Those who were in Picking during
the Boxer uprising and who visit the
FOREIGN settlement to-day see many
changes. The legation walls show no
signs of warfare save one corner OF
the British compound, near the gate
opposite the Forbidden City. Here the
bullet holes remain, and the broken
bricks lie just as they were when the
allied forces relieved the garrison.

II n the course of the happy moments
he had alone with Carroll. Orde
arrived at a more intimate plane
of conversation with her. He
came to an understanding of her un
questioning acceptance of Mrs. Bish-
ops attitude. Carroll truly believed
that none but herself could perform
for her mother the various petty Offices
that lady demanded from her next of
kin and that her practical slavery was
due by every consideration of flial af-
lection. In his hotel room he brooded
over the state of affairs until his
thoughts took very gloomy tinge in
deed. To begin with, in spite Of his
mothers assurance he had no faith
in his own cause. His acquaintance
with Carroll was but an affair of
months, and their actual meetings
comprised incredibly few days. Orde
was naturally humble minded. 1t did
not seem conceivable to him that he
could win her without a long court
ship And superadded was the almost
intOlerable weight of CARROTS ideas as
to her domestic duties.
Nevertheless. at the very mement
when he had made up his mind that it
would be utterly useless even to In
dulge in hope for some years to come.
he spoke. It came about suddenly and
entirely without generalization.
The two had escaped for breath OF
air late in the evening. Following the
conventions, they merely strolled to the
end OF the block and back, always
within sight of the house. Carroll was

Orde thereupon followed her down

opened slantwise into the dining room.

NRDE found note at the Motel
the next day asking him to be
in Washington square at half
past 2. Carroll met him with q
bright smile
''Things aren't quite right at home,"
she said. 1T is a great shock to poor
mother at first. and she feels very
strongly. Oh, it isn't you. dear; it's
the notion that l. can care for anybody
but her. You see, she's been used to
the other idea so long that / suppose
it seemed part Of the universe to her.
She'll get used to it after a little. but
It takes time"
Orde examined her face anxiously.
Two bright red spots burned on her
cheeks; her eyes flashed with a nerv-
GUS animation.
She smiled up at him.
Eve have to pay for the good things
In life, don't we. dear? And they are
worth it. We must not be too impa-
tent Now, let's enjoy the day"
At o'clock Orde took her back to
her doorstep.
This went on several days.

ginning to tell. Carrolls worried ex-

 Washington, April 27.-A message of reassurance to the general cotton trade was issued by the Department Of Justice today as follows
 'fThe action of the government in Snstituting the investigation before the Grand Jury in New York concerning an alleged cotton pool should not in any way be construed as an attack on legitimate operations on any of the cotton or produce exchanges in the United States. The proceeding being one before a Grand Jury and not yet completed, it cannot properly be discussed at this time.''
 New York, April 27.-The Govern ment's defense of the action of the department of justice in Investigating the alleged cotton pool, issued in a formal statement at Washington to- day, is considered here to be an of fciai answer to Governor Conner of Alabama.
