It was neces- sary for our own protection against the cold unhappiness that we both felt. Crittenden felt it just as l did, I made sure of that-not to say that l purposely produced that eff feet but that 1 ascertained .itz to be a fact.
 Gee, but Chester and Marjorie are lucky" Crittenden said one night after they had dined with us.
 "Yes, they are very happy to- gether," I agreed. "They are in love with each other."
 And never at war at all, so far as 1 can see," he said, half sadly.
 "No, he adores her, is good to her, and she loves and admires him."
 "And-they've got a little kid, said Crittenden.
 I said nothing. That remark was too strong a reminder of what Ches- ter, Jr., had brought to me at the hands of my husband after he had seen him.
 "Have you changed your mind on that, Bess? ?" he asked presently.
 "No, I'm sure 1 never shall change it." l answered, as steadily as my inward agitation would permit.
 "What!"
 My viewpoint is just what it was before," I insisted.

COVERING BY NEAR
 SHORTS IS FEATURE
 or COTTON MARKET

New York, Jan. 19.-The feature in the cotton market was covering by near month shorts and the trans ferring of short hedges from near to late positions. Operations of this sort were probably stimulated by the near approach of final maturity for January and apprehensions of labor troubles in the port. Otherwise trading was comparatively quiet and late months were influenced by sell ing against near month purchases, with the market closing barely steady net 37 points higher to 32 points lower
 The market opened at unchanged prices to an advance and sold higher during the early trading in response to relatively firm cables and re ports that British trade interests had been favorably impressed by the lifting of the Russian blockade. The strong opening of the stock market was also an encouraging feature, but the initial advance in that quarter was not maintained and cotton soon turned easier under scattered south cln selling and realizing. Another spurt of covering by near months shorts led to rallIcs during the ait ernoon but this met some near month realizing. Rallies were not fully maintained, with May and latter de liveries, showing net losses of to < nointS for the day.

 Crittenden had switched off the light at the ceiling, leaving only tn. softened, diffused glow from the floor lamp. I could, see his face dimly in the shadows. It seemed greatly softened. I noticed, too, that, as he talked, his voice was tender for the first time in months. Maybe, I told myself, leaven was at work somewhere within him.

For several weeks we lived in q sort of peace. I say sort of peace, for it was not the kind of peace that should exist in home between a man and his wife. We had no quarrels but we had no pleasures. A barrier,' grim and hateful and formidable stood reared high be- tween us, and while each was polite on either side of the barrier, neith- CT crossed it.

 I was not happy, for from it, and I have said that l wanted the hap piness that I knew was mine by right. I wanted him, too, Critten- den, the author of my unhappiness, for, in spite of the things he had said, the things he had done, l could find without difficulty warm spark of love for him in my heart. There were times when the spark slumbered duly, when ashes shut out the red glow of it, but it was still there, still alive. And l, because was woman, knew what little thing would fan it into bright blaze; but, again because l was a woman, I realized full well that it would deman dits fuel in order to burn on as it should.
