For Oklahoma 1t says that the cotton has retained its good start of last month with the plant generally of good size, strong stands and frufting well.

or Of him, SO long as the furtherance Of
the object he had in view was attained.
That his son should marry Maude Deni-
son was the goal he now aimed at, and
that that was to be brought about, he
still thought far from improbable. To
that end he conceived, even while press
ing him for money, it was quite necessary
to keep on easy terms with the squire.
None knew better than he how bitter it
is for a proud man to take his words
back, and if what he now played for was
to be achieved, that was a necessity. The
task must be made as easy as possible
the unpalatable draught sugared as far
as might be.
"He-he!" he answered; you will
have your joke, Mr.. Denison. It's a
mighty pity you couldn't make up your
mind to concentrate the property once
more. Beg pardon, Squire" he continued,
deprecating Denisons angry gesture !;
don't fear my alluding to it again. 1t
was presumption on my part, know, and
if | said anything to vex you, I'm sure
I'm heartily sorry, You'll forgive an old
man, who, not having been brought up
with your views, saw nothing but the con-
centration of an estate. Yes, | know
was all in the wrong; it isn't likely Miss
Maude could be brought to think of such
a thing. I'm sure | hope the calling-in
of the mortgage is no inconvenience you
can easily raise it elsewhere. But Sans
got so deep in the racing now, that we
must get that sum together before the
Two Thousand. / wish he wasn't; but
he's clever, Sam is-clever in his way
too great gentleman for me. No Of
fense, sir, | hope; but I'm plain man."
