NEW YORK COTTON, May 21.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of 2@5
points in response to higher cables and good
spot sales in the English market. Following the
call the market eased off under a renewal Of
liquidation and bear pressure inspired by favor
able REPORTS and renewed rumors that the big
bulls had nquidated their holdings. Trading
was moderately active. There was a good deal
of covering around 1.13c for July, or about 3@4
points net lower, but the market showed little
rallying power and in the middle Of the morning
was at practically the lowest.

The declining tendency of prices was checked
by covering late in the forenoon but the tone
Of the market remained barely steady and there
was no rally Of consequence, the general list
showing a net loss of SOC points at midday.

CHAPTER I

i l.
Valerius Galbraith stood by one Of
the open windows in the drawing room
of an old-fashioned red brick house IN
Hexton road, St Johns Wood, sur
rounded by its own grounds and screened
from the thoroughfare by high, bullying,
ivy-topped wall.
Rather above the middle size and
slight in figure, we'll made and grace
full in his movements, he was a man
whose presence gave the impression Of
elegance and distinction His fair and
rather horid complexion, wavy auburn
hair, broad forehead, prominent blue
eyes, his chin, and long light mustache
gave him claims TO be considered decid-
edly handsome Though close upon
forty years he scarcely looked thirty, so
free was his face from lines or wrinkles,
so perceptible the desire for pleasure his
face betrayed so bright his outlook upon
life.
The graver cares and deeper sorrows
of existence, if ever known to him, had
left no trace behind. His freshness of
spirit and mental youthfulness were con-
tagious.
Independent if not wealthy, lord of
himself, without ties or responsibilities,
he had Travelled through every country
of Europe. obtaining the experiences,
realizing the pleasures which foreign
scenes afforded
And now on the eve of a journey
to the East-the land of color, luxury
and romance, which had ever possessed
"a fascination for his impressionable tenn
perament-he had come to say farewell
to the friend and companion of his boy
hood, to her whom he had loved, whom
now he loved, who with her daughter
were his sole relatives.
AS he gazed absently across the gar
den with its great plots and its flower
beds crowded with early chrysanthe-
NUNS, he thought of his past-that idle,
profitless, pleasant past. which might yet

be changed, if but the light and guild
ance of the woman he loved were his.
But that he dared not hope, would ever
be, no matter how he longed.
And suddenly through his day dream
came the sound of the soft rustic of a
dress, and he turned quickly to meet his
hostess as she entered with smiling
face and outstretched hands.
will you forgive me?" she said, and
her gentle voice seemed to soothe the
troubled current of his mind.
Certainly; l know l am unfashion-
ably punctual," he replied.
Il hope you don't say that in re-
proach," remarked Olive Dumbarton
with relatives. The fact is, / have been
so busy correcting proofsheets that had

Il congratulate you"
"Ah, if you only knew how tiresome
and stupid the book seems tremble
when I think what the critics will say"
'You have no cause to fear. But you
are overweight, for, as usual, l dare
say you have been working too hard. "
THAT'S what DR.. Quave, my friend
and neighbor, says, but then my work
is the one thing in the world which
gives me pleasure, and" she added sadly,
with the exception of Veronica, the only
object for which live"
Her daughter, girl of seventeen, en-
tered the room.
"You grow bigger every time I see
you," said Valerius, when by an effort
he had recovered himself and had shaken
hands with the girl.
"And more like mother?" she queried.
Eyes" he answered, rather from de-
sire to please her than from a sense OF
conviction. ''The fact is, Olive" he
added, you will have to present her as
your sister, for no one will believe she
is your daughter"
Il prefer being her daughter" re-
marked Veronica, laughingly.
Then, a servant appearing at the door,
Mrs. Dumbarton said:
Take me in to dinner, Valerius."
''And I will bring up the rear, added
Veronica, merrily.

while Veronica looked from one to the
other inquiringly.
''My sole reason for referring to the

marked, twas to point moral, which is,

of earnestness: You have talent, though
in what direction it lies 1 can't say. You
have seen the world. You have rich

''At my age?"
'Now is the time when your gifts are

"No; but you were spoilt by having
from the first more money than you
needed"
You are wrong. 1t was not that
which spoiled me-" he answered, mean
ing which she could not mistake under
lying his words.
And once more a silence fell upon the
table, while Galbraith emptied his glass,
and faint color crept into Olive Dunn
barton's face.
Presently she arose, saying:
would you not rather smoke your
cigarette with us in the drawing-room
than sit here alone?'
Very much he responded quietly,
and he arose likewise.

We have 2SO acres with Copper ore sticking
out on every claim, and a 10 foot shaft has
been sunk on Copper lodes on each claim.
All this shows the presence of an enormous
Copper deposit. In short, beyond the possibfl-
ity of doubt, there is Copper ore on the Com
pany's land sufficient to keep an enormous
plant running for generations to come. We do
not believe there is any such showing of Cop
per as this property and this district exhibit
anywhere else on the American continent.
The great United Verde, the mine of Senator
CLARK, is some n miles North of us and in the
same range; its main workings consist of only
40 acres; 1t did not begin TO have the surface
showing our property has; and it is turning
out over $4,000, 900 year.
More than that-Copper Greek, the greatest
unfailing water supply in the district, runs
through our property for 1900 feet, and as
water is absolutely essential, its value cannot
be estimated.
We offer you a ground-foor proposition.
With the ore actually exposed we can run
concentration of 800 tons capacity, as quickly
as it can be erected, for an indefinite period.
Unless every geological sign fails, within two
years, with ample capital, We should be min
Ing ore enough to supply 5000 ton concen-

These were selected samples, and we
frank to say that such ore exists in the
deep workings of copper mines. On the prop
erty adjoining, however, on a vein which IS
traceable in ours, at a depth of 81 feet, ore
was taken out which cannot be distinguished
from the ore at the 400 and 500 feet levels in

Spaniards and the Indians were known to
mine the metal while there is evidence that
prehistoric knew how to utilize Copper.
and in their crude way mined and snelted it.
To-day this territory is dotted here and there
with working mines which produce millions
upon millions of dollars worth of Copper, and
in many places prospecting has revealed many
more veins which are still undeveloped. At
some points the ore crops out at the roots OF
the grass, widening out as it goes downward.
