The little man touched Small on the
arm and whispered to him.
"Mr. Langford," said Small, in a
weighty voice. you travel a great
deal, believe"
Il do"

terious infection.

Yes. Now, Mr.. Langford, l should
like you to tell me about how many
cattle you range-in round numbers ?''
About 5000 head"
Yes. Now, Mr.. Langford, you who
count your cattle by the thousands,
on your own sworn word you have
been out OF the country year. Don't
you think you are asking this Jury to
swallow a pretty big mouthful when
you ask them to believe that you could

rather an odd creature and so can
tankerous that we dubbed him the

Gordon called Jim Munson.
What is your name?"
Gosh"
The question was unexpected. Was
there any one in the county who did
not know Jim Munson? And Dick Cor
don of all people! Then he renem-
bered that the boss had been asked
the same question, so it must lie all
right. But the ways of the court
were surely mysterious and of(Iimes

CHAPTER XV.-Contlnued

There were others who did not
know the little man. He hailed from
the southern part Of the state. But
Gordon knew him. He knew he was
fttted against one of the sharpest,
shrewdest men of his day.
Gentlemen, l think We are ready"
said the judge. and the game was on
again.
The state called Paul Langford, its
principal witness in default of Will
liston.
Your name, place of residence and
business?" asked the counsel for the
state
Paul Langford. l reside in Kemah
county and own and operate a cattle
ranch"
After Langford had clearly de-
scribed and identified the animal in
question, Gordon continued:
Mr.. Langford, when did you first
miss this steer?"
"On the 18th day of July last"
How did you happen to miss this
steer?"
My attention was called to the fact
that an animal answering this de.
scription and bearing my brand had
been seen under suspicious detention. "
Prior to information thus received,
you we're not aware this creature had
either strayed away or been stolen ?"
Il was not?"
Who gave you this information,
Mr.. Langford?"
George Williston OF the Lazy g."
Now you may tell the jury in what
words Williston told you about the
steer he saw"
This, OF course, was objected to and
the objection was sustained by the
court, as Gordon knew it would be-
He only wanted the jury to remember
that Williston could have told a dam
aging story had he been here, and also
to remember how mysteriously this
same Williston had disappeared. He
could not have Williston or Williston's s
story, but he might keep an impress
sion ever before these 12 men that
there was story-he knew it and
they knew it-a story of which some
crotchet OF the law forbade the telling.
What did you do after your atten-
tion had been called to the suspicious
circumstances of the steers detsn-
tom"

heard and sent them out to look for

Gordon nodded to Small. His exam

confident answers from his witness.

COTTON SLUMPED
IN AFTERNOON
Few Bales Sold Locally on
10 IL Gent Basis.

An Improvement near the close of
the Liverpool cotton market was re-
fected in the opening of the American
markets yesterday, but in the after
noon prices slumped badly. An es-
innate of the number of bales ginned,
including linters, was 11,467,000, the
linters being placed at 3O5,00G bales.
In view of the prospective curtail-
ment of output the belief was wide
spread that the end of the season
would likely see a good supply car
ried over. Nothing was heard from
the bull contingent and cotton was
freely thrown into the market. Low
levels for the season were reached,
though October losses were more
moderate than other positions Net
losses for the day were II to 18
points for the old crop positions.
New York opened to 4 points up
on cables, and worked a few points
higher during the morning. Around
the noon hour depression set in,
with small rec oyeries continuing I'M
til the close, which was points low
er for October, and 16 to Is points
down for other months, as compared
with the final for Tuesday Spots
were marked eff points, reaching II
cents for middling New Orleans OPP
ened 2 to 5 points higher and after
narrow changes gained a little on
opening values The market broke
in the afternoon, the close being at
the bottom, to II points net lower
for the day. Spot quotations were
reduced 1-8c.
Liverpool opened to points low
er and held around these prices until
in the afternoon, when an improve
ment was made. The close was quiet,
unchanged to 1 point above the final
figures for Tuesday. Spots were re-
duced points, the sales being 5000
bales.
In the local spot market a few bales
of the better grades changed hands
on a basis of about 10 IL cents. Lit
tie was offering and the demand was
also slack. Quotations are reduced
