London appears to nave gone quite wild over rubber speculation. Reports. from the stock exchanges show that at times the excitement over rubber flota- tions leads to something very like pan- demonium. Many of the operators have shouted themselves until they have been unable to utter a sound. Rubber specu- lation is likely to be much overdone, and investors will be fortunate if the craze does not have a result like that of the tulip craze, or the South Sea 13ubble.

CHAPTER III, When Clifford came baele again he found his patient --still pale and. lan- guid -ensconsed in a buge easy hair by the fire-Mimie kneeling on the rug, and Illeeihe sitting opposite with some fancy work. "That's right," said Dr. Clifford, sit. tine down beside Mrs.--Brrington, and taking her hand, "I see my- girls have taken care of you." "Oh, you are all too kind," faltered Christine; "but I &all be able to go to London this afternoon," "Go to -fiddlesticks!" said the doctor, gruffly. "Your pulse is very low and weak still, and no wonder. You don't leave here till 1 think proper." "But, Doctor Clifford, please listen. I must go; you have all done to much already for a perfect stranger of whom you know nothing- Nay, hear me!" "Oh, I'll hear you, if you're a veritable sea lawyer, but as to knowing nothing -lemi-you are pronel, and have a will of your own" -lightly touching the reso- lute but tender mouth -"and so have I. Physicians are autocrats, and you don't go till 1 choose -that's flat!" "Doctor Clifford," said Christin,e, des- perately, "I feel under false pretences till you hear me. I was not a passenger aboard the Undine, but only her stew- erdess, shipped for the home trip." "Very good, my dear Mrs. Errington; and an honest, respectable berth, too," said the physician, composedly. "The ups and downs of life have no law but neeessity; you are none the less a well- born, well-bred lady because Dame For- tune chose somehow to make a, football of you and kick you out of your proper place into the berth of a steavardess; and I'll be bound, yon did your duty as such, too. You 'stuck by your ship and skipper like a brick, too!" She flushed up. "That was only my duty, as belong- ing to the ship/' she said, quickly. "One more in the other boats wOuld have periled them. Besides, every one else had friends or relatives to mourn and suffer by their loss, and. I have none, as t told you." • "I scarcely took that literally -quite so literally," said Clifford, huskily, gla.ne- lag involuntarily at the wedding -ring. "You are so young." Christine saw that glance, and her teeth set close for a, momenta than he nal "I meant it literally. I am 'twenty- four, and I -I lost my husba.nd years Nice" "Years agol" repeated both father and daughter in a, breath, as if they could not have heard aright. "Yes," she said, quietly) but, like her fa,oe, that rioh, low voice of hers had a world of suppressed passion and force underlyinf it. "Nearly Rix yeaan ago I married, just over sixteen, a young ar- tist, and in barely two years he died." "Good heavens! a widow at eighteen!" muttered the doctor. "What oould you do?" "Ay, I had to face it 600n "enough," she said, still looking steadily into the fire. "I went back to the old aunt who bad brought me up -the only relative I had -but hi a few months she too died, and with her her income; but I had a little -- about fifty pounde a year -of my own, so I was aisle to think what best to do. Ah! pardon me—" sh.e paused abrupt- ly; but therm three deeply interested faces and the dootorte earnetst "Please go on!" made it almoet incumbent on her to continue the explanation of the an - °milieus position, in which she admittedly stood. "I could not live on that," Mrs. Er- rington went on. "I was highly edueat- ed and accom,plished,very musical, 1 spoke several languages, and I had tra- veled. I was too young to teach, and I hated it; the humdnun life would have maddened my restless spirit," "I am certain of that," said Clifford, sotto voce. 'But what else could you do, then?" asked Blanche Leroy, in genuine sur- prise. "Several things, Miss Leroy. I could" go as a traveling ocenpanion, lady-cour- lere, and I did so. and as I never minded how I nrade myself useful, and if the ex- act berth was net to hand,. took What was, I have seldom been long out of employment. But I was hard driven this time in New York. I had_ been travelling. in Europe with an American lady and her daughter, and he& taken them back to New York, where / wee to be paid up the greater part of ;Wary due to me. When Ivo arrived, lot tha hus- band had failed utteriy-and, in fact, they all &appeared. I tried to get something before my small fun& evera gone, but in vain; my 'wet reference, too, was nil, and any other was across the Atlantic. At last I had net snough