on furlough to spend Newport Sab

of the Friday-nlght-to-M Monday morn

enough In his Office.
He insisted on DaphRe's keepina

CHAPTER xiv.

Then the Chivvises came back from
their vacation Unexpectedly early. They

Mr.. Chlvvis was afraid that his job
would be snatched from him Ii he
were not there to hold it down.
Clay called on Daphne that evening
and the Chivvises retreated to their
own room. But as they could be over
heard 1t was evident that they could
overhear, and the lovers found no
chance to say any Of the things that
frightened their souls.
One evening Daphne said to Clay In
as low voice as he could hear: "Mrs.
Chlvvis is growing uneasy, honey,
about our being together every eve
ming. told her we were engaged, but
she didn't seem convinced. Perhaps
you would let me wear that beautiful

Clay blenched In misery. "I-Pm

much on it; and last week l had an In
sulting letter from the jeweler. He
threatened to sue me and notify my
firm, and I-well, / had to send 1t

He was so downcast that she an
swered with mock cheer: "Oh, that's
oil right, honey; 1t doesn't matter.
After all, it's only ring. And we
have each other"
"But we haven't each other. This
way of living Is driving me crazy. I'll
be all right as soon as these hard
times are over and can make some
commissions. But It's so dismal to
wait. Couldn't we get married and
live on my salary2"
II could If you could"
He caught her In his arms so vio-
lently that she squealed.
The next day Clay telephoned to her
his firm had just offered him the
choice Of accepting half his salary or
turning in his resignation. It was
really impossible for two to live on
half Of what was hardly enough for
one.
Daphne cried a long while In her
room She got out her list of ways to
earn fifty thousand dollars again and
cried over that.
There Is much foolish and futile pro-
test against the nowadays woman who
goes into business outside her home.
But the fact Is that II Is her business

home first and she is merely following

FORECASTS CROP
BELOW 10000 OOa
Average Condition for September II
Placed at 54.6 Per Cent.

St. Matthews, Sept 23. under
present conditions with even a late
frost. "a cotton crop of less than ten
million bales is a certainty in the
opinion of ]. S. Wannamaker. presi-
dent of the American Cotton Associa-
ton.
A statement given out by Mr. Wan
namaker today for the association
sets out the crop prospects as !eE-
tremely gloomy. The average condi-
ton III the cotton belt for September
IL is placed at 54.6.
The crop is from three to four
weeks late, it was declared; the fruit
ing is very poor, the bolls under size
and opening prematurely as a result
of adverse seasons and diseased root
have shown that the lint yield this
season is running considerably below
normal.
Continuing, the statement asserts
that insect damage, which continues
with wide prevalence, has spread over
the greatest area in history, and will
show the greatest injury ever exper-
fenced; that the acreage abandon
ment will be the largest of any year.
,"Our records Mr.. Wannamaker
said, "show an acreage abandonment
of 9.25 per cent. not including aban-
ment from boil weevil and insect
damage. TIE department of agricul-
ture has no,ifled US that it will pub
lish figures on the acreage abandon
ment by October 2. With early frosts.
the report under this head will GER
tainly be startling. Even with late
frost a crop under ten million bales is
a certainty"
