Of course Donald was a most foolish
und obstinate boy. There could bo no
question about that. lie had a good
position in tho house of a vory rich and
a vory liberal paUou. His dulios were
not onerous, but such as they wore he
fulfilled them in a most conscientious
mannor. The position might have
been a snap, hut Donald did not look
at it in that way and all his waking
hours were givon to the doing of
things, required or not, which should
make for the betterment of the stables
of his omployer aud all thoy contained.
Donald had not had any education
to speak of?that is, any education
lying wkhiu the rea'm of books, and
what traiuiug ho had came from tho
sterliug discipline of his good Scotch
mother.
Anyway it so happened that tho
union of his mother and father had not
proved most fortunate, and the rugged
qualities of tho material Scotch had
been neutralized by tho iudecisivo
charaelor of tho father with his mix
luro of French and American blood.
A5t auy rate, when tho boy was a movo
child, both parents died, aud Donald
wks placed in servitude with the family
of tho woalthy Ilobatt Waylor. His
placo was in the stables and right faith
ful work did ho do with the horses and
vehicles. For besides tho Scotch blood
iu his vchis, which niado bitn faithful
ami persistent in his duly, thoro weie
tho lessons iio had boon taught at his
mother's kneo, who had instructed
him when a more baby to be tho? ough
and careful in all tho efforts of life,
lie could not help il?no moro than
could she, it was tho horhagc of tho
ages.
So ho plodded along, putting up with
the sneers of the lackoys and other em
ployees, who laughed at his conscien
tious work, as best ho could. It was
no small comfort to this homeless and
lunuaomo boy to come in contact with
Ethel, tho golden-haired Hille daughter
of the house, whoso thirteen years
' seemed to givo lua fourteen something
of a right to protect and guard over
her. Being a bonnio lad and handy
with tho horses, he found him
self almost always her companion?or
groom, on the afternoon rides, and
thero were rare aftoi noon raciugs over
tho flue country roads and through the
groves. And through it all Donald was
. execcdiug careful and releasing the
high spirit of the girl as well as his
own siq ovior strength and skill with
? the horses, he often taxed his iugonulty
to permit her to win, albeit it required
the utmost Bircnglh and tact with bis
own horse, crazed w;lh the cxchciucnt
of tho course?aud his own youthful
her.d not so cool as it might have been.
For racing for a goal wnh a Hue Steed
under you is not so cold bloo?ed a
proportion as would naturally permit
the average boy to regard it as a mere
incident.
Tho days and weoks and months
merged into years, and all the time
Donald became more aud moro satis
fied with life?especially as be rode
with MUs Ethel by day and dreamed
of her by night. For she was in truth
a bounic lass to look upon, with bei
bright blue laughing eyes, and her
sunny' yellow hair, and her red lips
and her lithe pud graceful physique.
? She inspired Donald to great thoughts
and filled his sturdy youug mind with
lofty piuposcSi And as bo grow older
and worked hard o' nights m his hLi'e
loft in tho bavi>, Uyiug, poor boy, io
koop paco with Irs goldou-haircd In
spiration as she traveled t oug the
path of learning with her prorossou
aud masiors, a gicat purpose and a
great inspiration caine into his miud
and heart. Whi'e it was hard and
sometimes diftCOP .;gi:?g to him bo
ci.nie month by month to realize that
his brain was aide to solve the prob
lems presented by the books and the
high spirit of independence, which
ovor characterized his iaco, grew in
his youug heari uutil he wh'ftpe-cd
softly to himself: " Why uoi? Why
am not I as good as she? Without
masters or teachers I am able to loach
her day by day how 10 do her tasks.
Why can not I po out aud conquer tho
world aud come kick and?" and then
his dream went off into the ro3y realm
wheic it really is not safe to voueh for
their accuracy or their sanity.
And then came the crash. Ethel
hat! a .lived at tue age of si-rteon, aud
was about to launch forth as a young
lady in tho deviouB and alluring paths
of society, under the bkillful tuloiahip
of her mother. And Ethel was a
willing student?and an apt, and tho
horse-back rides and tho romps be
came fewer aud fewer and Donald
> fretted bis youug spirit sore. I?ut he j
wns patient and fauhful and many a 1
time when sorely disappointed did he '
catch the gleam of kindly sympathy I
from the eyes of Jennie' Gray', the
young ninid who served Ethel.
*' A fine lass," ho Laid tu bimsen,
" An' 1 pity her for having to spend
her time in the great bouso with its
sordid atmosphere. Hut slill it is
worth all the trouble and humiliu
tiorf to bo near Ethel all the lime.
Ono day after an exhiliaraliog ride
with Ethol, incidont to which there
had beeu ccnsidorablo talk of books
and studies, Donald, warmed by tho
companionship and exahod by his own
thoughts, liugered at the doorsteps,
> after helpiug Ethel down, and poured
out his hopes and asphations?bis
dreams of an academic education and
a career as a surgeon. Then he would
return, he said, and lay his reputation
and his money at her feet.
The blue-eyed little patiician gazed
at him with curling lips and bla;.lug
eyes.
4< You!" she oxclaimed scornfully,
M you indeed. You folget that you
ave my groom. How dare you spcaK
of such things to me. Youv foo!it>h
head has been spoiled wilh too mu'Mi
kindness aud too many hooks. Surgeon -
indeed?a veterinary, maybe." And
she laughed inenily at her little joke,
" I will tell papa of your impudenco,
and if ho does not discharge you I will
see to it that you do not ride with me
any more. I would have you know,
sir, that I am to many a gentleman.
This impudence comes of treating
servants like human bo'ngs."
She swept into the house, leaving
Donald standing, stunned, besido the
horses. Her little maid, Jennie Gray,
who had come to meet her mistress,
had been an involuntary listener lo tho
scorntul speech, saw the pain and hu
miliation which came into Donald's
eyes, and before going into the house
went to him, and laid her hand on his
arm.
"lam sorry for you, Donald," she
said, her eyes wet with sympathy.
" But you must not mind. He a groat
surgeon anyway."
He shook hor off roughly and turned ;
away, but an instant later sprang to her <
sidoj 1 1
m Forgive me," he said, ?? I do not
know what I am doing. Thank you
for your kind words. 1 wll always
remember them. And?and I will be
a great surgeon."
He sprang on his horse and went
clalloiing to tho stable.
Aud ho did become a great surgeon.
This sioiy is all loo short <o follow bis