to pay my passage to England. One evening I heard that the stewardess of the "(Incline, Red Star liner, for London, had been ran over in Broad -way that day, her leg badly broken, and she had been taken to a hospital; also that the boat must sail next maiming, and. her captain had not been able yet to get a steward- ess. I at once went down to the Undbie and offered myself for the berth, telling Captain Sebright the exact truth, which uiy boarding.house people could verify. rfew he laughedi bat he had get a ltd at lady-paesseagers.and his own wife aboard, and was bt a earner; so he shipped me, and t joined that night," "Quite an adventure," eold the dotter, "Dear me- and then to be Frbipwreoked, and lose everything -clothes and all!" "Not moll, luckily," said the fair eoutiere and ex -stewardess, amiling. "I never travel with a large wardeobe, anl I had sent over here before 1 left Paris nI save whet woe absolutely neceseary for the )un to New York and hack. And I always wore that belt with whatever money or valueblea 1 had lit it, Beside% obeli be pad, of course, directly get to town." 61 am end, indeed, to hear that youd loss is not so bad," was the hearty reply. Minnie risked: "Bat how came a steamer to he se helplese-stith a. wreck? Was the etp- tain in feta?" "Net a bit of it, Mies Clifford. Bat *0 had had a very rough ryosio.ge, *else - daily up Menzel; and that .gale of the htet forty hours wits about one of the ittaateet I have ever been ha It we could, hsve kept her engines geiug, all might heves been well, strained though she Ivas; but early laet evening eh° took green seas on board, and one, that nearly pooped her, rushed down into the engin-row and awannped out the fares, besides eerrying awuy the binnacle and damaging the eteermg-gear. Then, of course She wouldn't keep steerage way, and, hateame unmanageable, drivnig help- lessly before the gale -on, on to this lee shore. Then our eicipper fired twe el- nale of distress, and got the boats ready -with little hope though, he tall me, of their living in Sur. asea." "01), how terribly frightened. you must have been!" the girl cried, with dilated eyes. "No," said the other, quietly, "I did not fear. I was unconscious of any feeling but a sterange, calm self-possession. I suppose I had to much to do to think of fear and death sentiently. You see, I was a sort of she-ceptain," he added, with a alight smile, "and had my poor, frightened women -passengers and young ch.Haren to eneourage and oontrol, Poor things! it was hard enough to keep some of them from shrieks and confute ion, which bewilder the men, and too often loses all chance of rescue. But Captain Sebright was so cool, so splen- did, that it inspired everybody to be brave!" she said, enthusiastically. "It was such an example!" suspect, was somebody's else --quite as much," said the doctor, sig- nificantly, "Then you are out of work again, Mrs. Errington?" Clifford got up, and began walking up and down slowly, with his hands be- hind him, and s puckered brow, cogi- tating over something. His daughter turned; but at that mo- ment a waiter entered, and said that a gentleman wished to eee Dr. Clifford; he was in the next room (used foc din- ner by the Cliffords). "Excuse me, then, ladies," said the physician? and went away into the other sitting -room, where he found a middle-aged man -unmistakably ;leafage J,seg=eavaiting ,, niricrriad-a, ivariAly'gratip. nrreit41 other's hand, "/ believe I owe you dou- ble t/sanks; for I hear that you not only helped pull me and my gallant fellows ashore last night, but took charge of my stewardesss-a grand creature, sir 1" "Ah, you are, then, Captain Se - bright 1" exclaimed Dr, Clifford. "I am delighted to know you, for I have just been hearing about you from your stew- ardess. She says you inspired them all." "Nonsense! I only did my duty," said the other, quickly. "But she -she's a splendid woman! She doesn't know what fear or losing her head means. I belinva she was invaluable all the voyage, and when the gale caught us, and that aw- ful wreck came, she was just the right hand of us all, and saved me half my care and anxiety for the passengers. She Inspired us, I think. She kept up the men by a word or look -as cool as a cu- cumber. She kept the women quiet, un- der control, so that we men could aot unhampered. When the boats came alongside, she stood ready, and handed them on to ue at the gangway, stead- ily --wouldn't let 'ene hurry, push, scream, and would not leave,the ship till the last of us. 'Give 'em the chance, cap'n, she said, in that determined way of here. 