ter-not as woman IN her fower.
For Q long second he gazel at her in
speeches. anlazement.
Her hair was no longer blond.
True, it had peculiar red lights when
the freight shone through it; but he
knew by the light of day it would be
deep brown. He remembered hea as
an awkward little thing that was
hardly able to keep her feet under
her. This tall girl had the wilderness
which is the grace of a deer
and only blind eyes cannot see it, He
dimly knew that she wore a khaki
celored skirt and a simple blouse Of
white tied with a blue scarf. Hef
arms were bare in the fires glean
And there was a dark beauty about
her face that simply could not b.
denied.
She came toward him., and her
hands were open before her. And her
lips trembled Bruce could see them
in the freight.
1t was a strange meeting. The fire
light gave it a tone of unreaIity, and
the whole forest world seemed to
pause in its whispered business as il
to watch. 1t was as if they had been
brought face to face by the mandates
Of an inexOrable destiny.

The words were spoken unusually
soft, scarcely above a whisper; but
they were inexpressibly vivid tC
Bruce. They told first of a boundless
relief and JOY at his coming. But
more than that, in these deep vibrant
tones was the expression of an un
quenchable life and spirit. Every
fiber of the body lived in the fullest
sense; he knew this fact the instant
that she spoke. 49,
She smiled at him, ever so quietly

name by which she called him in hel

His Tribute TO Women.

No matter what one may think
of the philosophy of Robert G.
Ingersoll, one must admit that
he stands out prominetly as an
American who was q master in
use of the English language.
The following is his oftquoted
tribute to women:
1t takes a hundred men to
make an encampment, but one
woman can make a home. not
only admire woman as the most
beautiful object ever created,
but reverence her as the re-
deeming glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all virtues, the
pledge of all perfected qualities
of heart and head. 1t is not
just nor right to lay the sins Of
men at the feet of women. 1t is
because women are so much bet
ter than men that their faults
are considered greater. A mans
desire is the foundation of his
love, but a woman's desire is
born of her love. The one thing
in this world that is constant,
the one peak that rises above all
clouds, the one window in which
the light forever burns, the one
star that darkness can not
quench, is woman's love. It
rises to the greatest heights, it
sinks to the lowest depths. 1t
forglVes the most cruel injuries.
1t is perennial of life and grows
in every climate. Neither cold
ness nor neglect. harshness nor
cruelty can extinguish it. A
woman's love is the perfumer Of
the heart. This is the real love
that subdues the earth; the love
that has wrought all miracles Of
art; that gives Us music all the
way from the cradle song to the
grand closing symphony that
bears the cloud away on wings
of fire. A love that is greater
than power; sweeter than life
and stronger than death" i"

CHAPTER WI

! In almost mbment, Duncan was
iout e the thickets and into the big
timber. As far as he could see there
was nothing but the great pines climb
ing up the long slope of the ridge. They
stood straight and aloof. and they were
very old.
He fell into their spirit at once. The
half-understood emotions that had
flooded him in the cabin below died
within him. The great calm that is.
after all, the all-pervading quality of
the big pines came over him. Bruce
was rather tremulous and exultant as
he crept softly up the trail.
It was the last lap of his journey
AT the end Of the trail he would find
LINDA! And it seemed quite fitting
that she would be waiting there,
where the trail began, in the widest
heart of the pine woods. He was
quite himself once -carefree,
delighting in all the little manifesto
lions of the wild life that began to
stir about him.
His delight grew upon him. 1t was
a dream coming true. Always ii
seemed to him, he had carried in his
mind a picture of this very land, a
sort of dream place that was a real
ity at last. He had known just how
it would be. He had always known
how the pine shadows would fall
across the carpet of needles. The
trees themselves were the same grave
companions that he had expected, but
his delight was all the more because
of his expectations.
AS the trail climbed higher, the
sense of WildernSss became more

WEEKLY COTTON TRADE REVIEW s<<... .e Market Advances Into New High
 srennd for the Season.

New Orleans, Nov, .5.-Further ad- vances into new high ground for the season were made by 5he cotton mar ket last week. There were five trad fng days in this market during the week, Wednesday being a holiday, and on four of them prices registered new high levels. Highest prices came all most at the end of the closing session when December touched 24S2 cents g pound and the trading months were 77 to 131 points over the close of the proceeding week. The close was at 2475 on December with the list at net gains of 72 to 126 points.
 The main underlying factors work ing for higher prices were the continu- ed piling up of evidence of a very short crop, the continued improvement in trade. an increasing keen demand for spots in sections of the belt and an unwillingness of spot holders to part with that part of the crop still left in their hands. it was said that hold CTS were refusing 2 cents a pound for their cotton at some points in the east eCn belt. In the local market middl- ing spots closed at 24.50, net gain on the week of 125 points. At the end of this week last year, middling was quoted at 1925.

