Ing of it. When the hand was disclosed It had no marriage sign upon 1t, but the third finger bore a ring which might very well represent engagement. The inquisitive old lady sighed, as though to suggest kindly warning against long continuance of that state of affairs.
 The girl slid the ring up and down upon her finger.
 There's no risk of losing it now ?" Trevoe asked.
 "Oh, no," she said. with an upward glance that really thrilled him. She certainly, he thought, acted uncom- monly well.
 The train shot into tunnel.
 Are we going to keep this up?" he whispered. If we drop 1t now the old lady'll think we've been fooling her"
 Why should we drop it?"
 "All right. My names Jack"
 Mines Jessie"
 To Trevoe, after this compact, the position became delightful, and the girl called Jessie appeared to enjoy 1t no less. The old lady became more and more confidential and gradually drew her husband into the talk. She still had the spirit of youth in her and these apparently united lovers revived It to bubbling confidence. She even begged them to call upon her after their marriage and named her address. Trevoe noted it with a shudder; it was within stones throw of his mothers He evaded the giving of his own name with a burning sense of guilt.
 At Paddington the two parted from the old couple on the platform As the girl had anticipated, there was no one to meet her.
 Are we to part, too," Trevoe asked, without ever knowing each others names?"
 Yours is Jack" she laughed.
 "Yes. But somehow don't feel quite sure that yours is Jessie"
 "On my honor"
 Tt would rather spoil the romance of the thing to know more, wouldn't it?" asked Trevoe, doubtfully.
 That's exactly what was think ing" she said. "We got through a long journey very pleasantly, didn't we, and made the acquaintance of a most pleasant and kind-hearted old lady?"
 q feel rather ashamed about her."
 "So do l." the girl admitted.
 "If we never meet again, shall al- ways be your debtor" he said. But if do happen to see you, may claim the acquaintance?"
 Certainly" q don't much like parting like this; but, candidly. agree with you it's the best way"
 "The only way" she said. "The whole affair was too trivial to bear touching again. AS it stands it was a delightful experience.
 Delicious"
 But I shan't repeat it." she said lou6hlh6'
 Thanks That makes my debt to you all the heavier"
 Where shall I tell the man to driver" he asked, with kind of lin gering hope.
 "ro Victoria, please" she said, fash ing triumphant smile at him.
 Then it's 'good-by,' Jessie?" He held out .fiIs hanalshdsatts clasped il warmly for an instant.
 Its 'good-by,' Jack"
 Victoria station" he called to the cabman. The man drove briskly away
 Trevoe has made no effort to dis cover the companion of that journey after a time he ceased even to wish to meet her. Nothing in the world iS less exhilarating than fiat champagne

CONTROL OF THE CANAL ZONE
Brief of the Government in the Lottery
Agents Case

Attorney General Moody and Solicitor
General Hoyt unite in a brief filed today in
the Supreme Court of the United States
in the matter of the application of OH
Nifou, the Chinese agent on. the canal zone
of the Panama Canal Company who seeks
release from arrest on a writ of habeas cor
pus on the ground that his concession from
the government of Panama antedated the
treaty between the United States and
Panama, and protects him against the en-
forcement of the anti-lottery laws of this
country.
They take the position that the petition
for such writ should be denied; that the
zone is under the control of the United
States that the failure of the last Congress
to legislate did not affect the legal status
of the zone and that the local courts have
complete jurisdiction in the matter.

NORFOLK COTTON MARKET.
Season Promises to Continue Later This
Year-Large Holdings.
Correspondence of The Evening Star.

NORFOLK, Va, April 49, 1905.
The cotton season in Norfolk promises to
continue later this year than in many years
past and a cotton man remarked this morn
ing that he would not be surprised to see
the present season extend well over into
the new season beginning September / next.
Ordinarily the cotton season here ends
about March 81, and the cotton men then
have a rest until September, there being
very little for them TO do during the sum-
mer months.
This year cotton dealers and others have
been holding cotton in large quantities
with the hope of higher prices. Much of the
cotton has been held in Norfolk city, while
some to avoid storage ard insurance have
been keeping their supplies In the country.
The approach Of the new season has.
forced the old cotton to market and the
Norfolk wharves are at the present time
stacked with the product, whereas ordina-
lily II is hard to find bale of cotton on
local wharves at this season of the year.
The cotton clerks who for some months
have been working night and day with the
hope of a long rest during the summer are
now anticipating continued work through
the heated season.
Cotton receipts are continuing heavy from
day to day, while prices continue along s
cents and the like.
