been active throughout th* south during the
past fortnight.
Information received from Liverpool today
was to the effect that the British shipping con
troller hope* to provide space for the impor

American rotton. This had quite a strong ef
fect on the midday market and prices were sus
tained up around the best point, October selling
at 24 2*. with business of moderate volume
Including further support from Wall street in
terests.
Later tn the <»ay the market made further
gains on Covering and sold up 31 to 36 points

CHit'AGO, July 26.—. Misgivings over the nd
verse influence of excessively dry weather *n
the southwest led to a decided uptur* today in ,
the value of corn. An increase of rural offer-:
lugs to arrive here, however, checked the ad
vance. opening quotations, which range-1
ftymi 0c decline de ’*<• advan<-e, witli September
nt $1.02*3 to $1.62", and December at .<1.14* >
to $1,140, were followed by gains wbiclt car
ried deferred futures to a considerably higher
level before n reaction set in.
Selling was based on a theory that improve
ment in the big central belt where the com
nteroinl crop nt the country Is raised would
more than counterbalance any losses in the
southwest. The close was unsettled *s to 20
net higher with September at $1,630 to 0
and December $1.16 to 0.
Improved prospects in Canada for wheat were
offset by crop datm-ge reports from North Da
kota and Montana. After opening 10c lower
to 2c advance, at $2.43 July nnd $2,170 Sep
tember, the market steadied at about the same
as yesterday’* finish to slightly lower.
In the absence of any selling pressure values
had an upward slant. The close was firm. 3* a
to s*-..e net, higher at $2,460 July and $2,220
September.
Oats went up grade with corn.
Provisions wore quiet and firm.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Hartlett, Frazier 4 Co.: See nothing on which
to buy coru as yet and believe better' oppor
tunity will be afforded any one waiting to
j make purchases of oats.
Ware & Leland: Ixxtks as though a further
decline will be witnessed in corn market. Be
lieve oats will work to a lower lei el of prices.
Lamson Bros.; Corn market likely to get
into an oversold condition shortly. Further de
pressions in oats seems likely.
Logan & Bryan; Do not believe this an
opportune time to promote aggressive tactics
in the corn market. The opportunity Is on the
buying side of September and December oats
on the decline.
Harris Winthrop: Winter wheat harvest is
nearing completion and cutting of spring wheat
lug an in South Dakota July 21. A gradual
Increase in receipts seems probable.

CHAPTER LXI.
IN the days that followed I prac
ticed indefatigably. I carried the
score to my teacher, and he drilled
me thoroughly until 1 felt that only
welf-consciousness or stage fright
would make me fail. Ignore Dorian
was delighted.
“I shall not let you off with this one
appearance,” she said one day after
our practice. "Your playing suits me
so perfectly."
Harper Carleton had happened fn one
day when we were at work, and his
praise also stimulated me.
"What does Mr. Drayton think of it?”
he asked in a bantering way.
"I haven’t told him yet,” I replied.
"I want to be perfect before he knew.
1 shall tell him tomorrow, however, and
benore has promised to sing for him.”
"Ducky man!”
We laughed, and Robert was forgot
i ten.
All this time Harper Carleton had
proven his friendship for me in many
ways. Often, when I was lonely and
depressed because of Robert’s absence,
a new book or late magazine would ar
rive with a short note from him. He
would tell me something which had in
terested him and ask me to read the same
story or article. Or he would send me
! a box of Howers. I often wondered
why Robert never asked about them
when he saw them scattered about the

JOURNAL OF COMMERCE REPORT
NEW IvRK, July 20.—Journal of Commerce
says
Ixtuislana—Prospects are rather good, except
for tlte smallness of the plant, which is due
to a dry season. Since the 16th of the mont'i
rains have been ample and the plant Is gener
ally report'd healthy and strong and fruiting
well. Cultivation is good nnd fields are free
from grass, while the boll weevils are doing
very little damage. Occasionally the season
is reported late. Condition nas not changed
materially from last month, when it was <5.3
per cent, A year ago it was 79.6; in 1915 it
I wn* 79, nnd in 1914 it was 79.
Alabama—Cotton is small bnt strong .ind

