E. ST. LOUIS PROPOSED
 AS COTTON GATEWAY
Union Compress Company Plans to Build 40,000-Bale Capacity Ware
 house for Business.

Washington-Ea St. Louis will be made one of the cotton gate ways of the United States and an im- portant transshipment with ware house storage capacity of 10000 bales, if the plans of the Union Warehouse and Compress Company are carried through, as announced here by Rufus B. Wilson, secretary of the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers.
 It is the plan of the company. It is said, to take over and develop cotton compressing and warehouslng on a national scale and operate a subsid- iary corporation to aid in financing stored cotton. The latter corporation is to buy and sell cotton acceptance paper. If the full plan is developed, according to Wilson, revolution will be effected in the handling of cotton.
 While the principal warehouses will be in the South, the company proposes to build two warehouses in the East each of 100000 bales capacity. Ware. houses in the Middle West will be at Memphis, Birmingham, Northern Mis- sissippi and Louisiana East St. Louis, Little Rock and Pine Bluff, Ark, and Texarkana and several in Texas
 The largest warehouse will be at Norfolk, Va This house will have capacity of 300,000 bales.
 Cotton men are nearly unanimous in saying that, with the development of the plans of warehouse and in the discount corporations, a revolution will be effected in the handling of cot ton,' Wilson said.
 Under the plan the necessity for crowding the handling season into three or four months will be overcome It will also be godsend to the small banks of the South, with whom it is always difficult to meet the quick re quirements of the moving season"

table, chair and lunch basket. all in a single small load. for before 1t hap. pened she was far away in the land of Nod. When she awoize she was sorry, for awake the hot hours passed on laggnrd feet. At midday she ate then she tried to read, but by four fin the afternoon she was desperate for something to do. She determined to sleep again, and just as she was dozing off whisper cane to her--one of those carefully measured whispers that reach the intended ear and go no far ther.
 'Missisiv
 She turned What is it?" she asked
 "Gashly Missis," breathed Bathtub. and the agony in his appeal to her to go slow was so eloquent that she caught the spirit, if not the meaning of the word.
 She raised her head ever so care fully and looked out over the plain. "Ohi" she murmured.
 A quarter of mile away band of sable were grazing, and in moment she could tell that they were feeding directly toward her. "Oh!" she breathed again, "oh. you beautiesl"
 Closer and closer grazed the herd stepping daintily from tuft to tuft of fodder. Their black and white faces, the sweep of their arching horns. their brown bodies that glistened in the sun as though they had been groomed their nervous tlicking bobbed tails, their incredibly slim legs, combined all the attributes of fascination beauty, vigor, strength. motion-and filled the eyes of the wat chers to over- flowing.
 In the van of the herd stepped mighty bull his tiny hoofs liting high as though he boasted that his weight was really nothing. Straight toward the forest and Andrea he led his little army until presently she could smell the stable odor of their bodies. Her heart was beating like trip hammer. She tried to hold her breath. Her bosom rose and fell in a fiuttering undulation. The bull looked up and saw her. His horns went back and he squatted, hesItating on the brink of the mighty spring of fright. In his eyes was a gleam unbelieyably wicked.
 Then the crack of rifle, the thud of bullet in flesh, body hurled into the air by the death-throe and falling in heap. legs doubled up, neck out stretched, blood gurgling from nos trils and mouthl
 Andrea buried her face in her lap, trying to blot out the sight from her eyes, and sobbed as though her heart were breaking. She did not hear the wild cry of Bathtub, nor see his crazy gyrations about the prostrate brute, but when the white man spoke her mind leaped to meet the Justification in his words, without which she felt she could never have looked upor his face again.
 Stop your crying" he said sharply. When a sable bull gets IS close as hat. there's no telling which way he's going to go"

CHAPTER VI.

M'sungo led the march home; the donkey came next. with his nose glued to M'sungos back and with Andrea in the saddle. Clinging to his tall with both hands, more as drag-anchor fhan as deterrent, came Bathtub, and behind him the long rank and file. Andrea was sti'l snifiing n little. but her tear-stained face. like child's, was already cloudless.
 T think Marguerite is too funny" she said. Hes got his eyes tight shut and he's steering himself by his nose ia your shirt. Will you please tell Bathtub to let go his tall?"
 "Bathtub knows his business" re- piled M'sungo. but. as 1t happened. even as he spoke, Bathtub cast off one hand to receive a lighted white cheroot, a communal bit of property that had come up the line of personal attend ants, six puffs to boy" He never got a puff, for on feeling less weight behind Marguerite opened his eyes, looked straight back on both sides of his lean body at once. fiattened his ears and broke from the path at a dead run.
 The high cantle of the stock saddle saved Andrea from staying just where she started from. She was q horse woman, born and bred, consequently even while her amazement was at it's height, she wrapped the reins on her arms, drove her toes Into the bucket stirrups and straightened her young back into the long, strong and saving pull of calm desperation, for Mar guerite was headed straight for the leafy. low-hanFing branches of vast mafuta tree.
