through the long watches of the night

all, like a desperate gambler, on one
throw, and awaited the result with pain
ful anxiety. She had not meant her
threat but she would wait until the NOR

she would go away.
She removed all traces OF a sleepless
night and went down TO breakfast. when
the bell rang. Her entrance caused a
cessation of conversation and the other
boarders looked confused until one of
their number approached her with an
open newspaper, and held out his hand
ALLOW me TO be the first to offer my con-
gratulations," he said, cordially. Her
glance fell upon the paper and she saw,
In large type the announcement of her
marriage year past. All, her play had
not failed, after all He was not willing
to give her up to another.
She drew long breath OF relief and
looking up saw her husband entering
the room. He went up to her and put his
arms around her before all the watch
ing eyes.

he said firmly, but tenderly, 81 cannot
live without you any longer"

Really? A small matter like that
can hardly concern you" She spoke
coolly, but her heart beat rapidly and
she could scarce control her voice. Here
was the opportunity she had wished for
and she waited eagerly for his next
words.

HOMEMADE CORN CUTTER
Simple Device for Whose Construc-
ton Nothing Is Needed But a
Sledge and Scythe Blade.

Where large fields Of corn are grown
cheap, quick system of cutting the
crop is essential. The simple device
shown in the illustration. which can be
readily constructed by any handy man
on farm, is made from a sledge and a
scythe blade. The size need not be ex-
actly as described. bat the body must
not be too wide to go easily between the
rows.
The sledge part is three and one-half

 Except for brief spasm of buying, based on the cold now coming in from the southwest bringing freezing tempera- lures to Texas, Oklahoma, Indian Terri tory and Arkansas, the market today has been devoid of interest. Liverpool was softer than expected, but not very soft, and our prices during the early morning sold off points. The bad weather caused a recovery of this loss, but towards the end of the day prices drifted backward again and finally closed under last night. Rains and colder weather east of the gulf and south Atlantic states. News from the spot markets is conflicting. Greenville. Tex, says: Mine and three
 eighths was basis for mddling; holders refuse to sell.''
 Dallas reports big spot business yes- terday with the eastern and foreign spin ners Bremen and Liverpool have ad- vanced their limits today.

Total at all ports 5S.5O9 against 71.242; in- terior, 3S. 055 against 46.00S. It Is estimated that interior stocks will gain only 45.00C against last years gain of 49.000.
 The market is being flooded with re-
 ports of enormous quantities of cotton held back in the interior and unusual in- terest Is therefore centered on the ap-
 preaching ginners' report The returns will be made up to November IA, and the first bulletin will probably appear week later.
