Guy Nick conch of Yale rowing, thinks th?t t.hp rpw Yale regatta course on the Housatonic,' near Derby, about twenty miles from here, is the most ideal spot for the purpose in the world. Nickalls is finishing Up his Fall wo'-k with the Yale crew. All ORRAINB was look ing at Carrolton with the soulful yet penetrating look that I so well re membered. I knew just what came next the low voiced remark that there were so few who really understood; from that to the "oversoul" was but a step. The oversoul was a certain ty. It always was wrth Lorraine. She was great on oversouls. But she never failed to wind up with hearts just one at a time. Add ed together, however, they amounted to quite a few. "Many a little makes a muckle" might have been her mot to. I let my thoughts and gaze wander to Letty Dayton, the only other mem ber of the house party whom the heat had not driven away limp and unlive ly. She was pretending to read a bock, but I knew that she would have caught the drift of it as well had it been upside down. All of us had supposed that there was an understanding between her and Carrolton until Larraine began operations. No one had known Letty was a shy little thing but we bad all felt rather sure of it. I could imagine how she felt, sitting there I (! i A 1 v.

"I know the loveliest, coolest place, Miss Dayton," I said, after a moment, "if you aren't afraid of a walk. It's a canyon full of ferns and things. And a little stream completes the ideal of coolness. It's a pretty place. Will you come?" I knew, without looking up, that Lorraine was listening to my lame description. She knew the place. I had shown it to her. And a great old place it was. "Yes, I'll come," answered Letty, promptly. "Wait till I get my hat." In a moment or so we were walk ing down the long, dusty road. She said little. It wasn't much of a day for talking. The heat beat down. A little color came Into Letty's pale face. She climbed the hills : s if she didn't mind It, I noticed that she seemed to require no assistance, that she ignored my hand, stretched out protectingly, again and again. I had had to half carry Lorraine up that last hill. And when we reached the the place she had quoted poetry. But Letty Dayton did not She sat down on a wide stone, much as Lorraine had done. But she did not go Into ecstasies over the place. "It Is beautiful here," she said sim $10,000 ,a;n;d AAA n n-o-rfl . , . ol-t r, ,oid month sin ce .she had a pair he MomCa Signed.

"I was raised In the country." "L too," I answered, "when I was a little chap. And I have never lost my love for it. It is a kinder place than the city, I think." "Yes," she assented, absently. "Carrolton came from the country, too, didn't he?" I ventured, tentative ly, just' to see how the beggar stood with her. But I didn't want to be answered, as I was, with a wave of flame. "His place was near ours," she an swered, more ooolly than was war ranted by her mantling cheek. "It was a beautiful place a rambling old house and acres and acres of land, about 1,500, I think. It was a pity to lose it. He sold it, like Esau, when his father and mother died. He put it into city property and made money, I think. But he gave up something finer than money." After that there wasn't much said. We sat in the pleasant silence that falls occasionally between those who understand. And, as Loiaine was wont to remark, they are few. We walked back to the house to gether in that delightful hour which follows the going down of the sun, our arms full of ferns.

But his tones dripped honey as he stopped me one night as we were leaving the dining room. He drew me a little aside. "Just a second," he apologized. "I haven't had a. chance before, and I want to thank you for your kindness to Letty. ''She's a mouse of a girl and doesn't take to everybody. So she's alone even in a crowd a good deal of the time." I looked him over before I an swered. And when I did my tone did not match his own. "I don't know what you mean," I said. "And I fail to understand, your reason or your right to thank me." He brought his handsome face con fidentially close. "You'll know some day," he said. "And we'll both thank you together." "Little Letty, too?' I groaned to myself. The others had gone and Carrolton followed. But I wanted to be alone. I drifted into the library and the cur tained window seat. Here I was not likely to be interrupted.

Hugh was Carrolton's name. There came a pause. ' Again Letty spoke. "What did you want to speak to me about?" she asked. At that the man found his. voice. "To ask you to marry me, dear," he said. "I I know I can make you happy. You shall never know an un gratified wish. I'll spend my life try ing to please you. I know I'm not half good enough, but " "What about Miss Edgewood?"

"You played It well." "Well enough to find the difference between gold and counterfeit," he an swered. There was a moment of si lence. Carrolton broke it. "Tell me it's all right, dear," he said in his iself-eonfldent way. "Its all right," said Letty evenly. My heart missed a beat Carrol ton's tone was triumphant.

"I said it was all right And it is all right. It is more than all right I have to thank you, even, for showing me something. I, too, now know the difference between metals.

"Say good-by, Hugh. I'm leaving tomorrow." "Is it good-by?" "It is," she said. "Try not to mind." He must have recognized the final ity of her words. Yet a question vexed him.

Liverpool ca bles this morning were substantially higher and that market was a good buyer here in the early trading. The crop estimate of the Memphis Commercial-Appeal placing the yield at 10,800,000 bciles, excepting linters, contributed to the market's strength. New high levels were recorded for nearly all positions. Notwithstand ing scattered liquidation was quite general. Trade expects the election as without cause for depression. Spot ' advices are becoming stronger and ORVIS BROS. & CO. ran farther behind Hughes than Bick ett did Wilson. Wilson In 75 counties was 1,279 ahead of Bickett, but Hughes in the same polling places had distanced Llnney 1,835. The incoming returns will hardly run the majority to 50,000 if the coun ties cast the usual vote. About half of those not reporting are very close, some are Republicans and not more than half the 25 will give more than 500 majority, if that. And with the tremendous vote cast it does not prim ise to go higher by more than 5,000 than the. highest former mark set in a national election. The 75 counties have already cast a. bigger vote than Parker received for President in 1904 only 25 of polling 150,000 four years ago. Bickett will doutbless exceed that and he should reach the 155,000 mark. aoYVO FORfjOT 1 By Annette Angert 1 another man cry. It was some time before I got up.
