 His voice rang with the old time feryor, and his gaze seemed to scoreh her ayerted eyes like the heat of an unseen flame. An, Jim, why are yon not here. to pluck the image of outraged wife and motherhood from the chasm over which it hoyers? She struggled to release her hand. more faintly, how ever as his grasp strengthened. Then, as he resistlessly drew her toward him, their eyes met, and with shuddering sigh she fell oh her knees, with her head upon his shoulder.
 He realized his power and mereilessly used it. But at the first touch of his hot lips upon her own she sprang from him, plucked her baby from his. lap, rushed into the house, shut the door and locked it.
 He sat for awhile gazing at the oppo- site cliff, frowning in silent disapproyal, unco.s scious of their meaning and indif- ferent to their eternal calm. Then he got up, strolled past the shop and on down to the stillhouse, humming softly 10 hinsen' ss ~a@

 Having thus delivered himself, he let her go and strolled back toward the shop, smiling and solileqaizing:
 Meg in the respectable liuel She Garries 1t well, considering it's her first attempt. D. me, but she's thorough bred. She must have been hard pushed, though, to saddle herself with this thick pated son of Vulcan for a--a-husband, didn't she say? Fancy Meg with hus- handl And HOW there's a squalling brat to eomplicate matters. Poor thingi She's been in the work so long she's got used to this state of affairs and thinks I'll interfere Maybe will. Meg, my girl, begin to see that you're the wom- an for me, after all But you won't fear me when do interfere. Oh no I know you too well. '"
 He entered the shop chatted easily with honest, unsuspeeting Jim until his horse was ready, then, mounting, rode down the mountain side, humming tho threadbare air of Sweet Violets. ]"
 Darthuly Cheek grasped her crying baby, with fierce nervousness of man. ner, and set soothing it mechanically. Through her mind forbidden thoughts and impulses, long dormant, were ris- ing unanimously over the eontented apathy of feeling that since her mar riage had superfcially reigned within heart by nature fervid, jealous, impul- sive and now, alas, rebellious against the renunciative faith wherein the pu- rity of womanhood so often finds refuge against passion and desire. Her only audible exclamation was:
 "God help mel Icannot help myself" ,"

 Little Ann, having possessed herself of one of Jim's hands, looked from one to tho ether In childish bewilderment. She was barefooted, yet neatly clad in striped linsey, with long, tumbled hair falling upon her shoulders. The lady's face flushed, then grew slowly pale as she realized that all her beauty and lux ury made no impression upon the man she had once deserted.

:. Aweek passed. In a day or two more Bufford was to leave. The great hotel at White Cliff had opened for the season.
 Jim Cheek started for there one sunny day with a load of eggs, butter and "gyarden truck"
 Darthuly complained of headache and would not go. An anxious, troubled look haunted her face. Outwardly she seemed to avoid Dick more than ever and would follow Jim's motions with her eyes in silence, being so utterly unlike herself that the blacksmith again wondered helplessly over the miseries of feminine development.

This is my home and shelter. Ton left ne none when you forsook me three years ago Oh. Dick, for Gods sake spare me for-for the sake of my husband and child if not for your own sake or minel''
 The passionate anger with which she began melted into piteous appeal as she started toward the child. He seized her hand, whereat she stopped as though an electric shock had pervaded her system, while he said:

the dry goods market are unchanged. the week opening with dull trading In nearly all grades and an absence of any marked interest in either cotton or woolen goods. Rsponts of last weeks business shows there was no break. in the monotony which has prevailed for several weeks. Woolen goods in mems wear fabrics are as heretofore the strong point in ths market and are selling with fair degree of activity for distr.- button in all northern sections Of the country. In staple cotton goods brown goods are without change in any grade. The export trade st,ll under much re- straint, though buying for some South American and European markets has shown frif1ing increase during the past week. The print cloth market still rules very dull at 2asc, sales of odd goods still being in excess of thoss of sixty-four squares.

