There was another dismal wait until
dinner, and then again an evening
rehearsal. The only crumb of good
news was the fact that Reben was to
be out of town the next day and she
could sneak Winfield in to watch a re-
hearsal, If he wanted to come.
He wanted to exceedingly. He stole
in at the front of the house and sat
in the empty dark unobserved, but
not unobserving. He had the wretched
privilege of watching Eldon make love
to Sheila and take her in his arms
Are you going to let that fellow
Eldon fondle you like that?" he de-
manded when rehearsal was over.

dog do you think I am that I'm to

To her intense amazement Sheila
was fiattered by this overweening
tyranny. She said she would see if
the embrace could be omitted. The

that Bret had no income and would,
have none. That would scare her off.
The Winfelds had not been settled
long in thei- hotel when the telephone
bell rang.
Mrs. Winfield answered: Hello,
this is Mrs. Winfield"
"Oh, how do you do? This is Mrs.
Kemble, Sheila's, mother. Your son
asked her to cali you up as soon as

Winfield whimpered.
Sheila that night dazzled both OF
them with her beauty. The Kemble
cottage on Long Island was a pleas
ant enough structure at any time, but
at night, under flattering moon, it
| looked twice it's importance.
The dinner was elaborate, and the
guests most select.~ The winfelds
were p1entifully impressed and Mrs
Winfield completely overwhelmed
when Lady Braithwaite CHANGED to
say in answer to some remark:
There's no question of the social
position of the stage. So many ac-
tresses have married into peerage
that you can't tell which is the an
mex Of which and no end Of young
peers are going on the stage"
On the long, late ride back to their
hotel the old couple were meek, quite

and searched their faces eagerly, then
pleaded:

The Winfields blushed with pride,
warmed up their comments on Sheila
and went so far as to say that she
would never give up the fame and for

for her just to marry manufactur-

 In the midst of all this, King Cotton comes to the aid. Four American cap ltalists negotiating big cotton transac- tlcns In Berlin, suggested to the per- pleXed and irresolute government which was awaiting the first of Nays inevitable fate to appeal to President Harding. These four men themselves drew up the form of the appeal. It is useless to criticise here this extraor. dinary dice-box policy. Everyone soon VIII be able to judge whether the ad- Vice of this quartet was inspired by greater wisdom than Paris.

 It has already been said that with our the aid of America it will be i'm . possible to settle this terrible conflict The United States, under the rule of President Harding, as under President Wilson. cannot remain indifferent to an attempt to destroy the market of Germany, cooperating economic power,
 In King Cotton's Kingdom there must be no ruined province, because Of the entirely comprehensible anger NAAS ASP&ie1tiOiiS ucIlldIu may enR6N- der. Neither sympathy nor antipathy, however, must decide Only positive arguments through which can be con- Vcyed the idea that one of the con fHcting parties is incorrigible and therefore, danger to the world, are worth while now.
 Germany has failed to recognize one Of her greatest blunders. It is up to Germany now to show honorably that she is no longer the Germany of Kali ser Wilhelm. Preparation of the deyas- tated regions must not weigh upon Germany as a heavy duty, but as a heartfelt necessity Germany must not fall ioto the despicable way of bad debtors who always swear they have reached the limit of paying capacity and then when compelled to always manage to go still further. If such tricks are avoided and if arithmetica] devices were not resorted to, then a broader gulf stream of warm feeling would flow through the Atlantic. and We might with confidence hope for American help in settling our nome economic situation, without which heln serious reparation settlements will be impossible.

COTTON EXPORT PLAN
 GIVEN NEW IMPETUS
py Associated Press

Atlanta, April 30.-The movement to expedite the export of American cotton took a long step forward here today in the opinion of more than one hundred representative exporters ana financiers who discussed the situation with government officials and were promised as great cooperation as pos sible by Eugene Meyer Jr., managing director of the war finance corpora tion at Washington.
 For one thing, Mir. Meyer promised to recommend to the corporation that credits be extended on bona fide sales of cotton at interior points for eN- port, instead of while it is at ports for export as at present. w. l.. Clay ton cotton exporter of Houston Texas in making a plea for such action de- clared it would render invaluable ala to exporters"
 The proposal that the government arrange to insure exporters agalnst loss from wars and revolutions ll foreign countries also was discdssed and a committee was appointed to take up this and other proposals with government officials. The committee will meet in Washington May for conference with the war finance cor poration to develop plan of action
