L am sorry to say; indeed, he usually cried
himself to sleep Mother had told him he

II he did that. Oh, yes, father was brave
man, and he did indeed want to be like
him. But still it was very hard to be left
alone to go to sleep in the dark.
One night he lay awake for ever so long,
and 1t was very, very dark He covered
his head, and thought he had more reason
to be frightened because Tomlns was gone
Now Tomlins was the dearest doll in the
world, in Billies opinion. He had always
taken Tomlins to bed, and ne didn't realize
until now what good company he had been
That day he had seen a poor little girl
who was crying because her little baby
brother had gone away, and was never
coming back, never, not today, nor tomor-
row, nor even the day after. How awful
that must be, thought Billie; so he gave
her his dear Tomlins. He did so hope she
would take good care of him. for Tomlins
was dreadfully afraid of the dark, too.
Billie lay thinking of Tomlins and what
comfort he had been when he saw a
light. How scared he was! He was sure
something dreadful was going to happen.
He lay very still, and waited, but nothing
came. He wondered; perhaps it had gone
should he look? He might take a little
peep unseen. At last he became brave

couldn't see very much Of it, so he opened
the covers wider, and with rush of fear

filled the room. Billie looked out OF his

Ware 6 LeIand's Market Letter.

Without exception the days cotton mar ket proved the most perverse of the sea- son.
 Early in the day the failure of Liver pool to meet the local decline, together with reports of absence of offerings in the south and the appearance of cold wave in the extreme northwest all op- erated in favor of smart recovery of 10 points.
 There the advance ended. There was no increase in outside business, commis- sion houses buying a little cotton early turned sellers. Professionals were not disposed to look for an advance of suf- ficient extent to warrant them in taking any cotton on the prospects of higher prices and prospects of higher prices, and the result was that on the advance the market became dull and lfeless one.
 As though waiting for the weekly re- port. which could not have been very much worse in detail than it proved, pro- fessionals started hammering the market, and in few minutes prices lost all the advance and recorded net decline of or points.

MORE ACTIVITY IN THE STOCK MARKET Money Situation Causes Many

 day.
REPUBLIC STOCK STRONG

New York, October 17.-An increased supply of loanable funds which appeared in the call loan market this morning started the professional operators buying stock. The rate for call loans recovered later in the day, and stocks bought earlier were sold out. The result was considerable increase in the activity Ill the market oyer that of yesterday and on several preceding days. The days mar ket enforced the opinion that large waiting speculation is restrained from entering the market only by the exigen- cies of the money situation.
 The large supply of funds early In the day at per cent. was offered by bank CTS closely connected with the Notation of the Japanese loan. This led to the infer ence that the proceeds of the subscrip- tions paid on Monday were being replaced in the money market. W nen this supply had been absorbed, rates rose again to near the prevailing rate of yesterday Sterling exchange rose vigorously and the supposition that preparations for the re- mittance of Japanese funds were a factor in the exchange market, caused feeling of distrust of the easing effect caused by the placing of these funds in call loans which presumably would be only temporary. Reports were current also of maturities falling due on very large ster- ling loans which had to be covered in the exchange market. Cotton and grain bills continued scarce in the market so that this extra demand Is effective in running up the rates towards the export gold point Gold was marked up further in the London market, and the open market discount rate there rose fairly above the bank rate. Sterling exchange recovered a fraction at Paris, but continued down.
