CHAPTER XVIII
In the Dead Night.

Twilight had long faded into dark,
the hazy stars seeming only to inten-
sify the deep gloom Of the woods,
when Jack Warhope returned to Black
rock, coming in by way of the feed
pens. and slipping the horses into the
barn through the cattle sheds.
He crouched a long time On the
kitchen step listening. No unusual
sound disturbed the silence. Very care
fully he fitted his key-the same that
had come so near causing him trouble
at the inquest-into the lock; guard
edly turned it; worked the door slow
ly open; entered; softly closed and
locked it.
Stealing across the floor, he made
his way to the small Office room where
the papers and safe were kept.
He tiptoed behind the curtains that
hung over the entrance to a closet I'M
der the stair in the sitting room and
stood still, his ears strung for every
sound that rode the night.
1t couldn't have been short of mid
night, and his mind had gone back to
the house-boat, riding safe and secure
In the pocket at Anime island when

There came the sound for which his
ears were straining-hands outside
prying at the window of the west room.
He drew his revolver, cooked 1t and
took a position so that he could see
through the curtains without causing
them to move.
There came a low sound of crum-
bling wood the mufied slither Of crack
ing glass the soft CRATE of the sash as
ii was slowly raised finally the creak
of the window-sill and the faint swish
of clothing as somebody crawled
through. The sounds were repeated
one-no more.
There followed the subdued shuttle
Of feet the guarded scrape Of a match
the flicker of a tardy candle. A dim
light fell through the open door in a
long splotch of yellow across the sit
ting room and the knob of the safe was
softly turned. BY some supersense

the rest of us saw hid there at the
head of Mud haul the day we went
5einin'.
But l found where he'd hid 1t at Al

"Then, without lettin' 'er know 1t

safest place she could be jist then

1t was a tremendous recital, brief;
terse; not quite true yet anything but
false; by far the longest speech he
had ever made in his life, even with
so much left out. He saw questions
still in the eyes fixed upon him. A
moan came from the parlor bedroom
and every other consideration gave
way to the sufferer.
Alone with Uncle Nick, the woods
mar securely fastened the window
that had been pried open, closed the
door on the gruesome scene and went
to the kitchen. Curious faces were be-
ginning to gather in the yard. He
turned to the old man.
"Uncle Nick,"-his voice showed the
strain he was under-"send them

the room they had just left.
The next moment, with a step that
the years seemed powerless to totter
or %stiffen, he had glided through the
door and put among the curl
GUS faces in the yard.

Ancient Mode of Torture.

Breaking on the wheel was a horri-
BILE mode of putting to death by tor
ture formerly in use in Europe. The
condemned criminal was first fas-
tened to two pieces of wood in the
form of a st. Andrews cross, with
his legs and arms extended, and had
the bones of his shins and thighs and
the fore and upper arms broken with
blows with a bar Of iron. After that
he was attached to q small carriage
wheel balanced on a stake, and al
lowed to suffer in this position till he
died, sometimes several days after the
breaking of his limbs. Later the pun
ishment was so far mitigated that the
criminal was put to death by a final
blow on the breast, spine or neck be-
fore being exposed on the wheel, and
sometimes he was strangled before
even the breaking of his limbs took
place. The torture was last used In
Prussia about 1911.

few CHANGES SEEN
IN COTTON FOR WEEK
Continued Reports Of Delayed Farm
Work in South Checks
Selling.

NEW YORK, March 22.-There has
not been much change in the cotton
market during the past week. May
contracts sold up to 2s.70 on Monday
as a result of buying promoted by
firmness in Liverpool, complaints of
delayed farm work in the south and
feeling that optimism over pros
poets for settlement of reparations
was likely to be reflected by expert
demand.
Offerings increased at the higher
prices, however, and there were re-
actions, with the market becoming
Quieter and irregular later in the
week. There was a decided falling off
traders recognized the existence of
conflicting factors in the situation
and were inclined to wait for a nearer
view OF the new crop start to deter
mine the trend of endseason values.
Continued reports of delayed farm
work in the south probably had a
tendency to check selling, but evil
IDENTIFY failed to inspire much fresh
buying. the opinion appearing to be
that with good weather from now on
the delays SO far reported would not
be of great Importance. Optimism as
to the prospects for a larger yield,
with favorable planting and grow
ing season, was promoted by the pub
indicating an intention to increase
acreage by something between 3 and
5 per cent
Live traders were inclined to ques-
ton whether the results reported at
Tallulah, noting the absence of boil
weevil, can be safely accepted as rep
resentative of the entire belt, but the
opinion was freely expressed as that
with good weather from April onward
expectations of substantially in
creased crop are likely to become
general.
Liverpool reported a continued good
spot business during the greater part
Of the week, owing largely to export
demand, and there were unconhrmed
rumors here today that ocean freight

COTTON is POINTS OFF
IN MARKET QUOTATIONS
Declines at Opening Attributed to
Reports of Dizziness in Cotton
Goods Trade.

NEW YORK. March 22--The cotton
market opened at decline OF 8
points today and sold about 10 10 IS
points net lower under further com
mission house liquidation and local
southern selling. The decline was
attributed to continued complaints
of dullness in tho cotton goods trade
and rumors of curtailment in the
automobile industry. May contracts
sold Off to 2S.72 and October to 25.6o,
with business quiet at the decline.
The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the
week was estimated at 1900 bales
against $4,000 last year.
Several Points Lost.
NEW ORLEANS, March 22.-The
cotton market opened somewhat ir-
regular; first trades showing gains of
three points on old crop months and
losses of six to seven points on the
new. Prices eased off Immediately
after the call on reports of further
mill curtailment, particularly in the
south. kilograms reporting all au-
