Japan,s Rlsinq Cotton Trade.

Japan's exports of cotton yarn have
shown a large increase since the lat
ter part of last year. According to the
Japan Chronicle, report of investiga-
lions made by the Spinning associa-
ton, exports of various cotton cloths
during the first half of this year
amounted in value to $23,415,072. This
figure is unprecedentedly large and
shows an increase of $4,123. 467 over
the amount for. the preceding six
months and S1O,966,4S8 over that OF
the corresponding period last year.
The highest rate of increase was seen
in the exports to India, followed by
the exports to Siberia, while the ex-
ports to the Philippines decreased by
about one-half. as compared with the
preceding half year.

"No! All That Is Over" She Said.
And he rose abruptly and took few
quick, restless steps about the room.
'Why-What an imagination!'' he
exclaimed, forcing a laugh at last.
Really, Ethel, you're quite absurd!'
''But always, before we were mar
ried, you were SO kind, so thoughtful.
You talked only of pretty things. But
now, always it is the feet-the navy.
You seem interested only in their
plans, their secrets. S. Is it for
that you married me?"
Streetman's patience had reached
the breaking point. And at the ques-
ton he flew into a sudden rage He
turned a face like thundercloud upon
her.
"And on my side I ask why you mar
ried me? For lover l think
notv' he sneered-
His quick anger brought Ethel to
her feet
"But, Henry"
He waved her answer aside as If is
were not worth his listening to.
"Once, perhaps, J. thought So" he
said, talking her down like common
brawler. But now I hear it was
another man whom you really loved
a Young Irishman who went away

A Foe in the Household.

A Foe In the Household.
Brewster had hardly closed the doors
behind him before Ethel Willoughby
appeared.
"Oh, Henry! You surprised me-" she
said.
81 came before the others Street
man explained, because there is some
thing you must do for me at once"
About the fleet, suppose" she
said, somewhat YEARLY, as she turned
away from him.
GLOW did you know?" He shot the
question at her almost too quickly for
caution. But for the moment he ex-
perienced something approaching
alarm. But her answer treasured him.
Nowadays 1t is only of the feet
you ASK she told him. And she re-
garded him with eyes that were pa
thetic, if not reproachful. Once it had
seemed to her that Henry Streetman
was interested in her. But OF late she
had been obliged to admit ITO herself
that that interest had quickly waned.
Her handsome caller paid no atten-
ton to the obvious complaint that lay
in EtheI's answer. In the most mat
ter-of-fact fashion he proceeded
straight to the business chat was up
permost in his mind.
"You must learn at once from Sir
George where the ships at Spithead
are going" he announced bluntly.
>'Flnd out If they sail together, or If
they will dfsperse-and how"
As she faced him again there was
beseeching in her voice, her eyes, her
whole manner.
"Wait, Henry, waity' she begged.
Before we go into that, tell me-
when are you going to let people know
we're marriedw
Streetman remembered then that he
had a many-sided role to play. And
thereupon he went up to the girl; and
taking one Of Ethel's hands in his,
while ne put an arm around her, he
looked down at her in most loverlike
fashion.
"Ah, my dear! I'd let them know
now-this minute-if only couldv' he
exclaimed.
''But we must announce our mar
riage at once," she said quickly.
Announce our marriage -whyw
"Georgy Wagstaff told me just
few minutes ago that when said /
was in Brighton a friend of hers saw
you and me together in Paris" she re-
piled In tragic tones.
'You did not explain?" he asked.
'sThat we were on our honeymoon?
Not 1 kept my word to yon. I said
I was in Brighton" She looked at
him in a puzzled way as he left her
then and paced the floor in nervous
fashion.
"Of course, IT'S easily proved that I
was not in Brighton" Ethel continued.
"Georgy seemed to think you and
I :. WellLyou can imagine what
she must have thought. Oh! why must
there be this secrecy? I loathe it."
She sank upon the settee and stared
modify at the fioor-a most unhappy
picture of a pretty bride.
Streetman reused himself and bent
over her.
"My dear! We must wait until
can arrange matters with my family"

And then Sir George Wagstaff Joined
them, with his trusted butler, Brew
ster, in his wake, bearing a muffin
tray.
Ethel went gayly to meet her bene-
factor. At least, her manner was
blithesome; but her heart was leaden.
"Hello, Sir George!' she said.
"Hello Ethelv' They were good
pals-those two. The daughter of one
of his oldest and dearest friends,
Ethel had always occupied a niche
all her own in Sir Georges affections.

