young spring found wYlfrid firmly
seated In the society saddle: fairly
launched on his career as one Of the
jeunesse doree; popular alike with
men and with women; invited every
where. and apparently as happy as
the day Is long.
True, thus far he had not realized
any Of his pet projects. except to lay
the keel Of fine schooneryacht-he
had been too busy socially-but there
was. as he told himself. plenty Of
time.
Nor must II be inferred that the
glamour of these newer interests com.
pletely eclipsed the memory and
the influence OF Eunice Trevecca.
Throughout that winter wilfrid was q
constant and even a regular visitor in
far-away old Greenwich.
To the girl he carried fu.i accounts
OF his social progress. sketched for
her his constantly widening circle Of
friends and acquaintances. and spread
his daily life before her like an open
page. Thus far there had been no
subterfuges. no secrets between them.

OWNED this. True. there were ex-

fault: by her own act Wilfrid had
been left foot-loose. Had II been
otherwise. the chances are that he
would have acquainted Clara Passa-
want with the true state OF affairs
very early In their intimacy. Later 1t
became more dificult.
The faded old parlor and sitting
room ran riot in flowers. and many q

Cotton Brokers
Defraud Buyers
Out of Million
Postmaster General Hitchcock Tells
How Alabama Firm Manipulated
Bogus Bills of Lading.

, WASHINGTON, Nov. A.--Commenting on
the arrest yesterday by postoffice inspectors
Of John w. Knight, senior member Of the
cotton brokerage firm Of Knight, Yancey
& Co., of Decatur, Ala, Postmaster General
Hitchcock today gave out a statement in
which he says that the operations of this
concern through the alleged fraudulent use
of the mails would doubtless exceed
100000.
The alleged fraud was committed, he says,
by use OF bogus bills Of lading. Mr.. Hitch
cock asserts that by making false reports
Il shipments to insurance companies. GER
ificates OF insurance were procured cover
ng both railway and marine risks. These
certificates we're accepted as Indicating the
honesty of the shipments and the bills Of
aiding accepted were negotiated by note
brokers, who procured payment from the
foreign importers in advance Of delivery.
It is chiefly against these foreign buyers
OF cotton that the fraud is alleged to have
been committed. The cotton purchased, Mr.
Hitchcock says, never arrived
THE effect OF this procedure" the state
ment says, was to create a widespread
lack Of confidence in our cotton export
trade, causing great embarrassment to the
reliable exporters of this product"
Mr.. Hitchcock declares that transactions
OF knight, Yancey & Co.. were similar to
those Of another concern Of Cornith, Miss,
whose members were recently indicted on
evidence procured by postoffice inspectors.
The postmaster generals statement alleges
| that the investigation developed that the
two concerns had an arrangement by which
they exchanged drafts each holding power
Of attorney for the other to accept such
drafts, and that they committed frauds ag-
gregating between 100000 and SS,OOO,OOO
Mr.. Hitchcock refers also to the opera
tions OF Sandals, Griffin & Co., of Cleve-
land, the principals of which concern were
arrested yesterday by postoffice inspectors
for alleged fraudulent use of the mails in

legitimate oil projects during the last year

moters to defraud the public through the

says the statement investigations recently

are being extensively used in these opera
