the part of some houses to sell cotton
regardless OF price continues unabat-
ed. Early this morning they were
freely offering to sell at cents for
basis of middling here but apparent
ly without success. A large market
like Augusta attracts cotton from very
distant points in such q season as the
present. Southwest Georgia and even
Texas are delivering cotton to the
mills which usually get their supplies
here. at prices which are considera bly,
under our quotations. The demand
from abroad is exceedingly light so
that American mills are almost our
only customers. The cotton offered as
above stated was of course for future
deltvery--say next week or the follow
ing week-but 1t hurts the market
nevertheless. Later in the day some
sales were made here on basis of &c
for middling with the condition that
nothing but good white cotton would
be accepted. The following prices are
not official quotations but represent
real values as near as possible:
Augusta classification:
Low Middling IA.
Strict Low Middling s 3-4.
Middling 7.
Strict Middling Ia.
Good Middling z 1-2.
No demand at all for Low Middling
or anything below our Strict Low
Middling. Buyers paid these prices to-
day for good white cotton but by Mon
day they may be quarter cent low
er.
AS fOretold In these letters several
weeks ago the government is absolute
ly opposed to any scheme for valOriz-
ing or otherwise artifcially boosting
the price of cotton. The example Of
Brazil Is before them. AS long as
Brazilian government valorized coffee
the coffee market had dead weight
hanging over 1t. Notwithstanding all
their efforts coffee that formerly sold
at Is 1-2 cents Is down to cents as
a result of over-prOduction. Within
the last few days President Wilson and
other cabinet ministers have made it
absolutely clear that they can do
nothing more for cotton and that the
situation must be handled by the
banks. who can get $50 millions more
emergency currency if they So desire
What is really wanted is a better de-
mand for cotton and this cannot be
secured by legislation. Banks having
advanced large sums to make the crop
which is not yet repaid. are unwilling
to lend hundreds Of millions more on
cotton, then Il crop OF II or Il mil
lion bales next year may swamp the
market and render their security to-
times that banks have To meet their
obligations like other pcOple--indeed
more punctually-andm money obtained
from the United States treasury has
to bc repaid. We have all along said
the South should sell part of its cot
ton without forcing 1T on the market
This would soon relieve the iinancia
strain and make it easy to hold tn,
balance Of the crop.

When Harry's horse bolted, one touch
put Aquarelle into motion. Like a
line of brown light she dashed at right
angles to the runaway line drawn
to intercept the line of Black Hawks
flight. There was silence over the
field-one second-two seconds-the
lines shot to the angie--then it came
the shock they awaited
Black Hawk, rushing, saw the other
coming and swerved at the last mo-
ment-too lat4. The animals collided,
not with full force, yet for a moment
IL looked like nothing but death for
riders and mounts. Harry Hampton
was thrown backward to the level
field Black Hawk galloped off, frantic
and unhurt, across it; Aquarelle. one
saw, lay on the very edge of the drop
and was scrambling to her feet with
liveliness enough to assure her safe
ty; of Francois there was no sign. In
half a minute the breathless still
crowd was in an uproar, and hun
dred men were jostling one another
to reach the scene OF the accident.
1t was two minutes, perhaps, before
Caperton Bayly, with a negro boy at
his heels, with Jack Littleton and
Harry Wise and a dozen other lads
racing back of him, had plunged over
the drop of land where Francois had
disappeared. Two minutes are enough
sometimes for a large event. In that
two minutes Lucy Hampton, without
conscious volition, by an instinct as
simple and imperative as a birds in
stinct to shield her young, had slipped
from her horse Bluebird and flown
across the level and down over the
steep bank till she found herself hold
ing Francois dark head in her arms
and heard her own voice saying words
she had never said even to herself.
Il love you, l love YOU" she said,
and If all the world heard she did not
know or care. There was no world
for her at that minute but the man
lying with his head against her heart
dead it might be, but dead or alive,
dearest. IL love you-love you-love
YOU" she repeated, as if the soul were
rushing out of her in the words.
With that the luminous great eyes
opened, and Francois was looking at
her, and she knew that he had heard
And then the training of lifetime, OF
centuries, flooded back into her, and
womanly reticence and maidenly
shame and the feelings and attitude
which are not primeval, as she had

trying to lift himself, and left him free
and was on her feet, and then with a
shock she was aware Of another pres
ence; turning she looked up into the
angry glow Of her cousins eyes. He
was not looking at her, but at the man

to pull himself up Harry Hampton

And Francois, clutching at bush
things Keeling about him unsteadily
looked up friendly, wistful, at the boy
