So King began to write, in Urdu, for
reasons of his own. He had spoken

and had received no answer. 1t was a

So King went down among them

multiplied by fifty in a night. He want

King got busy with his lancet, but

And what kind of man must Rewa

to what only the West has endured

Yet what a fool he, King, had been
not to appreciate at once that Rewa

he not be? Were they not alike as

where such sights are common, but
strange TO that camp and hour Some
bOdy rose and struck him. and he knelt
like theN rest; hut when prayer was
oy er and cooking had begun and the
camp became a place of snyory smell,
he came on agaln--a blind man. He
was clean shaven, and he looked as
if he had not been blind long, for his
physical health was good.

he walled. "Where is the famous ha-
kim? Show me the way to him! Oh,
the famous, great, good hakim who can

down toward him The blind mnn'9

II was partly disguised by some gummy
stuff stuck all about the eyes. lie
stared nj the face again.
"Ismail :" he said "You?"
"Aye, Father of clevernessi Make

So King made great show of rub
hing on ointment. In a minute Ismail
looking almost like young man with
out his greet beard was dancing like
lunat,, with both fists in the air, and
yelling as if wasps had stung him.
"Alcee-aieeeaiecel" he yelled. 81

"What is her word? Where Is the

But IsmaIl laughed and would not

to him. He had to cement their allie

would not be able to do 1t by ordinary

ut him like the sea under the whip of

peared among them, leaving KING
alone. Then the mullah beckOned him
and showed him a letter he had crum-
pied in his fist. There were only
few lines, written in Arabic, which all
mullahs are supposed to be able to
read, and they were signed with
strange scrawl that might have meaH

RAIN HELPED THE
 COT10N SITUATION DURING PAST WEEK
Weekly Govern. .ment Re- port Says Temperatures
 and Rains Great Boost.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Cotton has improved in some localities says the National weather and crop bulletin issued today. Temperatures during the week ending yesterday averaged slightly above normal in the central and eastern portions of the belt and considerably above normal in the western portion, and rains helped cot ton in many localities.
 The bulletin says:
 "The temperature during the week averaged slightly above normal in the central and eastern portions of the cotton belt and considerably above normal in the western portion.
 "The rainfall was light in Louisiana most of Texas, portions of Arkansas and in a few localities east of the Mississippi river, but elsewhere mod crate to fairly heavy rains were re- ceived.
 "The rains caused satisfactory ad- vance in cotton during the week in many localities, particularly in north ern North Carolina, Tennessee, Okla hcma, Louisiana and southern Ala bama, but in most other plaes pro- gress continued unsatisfactory.
 "The crop is still mostly deteriorat- ing in central and southern North Carolina and is fruiting unsatisfactory lily in South Carolina on account of irregular rainfall, there is however less shedding reported in iterdemita and late cotton in South Carolina.
 Improves in Deltas.
 "The outlook continues poor in Georgia but some improvement is noted in Mississippi and there is not much damage reported from she'd ding and rust in the latter state.
 ''rhe week was generally favorable in Louisiana, but only slight improve ment is noted in Texas, Altho the top crop is now promising in few To- calities in that state.
 "The recent rains have improved the outlook in Oklahoma, but cotton continues in generally poor condition in that state on account of previous drought.
 Poor In Arkansas.
 Poor progress is reported from Arkansas, except that recent rains caused good advance on the low part of the central and northern portion.
 "Bolls are opening rapidly through out the belt, and picking has become general to the northern limits, while ginning is progressing rapidly in the more southern districts.
 Picking is about completed in the southern portion of Texas and is well advanced in the gulf coast seutions to the eastward"

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Sept 4.-Altho the market was steady in the morning ses- sion, cotton today had a downward tendency nearly all the time and de- veloped pronounced weakness near the close when it stood 139 to 145 day. AA9m points under the last prices of yester-
 Closing quotations were at net loss of 134 to 143 points. Liquida- tion from the long side was the main influence against values, altho consid- erable short selling was aroused be- cause of the better showing than ex- pected of the weekly crop returns at 10 o'clock not bearing out bullish claims of decided deterioration since Aug. 25.
 No great amount of selling was felt for considerable period, how ever.
 In the early afternoon the tone was steady but prices commenced to decline and selling grew in aggres- siver1esS.
 Lowest levels were reached in the last few minutes.
 The cotton market closed steady at net decline of 134 to 143 points.

New York Cotton.


 New York, Sept. 4.-7-Reports that yesterdays advance had attracted in- creased spot offerings and hedge selling were accompanied by sharp break in the cotton market today.
 The general list closed barely steady at net decline of 108 to IF points.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance on strong Liverrooi cables, fa- vorable war news, and Liverpool and Wall street buying.
 There was heavy southern selling, however, and the market soon weak ened.
 The market steadied toward the end of the first hour and there were ral- lies before the publication of the weekly report of the weather bureau. This proved very spotted, but on the whole rather encouraged hope that recent rains might add slightly to the crop in some sections with favorable weather hereafter, and the rains re- ported in Texas and Oklahoma today, probably encouraged the selling.
 The main factor, however, was the appearance of increased offerings from the south during the middle of the afternoon, when prices weakened. Stop orders were uncovered as prices broke through the low point of the morning and the lowest levels of the day were reported in the late trad ing. The selling for southern account was reported more active than at any

TRADING STOCKS BOOSTED BY THE
 FINE REPORTS
Weekly Weather Report In dicating Mixed Crop Con- ditions Responsible.

New York, Sept. 4.-Trading in stocks today assumed wider scope but the market developed an irregu- lar trend immediately after the firm opening, the usual leaders closing mostly at moderate recessione.
 The weekly report coming on yes terday's adverse showing for cotton, indicated mixed crop conditions, cen tral and eastern states being benfit- ted, while the sections west of the Rockies remained too dry.
 For the first time in fortnight, 'call money eased a trifle, the rate falling to 5 3-4 per cent, in the af- ternoon when most of the days re- quirements had been met.
 United States steel, Mexican pertc- leum, Reading and Souther railway were the principle contributors to the days business.
 Steel moved in one point radius, approximating the high record of the preceding session, but closed at loss of 34 of a point.
 Early gains of fractions to 2 points in other industrials, equipments, cop pers, as we'll as shippings and oils, were largely if not wholly relinquish- ed at their end.
 Sales amounted to 550,00o shares. Aside from their steady tone, domes- tic and foreign bonds were without feature.
 Total sales (par value) aggregated $7,575, ,000.
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

Chicago Grain.


 Chicago, Sept. 4.-Misgivings in regard to possible serious damage by frost made the corn market today average higher. Prices closed unsettled, Sept. 155 Is % 155 IA, Oct. 156 3-4 to 1856 7-S and the final range as a whole 5-S off to 7-8 up compared with "A hours be- fore.
 Oats advanced 1-2 @5-S to 7-S cents net.
 The outcome in provisions varied from 10 cents decline to gain of 1 2 cents.
 The greater strength which corn developed late was due largely to the fact that according to the report he bulk of the crop would not be safe from frost damage before Sept. Is or 20
 Attempts to realize profits, though, brought about rather sharp reaction in the last 30 minutes of the day.
 Government inquiry put firmness into oats. Besides, receipts were not large, and Canadian crcp estimates were bullish.
 Provisions hardened little owing to the monthly stock report, which showed a decrease of about 19,OOO,- 900 pounds of meats and 2,OOO,OOO pounds of lard.
