thought 1 would like to go to Texas some
time or somewhere in that direction, so
wrote to the secretary of the interior and
asked about Indian lands. He referred me
TO the Indian agency at Muskogee, so
wrote there just for joke. 1 didn't really
want land, just wanted to see how
cheap 1t was in case ever did. Well
somebody in Oklahoma wrote me that
the only way to get Indian land was to
marry into the tribe and take an Indian
girl for wife: That's all there was to
it-just a joke

came in a half snothered voice from the
bed clothes. Il did write to that fellow
out West just for a joke, just for a little
lark, to send me the names of some In
dian girls"
The confession came from under two
quits and a blanket. Then the clothes
were thrown back again and there came
loud and clear for the bedroom audience
and the family group in the sitting room:

THE COTTON GIN.
Revolution Wrought BY lt-What the
Cotton Picker Would Do.
TO BE CONTINUED,

Revolution Wrought BY lt-What tho
Cotton Picker Would Do.
DR.. Dabney of the University Of Ten
nessee, is quoted as having said that
when the difficulty Of picking cotton
Is overcome by the invention Of cot
ton picking machine, cotton will then
be cultivated and harvested very much
as wheat Is in the northwest" Mr..
Wade H. Harris of the Charlotte Even
ing Chronicle. believes that the cotton
picking machine Is coming and that 1t
will revolutionize the cotton Industry.
Editor Lowry Of the Mount Airy
News, has already invented a machine
for chopping cotton, and, 1t Is said,
has been offered a large sum for his
invention.
We know how the invention Of the
cotton gin transformed the industrial
world. Before it's invention the cotton
production was limited to few
pounds on each plantation. The seeds
were picked from these few pounds by
the patient fingers Of those who sat
around the winter fire that blazed up
on the open hearth Of the old south
ern home. The lint then passed into
the finished product by slow process
that involved the cards, the wheel, the
loom and the skill and patience of the
frugal housewife who dreamed as she
wrought the dreams Of industrial
greatness to come and prayed as she
dreamed in the secret silence OF her
provident soul, the prayers that nave
been answered in the fact Of industrial
greatness already achieved.
1t is interesting to note what a part
the little invention, the cotton gin, has
played in the industrial development
not only Of America, but Of Europe as
we'll. It's magic influence touched the
f1eecy whiteness that adorned the few
stalks that grew behind the old plan
tation barn, and the south was a SOL
i'd bloom Of white; 1t gave geograph-
ical distinction to the cotton belt;
it touched the pauper in America, Eng
land, Scotland and Germany, and he
became a millionaire; 1t peopled the
barren wastes Of New England and
Scotland with millions Of wealth-pro-
ducing men and women; and even In
the south where only few years ago
the low murmur of the pine tree broke
the stiffness of the unpeopled forest,
the busy hum of the cotton mill Is
heard and cities have sprung up In a
decade. 1t has sent ships to every
mort and enriched the commerce OF
the world. Seeing what the gin has
wrought, who can estimate the results
that the cotton picking machine might
accomplish ?-Statesvill Mascot.

r. COVERED by their long cloaks,
III unnoticed by the few who
T51 were in the streets, Alma and
ES6SJ Harvey Irons went toward
the river. Several times Harvey tried
to speak, but Alma would not permit it.
Winding through the narrower streets,
met twice by sentries and giving the
password, which she knew, Alma led
him safely to the wharf where the hay
boats lay. Lanterns moved here and
there but most Of the boatmen were
asleep Alma knew where the boat Of
Charka Of Ashkar was moored and hur
ried to it. 1t could not well be mis-
caken, for it was the largest Of the
hayboats, and it's cargo had not been
touched.

The captain took down the bunch Of
keys. He trembled and turned white.
"What is the matter" commanded
Jurneiff.
1.-THE key is gone"
Jurneiff swayed. He no longer
thought Of promotion, but how to save
himself from disgrace.
"The door must be broken in. Go for
the locksmith."
The locksmith was reused from his
sleep and soon had the door open.
Jurneiff rushed in and began opening
the cells, In one he found Dellnikoff,
sleeping as If drunk. He dragged him
out to the light.
"Druggedw he exclaimed. "The girl

"In the lower dungeons there are

"Do you keep ali prisoners for Sibe-

Eyes, excellency."
Alma knew the general plan Of the
prison and went at once to the lower
dungeons. She found the key that un.
locked the iron door that led to the
corridor.

