that for day% n«> one should worship anyoat
else other than himself: xnu, if any one dis
obeyed. he was to be «aat into a den of
lions.
The king < decree inadi no difference with
Daniel: he was uoi ignorant vt it. but he did

watching him. f<< the«e devil-poasesaed men

porting tv the king the disoliedience of his
favorite officer. 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. Let u* ntt tie de>-efv«d. hat appreciate

CHAPTER LXXXVII.
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.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 20.—A continuation
of the buying movement of yesterday put the
price of cotton 11 to 13 points up around the
opening here today but realising in volume from
tbe long side was met and the rice was soon
checked. 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. At 1:30 active months were at a net
advance of 45 to 50 points.

he care? 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. Robert must not see them.
He might ask me their cause, and I,

of my heart than I wanted to.
your feet and cause foot torture.
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.
"Harper Carleton sent them with a
message,” I- told him, determined to
make him say something more.
“That was kind of him. All your
friends have been very generous. Now
shall we read?”
I gave up and nodded to him. What
was the use? He didnt’ care who sent
me flowers, nor what the message might
contain.

CHICAGO. Sept. 20.—Unfavorable weather
hart a bullish effect today on the corn market.
Frost was reported as far southward as Ne
braska and there were predictions of additional
frost tonight in lowa. Opening prlcea, which
ranged from the same as last night's finish to
X N e higher at $1.19’., to % December and 31.16
to ’4 May, were followed by moderate further
gains and then something of a reaction.
Forecast of a protracted period of mild
weather -to follow the presenl c-k-I wave caused |
later a more pronounced setback in corn val- '
ues. The close was unsettled at tltc same ns
yesterday's finish to *4O advance with Decem
ber $1.19 to $1.1814, and May at sl.lt> to
$1.1614.
Onts bulged with corn.
Wheat receipts continued relatively liberal tn
the northwest and scanty in Chicago.

DURING WEEK FOR COTTON
The following is the weekly cotton region
weather and crop bulletin, issued by the gov
ernment, front special telegraphic reports and!
compiled by states:
Texas—The weather was cool, with showers,
mostly light, at two-fifths of the reporting sta
tions. Conditions were favorable for rice harv
esting. also for cotton picking, which is nearly
completed In south and central Texas and pro
gressing rapidly in the north. Cotton is late
in the north but is promising, although there
are some complaints due to boll weevil. Rains
at the close of the previous week greatly im
proved ranges, fall gardens and truck: but feed
crops, corn, pons, peanuts, cane and sweet po
tatoes were only slightly improved. A large
acreage is ready for sowing winter wheat and
oats.
Oklahoma—The temperature was moderate
and the sunshine abundant. Light scattered
showers fell. Cotton is late and is opening
slowly on account of the cool weather. 801 l
worms continue active nnd cotton has been
grently damaged over large areas in the east
ern portion. Middle and top crop prospects are
poor. Grain sorghums, Inte corn, and forage
crops are maturing but an early frost would
cause much damage. Seeding wheat is pro
ceeding. with the soil in generally good con
dition. -
Georgia—The weather was too cool and the
rainfall was Insufficient, bnt the conditions
wore favorable for harvesting crops. Cotton
continues to open rapidly. Picking nnd ginning
are progressing but labor is scarce. The top
crop is poor. Digging sweet potatoes, pulling
fodder, making sorphum syrup, and gathering
corn, peanuts, and beans are proceeding active
ly. Preparations for fall onts are advanced
and sowing has begun. Pastures, late truck,
vegetables, and fall white potatoes need rain.
Alabama —The weather was generally favor
able. Cotton picking and ginning made good
progress in the central and southern portions
nnd picking was begun in the extreme northerir
portion. Much of the crop is gathered in
the southern portion. Weevil damage con
tinues. Prospects for the top crop ’ are poor.
Corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and velvet beans
nre fntr to excellent nnd abundant. Haymaking
progressed satisfactorily. Fodder pulling con
tinues. Cane, sorghum, and minor crops are
doing well. Fall plowing is progressing in
some sections in the southern portion.
Mississippi—Motton is opening rapidly and
picking Is now progressing well throughout the
state, except where labor Is Insufficient, be
ing nearly completefl in some southern cohnties
where the crop is small. Weevil are still ac
tive on cotton In many districts. Other spring
crops are maturing nicely cxiept where needing
moisture. Rain is needed in some districts
also for fall gardens and pastures and to soften
the soil for plowing.
Arkansas —Cotton is in good condition in the
north and west and is still forming bolls: it
deteriorated rapidly elsewhere, with much
shedding nnd no new bolls. Picking was re
tarded in the southern and central portions
and is just beginning in the northern portion.
Late corn is nearly matured in the orth. Rice
is i good condition. Harvesting rice is just
beginning, two weeks inter than last year;
some rice is still being flooded. Meadows,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, truck, and peanuts
rro In good condition. Apples are coloring
nicely. Plowing so wheat and onts continues.

Fall turnips are being sown. Potatoes, truck,
and gardens nre doing well but need rain.
North Carolina —Tbe weather wns too cool
throughout the stst*. with excessive rainfall
over the constnl nlntn on the 14th-lsth. caus
ing considerable damage to crops by flooding
the smaller streams, especially in the centra 1
portiion of the eastern district, where the
loss was heavy. Tx»w temperatures retarded
the development of cotton and there are com
plaints of deterioration. Picking started in the
southern, but has been delayed in the eastern
portion. Corn Is in satisfactory condition In
the Piedmont and monnta! sections. Harvest
ing tobacco is nearly completed. Good progress
wns made in fall plowing. An Increase in the
wheat acreage is promised.
Tennessee —Corn, early and Into, promises fine
yield. Cotton needs warm weather. The firs’
part of the week was too cool. Cotton is I
two or three weks late and is opening slowly ,
Picking is just beginning. Prospects continue |
good generally. Tobacco is generally excel
lent, with heavy growth; cutting and housing
are progressing under favorable conditions. The i
weather wns favorable for curing pea hay and
for plowing.
Florida—The weather was favorable in much i
of the north and west for picking cotton ami
housing corn and hay, but rather dry locally !
for sweet potatoes and seeding. Cotton picking i
is nearly completed in some localities west of
the Suwanee river; the weather was too wet
in portions of the east coast and some low
lands were flooded in the south. Citrus fruits
are in fair condition and peanuts generally |
good. Seeding and plowing are progerssing. <
More sunshine is needed.
Louisiana —Tbe weather was favorable for i
harvesting rice, corn, sweet potatoes and pick
ing cotton. Cotton is opening rapidly ard '
picking is well advanced. Corn is generally i

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.
