RULES FOR SUMMER eoARDERs.

Speak often of the refinement or
luxury of your own home.
See, hear, and talk of the PERSONA
affairs of oilers.
Expect everything. Paradise never
takes in summer boarders, but you
have the American right to kick.
Never be punctual at meals, and
carry a crouch toward those who serve
you.
Don't encourage sudden friendships.
Sudden friends make gradual enc
mics.
If you can play, or sing, or help to
entertain the other guests, don't do it.
Let it be understood that you perform
only for money.
Be certain to have elaborate clothes
made especially for the summer cutting.
Fine feathers necessarily make fine
birds,-so some folk think.
Feel that because nobody knows
you it matter little what you do. Be
the big guy while out for the summer,
You may not live to have another
chance.
Don't attempt to take with yon
everything you would have at home
All your wardrobe and plenty of nerve
will DO for two weeks vacation.
Don't allow all who know you to eX-
pect you to write to them. Eat heart
ily, and then lie in the shade until the
next meal is announced. Don't kin
yourself with walks or rides. Don't
admire the beauty of nature.
Borrow steamer trunk from some
acquaintance who has travelled
trunk that is well plastered with Eu-
ropean hotel signs, so that the natives
where you are staying may think you
have been abroad.

CHAPTER K.

When they came out of the school
room into the open air the moon
light was streaming over the pastoral
scene, lighting up the crowd of
people still talking of the wonderful
Dream of Eugene Aram," as they
made their way through the string of
carriages.
Faradeane paused to say good
night; but Aunt Amelia would not
offer her hand.
My dear Mr.. Faradeane!" she ex-
claimed, surely you would not leave
us, BERTHE, the squire expects you
back to smoke a cigar with him; do,
do persuade him to come with you.
Really, l feel that I cannot lose you
yet, Mr. Faradeane."
Faradeane hesitated; but BERTHE,
eager to snatch a few more minutes
of his idol society, pressed his arm.
Come on" he said. The squire
will be pleased, I know"
Olivia stood silent, her eyes fixed
dreamily on the moonlit scene.
Must we go back in those stuffy
carriages, she said in a low voice.
Can we not walk. aunt?''
Certainly you may" replied Miss
Amelia. But l think l will ride;
these night dews are rather treach-
erous, I'm sure" and she dropped her
head on her shoulder, and simpered.

BARLEY Bradstone's face would
have supplied a fine study for a
painter of character, but he was
helpless; and with a stified oath
gave her his arm.
The two Penstone girls, of course,
drew back, and declined with distinct
emphasis the mere idea of riding
"All right, them said auntie. Come
on" and the young people set out.
Annie and Mary, in their eager
ness to vent their amazement and
pent-up enthusiasm, caught him
timidly but effectually by either arm,
and began at once:
"Oh, Lord Granville, did you
now. did you ever hear anything
like it? Wasn't it simply wonder
ful?' ETC., and poor BERTHE, closely
arrested, saw his goddess walk on
with Faradeane.
He did not offer his arm, and
they went on in silence for some min
utes.
Any attempt to describe the varied
emotions which swept through
Olivia's sensitive heart would be i'm
possible.
The spell of his voice was on her
still The fascination of his dark,
handsome face still held her IN

ner party waiting was little short of
criminal.
That was before Carrick married
and long before there was a Carrick.
Jr Now he has his own private
house up on Washington Heights.
He may think the same way now,
but he is too wise a man or too mucn
in love with his wife to say it out
loud
Something like this explains why
he and Mrs. Carrick were distressfully
late when they dined at the house OF
the Kensingtons last week. 1t could
not be otherwise when 1t took them
half an hour to get away from their
home.
First Mrs. Carrick kissed the baby
this time really to be the last
asleep in his crib. Then she went
back and kissed him again. She now
ascertained that the back and cellar
doors were locked and all the win.
dows He had carefully attended to
this matter, but she was afraid one
might have been missed. Then she
tried all the gas jets with lighted
matches to make sure the gas was not
escaping anywhere, and warned the
maid about the stopcocks on the gas
stove She explained to Bridget the
use of the fire alarm, burglar alarm
and the policeman's whistle. The
cat appearing just then, received his
belated supper, the dog was stationed
on guard in the front room, and a
newspaper wrapped around the ca
nary's cage.
This much accomplished she said
she thought she was ready. She
locked the inside door and tried that.
Then she unlocked the outside door
in order to try the inside door again
to make perfectly sure. Then she
locked the outside door once more
and they finally got start.
When they had gone two blocks
and Carrick had begun to congratu-
late himself that they really were en-
route at last, she came to a sudden
standstill

for just a second. 1 forgot to tell
Bridget not to wake baby unless he
wakes himself. New York Press.

