If memory did not return to him perhaps we would go through sec ond ceremony of marriage, he and l. For period. I--his legal wife would pass before the world as his fiance! That would be odd. 1 smiled at the thought of such thing.
 But Jim had not yet asked me. Perhaps he never would. What, then, should I dol?
 | Under those circumstances should I tell him of our marriage? Should I bring recollection back to. him? ] My pride revolted at the thought. { No, Jim must love me--or I'd never claim him.
 ! l gained my room. The place look cd warm and cosy. A great bunch of violets and carnations stood on a little table near my bed. And in the grate q fire was burning, making q cheerful, cracking sound. This must be Alice's doing-Alice, repentant of her ways, and anxious to make peace with me.
 l An envelope on the mantelpiece caught my attention. It was ad- dressed in rather shaky writing, to-: Miss Helene Beauclare."
 Jim's writing! I darted forward, and with trembling fingers opened 1 the letter. And this is what I read: {:
 Dear, beautiful Helene-I have no right to call you so-except the right of loving you. It seems to me as though I'd loved you all my life. keep longing for YOU to be with me and I'm miserable without you. That's the Real Thing. isn't it? (And don't forget the capitals.) q can truly say that it's been worth my accident and illness to have met you dear. Yes, except for the anxiety it has caused my mother, and the trouble to your friends. love you, Helene. The words sound stupid and inadequate. But they are genuine. When one loves great deal--as l do--one cannot be grand iloquent.
 Helene, tomorrow won't you tell

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

A variety of bcarish influences made soft market in cotton today and prices were depressed from the openIng. Very little support came from any quarter and lowest levels were reached toward the close which showed losses for the day of 53 to 73 points.
 The opening was poor on lower cables than due and private reports of fairly favorable weather condi tions over the belt which official re- turns afterwards confirmed. Selling increased on expectations of rain for Texas from the low area shown on the weather map over Mexico am. on the official predictions of dry weather for the eastern half of the belt, where dry weather is needed. Steady selling was in evidence all day on more or less pessimistic view of financial conditions in gen eral and the market reached it's lowest levels on talk of intervention in Mexico

Helene's Married Life
By May Christie

Alice's little air of know-it-al] might have been amusing any othc, time.
 But the present situation wasn't funny. Upon the contrary.
 However, speculation was of nc avail. And, besides, I didn't want to send poor Mir. Anstruther off with a worried, anxious mind.
 Alice, however, had no scruples on that point. In fact, l believe she took an actual pleasure in alarming him. Her vanity was piqued that he should have planned this trip. with out asking hcr-his adored and spoil ed young wife-to accompany him.
 And so she made the most of my adventure. She foretold all sorts of happenings-some wildly impossible but none calculated to soothc the mind of a departing husband.
 With an air of martyrdom, she helped him with his packing. And then. when the last article was stow ed away, she suddenly burst into dra- matic tears.
 Whether this was the direct result of fit of conscience over her recent filtration with Tony, l do not know. But it worried poor MT. Anstruthe. dreadfully.
 He took me aside and asked me if l didn't consider it his duty to aban- don his trip to Mexico and stay at home with Alice.
 Certainly not!" said I. annoyed with Alice and her selfishness. "We'll get along perfectly. I couldn't hear of any postponement of your trip"
 It was long after midnight when I went to bed. I wondered how Jim was, and if he were asleep? Dea, Jim.
 How love can change the whole face of the universe! I loved him so. longcd for the day of his complete recovery, the day when we should be reunited.
 He had loved me as his wife, He lene St. Aubyns. Now as Helene Beauclare-and with no apparent re- collection of our marriage--he loved me once again!
