NEW YORK. Feb. 27. ? Apprehen
sion arising from th?* further strain of
relations between Washington and
Berlin was aeain the overshadowing
feature of t ?i?- stock . market today.
Lowest prices prevailed in the later
dealings when it became known that
the government at Washington con
sidered .the sinking of the Luconia as
"the overt act."
Trading was narrow and moderate
a: all periods of the session, except on
a temporary rebound of prices in the
first hour, when the. usual speculative
favorites displayed a fair degree of
animation. With the cessation of
short covering prices r>li back again,
rails losing ground with less stable
issues.
I'nited States Steel was absorbed
in round amounts during the forenoon
and was sold, with equal freedom
later, fltiotuafinc between anil
1"S. closing at a net loss of %
of a point. Other steel shares were
more irregular.
Coppers were steady at the outset ,
on an active demand for the metal.'
but yielded 1 to 2 points with Central
Leather, oils, motors and their acces
sories and various unclassified stocks
on comparatively small offerings.
Shippings lost 2 to 3 points after
early gains. The early strength of
sugars and fertilizers was dissipated
in the general setback of the last
hour.
Rails were more active but almost
wholly at the expense of quoted
values. Total sales amounted to 4t]0,
000 shares.
A break in lires to ?.f>4 featured the
foreign exchange marker, remittances
to other continental points showing no
material change.
I'nited States bonds were un-J
changed on call. * 1

THE SON OF THE WOLF
BY JACK LONDON.
(Continuod Prom Monday.)
All ciim was banished. The forest,
which shouldered in upon them from
i three stiles, was an inexhaustible wood
| yard. A few yards from their door
?-? 1 1- 1 ? t the Porcupine, and a hole through
Its winter robe formed a bubbling
spring of water, crystal clear and pain
fully 1'iHd. But they sunn grew to find
fault with even that. The hole would
Persist in freezing up. and thus pave
: them many a miserable hour of ice
<1> ?> P pi :i K"- The unknown builders of the
! cabin had extended the side-logs so as
[to support a cache at the rear. In this
was stored the bulk of the party's pro
| visions. Foot I there was. without stint.
I fur three times tin- men who were fated
in live upon it. Jiut the most of It was
of the kind which built up brawn and
j sinew, but' did not tickle the palate.
I True, there was sugar In plenty for two
ordinary men: but these two were little
else than children. They early discov
loredthe virtues of hot water judicious
ly saturated with sugar, and they prodi
gally swam their flapjacks and soaked
I their crusts in the rich, white syrup.
Then coffee and tea. and especially the
drlfd fruits, made disastrous Inroads
upon it. The first words they had were
over the sugar question. And it is a
| really serious thing when two men,
wholly dependent upon each other for
| company, begin to quarrel.
Weatherbeo loved in discourse blat
antly on politics, while ("uthfert. who
had been prone to clip bis coupons and
let tin; commonwealth Jofc on as best It
might, either Ignored the subject or de
livered himself of st rat 1 Ing epigrams
Hut the clerk was too obtuse to appre
ciate the clever shaping of thought, and
his w'aste of ammunition Irritated
ttuthferl. lie had been used to blinding
people by his brilliancy, and It worked
him quite a hardship, this loss of an I
audience. 11" f'-lt personally aggrieved
anil unconsciously held his mutton-head
companion responsible for it.
I Rave existence, they had nothing In '
common ? came In touch on no single
point. Weathcrhee was a eicrk who had
known naught but clerking ail his life; j
i "uthfert was a master of arts, a dab- j
bier in oils, and bad written not a little.
The one was a lower-class man who con
sidered himself n gentleman, and the
other was a gentleman who knew him
self to be such-. From this It may he
remarked that a. man can be a gentle- i
man without possesstng the first in
stinct of true comradeship. The clerk
was as sens'uouH as the other was aes- |
: Miotic, and his love adventures, told at
great length, and chiefly coined from
h:s imagination, affected the supersen
sitive master of arts In the same way 1
as so many whiffs of sewer gas . lie ;
| de. rned the clerk a filthy, uncultured j
brute, whose place was in the mticlc j
Iwlth the swine, and told him <>?: and he
was reciprocally informed that lie was!
la milk-and-water sissy and a cad.
I Weatherbee could not. have defined
?v.ad" for his life: but it satisfied its!
purpose, which after all seems the main ?
| pnl nt in 1 1 fe.
| Weatherbee flatted every third note j
and sang such songs as "The Host on ,
j Burglar" and "The Handsome t'abln
Hov." for hours at a time, while t'uth
fert wept wilh rage, till he could stand
jit no longer and fled into the tuner cold. |
I til t there was no escape The Intense
frost could not be endured for long at a !
| time, and the little cabin crowded them !
beds, stove, table, ami all ? Into a
i space of tfii by twelve. The very pros- |
, enee of either became a personal affront
| to the other, and they la used Into sullen j
: silences which Incre.'isetl In length and
'strength as the tlavs went by Occa
ylonallv. the flash of an eve or the cut I
of a lip got the better of them, though (
! they strove to wholly ignore each other t
J during those mute periods. And a great <
wonder sprang up in the breast of each.
|as to how God had ever come to create ,
j the other.

I no water In she cabin with which to i
I wash. Hut ho did not mind that. Walt- l;

As the sugar-pile aniT other little lux- I

j they were not getting their proper j<

'be robbed, the fell to srorging thern- I:
i selves. The luxuries suffered in this!
(gluttonous contest, ns did also the men. !
j In the absence .of fresh vegetables and I
exercise, their blood became Impover- !|
Ished. and a loathsome, purplish rash !i
crept over their bodies. Yet. they re- i
| fused to heed the warning Next, "their | ,
| muscles and joints began to swell, the
| flesh turning black, while their mouths. i
[ gums, and lips took on the color of rich ;
cream. Instead of being drawn to- j
gethor by their misery, each gloated I
lover tho other's symptoms as the j
I scurvy took Its course.
I They lost all rcgarrt Tor personal ap
; pea ranee, and for thai matter, common
decency. The cabin became a pigpen, j
j and never once were the beds made or
fresh pine boughs laid underneath. Tet
th-y could not keep to their blankets, sis
they would have wished: for the frost
was Inexorable, and the fire box con
I slimed much fuel. The hair of their
beads and faces grew long and shaggy,
while their garments would have dis
gusted a ragpicker. Hut they did not
care. They were sick, and there was i
no one to see; besides. It was very j
painful to move about.
