A New Romance of fhe Storm Cotntrta

Sne nearQ the TWO men crushing after her. That her short, swift leaps could outdistance them for long If she tried for the boulevard, she had no hope. But all about ner were giant friends with outstretched arms, offer Ing her shelter. For one Instant she paused, then sprang Into the alr, caught the lower branch of a great pine tree and like squirrel scurried up 1t. Almost at the top, spanned over by the blue sky, she crawled out to the end of big limb and clung to it Beneath her the men paused and shouted curses up at her. Tonnibel cared nothing for curses. She'd heard them all her life, used them, too, when she felt like 1t.
 Suddenly there came to her ears the tapping of q paddle in the lake. She flung up her lead, peeped out and saw a canoe taliIlg Its leisurely way to- ward Ithaca. She bent over and looked down.
 Daddy" she cried, there's some one rowin' Cn the lake. I'm goin' to hollcr like h--l. And when he comes, I'll tell i'm how you banged Ede, and If she's crooked you'll both get jailed. Here's where 1 hOlier"
 She sent out a quick birdlike trill, and the man In the canoe held his paddle suspended in the air as he studied the forest. This didn't Inter- est TOnnibcl as much as did the fact that Devon and Reggie Brown Jumped 10 their feet and raced away toward the boulevard. Tonnibel from her perch saw them disappear toward Ithaca before she slid to the gro nd.
 The man in the canoe. ioo, made but a short pause before he dipped his paddle and shot away. On the deck of the boat Tonnibel picked up Gus sle-plglet and. dripping wet. went swiftly down the cabin steps. There she found her mother on the bunk. her face discOlored by her husbands blows. She looked as If she were dead, and for moment the fOrlorn child Of the wilderness uttered heartbroken little cries for help.
 The cabin was cluttered ln the struggle Uriah Devon had had with his wife. In despair Tony looked around. The old clothes daddy had brought home were strewn over the cabin floor. TOnnlbel heaped them together, then began to examine them.
 They needed nothing but pressing, This she'd do to save her mother the work; and perhaps the fact that he had something ready to sell would make UrIuh less brutal when he came back. In running her fingers over coat, searching for small rents, Tony felt something between the lining and outside, a book It seemed Ike, which she hastily pulled out. It was small and much worn. There wasn't any money in 1t, In fact nothing but pie tire, wrapped up ln paper.
 She looked at the picture curlously. A babys face smiled up at her, and

Engineer Mine
 In The Courts Original Locator Of Famous Atlin PrOp- tyInStitutes Action

Vancouver Feb 1S-Litigation in volving the famous Engineer gold mina Atlin district is proceeding In the SupRsme Court here and in ac- cordance with Q recent Order of Mr Justice Morrison unless the plaintiff dsltvcrs the state ment of claim by Monday next tho action will stand. dismissed.
 The action is being brought by Walter L Goodwin and associates who during the time they We're mak
 7g the surveys of the White Pass X Yukon RailwaI located the group of claims and lHter incorporated the Engineer Mining Company as the majority Of the men interested wer' engineers.
 The claims were relocated some Years ago by the late Capt. Aexan- der and his sssoCiates and at the time Of the sinking of the Princes9 sophia Capt. AleXander was on his way out from Atlin acCGknpanied by a Cobalt engineer who had ex- amined the mine for his principals who according to report Were about to uegotiata the purchaSe of it for d sum variously said in mining cir cles to be close to two million dollars. That was the figlTe one tine quoted by Capt. lAleeXander and resumption was that such an amount would have been involved in the deal had 1t been closed.
 Capt. Mexander customarily came south in winter and Passed through Vancouver on his way east always with sensationllly rich samples of native gold from the Engineer mine which was generally looked upon as an extremely valuable property With the deah Of Capt. Alexander tho affairs Of the mine badame more in volved and work ccased,
 By the terms Of Capt. Alexander's will the whole ct his estate went to Allen Smith and after the latter died thn widow brother and mother of Smith residing in 'Philade e'phia be- cana beueficiaries. The official ad- mintslrato- cs Atlin district Mr. . Fra e1 was entrusted with the GUS toidy Of the HrDTerty erd when ac- ton was launcred by Goodwin mad [ associates Mir Fraser and Smiths sur vivors We're EameA det.uiants.

It Is stated that there will be no changes In the service at, present, but improvements in service and facilities are expected to follow soon. A distinction that Is unique is claimed for the Huntsville postoffice, because of the fact that the city is gziven population of only 8,01s in the federal census. and the Chamber of Commerce directors claim that their slogan, The Biggest Town on Earth for Its SiEe," Is now 5usu- fled moro than ever before. Few towns, if>any, of 5000 population have a postoffice of the first class.

