Dun & Co., and llrndstroet, Jof Now York,
in their weekly roviow ot trade say: Traders
in wheat have lifted prices a little and yet
nobody questions the correctness of Western
reports indicating more than ordluary yield
of winter wheat and usual progress in the
planting of spring. With tho narrow stock
usual Ht this season, a speculation for ad
vaiiee always has many opportunities, but
Western receipts are still forty percent larger
tbun last year, while Atlantic expor.s, flour
included, are for the week, 943,UG7 bushels,
against 1,615,051 a year ago. After a fall to
68,'^c the price rose about two eeuts. Corn
is fll?o u shade lower, but without deflr'.lo |
h reason. Cotton speculation has lifted the |
snot price to 8.31e and prolits have been
realized front tho men who have sold cotton
thoydi! not own, but it is still tho foot that
tho outlook for next falls crop is unusually
favorable, while stocks here and abroad exceed
nil possible demands until September.
Failures for the week have been 2:11 in the
United Statef, against ?'27 year, and 24
lie Canada against 34 last year,

LoVc proifuoc'i no nic.i. tury disturbance is

conditions aua cr the prevailing confidence I
of bettor things to cotno. Much of the licsi- |
tntion ut present in <lu? to temporary reduced
demand lp some industries, and in iron and
steel the power of the new combinations is
being generally tested by refusal of orders,
so that production exceeds consumption,
but consumption exceeds new buying. For
textile manufacture, it is trying.
l'rint cloths are au eighth higher but somo
other grades have declined, so that the average
of all quotations is slightly lower.
llclntivcly unfavorable features of the general
business situation this week Include unseasonably
cool weather, which at some
centres has ? becked trade; contiuued surplus
stocks of cotton, which depresses prices, uuil11
ess and idle machinery in the woolen goods
industry; a falling off in demand for lumber
at Ht. Louis and Minneapolis and eonntiuued
dullness in iron and steel, where, although
mills and furnaces are fairly active, there is a
continued absence of new orders. Chicago
jobbers report the week's business in light
seasonable fabrics as only fairly satisfactory,
transactions in clothing smaller than in thu
like period 11 year ago, and the leather market
weaker, owing to luck of demand, but
light hardware relatively more active.

A MYSTER
til, Mux ! I Hung my
arms around Lis neck
ami kissed him ! What
shall 1 do?"
"How could you
havo made t>ucii a mistake?"
"In the dusk ho
looked exactly like
you. Of course, the moment ho spoko
my horrible blunder Hashed upon mo
and I fled."
"No nonsense, K.iy. 1 will see him
and cxpluiu the mutter. If ho is so
much liko mo nc doubt ho is a very
decent follow."
This conversation took place between
a charming girl and her brother,
who wore stayiug at a certain hotel in
a well-known scasido rosorr. To this
hotel I came in search of health to restore
a nervous system which had been
failing lately, and, indeed, had never
quite recovered from a shock caused
by a horrible aocident which had happened
to me several years ago.
I had bceu lured by a madman into
his house under pretence of playiug a
gumo of billiards, to find myself a
prisoner with an armed lunatic, who
forced mo to play tho gamo for tho
highest possible stako?life itself.
Fortunately I won ; but my opponent,
although ho fultilcd the conditions of
our game by shooting himself, with refinement
of cruelty tiod me iu a fainting
condition to the billiard tublo so
that I might witness his death. Indeed,
his vindietivenoss wont further
than, this, for ho branded my leg with
a hot iron and wrote a paper in which
he accused me of taking his life.
1 was charged with tho murder, but
acquitted, us the fact of my being discovered
bound and the strange appearance
of the liodv attired in the cos
tumo of Mephistopheles?a character
the madman endeavored to assume?
was suflicieut to prove my side of the
story. Even the astuteness of Scotland
Yard proved powerless, lor ail the police
couid discover, after a long search
into tho antecedents of the unfortunate
man, was the fact that lie had been
conliued in a lunatic asylum.
I needed no proof to convince mo
that the man was mad. But there was
a method in his madness. Until I met
him in a public billiard saloou, whence
ho took iue to his house, i hud never
set oyc9 on him before. Then what
was the reason for tho cruel hutred he
evidently felt toward me? Two clews
I possessed, but as each had proved
usoless to tho detectives, it was not
likely that the.y would lead mo to a
a solution of tho alTuir.
First I discovered that in branding
my leg the wretch had traced tho letters
KACBE. That these letters represented
tho German word "Revenge"
I was perfectly aware; but what was I
to leuru from that? That tho mau
was a German? 1 think not. His ncceut
plniuly told me he was English.
No doubt revenge was his object, but
tho meaning of those letters remained
a mystery.
My other clew was a note which I
found dunug a subsequent visit to the
fatal room, hidden under a carpet.
Although it bore no address, I suppose
it was meant for me, as it spoke of the
writer being avenged at last after a
chaso half rouud tho world of one who
had stolen his money, murdered his
intended wifo ar.d attempted to murder
him. This appeared to he nothing
more than the ranting of a mind diseased,
and I soon gave up all hope of
ever getting to the bottom of the mystery
of my terrible game of billiards.
On reaching tho hotel, on the day
my story opens, another shock awaited
roe, though of a somewhat, dillercut
L'in.l Au f piitpivul t Iwt tin 11 n
in? girl rr.u up to mo, Hung her arms
around toy nock, kissed me and murmured
:
"You darling, I'm so glad vou'vo
corao!"
In my embarrassment I said something,
out tlio fair damsel had llown
like a startled bird.
"A little thing like that makes one
fool at liouio directly," I said to myself
with a smile, for, as a single man,
I knew the value of a pretty girl's
kisses, and would have hko.l a more
extended interview. 1 looked forward
to dinner that night witli much eagerness
and longed to see the lady who
distributed her kisses so rashly.
In the drawing room, beforo the
gong sounded, my wish was gratified.

