BRAGA IS RULED D
New President of Portugal Gov

Lsbon--When Senior Theophilo

upon at his country residence, long.

wife, q frail, sweet-faced old lady.
with white hair. advanced and insisted
that the interviewer should enter.
She led him by the hand in motherly
fashion to a long, low room, more
than modestly furnished, the windows
OF which overlooked the wide expanse
OF blue serene waters but lately seeth-
ing and smoking under shot and shell.
She expressed her regret at her hus-
bands absence. and said that he was
delighted to speak to the English peo-
pie. She was congratulated on her
husbands new dignity, it being added
she ought to feel proud.
Proud" she exclaimed, smiling
doubtfully, perhaps; but above all
regret the interruption of 43 years Of
peaceful domestic happiness"
In the conversation that ensued she
said many things of an adorable sim
plicity, of which the following are a
few:
I'VE married for love. we have al
ways been poor, and always happy
with one another, except for our great
sorrow that we are now childless, for
we are ever mourning the loss Of our
son and daughter 20 years ago. My
girl would have been forty now and
should have had grown-up grandchil-
dren around me-" she added, with eyes
full of tears. But we found comfort,
my husband in his books and In my
household work near him"
1t was suggested that the change
would involve change of habits and
probably of residence.
mo, mol" exclaimed the old lady, al
most terrified. Il have told Theo-
philo that will never leave my little
home and pretty garden, where have
lived for 20 years. If we are forced
to have a larger house for meetings
and receptions, we will keep our little
home to live in always.
I'VE have had just enough to live
on. My husband has always been
prosecuted because of his opinions,
but although he cannot forget, he Is
incapable now of seeking to avenge
himself on his enemies. {.
Il. too, am a Republican, but
adored King Edward of England, so
just, 30 good, so courteous to ALI"
She referred to his visit to Portugal
and oontrasted the enthusiasm Of the
people In the streets with their indif-
ference towards their own King Car
los.
Speaking of a visit Of the command
er OF the English warships, Senhora
Braga added, proudly: And he knew
my husband quite we'll by his books!
Theophilo is 30 pleased with the good
words in the English newspapers" she
continued. THE monarchists always
held up the DOGGY of English interven-
ton, but only ignorant people believed
that England would act thus towards
another country" With simplicity she
added: Zone does not give orders in
another persons house"
Again reverting to her favorite
theme, home life, she exclaimed,
laughing: "Oh, but I scold Theophilo
sometimes. Our men folk at home
have to be kept under little"

but with this exception the English
goods market both for export and do
nestle consumption is quiet.

The crop makers are still figuring
out this years yield of cotton on paper
and continue to differ very widely in
their estimates. In last weeks issue
we referred to a guess made by one OF
these expert figurers who predicted
that the aggregate picking this year
would not amount to much more than
10 900 900 bales. This week the trade
has been favored with another guess,
placing the total yield at over 10000
900 bales. While too much Importance
should not be given to this or any
other outside estimate it is only fair
to say that this particular experts es-
innate of the last years yield was very
correct. The uncertainty in this re-
spect will soon be over, as 1t is now
only a question of few weeks when
the entire crop will have been ginned.
When the result is known there Will
be something more definite there Will
ones ideas on as to the sufficiency or
the reverse to meet the require
ments.
AS stated heretofore in these advices
if the final yield should equal 11,7OO,-
600 bales, as seems probable, then 60
ing quotations have fully discounted
the reduced supply brought about by
last years short crop.

From the gossip of the pit it would
appear as if the bull leaders were
much concerned over the. forthcoming
census report which will appear the
day preceding the governments es-
innate on the size of the crop. This
report will give the amount ginned to
December l., and the advocates of
higher prices are attempting to nullify
the market effect of what will proba-
bly, be pretty large figures by advanc-
ing the idea that the next ginning re-
port will cover practically the whole
crop. This may be so, but if it is true
it will be the one and only exception
in the history of the trade. Gins
usually run rather full up to Christ

is ginned even after the first of the
year. Last season there were 90, 70u

The tenders on December contracts
Monday were much heavier than had
been generally anticipated. The total
was close to 125,000 bales. These ten
ders included not only the cotton
which had been brought here expressly
to meet these contracts, but also a
quantity of cotton which was held over
by few of last seasons bull leaders.
From this it would appear that they
are endeavoring to dispose of some of
these spots and have adopted this as
the easiest way.

There were lockers at either end.
These she opened, finding nothing
therein but Wondering remains of
cloth, bags Of some sort which she
surmised might have contained ships
bread, and a little barrel or keg, which
had probably carried water for the
voyagers.
The boat appeared to be in an ex-
cellent state of preservation. There
were even a pair Of Jars lying on the
thwarts. If she could have dug it out
of the sand entirely, she fancied she
could have launched it and used it.
But such a task was utterly beyond
her. Besides there would have been
no gain in having the boat afoat. She
would not dare to take 1t out beyond
the barrier reef and there was nothing
to row for in the lagoon.
She easily broke the rotting lines
with which the oars were secured and
took them out. They would be useful
perhaps in some way. And then after
a long look at the boat and with a feel
ing that her labor had been mainly
wasted, she was about to turn away
when the thought struck her that
sometimes boats carried the names o.
the ships to which they belonged on
their bows or across their sterns. She
had recourse to the shovel once more
and after some elaboration essayee
the stern Of the boat.
1t was not SO hard to shovel the
! sand away from 1t and here she die
make a discovery, for although the let
tiers had been almost obliterated b.
the action Of the sand, she could still
make them out. After some study
she decided that the name of the boat
or of the ship to which 1T had be
longed, had been Nansemond of Nor
folk, Virginia. That was the net re
suit of the hard labors of a long morn

