Montgomery, Ala. Oc 5--Tsresi-

Mr.. Seymour now has reports from

been destroyed aud In many cases the

Of the state that escaped maximum
injury Is the eastern section. and
some portions TO the north. where the
cotton was not knocked from the

has been 50 damp the seed have

In the southern section the trouble

mills and tarpentine Factories took
the labor 50 that the cotton could not
be picked. and as a result the storm

In some sections the conditions are
calamitous" said Mr. Seymour. Il

You poor deserted dear" she sympathized
laughingly.
He started to say something, but two soft, cling
ing arms were about his neck, and velvety cheek
rested against his own; $3.50 he kissed her instead
She sighed happily and laid aside her wraps
II simply couldn't get here any sooner she
explained poutngly as she glanced into his accusing
eyes Il was out with Nell Blakesley in her big
touring car, and it broke down and we had to
send for man to repair it; So"
He didn't hear the rest he was staring into her
eyes, steadily inquiringly. Truth shone triumphant
there; he could only believe her. Yet-yet, that
other thing! She hadn't told him the truth! In her
face, at last, he read uneasness he continued to
stare, and for moment there was silence
Whats the matter, Van! she inquired solicit
tously &C. Don't you feel well?''
He pulled himself together with start, and for
time they chatted OF inconsequental things as she
were going to call on Mrs. Blackjack tomorrow"
She looked up quickly. "Oh, no. she replied
II was with ,, her all IL Jay yesterday shopping
Van Stafford rose suddenly, stood g1aring down at
her for an instant then turning abruptly left the
house. Involuntarily she had started up, then she
sat down again and wept softly over her coffee.
Van Stafford seemed to have very definite purpose,
for when he reached the club he went straight to
telephone and called Miss Blakesley over the wire
my wife said something about something
about" he stammered lamely-" something about
calling on you tomorrow Will you be inn"
Yes, and III be SO glad to see her" came the
here in the house, and really 1 was beginning to
think all my friends had deserted me-
"Cooped up in the housed, Mr.. Stafford
peated. Are you ILL.,"
Il have been" came the reply, "Pm better now,
but haven't been out of the house in a week.
Indeed" remarked van Stafford sympathetically.
I'm awfully sorry assure you. Then you haven't
tried your-your big touring carr
why. haven't any new touring car" said Miss
Blakesley. Il haven't any sort of car Where did
you get that idea?''
Van Stafford didn't answer her Rudev ENOUGH he
hung up the telephone and left the club with face
like marble When finally he stopped walking he
was opposite his own house. For minute he stood
looking at it much if he had never it before,
then turned and went back to the club. There
something of fright of horror even, in his white
face when he entered.
AS Stafford did not go to bed that night it
not surprising that his wife should find him in
the breakfast when she down about
eight o'clock She smiled. He stared at her after
a curt Good morning.! Then came an ominous
silence. She finished her breakfast rose, and left
the house without word He watched her from
a window until she disappeared around the corner
just four doors below; then, by fears, sus
picions, hideous possibilities, he ran after her.
She had not been out of his sight more than half
a minute when he reached the corner; yet now-now