New York, Oct. 25.-A disturbed condi- tion was dominant in the early stock market caused by a number of adverse influences. The range of London quota tions were materially reduced as con- sequence of dearer money at that center. Cable e,dvices as to the note of Spain on Cuban matters were somewhat unsatis- factory, but the most powerful influence was produced by the runrors that the government would postpone the sale of the Union Pacific, but later the reorgani- zation authorized a statement that the posponemsnt would be prevented by the fact that the full government claim would be bid. The opening was at gen. enal declines which extended to about 1 per cent. and over in Sugar. Union Pa- cific, St. Uaul, Northwest, Omaha, Bur lington and New York Central. After brief rallies here and there the market went below tn initial figures only to be followed by rally on the Union Pacific reorgta anlzation committee referred to above The bulls were apparently un- satisfied with the affairs and joined the bears in selling which resulted in de- cllnes which reached sensational propor- tions Chicago Gas, however made a sharp rally of 3 per cent. and the entire market was steadied by this stock after declines of from 1 to 11s per cent. had been experienced. Dullness set in with as soon as tn decline had been checked. In the last hour selling again became a feature and the close was weak.

New York, Oct. 25-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices l and 2 points higher on light local and some foreign buying, following a favorable class of cable news, turned weak and feverish later under indications of weak ness abroad with selling on stop orders a feature; at II o'clock ruled barely steady with prices showing a net loss Of 1 and points. Sales to that time were 56000 bales. Buying was checked by estimated freer movement at the ports. Absence of outside support tend ed to discourage the bull faction and during the early session the market showed little recuperative energy.

Exporters were fair buyers of fat beeves around s4.256s5. The stocker and feeder trade was fair, prices ruling weak except for choice feeders. Buteh4rs and canners stuff was in fairly good demand, prices ruling easier. Cows and heifers at $3.40@$3.45, and a few cows sold be- low $40. Bulls were wanted at g. 35@ S2.75 for bolognas; $S@$335 for feeders and $3.50@$4.25 for exporters. Texas cat tie did not show much change. steers being in demand at $3.20@s3. 90, and cows and heifers at $220@$370.

 Prices were steady for sheep, and they went actively at s2259$3 for common na- tiyes up to s4.25@$5.5O for good to extra offerings. Western range sheep again comprised the great bulk of the offerings and sold freely at $325@$4.25. Lambs were sold at about 5c lower, but sold actively at S4Q$4.75 for inferior to prime lots, western lambs selling at $450m$5. 50.

Chicago. Oct 25.-,A decline of 11kc in the December option marked today's ses- sion in wheat. The market was stag gered at the start by the Liverpool weakness and every firm spot was taken advantage of by holders to unload. The decline in corn was factor late in the day. Corn was very weak on the huge visible increase and closed cent lower. Oafs declined 5sc and provisions closed 21SQ5c lower on light trading.

The mar ket seems to have very little life and dos not display any too much strer g'th, and as long as we have such receipts as we are now having the market will re- main at these low prices. However, if we can have smaller receipts the mar ket is likely to take turn upward at any lime.

New York, Oct. 25.-A decided dull and uninteresting cotton market today end d with prices a shade higher than Satur- day A decline of one half of sixty fourths in Liverpool was not regarded as discouraging, and the opening here was one to two points higher. somewhat lighter receipts which the traders at tributed to the spread of the yellow fe- yer.
 Frer offerings by the south. fears of frost hammering by the local bears and large. estimated receipts at Houston and New Orleans tomorrow were the forces that kept tn market fiuetuating On all declines buying orders seemed plentiful. In the afternoon a prominent bear was covering, and the market closed at the best figure of the day. January opened at cents, fuctuated between this figure and 5.94 and closed at cents f1at with the tone of he market seady. Most op- orators regarde reaction as not improba- ble, but there is no change in the gen. eral bearish sntiment. A disposition to raise crop estimates to ten millions bales is quite current. #