MO. FARMERS TAKE UP COTTON
Will Plant Crop in Region Previously
 Considered Impractical.

Little Rock, Nov..- 6.-Farmers of Southeastern Missouri are preparing to raise cotton on an extensive scale next year, it was reported by G. H. Banks, field director of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Asso- citation yesterday. MT. Banks has just returned from a trip to northeastern Arkansas in the interests of the asso- citation. He was much interested in this newest development in cotton pro- |ductiOn. .,...~- .-a -.@ :! + >l.
 The fact that cotton is comparative ly higher in price than are other farm products. in responsible for the de- cision of many Missouri farmers to turn to crop from the section around |Sikeston, Mo-, came to see MT. Banks to ask for information about cotton raising.
 Farmers of this section believe that they can raise cotton although they are north of what previously has been considered the limit of the cotton belt. They will have the tremendous ad- vantage of being free from boil weeyil infestation They believe that they will be safe from the ravages of the boil weevil for at least three years and should they have an extremely cold winter during the three years, they believe their immunity might last long CT than that.
 They will have many handicaps to overcome in addition to their unfamil- iarity with the crop, according to Mr. Banks. For one thing, it will require tenants to raise cotton and the Mis- ouri farmers are not equipped to care for these tenants. In that section one house to every so acres is the usual rule while it is usually estimated that it requires a house to every 30 acres to raise cotton successfully. ,.'. :.

Very little has been said about the Little River county pork crop this year. Last year was hog killing year, and more pork was produced . than ever before. Soon we will begin to hear of big porkers again: We; are hoping that the amount Of pork put away in the county smokehouses will be as great-as last year. 'S Last year was indeed live-at-home year That is the biggest reason why our people as a whole pulled through what seemed an almost impossible situation, and are now once more getting their feet planted on solid ground.

FARM BUREAU TO MEET
Adjourned Convention Will Consider
 Plans for Coming Year.

Little Rock Nov. b.-lne auJoulh ed convention of the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation will reconvene at the county court house Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The nrst annual convention was held here Oc' tober IS and 19, but because 1t was impossible to complete at that tune all the work it was desired to adjourn and to reconvene.
 It is expected that Joe L. Bevens Of Newport, newly-elected president. or bureau, will preside over the sessions here this week, MT. Bevens vas elect ed at the October 19 meeting, sue ceeding John D. Eldridge of Gregory.
 One of the most important matters to come before the adjourned conven- tion will be. the report of the com mittee appointed to consider revision of the constitution and bylaws. This committee recommended some changes at the previous meeting, put because the committee members did not have time to complete their work it was agreed that they should submit their full report at the adjourned meeting.
 Also report will be submitted bJ the committee appointed to audit the bureaus books The committee has had the books examined by an experf accountant and will report as to hls findings.
 w. H. Laney, secretary of the pu- reau, will report on the progress or organization work of the Farm Blu reau and it's subsidiary cooperative marketing associations. Also he will outline program of work for the ensuing year
 "The convention will discuss ways and means lof financing operations for the ensuing year and will make provision for the emplOymeM Of an additional office force and organiza tion men necessary to do effective work in the counties where the Farm Bureau already is functioning and to extend :, this organization work into several counties where no Farm Bu- reau organization exists at present" said MT. Laney yesterday. Tt is ex- pected that the convention will be by delegates from the 35 county Farm Bureau units of the state.
 ''The Farm Bureau now has approx
 mately 11,000 members and it has organized strong marketing associa- tions of growers of cotton, sweet po- tatoes, rice, strawberries and dairy products. Next years activities will be devoted to strenuous planfietaoin be devoted to strengthening these or ganizations and to the formation of similar associations to handle apples, watermelons, livestocK and poultry. The Farm Bureaus pro- gram for the coming year contem- plates increasing the membership in the state to at least 30,O00 and doubl- ing the sign-up of the Arkansas Cot ton Growers Cooperative Asoscia- tion. This would mean that by next fall more than half the cotton in the state would be marketed through the association. The cotton association is proving "a great success during the first year of it's operation and prom ises to bring a splendid profit to it's members. The example of the bene- fits of this organization and of the rice and sweet potato associations, which now are marketing their sec end crops successfully, is expected to greatly facilitate the Farm Bureaus organization work"
