Taken In Trade.

The ignorance Of real cotton on tho
part OF New York cotton.traders has
long been a subject OF disgust In the
South. A Georgia cotton.grower re.
calls an incident which. he says, is
n true measure OF the margin-trader's
knowledge.
A man who had been n member OF
the New York Cotton exchange for 20
years was invited to attend n banquet
at the cotton-goods manufacturers
annual convention. The tables were
decorated with great clusters OF cot.
ton bolls.. The exchange member sat
the feast through and listened to all
the speeches. On the way out OF the
banquet hall he said to friend:

The explanation OF this dramatic
scene. which so rudely disturbed a
peaceful summer afternoon, was that,
1t being only the day after the permis-

not yet been informed of the new
order.
Our soldier chuckled as he thought

longer; the sentry told us how he sat
in holes in the bank which he dug out
in the soft earth with his bayonet, and
watched for hours unseen; and we
related how friend had smuggled

insistence that matches. and matches
alone, were the cause OF his being
there. this information did not seem
to interest him. We said goodnight" {"

| Brinsley had found the friendship
Of Mollie Malcolm so delightful that
he had been afraid to put his fortunes
to the hazard. He had shrunk from
saying anything that might make 1t
impossible for him to continue even
in his present unsatisfactory relations
with her.
But now-after year OF this pla.
tonic friendship-he felt that the time
had come for him to speak out like a
man, and to know hts fate. He sent
her a costly bouquet during the day
and in the evening went up to her
apartment, faultlessly groomed and
manicured.
Mollie became grave the moment
she saw him, and he found It diff
cult to begin. After few futile ef
forts on both sides to say something
to put one another at ease, Mollie
looked up with one Of her old radiant
smiles, and said:
"Oh, Fred! Ihave some news to tell
you. Dick will be home next week
"Dick?" Brinsley repeated, inter
negatively. who is Dick?"
why, Dick Darlington" said Mollle
raising her eyebrows with sort OF
aggrieved air.
"Oh, yes-your cousin. / remem
Der, he introduced US; but, really,
mad only a very slight acquaintance
with Mr. Darlington-though, OF
course, shall be glad to know him
better for your sake. as he is your
cousin"
We'll. he always calls himself my
cousin, but, really, we are not &c
nearly related as that. You see, his
father and my mother were cousins
The connection is very slight. But
we are going to be married when Dick
has been home a month"
Brinsley got out of the room and
got home, somehow. He never re-
membered how. Nobody saw him for
a week. Miss Malcolm never saw him
again.
But on the morning OF her wedding
day she had note from him. She
read 1t with smile, and sighed as
she dropped It into the stove.
Poor man." she said to herself. "Its
too bad. or course, II anything had
happened to Dick while he was in
Africa or any of those places, that
would have made a difference"
They had been on their honeymoon
a week, when one morning Dick Oar.
lington looked up from the newspaper
and said:
why, Mollie, Fred Brinsley is dead /!
He was buried yesterday. Died from
an overdose of strychnia-must have
been drinking heavily. And-what's
this?-why. bless my soul!-he's left
his fortune to YOU"
Mollie went over and sat on her
husbands knee. She glanced over
the paragraph that he had Just been
reading. Then. putting her arms
round Dicks neck, she kissed him on
the cheek and said:
Poor Mr.. Brinsley. 1t was an odd