LADY OXFORD ANNOYED.

Lady Oxford has been much an
noyed by the persistent rumors in
London society papers, which state
that she intends to present her daugh-
ter, Lady Dorothy Walpole, this sea-
son. Lady Dorothy ds barely IL, and
her mother wishes her to continue
her education for at least two more
years. Moreover, she considers II
a pity to introduce a girl when she is
much under 20, and is of the opinion
that she should not marry until she
is within measurable distance of i've
and twenty. On this side of the Allan
tic. the American woman cannot be
said to excel in sport, but Lady Or
ford is among the exceptions who
prove the rule. She is one of the
most accomplished anglers in Eng
land and is to be found each fishing
season on the bank of some river
making record catches" She is
invariably accompanied by Lady
Dorothy Walpole, who is equally en-
thusiastic over the sport. Motoring
is also one of Lady Dorothy's pet
pastimes, and she has the distinction
of being the youngest woman who
holds an official certificate in the art
of the chauffeur. Lady Oxford, like
most American women, believes in
allowing girl plenty of scope to
develop her own individuality, and,
therefore encourages all her daugh-
ter's fads.

EFT WAS FOR HER SAKE
~ CHARLES CARVICE

AS she put her hand upon it he
felt that she was trembling. and
looked at her with an ugly red glow
ing On his face.
This confounded business has
frightened you." he said, almost
loud enough for Faradeane to hear.
I'm my opinion, that kind of thing
isn't fit for mixed audience"
4 am not frightened, thanks" said
Olivia, coldly. d.
"You are trembling, them" he said,
with barely suppressed fury.
Olivia looked at him very much as
Lord Garfield had looked and taking
her hand from his arm turned to
Miss Amelia. Are you ready, aunt p
she said, and awited until she came
up to her.
BARLEY Bradstone bit his lip at
this distinct rebuke, and was forced
to walk down the room alone.
AS he approached the door, cha
fing with envy and modification, a
lad entered, and, looking round, came
up to him with a telegram.
whats this?" demanded BARLEY
Bradstone, roughly.
"A telegram, sir" the lad said.
"The postmaster said was to bring
it here, as it might be important"
He is a fool" said Barley Brad
stone, roughly.
"a telegram, sir" the lad said.
1.-The postmaster said was to bring
it here, as it might be Important
HE is a fool" said BARLEY Brad
stone. Besides, a telegram at this
time!"
Il had to ride over with it from
Wainford, sir" said the lad, shyly;
"and l didn't like to come in Till the
entertainment was over"
BARLEY Bradstone opened the en-
velope, scowling, and read the tele-
gram II ran thus:
Have got all you wanted. The
bird is Melted.
Movie"
He crushed it in his hand, and
looked furtively round as if he al
most suspected that the rest of the
party knew its purport; then this
face cleared, and he glanced at
Olivia with an ugly smile of sinister
significance.
You snub me, do you, my LADY,"
he said, under his breath. you'll
change your tone presently, I fancy"
And he went into the open air
mumbling the words of the tele-
gram.
Movies fool TO send such a
WIRE he said, wiping the perspira-
ton from his forehead. But he's
right The bird is netted!"

There is no struggle to land him,

for the Indian hunts for game, and not
for sport.
An Indian seldom misses his f1sb
when he throws the gig. And his mo-
ton is so perfect and his balance so
even that there is scarcely tremor in
the boat, while the amateur is more
likely to not only miss his fish two
feet. but stand on his head in the wa
ter besides.

INDIANS CAPTURE BIG FISH.
Spurn the Use of Rod and Reel, But
Land Some Big Fish.