1T is the close atmosphere. We
shall be out again soon. You will feel
better"
They passed In. and she locked the
door behind them. The first cell they
came to she unlocked. A dirty looking
wretch was lying on his pallet Of
straw.
"He will be cleaner in Siberia" said
Alma as she locked his cell.
The next cell was empty, and she
did not relock the door. Each cell door
In turn she opened and looked in. They
had almost completed the round Of the
corridor when she heard the prince
breathing heavily. She turned and
found him leaning against the wall.

"Come out in the air." she said.

His head dropped. With strength
born Of the exigencies Of the moment
she thrust him into an empty cell and
tore the long cloak from under him.
Then she locked the door. Swiftly,
breathlessly, with painting bosom and
trembling hands, she opened door after
door. In almost the last cell Of the row
was Harvey Irons asleep.
"Wake up! Wake up, NJ. Irons" Al

Harvey obeyed her injunctions. She

I'm good condition, all but the atmos-
phere. 1t Is so close 1t has made Iny

cool air for awhile. after which we will
return and resume our inspection"
The bunch Of keys was heavy, and as
the guard took them from Alma's hand
he did not notice that one had been
abstracted. He hung the bunch in its
accustomed place. A moment later the
doors of Tifis prison had closed behind
Alma Jurnieff and Harvey Irons.

- great surprise to be given the
&&IS0 guests two stealthy figures

easily found, and they stepped into it

plain uniform he had worn as lieuten.
ant of cavalry. He wore over that q
long black cloak that concealed every
inch of his apparel. In his arms he
carried his brilliant uniform Of inspect.
or general of prisons.
Alma laughed. called him a good
prince and patted his cheek. She let
his arm rest about her waist as the
carriage hurried to Jurnieffs home
Arriving, she led the prince by pri'
vate way to Jurnieff's apartments. A
servant met them and was dismissed
with the curt remark that Colonel Jur.
nieff had sent them for something and
they needed no attendance.
She left Dellnikoff in the library and
took the bundle from him. She hurried
to her room. When she got there, she
knelt and prayed. Marie found her on
her knees and lifted her.
marie, hush for your life! Swear
by all that you hold sacred you will
not breathe q word Of what you see
tonight until tomorrow. Better yet, gol

Can you not trust me, mademoi-
selle?"
Il cannot trust myself. Go! You
know nothing. I came home from the
ball feeling ILL.,"
The maid retired, and Alma dressed
herself in the uniform Of the inspector
general Of prisons. In closet were
pair Of boots she had purchased. The
long cloak she had bought, as that
worn by Dellnikoff, covered her com.
pletely. With pair Of slears she cut
her beautiful tresses short. In her e1.
citement she left them where they fell
upon the floor. She went to the library
and threw aside the cloak.
Alma" cried the prince, rushing to
her, 'you are superb! The uniform be

though it is a trifle large. Where did
you get the boots?
"They were left by a-by a soldier
who knows Marie, my maid. Oh. am
SO nervous! can scarcely bring my
self to the lark now that have won
you to it. But we have gone SO far, we
must 60 on. We will have some wine
before we CO."
She left the room and returned with
two glasses filled.
Drink to the success Of our expedt
tion"'
He took the glass from her hands
and asked her to touch her lips to the
rim. She did so and gave him her
glass for the same salute.
ITO the success of the handsomest,
dashingest, daringest inspector OF pris-
ons the ear of Russia ever had!
They both drank the toast.
Now come. know the way" she
said. 1.-The papers-the commission-l

"You will not need them If you make
your voice heavier"
Amazed. half conscious Of what he
was doing, the prince followed. She
led him down a staircase to a stone
corridor. The captain Of the prison
guard came to meet them. The visor
of her cap was pulled down. She stiff
ened up and addressed the guard with
dignity.
