CHAPTER XXI.
HOW BILL HIT THE TRAIL.


NA Y0HEN "the crowd was with us
IN" the Pilot read us all sorts of
lsE@zA tales of adventures in all
EE43S lands by heroes of all ages,
but when we three sat together by our
fire the Pilot would always read us
tales Of the heroes of sacred story, and
these delighted Bill more than those of
any of the ancient empires of the past.
He had his favorites. Abraham, Mo
ses, Joshua. Gideon, never failed to
arouse his admiratio But Jacob was
to him always "a mean cuss," and
David he could not appreciate. Most
of all he admired Moses and the apos-
tic Paul. whom he called that little
chap" But when the reading was
about the one Great Man that moved
majestic amid the gospel stories Bill
made no comments he was too high
for approval
BY and by Bill began to tell these
tales to the boys, and one night. when
a ,liiiet mood had fallen upon sl- G.
pany, Bill broke the science.
Say, Pilot, where was it that i.

1t was a remarkably sudden conver
sion and lasting in its effects. There
was no more agnosticism in the little
group that gathered around the Pilot
for the nightly reading.
The interest in the reading kept
growing night by night. af3
Seems as If the Pilot was gittin' In

at the grave, eager faces agreed. He
J was getting in his work with Bill, too,
though perhaps Bill did not know it.
remember one night, when the others
had gone, the Pilot was reading to us
the parable Of the talents and Bill was
particularly interested in the servant
who failed in his duty.
"Ornery cuss, eh?'' he remarked.
"And gall, too, Ell? Served him blamed
well right, in my opinion!'
But when the practical bearing Of
the parable became clear to him, after
long silence, he said slowly:
"Well, that there seems to indicate
that it's about time for me to get a
rustic on" Then, after another silence,
he said hesitatingly: This here church
buildin' business now, do you think
that II perhaps count, mebbe? I guess
not, eh? 'Tain't much, of course. any
way" Poor Bill, he was like child,
and the Pilot handled him with a
mothers touch.

Bronco Dustin and CATTLE" said
Bill wonderingly. That's my line"
"Well, Bill, my line is preaching just
now and plotting, you know" The
Pilots smile was like a sunbeam on d
rainy day, for there were tears in his
eyes and voice. "And we have just got
to be faithful. You see what he says:
Well done, good and faithful servant.
Thou hast been faithful"
Bill was puzzled.
"Faithfulg' he repeated. "Does that
mean with the cattle, perhaps?"
Eyes, that's just it, Bill, and with
everything else that comes your way"
And Bill never forgot that lesson, for
l heard him, with kind of quiet en-
thusiasm, giving it to Hi as great
find Now, 1 call that fair DEAL" he
said to his friend. ''Gives every man
a show. No cards up the sleeve"
''That's So" was His thoughtful re-
ply; distributes the trumps."
Somehow Bill came to be regarded
as an authority upon questions Of re-
ligion and morals. No one ever ac-
cused him of "gettin' religion" He
went about his work in his slow, quiet
way, but he was always sharing his
discoveries with "the boys" And If
any one puzzled him with subtleties he
never rested till he had him face to
face with the Pilot. And SO 1t came
that these two drew to each other with
more than brotherly affection. When
Bill got into dificulty with problems
that have vexed the souls Of men far
wiser than he, the Pilot would either
disentangle the knots or would turn his
mind to the verities that stood out
sure and clear, and Bill would be con-
tent.
That's good enough for me-" he
would say. and his heart would be at
rest

IN" the Pilot fell sick Bill nursed

the church was finished, and visiting
him twice week. The love between
the two was most beautiful. and when

lieving in men and things l let my
mind wander back to scene that l
came upon In front of Ovens house.
These two were standing alone in the
clear moonlight, Bill with his hand
upon the Pilots shoulder and the Pilot
with his arm around BilPs neck.
"Dear old Bill,' the Pilot was say
ing, dear old Bill" and the voice was
breaking into sob. And Bill, stand

stars, coughed and swallowed hard
for some moments, and said in queer,
croaky voice:

would blow up"

a catch In his voice. You dear old
humbug" And he stood watching till
the lank form swayed down into the
canyon.
& The day Of the church opening came,
as all days, however long waited for,
will come, a bright, beautiful Christ

frosty light, as if arrested by a voice of
command, waiting the word to move.
The hills lay under their dazzling COW
erlets asleep. Back of all the great
peaks lifted their majestic heads out
of the dark forests and gazed with
calm, steadfast faces upon the white,
sunlit world. Today, as the light filed

for the Pilot and the Old Timer who

system every cotton dealer full appreciates. In
fact, Mr.. Edward Atkinson, one of our highest
American authorities on cotton subjects, IS on
record as declaring cotton to be "the most bar
barously handled commercial product in the
world" Besides the lack of uniformity in size,
gins at present are able to pack cotton at the
average density of only fourteen pounds per cubic
foot. Every bale not sold to local mills therefore
must be sent to some cotton compress and the size
reduced two-thirds before it can be exported.
The round-lap cylindrical bale introduced a few
years ago was hailed by many as filing the long
felt want for a better system, but the beginning
of the end came a few days ago (September Z,
1909 when the company was thrown into the
hands of a receiver, with liabilities much in ex-
cess of the assets. The round bale failed partly
because the world had been too long accustomed to
the square form to take kindly to a change; part
" because round bales do not pack so compactly
as square bales, just as logs require more space
than plank; and partly because the company which
owned the round bale presses threatened a mo-
nopoly, only leasing it's machinery and refusing to
sell on any terms.
Just now another baling systematic Whitman
is coming into prominence, but not enough is
known of it as yet to Justify a final word as to its
merits. It's promoters, one of whom is Daniel D..
Sully, the famous cotton bull of 1903-claim that
it packs cotton at the gin to such density as to do
away with the necessity for recompressing. This
company, too, proposes to sell its machinery out
right. thus avoiding the fatal blunder of the
round-lap promoters.
Marketing and Exporting the Crop.
In marketing the cotton crop, there has been
in recent years a marvellous gain in directncss and
economy. Formerly the farmer sold to his 1ner-
chant at the county seat; the merchant ut the
county seat sold to the commission merchant at
the State capital; the commission merchant scld
to the dealer at the seaport; the seaport dealer
sold TO the New York exporter; the New York ex-
porter sold to Liverpool, and Liverpool sold to
Manchester. Now all this is changed-how great
" changed will be seen from the report of a cotton
exporting house which handles more than 3OO,OOo
ha1es each season. "The cotton is now bought on
the plantations or at the railway stations through
ont the whole Cotton Belt by the representatives
of large exporting houses and by the mills, SAID
the manager of this export house to me the othe1
dav. "Our firm employs more than lOo puyers
for this purpose, and the cotton is shipped daily