that tho kisH was intended for himself,
and introduced his sister, who apologized
for her mistake in the sweetest
manner. I sat next Miss Carstsirs at
dinner, and in tho cour.su of conversation
remarked that once before 1 hud
been mistaken for another man witii
nearly a fatal result to myself.
'Oil, do tell mo about it," alio said.
I was about to do so when she
added:
"lint, no, plcaso wait until after
dinner; then .Max can hear the story,
too."
I am afraid my eyes were scarcely
lifted from my beautiful companion
during dinner. Already love had eon

quercd. You see. fit the outset, bcioro
there bad been time to so inucbaa
declare war, tho position had been
stormed, the citadel "rushed" by that
delightful kiss! And now it was sufticient
happiness for mo to watch the
changing lights in a pair oT 6upphirc
eyes, whose dusky lashes curled upward
as though in wanton contrast
with the tendrils of the auburn tresses
above.
We three took our coffeo in the gardon
that warm September night.
"Now," exclaimed Carstairs, "Ray
is dying to hear your story, so go
ahead !"
"Well," said I, thinking what n
sweet numo Ray Carstairs was, "although
it happeuod several years ago,
the incident still remains painfully
fresh in my memory. It wa| nu adventure
I had with a mad billiard
player.
They both started.
"Max," said hissister, "doesn't that
remind you of what happened at?"
"Yes," ho replied, before she could
finish tho sontauoa. "hut don t inter
rapt, l'lease go on,'' ho added.
la n ruomcut it flashed upon rac
that the solution of the mystery lay
within ray grasp. This man, wuo so
strangely resembled me, was the intended
object of the raaiman's revenge.
"Is it possible," I cried, springing
to ray feet in excitement, "that you
aro the raau?"
"1 don't understand," paid Carstairs,
looking as perplexed and startled
as his sister at ray sudden outburst
of feeling.
"Of course not ?of course not," 1
murmured, sinking into ray chair. "1
will tell you the whole story, then
you will know what I mean."
As J went through the horrible dei
tails of that fearful night they listened
with rapt atteutiou.nndunlessthe darkness
deceived rae, I detected tears ol
sympathy in the beautiful eyes of Kay
Curst airs.
"You are right!" exclaimed hei
brother, as I finished; "all you suffered
was iutended for me. Now, loi
my Htory, which will clear up tlit
mystery.
Miss Carstairs rose.
"1 think I'll run off to lied, Max.
I'm very tired, and it's getting late.'
She kissed her brother, then gave
her haud to me.
"Good night," she said, "let us
hope it will be tino to-morrow."
Reluctantly I relinquished her hand,
but there was hope in that relerence
to the weather. Might it not mean ?
walk together in the morning?
I tinished the evening in Max Car
stairs's room ; and while wo smoked
he told his strauge story.
"Mark Malbrain was the man'c
name." ho continued "and I met him
| nt a hydropathic establishment in tin
I North, where my sister and I were
; staying one summer about eoven 01

Then the party broke up, but Maibrain
waited for me on the stairs. His
face was livid with passion.
" *1 hope you aro satisfied,' ho said
hoarsely.
'I am sorry,' I replied, 'if tho
stakes were too high, but later you
, may have your revenge!'
" 'llevcnge!' ho shouted, losing his
self-control. 'I'll huvo my revenge!
We'll play again and you'll find tho
stakes still higher?too high for you !"
"I had cood reason to remember
tho30 words when I awoke odo night,
to find Midbrain in my room dressed
i in bis fantastic costume of '.Mephisiopheles.'
" 'Come,* 6aiil he, 'otio of 113 must

