Is still gathering cotton" from the

early cotton planting, and usually is
the first to put seed in the ground in
this county. Last year he made a
large crop on his early planting. He
figures that the only thing he can lose
by early planting is the seed, and so
much can be gained if the proper sea-
sons come. Several farmers In the
county still have cotton in the field,
and one small farmer has gathered
about Is bales during the last few

she snorted, "Scandalous!" as she
crashed down each step.
She was a very solid woman, widely
built. Wallace had noticed that the
night before when he had peeped in

of that terrific episode, she would have
screamed for the village constable and
had him locked up in the calaboose.

CHAPTER DISCONTINUED.

Wallace made an EFFORT 10 slt up
and discuss things further with Broad
way, who seemed to be entirely awake,
though dreamy in a strange, unwonted
way, but there were two arguments
against this. the first that gnats and
moths swarned merrily in as soon as
the oil lamp was lighted, bringing with
them more than one mosquito, the sec
ond being that he was worn out after
a long day full of various excitements.
I'm going to bed" he finally de-
cided.
Best place for you, Bob, this time
OF night. Folks who sit up"
"Oh, shut up! Good night"
Good night See you in the morn
ing"
Now, why" asked Wallace, after he
had left his friend, did that boy seem
80 glad to have me go to bed? He act
ed just as If he wanted to kneel down
and pray, but couldn't while a vulgar
herd like me was looking on. Now,
what the DEVIL"
He got into bed.
Broadway did not go to bed. Instead
he found a pen and ink and some OF
the soft, spongy hotel stationery in a
drawer of the bare washstand. He be-
gan work with them slowly, painfully.
The pen soon failing, he dug from a
cornerof a pocket in his vest the pen
Gil Of which he had been so proud
when Pembroke had called on him,
and continued. After an hours hard
labor for his brain, the pencil, the soft
paper and the tongue which he contin-
ually thrust into his cheek, he had
completed what he thought a master
piece. He was not sure whether he
would speak 1t, the next day, to Josie,
by herself, OK to the assembled multi
tude of the mills employees, but he was
certain 1t was great.
Having written it he spent another
hour in carefully committing it to
memory Tor so he fondly thought) and
then got into bed.
An hour later he tried to sleep the
night out sitting up, for the bed was
such as he had never wen read about.
Wher, at last, he fell into a posture
less suggestive Of repose on garden
rakes and hose than any other had
been, he dreamed horrid dreams Of
brokan-hearted villagers, starving in
the streets of Jonesville in such ter.
rible profusion that the newspapers re-
ferred to it as "Bonesville" and de-
clared that he had proved to be the
chief industrial pirate of his day, ruin
ing, In the fourth generation, a fine
family name which had, for three,
stood for probity, humanity, industry
and the best chewing gum of all.
He suffered terribly as he imagined
these grim things and a dozen times
was attacked by reporters who became
so incensed as they wrote their stories
of his villainy that they strove to stab
I, him with their lead pencils; a hun.
dred times was set upon by furnishing
villagers who wished to pick his ribs
with fanglike teeth; a thousand times
found himself stark and shivering be-
fore the bar Of justice in a chilly
stretch Of space, where the specters Of
all worthy Joneses of the past con-
fronted him with slim, accusing fin
gers, pointed straight at his terror
stricken stomach.

an hour and probably an hour and a
half when Wallace started for the bar
Der shop.
1t was a very trying morning for the
girl. The events of the night before
had much upset her, and her sleep had
been as much disturbed as Broad@ay's,
although, perhaps, less physically
painful.
She had been terribly in earnest in
everything which she had said to him
about his duty to the village which had
made him rich, his duty to the family
whose name he bore, his duty to him
self; she had been intensely worried,
still al intensely worried, lest all
which she had said might go for
naught, failing to impress him perma-
nently.
He had doubtless meant we'll when
