COTTON MARKET
 AGAIN ADVANCES

Another moderate gain was scored Tn the cotton market today, it being the first time that the market has ex- hlblted strength for two consecutive days in several weeks The general impression in the trade is now that the worst is behind and that the easier conditions of the financial market will cause a gradually increasing strength in cotton.
 At the close today January New York contracts stood at 1865 cents net gain of 35 points, while March registered an advance of 39 points, closing at 16.44 cents. In New Or leans January closed at 15.84 cents, up 46 points and March 15.7S cents, 38 points higher Spots in New York were advanced 20 points to 17.3O cents and unchanged in New Orleans at Is i cents.
 On the local market today there were distinct signs of more hope full feeling upon the part of the farm CTS, most of them storing their cotton for future sale, whereas during the latter part of last week practically all wanted to sel lat any price they could get. Sales here today averaged about 12 cents for middling white cotton, with strict middling bringing up to 13 cents and low middling discolored cotton selling as low as 8 cents.
 The local price of cottonseed was unchanged today at $20 per ton, al though it was reported that some of the buyers were out of the market with an SIS per ton limit

REGARDING THE STARS.

Among the famous affinities of na- ture and history, such as Thunder and Lighting, Venus -and-Adonis, Ham, and Eggs. Romeo -and-Juliet and Bryan-and- Grape Juice must be in cluded Lyons-and Moran, the comedy stars of the Universal films. For six years these frolicsome funsters of the screen have been spreading mirth and laughter to every corner of the world which boasts a white sheet and projecting machine, and for several years before that they distributed laughs and chuckles from the musi- cal comedy and vaudeville stage.
 While each of the two stars-Ed- die Lyons and Lee Moran-is an ex- pert at comedy, theatregoers know them only as a team" Eddie and Lee have combined their efforts and talents since they were boys and they have reached that rare stage of per feet combination. Theirs is true sym chronization of fun. Whenever Ed die or Lee thinks of an important bit of "business' to create a laugh the partner automatically thinks of complementary trick or stunt to aug ment the fun or complete the humor- ous incident.
 Lyons and Moran have never re- sorted to horse-play or slap-stick methods to provide fun in their pie lures. They give audiences credit for possessing at least as much inteli- gence as they do themselves and even in the days when they were produc- ing one reel comedies they always had a plausible story in which the fun resulted from their natural situation. In their feature comedies they are able to secure the pick of the comedy successes of the stage and the work of Americas leading humorists. Edgar Franklin, whose witty maga- zine stories have made millions laugh, is the author of their latest comedy, "Once Plumber"

The mates face was stony as he
stood gripping the rail, but Tunstal
only smiled with the proper cynical
detachment Of the globe-trotter.
From silver case he drew a fat
and sophisticated cigar to adorn
that smile.

laughed Tunstal. "Pshaw! Come
now; are you going to turn me loose
on my own or will you steer me up
to the local tropc drink, at least?"
Nivin might have been seen to
vince trife, as one sorely tried,
and his melancholy gaze sought the
shore. Was there or was there not
the beginning Of a twinkle in the
gray depths? He would have denied
it-he afterward did deny it.