"I knew as I sprang from ray bod
1 that the mau was mad ! Wo grappled
together, the candle fell from his
k bauds, and wo struggled in darkness.
Down we went on the floor, and I felt
the cold steel of a revolver, which exploded
and a sharp pain camo in my
arm. Then I heard doors opening and
voices, eo I held on till some of tho
fellows came in with lights. '.Mephistopheleb*
was carried off to his own
1 room, raving and struggling. Tho
slight wound in ray arm was dressed
by the doctor connected with the
establishment, who also took tho unfortunato
lunatic under his care.
i "Later on Malbrain was sent to a
private asylum. The doctor's opinion
was tbat brain lesion had threatened
?tho poor fellow for some time.
''WJiether he had escaped from the asylum
when ho met you, or had been
: (discharged as cured, ouo cannot say.
i However, my story," concluded Carstairp,
"lias solved the mystery of
your unfortunnto encounter with the
wretched man."
"Yep," I said, musing on the strango
account I had heard. "Hut I wonder
I why he charged you with murdering
Miss Carstaus? And he also repeated
t the accusation in the paper I found.
1 suppose it was soiuo wild idea he
had got Hold of in his mad jealousy of
L you."
"Yes," said Carstairs. "You eeo,
f ho thought wo were rivals, and he
r knew I was the cause of Hay's disappearance."
"Then there is another thing that
puzzle me. Why did tho madman
brand mv leg with the word 'Rache?' "
? "It is German for revenge," said
Carstaira.
"Yep, but Malbrain was not a German,
po why should ho uae that language?"
i "Can't say. I suppose tho marks
have entirely gone by this time?"
> "Yes; but the poliee had them
photographed, and I think I have got
one of the photos in my portmanteau."
'I found the card and handed it to

"1 never felt it at the time?I was

"Ah! 1 have it!" cried Carstairs.
"That full stop explains it. Of coutse,
the word ho meant to trace was
'Rachel,' only lor some reason he
didn't finish the *Jj.' Ha! ha! ha!

About a Marvelous Clock.
Speaking of wonderful timpieces, n
yellow old book tells a story about ti
, clock made by Droz, a mechanic oi
Geneva. Thore wore to bo seen on ii
j an African, a dog and a shepherd.
I When the clock struck the shepherd
played six tunes on his flute and tin
^ dog approached and fawned upon him.
This clock was exhibited to the King
y of Spain, who wes delighted with it.
"The gentleness of my dog," said
L, Uros, "is his least merit, lf'youi
j majesty touch ono of the apples whicL
j you see iu tho shepherd's basket yon
t will admire tho fidelity of this animal.'
The king took au applo and tho dop
0 flow at his hand and barked so loiul
B that tho king's dog began to bark. Al
this tho couriers, not doubting thai
^ I the clock was bowitched, hastily loft
j the room, crossing themselves as thej
went. Tho Minister of Marino was tin
only ono who remained. The kinp
1 asked him to enquire of the African
j tho time of day. The minister obeyed,
j but received no rosponse. Droz thou
observed that tho African had not vol
learned to speak Spanish, whereas the
B question was repeatod iu French, anil
3 tho African immediately nnswerod.
j At this now prodigy tho Minister ol

I roous advertising writer, makes a
specialty of medical advertisements.
f He has studied medicine and has a
f habit of analysing the ingredients of
very medicine about which he is
| ^ asked to write, refusing to write
| i advertisements for medicines whioh
! he cannot indorse. He says of
j Bipans Tabulus: "I hod the formula
and went through it from the
t ground up. I found thst every ona
? of the Ingredients was put in for
I some speolal purpose, and was good
for the purpose Intended. I have as
much confidence in Ripens Tabula*
la x iu%*n iu iiu^iuiuk x nvor wtuih f
, about. I take them myself when I .
! have eaten a little too much or fool .
' nausea or symptoms of headache
coming on, anil I (lad thorn quickot
to act than any medioino I ever
took. I know soma people who
think thoy can't possibly get along
without them. My wife went to
\ call ouo .tayon some friends she ha.l
; known always. She found they
i swore hy Rlpans Tabulos. They did
not km.w that alio knew anything
about them or that 1 had written
anything for them. By the way, It
you swallow them properly, you
I don't taste anything in the mouth.
: Kwaliow them quickly anil you are
' nil right. You oau feel their action '
i | in the stomuch almost immediately;
j ! very pleasant sensation." ,