'They've frienda; I've none. And if you lift rae in by force, I will jump overboard.' She would, too, sir, I tell you. She's as brave as she's hand- some -that Mrs. Erringtoni" "I am ;sure of that, Captain &bright. I hope none of your people are hurt?" "Thank you, doctor -no. All getting on well, been looking round after them, and arranging for their going on to London. Everybody is no kind to us shipwrecked folks! How Is Mrs. Erring- ton? Could I see her? As the company's agent will be down soon." 'Certainly. I'll go and send her in to you. And when you have settled your business, she must bring you to be, in- troduced to my girls." "If the ladies will excuse my unfash- ionable appearanoe, then," said the captain, glancing laughingly at his dress. "it's dry, and that's all, doctor." "All right, oaptain." And away went Clifford to send in beautiful Christine Errington, and tell his girls what the captain of the "Me- dina' had said of her. "And it confirms you in some project that popped into yoUr head, pap," said Miraie, slyly. "Don't deny it, Doctor Slyboots." "Miss Sauce -box," said he, "you're right. But you won't know it for a few days, when, ,perhaps, I will propound my project to our.guest. Hush! here she comes with Captain &bright." * * • • One thing more connected with the disaster: All attempts entirely failed to discover who was the stranger who had aided the life -boat's crew, and then res- cued the stewardess so desperately. 310 went as he came-eurknown! • CHAPTER PA The evening of the «ay after Captain Sebright's visit, Mrs. Errington herself unconsoiously gave her host an easy opening for propounding his wishes. "Doolor Clifford," she said, "I am quite strong again, and I cannot any longer intrude on your generous hos- pitality. To -morrow, please, I must go to London." To girls cried out: "Oh, no -no!" He looked at them, and instantly though of Sebright's expression, "that determined way of here. "Want to look for another 'berth, oh?" eaid Clifford, leaning his arm on the table, "I shall have to directly, certainly," answered Christine, stalling. "Ah! I supporm you wouldn't ogre for a situation that made England -London -its headquarters?" "I should not reihd it at all," she said, quite unerispeeting his drift, "if it were one 1 could take. There are one or two of my former empleroyers to whom I tan refer.) "Very good; that simplifies matterts. To be plain and to the point, Mrs. tr. ringtou, it is myself and my two girls am thinking of.

"No, indeed -no, indeed, Dr. Clifford," said Christine, earnestly. "I accept your offer, then, subject to replies from my references, of course." "Very well.

"I declare Mr. Faleoner $te Maur, you are the teolest, most audacious scamp that ever lived!" "My good. fellow, have you only just Sound. that out?" said the other, opening wide a pair of great dark eyes veiled by long, dark lashes. Kenton Morley raised his *bright eyes, aud scanned the speaker, from the maas of wavy locks, all "Golden where the sunlight played, But where tendrils sought the sha.del Dark and very beautiful," to the snia' 11, well -shaped foot that rest- ed on the carpet. , "11'm 1" he said, with an odd little dry smile, "I don't think it took me as many months as I have of years' knowl- edgeof you to find that out. I don't need, to be told at this time of day that you are up to everything, and something more besides." The other laughed and shrugged his shoulders. "Thanks -a compliment -with the bar - sinister throughit. Anything more, In a small way, while we're on that sub- ject?" "Yes. On my word, this evening I do not know whether I.am most amused, motet aghast or most angry with you." "Be all three, if you like, Ken," re- turned the unmoved Falconer, stroking the soft, drooping moustache that shad- ed his Hp. "I don't care; though, for the life of me, I can't see why you're so down on me this time. I told you when I came in, that I only wanted two thousand poinids before I go down to Newmarket." "Only!" repeated Morley, leaning one arm on the large office secretaire at which he sat. Have you forgotten that you are pretty deep still in my debt, in spite of what you have paid off from time to time? This drawer here con- tains your bills, etc., to a heavy tune, my friend. And what are they worth as security, really? Your heirship to an uncle who may at any moment cut you off with or without the proverbial shil- ling." "For which chance you get suitable in- terest, remember," suggested the younger man, with a sarenetic eerve of the haughty lip, and a quick flash in the dark -eyes. '"12he advantage isn't ail on my side, is it? Also, you hold heavy insurance on my life, the premiums of which half absorb my uncle's allowance, Also, as I have, in the long run, both skill and a twig hand at le jeu and on the turf (though 1 don't care so much for that kind of gambling, 1 keep your bagatelle of interest fairly paid up; and if 1 don't-poufl-over it goes into the capital, to stand against me.