This is in strong contrast with a year ago.
when long continued ruins had seriously in
i lured cotton and i»ercentage condition was 61.8.
Condition now appears to allow slight Improve
ment over a month ago. when it was 69.3.
: Rains of late, however, have been rather ex

per cent; in 1915 it was 78.8 per cent, and in
1914 it was 79 per cent. The plant is small,
but looking healthy and well fruited. Crops
are clean and well cultivated, and although
weevils are reported everywhere, damage thus
far Is slight. Rainfall has been ample, hut the

rooms. Had he, 1 should have told hint
frankly; but as long as he didn’t care
enough to notice, 1 said nothing.
As I have said, no thought that Robert
would object to my playing in public
had entered my mind. So that when T
told him, and he at once forbade it, I
was too astonished to speak, even to
object.
"Mme. Dorian has her own accom
panist. There is no possible reason
why you should put yourself on exhibi
tion,” he told me.
“But, Robert, you do not understand!”
I exclaimed when I could recover my
voice. “It is for charity.”
“I can’t see why that necessitates your
acting as accompanist. I will give them
a check. That will release you from
all obligations.”
“But, Robert! I must play. We
have been practicing for ever so long
I didn't tell you because I wanted to
surprise you. It is too late to make
any change now."
“I thought you would be pleased. Le
nore is coming in after dinner and we
were going to show you how well we
could do—rather how well I played ;
for her.”
“I’m obliged to go out,” he answered ■
in his uncompromising way. "You will 1
make my excuses to Mme. Dorian. Also i
if you have any regard for my wishes
you will refuse to appear on the stage of
a theater."
"I told you it was too late, I shall
have to go on with it now.” I returned
all pleasure gone because of his attitude.
“Very well, but remember. Margaret.
T will not have my wife appear in public!
I absolutely forbid yon ever to do so
again.”
So this was the way all my dreams
of singing and playing were to end. I
was not to be allowed to make use
of any talent I might possess even for
charity’s sake. I had not realized, until
Robert forbade it, how my heart had I
been set on doing something; having'
some outside interest to compensate mej
for the lonely hours T spent at home. I
"Was Mr. Drayton really angry?”
benore Dorian asked. “I cannot imag
ine it. 1 thought he would be so pleased
and proud.’’
“Yes, he was very much annoyed,”
1 returned, "and has 'forbidden me to
ever appear again.”
“I am so sorry! You have undoubted
talent and would make a success on the
concert stage."
“Robert thinks a woman's place Isj
[ at home.”
"Her place Is wherever she can do her
i best. Not that I would have any wom
i an neglect her home and children—you
; know I am quite proud of my house-!
keeping abilities and the way I ; am
, bringing up my children. But I should
' stifle if 1 were not allowed to give ex
: pression to my music, to achieve my,
ambition.”
I made no answer, but now I even,
more bitterly resented Robert’s attitude.
We went through the hour of final prac-1
tice without much animation on the part '
of either. Her mind as well as mine
j on my husband's refusal to allow me
to go on with my plans.
1 had purchased my dress and ac-,
cessories. They had been expensive, i
and I had taken some of my own nest <
egg rather than tell Robert how much
I was spending. Now 1 was glad I had
done so. It might have been an added
reason for his objecting. My dress
was a pale yellow crepe, made very sim
ply, but was very becoming. Usually I
should have called Robert and asked him
to enthuse over my appearance. But
when I was ready I only remarked:
“You are coming, aren't you, Rob
ert?”
"I will come after you. It is doubt
ful if I get there in time to hear any
of the concert.”
I knew by his tone and manner that
he wished me to understand that he
would not be there when I played, and
it was a relief. Had I known he was .
to be in the audience, disapproving, it J
would have made me nervous. So 1 did 1
not urge him.
"The concert will be over by 11 o’clock
at the latest,” I said. "I will leave |
by the south door.”
"Very, well,” he replied, and I left j
the house without a word concerning f
my appearance or a wish for my sue- |
cess.
CHAPTER bXII.
I HAD never played better in my life. !
I knew it before benore told me, i
and before the tumultuous ap
plause of the audience greeted me when j
she shook my hand and pulled me back
with her for the second curtain call. I
She had some beautiful flowers, but my
surprise was very genuine when a mag
nificent bouquet of long stemmed roses
were passed to me over the footlights, j
I could scabtftely wait until the curtain I
rung down to look at the card. Some
lingering hope that Robert had sent .
them was dispelled when I saw Harper '
Carleton’s card with a message of con- !
gratulation attached. Robert had entire- ,
ly ignored me. although I had several
other bouquets.
After the concert —which was an im
mense success —was over, people crowd
ed around congratulating us. Foremost
amflng them was Harper Carleton.
“I am proud of my little friend,” he
whispered. ’ *
"I am glad if I did well." I answered,
my face flushing at the praise I had re
ceived.
“If you are ready, Margaret, we will
go,” I heard Robert say, and I turned to
find him standing near.
Without a word I walked out with
him; and neither of us spoke until we
had gone some distance, when I could
no longer restrain my curiosity.
“Had you been waiting long. Robert?"
I asked, knowing that in that way I
could find out if he had been in the au
dience.
“No. only about five minutes," he an
swered.
I was really hurt and chagrined. 1
said nothing, but held my roses closely
and thought I had a friend who had
cared enough to attend, and to show his
appreciation. 1 hoped and yet dreaed that
Robert would notice and comment upon
my flowers. But he did neither, and we
went immediately to bed. he referring
to the hard day he expected on the mor
row, and I too distressed by his silence
to care to talk.
Harper Carleton called the next day,
and by his enthusiasm and his compli
ments made me feel that I had given
him pleasurable enjoyment and that 1
had acquitted myself well.
"I expect Drayton has told you all
that!” he added, when he had finished
talking of the concert.
“No. indeed! He wasn’t there," I re
plied, flushing.
“He missed a great treat.” Harper re
turned, then changed, or tried to change,
the subject.
“Robert isn’t particularly fond of mu
sic and Is very busy,” 1 explained, loath
to have him think Robert had remained
away without reason.
After my next music lesson I told my
teacher I should discontinue them for
i the present. I felt it was useless to
spend so much time and money for
something which gave Robert no partic-
I ular pleasure, and which he objected to
• my using for others save in the privacy
of our home.
Christmas was approaching and I bent
aIL-roy energies, spent all my spare time
getting ready for it. The children were
to have a tree. Bruce and Philip were
coming to spend the holiday week and
I had also invited Myrtle and Ned Cald
well.
"Why not add Tim Mulhany and his
wife to your party?” Robert asked when
I told him of Myrtle and Ned.

