Quest and Lenora turned away from
the window of the hotel, out of which
they had been gazing for the last
quarter of an hour.
Its too beautiful" Lenora sighed,
Quest stood for a moment shaking
his head. The professor, with q pile
of newspapers stretched out before
him, was completely e~ngrossed in
their p~erusal. Laura, who had been
sitting In an armchair at the farther
end Of the apartment, was apparently
deep in thought.

They found French, already conya-
descent comfortably installed in the
private ward Of O small hospital in the
picturesque New Mexico town. Laura
almost at once established herself by
his side.
Can you remember anything about

PRICES ADVANCE IN COTTON MARKET Heavy Buying Forces Prices Up Nearly Two Dollars
 a Bale

New Orleans, July 16-Heavy buying featured the cotton market today. forcing prices nearly s2 bale over yesterdays close. While much of the demand came From covering shorts there was also an lnslstent inquiry from the long side. In the last half-hour of business the ma ket displayed most strength and the close was at net gain of 31 to 34 points
 The opening was at the advance and at no time did the market make a ma terial reaction. In the early trading prices rose about 10 points on aggressive buying from the long side, which drove weaker shorts to cover Drouth fin soutb Texas and shedding in the eastern belt were given as the reasons for the bullsh feeling displayed
 During the morning the advance was wldened to nearly 20 points by a private bureau report on condition, which showed loss of IT points during the last fort. night. Reports of large buying of con- tracts by spot, people and heavy trad ing in spots in the interior during tbe last few days kept the advance roinr in the afternoon when the trading months al their best stood 36 to S9 points LID.
