WHY SHE DIDN’T CO.
From the St. James Gazette.
Miss Wilhelmina Perks and her lather
were staying in London. They had been
in Paris for some time, too, partly be
cause they were from Boston, but mainly
because Wilhelmina had made there
some si>ecial purchases for her new ad
venture. ,
She proposed to sail for Christiania
from Hull, in the middle of the month,
and already the papers had interviewed
her. and “Miss Wilhelmina Perks. tHo
female Franklin -by One Who . Knows
Her," apppeared in nearly every paper
that you picked up.
They had all been to Lord’s, and Dr.
Fraser and his cousin, Mrs. Waldershare,
had been brought back to dinner at the
hotel. '
"Well,” said Miss Wilhelmina, “ "tain’t
no use talking, yon know. My mind's set
on this trip, and I'm going to do it.”
“I know, my girl,” said old Perks —“I
know. You wouldn’t be a Perks if you
was to give way now and go back on your
reputation.
"And I’ll just go and made a name for
myself and then I’ll come right back
and”—she glanced at Dr. Fraser—“and
then we’ll be happy.”
Young Dr. Fraser pressed the young
lady’s foot affectionately beneath the
table, and little Mrs. Waldershare
smiled.
“I wish you were all coming with me,”
shewenton. “Ain’t it Just pleasant now
even to .talk of floes of ice and miles of un
tracked snow, and—and so on.”
“Did you say the boat was ready,
Meener?” asked her father.
“As near ready as doesn’t matter,” an
swered Wilhelmina. “The men are en
gaged, the stores are purchased and when
I get to Christiania I shall only have a
fortnight's work to do. And in two or
three years, you know, I shall be through,”
She looked at her sweetheart with her
eyes bright with enthusiasm. “Say,
Frank, we ll be married at the Abbey, if
the trick comes off.”
All the time young Dr Fraser looked'
thoughtfully out of the window.
“If you won’t say another word about
it,” he remarked; “if you’ll just let me
say this.” *
“Go on dear,” said Miss Perks. She
and Mrs. Waldershare rose as she spoke,
and the men rose too.
“That I’d gite everything, everything
that I possess in the world,” said Fraser,
still looking hard out of the window, "if
it would only induce you to give it up.”
She came to him.
“My dear boy,” she said, “that ean’t
be; but you’re just the sweetest fellow to
say so, and -and I shall think of you
dreadfully.”
Mrs. Waldershare had scribbled fur
tively a note on the menu which she
came back to show the young fellow.
“Before 1 forget it, Frank,” said the
little woman, “is this is the right way to
spell compote aux fruits?”
Under the item was her penciled mess
age.
“Meet me in half hour in the reading
room.”
“Yes,” said Dr. Fraser, “I think that’s
right.”
The two men had their smoke and their
coffee, and at the appointed time Fraser
threw away his cigar, and, leaving old
Mr. Perks, \Vent into tire reading room.
He found Mrs. Waldershare there, and
for dve minutes their heads were very
close together. They talked spiritedly
and seemed to be arguing with much
good humor.
Presently they changed their seats and
sat behind a screen in the comer near the
window. Then Mrs. Waldershare gave a
confidential message to one of the attend
ants.
In a few minutes Wilhelmina entered
the room. She was a tall, striking girl,
