He caught up the box and strode
over to the closet. There was no
time to lose, and this box doubtless
contained hat Of some kind If it
WAS to be returned, Cornelia would
think it had been called for, and no
further inquiry would be made about
the matter. He could call at Mad
ame's and settle the bill without his
sisters knowledge.
He poked back into the closet and
discovered several wraps and evening
cloaks Of more or less elaborate
style, but the thought came to him
that perhaps one of these would be
recognized as Cornelia's. He closed
the door hurriedly and went down to
large closet under the stairs. from
which he presently emerged with his
mothers new black rain-coat. He
patted his coatpocket to be sure he
had the gloves. seized his hat, and
hurried back to the carriage, the hat
box in one hand and his mothers
rain-coat dragging behind him. His
only anxiety was to get out before
the butler saw him.

OIL OUTPUT is SMALLER.
The Price Advance in 1912 Stimu-
lated Drilling.

Washington.-Produ of petro-
leum in the Appalachian oil field de-
clined 172 per cent or 452,SI6 barrels
in 1913, compared with 1912. Figures
by the Geological Survey show that
the total output in 1913 was 25,ss5,64o
>arrels, against 26,33S,51G barrels in
tie preceding year. The value of the
product, however, was s43.6l9,6l7. an
increase of 1853 per cent over 1912.
The average price per barrel increased
from $163 in 1912 to s2.46 in 1913.
The increase in the price of petro-
Ieum, which began at the end Of 1912.
resulted In stimulating drilling actiw
lty in all Appalachian states, which
embrace New York, Pennsylvania.

Backhander.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, en- route
for the suffrage congress at Budapest,
said on the Minneapolis:
II see that a number of influential
women have appeared as anti-suffra-
gists before the senate committee.
I'm sorry for this.
These women declare that they
wish their sex well, but 1t is hard to
understand their attitude. To me they
seem to be striking back-handed
blow at progress. They are like the
spiteful woman who said to an old
friend:
"'You don't show your age at all,
darling
"'Oh, don't ~ cried the old friend,
delighted.
No. said the other. I was looking
for 1t in the sitting-room. When did
you scratch 1t out OF the family Bi

the young man tore up the steps to

his attention to an inside pocket. I'm

at them with a sudden inspiration
OF course! Why had he not thought
of that? He hurried into his sisters

necessities for the emergency-only
to have his assurance desert him at
the very threshold The room was
immaculate, with no feminine finery

ARIZONA RAISING COTTON.
The 1918 Cotton Crop Was Most VAL
liable Ever Produced

Washington.-Fina figures on the
1913 cotton crop, announced by the
census bureau, place it as the largest
the United States has ever grown.
with the exception of that of 1911. At
the same time the estimate of the to-
tai value of the crop shows it was the
most valuable ever produced, 1t being
worth 1,O43.76O.OOO.
The quantity of cotton sinned from
the 1913 crop, counting round as half
bales and excluding linters, was 49,
9S2,S11 running bales, or 14,156,4S6
bales of 500 lbs. gross weight. Cotton
seed produced was 6,305 900 tons, OF
which 4,575,50S tons were crushed.
The value OF the cotton is estimated
at SSS7,16O,OO0 and of the seed $780,
100000
An interesting feature of the 1918
production was the crop of the I'm
perial valley. in southern California,
where 22,S3S bales were grown 1t
has been reported the acreage planted
this year in the Imperial valley will
show large increase, while the pro-
duction is estimated at from $4,000 to
100000 bales. Last years production
vas more than double that of any pre-
vious year there, where commercial
growing of cotton has been in progress
only few years.
Another feature was the production
in Arizona, where 2299 bales were
ginned. the largest part of which
possessed the same characteristics as
that grown in Egypt. The 1914 area
shows large increase, variously esti-
mated at from 1900 to $4,000 acres.

ment. Perhaps she was a thief or
an adventures
The girl was speaking again: But
must not trouble you any more. You
have been very kind to get me out
of that dreadful place. II you will
just stop the carriage and let me out.
| am sure l can take care of myself"
II could not think Of letting you
get out here alone. II you are in dan.
ger, will help you" The warmth OF
his own words startled him. He knew
he ought to be more cautious with a
stranger. but impetuously he threw
caution to the winds. III you would
just tell me little bit about 1t. SO
that l should know what ! ought to do
for YOU"
"Oh, must not tell you! l couldn't"
said the girl, her hand fiuttering up
to her heart. as II to hold its wild
beating from sitting her Il am sorry
to have involved you for moment in
this. Please let me out here. l am
not frightened, now that l got away
from that terrible tunnel | was afraid
might have to go in there alone, for
l didn't see any way to get up the
bank, and couldn't go back"
Il am glad l happened to be there"
breathed the young man fervently. at
would have been dangerous for you to
enter that tunnel. 1t runs an entire
block. You would probably have been
killed"
The girl shut her eyes and pressed
her fingers to them. In the light of
the street lamps, he saw that she was
very white. and also that there were
jewels flashing from the rings on her
fingers. 1t was apparent that she
was lady of wealth and refinement.
What could have brought her to this
pass?
The carriage came to a sudden stop,
and, looking out. he saw they had
reached his home. A new alarm
seized him as the girl moved as If
to get out. His dignifed mother and
his fastidious sister were probably not
in, but if by any chance they should
not have left the house, what would
they think If they saw a strange, hat
less young woman descend from the
carriage with him? Moreover, what
would the butler think?
Excuse me-" he said. but really,
there are reasons why shouldn't like
you to get out OF the carriage just
here. Suppose you sit still until
come out. have dinner engage
ment and must make few changes
In my dress. but it will take me only
few minutes. You are in no danger,
and l will take you to some place Of
safety. I will try to think what to do
while l am gone. On no account get
out OF the carriage. 1t would make
the driver suspicious, you know. II
you are really followed, he will let no
one disturb you in the carriage, of
course. Don't distress yourself. I'll