presence In the garden and her
changed attire. He was looking into
! her eyes.
They were wide and brown, deep
as grotto pools, and strange, with
hint of obliquity alien to him by
untold centuries. But he could read
AS they blazed into his own-he
could read their language. Terror
was there and bewilderment. But
pride, too-pride Of soul like the
chill purity of mountain peaks. And
from that height she feared and
loathed him, the british creature of
! another race who dared to lay his
defiling and incomprehensible touch
upon her.
These things he saw while he
stopped, while his lips pressed her
! bnd of a mouth. For he kissed her.
After a fashion he did kiss her
though the fume was clearly from
his brain as haze lifts on the chan
! mel, though he understood how alb
hol.ent was this caress unknown to
Orientals--beginning to feel pretty
much ashamed of himself. :.
But bit too late.
The same instant she broke away
from his hold, spurning him, and as
he reeled a bunch of hairy, great
fingers closed on the back Of his
neck.
He screamed once and clutched a
stout, hanging creeper, and chung
there while his cry throttled down
to gasp. Behind him he could
hear the click Of steel links; before
him the sunlight swan. Helpless
as a kitten nipped by the scruff, he
fought for life.
Because the chain was fastened
high and because the beast was
yokcd between the shoulders he had
come within the grip Of only one
murderous paw, which was mere
luck. But through a long moment
while his blood beat thick and his
eyeballs started from their sockets
ne knew the agony Of those that die
by the garrote. A claw tough as
metal ring dug into his flesh, work.
ing for tirmcr span, gathering the
cords and muscles, tightening slow
ly. He could only stare at vacancy
and dance upon the air and clench
the creeper that brought down
around him little snowstorm of
flower petals from the ouaking
branches overhead.
The creeper held. So did not his
collar when the eager fingers shifted
and found a purchase whereby the
half of his coat was stripped like
husk of corn. At the sudden release
he lost footing.
He was like one overtaken in a
nightmare, too faint and clogged to
will an effective movement for es-
cape. With safety a matter of
inches he floundered on the verge,
entangled by vines and grasses, tug
glng madly at his hip. And the
nightmare was very close, a horror
not to be faced, a red fury with
gigantic arms that came failing and
! picking at him and tearing his
clothes to ribbons as he groveled.
1t lasted until the ape took a trick
from the man, swung up on Llama
and from the vantage caught him
about the body with his feet. Then
TunstaPs revolver came free.
Crushed in that dreadful embrace,
he began to shoot.
When he stood up above the auiv-
ering heap and looked about him he
was alone. After the frenzy Of his
struggle the silence dropped in upon
him like a ram. The walks were
empty, the thickets were quiet, the
house at the end Of the Enclosure
seemed deserted. He turned to the
spot where he had seen the girl. She
was gone. He turned toward the
gates. They. had been closed. He

at all. Two glasses more Of the
golden arrack, one glass, even, and
the subsequent proceedings could
hardly have interested Mr.. Tunstal
or anybody else, except possibly
Nivin-Nivin, who had laid his in
nocent plot to that end. So narrow
is the margin Of trouble! He should
have blinked at the lovely vision and
slept peacefully, safeguarded beside
the square-faced bottle until carried
thence aboard the steamer and gone
on to tell another globe-trotting
yarn. But he was just snifter
short on that potent and undisci-
plined drink. And here was the girl
J.. "By jing!" breathed Mr..
Tunstal.
Truly by any standard, East or
West, she was very fair. Of her
face he marked only the oval, the
delicate bisque tinted skin that
shames mere white, and the straight
brows, not too broad for q tight
drawn casque of hair. A striped
sarong clipped her waist below the
jutting front Of her little green
jacket, and he saw the soft swell at
her throat and the fine, free swing
OF line as she leaned forward,
startled, downward looking. An al
Turing and timely apparitionl
Tunstal thought SOTO call it
thinking. "You pippin!" he re-
marked, as he pulled himself to his
feet by the table. He fumbled at
his helmet with some confused notion
Of beginning calamity, but it fell
from his fingers, and he stood flushed
and staring. "You pippin" he said
again.
She belonged in this garden, in
the checker of light and shadow and
exotic color, slender like young
bamboo and rounded as purple pas
sion fruit. She belonged with the
whole affair. She was just the thing
he had been waiting for. He took
an unsteady step, and another. She
made no move. She still regarded
him as he stayed, swaying. Through
the play of sun threaded foliage she
seemed even to smile, provocative, as
if to mock him for hesitating on his
cue; and at that he lost his head
altogether 49, what was left him.
Thrusting aside shrubs and creep
ers, he reached for her as he had
reached to pluck the rhododendron.
"D'you-d'you come seeking me,
m'dear?" he stammered fatuously.
Come right along, then, you beauty
and gie's kiss, won't you?"
He did not do it well-in fact, by
the time he arrived at the gesture
he did it very badly.
0MOKING ROOM audiences that
- had hung upon the fervid tales
of Tunstal, globe trotter; his
fellow passengers, instructed in speed
by the same-they must have felt
somehow cheated if they could have
seen him then. They must have sus-
pected the sad, sad dog, a wolf for
theory but a pug for practice, whose
snap and dash in outlandish parts
had been harmless enough, after all.
There is a technique to such af-
fairs. Even arrack cannot supply
the deficiencies of the amateur-as
Tunstal was and as he presently
knew himself to be.
He recognized her. His arms were
about the 1.-THE figure, drawing her
close, when he became aware of the
clean, carven-cameo face SO near
him. She was the girl of the Gin

upward from the evil decks. Yet the

reaction, neither amazement at her
