New York, Aug. IA demand for
August started the market from the
opening and it has given tone and
strength to the trading. We find the
question of consumption beginning to
interest the trade more and more, as
the previous impression Of an 100000
bale crop had apparently meant re-
turn to low prices. If the world needs
such a crop for spinning we would
have to raise a surplus above this to
cause any pressure. There is little
SPECULATION for an advance, but a bet
ter tone based on the idea Of a large
consumption. The movemeH in Texas
is almost entirely new cotton. In Gal
weston the amount of new cotton is
no longer reported distant from the
old cotton.

three venturesome Americans had
been carried past banana and cocoa
nut trees. into the palace with the
gold dome.
When the door of the hut shut on
the three prisoners, the Sailor Man
was the first to speak.
Cheer up. cheer up" he said to
Betty, who had sunk down in a corner
and was weeping. I'VE amt dead yet,
miss"
Just then the Interpreter entered
He looked around cautiously. then he
whispered:
Can You COOKE" he inquired.
Bob shook his head deJectedly and
Betty shook hers but the Sailor Man
straightened his shoulders.
Sure, / can" he said.
Then" said the Interpreter soft
ly. send word TO the Most Wonder
full One that IL he will let you go free,
you will cook him such a dish as he
has never tasted"
Then the Interpreter went out, and
the three Americans looked at each
other.
What can we eook?" asked Bob
The. Sailor Man grinned.
We'll, l never cooked anything but
salt pork, but / wasn't telling that.
It's our only chance"
Pretty soon the Interpreter re-
turned.
The Most Wonderful One. who
eats forever. is pleased" he said. He
waits with longing the new dish"
Then the Interpreter told them that
they might walk out under guard If
they wished.
AS they went out OF the hut, the
Sailor Man and the children PASSED
several other similar hutg,
"All prisoners" explained the In
terpreter, who will also cook for the
Wonderful One. II. on the day APP
pointed, there is one dish that shall
satisfy Him Who Eats Forever, all
the prisoners shall go free"
Under guard, they went around the
palace grounds. There were flowers
and vegetables such as the children
had never seen and beasts and birds
OF all kinds, but the most beautiful
thing that the children saw was a
flock of wild turkeys in a wonderful
yard, surrounded by gold fence.
Their houses were of white marble
and there were two men to attend to
them.
"Well, they have all the turkey they
can eat on Christmas" said the Sailor
Man.
Just then q tall soldier. who had
kept very near them, looked at the
Sailor Man and winked back.
As the rest of the guard moved on,
the soldier and the Sailor Man man
aged TO drop behind.
They don't eat EN-" said the sold
der, pointing to the white turkeys
they worship 'em"
AS he saw the Sailor Mans look of
wonder, he explained:
I'm English. We got caught in a
bloomin' storm. and / was the honly
one left. and they took me hin the
guard hinstead of cuttin' me bloomin'
cad off"
The Sailor Man returned to the sub
ject OF the turkeys.

statesmen and purchasers on the walks
forgot their business. Merchants and
clerks and customers poured forth from
the street. A great shout arose in the
frosty air. A crate of turkeys had come
apart and the whole flock had escaped.
Everybody forgot business and joined
in a hilarious chase.

but outside the Palace, with a window
that overlooked the gardens.
Well they were in for it-Bob and
Betty and the Sailor Man. When the
ship had anchored for repairs off the
white, sandy coast, Capt. Merritt, the
children's father, had given orders:
No one is to go ashore" he had
said. THE people are ferocious and
fanatic. 1t isn't safe, and we sail
shortly"
But Bob and Betty had talked to
the Sailor Man, who loved them.
Take us ashore. There are banana
trees and cocoanuts, and we saw the
gold dome of palace. Please, please,
good, kind Sailor Man.
The Sailor Man, who was very soft
hearted had consented, and here they
were prisoners. They had left the

THE TURKEY AND
THE TETRARCH
How Bob Betty and the Sailor Man Tcked the Palate OF
the Ietrarch with Brown Turkey and Stuffins
and Thereby Gained Their Freedom
BY TEMPLE BAILEY.

The Tetrarch glared at Bob and
Betty and the Sailor Man, and growled
a question to the Interpreter. Then the
Interpreter answered:
"Oh, Most Wonderful One, Ruler
of the Universe, there lies near the
shore a ship with strange flag, all
red and white bars, with a blue corner
covered with white dots. From this
ship came these three strangers. What
is your pleasure?" Then he bowed
very low.
The Tetrarch glared some more.
Cut off their heads!' he ordered,
with grin.
Bob and Betty smiled back at him
until the Interpreter explained, and
then they fell on their knees and
pleaded for mercy. But the Tetrareh
waved them away, and in a few min
utes they were all three shut up in

Don't they know the taste OF roast
turkey, with stuffin' oozing out, and
gravy with giblets in it?''
The soldier shook his head.
They're sacred" he said. "a man
what kills turkey will lose his
bloomin' cad"
Then he and the Sailor Man talked
and talked and talked. and when they
parted they winked once again.
All the rest of the way to the hut
the Sailor Man was very quiet, and
when at last the prisoners were in their
room. he sat down on the bench and
drew the little folks near him.
Now, Betty" he said, did you ever
see you Ma roast a turkey7"
II have" said Bob.
How did she do it?" asked the
Sailor Man.
well, she put some bread and
things together and stuffed 1t, put Il
in the oven and cooked it brown, and
1t was good"
But Betty was more explicit. THAT
really is one thing that 1 can cook"
she said. II helped Aunt Sue last
year. and 1 know every single thing
to do, from the stufing to gravy"
The Sailor Man jumped to his feet
and clapped his hands.
Then we're as good as Free" he
Al
at onca."
But first he had to explain to the
eager children that the people in the
whole province of the Tetrarch did
not know the taste of turkey, that the
turkeys were sacred and were wor-
shipped, and that the Tetrarch knew
nothing of the delicious mysteries of
roast turkey served with proper ac-
compartments.
We can't expect cranberries," he
finished. but II there's potato in the
province, wen have them mashed"
But how are we to get the tur-
key? They will kill us IL we kill the
turkey, and that will make II worse
than, ever said Bob.
You can't have your heads cut off
but once" replied the Sailor Man,
with grin, land wen try cutting off
one of those sacred heads first"
Then the Interpreter came and took
back to the Tetrarch this message:
"Oh, Most Wonderful One, the little
strangers and the big stranger in the
two hundredth cell send the humble
message that IL you will appoint a day,
they will set before you a dish such as
is Mt for kings"
The Tetrarch snacked his lips, rub
bed his fat chin. and appointed Thurs
day for the test.
'If we don't have cold weather on
Thursday, we're gone" said the Sailor
Man when he heard, for roast turkey

and Betty's cheeks grew paler and
paler, and the spirits of Bob and the
Sailor Man sank lower and lower.
But on Wednesday afternoon, Betty
looked out towards the sea, and there
was a little dark cloud. She called
the Sailor Man, and the Sailor Man
waved his cap and danced a little
hornpipe.
Tomorrow mornin' wen all be
shivering in our skins" he said, ''for
that kind of cloud always brings a
storm and cold weather.
While they stood al the window, the
tall soldier who had talked to the
Sailor Man came and stood very near