RAN GE IN PRICES /. OF FLEECY STAPLE
 NARROW LAST WEEK
A Year Ago MiddIing Cotton Closed for the Week at Forty Gents a
 Pound
By Associated Press

New Orleans, July 3.-The range of prices was not wide in the cotton market this last week, trading being restricted because of the bureau re- ports on Friday. which was the clos Gng session and the triple holidays following. Events of the week all led up to the government crop sta tistics, and they proved to be too near general expectations to furnish material for much excitement
 High prices of the week were made ~on Tuesday, while the low prices were made on Monday and Friday. At the highest the trading months were 3S to 60 points over the close of the preceding week. while at the lowest they were points over to 6 points under. The range was A to b3 points. On the close the active months showed net gains of 29 to A points. October traded up to 12. 05c, down to II .55c and closed at Il. SEC. July closed at II zoe, while middling in the spot demand closed at 11c, . net gain on the week of 50 points.
 A year ago middling closed for the week at 39. soc a pound. The gov ernment crops just about met con- aervative bullish expectations, con dition of 6s.2 per cent of normal on June 25. combined with a decrease in acreage of 2s.4 per cent, pointing to a crop of S,433,000 bales of 800 pounds weight The area under cot ton was placed at 26,519,000 acres and the yield DOT acre. about the most bullish item in the report, was put at only 1922 pounds, one of the low est yield estimates ever made for cotton. At first the figures caused only mild buying. but as they were ali igested they brought in more sub stantial support.
 This coming week the market will not open until Tuesday, and some traders at the end of last week claimed that 1t would carry over into the new week the buying movement aroused by the bureau reports. The weather prevailing over the belt will have a great deal to do with whether this movement is to be continued oi not, traders say. Too much rain in the western belt and too little in the eastern, combined with boil fweevl ravages in both divisions, caused many crop observers to claim 'fhat the crop actually had deteriated. or at the best had stood still, from June 26 on.

PEACHES PROFITABLE
Georgia Will Ship $500 Carloads at
 $2,00O Per Car

Concord, Ga, July 3-(Special.)-- Many long trains of refrigerator cars loaded with peaches are moving out of Georgia each day. This years crop now being shipped, will amount to about $500 car loads of this lus- cious fruit and it is being sold in the northern markets at about $2,o00 per car load. There are b0O crates in a car load, each crate hold tn six little baskets. The success that is being made by the peach growers is wonderful.
 The fruit growers have been get i ting good returns from their crops for many years, but 1t seems to get better as the years go by. Finer fruit is grown and marketed under 6 better system and this makes the business more profitable and satis- factory. The fine profits being made this year. as well as last year and for many years past, are causing far mers to take renewed interest in this branch of farming.
 Peach trees usually bear the first crop, of marketable size the third year from planting, and then pro- duce good crops annually for 10 to 20 ! years. Elberta Is the leading mar ket variety and has been more exten- lively grown than any other variety. It has many features of high merit. l Carman, Hiley, Belle of Georgia, Mayflower and several other varieties ere grown in lesser quantity.
 In order to get good results from m orchard 1t must be cultivated. fer tilixed, pruned and sprayed in a thor ouEh manner. The best methods of doing these things have been worked 1 out by the large fruit growers, in connection with the experiment stA- tions and the state entomologists 80 that peach growing is no longer an experiment..
 The northern cities are now talk ing from 800 to 500 cars per day, at good prices. notwithstanding the hard l times and 1t would naturally follow that they will take much larger quantities, when times get better and money more plentiful. Large can cries are now in operation in tho 1 peach growing oenters, which take the faulty fruit and turn 1t to a profit. This plan will bs extended n future, to take care of any over supply of fruit.
 VIII the business bs ovsrdonef Nurserymen or tree growers say thoro iD not enough troes being i crown this year to supply the de- nand or to over plant. so there will not be too many planted this season 1 Looks now like man wanting to plant an orchard would first have to make sure of getting his trees, by 1 placing an early order.
 Fruit growing is very interest," ,ang. attractive and profitable line of work. California has been leading ] Ill the states in fruit production for I many years. but there Is no reason why the states of the south snouio l not move to the front in this line. l Sinca it has all the advantages Of i the west, and much lower freigat ! rntas to the markets. The south will move up in the next few years along l this line.