COTTON TEN CENTS PER I?B.
The Prediction is Based Upon
the Government Report This
Month.
Tho government roport on the 3rd
inst. has caused quite a flurry among
the speculators, and tho mills in the
South are said to be anxious about the
situation, as the majority of them will
need cotton very soon, the supply on
hand being very short. The bureau
leport is the worst ever issued in Sep
tember, and if correct an advance of
coUon w'd buroly come, which in itself
would be almost unprecedented, as
b'gh prices early in the season are
seldom realized. The readers of 'I'm;
Cotton Plant can draw their own
conclusions upon the statements here
with given.
The mouthly report of the statisti
cian of the department of agriculture
shows the average condition of cotton
on Aug. 20 to have been 64, as com
pared with 81.0 on July ?G ; 71 4 on
Aug. 24,1901 j 0S.2 on Sept. 1, 1000,
aud a ten-year avoiage of 73.7.
Tho present unprcccdently low av
erage ot conditions, which is two
tenths of a po<nt lower then the condi
tion on Sept. 1, 180G, is due mainly to
the reports from Texas and Alabama,
in imid of which States the prevailing
conditions are nothing less than dis
astrous. The average for Texas is
three points lower than at the corre
sponding date in 1805 and 1001, and is
the lowest over reported for that Slate.
Iu Alabama also, the ciop is the poor
est ever known. Georgia reports 0
poiii8 below its ten year average, the 1
condition figures being one poiut (
below the corresponding averages iu
1800 and 1000. The condition in
Eouisinna is the same-as on Sept. 1,
1000, or 6 points below its ten year
average. Mississippi reports 7 points
below- its ten year average, but its
condition is still 8 points above that
at the corresponding date in 1900.
South Carolina is within 1 point of its
ten year average and North Carolina,
Tennessee and Arkansas are 2 points,
7 points and 1 point above their re
spective ten year averages. There aro
genoral complaints of the premature
opening and imperfect development of
bolls and from South Carolina, a State
who8"e prospects are far from beim;
among the most favorable, the state
ment is made on the authority of gin.
ners I hat about 14 per cent, more socd
cotton is required for a 500 pound bale
than in an average year.
The average condition in the diffor
ent Slates follow:
Virginia, 80 ; North Carolina, 80 ;
South Carolina, 74 ; Georgia, 68 ;
Floiida, 75 ; Alabama, 54 ; Missis
sippi, 68 ; Louisiana, 70 ; Texas, 63 ;
Aikansas, 75; Tennessee, 82; Mis
?ouii, 73 ; Oklahoma, 76 ; Indian
Territory, 08.
Mr. Theodore H. Price, of New
York, thinks cotton will briug ten
cod Is a pound this season, and his
reasons therefor are given in the fol
lowing interview, which has been sent
throughout the South:

crop of 10,000,000 bales of Amorican
cotton.
*? The world consumed during tho
year just ended 11,000,000 bales of
American growth, and iu order to
make this supply svflice vr etvos
everywhere are practically exhausted.
For the coming season the world will
require, conservatively est oated.
about 11,250,000 bales of .Auioricau
coltou. Thoie is then a theoretical
deficiency between the maximum tup.
ply and the raiulmum detnand of at
least 1,250,000 brles. An actual dc
Uciency is commercially uotbinkable.
The price must go to a Ogino that will
check consumption. This price is by
no means reached yet. America has
a practical monopoly of cotton ^.oduc
tion. Peeco reigns universally througu
out the world, industtial and commer
cial enterprise is unchecked aud ex
panding. Next to food stuffs cotton
is the most important and necessary
utaplo consumed by civilized st ciety. |
? I think it ontlrcly probable . that
before any effect .upon consumption is
apparent cotton will be selling at 10
cents a pound in the Soulh and doubt
if tho advauco will slop there. If pro
ducers of tho articlo are wise they will

That's the personal question a woman
asks herself when she reads of the cures
of womanly diseases by the use of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Why shouldn't it cure ner?
Is it a complicated case? Thousands
of such cases have been cured by ? Fa
vorite Prescription." Is it a condition
which local doctors have declared in
curable? Among the hundreds of thou
sands of sick women cured by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription there
are a great many who were pronounced
incurable by local doctors. Wonders
have been worked by "Favorite Pre
scription" in the cure of irregularity,
weakening drains, inflammation, ulcera
tlon and female weakness. It always
helps. It almost always cures.
"Three yean ago," writes Mrs. John O rah am,
Of aoi8 riumb Street, (Prankford) Philadelphia,
