REALLY USED COTTON BALES
Popular Idea Concerning Battle Of
New Orleans Has Been Found
to Be Correct.

Interest in the slumbering cotton
bale theory Of the battle OF New Or
leans was aroused by the finding OF a
water.color picture map OF the original
battle plan in an abandoned trunk In
the celler Of the St Charles hotel.
Little is known about the drawing or
the other contents OF the trunk which
has remained unnoticed for years In
dark corner.
Five veterans OF the battle have
added their signatures to the remark
able map to attest the fact that It is
true representation Of the battle
plan as made under the direction Of
Andrew jackson by his military engi-
neer H. Laclotte 1t shows a line OF
cotton bales which a marginal note
says was 1000 feet long with pro
longment extending 600 feet into the
woods. Some historians deny the
story about the use OF cotton bales.

New Mexico.

The owners of the Bennett-Stephen-

cash offer of $3.50. 900 for the property.
Operations will be resumed this sum-
mcr on an extensive scale.
No material change is reported in
the drilling for oil at Carlsbad, the

cations for oil are said to be improv-
ing and that 1t is thought that be-
meath the limestone will be found
that which the drillers are seeking.
According to official reports, New
Mexico is third in the production OF
flourspar in the country. The total
production last year was 1850 short
tons valued at s736,2S6. Eight per
cont of the output is used as a fux
in basic open hearth steel furnaces
and is also used In blast furnaces.

Gas Company recently Incorporated

Things that are cheap lack enduring
quality.

could he do that? When he had part

frenzy of obstinacy. 1t had seemed so

he could dimly see the green rocks,
and the white froth of the water bub-
bling and chuckling down over their
rounded outlines to the shrouded level
below. The moon lifted finally and
scared through the sky, blowing out
the little lamps of stars. Under its
light a gossamer mist robed the land
scape in a shimmering opalescence,
in which tree and shrub altered their
values and became transmitted to sill
yer sentinels, watching over de-
mesne of violet-velvet shadows filed
with sleepy twitterings and stealthy
rustlings and the odor of wild honey

the inscription with an indrawn

lifted the ivy that had once rambled

In the library, an hour later, sitting
at the big black pigeonholed desk, he
wrote to Shirley:

night train. Uncle Jefferson will give
you this note in the morning. l will

The Voice From the Past.

Inc VOICE from lTc FdSI.
Though the doctor left the church
with Shirley and her mother, he did
not drive to Rosewood, but to his Of
fee. There, alone with Mrs. Dan
bridge while Shirley waited in the
carriage, he unlocked the little tin
box that had been the majors, with
the key Mrs. cambridge gave him, and
put into her hands a little packet of
yellow oiled-silk which bore her name
He noted that it agitated her pro-
foundly and as she thrust it into the
bosom of her dress, her face seemed
stirred as he had never seen it. When
he put her again in the carriage, he
patted her shoulder with a touch far
gentler than his gruff goodby.
At Rosewood, at length, alone in her
room. she sat down with the packet in
her hands. During the long hours
since first the little key had lain in
her palm like live coal, she had been
all afire with eagerness. Now the
moment had come, she was almost
afraid.
She tried to imagine that letters
coming to her-then. Thirty years
ago! A May day, a day OF golden
sunshine and flowers. The arbors had
been covered with roses then. too. like
those whose perfume drifted to her
now. Evil news flies fast, and she
had heard of the duel very early that
morning. The letter would have
reached her later. She would have
fed away with 1t to this very room
to read 1t alone-as she did now!
