~The telegram was false. Edwin is

not in Corsica? Edwin is safe? Madre di bio, thank thee!" Marina's voice rings with hope that produces a su- preme joy in Cipriano's occult mind.
 This lady upon whom he has set his feryid heart, is courage personitied as regards her own safety, but the great love she bears this Englishman makes her timid for him. 'Tis Danella's plan to use for It's own destruction this gen erous and mighty love.

oraanize 10 Determine Action.

Bearish influences in the different departments of the speculative, buy ing and consuming cotton world are, as usual, getting busy to hammer down the price of cotton for both near and fall months delivery. There are two arguments now being used to de press the price of cotton; the first
 that the consumption of manufactured goods is not satisfactory, owing to continued trade depression in this country: second, that the prospects for large yield of cotton this year is good in practically all sections of the cotton belt, except Oklahoma. Cp- on these two propositions the fail months are being hammered, and Oc- tober deliveries are now around 92O, while December futures are quoted al about cents by the New York Cotton Exchange All cotton sold by export CTS for delivery in these months are based on New York quotations, plus whatever premium the contract be tween the exporter and the spinner is agreed on. If several million bales are sold on the basis of these figures every effort will be made 10 hold down prices until these contracts are liqui- dated. If the growers begin to rush their cotton 10 market as usual iH September and October it will be i'm possible to stem the disastrous tide of these depTossiye influences. If the farmers are not well organized and secure the cooperative strength of the banking and business interests of the South they will have a hard struggle ahead 10 maintain fair prices. Lint cotton is worth more than its fair market price today, and it will be worth much more in October than the present future quotations for that month indicate There must be some
 thing done aside from the mere work of organization That is, of course, the first step. provided organization is based on sound business punci- ples. The business end of marketing cotton is the most vital and impoC
 tant part of the cotton industry to farmers. If the crop is mol sold al q profit there is but little satisfaction in the industry. Cotton Journal

BUILDING OF A WITlClSM.
Point of Joke the Same Though
 Under Changed Conditions.

The Bohemian had an article enti- tied, How a Joke Is Made" In it Marshal! P Wilder, the well known humorist, cites this story as an illus tration of one method. Here is a story with a joke in it about Labou- ehere, the genial editor of London Truth. When he was standing for the borough of Northampton for the English parliament little girl came up to her father and said: Papa who made MT. Labouchere? Why, Provi dence, my dear, answered the some what astonished parent. And what for, papa?' inquiries the child. Now that isn't bad joke. It was natural, anyway But listen to one of mine. which really has the same point, though it is brought out in different way. A child and her mother are on the cars, Opposite them sits young man dressed in the height of fashion. Says the child: Mamma, what is that" and, as she asks the question, she points to the young man opposite. Hush my dear, answers the mother. But, mother, l want to know To quiet the ch4.d the mother whispers in her ear: He is what we call dude, dear The child persists as usual in gaining some more information. And who made him. mammal Why, Providence, dear, of course replies the mother sotto voice, whereat the child exclaims: Oh, mother, doesn't Providence like to have fun some times?' You see. the stories are real ly alike, At all events, the point Is the same"

