the game itself was worth the effort
 He should leave New York and go to i Newport again. He could not lose ground altogether because John De Haven had escaped him for time and he might make headway with her Dawes erred in returning to New port. He hated the place anyway and his only reason for going to the re- sort was a possible chance to advance himself with Barbara De Haven. For when he got there and made an at tempt to see her, he found the artist and engineer more than ever in evil dence.
 They had discussed the situation presented by John De Haven's depar- l ture. for the West; and, while they recognized his ignorance of the condi- tions made little real difference : whether he went or stayed in the East, they concluded that his absence might encourage Dawes to whom they attributed the basest of designs, the most desperate of schemes.
 He made no progress at all with Barbara, thanks to the manner Tn
 which her guardians watched and circumvented him. They redoubled
 their efforts without centering the
 attention of others upon themselves and were able in the fortnight that intervened between John De Haven's ! departure and the breaking up of
 Mrs. Beckley Hewitt's house party in /, blocking practically all of Clinton
 Dawes plans.
 ! The man was with Barbara only
 twice in that time and then the two
 men were along. He did not have a 1 single minutes conversation alone
 with her. And now she was going to
 Bar Harbor and he could not follow
 decently. Mrs. Beckley Hewitt and
 Barbara were going to- the Main re- ] sort for rest of a few weeks before
 the opening fo the camp in the Adj
 rondacks. They were to stay there
 very quietly. It created an impossi-
 ble situation for him.
 There was nothing he could do now
 but wait. It would be more than two
 months, he understood, before his

SHARP ADVANCES
 FAIL TO STEADY
 COTTON MARKET

New Yorw, Oct. 7.-Private reports that increasing banking facitiles were to be made available for the finan cing of cotton caused sharp advance in the market here today but prices broke again owing to reports of increasing mill curtailment and the lowest levels were reached in the late trading on most positions. October was relatively firm after the circulation of a few notices clos. ing at 2404 or 49 points net higher while other months showed net loss es of 25 to 50 points.
 The market opened at an advance on May, but generally lower in re- sponse to disappointing cables, fla vorable weather map, overnight sell ing orders from the southwest and the continued depression of the goods trade. London reported more ner- vousness over the coal and labor sit uation. The market turned firmer on more encouraging spot prices and private advces from the south claim ing the federal reserve board had ruled that cotton factors paper if ac- companied by farmers notes was el- igible for rediscount.
 Later. however, it was reported there was nothing new in the bank ing attitude toward financing cot- ton and prices broke sharply. Some trade buying was reported on the decline.
 Exports for the day were 598 bales
 making 516,139 so far this season Port receipts 27,174; United States port stocks 910493.

NEW YORK SUGAR.

New York, Oct. 7.-There was re- newed weakness in the local raw sugar market today and prices sold into new low ground for the year. There were no sales of Cubas, which closed at 7 IA cents, eff, equal to 826 for centrifugal, but there were sales of 200 tons of Java whites in port at cents duty paid, and 35,000 bags of Perus for October shipment at 1-2 cents eff, which is a half cent lower than the prices asked for Cubas of Porto Ricos.
 The decline in raws led so anoth- CT reduction of 1-2 cent in refined prices, which are now quoted at II cents for fine granulated at this lev el but that the demand, while lit- tie more active, is by no means gen eral.
 The futures market was fairly av- tive and prices were weak and lower under liquidation and selling by trade interests. Closing prices were 20 to 50 points lower.

chance at John De Haven would pre- sent itself again and weeks until there was likelihood that he could see Barbara. His mad infatuation fo1 her had increased with the hateful Interruptions due to La Farge and Randall and he chafed because his plans in their entirety had been hind cred. He found that he could make nc move for weeks in either direction
 Yet Clinton Dawes mind was not prevented from further perfecting his program. He thought of the condi- tons created by the unexpected de- lays. He had place in the Adiron- dacks. It was less than twenty miles from Mrs .Berkley Hewitt's camp. He rejoiced that he had the place for it would give him base of operatio tKat he had not counted on with ref erence to Barbara and himself.
 He included that in his new plan and sent word to the caretaker to put the place in condition for him. He would run up there later on early in the autumn. He did not know just what he should do but he would want the place in decent condition. Who knew but what Barbara De Haven herself might sometime be his guest there? Devilish ideas crep into the mind of Clinton Dawes and aided his devilish schemes.
 Also he would profit by the ab. sence of John De Haven from Wal Street. Now he would thoroughly work out every line of attack and have his assault ready when he re. turned. And, he swore, there could be but one endnig of it all-he would break John De Haven as surely as he came back in Wall Street and begar operations again. For Clintor Dawes had won so. many battles that he reckoned no man was his equa in contest of this kind. Besides the strategic advantage was with him for he had been preparing and would prepare more while De Haven was more or less at sea with noting tan. gible to work on his defense.

Clinton Dawes Returns to Newport

Clinton Dawes Returns to Newport
 Clinton Dawes was furious at the way things had turned out for him, He had seen his prey, as he had marked John De Haven, slip out of his grasp at a time when he was count ing on the success of his efforts to smash him and the De Haven Com pany.
 The day John De Haven went for the last time to Wall Street before leaving for British Columbia, Dawes had planned a series of attacks on the man he was seeking to crush. He had not been back to Newport since the week before. For he had deter mined to centralize his efforts on getting" John De Haven after which he would turn his attention to Bar bara.
 But Clinton Dawes had surprise that Monday. He had his program of battle all worked out and his plans were ready to begin steady and un- remitting bombardment on the man whose wife he wanted. His astonish- ment became anger when he found that the head of the De Haven Com pany was leaving Wall Street for the summer. It made his attacks useless. There was nothing left for him to do. He knew that De Haven was too wise to leave breaches through which an enemy could invade his interests The campaign he had worked out so carefully was now halted. He could do nothing whatever. There was nothing for him to attack.
 "But I can wait," reflected Clinton Dawes. And grimly he did wait for the return of John De Haven who he had heard, had gone on hunting trip to British Columbia.
 ."And, besides, there's Newport thought Dawes, turning his immedi- ate attention to Barbara. But the next moment he remembered also that at Newport were the two men who had interferred with him constantly the last time he was there. However
