CairO.-Buslness men in Egypt, eS-
pecially foreigners, pay very little at
tentiOn to the political situation. They
admit, of course, that the unsettled
conditions of a year ago, as well as
the general lack of knowledge of what
the future holds for Egypt, is a deter
rent to free commercial intercourse.
The chief cause for business worry
at this writing is the decline in cot
ton prices plus the general interna-
tional slump in trade. The two events
coming at the same time work more
than ordinary hardship to the business
life of Egypt.
One business man remarked that
people in Egypt realized that the
trade of the world was in bad state I;
that prices were falling the whole
world over, and that there was a gen
eral stagnation in buying. But, he
continued, "Other countries have
usually more than one industry upon
which to exist. Here in Egypt we
must live or die at the within of King
Cotton. This within is not left in our
power to control. We grow the cot
ton, and Lancashire and Manchester,
as well as your big tire fabric centers
at home, manipulate the buying price.
OF course, every one in Egypt with
grain of common sense, realizes
that the law of supply and demand
rules; but, depending as it does upon
one industry, the business life of the
community Is more or less left open
to unusual perils when that one in
dustry fails"
Bulk Of Business Life.
This business man was engaged In
the wholesale supply of sundries and
novelties. His point of view may be
accepted as that of such traders In
general-those who buy in Europe
America or Japan and import the
goods to Egypt for local consumption
This work constitutes the bulk of the
business life of the community. 1t is
not the greatest in point Of wealth
however, when one figures the i'm
mense amounts involved in the col
lecting, ginning and expectation OF
raw cotton. Egypt's normal cotton
crop is handled by about dozen
large British and Levantine firms,
with headquarters in Alexandria.
These latter have been the biggest
sufferers, but only from lack Of some

with them was tempered with sorrow

Events moved along fast. There
came the time when Francis Levison,
returning to West Lynne to seek cleo
ton to parliament, only to be defeated
by Carlyle, was convicted of the crime
which had overshadowed Richard
Hare for so many years. At East
Lynne, after the death OF little Will

Isabel. When she realized that she
was failing rapidly she begged upon
her deathbed to be allowed to see Ar

She raised her head from the pillow

Lady Isabel felt 1t her duty to repel
his advances. but there still remained
that undercurrent of feeling for him
that she could not comprehend. Fear
full lest she betray herself, she dis
missed him abruptly, sent for her nus
band to take her home, and made a
pitiful attempt to drive all thoughts OF
Francis LevisOn from her mind.
1t was well-nigh impossible. Her
plans to forget him were completely
frustrated when her generous husband,
innOcently enough, merely thinking TO
repay Captain LevisOn for his kind at
tentions to Lady Isabel on the French
coast, invited that prOfigate to East
Lynne as a place of shelter where he
might be safe from his creditors until
something could be arranged.
Like a serpent LeviSOn boldly took
every occasion to whisper into Lady
ISabePs ears all the meetings that he
Spied between her husband and Bar

that her husband was giving his love

No sooner had she taken the fatal
step than she was filled with remOrse.
Almost Immediately she discovered the
true character of this insincere rake
for whom she had given up her all. In
a year he deserted her, leaving her I'M

Too proud to accept help from rela-