She would spring from the veranda

She would spring rom the Vefdnua and run over to the base of the tower and call up to the man whose face she sees outlined against the grillase of the upper window, through whose iron bars he is struggling to force his way.
 But Ciprianos strong hand clutches her white arm; he pulls her back into the seat and commands: Not until you've heard my words, which may save his life."
 His life? Tell mel"
 'I have explained you are not legal ly this mans spouse" Cipriano's voice is trembling with desire. Become mine! l had purposed in Nice to give you very cruel death for what you had to do with my brothers killing, but when 1 saw your beauties and knew that the little child l had once seen had grown into Venus, but no marble one, to myself I said 'Corpo di Baccho, tis in the blood of the Danel- las to love this woman. l am enamored of her as wildly as poor dead Musso. 'Tis medieval idea instead of slay- ing her I'll have revenge in winning her-against herself the wfe-also against the husband
 Not against Edwin. You have no | cause of hate against him. "Vendettas are caused by love as well as hate, He dares to call you wife. Each moment my eye rests upon you increases thy sweetness to me. You are Corsican-so am Tho for eigner should stand between us"
 Holy Virgin. you expect me to love you?" stammers the girl.
 To this he answers with Machiavel lian subtlety: "Of course not now, but that may come in time. At pres. ent you love Edwin, Because of this devoted love--tO save this gentleman you adore--you give yourself to me-"
 At his hideous mathematics the girl utters cry of horror.
 If you would save the life of this Englishman whom l should dispatch by my oath of the vendetta, at once gour kisses.
 Would Edwin wish to live, his wife untrue2 Monster Marina's face blazes with shame.
 "Oh, 10, not monster; simply a man who has gone crazy for thee. Understand. if you are mine, the man in that tower lives. Tonight on the vessel that is anchored here, I'll bear you away to some far distant isle of | Greece
 My husband would follow us for ever!"
 Not if he knew you were faithless! ! lis not their English way. A woman who is dishonored is no more to them than tainted orange
 "D,shonored in his eyes? Never," cries the girl. I'd sooner you killed him-seoner you killed me, much. I'm | in your power; I'm alone here. help less in your hands. Kill me. Let my darling go
 As Danella has clutched her, the old neck fastenings of the ancient gown i have given way; she plucks it's laces further apart over her dazzling bosom and begs; Bury your stiletto here, but spare my husband
 Her pose only makes her the more aluring to his devouring eyes.
 What, kill the being I adore," shudders Cipriano. T have no stiletto and have taken care no knife is near your desperate hands, my lady. Be sides, I'll never let you go. If you will not leave your husband as his wife, l leave him as his widow"
 Here, Enrico'' he calls.
 The young cavalier with the scar above his eyebrow comes onto the veranda and says: My uncle, l honor thee, you have decided to give this woman death?"

brothers death. his authority as your guardian passes to me"
 "Pish! was welded in Musso's very presence.e answers the girl, proudly, then cries: "I am Edwin Gerard An struthers wife, by the church and by my love"
 Iris a pity; you compel me to make you his widow
 "Edwin's widow?' At that awful word, Marina shudders and sinks over come into a chair.
 Listen to me," Cipriano's voice is deep with menace. yet soft with pas sion On the further cliff down the coast are quarries of dazzling hued green Orezza marble that is taken from this island to deck palaces"
 "Orezza marble, what has that to do with Edwin's life?' half scoffs the girl.
 But 1t may have something to do with his death.' observes Danella. For the blasting of the rock is used much dynamite. l have robbed the quarries and have mined the base of wonder turret with the explosive. In it are three men; one, old Tomasso. whose knife entered my brothers heart; the other, an American detec- tive who has placed his Yankee nose into this vendetta, unfortunately for himself. Emory is in that turret. You will give something for these mems lives2"
 For Emory and dear old Tomassoo Certainly anything in reason The lovely eyes are filled with strange alarm.
 "Ah, but 1t must not be in reason it must be in passion as exalted as my own-for you. When I direct my nephew, who is bound to me not only by ties of blood, but of gratitude. and who is inhamed against you all by his oath of vendetta for the murdered Musso, he will light the fuse leading to the mine, and puff-that tower, with every man who's in 1t, goes into the air!"
 Murderer, shudders Marina, who has listened astounded.
 An. you have sympathy for these poor fellows, That is we'll l shall love you more for your tender heart continues Cipriano softly.
 But the law!" half screams the lady.
 'Pah-in Corsica-in vendetta. Besides, the blown-up tower will be thought but another outrage of the rioting Lucchese. Oh, this is no worse than dagger thrusss or blows from bullets which always come in a blood feud, And in that mined turret," Ci- priano's voice is low but terrible, there is another man, who following the eyclamen flowers you dropped in the road and few more we added to lead him into that fatal tower"
 "Edwin!" Marina's limbs hardly up- hold her.
 The man you foolishly call hus- band The finger of the suave wooer points to the turrets upper floor.
 Then the game is on
 Her eyes following his gesture, a shuddering cry, low, broken, despair ing yet full of tenderest love, issues from the girls lips that have now be- come white as death itself: Edwin, my husband-my flowers brought you to this-following for love of me"
 He is caught like rat in my trap!" smiles the count.
 Not without warning. wrstchi"
