New York. Nov. 27.-The occurrence
of the Thanksgiving holiday has had
much to do with reducing the aggregate
of business transacted in dry goods dur
ing the week. The trading to-day was
of a light character, both in stores and
by mail orders There is no strength
.ening of the market in any department
and it is rumored that there Will be
heavy reductions made in certain lines of
cotton goods next week. In WOODEN
and worsted goods the market remains
quite strong, the hesitancy in sellers tn
open new lines being the only restricting
influence. Prints continue to be unfa-
yOrably situated. Recent reductions in
prices have not produced any decided
Increase in the demand.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. 27.-Cotton contracts
opened steady at unchanged prices to a
decline of points under sensational
reports to the effect that Lancashire OPP
-eratives had refused to submit the ques-
ton of wages to arbitration and that
a general strike was threatened. AS the
Liverpool future market made slight
net gain there was disposition to be-
ieve that the market labor situation n
England had been misrepresented and
covering caused an advance of 3M5
points. The upward movement was
checked by the Chronicles statement
that picking is still under way in some
districts of the cotton belt and that mar
keting is progressing rapidly. The aver
age of 100 crop estimate made by Cot
ton Exchange members, points to a total
of 10.421, 900 bales for the season of
1S97-'9S.
The market closed steady, net IN
changed to an advance of one point, with
sales Of 63, 100 bales.
Port receipts estimated for the day
$4,000 bales, against 60,215 last week
and 1856 last year; for the week 40O.-
600, against 39S,422 last week and

CHAPTER III.
FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW.


The town of Lee, N. H., though COW
ering large territory, is SO sparsely
settled that one might almost ride
through 1t without meeting half doz-
en- persons. Indeed, 1t covers SO much
ground that the various sections where
there are clustered together any consid-
cradle number of houses all bear differ
ent names, as Lee Hill, Lee Hook, Lee
or Lee Depot, as it is more commonly
known, because Of the railroad station,
and lastly Wadley's Falls. :.
Wadley's Falls is the southernmost
and most populous section of the town.
It is In the immediate vicinity of the
low falls In the Lamprey river, which
runs through the place. This river.
though at times so shallow that one
might wade across in many places,
turns numerous mills in it's course.
Both river and falls play an Important
part in this history. /.
A good road leads from the depot at
Leo, and with a few easy turns winds
it way up hill, passing the farm and
homesteads of the Lewises, and on q
mile farther, where the river is crossed
by bridge. Beyond one finds the Wad-
ley's Falls postoffice and the saloon.
The bridge, being Of some interest to
us, must receive a moments descrip-
tion. Today there is neat iron struc-
ture at this point, but at the time OF
which I write wooden, ramshackle af-
fair did duty for man and horse. II

Barnes.
1t was yet showing, so the snow filled
up the tracks somewhat. Wherever she
went, and that we shall find out per-
haps by following the trail, she did not
start for home, or, to be accurate, she
did not reach here till the snow had
ceased falling, as the clear marks tcs-
tify."
"Mr. Barnes, you are genius. Why.

Burrows seemed q little abashed as

"surely. since you proved that the
woman is still within the house, who
else can it be but Miss Lewis?"
"Her maid, perhaps, said Mr.. Barnes,
with some curtness. OF all things, he
abjured conclusions which were too
hastily and therefore illogioally drawn.
Come" he continued; I'VE will fol-
low this trail as far as the summer
house."
He started, his head bent and his eyes
fixed scrutinizingly on the snow. Bur-
rows followed in silence, feeling re-
buked and Just little resentful. The
tracks led in almost a direct line to the
summer house, which they discovered
to be divided into two parts 1t seemed
