. PURPOSE IN LIFE
BY FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDER.

BY FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDER'
SON.,
You won't amount to much,
Nephew Donald, if you keep on this
way!"
Uncle Gregory" retorted the recall.
citrant and discredited Donald Baird,
with whimsical twinkle in his merry
eye, Il found out long ago that l was
an odd fish, not much good except to
knock around the world, work hard
and keep cheerful. Here you insist
on my remaining land lubber.
don't fit in. Let me 60 back to the
blue and bounding billow again, and
throw me off your mind, and make me
happy
Old Gregory Baird shook his head
| dolefully and groaned. He was very
| fond of this erratic relative Of his.
When Donald returned from running
away to sea after a voyage around the
world two years previous, the uncle
had set down his foot hard.
Here is a comfortable home and
enough to last out several lifetimes,"
he had observed. "Ill leave it to you
and Rupert if you obey me and be-
have yourselves. If you don't, I'll cut
the rebel off with a penny
And so, not that he thought of the
money, but because he loved and re-
spected the old man, Donald hung
around the Baird homestead, half
bored to death and longing constant
ly for the rollicking breezy life on
the ocean wave.
IT'S all right, your studying navi-
cation and trigonometry, and all those
sailor-like gimcracks," now spoke
Uncle Gregory, "but all you need to
do is to find some good woman for a
wife, settle down here, run the es-
tate and enjoy life"
I've yet to see the lady I'd take
for mattel" laughed Donald. I'D
rather be free to rove as please and
busy myself about the village here,
even if all l find to do is to spin sea
yarns for the boys and girls and make
toy boats for the little tots"
You're wrong there, Donald" in.
sisted the old man. Every man owes
it to himself to settle down and raise
a family. Now look at your cousin.
Rupert-dresses well, goes into the
social swim, and has got in with the

ing. Then there was Dreathless
hush as he began climbing the
smooth, yielding pole. 1t was en-.
trancing to view his sailor-like skill
and hardihood. AS Donald neared the
top of the pole it bent over danger
ously. With accurate nicely of equi-
poise, however, he reached the top,
released the blue bird, and holding it
in one hand slid easily to the roof.
a tremendous cheer rent the air
as he appeared below. The eager
maid was advancing with the cage.
He slipped the truant within it and
modestly stepped away.
"The young lady asked about you,
she wrote down your name; she said
she must see you to thank you," a
neighbor told Donald that evening.
DO you know who she is?"
mo"
"The rich Miss Caruthers. They
have magnificent summer home up
at Silver lake."
Then the next morning, rather
grudgingly it seemed, his Cousin Ru.
pert came to him.
Il saw Miss Caruthers last evening""
he announced. 1T seems you cap
tured one of her lost pets. She in
sists that you must come up to the
lake this evening. Say" continued
Rupert, with a rather disdainful
glance at the careless attire Of his
humble cousin, ''fix up bit, will
you?"
Ashamed of me, are you?" chal-
lenged Donald, with a laugh.
"Of course not; but you see, that
is, like the family to make a good
impression-see?"
1t seemd to Donald as though some
subtle influence never before expert
enced was urging him to 60 up to
Silver lake. The memory of the
charming face he had seen in the au-
tomobile fingered vividly. 1t was just
before dusk when he reached the
Caruthers home.
It was we'll that Donald had come.
A heavy storm had come up, darkness
and dense fog were fast enveloping
the broad lake. He found the anxious
Caruthers family discussing the prob
able whereabouts of the daughter of
the house and Rupert, who had gone
out in a yacht.
Donald was too much of sailor not
to realize the peril Of the yacht if 1t
had not landed somewhere. He found
a small steam launch at pier. Soon
he was aioat.
A tossing light finally directed him.
AS he drove aside of the yacht it was
to find his cousin sick and helpless,
and useful Miss Garuthers bravely at
the helm; but the yacht nearly a
wreck. He had arrived just in time
to save them.
Superb climber, expert sailor, for
the first time in his life his true man.
ly nobleness fully appreciated by a
lovely woman, Donald began to think
less Of the bounding main and more
of the joys that true love brings.
For Donald had met his fate, and
the blue birds fair owner Aperceded
the old longing for the blue, blue
sea!

MARKET QUIET
Prices Hold Firm, However. in
Spite of Poor De
mand.
rBy Telegraph TO The Tribune J

Fall River, Mass. July &c Business
in the cotton goods markets in New
England, as well as in New York, WAS
very quiet last week. and it may be
stated as being dull. What little de-
mand there was was for wide goods,
while narrow cloths were practically
neglected. The call for printers styles
was extremely quiet and buyers inter
est in other lines was somewhat re
stricted. When large business was
considered buyers insisted upon con-
cess ions. but when it came TO small
lots for immediate or very nearby de-
liveries buyers paid full asking prices.
Mills making narrow goods arc in a
bad situation, because the demand for
this make has been very small for the
last eight or nine months, and the out
look FOR better business in that class
of goods is by no means encouraging
Some converters have interested them
selves in contracts for January, but
tho interest in long time deliveries 10
not large. Prices quoted were on the
bases named for standards. There
have been no changes in quotations
since the previous week.
II seems to some manufacturers here
that some Of the buyers who talked
about contracts TO run through the
last quarter of this year and into the
early months Of next year were not
ovcr-sincere in their desire actually TO
place business Millmen here are rot
so certain as 10 the quality or guam
tity Of the new cotton crop, and be-
cause Of these uncertainties late busl-
ness cannot be fully considered. Some
manufacturers are Of the opinion that
cotton prices Will not be materially
lower than those now quoted, although
the size Of the cotton crop seems 10 be
assured Under the circumstances
manufacturers prefer sticking 10 spots
and nearby contracts and keeping
their stocks down as much As possible
to going into contracts so far ahead.
The total sales for the week will not
exceed $4,000 pieces. Of which $4,000
pieces arc spots. Quotations: 2S-inch,
