BETTER PRICE FOR COTTON.
The New RoundIap Bale Worth S7.oo
 Tore to the Tilt.

Mir T. w. Pratt. president of the West Huntsville Cotton Mill, Huntsville, Ala. who is known as one of the most pro gressive business men of Alabama, in addition to his extensive cotton manu- facturing interests is running what is said to be one of the largest cotton ginning plants in the world. Mir. Pratt has made thorough investigation of the Roundlap bale in his mill, and recently published letter, in which he said that cotton in this form was worth S2 bale more to his mill than square bale cotton. Recently he tele- graphed as follows:
 After two years experience with the Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Company as manufacturer, can posi- lively state that my experience is that 1t can be sampled equally as well as the square bale; that it saves eight per cent in waste; that it unwinds to the core perfectly, and saves much labor in the opening-room. Mixed or false packed bales are never found For the planter, ginner and manufacturer it is the greatest invention of the age"

CHAPTER XIII.

# The next three days passed very pleas * antly. The time had not yet arrived for explanations to either McPherson or Senorita Gracia; but we gave him 30 S of the doubloons as an evidence of the progress we were making, and dis cussed various plans for the future with both, on the way back to Guajan. We were all very anxious that the padre-or, rather, his eminence the bishop--should have no opportunity to come aboard at Apra. So, as the two passengers had but little luggage, it was arranged that we should be dropped in the proa somewhere off Cocos island, the steamer then head ing for Manila without further loss of time. This arrangement was carried out, and the people at Agana had no suspicion of the Countess visit until after we landed. The Pouynipetites, having been occupied with their own affairs, were not positive as to just when or how had come aboard; so the impression got about that, having been blown out to sea, l had been picked up a long distance from land and conveyed to safer neighborhood merely because the two strangers were going that way.
 lnquiring for Sebastiano that even ing, the gobernador told me he was suf- fering from a severe attack of gas tric fever. which seemed likely to keep him in bed for some time; so l paid him visit of coincidence; it was the least l could do. Then l took ad- vantage of his indisposition to get the treasure above water while safe from Interruption.
 First, l spent couple of nights in removing the silver, already secured. from Tarofofo and slowing it away in the copra bags at Apra. Then made regular trips every second day to the reef, returning with long reach to the north-northwest which brought me into Apra bay about midnight. and working at the stowage until after three. This. with staying under water at the wreck, was pretty exhausting work, and but for the rest on the odd days I couldn't have kept it mp. To have slept all day at the gobernador's house would have aroused comment very shortly. so spent the time upon the water with Dorotea. mapping in the bottom of the proa, while she tished and kept watch. as soon as we were well away from land.
 Sebastiano's illness was the thickest streak of all my luck. was beginning
