too" ventured Mrs. Burns.
The gossips did not trouble Libby. She
had the babies; for they were scarcely
more, Bessie being under three, and Baby
Dora not yet year old.
THERE seemed something in this woman
anomalous, yet lovely, an overdevelop-
ment in one direction, yet in the direction of
grace and sweet motherlineSs. Her narrow
life with its cramped love was satisfied, as
she rocked the baby, grooming softly:
"By low baby bunting, Daddys gone a
hunting, to get little rabbit skin, to wrap
the baby up in. Mudder's precious' she
whispered, the red creeping up to her smooth
hair, as she folded the sleeping baby to her

Libby did not deign reply, but laid her
cheek against the baby's soft one. Thoughts
surged over her against women who had
children but were not mothers.
THE days went so fast that year of them
had vanished almost before Libby re-
allied it. Jabez had visited his children IN
frequently at first; but now he came oftener.
Libby usually left him alone with them; al
though he protested and told her he could
never repay her for her kindness to his
motherless little ones.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Business at the
opening of the cotton market was active
and first prices were TO s points high

o firm cables and liberal sales Of spots
at Liverpool the local market was in
fiuenced by reports that the boil weevil
as made its appearance in every cot
ton growing county in Texas, while
prospects for moderate temperatures
over the belt were brighter
The weather conditions overnight
were favorable. Good beneficial rains
fell over Arkansas. North Mississippi
and Tennessee to-day, where needed.

spired on the rumor that Theodore Price

however, was very light. Offerings
were light, resulting in prices advancing
.ome l to points over the initial level.
Later an active selling movement dom
mated the market, causing rapid de-
cline. August after displaying phe-
nomenal strength, dropped from u 13 to
.O3, within points of the previous
close. December declined from 11.41 to

ket developed a steady tone, based on

element TO sell in the face of the un-
ment from climatic conditions. The
high temperatures prevailing in many
sections are causing alarm. This re
suited in light offerings. causing July
