" "I didn't see-you hand anything to the minister." "Oh, that's all right IH pay him when we get back from our wedding trip. I'll know better then than I do now how much he ought to laye."
