At the end of g month, one lovely
AFTERNOON, Mark Paxton, grave Of face
but with set resolute lips came to her
as she sat on the porch sewing.
Miss Tresham," he said, 81 am go
ing away"
She regarded him sadly. She flushed
as she met his steady glance. Then
she said softly:
Yes, think it is better that you
should"
What was 1t he read in her words
and manner that thrilled him!

and bent her face to conceal the tears.
you cannot accept any more bur
dens, but-you are the grandest man
ever knew!"
She grasped both OF his hands warm
ly. He saw lovelight trimming over
In those lovely eyes and understood.
She ran into the house, crying.
Hello, I've found you'll" shouted a
sudden voice, and in amazement Mark
turned to face an intruder. He stared
hard.
Why" he observed, you are the
man who stole my thousand dollars
two years ago!"
Better than that!" chuckled the
man-"the reformed man who robbed
you. A measly act, wasn't It, after all
your kindness to met"
II hope the money did you some
good"
1T didn't" was the blunt reply, ''for

and decent again, l never ceased to
feel ashamed. l went West and be-

my mean act. I've come to give you
back your thousand dollars ten times
over. You good, grand man-I1l never
forget you!"
And, called a grand, good man"
twice within an hour, as this strange
visitor departed after counting out ten
thousand dollars in cash, Mark Pax
ton took heart of hope.
He went into the house and laid
love and fortune at the feet OF the
woman he adored. He came out of it,
his arm around her waist, and her
eyes devotedly devouring his raptur-
GUS glance.

fifteen pounds weight took his fancy.
After running his fingers through the
coins in his trousers pockets a few
times he decided on having that tur-
key. Picking it up he entered the
shop. The shopman was very busy.

the only ones which have been largely
affected by this blockade. England

GOVERNORS TALK PEACE AND DEFENSE
 g Capper of Kansas Advocates Action in Bringing War
 to an End

Washington, December 15.-Peace, na- tional defense and state administrative programmes were discussed today before the governors conference here. Governor Capper of Kansas, who made the only set speech at the afternoon session, declared that the United States should be the most prominent figure in an effort tc end the European war. No action was taken on his suggestions
 The conference voted to meet next year in Salt Lake City at a time to be selected by the executive committee con- sisting of Governors Manning of South Carolina, Spry of Utah and Capper. Former Governor Fort of New Jersey was reelected treasurer.
 Governor Mccall of Massachusetts pre- sided over the afternoon session and made a short speech declaring that in his opinion this country cannot have an effective dual control of militia.
 'I don't believe, however, said the governor, "that we ought to do away with the militia until the federal gov vernment has something to put in the place of it."
 He criticized the provision of the Hay bill relating to the oath to be taken by militiamen who go into the service saying it meant that they must consider themselves reserves of the army for six years. He concluded with the suggestion that it was worth consideration whether it would not be better to do away with the states as instruments of national defense."
 Secretary Baker is expected to address the conference tomorrow with reference with the militia on the border.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Selling Movement Culmin- ated ipBreak on Report of
 Government Estimate

New York. December 15.-The cotton market has been extremely nervous and unsettled during the entire week. The selling movement which started toward the end of November, eliminated In a. very severe break right after the publi- cation of the governments estimate Of u,5l10O0 bales on Monday afternoon. In side of five minutes after the official figures on this years yield had been issued active months sold off fully cent a pound and before the close on Monday afternoon May contracts had declined to lLS0c or approximately s19 per bale under the high record of November 27 The pres sure of liquidation then subsided, and rallies followed which were stimulated by bullish spot advices and the announce ment that Germany had undertaken peace negotiations. May contracts sold up to l9-cent level. or about S a bale above Mondays low point, and closed tonight. at 18.74c, compared with 19.46c on the previous Friday. Uncertainty as to peace prospects, and the unsettled ruling of practically all other markets were nat urally considered responsible for the few erish and irregular ruling of prices late in the week, and seemed to be over shadowing all ordinary factors. Private cables have indicated a pessimistic view of peace prospects in the English trade and houses with Liverpool connections have been heavy sellers here on advances. In some quarters this selling has been attributed to hedging purchases in the south rather than to straddlers, but no change has been reported in ocean freghts of war risk insurance, and there has been nothing in the trading to sug- gest expectations of an immediate mar rowing of differences between foreign and America markets. Southern spot ad- vances have been generally bullish as to the attitude of interior holders and toward the end Of the week there were reports of an improved demand, which were accompanied by the appearance of IT oderate buying orders around the local ring. This has helped to absorb the liquidation of long contracts, brought out by the declines in grain and stocks, while the volume of general business has tapered off during the past day or two, as though traders were waiting for peace developments. or a further test or the southern spot markets.
