WOULD AID COTTON GROWERS
FIour-MiIling Firm Urges Its Custom
ers to Accept Deliveries OF Prod
uct in Cotton Sacks.

In order to increase the demand for
cotton, one Of the largest f1ourmiIling
firms IN America has directed its
managers and statesmen all over the
country to urge its customers to ac-
cept deliveries OF flour that are
shipped in cotton instead Of jute
sacks. Hitherto jute imported from
India has been used extensively for
shipments Of -four. both to home and
foreign markets The sacks employed
hold 140 pounds each. If the trade
can be induced to accept shipments
in cotton sacks holding 90 pounds
each, there viii be a marked increase
IN the demand for homegrown cot
ton, and the action OF the four-miII-
ing firm is regarded as a long step in
this direction. Anything that viii
improve the financial condition Of the
cotton growers, it is pointed out.
VIII increase the volume of their cash
purchases and thus benefit general
business conditions For this reason
1t is believed that the trade VIII not
insist on the jute sacks used hitherto.

CHAPTER v-contInued.

The two men had lost an hour
huddled under a canopy beneath the
cannonading of sudden storm. They
had silently watched titanic battalions
of thunder clouds riding the skies in
gusty puffs of gale and raking the
earth with lightning and hail and
water.
+ my God!" exclaimed the mountain
boy abruptly. 'I'd give anything eff
I could paint that"
Lescott rose smilingly from his seat
before the easel and surrendered his
palette and sheaf of brushes.
TRY it," he invited.
For a moment Samson stood hesi-
tant and overcome with dif1dence;
then, with set lips, he took his place
and experimentally fitted his fingers
about the brush, as he had seen Les
colt do. He asked no advice. He
merely gazed for a while, and then,
dipping brush and experimenting for
his color, went to sweeping in his pri-
mary tones. Samson, even though he
was hopelessly daubing, and knew it,
was sincere, and the painter at his
elbow caught his breath and looked on
with the absorption of a prophet, who,
listening to childish prattle, yet recog-
nizes the gift of prophecy.
"Thet's the way hit looks ter me. %
the boy said, simply.
That's the way it is" commended
his critic.
For while more Samson worked
lat the nearer hills, then he rose.
I'm DONE" he said. "hain't a-goin'
ter fool with them thar trees an
things. 1 don't know nothing erbout
tibet. I can't paint leaves an twigs
AM birdsnests. What like is noun
things an skies an sech-like things
Lescott looked at the daub before
him. A less trained eye would have
seen only the daub, just as a poor
Judge of horsehesh might see only
awkward joints and long legs in a
weanling colt, though it be bred in the
purple.
Samson" he said, earnestly, that's
all there is to art It's the power to
feel the poetry of color. The rest can
be taught The genius must work, of
course-work, work, work, and still
work, but the gift is the power of
seeing true-and, by God, boy, you
have it. You've got what many men
have struggled lifetime for, and
failed I'd like to have you study with
me- I'd like to be your discoverer.
Look here"

went to work. He painted out moth

cisely the right touch here and there,

CHAPTER vi.

Lescott had come to the mountains
anticipating a visit of two weeks. His
accident had resolved him TO shorten
it to the nearest day upon which he
felt capable OF making the trip out to
the railroad. Yet June had ended;
July had burned the slopes from en-
erald to russet-green; August had
brought purple tops to the ironweed.
and still he found himself lingering.
And this was true although he recog-
nized q growing sentiment OF disap-
prevail for himself. In Samson he
thought he recognized twin gifts; q
spark of a genius too rare to be al
lowed to flicker out, and potentially
for constructive work among his own
people. which needed for its perfecting
only education and experience.

deep down. we know that, unless there
is, there can be no such thing as true
art There is genius and you have
it." Enthusiasm was again sweeping
him into an unattended outburst.
The boy stood silent. Across his
countenance swept a conflict of emo
lions. He looked away, as If taking
counsel with the hills.
.sIt's what I'm a-honin' fer" he ad-
mitted at last. ''Hit's what I'd give
half my life fer. -. I mout sell

Spicer South harbored resentment, he
meant to conceal it, after the stoic's
code There was no hint of constraint
in his cordially. Lescott felt, however,
that in Samson's mind was working
the leaven Of that unspoken accuse
ton OF dislOyaIty. He resolved TO
make a final play, and seek to enlist
Sally In his cause. If SalIy's hero-wor-
ship could be made to take the form OF
ambition for Samson, she might be
brought to relinquish him for a time,
and urge his going that he might re-
turn strengthened. He went down to
the creek at the hour when he knew
Sally would be making her way thither
with her milk pail, and intercepted her
coming.
AS she approached, she was singing,
and the man watched her from the dis
lance. He was a landscape painter and

Then, We needn't tell me, because I

and confident announcement.

full confederation.
