until, with a start, she was brought
to a sense of the situation by the sud-
den spasmodic falling of rain.
Lucy jumped to her feet. 1t became
pitch dark with surprising suddenness.
As she prepared to race for the hotel
entrance the sound of some one talking
in the hotel near the open window by
which she was standing caught her at
tention.
You're sure there's no one out there
hadn't we better put down the win
dOw?" came q voice-that of Shaw.
Mo- said another man; 1.-The storm
has driven every one in. and it's sitting
here as it is"
All right them" said the other. MY
man on the other side Of the lake will
see to it that no boats are in condition
to cross the lake tonight, and telephone
communication is cut. Consequently
Strong can't return-he can't vote his
proxies at the directors meeting to-
night, and we have everything our
own way. Cad, but I'll be glad to
crush himp'
Lucy, shivering in the rain that
dashed in upon her, caught the con-
versation before the resounding thun-
der peals made it impossible for her to
hear everything above the storm. In
a flash she understood that Shaw, the
man whom she had thought she might
love, was planning-had planned-to
iniure Strong. Evidently it was i'm
perative for Strong to attend direct
ors' meeting in that hotel that night
if he wished to save himself, and Shaw
had seemingly made it impossible for
him to be there.
In a moment Lucy's mind was made
up rs to her course of action. Heed
less of her unprotected condition, she
ran. guided by lightning flashes, down
the wooden steps from the hotel to the
landing pier. Here her own launch
was moored. She cranked it quickly.
The sound of some one tearing down
the steps toward her made her work
the faster. AS she cast off she saw
by flash that the person was Shaw.
He cried to her frantically:
Don't go! Don't go"
But Lucy merely smiled. In few
minutes she was out in the wave toss
ed lake. She did not fear pursuit. No
other launch on that side of the lake

Lucy Hamilton, with Arthur Shaw
standing by her side, watched John
Strong as he waved his hand and shot
out into the lake in his swift motor
boat. When Strong was well out in
the lake he stood up in the boat and
threw a kiss to Lucy.
The girl turned to Shaw with a little
laugh. There was heightened color in
her cheeks.
He's always doing something fool
ish like that" she exclaimed.
Shaw scowled a little as he looked
after the retreating boat. He turned
TO Lucy suddenly.
ST believe you're in love with
Strong he declared.
Lucy exclaimed Indignantly at this.
How many times have L told you"
she cried, that I'm not in love with
any man? 1 think both you and Mr..
Strong are fine. splendid young fell
lows, and / like you both immensely,
but as for being in love-pshaw, that's
another matter entirelyr
"Pm Internally jealous" Shaw re-
piled, with relief in his tone, land I
know that 1 haven't any right to be.
But I'm head over heels in love with
you, Lucy, and hate to think Of any
other man winning you"
They had turned and were walking
toward the hotel, which stood short
distance back on the bluff overlooking
the lake. Surely. Lucy thought, moth
ing could be franker than Shaw's
avowal. and yet the avowal did not
particularly thrill her. Instinctively
she felt that she would have been more
thrilled if Strong had talked to her in
this manner.
From this point Lucy firmly guided
Shaw's conversation into other chan
neIs. They reached the hotel veranda.
Almost Immediately Shaw was called
by business into the hotel. and Lucy
was left alone. Half abStractedly she
watched the clouds forming in the
west for a storm. Her thoughts were
on the two men. She did not realize
how long she had been sitting there

ton in the south today to last south

that the forthcoming August condition
report, by the bureau of cotton stats
tics to be issued on August ?, will re-
fleet the deterioration of the crop in
July, by several points under the very
low June condition report.
In most sections of the belt the
cotton plant is small and grassy, and
in other sections too full of sap ara
weedy. These conditions forecast a
small yield compared with that of one
year ago.
The failure Of the peach crop al

duction of the cotton crop, such as
the case this year. With consump-
tions assuming enormous proportions,
and the production of the cotton crop
indicating an unusual shortness, it
Is impossible, at this time, to predict
with any degree cf accuracy where
the maximum price of spot ctoton will
reach. That We are now entering
upon an era of very high prices for
the coming season, there s scarcely
any question of doubt, and the slower
spot cotton is marketed, at the open

Jordan, Of the Southern Cotton AS
ISOLATION.
The present outlook for anything
like a normal production of cotton for
the season Of 1909-1910 is worse than
any year since 1903. Reports which
have come to me from all parts of the
cotton belt from reliable sources, ana
the result of personal observation
during the past thirty days, indicate a
very serious condition of the cotton
crop, especially in the territory of
the southwestern states. The long,
and as yet unbroken, period of drought
in Texas, accompanied by unprece-
denied hot weather, covering the larg-
est procucing counties in that state,
make it impossible for the crop there
to recover normal conditions, even
under the most favorable weather.

largely prevailed in Mississippi and
Louisiana In every state, except
Texas, there has been a voluntary
decrease n the cotton acreage by the
farmers this year.
In all the states east of the Missis-

and many thousands of acres have
been abandoned, and the fields planted
to corn and peas. Grab grass has