Tom off into another room and talk poli
tics.” I replied, laughing a little, bur
nevertheless meaning what I said. It
was a habit Robert had when any of
his political friends were with us, and It
annoyed me terribly.
“I'll promise.”
“All right then. I'll ask them.” So
it was settled.
Myrtle went with me to select the
tree, then came for two afternoons to
help me trim it. She was as excited as
I was over it. We kept the door into
the living room locked so Bruce could
not get a glimpse of it. and his poor lit
tle heart was almost broken because
of our secrecy.
Brother Bruce and Philip arrived the
day before, and Philip had kept hia word
about giving Bruce. Jr., all the noise
making toys he could find. Myrtle and
I became almost hysterical when we
helped the boys unpack. Drums, fifes,
whistles, electric trains, everything tn
the world a boy of three or four could
play with. The baby, too, they had re
membered most bountifully. Big dolls
and little dolls, wooly animals, and soft
toys, “suitable for a girl,” Philip had
announced rather sarcastically when we
unwrapped them. They had also re
membered both Robert and me. Rob
ert with books he had long wanted ami
me with a wonderful set of china. Fath?
er sent me a check for SIOO and als<?
sent both children money for their bank
accounts.
“Dad believes in looking out for a
rainy day,” Phil laughed when he saw
the checks.
“I think it was perfectly lovely of
him,” Myrtle enthused. "I’m sure the
children have toys enough for a life
time.”
“Just wait!” Phil threatened. “Bruce,
Jr., isn’t quite old enough yet, but the
day is coming pretty soon when he shall
Ynake you all wish for some sort of
quiet or I miss my guess.”
“Philip, if you give that boy any
thing more to make noise with I’ll move
out and let him have the house!” I de
clared. - *
