Weather and Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending July 20, 1915.
 The week was very favorable for farm work. Local showers, which occurred in northern coun- ties, were not heavy enough to interfere with work, but were sufficient to cause rapid growth. Very little rainfall occurred in the southern half of the state and re- ports of "rain needed" were re- ceived from several places in eastern and southern counties. While crops are not suffering se- riously from lack of moisture in these portions, moderate rains would be beneficial.
 The temperature was from 2 to degrees above normal and the amount of sunshine was abundant until Monday, when 1t became cloudy and cooler i'll northern por- tions.
 Cotton was reported in fair to excellent condition and making excellent progress, except at a few places, in central counties where rust was reported, and in southeastern counties where some damage was done by boil weevil. Corn is in excellent condition and has made excellent progress in nearly all portions of the state. Threshing continues under favor able conditions. The peach crop, which is abundant and of excellent quality, is being shipped under ideal conditions.

Jim Sayres had drifted into the rub. Der camp in the worst stage of Ama- Eon jungle fever. During the lucid in- tervals Harry Treves, the manager, and son of the millionaire president of the company, had learned that Jim had travelled a thousand miles up the river alone, after his natives had deserted him. He had gone through incredible hardships. Worst of all. he had lost that desire to live which is the best prognostication of recovery.
 Harry had spent two years out in the jungle. His father had insisted on that before he went home to marry Ethel and settle down.
 Ethel was the daughter of his fath- er's old business partner. The mar riage had been arranged" as the newspapers say.
 However, Harry was not to go home as had been planned. The company had other interests in Peru. Harry was to go to Lima as manager there, and Ethel was to meet him.
 But Harry could not leave Jim Sayres, wanderer and stranger though he was.
 In the fever which followed the de- lirium he listened to Jim's rawlings. There had been a woman in his life. Harry gathered She had been rich. fore, to make his fortune and to re- turn and claim her. He had wandered through Brazil and the Argentine, up and down-but he had never begun to make his fortune.
 On the fifth night the camp doctor shook his head.
 "The crisis has arrived" he said. ''He is not so i'll, but he does not want to live"
 It's that woman!" said Harry, hotly.
 There's no hope" said the doctor. He's slipping downhill."
 Harry went into the sick mans room. Jim Sayres lay motionless among the pillows; his face was deathly white and his thin hands almost transparent. It was evident that he was sunk in the final stupor
 A file of natives appeared along a forest path that led down from the mountains. It was a small party of bearers, proceeding toward the camp.
 The natives, grunting, deposited their loads in the clearing. Four, bearing hooded stretcher, came to a halt and set down their burden. Out stepped white woman-Ethel!
 She threw herself into Harry's arms.
 T thought I would come on from Lima, Harry" she explained. They told me that you might be delayed here for an indefinite time, and I didn't want to wait. Harry"
 T should have started a day or two ago, only there is a sick man here-a stranger, poor fellow, and I coul6n t leave him."

Umpta, umpta, sounds the bass

 grew jagged, As they beat and blew the air
 quite ragged.

A Jungle Meeting

Where is he, Harry?" asked Ethel
 "In that tent. But am afraid it is all up with the poor chap He is dying of jungle fever. His names Sayres- Jim Sayres.'
 The girl released herself from her lovers embrace and, when she spoke. her voice was curiously restrained. Let me see him, Harry. Perhaps can do something for him."
 "The doctor says there is no hope" answered Harry. But already Ethel was walking quickly toward the tent. Harry waited.
 But after a half hour he became alarmed. Ethel was still in the tent. He went softly toward it. He heard the sound of voices, and stood outside, not venturing to raise the flap.
 And it was Sayres who was speak ing.
 T shall live, dearest" he said, "be- cause I have seen your face again. Ethel, how have loved you all these years!"
 And I you, Jim," Harry heard her answer, and the mans face turned to graven mask. 'But why did you become engaged to-you have not told me his name. Ethel but why did you?"
 "Ycu didn't write. I thought you had forgotten me-"
 q had no right to write to you, said Sayres in a quiet voice, subdued by weakness. T only hoped your icve was true"
 "Oh. it is true, dearest" sobbed the girl. "I never cared for him. But when thought you had ceased to care did not care what happened to me. And now I am bound in honor"
 ''In honor?" questioned Sayres. Then what has brought you to me unless Providence means us to be hap py together?" 1 Jim, you do not know how good he is, how it would break his heart! must go-"
 Not yet, Ethel! Stay with me 1 single hour. Because I shall never see you again."
 l Softly Harry crept away from the tent. He called the heaGman to him.
 You will stay here with six men to accompany the white lady and MT. Sayres, wherever they go," he said i The grunting natives took up their loads. Mounting his horse, Harry rcde at the head. They proceeded for near ly an hour, till they were high up m the foothills. Then Harry stopped ana l looked back.
 In the clear air he saw the tiny tent, far underneath At the door he thought he saw white-clad woman's figure I standing. She stood a moment ana went back.
 l Harry rode on, the bearers following him. And suddenly an immense bur den seemed to have been rolled away 1 from his heart 1 Copyright, 1915. by W. G. Chapman}
