ed through u doorway in Il wall of I'M
burned brick. and they found them
selves before the porch of Il white,
rambling house which stood i'll Il large
garden and was situated on the Dor
derS of the city.
Here the woman dismounted and
gave the mule to Nubian who was
waiting: then with Il quick movement
she unveiled herself and turned toward
them, as though to show her beauty.
Beautiful she was; of that there could
he no doubt. She was young also
perhaps twenty five; no more - and
very fair skinned for an eastern.
My poor house is for pilgrims and
merchants. not for famous knights, yet,

emily, scanning them out Of the corners

Goodwin. For what sum each day will
you give us board and a good room to

'Sirs, | repeat, this is but humble
place, scarce fit for knights like you,
but if you will honor it the charge is
so much
1--WE are satisfied" said Goodwin.
Il will settle with the porter. He
would cheat YOU said the woman.
Then followed wrangle five min
utes long between this curious, hand
some, still faced woman and the por
ter, who. after the eastern fashion,
dashed himself into Il frenzy over the
sum she offered and at length began to
call her by ill names. Presently in a
perfect foam of passion he said. or,
rather. spat out:
"NO wonder. Masouda the Spy. that
after hiring me to do your evl, work
you take the part Of these Christian
dogs against q true believer. you child
of Al-Je-bal,"
Instantly the woman seemed to stiff
en- like a snake about to strike.
"Who Is he:" she said coldly. DO
you mean the lord kills?" And
she looked at him-a terrible look.
At that glance all the anger seemed
to go out of the man.
Your pardon. Widow Masouda.'' he
said Il forgot that you are Chris

She gave him the money, adding in

Then the porter went, and it came
into Wulf's mind that their strange
hostess had powers not possessed by

watched him through the gate Masou-

Deafness Cannot se Cured

by local applications as thew cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an Infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachisn Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infsmed condition of the
mucous surfaces

THE MACS ON TRACK
RACE TO A FINISH.
Municipal Chase is Finished
Today.
NOTHING BUT VOTING REMAINS
Candidates Have Made Hot Campaign
and tho Voters at Polls viii Do the
Rest-Llvely Contest in Amesious
Comes to a Close.

The hottest campaign Americas has
known in quite a decade will end to-
day in the battle of ballots to be fought
out behind the city hall in the election
of mayor, three aldermen, city clerk,
two police commissioners and a new
city executive committee.
1t will be a goreless war but strenu-
Ously contested to the end.
The police commissioners and eXecu-
tive committeeman have easy sailing,
these offices having no salary list at
tached, but for all the other places there
will be heavy fighting.
Greatest interest centers in the may
orally race between Messrs e. A.
Hawkins and j. B. Fielder. Each candi-
date has strong backing and expresses
confidence of success at the polls today.
Each, however, knows it will be a close
race.
Friends of both aspirants, as those of
the other candidates, will work like
Trojans till the polls close.
The aldermanic candidates, Messrs.
Elmo Poole, I. M. Furlow, 7. B. West
brook, T. f. Mitchell and c. j. Clark,
are working like fremen at a cOnf1a-
grafton, as are Messrs 7. n. Hawkes.
and E. j. McMath, who are candidates
for the office of city clerk.
The polls will open at o'clock and
being the same as in the state election
held at the courthouse.

If the other candidates sprinting for

would be happy indeed. These gentle
men will be reelected police commits
sioners for the full term of four years,
and without opposition. Already they
have rendered long service upon the
police board, and it is a subject of gen

scented to serve again, as the position is
wholly an honorary one, The police
commission has entire supervision of
the police department., thus eliminating
it from politics and adding greatly to
its general efficiency.

AGAIN IT SCARS TO
APPOINT IN AZURE,
Cotton Took Another Bound
Skyward.
ANYTHING GOOD BRINGING DIME
Bureau and Ginners Reports Puts
Money In Pockets of the Farmer.
Fine Cotton Is Worth Ten and
Quarter Cents in Americus.

Again by leaps and bounds the cot
ton market stacked up beautifully yes
terday under the influence of news of
disaster from the Gulf section and very
bullish bureau reports. Ten cents was
reached and passed before the bales
could be sampled and sold.
The even dime has been the goal for
month past, but so rapidly did the
market rise that the farmer could not
get off there and the value of his cotton
bale whirled higher.
Ten and a quarter cents was paid for
very fine cotton here.
Not a great deal went at that phe-
nomenal figure, but 10 cents and 10 Is
was freely offered.
This is an advance of one and a half cts.
or $3.50 per bale, within week, as only
few days ago fine cotton sold 10 Amer
icus at 8 "a cents. Then the farmer
who could get nine cents for cotton was
fortunate indeed, and let it go quickly.
But not so now; even at 10 cents
many hesitate, hoping for II IL cents,
which may or may not come.
The continued bulge in values yes
terday was the result of the ginners
report, which showed 200, 900 bales less
ginned to date than on October LIST last
year. The monthly Government report
showed conditions 71.6 percent as
against ILL., percent last year.
A present the bovine element has
the market and may put it up higher.
