It was not dMniel who was , sen that the decree bad lieen issued, but fWrins he realia.'d that be had been duped, and that having been taken unawares, his sub ordinates had made a fo<4 of him. He tried all sorts of s-heuw-s to deliver Daniel except the one of revoking the foolish decree so when night came, he cast Daniel info- the den pf Hons, sealed the door with his awn seal, and tUM of the princes, so that there would be no possibility of either break ing it. - Tbe king stent a miserable night: but not so. with Paniei. for no sooner than he had t>-en pat into the lions’ den. than God sent HU angel to clone the mouths of the lions, and prevent them from banning His servant. 1,1 AND THE DELIVERANCE. The next morning the king «»nt as early as passible to find out the fate of hia friend. I am inclined to think that that heathen king iwared that night in away he bad never kuewn before. Without knowing whether Dan iel i-ould answer him or not. he called to him, sskii.g whether his God had protected him from barm; and Daniel's answer was a tri nmpbant cry. telling the king how God had r nt his angel and bow the hungry lions had done him no harm The seals were broken. Daniel was taken out. and those princes who had brought all this •about were cast into the lions' den. with all that belonged to them. That the lions veer* really hungry was shown by the fact that they crushed the men before they even hit the floor. Daniel himself was again promoted, and a deetee was i«ned by the king which practical ly Incorporated tbe worship of Jehovah into the life of tbe natkom. Rewiemlierir.r that the book of Daniel deals with tbe last days, we must learn from this story the truth that Daniel was a type of tbe faithful remnant who arc to be persecuteil by the Anti Chri«t lieeause they refuse to bow down ami worship him instead of Goal. The Aati-Cbri«t is not a god. but man. and the faithful remnant refuses him. even though he *mar exercise all the power that the Anti-Christ They will cot give worship to anyone except Him to whom worship is du~. Jehovah Himself Let us also notice, since this closes tbe first part of Daniel, that in Nebuchadnezzar's image of gold we have self-exultation: in his dream of tbe tr*e Image we hare the >r-n*mification of power- in BeMmaar's use of the nacre-1 vessels we have the blasphemy swl disrgard for sacred things; and in the decree of Da rius we have the ii-mminr up of man’s opp.»- sitkwt to God in the repnirvmerL that man lie worshiped. All of these things arc rapid!v developing today. They are things which will find their eomplete der-loptnent in the days of the Antf ’"hrist.

