Theodore H. Price on the Cotton
 Situation.

New York. Sept. 6.-Sinse the publiea- ton of tie Government report on cotton, strenuous efforts to discre1it it have been made by certain houses in New York, who are large dealers in spet cotton and whose purpose it is to break the future markets that they may buy spot cotton more cheaply. Owners and producers of cotton in the South should not, in my opinion. be terPorized by such measures into parting with their cotton. It is worth more than it Is selling for, and unless holders can be stampeded, it will bring such reasonable prices as they may dt IT and Theodore Il. Price.

mercy! What shall we do? They're
Concord people!"
Miss Pinkney was right as to the
newcomers being Concord people, but
wrong, terribly wrong, in suggesting
such a thing as trap.
Bilkins, Glimmer and Pettibone were
dashing across the stretch of treeless
plain straight toward them. They
looked most formida BILE, especially the
sheriff whose whole manner suggested
the avenging Nemesis of tabled origin.
"And this,' cried Miss Betty, pas
sionate reproach in her every tone,
"this is your doing, Mr.. Herbert! Your
base plot will fail, but shall never for
get it, never, never!"
She cut her horse with the whip and
the animal sprang away so swiftly
that Miss Betty's becoming hat was
jerked from her fair head and fell to
the bottom of the carriage.
AS for Guy, he was stricken dumb in
his tracks. He could say nothing, do
nothing simply stand where he was
and watch the carriage disappear on
one hand and the shouting and angry
trio advance on the other.
What untimely fate had brought
Bilkins and Glimmer to the sheriff's
rescue and made possible this awful
finale?
Guy was soon to know.

CHAPTER XII.

Guy had an idea that he might tele-
graph Miss Vlandingham he would be
at Lake Elizabeth at four o'clock, but
that. through circumstances over
which he had no control, the sheriff
would accompany him. A little refec-
ton convinced him that it would not
be we'll to send a message of this kind;
so, instead of that, he sent the fol-
lowing:
''Please appoint another day, same
place"
This was tantamount to saying that
he would not be able to meet Miss
Betty at the rendezvous and Guy, high
ly pleased with the way he had gotten
around the difficulty, returned from
the telegraph Office to the hotel. I'm

great man did after that will soon ap-
pear. -
Pettibone joined Guy at dinner. Aft
er the meal they smoked their cigars
and chatted in friendly fashion until
three o'clock, when young Alec drove
a high stopper and a covered buggy
up to the hotel veranda. Guy and the
sheriff Immediately got into the We
hicle and drove of, leaving young Alec

too much at stake.'
"All right, then. I won't be gone
more than half an hour"
Thereupon the sheriff strobe of
down the street and Guy went up on
the veranda and seated himself. At
that hour Pedro Smith was in the
kitchen overseeing the preparation for
dinner. Guy was alone in that quarter
and he removed the pink envelope very
gently from his pocket and opened
it and drew forth the perfumed sheet.
1t was really from Miss Betty and his
heart beat faster than usual as he
read the dainty writing.

"P. S.-Miss Pinkney will accompany
me, but I shall expect you to come
alone. E. ""
The joy which Guy felt over this pro-
posed meeting with Miss Betty was
lost in the CONSERVATION which sud-
denly seized upon him. By what
strange coincidence had she appointed
for their meeting the very place, day
and hour fixed upon by the duellists
for their affair of honor? And how was
he to go alone when he had already
agreed to go with the sheriff. ANY,
how, how could he 60 alone any
place?
Guy was in despair. He did n ot see
how he could possibly engineer affairs
so as to prevent Miss Betty from get
ting the idea that he was two-faced
and had betrayed to the sheriff the
contents of her letter.
Here was dilemma of gigantic pro-
portions, and how was he to get around
