Tennessee's Cotton
Off to Late Start

Nashville, Tenn, June 3.-Ac-
cording to G. L. Morris, agricultural
statistician, bureau of crops esti-
mates, United States Department of
Ayr culture, the cotton crop for
Tennessee is getting started off
rather slowly. The cold, wet, late
spring delayed planting. Quite a lot
of the crop was planted a second
time and on May Is much of the
crop was still not up. The drying
winds the latter part of the month
have dried the lands out to such an
ertent that germink ion has been
checked. The lands being worked
late, and in many cases too wet,
seem to be lifeless, and that part
of the crop which is up is showing
slow groth, and there is some
complaint of the plant dying for
lack of mo 'sture. Stands are about
up to the average, the crop is from
Is to 18 days late, and reports indi-
caet a considerable reduction in
acreage. An estimate on acreage
will be included in the July report. \
The condition Of the crop in Ten
nessee on May Is was SO per cent,
compared with go per cent same
date last year and a 10-year aver
age of 80. per cent.
The condition of the crop in the
cotton counties in Tennessee is as
follows: Benton, 81 per cent; Car,
roll, 70; Chester, 70; Crockett, 70;
Decatur, So; Dyer IS; Eayette, GO;
Gibson, rs; Giles, 60; Hardeman,
SO; Hardin, u; Haywood, sc; Hen.
derson, rs; Henry, 72; Lake, 70;
Lauderdale, 70; Lawrence, 70; Lin
coin, 72; McNary, IA; Madison, Ga;
Obion, 80; Rutherford, So; Shelby,
70; Upton, 70; Weakley, 70; all
other, 70.
No estimate of production will be
made until the next report, when a
survey of the acreage is made.

Mart Reed Has Fish
for Breakfast and Chill

Ruthville, u. S. A., June Eve
have decided not to say single
word about the weather, though its
mighty dry and cold, north winds
still coming, requiring fires and
coats. AS to farming-nothing do
ing. Clouds and parts of clouds are
gone to parts unknown, people plant
ing their tobacco lands to corn, po-
tatoes cannot be planted, growing
corn dieing on the hill, with insects
and dust. Thousands Of half-grown
frogs have never learned to swim
for want Of water. We are simply
in the middle of bad fix!

CHAPTER XVI.
Helen,s Ordeal.

Helen, in her great heayiness or
heart, stared down at nothing. Flu
All gave up the task of comforting
her, at the request of his sister, who
rode close beside the princess. Fansas
attention was in fact soreiy d.
vided between the marvels of an I'M
known world and the sorrows Of her
mistress The Mongolian driver showed
Lexington into the lead, and the white
man was alternately alarmed and JOY
GUS. He looked back often, and his
nerves crawled each time he fancied
a puff of dust in the south.
His best friend was gone, where
he had wished to go. Con saw what
had been in Andrew March's mind
when he told of the seed-poison that
leaves no dream behind, only stilled
body Con was not holding that against
his friend. The quiet investigator,
who had weathered so much, whose
worldly grasp had seemed so strong
and sufficient, had been broken when
his illusion failed, woman waiting
for him, but in another world. Just
now, Levington's deepest hurt was to
recall what he had seen IN the devo-
tional chamber underneath the pal
ace, his princess in the same fragrant
thrall. Her father had come and gone
by strange laws.
Helen seemed to live in a dull
tangle of pain. She rode with eyes
closed. Training prescribed thoughts
of her father, the affectionate stranger
who had mastered the path to her lof-
ty city, only to meet ruin in the yellow
mans form of sleep. The shock of his
death brought a heaviness that was
uncomfortable, a new destiny dropping
down about her like a cloak. But
oddly, the images that passed before
her vision were not Of Andrew March,
He was but the background.
She was thinking Of Chez Ming, the
brutal marks upon his head in that
last moment, his dignity in rage, the
magnitude Of his defeat. Pictures Of
his kindness came again and again
how patiently he had taught her, how
he had brought for her the pretty
things of the world. Once he had
laughed outright when q golden butter
fly had wandered in at the window and
rested upon his nose.

Helen stood there, then kneit She
closed her eyes, but did not weep. Her
hand went to his shoulder, but the
touch frightened her. Lexington was
bowed with the loss OF his cOmrade,
the man who had shown BIN how to
live.
"You need not co." said Con.
"They are both there" she said
slowly.
"Shall take you back to the gates"
For a long minute she remained
motionless, kneeling, and the others
OF the party showed increasing agita-
ton, with much staring of southwark.
Helen raised her hand.
II am ILL.," she whispered. Take
me away, far"
He lifted her to her feet. A runner
had been sent back to the city with
word. The hammock would come
again, and March's body be given final
attentions.
at Is useless to remain" she said.
"Take me away"
The other woman of the party, an
ancient sister to Flu All, came to her
princess and soothed in the wonderful
lntoned speech of Asia. She placed
large motherly arm about the shock
ed and saddened Helen, and with Con,
helped her up into the saddle. Haste
was imperative. 1t was Helen's own
choice.
Lexington gave the word. The
guide took orders from old Flu All, who
rode high up, his wrinkled and SCARED
vjsage further complicated by the pres
emf twists Of fortune He had no
heartbeat Independent of his white
c-1ncess. For the sake of speed, the
sister, who was somewhat heavy, was
separately mounted. Helen rode
alone, as did Lexington. The wind
was in their faces.
Lexington looked back once, shud-
dering, across the rich low plain, to
the strange towering city, now but
tawny Babel In the hands OF It's enc
mics, those sad hordes from the cav
erns--its destiny awry, all splendor
and quiet cruelty ended. The very
walls seemed pale now.
The white man was silent with a
grandeur of pain, beauty that was
anguish. White-hot sun pelted through
his garments. Flying sand stung his
cheeks Familiarity. Helen's head was
bowed in silent agony. 1t seemed
that the fierce, vengeful hands Of the
miners pulled at his heart.
Back on the vanishing rim of the
world, the ancient, mysterious city
showed for an instant like faded
rose, and then the glazing heat blot
ted it out.

He endeavored to assist in the hur-
ried gathering together Of lovely gar
ments, but he was useless. Also, the
delicate spice that arose from certain
Of the dresses was like a thin knife
In him.
The door opened. The silent figure
Of Chez Ming stood before them, his
robe torn, and marks of violence about
his head, steady, grsy-faced, tense
with anger
Helen paused beside the bamboo
chest. She felt a sudden renewal of
the ties of many years. Con sensed
the situation, and waited. The vizir
advanced upon the rug.
Il CO." said Helen In English. Chez
Ming replied shortly in foreign
speech. 81 90, at once" she repeated,
and her persistence with the English
seemed to clear the air. 1t was her
declaration Of choice. Chez Ming was
speaking to her. great calmness
spread over his intense rage. His eyes
grew magnetic with hate. His dream
cosmos was crumbling. The princess
appeared not to hear him. She said
pleasantly: 81 am taking Carlyle to
read on the way, and the Aquarium
Gospel"
These two volumes were placed on
top OF the fineries of all Asia. Chez
Ming had turned to the white man.
Lexington said, II am setting free
your prisoners"
Helen added: Mother once tried to
do the same"
my riders return" said the vizir
steadily.
Not yet" said Lexington.
He saw thin brass tube in this
yellow hands. In a fash he was upon
the old man, before the blower could
