COTTON AvANCES
 22-36 POINTS ON
 BUYING RENEWAL
Recovery Comes After Wave of Selling in Early
 Trading

New York. Feb. 7.-There was a renewal of the covering movement m the cotton market today and, aft CT selling at 32.25 during the carly trading, May advanced to 32.70. May closed at 32.G5, with the general list closing firm at net advance of 22 to 36 points.
 The market opened steady at un- changed prices to an advance of 12 points on overnight buying orders, but reacted several points right after the call, owing to continued nervous ness over foreign trade conditions and the unsettled feeling reported in the stock market. Liverpool was il good buyer, however.
 There was considerable buying to fix prices for domestic spinncrs ana after the early selling orders had been absorbed prices advanced on renewed covering. March sold up from 31.60 to $500 and July from 30.35 to 30.80, and the close was within or points of the best. The selling during the earlier trading was trading was promoted by reports of an easier spot basis in the south west, better weather for farm work in the belt and rather bearish week end figures, particularly with refer ence to spinners' takings which have been falling off steadily since early last month.
 The bulk of the trading, however, was supposed to represent a reduc- tion in the outstanding interest, in cluding covering of shorts and the Liverpool buying here to undo the short end of straddles.

Tanning My Husband
opyrght, 1919 by Tn. Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.

An, me; years have come and gone since that Thanksgiving years than I like to realize, although they have been happy ones and filled with the greatest gifts woman could know. And, while l look forward to more of them, think of those others with the utmost tenderness for they were the years of our happy recon struction. They marked the begin ming of our era of peace, love and happiness. .,
 For Crittenden has kept the faith, has been true to his promises, to me and to himself. He was won nobility He maintains that he has done it without effort because he wanted to do it, that doing it made him happy and content and glad. His life has been full and so has mine.
 A great gift came to us before the next Thanksgiving, a boy and a girl, twins He is Crittenden, Jr. while she is Bess. They love each other with devotion that makes their fa- ther and me very happy for their environment has been all that the most painstaking gardener might de- sire for such flowers as they are.
 1 heard Crittenden say to Jack Langley one day:
 "A man and woman never should have children unless they can set shining examples for them, unless, by George. they can prepare a suitable place and have it all ready for them For yod see, Jack, old man, parents ought to do something for their ba bies BEFORE they have them.
 Jack said that he believed him.

Which is a Long
 Trip for a Bottle

Belle Plaine, Kan, Feb. Miss Alma Lane of Belle Plaine in Aug ust, 1916, threw tightly corked bot tie containing q slip of paper bear ing her name and address, into the Mnnescah river, near here. Re- cently-three and half years after launching the bottle-she received letter from k. $. Baldwin, an engi- neer for the Puget Sound Light and Power company, Seattle, Wash, stating that he had picked up the bottle while boat riding on Washing ton Lake canal near Seattle.
 "Evidently the three and half year journey of the bottle took it down the Minnescah to the Arkan- sas river, thence to the Mississippi, out into the Gulf of Mexico, around Cape Horn and up along the Pacific coast to Seattle" said Miss Lane. "l don't believe by any chance it could made it's way through the Panama canal

A startled, worried look came into the eyes of Travis Lloyd. He frowned, bit his lip, and a queer, dull flush rose to his face. "l-I-- surely you were dreaming" ?" But he spoke without conviction, as though he would persuade me against his better judgment.
 "Indeed I wasn't dreaming!"' re- joined indignantly. "I was nearly scared to death!"
 "Take my advice and don't men tion the incident that starled you. This young fellows accident will be shock enough for Alice Anstruther's nerves, without adding tales of ghosts and 'apparitions.' Meantime, I'll return with my two men, and hunt about through the fir-planta- tions, to see if any poachers are roaming round. So set your mind at rest"
 He gave me an odd, embarrassed look. And thereafter my mind was so taKen up With Jim, that l forgot the queerness of his manner, only remembering the phrase: "This young fellows accident will be shock enough for Alice Anstruther's nerves"

CHAPTER VII.

A desperate longing came to me to confide in MT. Travis Lloyd to tell him of my hurried marriage, and painful disillusionment. But there was something in his face that held me back.
 And to think Mhat now poor Jim and l would be under the roof of Alice Anstruther-the woman who had caused our misery our es- arrangement! The thought was ut stcrly distasteful.
 Couldn't you-wouldn't you pre- fer to take the patient on to Thorny Granger" I timidly suggested. ".Al- ice is so afraid of illness-shrinks $ from it." q felt like hypocri.e!)
 "Alice must get over her selfish ness, that's all," came the grufe re ply, voiced in tone that he,d bat litie admiration for pretty Mrs. An lstruther. "This young fellows life is surely more important than Alice's convenience"
 I was silenced. But liked Travis Lloyd the better for his downright words.
 And I was thankful too, that in Anstruther Lodge Jim would at any rate be under the same roof as my self, his wife.
 It gave me an odd feeling to rcal- izc that no one knew about our re- cent marriage. N. :
 And in the meantime, until Jir was better, l must say nothing must remain tongue-tied on the sub |ject.
 I turned to Travis Lloyd. mustn't seem too interested in Jim And so definitely changed my tack

 It was only now that he had learn cd to appreciate his mother. And the saddest thing, as he often remarked, was that he could not make it up to her. That was only possible for Daddy Hayes, and he had grown old and would not change now.
 "Why in the name of time didn t you brain me, Bess?" Crittenden said one day, interrupting me as I wrote. He was referring to the time he had clutched and bruised my arms and then criticized me for wearing a sleeved gown at dinner.
 "Why, couldn't" 1 replied, q did not know jiu jitsu then"
 So, here is the story, blue pencilled, I confess, for some things are better If omitted. think what happened was bad enough as it was, and Crit tenden agrees with me. He even goes farther than that and condemns him. self right and left for the "atroci- ties" he calls his outbreaks. But all of It lies in the past and we know 1t will not come again.
 Our story, mine and Crittenden's s, we pass to you. Jiu-Jitsu is not in every woman's hands, nor is every man Crittenden. Gle insisted up- on that.) And now to prove to you that Crittenden's spirit is bravely up and proudly courageous, I tell you that the title of the story, Flaming My Husband," is his own.