CHAPTER ".
Lesson and Labor,

The task to which she set herself in
the morning would have been an i'm.
possible one to many women, and in
deed it was a hard n to her. The
buried boat lay in the sand some rods
distant from the nearest tree. There
was absolutely no shelter from the
fierce heat Of the tropic sun. She was
not vet fully accumstomed to IT, and
indeed perhaps she never would be
able to endure 1t without some sort
Of d head covering. She ~improvised
q bonnet from the leaf Of a low spring
ing palm tree, which, with her remain
ing handkerchief, she tied about her
head. And then with her watchful
friend by her side she descended the
beach to the boat and began to dig.
1t was hard and very tedious work.
With the Nat ~make-shift shovel in the
shape Of the rough piece of board It
was almost impossible to lift the sand.
Yet she attacked the task r~esolutely
and persevered sturdily for q long
time until the sweat beaded her fore

Aged Member of British Parliament
Writes Interestingly Of Glad

-
In his eighty-third year Sir Francis
S. Powell, Bart, has decided to leave
the house of commons, the London
Daily Mail says. Wigan, where he
was born in 1927, which he represent
ed as a conservative first in 1888,
and again from 1885 to the present
day, heard the rumor with sincere re-
great and proposed to send a deputa'
ton to London to ask Its veteran
townsman to reconsider his decision.
But Sir Francis is firm, asking his
friends not to send a deputation. Dig

decided instantly that they were the
bones of a dog. Across the vertebrate
lay a piece of metal. She picked it up,
recognizing it instantly as a plate
which had probably belonged to a
dog collar. There was an inscription
on it which she did not take the trou-
BILE at the moment to read. Slipping
it into the bosom Of her tunic and
making sure that the combining rope
would keep it from falling out, she
stopped down and gathered the bones
of the human being up in her arms,
repulsive as the task was, and carried
them down to the boat OF the beach.
She laid them in the bottom of the
boat carefully and then moved by a
sudden impulse, she went back and
gathered up those of the dog which
she put in the boat also. 1t was an
easy matter to tumble a few spadefuls
of sand over the bones. Then she left
them in that rude Viking sepulture,
knowing that time would soon refill
the empty dinghy and the bones would
be safely buried unless some other in
v~estigator should uncover &em.
The man had assisted her An no way
in this process, but his excitement was
very great. While she stood looking
down at the little heap of sand which
covered all that remained of this for
lorn and forgotten visitor to this is
land, wondering if the fate of that
trespasser upon these silent shores
would some day be hers, the man sud
denly dropped on his knees as she had
seen him do on her first night on the
island. He put his hands together and
began that mumbled jargon which she
had not been able to understand, but
which had seemed to her more like
language than anything to which he
had given vent. She was surprised be-
yond measure, yet she listened with
every faculty on the alert if possible
to comprehend what he had been say
ing, and presently a familiar sound OIL
two flashed into her mind that he
was making use of a prayer which she
herself had used in childhood; that
absurd, fantastic, impossible though
the conclusion was, he was saying She
childish petition, Nov I lay nj dowr

used to manual toll of any kind, were
almost blistered. She realized at last
that she would have to give it over.
She wondered as she ceased her
labors whether the constant observa-
ton which the man had subjected her
to would enable him to continue the
work. As al experiment she handed
him the shovel, stepped out of the ex-
cavation she had made and pointed
toward it. He understood instantly.
She was surprised at the unusual
quickness of his apprehension, for he
set to work with a right good will and
in a minute the sand was flying. She
noticed half In envy how much more
progress he made than she could eff
feet. What was labor for her was
play for him, and yet after a little
space he stopped, threw down the
shovel and looked at her.
She had got in the habit of speak
ing to him as if he understood, so she
pointed to the shovel again, exclaim-
ing:
Pick 1t up and go on
Her meaning was obvious to him if
her language was not. 1t equally was
evident to her that he had no desire
whatever to proceed with his task, but
he was still under the co%nstraint of
her superior personality and presently
he did as she babe him. 1t amused
her to reflect that to all the other les.

But this time he did not heed. An
idea sprang to her brain, working
quickly under the pressure. She lifted
up her voice, for he was far from her
now and ~plodding steadily. doggedly
toward the trees.

And at that sound the man stopped.
He turned and looked at her again.
"Johni" she repeated. "John!"
She approached him. AS she did so
and whom she could get ear enough
to him, she observed that wrinkling
of the brow, that look of amazement
which she had noticed before. 1t was
as IL some latent memory, some recol-
lection Of the past, were struggling
against the obscurity Of years, as II
something were endeayoring to thrust

brought back things he could neither

meant something to him.

to the mystery she fancied was in her
hand. She had such occupation before
her as she had never hoped to come
upon in a desert island, at least. The
rope added to her security. By piling
stones before the entrance to the cave
and reinforcing them with the boards
from the wreck Of the boat and some
fallen tree branches on the shore, she
made a sort Of a barrier to it, not a
barrier that would have kept out Of
the cave any one who desired to enter,
but one which would have to be re-
moved before one could enter. And
she so arranged matters, tying the end
Of the rope to her wrist, that any at
