CHAPTER 10.

Louise, with heavy, silver-plated
candlestick in her hand. stood upon the
uneven floor of the bedroom to which
she had been conducted, looking up at
the oak-framed family tree which hung
above the broad chimney-piece. She
examined the coat of arms emblazoned
In the corner. and peered curiously at
the last neatly printed addition. which
indicated Stephen and John Strange
wey as the sole survivors of a dimin-
ishing line. When at last she turned
away, she found the name upon her
lips.

They all turned their heads. From
some distance behind there came,
faintly at first, but more distinctly
every moment, the sound Of horses

sound. Louise gave little cry as a
at the crest of the hill. The narrow
strip of road seemed suddenly dwarfed,

He rose to his feet. The door had
opened. Jennings was standing there

"You are doubtless fatigued by your
Journey, madam" Stephen concluded.
Louise made q little grimace, but she
rose at once to her feet. She under

sent to bed. and she shivered little
when she looked at the hour-barely
ten o'clock. Yet 1t was all In keeping.
From the doorway she looked back in
to the room, in which nothing seemed
to have been touched for centuries.
She stood upon the threshold to bid her
final goodnight, fully conscious Of the
complete anachronism Of her presence
there.
Her smile for Stephen was respectful
and full Of dignity. As she glanced to-
ward John, however, something
flashed In her eyes and quivered a, tho

escaped her control, something which
made him grip for moment the lack

New Orleans, August 17.-Bear pressure was against values in the cotton market here today, and while there were pe- riods of steadiness. based on the unfa- vorable crop situation in Texas and the strength of spot markets generally in the south, the trench was downward, last prices showing net losses of IS to "A points,
 Tn the early trading there was scat tered selling which depressed the mar ket Il to 15 points, but this depression met buying stimulated by private con- dition report of 7o.3 per cent of the nor nal, indicating a loss for the last fort night of a 1.6 points. Accounts of the disastrous effect of the drouth on the crop in Texas and reports of higher spot market also helped the price, which finally went 3 to ii points above the level of yesterdays close. For awhile a comparatively steady tone prevailed, but in the afternoon. ina the face of a rise of 25 points in spot quotations, pres- sure was applied and a break ensued which carried trading months 23 to 2S points under yesterdays last quota tions.
 Spots were lifted to 26.25c for middling, or within Ac of the highest price re- corded in 1917.

Chicago, August 17.-Virtually complete stoppage of buying of immediate de- livery corn had a bearish effect on that commodity today and also on corn fu- lures. The close was nervous. with cash corn down 1Sc bushel and futures at 1hc bushel and futures at 11sc to 1c net decline, December, S122s to $11215 and May, $L09ss. Wheat gained 1c, clos ing firm at $2.Ol September; oats lost 1zc to 1hc and provisions finished mostly 10c to l5c off.
 Heaviness of the corn market did not develop until the last half of the ses- sion. Up to that time the absence of any important fresh news pointing to a Likelihood of peace gave the chief ad- vantage to the bulls, although at the outset a brief downturn in values had resulted from the fine weather condi- tions in every direction. All other fac- tors were lost sight of when, as if through concert, industrial buyers, in- cluding representatives of distilIeries. failed to take a hand at purchasing for spot delivery. Strong comission houses that had been conspicuous on the bull

 Wheat showed tendency to harden in value, owing perhaps to reports that an unusually large amount of winter wheat was still in shock and that there were consequent possibilities of exten- sive damage.
 Pronounced weakness in oats resulted from favorable weather for thrashing and from increased consignment notice Immense sales to realize profits for holders pulled down provisions after an upturn caused by fresh record break ing advance in the hog market On the break, packers were said to have turned to the buying side.