WHEN I reached home I sat down quietly to think over what Mytrle had told me. But not so much what she had said as what she had implied. She evidently thought there was something for me to worry about because of Phyllis lawson s visit to New York while Robert was there. I flushed with shame as I remembered that she and Miss Sloane had been dis cussing me, my husband’s admiration of another woman, before 1 joined them. I wondered if I had succeeded in con vincing them that I wasn’t jealous of Mrs. Lawson, and if they belleVed my little story: that Robert had known of her intention to go to New York and bed told me of it? 1 smiled bitterly as I thought of my friendship for Harper Carleton and oi how careful I had been. to keep him from knowing that 1 was aware of his love for me. My lip curled as I imag ined Robert telling Phyllis Lawson he cared for her, neither knowing that I was cognizant of their —friendship. Even now. angry and hurt as I was. 1 could not call it by any other name. Acting on impulse i went to my desk and wrote a telegram to Robert: ’’Come home, am very ill." For a long time 1 sat with the yel low slip in my hand, hesitating. Should 1 send it? If I did and he came in re sponse. and found I had deceived him he would be very angry. 1 slfttuld have to pretend to be ill, and Robert’s eyes were very keen. A tram of thought is hard to break, and as I sat there, un decided, 1 found tn.Ahelf going over and over what Myrtle and Miss Sloane had said, recalling their expressions, and the embarrassed manner so unusual with them. Os one thing 1 was sure. No one should think 1 was fretting for Robert’s love if he had given it to an other. and with a sob in my throat, al though my eyes were dry, 1 tore the false telegram into pieces, then ran to the telephone and called up Mrs. Mul hany. “I’m blue, if you will let me I am coming over,’’ I told her in res)>onse to her cheery greeting. "Do. dear, and plan to stay to dinner.” she replied. I had always made it a rule never to go out without telling Martha where I could be found. The children might be taken ill. or something happen that I would be needed. So 1 dressed hurried ly and then called Martha: “I shall not be at home for dinner, Martha, and shall perhaps be late." “I’m that glad you are a gotn’, ma’am," the girl replied, as she helped me with my wraps, "you look that white you most scared me.” "So I do.” I laughed nervously, as I glanced in the mirror. "Just hand me that rouge. I’ll soon remedy that,” and I dabbed my cheeks with color, then with powder. But my eyes looked al most sunken, and 1 was cold as Ice. I had not given way to hysterical crying, but the control I had exerciser? had left me with a nervous chill. 1 knew, however, I should be better as soon as I was with Mrs. Mulhany, so refused Martha’s offer of a hot drink. As I walked rapidly down the street I thought of Mrs. Mulhany’s happy marriage, and of others I knew who also were, or seemed to be congenial. Os course, I knew that many marriages were failures—like mine. But I felt that if Robert and I were only really happy together, good comrades and con fidential friends It would be the nearest approach to heaven on earth I could expect. Then I asked myself in bitter ness: “Why am I not as happy as other women? Is it my fault, or Robert’s?” then came another thought, "How do you know they are any happier than you are? They probably look at you and think Robert and you one otf the happy married couples.” And a great disgust with myself came over me. But when I reached Mrs. Mulhany’s her unaffected delight in my visit, and her hearty greeting soon drove the black devils away, and 1 was enjoying myself. Her quaint philosophy, her clear out look on life always did me good, and made me wish I were like her. "Tim isn't coming home, so we'll have a little party all by ourselves.” she told me, after answering the telephone. "Oh, won't that be nice," I impulsive ly exclaimed, "not Mr. Mulhany remain ing away.” I hastened to add. "but that 1 am with you.” Yet in my heart 1 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 191/. was glad we were to be alone. I felt hurt and sore, and she soothed and com forted me, although unconscious that I needed comfort. 1 felt strongly tempted to say some thing about Phyllis Lawson, to tell that she had gone to New York; to un burden myself of the load of unhappi ness I carried, but I restrained myself. I had no positive knowledge that she had gone because of Robert, or would see him while there. Yet, if I said any thing, the time might come—probably would come when I would regret it. But my mind was full of suspicion and doubt, which my pleasant evening had not dispelled. And my last thought before I finally slept was: I only could depend upon Robert, if only I were certain.” CHAPTER LXXXVIII. I SHALL always remember the week that followed my visit to Mrs. Mul hany. Whether I caught cold, or whether my nervous apprehensions con cerning Robert were the cause, I do not know, but 1 was taken suddenly and vio lently ill. I ached in every bone in my body, and if I tried to raise my head from the pillow 1 became faint and dizzy. Myrtle urged me to telegraph Robert, but I remembered the lying message 1 had sent him, and refused. I was glad that I had when a letter came from him saying he was starting home the next day. I was no worse as the days of wait ing passed, bQt I also did not improve. I could not read, so I lay and thought bitter thoughts, and grew more morbid and miserable every day. Then Robert came. He appeared extremely anxious about me and was remarkably considerate in the weeks that followed. I was often feverish and cross, but he was kind