NEW YORK. July 1.-Business was

Liverpool was closed, there was some buying

hesitated. waiting for the Government
report TO be made public.
The Government cotton report proved to
be as big surprise to the bulls this month";
as 1t was to the bears last month, repre-
senting about 3.6 increase in condition over
the June report, and an acreage consider

It's immediate effect was break OF 10 to

act for spot houses bought rather freely.
but there was a good deal of cotton for sale
and the demand made little impression on
prices
AS news of the figures spread through the
Street an increase of selling resulted and
prices at 11;15 were about "a points down

Holiday and Approach of Vaca-

Eass Selling Is Small

Y NEW YORK, July 1.
There was little feature in the trading
on Broad street Curb, the brokers there
displaying summer laziness, which was
naturally due with the beginning of the
vacation period on the 1st of July At
tendance at the offices and on the Street
was merely small, with many operators
and brokers having already arranged for
"a long holiday over the Fourth of July.
There was some liquidation and profit
taking sales, on which prices yielded
moderately, but the declines were without
significance. Stutz Motor, after a moderate
advance. declined about a point and was
about the only stock in which any out
side interest was taken. Oil stocks were
neglected and only a few of the low-price
mining shares were traded in.

fear. 1t was there-his jaw, hard, un-
smashed, but wet with blood. He thought
the bullet had struck him there.
"A Knockout" were his first words,
spoken slowly and thickly, but with a
great gasp Of relief. "A splinter hit me
on the jaw. I'm all right"
He sat up dizzily, with the girls arm
about him. In their three or four min
utes of forgetfulness neither had noticed
that the firing had ceased. Now there
came tremendous blow at the door. 1t
shook the cabin. A second blow, third
and the saplings crashed inward.
David struggled to rise, fell back, and
pointed to the revolver.
"Quick-the gun
With a gasping cry, Marge sprang to it,
The door crashed inward as she picked it
up; and scarcely had she faced about
when their enemies were rushing in, with
Henry and Hauck in their lead, and
Brokaw just behind them.
With a last effort, David fought to gain
his feet. He heard single shot from the
revolver, and then, as he rose stagger-
ingly, he saw Marge fighting in Brokaws
arms. Hauck came for him, the demon
of murder in his face; and as they went
down he heard scream after scream come
from the girls lips: "Tara Tara! Tara!"
Over him he heard sudden roar, the

him, her lips sobbing all the time: tiara
-Tara-Tara-" He turned her face to
his breast, and held it there.
1t was CHASTITY. Henry was dead.
Hauck was dead. And Brokaw was dead
"a thousand times dead-with the
grizzly tearing at his huge body. Out of
that pit of death David stumbled with
the girl. The fresh air struck their faces.
The sun Of day fell upon them. The green
grass and the flowers of the mountain
were under their feet. They looked down
the slope, and saw disappearing over the
crest of the coulee two men who were rum
ming for their lives.
TT may have been five minutes that
David held the girl in his arms, staring
down into the sunlit valley into which the
last two of Hauck's men had fled; and
during that time he did not speak, and
he heard only her steady sobbing. He
drew into his lungs deep breaths of the in
vigorating air, and he felt himself growing
stronger as the girls body became heavier
in his embrace, and her arms relaxed and
slipped down from about his shoulders.
He raised her face. There were no tears
in her eyes, but she was still moaning
little, and her lips were quivering like
crying child's. He bent his head and
