"AnotheT highly important fact is
the better financing Of the farmer
which cooperation alone makes pos
sible. The individual farmer controll-
ing 80 on 100 ba.es Of cotton cannot
get attention from the great sources
Of money in America. but OrganiZa-
tions Of growers controlling millions
Of bales can secure money t. finance
themselves and promote gradual mark
eting and can get money on as good
terms as other great businesses get il.
And while cooperative marketing will
be primarily a selling organization
rather than a holding organization, il
will CD keep cotton from being reck
lessly dumped on dCmcraliZed markets
during periods Of temporary dCprcSs-
ion and panic such aS existed last year
and (2) will be able to finance growers
by necessary advances while selling
waits for conditions To become normal.
That fact alone would justify farmers
in joining cooperative marketing as
sociations."

him. But he made it at last. And by
the time he had crawled one hundred
feet over the snow crust the whole
structure was in flames. The rec
tongues spoke with q roer.
Cranston, the fire-madness On his

There he repeated the work. He
touched a match to the hay tn the
barn, and the wind flung the fame
through it in an instant. The sheds
and other outbuildings were treated
with oil. And seeing that his work
was done. he called once to the prone
body of Lennox on the snow and
mushed away into the silences.
Lennox's answer was not q curse
this time. Rather it was prayer, un-
uttered, and in his long years Lennox
had not prayed often. When ne
prayed at all, the words were burning
fire. His prayer was that of Samson
that for a moment his strength

YOUTH HAD NOTHING ON DAD
Old GentIeman's Memory Also Went
Back to the Tirne He Spent
in Hot Brazil.

Among the members of a firm hav.
ing South American connections are
the Joneses, father and son. Recently
Jones Junior, who had just returned
from Brazil, was relating some rather
tall stories of life down there, when
he asked:
'Now, during that awful heat, what
do you suppose it was, aside from the
temperature, that made it impossible
for us to take our after-dinner siesta?"
"Why, what?" asked gullible SIS
ter.
''The peculiar noises," continued
Jones Junior. "You see, the coffee
was popping on the trees. The sun
was SO hot the grains just roasted be-
fore they were picked"
Whereupon dad yawned.
Rather warm down there" he ad.
mitted. "But when I was in Brazil
you couldn't sleep nights. Every once
in a while there would sound the most
extraordinary noise that ever fell upon
human ear"
"What were the sounds, dadT'
asked Jones Junior, with grim"
"The rubber trees were stretching
themselves" answered dad.

ing. 1t was that menacing crackle of
a great fire, that in the whole world of
sounds is perhaps. the most terrible.
Its our house." Snowbird told him.
"And father can't get out"
She spoke very quietly. Perhaps
the most terrible truths Of life are al
ways spoken in that same quiet voice.
Then both Of them started across the
snow as fast as their unwieldy snow
shoes would permit.
"He can crawl a little" Dan called
to her. Don't give up, Snowbird
mine. I think he'll be safe"
They mounted to the top of the
ridge; and the long sweep Of the for
est was revealed to them. The house
was a singular tall pillar of flame, al
ready glowing that dreadful red from
which firemen, despairing, turn away.
Then the girl seized his hands and
danced about him in mad circle.
"He's alive!" she cried. "You can
see him-just a dot on the snow. He
crawled out to safety"
She turned and sped at breakneck
pace down the ridge. Dan had to race
to keep up with her. But it wasn't en-
tirely wise to try to mush so fast. A
dead log lay beneath the snow with a
broken limb stretched almost to its
surface, and 1t caught her snowshoe.
The wood cracked sharply, and she fell
forward in the snow. But she wasn't
hurt, and the snowshoe itself, in spite
of small crack in the wood, was still
serviceable.
"Haste makes waste" he told her.
Keep your feet on the ground, Snow
bird; the house is gone already and
your father is safe. Remember what
lies before us"

Very Beautiful.

Very beautiful is this idea of God
giving us something to look at in or
der to keep our faith steady. He
knows that we need pictures and signs
and themes He has well supplied.
We might have forgotten the covenant,
but we cannot fail to see the rainbow {:
every child sees 1t and exclaims at it
with Joy. And If you tell the child
the meaning which God put into it, the
bow becomes still more beautiful.
And so with all other things God has
given us as signs and tokens; the sa-
cred book, the Bible; the water of
Baptism; the bread and wine of the
Sacrament, the blessed Sabbath, and
the House of Prayer; all these have
deeper meanings than are written in
their names. Search for those mean.

rodent features became intent; the
eyes narrowed to curious, bright Sits
under the dark lashes. He went to
Dams room, searched his bureau
drawer and all the pockets of the
clothes hanging in his closet. He up
set his trunk and paved among old
letters in the suitcase. Then, stealing
like some creature Of the wilderness,
he came back to the living room.
Lennox was not on the divan where
he had left him. He lay instead on
the floor near the fireplace; and he
met the passion-drawn face with entire
calmness. His motives were perfectly
plain. He had just made desperate
effort to procure Dams rifle that hung

CHAPTER l-Continued.

He came stealing across the snow
musher of the first degree. Very
silently and swiftly he slipped off his
snowshoes at the door. The door it.
self was unlocked, just as he had sup
posed. In an instant more he was tip
toeing, dark, silent figure, through
the corridors Of the house. He held
his rifle ready in his hands.
He peered into Lennox's bedroom
first. The room was unoccupied.
Then the floor of the corridor creaked
beneath his step; and he knew moth
ing further was to be gained by wait
ing. If Lennox suspected his pres
ence, he might be waiting with aimed
rifle as he opened the door Of the liv-
ing room.
He glided faster. = He halted once
more-a moment at the living-room
door 10 see if Lennox had been dis
turbed. He was lying still, however,
so CranstOn pushed through.
Lennox glanced up from his paga-
zine to find that unmistakable thing,
the barrel of a rifle, pointed at his
breast. Cranston was one of those
rare marksmen who shoot with both
eyes open-and that meant that he
kept his full visual powers to the last
instant before the hammer fell.
II can't raise my arms" Lennox
said simply. "One of 'em won't work
at all-besides, against the doctors
orders"
Cranston stole over toward him,
looking closely for weapons. He pulled
aside the woOlen blanket that Lennox
had drawn up over his body, and he
pushed his hand into the cushions Of
the couch. A few deft pats, holding
his rifle through the fork Of his arm,
finger coiled into the trigger guard,
assured him that Lennox was not
"heeled' at all. Then he laughed and
went to work.
Il thought I told you once" Len
mex began with perfect coldness, "that
the doors of my house were no longer
open to you"
"You did say that" was Cranston's
cultural reply. "But you see I'm here
Just the same, don't you? And what
are you going to do about it?"

"And 1 don't want any such remarks
out of you, either" Cranston an
swered him, "You lie still and shut
up, and 1 suspect that sissy boarder
of yours will come back, after he's
through embracing your daughter in
the snow. and find you in one piece.
Otherwise not"
IF were in one piece" Lennox an
swered him very quietly, "instead OF
bundle Of broken bones that can't
lift its arms. I'd get up off this couch
unarmed as I am, and stamp on your
lying lips"
But Cranston only laughed and tied
Lennox's feet with cord from the
window shade.
He went to work very systematical
ly. First he rifled Lennox's desk ir
the living room. Then he looked or
all the mantels and ransacked the
cupboards and the drawers. He was
taunting and calm at first. But as tht
moments passed, his passion grew up
