Helene'S Married Life by Cure dcate

"mending" process was in action.
 Oh well, his duplicity was no new thing to me. It could be no new thing to Alice, either. And yet she deliberately chose to ignore it!
 The only explanation was that--in her shallow little heart-she had some real feeling for Tony. Incrcd- ible as that may sound, it must be true. There are lots of women in the world like Alice-idle, shallow women-whose "hearts" consist of small compartments with the "to let'' notice hanging out, and perpetually desiring new tenants.
 Alice's husband was such a dear too. His luck had certainly been out, in marrying feather-headed AL ice. Not that he thought so. No indeed! In some miraculous way she seemed to keep his full affec- tion.
 Of course, there must be lots of times when he was bitterly disap- pointed in his young wife. He wasn't quite fool, to be eternally hoodwinked. But Alice, full of wilcs and babyishncss, could almost always wheedlc him back into ex- cellent humor with herself.
 As l stood in the London railway terminus, the pawn ticket in my hand, sudden desire came over me to get possession of the diamond bracelet that had caused such end less trouble. Personally, I didn't care for jewelry. And this partic- ular bauble I had every reason for hating But-should I redeem it II might clear up the mystery con cerning it. And, anyhow, actual possession would give me power.
 My train did not leave the station for another hour. What harm would there be in taking taxi to the ad- dress upon the pawn ticket, and in- vestigating for myself?

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, April 6.--Thcre was re- newed strength in the local market for raw sugar today and prices again sold into new ground closing at IA 3-4 cents for Cubas cost and freight equal to 15.80 for centrifugal.
 There were sales of 22,000 bags of Cubas, April-May shipment to an outport refiner at II 3.4 cents cost and freight and at the- close it was said that nothing was available un- der 15 cents. There were also sales .of l5,000 bags of Porto Ricos, April shipment at t5.3O eff, and it was be- lievcd that further sales had been made on the same basis, while at the close holders were asking l5.55 eff.
 In refined sugar the demand is ac- tive with refiners making only small allotments. One refiner is said to be taking little business at 15 cents for the city trade, while another is asking 1850 with prices gradually reflecting the strength in the spot market. Most refiners, however, arc still out of the market and toll sugar 1 find ready buyers at prices much in excess of those quoted by refiners Trading in sugar futures was the lmost active since the reopening ol

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, La, April 6.-An easier feeling regarding weather conditions over the belt prevailed in the cotton market today and induced much liquidation of long contracts and considerable short selling, but late in the session there was sud den bulge during which early sel- lers were scared into covering in vol ume and from net decline the mar ket was forced to fairly wide net advances.
 The close was at net gains for the day of 2S to 41 points.
 The late bulge started on the min mum correction in the local stock of l0,496 bales and was continued on the report that Texas and Louis jana would be prevented from cotton planting this season because of the necessity of fighting the pink boil worm.
 On the first call prices were slightly up but liquidation almost immediately set in with short sell ing on the dry weather map and prospects of more dry weather to

"You--of all men, to pose as g saint" he repeated, giaring at Ira wis Lloyd. "Why! the world knows about your goings-oa. That old af fair that you think you keep SC mighy secret-"
 Travis Lloyd strode forward, ane made move as though to strangle Tony. His face was livid.
 "Liar!" he cried. Don't dare te say another word.'
 "Dare to say another word,"' re. peated Tony. "For her sake" nodded towards me-"I will dare anything. Your attentions to this young girl are an insult for you are not free. You can't deny it
 With s6pcrhuman effort Travis Llcyd caught Tony by the collar flung him around and sent him spin. ming throuh the open doorway. Tony shot across the landing, and went sk;dding hclplcssly downstairs.
 What happened afterwards seems like vague, ugly dream. remem. ber MT. Travis Lloyd getting me g taxi and cscorting me to the railway station. He was kindness itself tho visibly perturbed.
 "Try to forget the distressing in cidents of this afternoon" he kept assuring me. Think no more about them, and be happy. That young scoundrel of Tony Lascelles will trouble you no longer. I have put stop to that" s-t'
 The air of complacency with. which he made the last triumphant state ment quite amused me, though not for worlds would have let him sec it, And then my thoughts turned to the accusation that Tony hac brought against this man. Mr. Lloyd's "past"-thc mysterious "woman ir the case" again.
 It was all very odd, and quite un fathomable.
 As though he had read my

thoughts, MT. Travis Lloyd flushed uncomfortably. We have reached the railway station now. My train was not due for an hour.
 "If you don't mind waiting by yourself, I think I'll go," said my es- cort. "I have dinner engagement in half an hour" He hesitated for a moment. "I ought to explain that knowing you were in town today, took the liberty of calling on Mrs St. Aubyns, and she told me l should probably find you at your flat. l am glad now that I did go." "You have been very kind to me- I shook his hand.
 Left alone, I remembered the piece of pasteboard that had fallen from Tony's pocket. drew it from my handbag and examined it. It was a dollars and by this ticket he had pledged the diamond bracelet that had caused the misery between my self and Jim!

 Alice had entrusted the bracelet to Tony, ostensibly ito be mended."
 This. then, was the "nending.'
 The doings of Alice and Tony were unfathomable to my mind! Suppose, with Aice's consent, he had pawned the bracelet why seventy dollars was not sum that would count for much in Alice's ex- travagant career!
 It seemed more likely that Alice's original explanation had been true - that she had wished the diamond watch to be repaired and to that end had given it into Tony's keeping. Tony-in temporary need of ready cash-could not resist the tempta- tion of pawning Alice's property while doubtless assuring her that the

EARLY REACTIONS IN COTTON FOLLOWED
 bY SHARP ADVANCE:

New York, April 6.--Early rcac- tlons were followed by sharp ad- vances in the cotton market today with all months except May making new high records for this season The general market closed firm at a net advance of 3 to 43 points. The best prices of the day were made in the late trading on reports that the secretary of agriculture strongly urged prohibition of cotton growing in areas of Texas and Louisiana in tested by the pink boil worm.
 The market opened steady, but was good deal of realizing and selling for reaction after the big advance of yesterday, encouraged by reports of improving weather conditions in the south Trade interests were the best buyers on q scale down, however, and the selling slacked during the middle of the day owing to the pros poets for continued low temperature in the southwest and covering by some of the early sellers. Trading later became more active on the more serious view of the pink boil worm menace.
 Reports that the better tone of for elgn exchange was beginning to find reflection in export inquiry were circulating during the afternoon. Exports today 13,69S, making B. 1S5,4U1 so far this season. Port re- ceipts 19,917. United States ports stock 1,2052O5.
