to erect colossal statue IN honor OF
Kruger on an imposing pedestal in
Church square. Pretoria. Only the
base was erected, however. While
the war was in progress the statue,
ordered by the Transvaal government,
was delivered by the sculptors at Della.

save her from herself.
1t was in the briar-pricked fingers,
which he was pressing against his
cheek, that he found his answer. Sud.

before her, laughing with joyful light

Putting her gently from him, he
gathered up the spoils she had let
fall. picking from among them with
great care the tairest of either kind,
while she. catching his mood, watched
him April-faced.
This" he said gaily, "is the red
rose of my heart. Battle fields lay
between us and tower walls, and the
way was long and hard to find, yet
can you deny, my elf, that you came
in and plucked it and wore it away in

lay it beside the other, and as her face
was too proud for fear SO was it too
tender for jesting. Il am more hon

But as he would have caught her

stretch a hand toward dark-robed

arch. and her pride melted into a
laugh of breathless happiness. sis

difference between this and the time
when he had bent before her in the
Abbey was the difference between
tender jest and tenderer earnest.
"Thus then do l ask you to give me
back your love-" he said gently-and
would have said more but that she
turned, stirred to kind Of generous
shame.

as looking into his face she saw some
thing that startled her into forgetful-
ness of all else. why are your cheeks
so hollow?" she demanded. "And so
gray-as though you had lost blooi?
Lord. what has come near you?"
He could not conceal the sudden
pleasure he got out of her alarm for
him, even while he answered as light

than the fatigue of his three days in
the saddle; and lack of food, per-

and she would not be put off. Coming
close to him, she pulled aside the
dusty cloak, hot as live coal in the
glare of the day, and there-behold!- =
there were blood stains on the breast
or his blue kirtle. Forgetful Of every
thing else, she flung her arms around
him as though to shield him. "Sebert,
you are wounded! What is it?"
Nothing that troubled him very
much. apparently. for his haggard face
had grown radiant with gladness. Yet
he was enough afraid Of the reaction
to answer her as grayely as possible:
1T is Rothgar Lodbroksson,, whom |
met coming from the city as l was
journeying back from my errand in
Northampton. Little affection has
ever passed between us, and this time
something more than usual seemed to

gave him an opening.
"Never did I blame Rothgar much

COTTON MARKET
 HAS PRIMER TONE Final Prices Were About the
 Lowest
EARLY ADVANCE SOON LOST
After Ruling Irregular During the Late Forenoon, With the South Selling Moderately, the Pressure Be-
 came More Pronounced,

New York, January 12.-The cotton market developed frmer tone today under local bear pressure and liquidation with final prices at about the lowest of the session.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of ? points, the slight changes being in line with the Liverpool cables which reflected disposi- tion on the part of the English trade to merely follow American fluctuations and await developments. German operators who have recently been liberal buyers appeared to be supporting the market at the opening, and offerings of a general character were curtailed by the reports of continued frmness among interior holders. Prices following the call worked up about points above the opening figures.
 Leading room brokers had big selling orders on a scale-up, however, and be- fore the session was an hour old prices had lost the early advance. After ruling irregular the late forenoon, with the south selling moderately and the local trade working both ways, pressure be-
 
 some of the bear leaders were trying to force out the recently accumulated long interest, and in the afternoon the market had a sharp break, with May selling about 20 points down from the best point of the morning, and some 14 points below the closing of yesterday.
 The close was steadied by room cover- ing, but at a net loss of 10 to r points. Sales futures were estimated at 275, COG bales.
 Port receipts for the day were moder- ate and interior receipts were again small, while exports were full.
 Receipts of cotton at the ports today 4,SSs bales, against 27.7SO last week and 2S,57S last year. For the week 190 GOO against 197,7OO last week, and 1S2.901 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 14,22o against 11,3a last year, and at Hous- ton 454S against 277S last year.

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

The market broke about as readily as it advanced yesterday. At one time July sold at 7.1S, and then broke to 7.04, with very little trade. There was considerable cotton taken on the rise, and when shorts had covered the market collapsed The same pressure noticeable heretofore was exerted though receipts were small and Liverpool showed steadiness.
 The advance early caused profiC-takng, and 1t was not until the price had de- clined 15 points that there was very much buying by those who sold early in the day. The tone showed feverishness and a general uncertainty In all dlrec- tions. There is too much cotton for sale at any advance to encourage general buy ing, and the bears have made all of the money this season; they keep hammer ing away, and it will take quite a strong market to intimidate them The market was as peculiar as was the one yester- day, and the day beo acmfwyp apau day and the day before. First there was the break and then the advance this morning again.
 Prices moved around as though there was manipulation going on. As long as the south holds there can hardly be a running break, relying on shorts to take in cotton on a break, and then sell on a rally; this tends to steady the market and prices did not run down as rapidly as earlier in the season On further break there will be more buying by those who sold higher up.

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter

LoVeman 6 Co.'s Market Letter. By H. & B. Beer.
 The market opened with an unusual show of strength, and prices at one time ruled six points higher than yes- terday, although Liverpool was in- different and sent no inspiring news We have had our suspicious that certain parties who seemed rather aggressive on the bull side were simply helping prices upward for the purpose of selling to better advantage This belief was well founded, as on the rise the same parties who were active in advancing prices were the first to sell heavily, and they have continued to sell throughout the day. From the high point of this morning there has been a decline of twenty points and the market closed near the bottom at a net loss, as compared with yesterday, of 10 to F points.
 There is no escaping the fact that the number of holders who are becoming un- easy is daily growing. A few days ago 1t was only in Alabama that desire was seen Next came Texas, and now we hear that in some banks in Savannah district are pressing their holders to let go their cotton. As we near the date of the ginners' report, 1t is but natural to expect this uneasiness to increase. A considerable long interest has been built up on the last rise, predicted on the be- lief that exporters are heavily short for January shipment and that with far mers holding back the competition to get what is needed would give active and higher spot markets. If holders continue to weaken longs will become frightened and by selling out may add to the weight on the market. A new feature has de- veloped today
