It would be hard to get at Joe's frs

 color and fine detail, a tale of years, ir the opening and shutting of door. Sc with Joseph in the brief space of the
 lady's approach. And with him, as with the sleeper, it must have been in fact it was-in his recollections later . blur of emotion.
 He had little knowledge of the mil linery arts, and he needed none to see the harmony-harmony like that of the day he had discovered little while ago. Her dress and hat and gloves and parasol showed pale lavender over tint like that which he had seen over spreading the western slope. (After- ward he discovered that the gloves she wore that day were gray and that her hat was for the most part white.) The charm of fabric and tint belonging to what she wore was no shame to her. not being of primal importance beyond herself. It was but the expression of her daintiness and the adjunct of it. She was tall, but if Joe could have spoken or thought of her as slender he would have been capable of calling her lips "red," in which case he would not have been Joe and would have been as far from the truth as her lips were from red or as her supreme deli cateness was from mere slenderness.
 She was to pass him-so he thought and as she drew nearer his breath came faster. -.

 Was this the fay of whom the voice had warned him? With that. there be- fell him the mystery of last night. He did not remember, but it was as if he lived again dimly the highest hour of happiness in life thousand years ago; perfume and music, roses, night ingales and plucked harpstrings. Yes, something wonderful was happening to him.
 She had stopped directly in front of him-stopped and stood looking at him with her clear eyes. He did not lift his own to hers. He had long expert ence of the averted gaze of women, but 1t was not only that. A great shyness beset him. He had risen and removed bis hat. trying Intellectually not to clear his throat, his every day sense urging upon him that she was stran- ger in Canaan who had lost her way the preposterousness of any ones losing the way in Canaan not just now ap- pealing to his every day sense.
 "Can Lean T'- he stammered, mlserably, meaning to finish | with direct you." or show you the way"
 Then he looked at her again and saw | what seemed to him the strangest sight of his life. The lady's eyes had filled with tears-filled and overfilled.
 ''fll sit here on the log with you," she said. And her voice was the voice which he had heard saying: "Remem- Der! Across Main street bridge at noon.

 You don't need to dust it.' she went ,n tremulously. And even then he did lot know who she was.

COTTON MARKET
 IS WEAKER AGAIN Failure of Expected FroStS
 Causes the Decline INFLUENCES ARE BEARlSH
Continued Good Weather In the Cotton Region and Anticipation of Bear ish Actions By the Spin
 ners Weaken Prices.

New York, September 26.-The cotton market lost most of it's advance today ow- Ing to the failure of frost to appear in any locality where damage to cotton was probable, and liquidation by yesterdays buyers. The close was steady at a net decline of 3 to II points. Sales for the day were estimated at 275,00O bales.
 The opening was steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 4 points. and dur ing the first few minutes prices were about to 6 ponts net higher on the ac- tive months. owing to higher prices from Liverpool than expected, and continued reports of firmness in the southern spot markets, which were said to be selling well above a parity with futures. But the better weather in the belt caused good deal of pressure, which was increased by a renewal of bearish operations for the account of local professional and Wall street. Reports from Fall River that spin ners were not in the market at the cur rent level, and bearish interpretation of the developments at the spinners conven- tion at Charlotte yesterday. were among the bearish factors. The low level was reached in the late session. and the close was only point or two up from the bot tom. Southern spot markets, as officially reported. were 1sc higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, 32. .i95 bales, against 23105 last week and S6,63S last year. For the week. 220,00 bales, against 151,S75 last week and 278, 467 last year. Yes terday's receipts at New Orleans. 123l, against 5SO1 last year, and at Houston. SS73, against 19,494 last year.

MARKET VIEWS ARE MIXED
Pacific Railroad and Granger Stocks Felt the Downward Pressure and Others Were Firm But Reav-
 fer, With Close Steady.

New York, September 26.-The de- clining tendency of prices of stocks to- day was more marked than yesterday, alth ough there was lit@le change In the character of the market from it's dullness and narrow professionalism The incidents most harped upon were the poor reception given to the an nouncement of subscription privileges on New York, New Haven and Hart ford stock and the approach of the Oc- tober 1 settlements in the money mar ket. The low temperature in the west and the news that the head of the Pacific system had undergone an oper- alton also were employed by the bears with some effect In their attack on prices.
 Aggressive operations by bear party were manifest in the dealings, and common report attributed the lead CT of the movement to such indentical large operations on that side of the market through the prolonged decline in the earlier part of the year. Pres sure centered against the Pacifics and grangers. and their association were some heavy offerings of United States t'bttl. IIdl SlOCh ana lnb cOpDeTS were compara lively firm but heavier. New York New Haven and Hartford made further decline to 1401A a figure lower than has been touched for many years.
 The proposed new stock issue proves larger than was anticipated and the issue price at 125 compares with an expectation that the offer would be at 150 as was the preceding issue The incident tHa sion for mI1Cl discussion bearing on the rapid re- cent expansion of capital liabilities by some of the railroad companies noted for long standing conservatism and on the question of ability to maintain diyfdend returns on the new capital. The fall in the stock dashed the new ly growing confidence in the better nent of the amount succession. On the other hand, news served to con- firm this feeling of confidence.
 The news bearing on the market was decidedly mixed in complexion through

It was reported that sales have been effected to foreigners of the Union Pacific convertible bonds since the dissolution of the underwriting syndicate and also of the New York city.41 per cent bonds. The strength shown by these issues in the last few days has been a marked feature of the market. Such a development would help to explain the violence of the de- cline in foreign exchange which was extended today.
 Large offerings of grain and cotton bills are appearing in the foreign eX- change market and is said by foreign bankers that London shows more favor to American finance bills. The local money marked showed symptoms of the refrain October settlements. Esti- mates of the amount of disbursements to be made here indicate dividend and interest payments of s140,000,000. There is besides, the payment of an install ment of $11.625,OO0 of subscription for Northern Pacific stock payable on Tues day The rise in the call loan rate 10 per cent was the reflection of these coming needs. Time loans were unruffed.
