New York, May 12.-Liverpool broke
badly to-day for ne special reason that
can be ascertained except the absence
of any sharp demand from spinners.
European houses were free sellers here
during the first hour and after the
rally which preceded the Houston
receipts the bull houses here were con-
tinually pressing long cotton for sale
The lowest prices were touched on
the liquidation from which the market
recovered on New Orleans estimate.
The movement is very light and we
should at least have a sharp rally af-
ter this break for which there appears
no reason except the absence of any
demand from spinners. Crop reports
continue favorably from nearly every
point.

forecast was for scattered showers.
Receipts at the ports were 5000 against
10000. Although the weather and crop
news has been remarkably good up
to this date the more conservative
element are not dismissing from their
minds the possibility of developments
during July and August which may
change the crop situation completely,
hence it is argued that liquidation
should now come to an end until the
season has further advanced. Esti-

arrived at Mrs. Halleck's party
There was quite a brilliant COM

near the door to scan the throng
Evidently he was looking for some
body-yes, for his eyes rested now on
young girl.
A girl with a beautiful face upturn-
ed to a fair, handsome man, bending
over the back of her chair. She seem
ed in trance of delight, and wholly
unconscious of anybody's presence in
the brilliantly lighted parlors but the
man bending over her.
And the girl was George Atwood's
promised WIFE
When his eyes rested on her an aw-
full change came over his face, the
rich, dark color fled, leaving 1t white
and rigid, and his lips formed a tense
line under his heavy, dark beard
For days past George Atwood watch

knew that Ida loved him devotedly,
not to notice Alfred Mays attention to
her, but as he caught sight of her
face when he entered Mrs. Halleck's
parlor he knew that he ought to have
kept a better watch over her than he
did. Alfred May possessed the fasci-
nation of a serpent, and he had drawn
Ida into the meshes.
George Atwood turned away with an
ately; her love seemed lost to him, yet
he could not think of giving her up.
"Nfr. Atwood Is here" Alfred May
said. looking down at Ida Challis
The radiant face grew pale, and Ida
shivered as she looked around her. She
had fallen from her world of bliss and
she was once more in Mrs. Halleck's

Where is he?" she asked, in low
voice.

other minute Ida's face was upturned
and rosy once more.
A quadrille was forming. and a gen

dance. Away from Alfred May and
the glamor his presence cast over her
partly vanished thought of her
lover. Where was he? Lid he no

room why didn't he come to her?
These thoughts flashed through Ida's
mind as she waited for the first figure

the opposite side of the room, his eyes
fastened upon her. One glance at his

His Idea Of Heaven.

The lad was about FIVE years of age
and naturally inquisitive. He asked
his father questions he had never
heard before, and the fond parent was
perplexed man.
The youngster got on the subject OF
the next world one day and wanted to
know lot of things. 'Will you wear
a mustache in heaven, papa?" he ask
ed.
Il suppose I will. my son." replied
the father.
You'll make a funny angel"
There was a long pause, and finally
the boy asked what kind of place
heaven was. The father in order to
satisfy his son went into lengthy de-
tails in describing it's beauty.
The lad listened with open mouth
ana finally said, "Why, papa, heaven
must look like the ten cent storer'-

HIS BETTING CLOTHES.
Superstitious Young Man Explains
Cause of His Losses.


There Is new boarder at the board
ing house. He wears new pair of
Scotch tweed trousers, a mile too wide
across the beam, and an embryonic
waxed mustache, which he loves to
train into the form of a grapevine ten
drill. When he is not twirling his ten
drilous mustache or taking another
hitch in his trousers he plasters down
with his hand his straggly growth of
tow-colored hair and confines it as best
ears.

Nearly every schoclboy of a genera
