MISS DIR. LEYoLA ADAMS.
Nurse and Physician.


The proverbial hospitality of min
Ing camp was not long in manifest
ing itself. DR.. Adams soon had q
stream of social visitors. Everyone
went to see her from the marshal to
the saloon loafer. All the women
and girls called, and much ado was
made over her. The men assured her
that they "would turn their trade
her way" and the superintendents of
several of the mines invited her to
become the mines physician, from
motives of western galiantry.
From the interest she so quickly
and spontaneously created it would
not have taken much additional en-
thusiasm to have had it decreed that
the men doctors should go. Some
one did suggest this, upon the ground
that one doctor and two undertakers
were enough for Monarch, but an
other retorted that meant the can
ming" of DR.. Basil Cuthbert, "the poor
mans friend" The recollection of
his many acts of kindness settled
that vagrant idea decisively. Fur
thermore, when the proposition came
to DIR. Adams ears she forcefully dis
couraged it. She also protested
against the zeal Of the populace in
continuing the reception to her day
after day, as if she were there merely
as tourist instead of as business
woman. Not only that, but some of
those whose enthusiasm would not
down went so far as to have them
selves examined for some imagined
ailments. They were willing to pay
for their amusement, but she would
not accept it and had to content her,
self with dismissing them with q
good-natured scolding.
But all this was far from the pur'
pose of her migration to Monarch
She had left the crowded cast be.
cause ther advancement and even
the attaining of foothold in hel
profession was too difficult and prob
Iematical. Hers -Yas retiring nature
For the practicing of her profession
she preferred town to city, and
camp to town. The opportunities
socially and professionally, were bet
ter. For these reasons she had set
tied in Monarch.

far as to question DR.. Adams whetn.
er she knew Mrs. Gerson. The doc.
tor professed not to, though she said
the face was familiar and all that.
All Mrs. Gerson would permit herself
to say was; II don't believe. in wom-
an doctors nohow."
1t was plainly apparent that this
was not altogether the cause of her
intense aversion for DR.. Adams. 1t
was in the nature of things to the
orize that another reason existed, OF
which DR.. Adams probably knew
nothing.
The observing women of Monarch
could not help noticing how rapidly
Mrs. Gerson had aged in the past two
or three years. While it was true
thai she suffered from a chronic all
ment before the excitement of DR..
Adams arrival, her general health
heretofore had been good. In this
intervening short time in appearance
she had aged fully dozen years,
and now was growing sickly and
emaciated. No one seemed able to
account for it.
Nothing of her antecedents prior
to her residence in Monarch was
known. She had removed to Monarch
from a camp near by. Her husband
was miner He had met his death
while blasting near Monarch. Some
said her daughter was by former
marriage, but the statement was gen.
orally taken as mere conjecture.
1t was singular that despite Mrs
Gerson's dislike for DIR. Adams heI
daughter should be practically fond
of her. Miss Gerson spent much OF
her time in the doctors Office as she
could spare from her mothers store
DR.. Adams reciprocated this affection
In her opinion she passed no hour
better than when in the company ot
Miss Gerson, though she was scarce
ly Is.
There was one who We'd with Miss
Gerson for DR.. Adams companions
ship. This was DR.. Basil Cuthbert
just as DIR. Adams had about con
cluded that the other physicians were
going to show their displeasure al
her arrival by ignoring her, DR.. Cuth
bert called. He was the first Of the
doctors, to do this. He had post
poned his visit to give the mob's en-
thusiasm time to- wane.
DR.. Cutchbert was q childless wild
over. Up to the time DIR. Adams en-
tered the field he enjoyed the mos
lucrative practice in the camp. Nov
this honor lay between him and DR.
Adams.
From the time of that first visit ,
friendship, bordering on attachment
arose between them. They were fire
quently at one another's Office. Ant
after they met in professional con
sultation.
Time of friendship and the fac
that neither was young in years EN-
boldened DIR. Cuthbert one day to pro
pose marriage to DIR. Adams.
She told him she would "see about
it,"

New York. Nov. 6.--Today's stock mar

Georgia, but the fine weather prevalent
throughout the belt and predictions for

The frost issue is a dead one now,
as it is too late to do any material dam
age in any of the States outside of Texas.
Killing frost materialized in some sec
lions of the extreme northwest of Texas,
yet it seems as if that State has escaped
a freeze The bulk of the crop however
is assured and general killing frost is
expected momentarily.
For nine weeks the weather has been
ideal for growing and picking, therefore
planters have their crops picked closer
than for many years past. They are in
better position to gin when bad weather
sets in than ever known, having storc1

COTTON.
New York, Nov 6.-The market for cot
ion futures opened weak with prices down
16 to 81 points on bad scare of local
longs and commission selling, together
with selling for foreign account, for pro-
fessional bear operators and by Wall
Street bulls. After the opening long cot
ton continued to come out freely and the
bears gave no indication of turning for
profits. Supporting operators were scarce
and news from abroad was bearish to an
unusual degree. On the cold weather out
look of Monday night Liverpool was ex-
pectcd to continue on the up tack during
our holiday, but instead showed loss
of to 91a points<when our market open
ed today. Bearish crop estimates by Neill
caused the weakness in Liverpool and had
q potent influence upon our market as
we'll. Large offerings of spot cotton In
Southern markets at is to 3-11s lower
figured and free port receipts helped to
weigh down the market here. Reports
from Fall River were less favorable. The
weather report did not show as general
or as heavy frost in the Cotton Belt as
predicted while the forecast for tomorrow
climatic conditions indicated higher tenn
peratures as rule. Early in the after
noon the market stiffened on light profit
