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

-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,

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

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

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.

said Christine, earnestly. "I accept your

"Very well. Now, do you still imaist

wide a pair of great dark eyes veiled by
long, dark lashes.
Kenton Morley raised his *bright eyes,

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,

is a jewel, Ken, and you must confess
that, taken all in all, we are at even
odds."
"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!"

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.

The Chamber of Deputies will discuss
the proposed new press law, or the
Battelle bill, as it is known, during its
present period of sessions, according to
Congressman Diodoro Batelle.
For some time several members of the
chamber have been considering the ad-
visability of introducing radical reforms
in the present law on publications with
the view of enlarging the liberties of
journalists and publishers in expressing
thoughts and opinions, the present law
being considered as too strict. Con-

will be passed.-Mexiean Herald.

• The Power of Oratory.
, Can one imagine a more thrilling
and exhilarating pleasure than that
of ewaying with one's words a lis-
tening host of people, warming Or
cooling their pensions, bending their
thoughts and wine, in the direction
of one's own thoughta and will, even
as Bryan did at the Chicago conven-
tion in 1896P This power has wrought
mightily for both good and evil, and
it le astonishing that nowadays so
few speakers should train themselves
to wield so skilfully such an effective
weapon. Every lawyer, every preach-
er, every pblitician, every man, in
fact, who has occasion to address aud-
iences, ought to study the technique of
oratory so that he can at will, within
his own sphere and limitations, in-
terest and persuade his hearera.,-

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.