ner. until can come into my own
again we should starve. Soon 1t Will
all be arranged" And once more he
turned away from her-this time WITT
an air of finality-as If there were
really no argument against his vague
protestations.
"Soon? You have said that FOR
month" Ethel reminded him. tYou've
said 1t ever since we were marr1ed.
"Next week, thenv' he agreed In des-
peration. 81 promise! And you Will
learn tonight about tho feet?" he
added In the same breath.
"But, Henry, If do ask Sir George
and he tells me, isn't 1t rather shah

and"
"No. no, no-as- I'VE often told your

her objections were interminable.
And under the stress OF the urging
from his superiors his forbearance was
| fast reaching it's end. To hide MS
| anxiety and his irritation, he stepped
to the window and looked out.
| "But Sir George trusts me-" Ethel
resumed. Streetman stifed mouth
filling German oath while he listened
to her. "When he answers my Ques-
lions, she continued, ''he does so be
cause he thinks I'm just idly curious.
| He never dreams I'd repeat what The
says to anyone. It all puts me in a
! beastly position. Sir George is { loyal
1 Englishman, and IL he thought"
! Streetman would not let her finish.
i He wheeled about and said sharply, to
forestall even the merest mention OF
such thing as an informer alone
spy
"And you are loyal Englishwoman
and am loyal to-France."
"Then Nwhy do you pass yourself OF
as an EnglishmanY
Because it is the wish of my en-
ployers, the French secret service. II
is the wish Of France" he declared in
q grand manner, which he intended to
carry conviction with it.
'It's all quite beyond me-" she said
with hopeless air. They had had
many such discussions. And never
yet had she been able to understand
the reasons that Streetman put forth
with unvarying glibness. "Why should
France wish to know about our deetg'
"Ah! that do not know" he re
piled. ''The secret service gives me
their instructions. 1t is for me to fol
j. low, not to question them. 1t is my
work-uly future" He drew nearer
to her, and his masterful eyes gazed
full into hers. 1T is our future,
Ethelv he cried with apparent emo
ton.
But isn't France England's ally?''
she asked. II can't understand why
she should need this information"
"In times like these it is best foI
each country to know all possible
about every country" he explained
"You will be doing no wrong to Eng
land when you get me the facts
desire" He sat down beside her, and,
placing his arm about her, he drew her
close to MIN. 'You will find out to-
night about the feet?" he pleaded
But there was something about bis
persistent wheedling that made Ethel
Willoughby-or Mrs. Streetman-sus-
picious.
" can't help feeling that there Ii
something behind all this--somethina
you are not telling me-" she said
slowly.
Despite his confident air, StTeetmar
could not easily look into her search
ing eyes. He was uncomfortable

agreed hastily, as if he would forestall
any patriotic exhibition. "Still, one
would like to live with the luxuries
OF life. One day / shall make the
grand coup; and then to cease all
this" He broke off suddenly, for he
heard Miss Willoughby stirring on the
other side of that closed door "Sssh!

man said in a clear, firm voice, which
ne intended to carry we'll beyond that
closed door. "I'll wait here for Miss
Willoughby."
And then Sir Georges butler bowed
and left the room.

upon a discussion of any topic-ex.
5cept such as touched upon his high
office And there he was exceedingly
touchy.
"You think, then. there will be wal

Streetman asked him eagerly. He
could not do otherwise than ignore
Sir Georges slightly frigid reply to
| his previous question. II he felt any
resentment, he trusted to be able to
pay off the score in his own way, later.
Sir George lifted his eyebrows ever
so slightly as he glanced at EthePs
caller.
''That, sir is a matter should pre-.
fer not to discuss he replied.
Pardon me, sir, but as a loyal Eng
lishman I am naturally Interested"
And then Ethel stationed herself be.

that the least she could do to repay

They had no sooner taken their cups
from her when Georgy Wagstaf burst
| into the room.
"Hello, everybodyl'' she greeted
them. Here's Guy and his mother"
Close behind her followed Mrs. Ste.
phen Falconerand her good-looking son,
who was, as everybody knew, more
than devoted to Sir George Wagstaff's
vivacious daughter. "We'd have been
here earlier" Georgy explained, "but
Mrs. Falconer and Guy had gone to
a matinee"
"Silly show!" the blase' Guy added
in a bored drawl ''The eternal tri-
angle or some such nonsensew
VERY tiresomel' his mother agreed.
"And so noisy, Full Of shots and
pistols mostly about some poor
creature who'd sinned and repented."
That's the sort OF play disap-
prove of, particularly for my daugh-
ter" Sir George commented from his
place on the settee. Il am glad,
Georgy, that you were not there"
"Oh, I saw it last week" said
Georgy with mischievous satisfaction.
''And you ought to go, father. You'd
weep over the heroine. Frightfully
damaged lady-wasn't she, Guy?"
"Oh, frightfullyy' said Guy. "Com-
pletely beyond repair!''
II knew the minute she walked on
she wasn't a good woman. She was
so pale and circle-y, and SO beautifully
dressed" Georgy explained, as she
watched her father squirm. Shocking
her respectable parent was one OF
Georgy's favorite diversions.
''You mustn't talk this silly cyni-

people.
Don't worry Georgy retorted.
