being frightened at every shadow,
be bold--knoW your own rights, and
let no one interfere with them. What
sin to sit preaching on this bright
day; but a sermon will do you good,
Lady Selwyn. Remember the com
mlttee this evening, and | shall watch
you narrowly, to see If my lecture has
been of any service to you. Now,
good-by."
And the beautiful fowerlike face
dropped over the fair, sad young wife
The lips that had never sighed-had
known naught but smiles-touched the
lips to whom smiles were rare. Then
the radiant lady, whose life had no
care, went away, leaving Lady Selwyn
cnce more alone under the gladiolus,
with those words of caution and advice
ringing in her ears.
Had it really come to this, that
strangers noted and commented upon
the state CT things in their household?
Could 1t really be that strangers saw
that Beatrice Leigh had more in
huence over her husband than she
had? 1t was her own fault In those
early days, when Vivian's love was I'M
touched by doubt, If she had complied
more with his wishes, things would
never come to this pass. Better to
have made a few blunders-to have
committed few faults-to have
made mistakes; better that thous-
and times than for Miss Leigh to have
grown accustomed to taking her place
Was II too late to changer she
asked herself, YEARLY. "If she could
summon up courage now, and try, step
by step, to regain all she had lost,
would 1t be Of any use?" She was
young, and held life dear. 1t seemed
hard that hope and happiness should
gradually fade from her. The sun.
shine and the flowers seemed to smile
upon her. Bending over the golden
gladlolus-in whose fragrant bells
the bees were hummlng-she said to
herself that she would try.
An opportunity came that very day.
During dinner Vivian spoke of the
evening, and laughed at the countess
piquant notion Of a committee.
ut Is some distance to her house"
VIclante said. "How shall we go?"
AS usual, Miss Leigh, who consider
ed the formation Of all plans her own
particular province, spoke.
1T will be a fine evening" she said,
and walk by the Arno will be de.
lightful."
Beatrice" said Vivian.
No one appealed to Lady Selwyn
or seemed to think she had any wish
In the matter, Now was the time to
try
IF you have no objection" she said
turning her fair flushed face to Miss
Leigh. Il should like to drive. The
walk Is rather long for me"
They looked at her with seine sur.
prise-it was the ftst time she had
dissented from any wish
Certainly" said Vivian. Beatrice

II settled | will order the carriage
for seven"
1t was Lady Selwyn's first triumph.
She had not time TO feel pleased over
II before seeing the expression on Miss
l.oieh's face, 1t startled her; for 1t
said that she should suffer for the con.
and she considered the
victory dearly bought,

DEMERE & HAMMOND
Believe "A squeeze" in JuIy-August
Is Under Way.

New York, July From reliable ca
bles received. from Liverpool it looks
very probable that squeeze is under
way in the July-August position, and
the situation thus developed, combined
with reports of less favorable crop
prospects, started a covering movement
which carried prices here at one time
40 points higher on old crop and near
ly 20 on winter months. The bull
clique in Liverpool, of which little has
been heard until to-day is said to have
stopped $4,000 bales of notices during
the first few days of July, and the
Bremen fire, by developing the fact
that the short interest in near months
was much larger than popularity sup
posed, has given sudden Importance to
this action. 1t is well known that the
public prefer to buy on something SEN
sational, like a corner or squeeze, than
on most legitimate or substantial rea-
sons, and there is no doubt that the
short interests is very much disturbed
over the outlook. A downpour of $50
inches of rain at Wetherford, Okla,
and over 2 inches at a number of places
in Mississippi and Louisiana, furnish
ed the opportunity to raise the cry of
too much rain" and it must be con-
fessed that the western half of the belt
is really getting too much to do good.
New England spinners are in the mar
ket, but they could not find here the
quality they need, three-fourths of our
stock being composed of very high
grade cotton and most of remainder
is tinged and stained. Good business
would have resulted if the proper
grade could have been secured, and
the demand was reflected in the sud
Gen strength of near positions, which
were conspicuously brought by one of
our leading spot houses. 1t is claimed
now that Europe has been a steady
buyer of cotton for shipment from
September to January and that ex-
porters who thus sold ahead have been
the leading buyers day by day of far
months as hedges.

It is reported that, beginning Aug. 1,
the United Fruit Company will begin
the sale of bananas by the pound, in
stead of by the bunch. This change
will have little effect at Savannah,
for the greater part of the fruit used
here is bought at the Gulf ports, where
this system of selling bananas by the
pound has been in operation for some
time. 1t was only at the Atlantic
ports that the old system of selling
by the bunch has been in vogue, and
so these are the only cities that will
be affected.
