She spoke rapidly and with deep
feeling. Her hand was stretched out,
her face was pale, spot of red burn
ed IN each clear cheek. She seemed 10
be pleading in bar of judgment of the
wounded bandit. Allyn stared at her
aWed, fascinated.
"Why-why," he stammered, "you
are not specially interested in the beg

She came to herself with a laugh.

He went his way to his quarters
and she turned to her room. On the
way she looked into the sick room for
a moment. The prisoner was lying
upon his back, his eyes open and star
ing at the ceiling He had been silent,
but spoke as the door creaked slight

"Tordillo," he said, "Tordillo, do not
desert me, for the water is deep and
dark and I have much to do"
She closed the door gently and stole
away. She had been long enough in
the southwest and had picked up
enough of the Mexican nomenclature
to know that "Tordillo" was the name
of horse, and she OWNED that in her
patients fevered brain was a memory
of the dark, rushing river with the
shock of the wound and the weakness
of his once powerful muscles and the
stars drifting overhead.

Advances Attributed to Some Extent to

New York, November 2s-Prices OF
stocks closed today considerably higher
than on Wednesday, in spite OF some rather
unfavorable developments and the continu
ance Of some apprehension over monetary
conditions, The advances we're attributed
TO some extent to the demand from the
short Interest to cover Inducements to do
this were offered by the bidding up OF
prices by an element among the traders,
which set out to make Il campaign against
the bears The short interest was known
to have been accommodating contracts for
some time and their commitments were cx-
tended on Wednesday on the eve Of the

XVI lG last year.
The cotton market opened arm Yesterday
morning and in the face OF the general
weather reports which proclaimed freezing
temperatures ana rain Ia many parts Of
the belt, the market became dun and
closed easier after losing nearly all the
gains that were made during the day.
The movement was bullsh. as receipts
at interior towns showed losses compared
with last year, and the failure OF important
outside ports to clear has been assigned
as the cause for the smallncss Of tho move.
ment The general bad weather IN Te1as
for several days past has rendered country
roads impossible In many parts Of the
