Smith changed his street clothes
leisurely after Starbuck had gone, and
when he went downstairs stopped at
the desk to toss his room key TO the
clerk.
The hotel register was lying open on
the counter, and from force of habit he
ran his eye down the list of late ar
rivals. At the end of the list, in
sprawling characters upon which the
ink was yet fresh, he read his SEN
tence, and for the first time in his life
knew the meaning of panic fear. The
newest entry was:
Josiah HIGHLANDER and daughter,
Chicago"
Smith was not mlsled by the place
name. There was only one Josiah
HIGHLANDER" in the world for him, and
he knew that the Lawrenceville mag
nate, in registering from Chicago, was
only following the example of those
who, for good reasons or no reason,
use the name of their latest stopping
place for registry address.

FORTUNES MADE IN COTTON
Imperial Valley Of California, a Desert
Fifteen Years Ago, Is Now Great
Field of White.

In the Imperial valley of California
they are making fortunes raising cot
ton this year-sudden dramatic for
tunes. Everything about the Imperial
valley seems to have the dramatic
quality; its story would make a good
moving picture. In 1900 1t was Bills
tering desert where Il buzZard could
scarcely live. And then the govern
ment harnessed the Colorado river and
the desert was veined with irrigating
canals, and plowed and planted, and
for the first time since the primordial
floods subsidized, a tint of green and
growing things spread over the val
ley.
Cotton arrived in 1906. 1t came in
the shape of box of seed under the
seat of a farm wagon driven by q
Texas hOmesteader. He asked why
they didn't raise cotton thereabouts.
and they said because Il wouldn't grow.
And so, being from Texas, which 10
something like Missouri, he planted his
little store Of cottonseed, and it came
up and opened Its snowy bolls to the
wonderment of all beholders. Further
more. the next year 1t came up and
bore again without another planting.
The Texans little cotton field spread
like drop of butter on hot pan. 1t
clothed the barrenness Of the desert In
Its fleece, And it brought to the men
who owned the land more hard iron
dollars than ever they had seen be-
fore. There are $4,000 acres of cotton
in the Imperial valley this year and
there are going to be many more next
year. And even better than the cot
ton crop is the human crop, which this
desert has borne; for 1t Is peopled by
men who own their own farms and
are prosperous.

1t had been a day of nagging distrac-
lions. A rumor had been sent afOot-
10y Stanton, as Smith made no doubt
limiting that the new dam would be I'M
safe when 1t should be completed; that
its breaking, with the reservoir behind
1t, would carry death and destruction
90 the lowlands and even to the city.
Timid stockholders, seeing colossal
damage suits in the bare possibility,
had taken the alarm, and Smith had
spent the greater part Of the day in
trying TO calm their fears. For this
cause, and some others, he was on the
ragged edge when Baldwin dropped in
TN his way home from the dam and
protested.
Look here, John; you're OVERRIDING
this thing world without end! You
break 1t off short, right now, and go
home with me and get your dinner and
good nights rest. Get your coat and
hat and come along, or I'll rope you
down and hog-tie you"
For once in n way, Smith found that
there was no fight left in him, and he
yielded, telling himself that another
acceptance of the Baldwin hospitality,

A ReprIeve.

Smiths blood ran cold and there was
a mOmentary attack of shocked con.
sternation, comparable to nothing that
any past experience had to offer. But
there was no time to waste in curious
speculatiOns as TO the why and where.

lander would do if discovery came. For
so long time as should be consumed
in telegraphing between Brewster and
Lawrencevllle, Smith might venture to
call himself free man. But that was
the limit.
One minute later he had hailed O
passing autocab at the hotel entrance
and the four miles between the city
and Colonel Baldwin's ranch had been
tossed to the rear before he remem.

Notwithstanding all that had come
to pass notwithstanding, also, that his
footing in the Baldwin household had
come to be that of family friend
Smith could never be quite sure of the
bewitchingly winsome young woman
who called her father "colonel-daddy.'
Her pose, If it were pose, was the at
titude of the entirely unspoiled child Of
nature and the wide horizons. Wher
he was with her she made him think

residing AZ 300 Fifth Avenue, Highland Park
He treated the ulcer himself with saves and
other So-called remedies and consulted
number of doctors and spccia lists, without
in the least relieving the trouble. however
Almost without exception these specialists
pronounced the sore a cancer. Mr.. Bishop
visited wcll-known hospital, but hcsitatcd
about placing himself under treatment on
account of the very large fee which
mentioned. II was then that he placed him
self under the care of Dr. NJ. Milton Talkin
and after one month his condition had
greatly improved that he was able to dis
continue DIR. Talkin'S treatment. To day
there is hardly mark visible where there
