There ia a heavy knocking at the
door. Maglolre immediately registera
apprehension.
The door ia already half-open when
the bishop, unperturbed, again calls

The gendarmes look astonished
Jean glares at the bishop. Ia this
some new trick?
"Tea, because I gave you the two
silver candlesticks, aa well, and
they're worth perhaps two hundred
francs. How did you come to leave
them behind?"
Jean ia too astonished to reply.
Tha bishop turns to the police:
"Didn't he tell you that the good
priest with whom he passed the night
gave him this silver?"

But during this Jean's attention

"She's afraid of me ! And to won

"Well, how do you know I won't

ply. Jean's expression plainly aays,
"That's, abeurd."
"You have faith in me, it seems?
Then I must do the same by you,
mustn't I? Good night"
( Jean stares at him, amazed.

"Then we can let him go?"
"Why. certainly! And give him

When they are left alone together,
Jean is almost overwhelmed. He
begins to break down.
"Is it true?" he stammers. "I
don't go back to the galleys? You'll
let me go free?"
When Is a Ma Free?
"When is a man free? I wish
someone could tell me. Yes, you can
go. And this time, of course, take
your candlesticks."
"You give them to me?"
'Long ago, Jean," the bishop says
gently. "I learned that life was to
give not take. Let me give. In
turn, promise me you, in turn will
give."

Jesn is unable to apeak. He drops
to one knee. The bishop puts his
hand on his shoulder.
"My door is never closed. Don't
use any other way furtively, In the
night The door ia the right way,

Loans On 1934 Cotton Crop
Extended For Six Months
The Commodity Credit Corporation
has advised the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration that the matur
ity date of cotton producers' loans on
the 1934 crop, commonly referred to
as 12 cent cotton loans, has been ex
tended from July 31, 1935, to Feb
ruary 1, 1936. Direct loans by the
Commodity Credit Corporation upon
eligible cotton under the 12 cent loan
plan will be available to producers
until July 31, 1935.
Extension of the maturity date of
these loans means that producers who
have obtained 12 cent cotton loans
may make repayment, obtain the re
lease of their pledged cotton ware
house receipts, and secure the advant
age of any market rises between now
and February 1, 1936. It means also
that no cotton pledged as security
for 12 cent loans will be taken over
or sold by the Commodity Credit Cor
poration prior to February I, 1936,
except as provided under the terms of
the loan agreement. One of these
provisions is that middling 7-8 inch
spot cotton must reach 15 cents a
pound on the New Orleans market h.
fore it can be liquidated by the Com
modity Credit Corporation prior to
the extended maturity date of the
loans.
With the present hither basis for
spot cotton, on many grades of cotton
producers in many sections have an
equity over and above the loan value,
plus interest and carrying charges.
This extension of the maturity date
will allow producers to avail them
selves of the opportunity of repaying
their loan and taking advantage of
any equities which they may have in
the pledged cotton.
Banks and other leading agencies
will be permitted to carry the notes
made subsequent to June 30, 1935, by
executing and furnishing to each Loan
Agency of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation holding such notes for
the bank or lending agency a sumile-
mental contract to purchase. Under
