CHAPTER XIII.

In other years Bad Anse Havey re-
membered the days in that house when
the voices of women and children had
been raised in song and laughter. Then
the family had gathered in the long
winter evenings before the roaring
backlogs, and spinning wheel and quilt
ing frame had not yet gone to the cob
long ago.
The quarter-century over which his
memory travelled had brought changes
even to the hills. The impalpable
ghost of decay moves slowly, with no
sound save the occasional click of a
sagging door here and the snap of a
cord there, but in twenty-five years it
moves-and an inbred generation
comes to impaired manhood. Since
Bad Anse himself had returned from
Frankfort his house had been tenanted
only by men, and an atmosphere of
grimness hung in It's shadows. A half
dozen unkempt and loutish kinsmen
dwelt there with him, tilling the ground
and ready to bear arms. More than
once they had been needed.
It was to this place that Juanita Hol-
land and the preacher were making
their way on that October afternoon.
At the gate they encountered soil
tary figure gazing stolidly out to the
front, and when their coming reused
it out of it's gloomy reverie it turned
and presented the scowling face Of
Jeb McNash.
Where air they?" he demanded
wrathfully, wheeling upon the two ar
rivals, and then he repeated violently:
"By heaven, where air they? Why
hain't ye done fetched Dawn and
lesser"
"Jeb." said the missionary quietly.
eve done come over hyar fust ter hev
sneech with Anse Havey. Whar's he
att"
Il reckon he's in his house, but ye
haint answered my question. I'm Their
one for We ter talk ter fust. Hits my
sister we've done been sufferin' ter
consort with murderers, an hits me
we've got ter reckon with"
Brother Talbot only nodded. "Son. 7"
he gently assured him. I'VE aims ter
talk with you, too. but ! reckon ye
baint got no call ter hinder US from
hayin' speech with Anse first"
For a moment Jeb stood dubious.
then he jerked his head toward the
house.

ing gaze, while his brows drew to-
gether in a frown rather of deep
thoughtfulness than Of displeasure
81 asked Brother Talbot to go out, "
he finally said, because didn't hardly
want to hurt your feelin's by telling
you before him that your school can't
last. You're goin' about it all the
wrong way, an it's worse to go about
good thing the wrong way than to
go about bad thing the right way. L
told we once that We couldn't change
the hills, an that ye'd change first
yourself. l say that again. Ye can't
take fire out of blood with books. But
if we've done persuaded Brother Anse
that you're dom good, l didn't want
him to hear me belittle ye."
Anse Havey went to the window,
where he drank deeply of the spiced
air. Then he began to speak again,
and this time it was in voice the girl
had never heard-a voice that held the
fire of the natural orator and that was
colorful with emotion.
1.-THE first time we saw me We made
up your mind what character of man |
was. Ye made it up from hearsS-- evil
dence, and We amt never give me a
chance to show ye whether We was
right or wrong. Ye say I've never
dreamed a dream. Good God! ma'am,
| I've never had no true companionshlp
except my dreams. When | was
little barefoot shaver | used ter sit
there by that chimley an dream
dreams, an one of ems the biggest
thing in my life today. There were
men around Frankfort, when | was in
the legislature, that lowed l might go
to congress if l wanted to. l didn't
try. MY dream was more to me than
CONGRESSMAN my dream was my own
people: to stay here and help 'em.
He stepped over to the table and,
with a swift and passionate gesture,
caught up two books.
"These are my best friends" he said,
and she read on the covers, "Plu-
tarch's Lives" and Tragedies of VIII
liam Shakespeare"
The girl looked UP in amazement'
and she met in his gaze fire and ca
gerness which silenced her.
She felt a wild thrill of admiration
not such as any other man had ever
caused, but such as she had felt when
she watched the elemental play OF
lightning and thunder and wind along
| the mountain tops.

New York Cotton.

NEW YORK, Feb. i7.-Cotton was
lower today under continued scat
tering liquidation. The close was
steady at q net decline of IL to 12
points. Re,at.. ely easy Liverpool
cables were accompanied by some
foreign selling orders at the opening.
First prices were barely steady at a
decline OF s to points and active
months sold about z to 9 points net
lower during the early trading. There
was some trade buying on this de-
cline, while offerings were by no
meaas heavy or general and prices
soon rallied to within 3 or noints
oil last nights closing ON covering.
Another slight rally occurred dur
ing the early. afternoon on the con-
tinued heavy exports. but the markets
weakened again In the later trading
under further liquidation, and rather
more aggressive selling which appear
ca to be encouraged by talk of an
eaeier spot markt The close was
at the days lowest.
CONTINUED apprehcnsions of a check
10 the export movement through pos-
sibie developments In the naval war
zone were expressed during the day,
ana the decline in sterling exchange
mas also, encouraged predictions of
aiminished activity on the part of
foreign buyers.

Cotton Not Contraband.
Pointing out that Great Britain has
never declared cotton contraband or
interferred witt. its shipment, the
note says that imports of cotton TO
the United Kingdom fell as heavily as
those to other countries
"The general result" it continues,
is to show convincingly that the
naval operations of Great Britain are
not the cause Of any dimunition in the
volume OF American exports, and that
II the commerce of the United States
is in the unfavorabie condition which
your excellency describes, the cause
ought In fairness to be sought else
where than in the activities of his
majesty's naval forces"
The communication contends that
even though trade between the United
States and the Allies has diminished
the y1)lume commerce with ncaIral
countries has been maintained |.nd the
inference "may fairly be drawn that

ports anu the consequential result OF
excessive freights" have had much 10
do with the situation, but denial is
etered that Great Britain's activity
has brought about this shortage, for 4
is added that only ten neutral vessels
are awaiting adjudication In prize
courts. Great Britain declares she too

than other nations" from q shortage

has taken every step consistent with
belligerent interests to increase the
tonnage available for the transport

Destruction Of Vessels Mostly the
Cause.
The hops is expressed that the
United States will realize that tho de-
tentions OF neutral ships by the Allies
has not contributed nearly so much to
the shortage OF shipping cas- has the
destruction of neutral vessels by suh-
marine mines indiBcriminately laid by
the enemy on the high seas in the
track OF merchant vessels,
Up till now continued the note,
twenty-five neutral vessels have been
reported as destroyed by mine on tho
high seaa; quite apart from ali ques-
tions o. the breach of treaties and
the destruction of life, there is far
more reason for protest on the score
OF belligerent interference with inna-

(By Associated prss.)

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 17.-The first
effect of the United States cotton fu-
lures act, which went into force to-
day, was to restrict business on the
cotton exchange. brokers generally
desiring more experience with federal
supervision of the cotton markets Of
the country before taking on large
commitments.
Futures lost to IL points and clos
cd at the lowest. Spots lost one
eighth of a cent pound, but We're
lowered by the committee chiefly be-
cause the government standards used
today were lower in quality than the
old.
Old-style contracts have not been
traded In largely since the resnmp-
tion of business following conditions
brought on by the war, and therefore.
no great immediate Innovations were
to be seen. the new style contract
adopted some time ago having been
in accordance with the new federal
law.

The volume of business done was
small and traders spent much of its
time considering the changes made
by the new federal law. Speculation
was chiefly concerning the manner
In which deliveries would be influ-
enced. 1t was agreed that the first
effect of the new law would be to
bring about hitherto unknown uni
formity In quotations, methods of
doing business and Ia grades.
The disposition was to trade In the
