The publisher of Action in paper covers was not feeling very amiable when the young lady novelist called on him. "I cnllr.ri to see about my story," said th?- young lady novelist. "Oh. the one which Is entitled 'Marietta'? Marriage; or, a Life Story from a Hook of Cigarette Papers.' " "Yes; that's It." "Well, ifs a pretty good novel. Put you us bear In mind that, as lltterntoors, we're responsible for the education of th?? nuhllr In a rortnln d*?irrat?. We must not be too improbable. SOta*tlmes you have to be a little improbable now and then In order to fascinate your reader, but you <-?n be reasonable a good deal of the time." "Hut if you try that. isn't your reader likely to become un fascinated?" she Inquired. "Not if you're judicious* Now. the only objection I have to your story Is the Incident wlch represents the heroine us Jumping out of a third-story window on to an awning over a meat store In order to escape th<* abductors who ore on her track. It's too much to risk on an awning. And. besides, it's more than HkHy that any nbdudtpr that knew his busings would have a" confederate pouted outride to catch her when she Ik unced off. Of course, you've got her cornered, and she's got t,rt get away f -iiiehow. Hut I must sny it doesn't ound quite artistic to me." She had been thinking while he talked. and she remarked: "Suppose we tlx It this way: Sh** was on her way home from the milliner's, where ph<* bought the most'fashionable h it In the window. She was walking through the park when she saw her pursuers on her tra^k. She krtiw sh?* must art quickly.

How she rejoiced that ahe had not carried out h^r threat to go without rnther than pay ho much! The men who had no often abducted her before were foiled at lant. They came within a few feet of her hldInc place, and one of them paused, but only to rTnark that he had never before seen a flower bed and shrubbery In thai part of the park. Marietta wan iwv*wl?"

There was still futther advance In the price of stocks all along the line to-day, and a still further Increase In the number of shares sold during the day. The number of different stocks traded In was also larger, reflecting the broadening Interest in the market. Buying orders from outside sources were placed with commlslson houses more extensively today than on any day since the movement began. As was the case yesterday, this outside demand was taken advantage of to realize profits by the combination of large speculative interests, which Is all the time* operating on an enormous scale, shifting Its activity from one stock or group of stocks to another. The grangers all showed the effects of realizing to-day, and did not riso materially above yesterday's closing price at any time. So large were the offerings of these stocks during the first hour of trading that the heavy outside demand proved insufficient to absorb them, and a sharp decline was the result. Burlington dropped over a pdint. Offerings on a largo scale were thereupon withheld and the group maintained a firm tone at a lower level, except for intervals of profit taking. The bears endeavored to take advantage of this profit taking movement by an onslaught upon Manhattan and Sugar at the opening, hoping that the reccnt persistent weakness of these two stocks would make them vulnerable and effective In breaking prices. But the bulls at the same time lifted the Northern Paclfio stocks a point each at the opening, and marked up Rubber preferred 4V4 per cent. The outside demand for stocks all through the list was so active and varied as to lend ample support for continued Droflt taking by the bull clique. The bears were Boon routed, and Manhattan and Sugar moved upwards along with the general list. Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific stocks sagged at Intervals, but the former returned persistently to the opening high level. An Incident of the day was a notice on the tape of the loss of 3,000 shares of Union Pacific preferred In -the name of William Rockefeller. New stocks were constantly being brought forward into activity during the day and were advanced one after the other to a materially higher level. Southern railways and Bome of the western roads which ore affiliated with transcontinental systems showed notable strength. There was also marked activity and strength in a long list of Industrials, Tobacco, People's Gas, Lead, Tennessee Coal and the Rubber stocks being especially conspicuous. There were sharp reactions in most of these on profit taking, but they rallied again before the close. The close wns firm and active at only a little below the best and at a materially higher level of prices throughout. The demand for securities has apparently been largely diverted to the stock market, and bonds were comparatively dull to-day. but prices were very well held. Total sales 13,575.000. United States 3c, when issued, were % lower bid. Governments were otherwise unchanged. Total sales of stocks to-day, 700,900 shares. BONDS AND STOCK QUOTATIONS. U. 8. new 4s rcg.127M Ore. R.

Wheat got a weak start from Liverpool sending lower quotations, but there was a disposition during the first couple of hours to go slow on the selling side and take small profits on the decline. Th* crowd during that time was evidently restrained from selling freely by the fact that the Increased movement that country advices had been predicting for u day or two. had not yet got beyond the stage of probability. Chicago received 215 cars and Minneapolis and Duluth got 245. against 322 a year ago. Primary western markets received an aggregate of 653,000 bushels, against 884.000 bushels <he corresponding day of the year before. Clearances from the Atlantic seaboard were equal In wheat and flour to 400.000 bushels. The seaboard was bearIshly inclined and the northwest advices were nil In favor of lower prices in view of the expected heavier receipts up there. The speculative market turned fearfully dull and there was not much activity In 4he cash department of the business. The latter might have shown more life had mocks been heavier, but people who had bids at from 5 to 6c a bushel premium over September In store for shipping parcels of No. 2 Kansas hard and No. 2 rod winter, could not get offers for anything like the quantity there was orders for from the seabonrd. Kansas City's general remark In answer to bids from hero was that c?sh wheat or spot for August shipment was scaree. as millers were paying the shipping rates for the moderate offerings from farmers. That condition of affairs had some little effect In hardening the tone of the speclatlve market, but It apparently depended more upon prudentlnl covering by shorts than buying for long account fnr ?hi? mMltlnnn! nrlce caused by the peculiar condition of the cash market. September opened unchanged to higher nt fl.'?{7G3V4c, anld off 'to 64%c and rallied to G3fcc bid at the cloae.
