Oct 3s.--The cotton market was very active and excited again today. with prices making new high fecords on Puiiish estimates of the crop, foreign buy ing anal'a bis deniAhd froIn both western and southern bulls The eciose was several points off from the best under realizing but steady at Q net advance of to IS points. 60lS points h response to very firm Liver pool cables. Realizing was tremendous on the initial bulge. an idea prevailing in local cotton circles that American bulls had help- ed to put up the Liverpool market. Houses with European connections were sensational ly heavy buyers. aking fully 2o.eoe bales before the end of the call. but in spite of this big demand, prices reacted from the opening figures and slowly yielded until they
 showed c net loss of about 2 @t points Of-
 terings were so readily absorbed around this
 to cover and when early rumors were con- firmed by cable announcing that an Eng fish authority had estimated the present
 crop at from to,e00.o00 to 100000 bales the market became even more active and ex- cited than t had been earlier. with Decem- Der contracts selling at i4.S2 and May at
 A. 45 or i6 to IT points net higher.
 Reports of higher yarn markets helped the advance during the aftefnoon and much of the early buying here was attributed to European splnners covering hedges. against 1oLss3 last week and s3,s4e fast year. For the week 425.ooo bales. against t4s.e2G bales last week and 44s.s79 last year.

he calculated, The must have got out away back wonder, for he's nowhere in sight on the roadl' Then Freckles looked for the cart, which was gone also. "oh. sir, that man has stolen my cart of vegeta blesl" he cried. "See, it's gone. And your rope is gone with 1t, sir"
 Why, Boy, wasn't the man with you? don't you know him? I supposed you were going to town together. But-on my honor-I wondered how such a fine fel- low as you could be in company with a tramp"
 "A trampf" asked Freckles in wonder. ''Was he tramp, sirT'
 Why, sure," replied the farmer But l naturally supposed you knew him as you were walking along together I sup posed he was working for your father and had been intrusted to go to market with you"
 Then Freckles told the story of his meeting with the tramp, and tears were in his bright blue eyes as he said: But he's got all my nice vegetables, and my good cart, sir, and the cart cannot be replaced. It was worth a deal more to me than 1t would be to anyone else, for l could take my truck to market in It."
 Well, we'll get him if it takes all day." said the farmer, turning his horses about. And then, at a brisk trot they returned over the road they had just come, and pretty soon the farmers quick eye detected the cart tracks turning from the main road towards the creek bottom, leading through a recently -plowed field. Well" he said to Freckles, i've can't drive through that field. but we can tie the horses here to this old stump and walk after the thief. He's probably in hiding in the woods wonder, thinking we'd not return to hunt him. And after it's dark he'll haul the cart to town, sell the vegetables and cart at the market, pocket the cash and consider his day well spent. But we'll just stop his little game"
 But, sir, I don't like to take your time this way. You have your own af fairs to attend to. and 1t Is not right for me to detain you," said Freckles.
 i've plenty of time to help out a fine, honest little farmer boy" declared the farmer. And I'm going to cut this little forked stick into the shape of a revolver and frighten the thieving fel- low into running like a Turk" And the

evening of the party arrived. All was in readiness, and Mrs Bright-eye, with her son and two daughters beside her, was stationed at the parlor door to receive her guests. The new house was aglow with lights and fragrant with fresh meadow flowers. As the guests entered the new house they fell into raptures over its beautiful arrangement and fur nishing
 The last guest to arrive was a huge fellow in long black coat high silk hat and carrying a cane He wore a digni- fled air and was bowed into the parlor by Mrs. Bright-eye and introduced to the other guests by none less than the squir- rel councillor. And the tall. dignifed new gIest-stranger to all apparently except Mrs. Bright-eye and the councilor-made himself very agreeable, complimenting the ladies and paying close attention to the conversation of the gentlemen.
 Then supper was announced, and all repaired to the dining room, where real feast was set before them. The new guest was very talkative, directing the attention of the guests to various decora- tions of the room and pointing out the beauties of the moonlight landscape seen through the open windows. But while the eyes of the other guests were roaming the room or looking from the windows, those of the wise old councillor were closely watching the strangers movev ments, which were sly and quick.
 After the supper had been enjoyed to the fullest, the hostess led her guests again to the parlor. And then it was that the wise old councillor took the pre- caution of slyly locking the outer doors of the house and of whispering secretly to several of the older and stronger of the male guests present.
 Pretty soon after supper the strange, tall guest approached the hostess and said that he must take his leave, as he
