HEARD ON THE BOURSE.

Financial Bureau The late heavi

ness yesterday was not on account of news reports, but seems to us to have

been a natural reaction. Dick We have pointed out the dan

ger of buying on strong spots and the lack of security in the market because of the prominent part in which manipulation has played in the rise. We continue to urge caution and to express

the opinion that the market Is getting

to the stage known to Wall street as

toppy.

Bache The reaction of yesterday Is a good sign but we do not look for It to go very far. We favor buying

on dips.

Logan Believe conditions justify

buyers in taking hold of corn on first

good dip.

White independent shippers are

cleaning up preparatory to abandoning

the field in favor of the leading bull

who took the stock May 1 and is now

merchandising. Ware & Leland We think advant

age will be taken of hard spots to dispose of long wheat and with this in

mind selling operations may be ad

visable.

Pringle While it will not do to get

too enthusiastic on bulges, the situa

tion warrants higher prices for July wheat as we see it and we still advise getting long of it on all little re

actions.

Bartlett The effect of bad weather on farmer is noticeable In his attitude toward the high bids sent out Saturday night, acceptances being practically

nothing.

Joseph There is an excessive short interest in Copper and conservative

purchases are advised. The Union Pa

cific issue will be a howling success

Hold Harriman stocks. Pennsylvania

ex-div. 3 per cent will loog mighty attractive. Buy New York Central

conservatively.

He did not exaggerate in thus expressing his fear. Time and again they neared the shore only to hear the tidal swell breaking heavily on the rocks. The lights of the Kansas, fully three

miles away, could only tell them that they were in the neighborhood of the place where Courtenay had last been seen in this Identical boat. The least divergence from the line given by the position of the ship meant a differenco

of hundreds of yards at 6iich a dls

tance, and there was an ominous lightening of the gloom, accompanied by a

dimming of the stars, when Gray hit on

the idea that the powerful current had probably carried them a good deal

southward of the point they were aim

lng at. He suggested that they should boldly pull a quarter of a mile or so against the tide and then try their luck. Their progress, of course, became slower than ever, and Elsie began to despair that they would ever find the

mouth of the stream which ran through the cleft in the hill when she suddenly saw the luminous crescents which heralded the 6unrise over the

Inner mountain range. They could not

be visible unless there was a break in

the cliffs in that locality.

"Pull in now," she whispered tense

ly, and with a little further effort they

found that the boat was traveling not

against but with the tide, which was flooding a small offshoot of the main estuary. Precaution became not only useless, but impossible. They were all worn out. Nothing but the most inflexible determination on the part of Elsie and Gray, eked out by a certain desponding fear of both of them felt by Suarez, had shstained them thus far. They went on and on. They swept rapidly Into the jaws of a precipitous defile, the lofty crests on either hand coming momentarily nearer against the brightening sky. It did not seem credible that this sheer cut through the heart of a gigantic hill could continue for more than a few yards nor that anything save a bird could find foothold pn its steep sides. Yet the current flowed smoothly onward through a wealth of vegetation which clung precariously to every ledge and natural escarpment. Joey, embarrassed by his gag, nevertheless managed to emit a warning growl. Then the boat crashed Into a canoe, and a hoarse yell of alarm came from beneath the lowermost trees, whose dense foliage flung a pan over the water. Gray was seized with an inspiration. He grasped the canoe as it bumped along, the gunwale and held it down on one side until it filled and sank. He sent another and yet a third

guzzling to the bottom before the outburst of raucous cries from both banks showed there were Indians here in some force. Stones, too, began to hum around them. Some struck the boat, but the greater number whizzed nnpleasantly close to the heads of the two men and the girl, proving conclusively that they were visible to the unseen enemy. Gray whipped forth the revolver and fired twice. The second time a shriek of pain told that he had hit one of their assailants. The two reports made a deafening din In that place of echoes. They appeared to stir the Indians Into a perfect frenzy, and it was evident by the sounds that the islanders had not much liberty of movement on the narrow strips of land they occupied on both sides of the gorge. Elsie caught some significant splashing behind her. "They are swimming toward the canoes!" she screamed. Telling Suarez to pull for all he was worth, Gray clambered to the stern of the boat and emptied the revolver at what he took to be the black heads of the swimmers. "Quickl Load it again!" he said, and Elsie obeyed with a nimbleness and certainty that were amazing. The American fired three more shots before he was satisfied that the canoes were untenanted and not cut adrift They were now leaving the pandemonium behind, and Elsie, bethinking herself of the dog, freed him from that most objectionable muzzle. Joey forthwith awoke the welkin with his uproar; but, although the girl strained her ears for eome answering hail, she could detect nothing beyond ,the bawling of Indians at each other across tho narrow creek and the repeated echoes of the dog's barking. About this time Gray began to suspect that the tide was bearing them onward at a remarkable rate. They were being impelled toward an unknown destination with the silence and gathering speed of a mill race. An expert engineer, though his work may have little to do with sea or river, cannot fail to accumulate a store of theoretical knowledge as to the properties and limitations of water in motion. Gray knew that the quickened impulse of the stream arose from the tidal force exerted in a channel which gradually lessened its width. The boat was traveling at sea level. Therefore there could be neither rapids nor cataract in front, but the steady rush of the current, now plainly audible, could not be accounted for simply by the effort of the tide to gain a passage through a mere byway, as the boat was now nearly half a mile from the estuary, and the velocity of the current was increasing each moment. "We must endeavor to reach the bank and hoM on to the branches of a tree!" he shouted in Spanish. "Down with your heads until the boat strikes and then try to lay hold of something!" - There was no time for explanation.

He seized an oar. A powerful stroke

"Cheer up. Mist Maxwell," said he. swung the boat's nose rotind. By chance he used the starboard oar. . All unknowing he spun a coin for life or death, and life won. They crashed through some drooping foliage and ran into a crumbling bank. Gray unshipped the oar and Jammed It straight down. It stock between stones at a depth of three feet, and the lifeboat was held fast for the time. The canoes hurtled against each other, but were swept aside Instantly. When the noise ceased they plainly heard the swirl of the water. In their new environment it had the uncanny and sinister hiss of some monstrous snake. "Everybody happy?" Gray demanded coolly. "I am clinging to a tree trunk," answered Elsie. "Bully for you. Make fast with a piece of rope. But be careful to proTide a slipknot in case we have to sheer off in a hurry. Can you manage that?' "Quite welL" Elsie was fully aware that the leadership of the expedition had gone from her. She was not sorry. It was la strong hands. Suarez, too, secured a stout branch and passed a rope around
