CHAPTER ".

ly folded on the chair beside her BED, her
end of the room in perfect order. But
at Brides end-just MS she removed her
thinga so they lay--the white gown in
4 heap on the floor, the bronze shoes far
apart, everything in disorder, and Bride
herself in the ARREST garb placidly brush
ing her hair and m~unching toffee at the
same time. How could one talk of fnsci-
mating inelitibles to a big, overgrown baby
with q lump Of toffee in her check She
was surprised to see her sister, but she
smiled very affectionately and offered her
some Of the sweetmeat.
Its q little burnt, but It does o taste
much she said. II say, Moyra"-the
color rising in her face-"don't you think
Bcrtram is an awfully brave man?n
1--WE have his word for it" Moyra an
swered, with 4 little bitterness and then,
with an inward prayer, she plunged into
the subject on her mind and scolded Bride
very gently for having admitted Bertram
by the school room window.
..Ynn see. dearest. You are grown up
now and must behave like q woman"
Brides face grew pink her lips pouted
like an injured child's.
aI-I didn't mean anything. | hate be-
ING grown up! / didn't want to be. And
I like Bertram. He's clever, but he
doesn't worry me, as the curates do. or
tease as Terry does, It's beastly to be
grown up! It's nothing but You mustn't,
you mustn't, and all the nice things aren't
proper. I wish I was Lulu!"
Moyra consoled her as sympathetically
as she could. She pictured the delights
81 the coming-out ball. Of theaters and
afternoon teas, but Brides spirits did not
revive to their customary cheerfulness.
"rd rather go skating with the boys
and make messes In the school room y
she sighed. but | will really try to re-
member I'm grown up, Moyra. Mr..
Charters wants to paint my portrait as
Desdemona, he says Bride continued,
looking al hdr dim reelection In the glass
with newly awakened interest. "He-he
says he's been looking for his ideal Des-
demona for years.
"And he thinks he has found her in
you?s Moyra rose. "Yes-we will have
your portrait painted some day. dearest,
but not by Bertram. I think. He is only
an amateur. / must 90 now. Good night
my darling! Sleep wellp-and she took
the slender young form in her arms with
. closeness of embrace that only family
Swallowed the intensity Of her love.
She had recovered her customary Sc
renity when morning came. and at dinner
time she was delighted by the news
brought home by the twins that Bertram
had gone away.
HE said he had been summoned to
London" Gerry said. Isn't 1t funny
how he goes away so suddenly?'
Bride received the news so ~conce
edly that Moyra's heart was ~gladdened,

Although New Works new law making
inidelity a crime has been in operation

Spencer, Nov. 30.-Considerable
interest prevailed in this place to-
day over the announcement that q
rich quality Of gold ore has been
discovered in the heart Of the town,
where the Southern Railway Com
pany Is sinking an artesian we'll.
The we'll has been sunk about 800
feet through solid granite, and while
the ore was noticed several days ago
it had not been examined until this
week. Postmaster J. ID. Dorsett is
in possession Of q quantity of the
ore, which he says has been tested
by q mining expert and pronounced
rich with the yellow metal. The
discovery was made on the right of
the Southern Railway, and it is not
known what will be done to develop
the vein.

The railway rate hearing was in
progress In Raleigh last week but
Col. A. B. Andrews. vice president
Of the Southern, was not called as
witness, though he was Ia the city
during the hearing before the Stand
ing Master. Before the rate bearing
began the News and Observer stated
that Col. Andrews should be put
upon the stand, bat during the hear
log the Observer said not o word
about putting him on the stand. II
has been limited that If Col. Andrews
was called as Q witness he might tell
lust how much money the Southern
had contributed to the Democratic
ca m paign fund, on the condition
that there was TO be no railroad
rate legislation, and that 1t was ais
feared that he might tell how many
Democratic politicians held passes
snd had received special favors al
the hands Of that road. Col. An
drews was in the city and some one
should now explain why he was moi
called as q witness In the rate hear
ing case.

Worlds Demand for Cotton.
New York Tribune.l

New York Tribune.
Figures relating to the consump-
ton of cotton by the mills Of Europe
and America compiled in Manches
ter and forwarded by the United
States Consul in that city to Wash
ington, indicate that during the year
ended August 81, 1907, nearly Is,
100000 bales were used. OF this
amount the United States produced
11,668,757 bales. The rest came
from East India, Egypt and other
sources. The outside production was
apparently not far from $500, coo
bales, or about one fifth of the total
supply, and less than one-third Of
Europe's consumption. Possibly the
returns are not so full as they might
be, but they offer no immediate
menace to the ascendancy which the
United States has for generations en-
joyed. Promising eff ,rts have been
made in the West Indies and Africa
to raise cotton. AS yet, however,
they have had little influence OF
com ercial statistics.
The Uaited States consumes more
raw cotton than any other country
in the world. At the present time
ten bales are used in this country t.
every seven used in England. 0
the other hand, England has in Op-
GRAFTON about twice as many spindles
as the United States. In the return.
here quoted England is credited with
nearly 100000 spindles and the
United States with only q few mors
than 26,O0O.OO0. This disparity Il
easily accounted for. The average
fneness of the yarn spun in England
exceeds that of the American pro-
duct. A large proportion of the
new mills erected in the United
States in the last ten or fifteen year,
have manufactured rather heavy
goods, and heavy cloth demand
coarse cloth thread.
