He asked oiie of the party to find out if the tale were true, and later iu the afternoon this man reported that Keene had not only started but had actually Uiasted that he would stand Wall street on its head or go broke in the attempt. Fur ther, he bail mith hi til in the car between four and six millions of real money, the harvest of a brief spau of year in San Francisco. I dou't vouch for this yam, for I was uot there, but the details hear truth earmarks. It proceeds thus: (niuld and his four associates Is-gan to argue an to the division of Kee lie's treasure. The wi4ird, declaring that, a lie must supply the magic, the largest part of the Ksiil should lie his, dcniaudcd percent. Thi ol hers contended for eilial shares. Finally they compromised, tiould to have a quarter, the four othei-s the balance.

The group, shrewd observers all, then met the visitor when his car drew into the station at Jersey City, sized him up carefully, and the very next day Is-gan to bait their traps."

"For over a ipiarterof a century indei-d, James H. Keene hasamaetl Wall street bv his iuliiiite stiutegv and daring. He has literally played hob with its iiiiiMiitaiit institutions ami stood itrt celebrities on their heads His magic knowledge of inside happenings has made hot h his follow i'i-s and his eiiemii-s mar vel. At intervals it is r-vealed to Wall slui-t that some of its great corporations are in trouble, and that, to hide deficiencies m earn ings, they have Ikhmi paving divi dends out of capital. Then the stocks of these concerns drop like mercury in a freeze, and it leaks out that one man knew the deadly secret weeka and months liefore the crash. When price are at the lst- torn, Jaines It. Keene la-gins to cover the 'short sales' he had out in preparation for the fall, and his bank account swells plethorically with his profits. If a great defal cation astounds the financial w orld, it comes to light that Keene has had the news in time to take ad vantage of it. Indeed, it is a Ira ilitiiiu of V:ill street that any clerk or confidential man having a secret to communicate knows where there is the best cash market lor such valuable considerations, and though he has had in all his long career 'agents at the elliow of every op portunity,' to quote his own phrase, the sourcca and means of his infor mation have never lieen suspected, and at this hour he moves art mys teriously aa ou the day lie tx-gan niieratiniiM. 80 great has Ixi-n Keene s jmwer in stock allium dur ing the last decade and a half that few of hia contemporaries have dared oppose him, and at the time of which I am writing, when his sway was almost at its zenith, he could do about what he pleased with prices."

There are always lifly or more dishes, Rod all are set before the Sultan at the same time. He eats usually from almut six.

Guaranteed at English Drag uu.'s; price 50a A'iKMivt: rock it is and as risky a rock as you ever saw. It looks as if it had Int-u split uneven ly from its ancient setting and flint bullets fired into it. And ever since creation the forces of nature have seemingly been arrayed against it: the ram has dashed Uhiii it; the hail ha pounded it; the frost has bitten it; the winds have scoured it; the sun s furnace has baked it: the constant river has gnawed at its base yet as the only signs of incessant war its surface is pitted as hy smallpox aud scarred as by sword cuts. Hut it is a big rock only in name. It is not large enough for a house- seat; in fact, ten stes would carry you across it. It is not high enough to insure against the freshets, for eight or nine feet downward would bring you to the river level. Alsive it towers a stone ueighlsir iu the hill point just beyond the river. Only boy-high is its cl ill face and Hirvh w ide is the U'nch lieside it jutting out into the stream. There ire but three or four lesser nsks that lilt their heads alsive water iu obeisance. A hundred yards west ward the river comes into view laughing over a shoal; a hundred yards eastward it curves gracefully nit of sight, fly it ran the public road and directly across it lay the foot path. A miniature sand ridge connects it with the junction of branch and river. Humble indeed is its station, tree-shaded, slirnli fringed, mid mainly moss covered, lying in obscurity at the depth of the valley. And vet while the clill' across the wav is higher and the boulder up the hollow is larger and the Kock House at the old mill place is more imposing, this alone is the llig Uoek iu name and association, Work time. The sun broiling, the air still, the corn Held grassy, the plow and I he Iks' get 1 1 ng heav if r anil heav ler, every muscle weary and every pore active how welcome the mid morning and mid alterniHui rest itute! 1 lien out of the near by acres to the old Hig Kock: and right dowai flat a back on the moss, or seated on the bluff etlge, or thrust ing bare feet in the crystal water and splashing up rainbows!

"It is going to nun! shouts one farm boy gleefully to another as thev return to work. Three o'clock, ami the shower marches across hill and valley, to weary boys 1110111 musical than Housa's band, and so heavy that mountains right by you are hidden from view. "The ground is too wet to work. So we are free for today!" The river is reddened. Out then with fish poles ami out w ith w Hill ing worms and off to the iiig Kock! Then fish and lisli and fish. Some times a vriggling eel, a big mouth ed cut fish, ora "horneyhead,'' and xoinetiines never a bite! Hut such is fishing, and happy were the pa tient, aspiring fishermen. Sportful Hig Kock ! Kainy season. From east or south come the clouds and keep coming day after day from the "ram country ol the Atlantic or the (lulf. Down comes the rain, shower after show er, all day long ami niglit long. Dripping the trees and sobby the earth and frantic the streamlets. Aud the river colors and swells anil surges, rising higher and high er till it overleaps its banks and rushes madly down the valley. Away now to the Hig Kock and see the river demou foaming! The edge of a fertile Held torn oil up valley and mingling tn the waters; rails snatched from fences; oat bundles, cornstalks, and new-mown hay; logs stolen from the saw mill yard; water gates and foot logs, uprooted bushes and trees, chunks ami dead branches innumerable all lad ng devoured and lsy-iie on ward by the freshet. And yon can see it all from the serene, itnuiovu hie Hig liock! Spectacular Hig Kia'k! 10 p. m. The debate at the Academy is over, it is 10 o'clock, and the last half mile homeward must be trav eled alone.

There is now barely enough sand ami dirt in its hollows ami rivv ices to support a bit of Japan clover, a bunch of Miisoii oak, and a few shrulis of sycamore, black w illow, poplar and the like. Its old time mantle ol earth has liecn torn xside by its assailants, and now it lies here on the left bank of the river naked to sunlight and storm. The big ants and the lianls crawl over it tin molested. The old spruce which .shaded it has died and its decaying form is tlie teinpoiarv tombstone ol a past that is gone forever. The road hart forsaken it and lied to the hillside edging the valley. The Hig Hrauch has leaped from its alder lined ImhI and now unhindered it saucily gores the side of the Iiig Kock before it joins the river a few yards Isdnw. The river itself, for merly deep and diguilied, used to pitss slowly hy and always in a beautiful eddy made 11 deferential Imiw to the Iiig Rock, but now it has sacrificed depth for sw iftness, and ho hurries almost irreverently by.
