their cotton started. Mr.. Henson
said.
The acreage has been cut consic-

gatea areas and the condition or
ne crop Is very poor as compared
with otner years. The stand Is very
thin in most places. Mar. Henson
said. The outlook. Is nevertheless
much better than at planting time
due principally TO the fact that
there has been good cotton weather
recently. The sun has been bear

Irene. looking about al the beauti-

Gaylord was mean not 70 have en-
gagged IL for her in the first place.
Her resentment against Gaylord
grew when flowers arrived and the
largest and loveliest bouquet was
for Beryl. There was an exquisite
basket Of fruit for Beryl too. as
well rs several books. while for her
there was only a stack OF magazines
which she felt sure Gaylord had
grabbed al random. Among them
were a number OF duplicates which
Irene threw angrily across the
room.
Then she relapsed into sullen
silence, harboring a bitter jealousy
or her sister. When Gaylord came
10 see them Irene would scarcely
speak 70 him.
He paid little attention 10 her
for Beryl's condition worried MIN.

Two days later he wired to Mr..

But at last there appeared a light

there an hour or two after Gaylord
had sent his wire. Irene was ex-
ultant. She had sent a wire OF her
own. And she had reused Beryl to
tell her about 1t. She would see II

husband while her sister got every
