q memorial of her son which she
placed some years ago in the garden
of a house in Paris which belongs to
her.
Nothing could be more appropriate
than the presence of memorial OF

redolent of Napoleonic memories as
Malmaison, where Napoleon I. spent
SO many happy hours.

ireaining bright day dreams in boat,
and startled into attention as the collie
came hurtling through space, She was
Naomi Barton, the daughter OF John
Marsh's alleged enemy, and she recog-
nized the animal at once.
Quick, Jackze!" she cried at once,
and in another moment the animal was
in the boat and crouched down, con-
cealed by a shawl thrown over him.
From the shots, from the voices
overhead, from some stray fragments
Of rumor that had come to her ears,
Naomi comprehended the situation. A
bright dream of love-for she was en-
gagged to honest, Woodworking Abner
Gale-had been drifting through her
mind when the interruption had come.
But her vision of domestic bliss had
seemed very far away. Since the great
lawsuit the Bartons had been brought
very low financially. She could not
leave tae old folks to struggle on
alone. She was too proud to have her
lover care for them. So the wedding
had been postponed indefinitely.
Naomi waited until she was sure
that the constables had returned to
the town. Then she ran the boat
nearer to the home farm. She took
Jackie with her, housed him in the
barn, fed him and attended to his
slight wound. At dusk she stole from
the house and by secluded paths start
ed for the home where Mr.. Marsh
lived.

pictured his sordid misery and lonell-

Naomi knocked at the door.
She stood aside smiling through her
tears as Jackie sprang upon his mas
ter. The beautiful affection Of the dog,
the almost insane delight of Marsh,
were touching in the extreme. Finally
Marsh eyed her keenly.

The letter, sent through the State De-

since its organization it has distributed

COTTON WORRYING BRITISH.
Question of Financing of Uganda
Crop Submitted to Government.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
MANCHESTER, England. November
10.-Propositions for the financing OF
the 1915 cotton crop in Uganda have
been submitted to the British govern
ment by the British Cotton Growing
Association, which just met here. The
treasury is considering the Uganda
cotton situation, which is said by of
ficers of the Cotton Growing Associa-
ton to be extremely critical. Cotton is
already being delivered for shipme MT
in parts of the South African state and
immediate action is imperative to re-
lieve the planters, who find the market
so depressed.
Mr.. Mccall, director of agriculture
for Nyassaland, has informed the Brit
ish Cotton Growing Association that
it is impossible for Europeans to grow
cotton there which can be delivered in
Liverpool at less than 10 cents pound.
Consequently, he thinks it likely all
European planters will abandon cotton
and plant tobacco instead. The natives
are able to produce cotton at less ex-
penSe.