The mountain streams of Indian
territory, which abound in game fish,
prinipally black bass, have been as
clear as crystal of late, and the Indians
have had great sport gigging them.
In a mountain stream in the terri
tory when the water is clear the bot
tom can be seen through six feet OF
water, and this makes gigging a great
sport for the Indians. They are ex-
perts with the canoe and the gig, and
spurn the finest fishing tackl e in the
way of rod and reel, as it is too slow
sport for them.
1t is interesting to watch couple of
Indians gig fish. With the long, slen-
der reed, tipped and barbed with steel,
one Indian leans over the prov of the
canoe while the other with his paddle
gently and noiselessly lets the canoe
slide up to the big rocks and around
logs in deep water where the bass and
catfish lie. The Indian carries his gig
uplifted and ready tn strike at any
time.
With his face net six inches above
the water, his keen eyes scan the bot
tom, and he will locate bass or cat
fish lying partly under rock or log
that would never be seen by the aver
age fisherman. The stroke of the dex.
tous arm is like lightning, and in a

Cotton Letter.

H (By private wire to Loveman & Co.,, 36
 Commerce Street)
 New Orleans, Aug. 7.--The market could not stand up under the pressure cotton at Houston amounted to S.l22 bales, while BIO bales were received at Galveston (New cotton.)
 Liverpool came better than expected but weak-ended before the close. The weather map was favorable by com parison with the day before and the weekly weather report did not come up to bullish expectations. Hence after ruling fairly steady early in the day, when December sold as high as 1902. the market gradually yielded to the bearish influences mentioned, and final ly, as a result of forced liquidation on the part of longs who had bought ear Her around the top level, prices sank as low as 9.S6 for December. At this level, not a few shorts were disposed to take profits, in consequence of which slightly steadier tone developed, pre- vailing until the close. Spots were reported easier, due to freer offerings of new cotton from Texas points.
 We placed ourselves on record to- day as being of the opinion that De- cember cotton would, eventually, sell as low as 9 cents Our reason for holding such an opinion is that pres ent crop prospects undoubtedly point to a yield of at least 500.000 bales for the coming season. Spot demand Is noticeab1y lacking, and the pressure of actual cotton on the market naturally has a depressing effect on the value of futures, which are still selling at a level that is unattractive to the out side public. The movement during the next two or three months promises to be on a scale sufficiently large to meet any demand that may spring up from the mills and at the same time to in- sure an increase in the visible supply, the inevitable result of which will be to drag prices down to level where the speculator can safely take hold. We do not believe that the specula- tive public will evince any great de- sire to buy cotton until prices reach the neighborhood of cents. Conse- quently, we look for a much lower level of values in the long run and would not hesitate to sell short when ever the developments of any bullish influences causes temporary strength.
 Yours truly,
 Loveman & Go.

peoted, closing at q decline of about 10 points, and while spoto were only lowered points, 1t was noted that spinners appeared to be- indifferent. having refrained from buying liberal Iy even at the concessions offered. As to weather developments over night. which are usually known be- fore opening of market. no radical departure had taken place, aithougn
 showers were generally reported from
 nearly all sections of the belt. and
 heavy to excessive rains were local
 ized in Tennessee. South Carolina. OK
 lahoma and in the Indian Territory.
 The influential feature of the day,
 however. was the large arrival of new
 cotton at Houston, 2,068 out of total
 of 3.i22 bales, which would indicate
 free movement of new cotton in
 Texas during this month, perhaps 100.-
 900 bales against 75,000 received prior
 to September last year, most or
 which was from Texas.
 Explaining the steadiness of the Liv-
 erpool market today, private cables
 reported London and Continental shorts
 covering, but the opinion was express
 ed that a further decline was expect
 ed.
 advices reported but little rain in the South Atlantic States. the district Of Charleston remaining rainless, while
 the district of Savannah averaged but .02 and the Wilmington district only .o1 of an inch.
 As result of the more favorable week in the western section of the cotton region, public wires were re- ceived reporting distinct improve ment in the condition of the crop In Georgia and in the Carolinasl Having the support of such develop ments and the influence of sentiment | that was to come of same, shorts took | the bulls by he horns by forcing the | issue, although longs fought stubborn | 1y in early hours to sustain the mar ket. Noon weather reports were re- ceived from the interior, and while weather was partly cloudy to fair and threatening at some points, nc rain was reported except from Arkan- | sas and the Indian Territory.
 | This gave a promise for more fa- vorable weather map in morning not withstanding showers be the ofhcia
 forecast for all sections tonight or to- | morrow.
 | The first week of August having been passed without the usual August | complaints of excessive high tempera'
 ture. especially in the Southwest. has | been favorably commented upon as meaning much for the salvation Of tho | growing crop, and predictions of cents for winter months are now be | ing heard on all sides, and are but ar | echo of sentiment which is favorine the short side.
