 How much?" Camille was neither surprised nor shocked. This was what one might expect of dashing Reggie. He had very little ballast, and, at times, no sense at all.
 T feel a cad" He gnawed at the corners of his small moustache. But listen, Camille, I'm not such low down hound as to borrow money from girl like you without giving some sort of security for it." Out of his pocket he drew the sapphire ring that she had worn for just one night, and then returned to him. This stone is worth a mint of money. A thousand pounds, easily. It's flawless, and unique. If you could lot me have, say, 1900, on 1t, just for week or SO, I'd be eternally grateful to you.
 Camille, feeling like female pawn broker, murmured:
 But If it's worth a thousand, why don't you sell 1t at It's full value"

 Of course, 1t would be just a loan.
 Besides, the stone had really fas- cinated her. Till Reggie repaid the money, she could wear the ring, and yet be neither bound nor indebt- ed to him.

 He beamed with joy. What brick she was! And how unlike the average woman, who fretted overy every six pence!

SLIGHT DECLINE
 IN COTTON MARKET
Movements Come Within Moderately Narrow Range.
 Small Ginning Returns
By Associated Press

New Orleaes, January 15.-Price movements in cotton were within B moderately narrow range. net ad- Nances of IT to 2S points in the early sessions being followed by net de- elines of 39 to 69 points later. The extreme range of prices was 6e to 96 points, March trading as high as 17.57c and as low as 16.63c. On the close the list showed net losses of 2 to 46 points with March at 1e.92c. In the spot department middling lost 90 points, closing at 1e,75c, against 15c at the end of the same week last year,
 The high prices of the week were the result of the small ginning re- turns to the first of January, the total of 7,ss4.e72 bales being well un- der average expeetat tions and bring ing out stronger claims than ever tha this crop will not exceed S,000.- GOO. or S,10o,000 bales, After this buying movement wore out tho mar 2ket had to take steady selling, which came to all appearances. from out side interests Some of this selling was done on contentious that liqui- cation of spots was still under way which was denied by several local factors who claimed that only very small part of the cotton they were holding for planters was for safe.
 Flowing Well Ahead
 More or less selling arose from re- ports from blowing being well ahead in some sections of the belt, notably Texas, and that here and there over the belt were to be found sections that apparently were preparing to plant larger acreages than they planted last year. The proclamation by the governor of Texas, prohipit- ing the planting of cotton over still wider areas in sections of that state which have harbored the pink boil worm and further evidence that the Noll weevil was passing through the winter in great numbers offset much of the acreage talk.
 The continued easiness of the money market was accepted as highly fa- vorable influence for cotton. leading 10 the belief that there was little real foundation for claims of spot hquida- tion being necessary in any sections of the belt The spot market was ouiet the week through, and mill talk inrs were considered rather disap- f.ointing. 273000 bales, against 3OO,oOo inc same week last year and 2ss,oOo TWO years ago. Anything untaVor- able in this direction, however, was balanced by the further decrease m inc visible supply of American cot ton of S5, 5,230 bales against a decrease the same week last year of s,o5z. and an increase two years ago or 71.92s. The fact that the visible sup, ply of American cotton at the enu of the cotton week was down to A. 169,12S bales, against 4,4s1,02O year ago and 4,517, sos two years ago, was considered by many cotton men to DC one of the outstanding features of inc week.