and everybody looked up from the even
ing papers as she came. •
•‘ln that corner, I think,” said the man
carefully; "I think I saw them go there,
just behind the screen, miss.”
Miss Wilhelmina walked across the
large, thickly carpeted room to the place
indicated. The two familiar voices
came to her ear, and there was in the
voice of the little widow so unusually
earnest a ring that Wilhelmina paused in
voluntarily.
“You don’t know, Frank, how much I
love you,” she heard Mrs. Waldershare
say. She was speaking very distinctly.
“You don't know, and until now you
have, perhaps, never guessed that you
are everything to me. Yon will call ihe
unwomanly: perhaps some might call me
shameless: but I can’t help it. May I—
may I ask you to give mo one promise?”
“Tell me what it is,” said the voice of
Dr. Fraser, hoarsely.
“Promise me that as soon as this
American girl with whom you think you
are in love —”
“With whom I am in love.”
“Very well, with whom you are in love,
then. Promise me that as soon as she
has gone on her preposterous expedition
you will give me leave to speak again. I
am no child in these matters, Frank.”
“1 can give you no promise of any
kind,” answered Dr. Fraser, steadily.
“I can quite understand your position,”
the little widow went on. “It’s very hard
on you. But when she comes back, if she
ever does come back, after, say, three or
lour years, aged and altered by this ridic
ulous exploring business, she surely would
not be surprised it she should find that
you have forgotten her.”
“I shall never, never forget her,” de
clared Frank.
•Attendez,” said the little widow per
sistently. “I repeat that I know some
thing of these matters. We'll let her go:
let her get right away, and then we’il
talk over this matter again. If I'm not
mistaken you'll he of a different opinion
then.”
•'I beg you won’t anticipate ”
“Oh, my dear one,” cried the little
widow, with a catch in her voice, “think
again. She does not love you really, or
she would not leave you lino this, risking
her life anil your affectiou.”
• Don’t speak to me, please,” prayed Dr.
Fraser; don’t speak to me. I am doing
her a grievous wrong by listening to you.”
There was a sob from the little widow,
and Dr. Fraser rose and put his chair
back. She seized his band.
The t all figure went quickly and
noiselessly from the reading room and
s ood for a few moments in the entrance
hall, thinking hard.
Dr Fraser dil not come out. and Wil
helmiua went up the lift to her room, and
sitting down on a law chair had the best
cry she had had for years.
< The next afternoon two clerks were
reading the evening paper as they waited
for the bus. , „, ,
•Hello.” said one, “here s ago. That
yankee girl isn’t going to bring home the
north pole, after all.
■■ vVnat's up. there?” asked the other.
The first youth read it out:
"Acting upon doctor’s advice, Miss v\ 11-
lielmina Perks has relinquished her inten
ded expedition to the north |iole Her
boat and supplies (which were of the
most complete character i Have been pur
chased by telegram by a Swedish ex
plorer. It is stated that the marrrrtjc of
Miss Peras to Dr. Fraser, one of the
most successful young medical men of the
duv. will take place at an eariy date at
Holy Trinity, Sioaue street.” „

