There has been q large amount of
damaged cotton in this section the
past season, and many r discussing
the best means of so caring for the
valuable product as to avoid 3 repeti
ton of such losses In the future. The
old theory that it did not injure cotton
to leave It out In the weather, Is ex-
ploded, and 1t is becoming too valuable
to longer indulge in such carelessness.
The cottonyard man who accepts cot
ton on storage, should have his prem
ises arranged to protect it from damp.

Now the extraordinary feature of the
situation was that Father Beret had
known positively for nearly five years
that Father Sebastian was dead and
buried.
"Ah, yes" NJ. Roussillon continued,
pouring the claret with one hand and
making pious gesture with the other.
1.-The dear old man loves you and prays
for you. His voice quavers whenever
he speaks of you"

you about the birthmark on my shoul-

and had never had one there or on any

"How strange" Alice remarked. 81,

The priest laughed.
IF our marks are alike, that would

"But what shape is yours, father?'
1--WE never seen it." he responded.
"Never seen it! Why?''
"Well. it's absolutely invisible" and

"You talk as they write in novels"
said Alice. 1--WE read about Just such

Roussillon are welcome to hide it deep

souled, brave heroes"
"Read about the blessed saints, then,
my daughter. You will find in them
the true heroes and heroines Of this
world" said Father Beret.
NJ. Roussillon changed the subject,
for he always somehow dreaded to
have the good priest fall into the strain
Of argument he was about to begin. A
stray sheep, no matter how refractory,
feels a touch of longing when it hears
the shepherds voice. NJ. Roussillon
was a Catholic. but a straying one, and
he had promised the dying woman
who gave Alice to him that the child
should be left as she was, Protestant,
without undue influence to change her
from the faith her parents. This
promise he had kept with stubborn per-
sistencc, and he meant to keep it as
long as he lived.
A few weeks had passed after NJ.
Roussillon's return when that big
hearted man took 1t into his head to
celebrate his successful trading VEN

without reserve to all the inhabitants
Of Vincennes. 1t was certainly dem.