Landing Sites in Alaska Sought
 for Seaplanes

Juneau, Alaska, Feb. 7--Landing sites, floats and other facilities are being sought in Juneau, Ketchikan and other southeastern Alaska cities for scaplanes which will participate in proposed air race between Se- attle and southeastern Alaska next summer.
 The Aero club of the Northwest, with headquarters in Seattle is mak- ing arrangements for the race Prizes totalling $25,000 may be of fered, according to advices reaching Juneau.
 Already two well-known aviators, Cliff Durant, former prominent au- tomobile race driver, and Captain Sir Arthur Whittcn Brown, nonstop transatlantic flyer, have stated they may enter the race.
 Alaskans are hoping that the air plane racers will break trail for air plane mail service to Alaska from Seattle. Mail to America at pres- ent is shipped as freight and weeks could be saved in some places if air planes were used.

watched Alice as the headlights of the car fell on Jim's pale face. But if l expected to see recognition there, l was mistaken. Alice was frighten- ed, shocked, amazed. But she gave no sign of ever having met the in- jured ma nbefore.
 She hid her face against her hus- bands shoulder, clinging tightly all the time to Tony's hand. As for Tony, at first sight of Jim, he went whItc as death. He posi- lively looked afraid. And yet I'd never thought ot Tony as q coward or q nervous man. He made no effort to assist in get ting Jim inside. Instead, he came up and caught me by the elbow.
 Do you Know that chap, Helene ?" His voice was strained.
 For one foolish instant 1 thought that Tony must have read my secret. And then l pulled myself together. 'How should know him! Didn't | you hear Mir. Lloyd explain how we found the poor man lying by the roadside l stayed beside nim while MT. Lloyd went to fetch car. That S all"
 Was it merely fancy on my part that Tony looked relicved!
 Alice and her husband swept me off into the house.
 You poor, dear child" the former gushed, what perfectly awful ad- venture! If it had been l"she flung her pretty little hands up in an expressive gesture -"oh, I'd nave run away! 1 couldn't possibly have stayed"
 I Don't be foolish, Alice," said her husband, evidently ashamed of this confession. You'd have done your duty, like any human-hcartcd woman -just as Helene did!" Alice had the grace to look abash- ed.

Crittenden added emphatically: .."You bet your sweet life, Jack that if we have a houseful, here's one fel- low who'll walk straight all the way and all the time"
 Babies" he called them! They are not babies now but romping youngsters in school. As 1 look at them, growing so fast and already so big, l wonder how it can be that I am their mother, for their father fondly tells me l am younger than I was. And l believe l am. At least l feel younger and 1 am thankful, too, Crittenden, ST. has read this story, page by page, almost as it was writ ten. Crittenden, Jr. and little Bess must never read it and know it is mine. For they love their father, and want them to love him. And as l wrote and Crittenden read, we were joyous despite the reminders it brought us. For we saw again how we burst from our chrysalis, how we found the bright and shining road that had been waiting for us all the time It has been a joy to traverse that road with him.
 by George, l would hear Critten- den say, "did do that Bess?"
 Well, not exactly that, Critten- den, dear," l would reply. You see l have toned it down somewhat"
 And then he would laugh and shake the sheets of paper at mo and threat en to destroy them. But ] knew all the time that he really liked the story better than I did.
 Too bad about mother, isn't it, Bess?" he would remark" Most

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Feb. 7.-After a period of unsettled trading around the opening today the cotton market firmed up and rose for material gains the motive power for the advance being mainly the rise in sterling eX- change, the London reports of con templatcd revision of the economic provisions of the peace treaty and the large export movement for the day.
 In the face of all the recent talk about foreign exchange checking eX- ports from the United States, the total foreign clearance of cotton to- day were 47,943 bales against II ,906 this day last year and of the total 24,820 bales cleared for England. Ex- ports today brought the total for the season thus far up to 4,010,47O bales against only 2,6S8,236 to this date last year.
 On the first call there were ad- vances of 15 to 20 points. The close was at net gains for the day of 32 to 37 points, March closing at 35.85 against the closing quotations on middling spots of 38.75, spots being unchanged.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, H., Feb. 7.Big receipts looked for next week as result of emergency railroad orders to hasten the crop movement, did good deal today to weaken the corn market. Prices closed heavy, 3-8 cent to 3 1-2 cent net lower, with May 1.29 to 1.29 Is and July 1.25 7-8 to 1.26. Oats finished 1 1-8 cent to IA cents down and provisions off ? 1-2 cent to cents.
 Notice that the federal reserve board was actively opposed to spccu- lation on margin counted also as a bcarish factor. Toward the last there was not only evident absence of demand but unusual eagerness to sell on the part both longs and shorts.
 Oats descended with corn and as consequence of possible importa- tions of oats from Canada.
 Free selling of lard by leading packer turned the provision market from a strength to weakness. Gains due to upturns in the value of hogs were more than wiped out

New York, Feb. 7.-While there was no further change in raw sugar prices the undcrtone is easy owing to the increasing movement in Cuba.

The market closed at ii 3-4 cents for Cubas cost and freight equal to 12.79 for centrifugal.
 There was no change in refined sugar prices which are listed at 15 to 16 cents for fine granulated. The demand continues active and much in excess of the supply, although with the movement increasing, more sugar should be available in the near future.
