Senton s room was not entirely closed,
and as Miss Hastings drew near she
recognized Ralphs voice. He was
speaking excitedly.
"You are silly to take on So" he was
saying. Hendricks and his gang may
search till doomsday and never know
the truth. I have fixed that Montcsstle

Miss Hastings paused. The carpet
had muffled her footsteps. They did not
know she was near.

cautioned Alice, and the door was sud-
denly closed. Miss Hastings retreated,
white and quivering, to the library and
sat down again. She covered her face
with her hands and tried to reflect. No;
she would never entertain that thought.
Ralph Benton was her ideal, her con-
ception of all that was manly aud noble
in man. 1t might seem to others that
he was guilty, but she would never be-
lieve it, And yet how strangely he had
acted when he came down from his
room just before the body had been
found! And then the words which she
had just verheard-what could he have
meant?
Miss Hastings happened to glance in
to large pier glass which reflected
part of the hall in the direction of Alice
Benton's loom and saw Ralph ap-
preaching. 1t was the first time she
had caught his face in repose since the
murder, and the sight of it shocked her
inexpressibly He was white and bag
gard, and his eyes were beginning to
be bloodshot.
He came into the library, started
slightly on seeing her and then ad-
vanced, With smile.

CHAPTER XII.

CHATTER XII.
That afternoon at o'clock Dr. Lamp
kin called at the hotel designated by
Hendricks and was informed by the
clerk that the detective was in his room
and had left orders for him to come up
at once.
The room was at the head of the first
flight of stairs. Lampkin raped.
'Come inp' The doctor started, for
the words seemed to come from the
crack beneath the door. Lampkin turned
the knob and pushed. The door opened
about six inches, struck something
and stopped. 1t was the head of the de-
tective, for when Lampkin had looked
through the narrow opening he found
Hendricks on his hands aud knees on
the floor.
"Oh, 1 beg pardonr' he laughed,
rising clumsily. II forgot that / was
blocking the way. Look out! Don't step
on that thing"
"What in thunder are you doing?"
asked the doctor, stepping cautiously
over black suit of clothes which the
detective had carefully stretched on the
floor.
"Shf' Hendricks closed the door.
"Old man Benton's," he went on with
a grin. II presume you think I am
mad, eh?"
"Method in it; I'd bet on that" re-

"How's that?" he asked.
"How's what?" asked Lampkin.
''What are you doing?'
"Want to get him fixed as mach like
without stuffing. For little I'd rip up
that mattress and utilize the contents.
The more like old Benton it looks the
slicker my brain wheels revolve Ideas,
ideas, my friend!'
"What do you expect to get out of
that suit?''
''Two fifty at secondhand store, !"
replied the detec.Ive. He blrst into a
little laugh and abruptly relapsed into
intense thoughtfulness.
II can sec that you are deeply inter-
ested," observed Lampkin.
"Why, old sawbones?'
If You were not, your joke would
not have been so lame"
''Not too much interested to enjoy

: New ORLEANS, Feb. 19.-Mr. II. NJ.
Ncill, the we'll know cotton statis-
t%ician, to-day issued a circular as to
the probability of consumption Of
American cotton for the current sea-
son. After reviewing .hc results of
previous seasons Mr.. Ncill says: In
America the Southern n.;lls are doing
we'll and will probably consume 1907
600 bales more than last year. But
the reverse is the case with the
Northern mills.
With these premises we may now
form Il fair idea Of the actual consump-
ton Of American cotton during the
year ending the lst Of September, 1879.
Now as to supply, European and Amer
lean mill stock Sept. l, 1897, 100000;
visible supply American Sept. I, 1897,
500, 600; crop Of 1897 rs, 11,000,O00;
total supply Of American for the year,
12,200,000. From which, deducting
total consumption Of all countries
9,030,000, and you have left.with Wis.,
IDLE and %spinners' stocks 3,150,000
against visible SOC, 900 and spinncrs'
400, 000 last year, 1900, 900. Visible
and invisible excess at Sept. l over
last year, 1850 600.
While | have used the figures of
1000, 900 bales in these calculations
it is quite manifest from the move
rent nat the crop will be consider

Washington. March %. Cabinet meeting
to-day was devoted 10 4 discussion Of the
Spanish situation in general. and the forthcom-
ing report Of the Maine Court Of inquiry in par
ticular The tone of the discussion was to the
effect that an end must come to the present
state Of affairs IN Cuba.
There is no doubt that substantial unanmty
exists between the President and all the merl-
bers Of the Cabinet
The possibility Of a recourse 10 Intervention In

10 the representations the President makes az
ter receiving the Maine report has been fully
discussed. although necessarily il has been an
abstract discussion thus far. and no conclusion
has been reached or is possible until the vital
question n the Courts findings are before
the President and Cabinet.
At the same time there is an intention 10 CON
slider all eventualities. including :ha recourse
to intervention the recognition Of independence
and other methods which appear 70 meet the r.
quirements Of such a condition. II IS believed
10 be the Intention Of the President however
70 bring about satisfactory condition ~ af
