Effect of French Lanuuaoe.

A writer in Scribner's Magazine
speculates at some length on the eff
feet the French language will have on

He says: "One of the most prolific
sources q neM E..!;s words IN !. language is

lean soldiers in France will absorb
many new ideas from their Contact
with the French and British; there
will be many new shades of meanings

heavy weight against his legs. With
strength born of horror and revulsior
he freed himself; then hearing nc
sound and feeling no movement, he
fumbled for the candle and with clumsy
fingers managed to relight it. Even
after the flame had leaped out and he
saw what shared the pit with him he
could barely credit his senses. The ma.
ture of his deliverance was uncanny,
supernatural-it left him dazed. He
had beheld death stamped upon Cobo's
writhing face even while the fellow
braced himself to keep from falling,

until he looked closer. Then he un-

less heap; he seemed to be all arms
and legs; his face was hidden, but be-
tween his shoulders there protruded
the crude wooden handle of a home
made knife to which loop of cord was
tied.
O'Reilly stared stupidity at the
weapon; then he raised his eyes. Peer
ing down at him out of the night was
another face, an impertinent, beardless,
youthful face.
He uttered Jackets name, and the
boy answered with a smile. "Bring my
knife with you when you come," the
latter directed.
"You!' The Americans voice was
weak and shaky. II thought" He set
the candle down and covered his eyes
momentarily.
'Thats good knife, all right, and

eh? Who does he happen to be?"
"Don't you know? Tits Cobo."
"Cobo! Cobo, the baby-killer!"
Jacket breathed an oath. "Oh,, that
blessed knife!' The boy craned his
small body forward until he was in
danger of following his victim. "Now,
this is good luck indeed! And to think
that he died just like any other man."
"Rosa! Where is she?" O'Reilly in
quired in new agony of apprehension.

The fellow continued to sway him
self back and forth, peering as if his
eyes were about to leave his head. For
q long moment or two he utterly disre-
garded O'Reilly, but finally as he
gained more self-control his gaze shift
ed and his expression altered. He
changed his weight to his left arm and
with his right hand he drew his re-

"What are you doing?" O'Reilly
cried, hoarsely.
The colonel seemed vaguely sur

"Wait! There's enough-for all of

he heard the click of the cooked

he raised his shaking hand to dash out
the candle, but even as he did so the
colonel spoke, at the same time care

How cobo Stood on His Head,

How cobo Stood on His Head.
All that day, or during most Of it, at
least, Rosa and O'Reilly sat hand in
hand, obliy!ous Of hunger and fatigue,
impatient for the coming Of night,
keyed to the highest tension. Now they
would rejoice Historically, assuring
each other Of their good fortune, again
they would grow sick with the fear Of
disappointment. Time after time they
stepped out Of the hut and stared ap-
prehensively up the slopes of La Cum
bre to assure themselves that this was
not all q part of some fantastic illu-
sion; over and over, In minutest de-
fail, Johnnie described what he had
Lseen at the bottom Of the we'll. He
tried more than once during the after
noon to sleep, but he could not, for the
moment he closed his eyes he found
himself back there in that pit upon the
xidges crest, straining at those stub
born rocks and slippery timbers. This
inaction was maddening, bis fatigue
rendered him feverish and irritable.
Jacket, too, felt the strain, and after
several fruitless attempts to sleep he

where he fell to whetting his knife. He
finished putting double edge upon the
blade. fitted handle to it, and then a
cord with which to suspend it round

and after receiving word of praise he
crept outdoors again and tried to for

O'Reilly, stupehed by the sudden ap-
pearance of this monstrous creature,
stunned by the certainty Of catas-
trophe to Rosa, awoke to the fact that
this man intended to brain him where
ne stood. In q panic he cast his eyes
about him, thinking to fake shelter In
the treasure-cave, but that retreat was
closed to him, for he had wedged the
wooden timbers together at the first

New York Cotton.

New York. Aug. 7.-There was a break of between $6 and $7 per bale in the cotton market today as result of better weather or crop news and re- ports of increased new crop offerings.
 The general list closed steady at a net loss of 124 to 40 points.
 Early releasing and reselling by some of yesterdays buyers were evi- dently inferred by quotations that the storm had caused along the gulf coast but had not been violent enough to damage cotton in the interior.
 There was renewed covering at the decline. This bulge met increased of ferings however and the market later broke very sharply on the more favor able weekly report than expected and reports of rain in Texas.
 The detailed report for the Houston district showed precipitation at only eight pointh, but there was rain in northeast Texas as we'll as along the coast and private advices suggested that tomorrow details might show the drought pretty we'll broken so far as the northern part of the state was concerned.
 These reports brought in larger offerings for early new crop ship ment on an easier basis.
 The weekly report inditated satis- factory crop in eastern belt sections and fair conditions in parts of Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana.

New Orleans Cotton,

New Orleans, Aug. "A wide re- action from the advance was forced in cotton today, the market feeling selling pressure from the opening to the close.
 Closing bids showed net declines for the session of 10S to 132 points, the market being rather irregular.
 Relief over the failure of the hur- ricane to cause damage in the belt. the heavy rains over Louisiana, hopes of rain for Texas and the favorable impression created by the summary of conditions over the belt this last week by the government, caused the sell ing.
 Extremely heavy liquidation came from the long side and to this was added large volume of short offer ings.
 Lowest prices were made near the end of the day.

 Chicago, Aug. 7.-Government an- nouncement that much actual damage had been done by excessive heat fully offset in the corn market today the bearish influence of welcome rains.
 Prices closed unsettled 161 7-8 to 162, Sept. and 163 Is to 163 3-8 Oct. IA cents off to like advance, conn., pared with "A hours before.
 Oats gained half 7-8 cent to 1 cent, the outcome in provisions var jed from 45 cents decline to rise ot 2 cents.
 At first corn prices underwent a decided break owing to rainfalls in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Okla homa.
 Big export purchasing said to aggregate more than 5O0,O00 bushels, gave strength to oats..
 Liberal country offerings and the fluctuations of corn had only tenn porary bearish effect.
 Hogs at nearly the highest level or record upheld lard and ribs.
 Pork, however, could not be dispos- ed of unless notable concessions were offered.
