"He lent me five hundred dollars
when I didn't know where else to get

tract-a big commission from old Mrs.

in advance at what was coming to
Clay. "And then I borrowed thou
sand from him. We owe him that
now"
Clay was as wroth as she had
wished. He took out a little book.
'Well, I'll give you a check for that
amount-or more. And you can pay
Duane off with interest. I won't
have you owing him money"
"FYou won't have !" Daphne Knocked

'Senior partner ~ Clay rallied. "Tm

Daphne. You're soaring away GUS

A young woman with bridal eye

blunder out sheepishly. He did not

Telford, Pa, and the molasses began
to run out, people came by scores, on

and salvaged some hundreds Of gal

men plugged the opening and left
dozens of disappointed ones waiting
to get at the outflow.

CHAPTER XVI.

Leila was determined to endure
everything that might be necessary to
regain her beauty. She would 60
through any ordeal of knives or plas-
ter casts or splints or medicines for
that. She was quite grim about it.
Her resolution extended to the spend
ing of as much of Bayard's money as
might be necessary on surgeons fees
and doctors bills. IL she bankrupted
Bayard 1t would be with the tenderest
motives. - s
Five times she went to the operat-
ing table, made that internal journey
into etherland, knowing what after
hnguishes waited her, what retching
and burning and bleeding. She braved
death again and again, took long
chances with covering bravado. And
all for Bayard's sake.
One morning when Bayard reached
his office after narrowing all-night
vigil at Leila's side he was just falling
asleep over the first mail when his
telephone snarled. He reached for 1t
with alarm. A voice doomed in his
ear: - ,'
"Ah you thah?"
ssYes."
Keep the line, please Now, you all
through, sir?" ~
Then growI replaced the boom, a
growl that made the receiver rattle:
"Ah you than, Mr.. Kip7 This is
Colonel Marchmont. dare say you
remember our conversation about
those damned contracts with Weth-
erell. A little farther discussion
might not be amiss-if you could
make it perfectly convenient to drop
ovvah at, say, quawtah pahst fab ?
Good shall expect you at that
ah."
Bayard pondered. What new per-
secution was fate preparing2 AS he
went to the Office, he bought an eve
ming paper. A heavily headed cable
gram announced that the lahorers in
the British munftion works were strik-
ing or threatening to strike. A CLEAN

eye. When he reached the desk of
Colonel Marchmont he looked I'M

we might see our way to renewing
those contracts at a reasonable figure
Say at 25 per cent reduction from
the terms you quoted"
Bayard smiled and shook his head.
He bluffed the buffer. 1.-The prices we
quoted included only a fair profit,
colonel. Since then materials have
been going up in price every minute,
owing to the demand from abroad.
And the home market is booming. We
can sell all our product here, and
more, too, than we can make"
Colonel Marchmont squirmed, but
he was soldier and loved q good
counter-attack. He smiled as he
squirmed. Wetherell was avenged

tracts at higher price than he had
made The changing times changed
everything; yesterdays exorbitance

COTTON MARKETS
Cold Spell and Frost Occasion
for Fresh 0utburSt of
Strength in Market.
Tuesday Atternoon. AprII %

HNCAa1 NAAN AAoNAAH @hhAAA ~.
The cool spell In the cotton belt
proved OF more intensity than antici-
pated and the result was another rise
In values to new levels for the move
ment. Not much rain fell, although
there were some in Oklahoma ana
eastward over the upper sections, when
were followed by clearing and consid-
cradle frost, with some ice reported.
But for the Cloudiness at many sta
tons more frost would have been re-
ported. The low temperatures, reach
ing freezing and below at some places
did about as much harm, however, as
If there had been frost. Probably the
chief effect of the cold was to delay
termination, for the amount OF cotton
out Of the ground in the exposed sec
tons was not large. The indications
we're for more cold in the eastern belt
tonight and probably frost, but else
where clear and warmer.
The market was In good position for
the upturn, for there was optimistic
political news, and with the holiday
Monday in the domestic speculative
markets shorts were disposed to cover
for fear Of further developments over
the interim.
First prices were firm and higher
and they were the lowest Of the SEES
sion, New July opened at 26.0bc and
27.10c was high, considerable realizing
being done on the bulge, October
started at 25.O5c and sold as high as
25. SOC, closing moderately lower. Trad
ing was fairly active and the weather
news more than offset the bearishness
Of the weekend statistics.
In the spot department firmness pre-
vailed and in most Centers quotations
were higher. New Orleans made none,

about 400 bales. Memphis elevated