and patient with me. Only once did he show any annoyance. I asked him somethin* concerning his trip, the business which ■had taken him away. "We will talk of other things, or I will read to you,” he said. "You never tell me anything,” I whis pered weakly. > "I tell you of the things which con cern you. Margaret." "But I like to know of things that concern you," 1 persisted. "Myrtle called up a while ago to ask the morning and sit with you,” he chang if you would like her to come over in ed the subject, and I knew that my weak attempt to find out anything about his trip had failed. "Why, yes: she’s been a dear all the time 1 have been sick. 1 get so tired of my thoughts." and the doctor won’t let me read. If I could only have, the children a little while each day; but 1 do not think it wise to have them in a sick room." “You are right! The sick room Is no place for children. I am glad you are so sensible.” Being sensible, as he called it, always appealed to Robert. From the first the doctor had approv ed of my Isolating the children. While he did not think my illness at all con tagious, children were susceptible and he thought it better to take no chances. But I. longed for them. “I’ll send Martha to .you now while I eat my dinner, and then I'll read to you for a little while before you go to sleep.” Robert said, then bent over and brushed my hair from my forehead. How I wished he w'ould kiss me, but he didn’t, and the tears oozed from between my eyelids as he turned away. He had scarcely left the room when Martha came in with a box in her arms. "Where shall 1 put the flowers, ma’am?" she asked. "They just come, and Mr. Drayton sent me in to you.” "More flowers?” I asked without much interest. “People are very kind to me. Bring the box here and let me see them." 1 had been wonderfully remembered. My room resembled a flower garden, so filled was it wtih fragrant blooms. Martha brought the box to the bed and cut the string. Then I lifted out a wonderful bouquet of orchids, wtlh Harper Carleton’s card attached. He had gone away the very day I was taken sick, ertid I had not heard of his return. "Aren’t they beautiful!” I exclaimed, "put them in a vase Martha, and leave them where 1 can see them.” "They sure are lovely ma’am,” Mar tha enthused as she placed them ac cording to my directions, then left me alone. I had kept the card in my hand and as soon as the door closed I turned it over and read the message written on the back. There were only a few words, written in pencil: "I was grieved to hear of your ill ness. The flowers arc my message to you. They will at least remind you of one who will be anxious until he sees you.” Sick as I was the message gratified me. It was a pleasure to know that he thought of me so kindly. Then I won dered idly what Robert would say when he came in and saw the flowers. Would Cotton NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—There was a renewal of Liverpool and Wall street buing at the opening of the cotton market today and first prices were 7 to 18 points higher, with Octo ber selling at 21.52 mid January at 21.27. This advance met more southern selling and real izing thnn were in evidence yesterday, how ever, and there appeared to be a tendency to pay more attention to the reduced short inter est and favorable weather for picking in the south. A wire from Texas said sfiots were of fering more freely, and prices here sagged off shortly after the opening. October reacted to 21.40 mid January to 21.14, comparing with 21.34 and 21.16 at the close yesterday. The decline was checked by the report of a New Orleans banking authority estimating the crop nt 13,282,000 bales, including linters. Business was quiet later in the morning, with fluctuations irregular. There were occa sional flurries of selling, but the offerings were comparatively small, and tbe relative firmness of October had a tendency to hold the lattr months. Prices at midday were about net un changed to 13 points lower. Buying by local trade interests and Liverpool absorbed offerings on the midday setback, and the market turned firmer during the middle of the afternoon. There was Wall street buying attributed to the influence of a stronger spot market, and active months sold about 16 to 22 points net higher, with October working up to 21.56 and January to 21.32.

At the end of the first half hour trading months were 1 point higher to 6 points lower than yesterday's close. Offerings of short cotton increased on reports of a somewhat lower spot but* in Texas and fear of the effects of the dock workers, strike here. In the trading up to noon prices went to 12 points below yesterday's close. Heavy speculative buying entered the mar ket! in tbe afternoon and uricese responded readily.

I wished that he would, that he loved me so much that he would ob ject to any attentions from others. And again in my weakness a few hot tears rolled down by cheeks, but I wiped them away.

He came in quietly, thinking I might be asleep, but when I spoke he drew up a chair and taking a book seated himself to read aloud. j “You don’t notice my flowers,” I said. “They came just as you went in to din ner.” “Orchids, eh! they are very beautiful,” and commenced to turn the pages of his book.

COTTONSEED OIL OPINIONS Jenks, Gwynne & Co. say: There is so much uncertainty regarding the influence of pending developments on cotton oil and allied markets that aggressive action on either side seems unlikely for the present, but there appears to Im* a certain drift toward governmental control, which would be bearish. In fact, present levels nre too high to attract trade support and lower prices may eventually be expected. LIVERPOOL COTTON.