"I don't deny it, Mr. St. Maur; but, still, I don't feel at all inclined to draw so large a cheque this evening." "I am sorry for your 'feeliege then, since I feel absolutely inclined to in. dorse the said cheque and sign the neces- sary bill belonging to the same. Get out both papers quickly, old Ken Mor- ley; my patience la nearly exhausted, if yours isn't; so hand over,. like ajewel- and you can't refuse, you know.', "But I will, then!" said Morley. "But you won't!" returned the other. The two men looked at each other steadily for fully a minute; then the eider's lips gave his eyes wavered, fell, and he leaned biack in his chair With a half laugh. "They nay there is no fool like an old fool, and only on that ground can it be, I suppose, that 1 have let you get round some unguarded, soft corner long ago, and keep your hola. Heaven only knows why I like you, for I'm sure 1 do not!"

When Hans Frederiek Jorgensen, the rigger of the pixrk department for the last twenty-four year, learned that the oteel mast of the eup defender Constitu- tion could he purchased for S600 he went to Park Commisaioner Henry Smith and, obtained his consent to buy it and erect it as a flag pole in Battery Inn* in place of the old liberty pole. Et was something of a job to get the pole into position. It was set on a steel balm imbedded in concrete. On top of the pole le a weather vane and gilded. bail. - The pole le the highest in the IJOited States, if not in the world. The length of the main polo is 109 feet, diameter at the foot 22 1-3 inehes and at the top 14 1.2 inches. The topmast is 56 feet in length, diameter at foot 12 inches and at top 3 1-2 inches. This makes the en- tire height of the pole 106 feet and the estimated 'weight is 5,800 pounds. It is made of steel. The flag flown from the pole in ordin- ary weather is 40 by 60 feet, each stripe being a yard wide. The flag ean be seen from the Narrows, at, well as front Places along the Jersey and the Brooklyn shore. On squally days a mueh smaller flag is run up. The park department is considering the question of whether or not to erect a croestree et the junction of the main pole and the topmast. b SOFT, WHITE HANDS May be Obtained in One Night.

Hats for Horses, Experiments made by Baron Henri d'Anclued, a French seientist, have re- sulted in proving that the well meant practice ot affixing straw hats to the head k of horses, for the purpose of pro- tecting them from the sun's heat not only fails to athomplish its purpose, but actually aggravates the suffering of the animals. The experiments were made when the temperature of the atmosphere was 70 degrees in the shade. Bareheaded horses standing in the sun were found to have a temperature of 86 under their fore. locks. When straw hats were put on them, their temperature under the fore- locks rose to 103. A horse moving in the eun had a temperature of 83, Under a. straw hat the temperature rose to 91, and under cloth to 100. The explanation is that the 'covering prevents the free movement of air and serves to accumulate heat. The head covering for hones should be discarded, therefore, and relief should be given by frequent sponging of the head. Inci- dentally, the result ofthese expeTimente teaches, logically, that human beings, too, would be better off hatless on hot days. -Albany Journal.