unfavorable crop reports, caused an early

realizing, and the close was txarely steady ala
decline of 1 point on September and 4 to 5
f >muts on other months compared with the
ust prices of yesterday. Trade is improving
in this country, The receipts at the ports and
interior towns are small, and the drought
in Texas continues, while damage by boll
worms, rust and shedding is reported from
many sections of the cotton belt. The sales
were 118.000 bales. September advanced 32
points, but lost it. Liverpool advanced 2to 3
points, closing very steady, with short sales
of 1 .(KM) bales. New Orleans advanced 6 to 7
points. December later declined 4 points.
Spot prices here advanced 1-16 for middling

was an advance of l-lft&M 1 * at five of the

New York. Sept, lft Riordan & Cos. say of
cotton: "We have had an active week in
cotton, ending in a particularly lively day. A
further rise in Liverpool and
crop reports in the Financial Chronicle
frightened the shorts this mornihg and prices
at ttye opening advanced sharply, January
selling on the call at 8.75 c. This was the
highest price of the flay, as it was likewise
the highest price yet reached for January. 1891.
deliveries. But there was an avalanche of
long cotton at once thrown on the market by
bulls anxious to take protits, and the pressure
of offerings resulted in a quick deellrfe
of ten points. At H.66c for January, however,
there were far more buyers than sellers, and
the market became steadier during most of
tl 3 short trading day. The price of Jan larv
fluctuated between 8.66 c and 8.67 c. A little
before noon a sharp demand sprang up and
January rallied to H *9c. but this seemed to be
the signal for renewed realizing sales, under
which January again declined to 8 6>c. Some
of the bears, led by a urominent German
house, took advantage of the weakness in the
last few minutes to hammer prices vigorously,
causing a further decline of 2 or 3
points. The close was barely steady, with
8 62c bid for January, It hvs been a long time
since the future of the market has been
shrouded in such extreme uncertainly as
now prevails. The recent bad bureau report,
which seems to be partially continued nv the
crop advices now coming in day by day, taken
in connection with the undeniable improve
tnent in trade both here anu abroad, may well
justify the hope of still higher prices. T.ie
belief that we are likely to have
a bull market* this tall is certainly
growing among traders. On the other
hand, the nears, while conceding a certain
amount of crop damage and a more cheerful
outlook for trade, insist that the conditions
have already been fully discounted in the rise
of more than a cent a pound. They insist that
exAjpt In Texas, the average yield of cotton
will be much larger than last year, and claim
that neither the monetary nor trade situation
warrants the expectation that another sur
plus is going to >e oou.'ht and carried with
out material change from present prices.
Crop . estimates range all the way from
6.250.000 to 8.250.000 uules. Mean time it
seems tolerably certain that as long as re
ceipts continue less than last year’s cotton
will not go down.”

Chicago, Sept. 16. -The market for wheat
to day was stronger, with sonio activity, al
though the short session had tho effect of
restricting trade to some extent. he open
ing was higher and prices were ad
vanced more, then eased off and declined
Me, and held steady, and the closing was
about 7 b c higher for December and Me for May
than the closing figures of yesteraay. The
advance to-day was very sudden and a decided
surprise to many. Corn was moderately act
Ive, though at times tho market was very
quiet, the price keeping within range of
7f(9*l •. Large receipts of outs and weakness
did not materially affect prices in this mar
ket. opening prices advanced ‘.c over
yesterday’s close and held steady. Provis
ions were inactive during the early
part of the session, but Showed a
firm undertone. Lard ruled higher by
reason of the continued drought, curtailing
pasturage and reducing the amount of butter,
thus Increasing the demand for lard. Pack
ers bought ribs early, but iator turiie.il
sellers. There whs no trading to speak of in
pork. January sold s|.a ingly at an advance
of 15c. then at u decline of 201* the market at
the close being weak. Ribs were 15c higher
at close. •

“HOW SAVANNAH STANDS.” *
‘•Best Possible Evidence of Savan
nah's Substantial Prosperity.”
From the Charleston News and Courier.
The annual review of-the trade and
commerce of Savannah for the commer
cial year ending Aug. 31 was published
by the Mornino News yesterday.
The year was a hard one in every de
partment of business. The cotton crop
was short and the price was low, the
merchants were compelled to be more
careful in their credits, and the banks*
were forced to exercise the greatest '•on
servaiism and caution in managing their
resources. It is really wonderful that
Savannah should have done so well under
the generally depressing conditions which
obtained there to as gh at extent as in
! almost any o her part of the country.
I There were few failures dur
lin r the year, and no bank suspen
! sions. The city continued to grow in
every direction, and managed to hold it-
I self together lor the demands of the fu
i ture which contains a great deal of ail
! that is encouraging for the brave and en
terprising people who have founded so
goodly a city. We rejoice with our neigh
i>ors in their good fortune and admire
the pluck with which they have over
come threatened disasters.
Bui this is uot the time nor the occas
ion lor instituting comparisons; perhaps
a further study of our oonternpordky’s
case will dis lose su rgestions which we
shall be able 10 turn to Charleston's ac
count. Just now we are only intent upon
congratulating the Mornino News upon
the admirable result of its intelligent la
bors. and the city of Savannah upon its
rednaoie achievements in a year of bus
bs paralysis.
