ed the greatest success of any play

Mr. Roberts play is praised for it's

strong natural patriotism. 1t is
drawn from time when our country
was in its infancy, and has To do with
dashirg young captain of the con

trio were now foregathered in Singa-
pore. His personal appearance was
peculiar one. His height was scarce
ly more than four fest six inches. His
face was round, and at distance APP
peared almost boyish. 1t was only
when one came to look into it more
closely that it was seen to be scored
by numberless small Lines. Moreover,
it was unadorned by either beard or
mustache. His hair was gray, andwas
worn somewhat longer than is'usual.
He could speak fuently almost every
language of the east, and had been
imprisoned by the Russians for seal
ing in prohibited waters. had been tor
tured by the Chinese on the Yangtse,
and, to his own unextinguishable dis
grace, logged by the French in Ton
quin. Not the least curious trait in
his character was the affection he en-
tertained for Kitwater. The pair had
been together for years, had quarreled
repeatedly, but had never separated.
The record of their doings would form
an interesting book, but for want of
space cannot be more than referred
to here. Hayle had been their part
ner in not few of their curious I'M
dertakings. for his courage and. re-
source made him valuable ally,
though how far they trusted each
other it is impossible to say.
Breakfast over they adjourned to
the veranda, where the inevitable
cigars made their appearance.
"Now let's hear what you've got to
say to me ?" Hayle began.
"Not here" Kitwater replied. There
are too many listeners. Come down
to the harbor."
So saying he led his companions to
the water side, where he chartered a
native boat for an hours sail. Then,
when they were out Of earshot of the
land, he babe Hayle pay attention to
what he had to say.
"First and foremost you must under
stand" he said, "that it's all due to
Coddy here. We heard something of 1t
from an old Siamese in Hanoi, but we
never put much trust in it. Then
I Coddy began to look around, to hunt

"Sengkor how much?"
"Sengkor-Wat--the old ruin at the
back of Burmah, near the Chinese
border. Such place as you never
dreamt of. Tumble-down palaces,
temples, and all that sort OF thing
lying out there all alonein the jungle"
"I've seen Amber" said Hayle, with
the air OF man who makes a remark

He took the cholera, SO they said, but
have heard since that he died of S tar
walton. They don't feed you too we'll
in Dutch jails, especially when you've
got concession and consul"
The speaker looked up at his COM
panion as he said this, and the other,
who, as ! have already said, was not
interested in the unfortunate Stell-
man, or had probably heard the tale
before, nodded his head in the direc-
ton of the room where the smaller
man was engaged on his toilet, to the
accompaniment of splashing water.
The movement of the head was as sig
nificant as the nod of the famous lord
of Burleigh.
Just the same as ever" the other
replied. /" Always pushing his nose into
old papers and documents, until you'd
think he'd make himself i'll. Lord.
what man he would have been for the
British museum! There's not his
equal on ancient Asia in the world"
"And this particular business?"
"Ah, you shall hear all about it in
the proper time. That'll be tomorrow
morning, reckon. In the meantime
you can go to bed, and content your
self with the knowledge that, all being
well, you're going to play hand in
the biggest scoop that ever I or any
body else have tackled"
Mr.. Kitwater, for such was the name
OF the gentleman, began his prepara-
lions for the night, vigorously cursing
the mosquitoes as he did So He was
a fine-looking man, with a powerful,
though somewhat humorous cast of
countenance. His eyes were large and
not unkindly. His, head was good
one from chronological point of view,
but was marred by the possession of
enormous ears which stood out on
either side of his head like those of a
bat. He wore close-cropped beard,
and he was famous for his strength,
which indeed was that of giant.
"Hayle, if can sum it up Alright, is
just the same as ever" he said, as he
arranged the mosquito netting of his
bed. He doesn't trust me, and don't
trust him. But he'll be none the less
uSSlul loF tuat. Let MIN Try to play
me false, and, by the Lord Harry, he'll
not live to do it again.
With this amiable sentiment Mr.. Kit
water prepared himself for slumber.
Next morning they met at break
fast. All three were somewhat silent.
1t was as if the weight of the matter
which was that day to be discussed
pressed upon their spirits. The small
est of the trio, Septimus Codd by name,
who was habitually taciturn, spoke
scarcely word. He was a strange
little man, nineteenth century vii
lain in sense. He was rogue and a
vagabond, yet his one hobby, apart
from his business, was a study of the
past, and many an authority on east
ern history would have been aston
ished at the extent of his learning.
He was never so happy as when bur-
rowing amongst ancient records, and
it was mainly due to his learning in
the first place, and to a somewhat sin
gular accident in the second, that the

all right
"Codd speaks the truth" said Kit
water. Now, what we have to do is
to arrange the business part of the
matter, and then to get away as
quickly as possible"
The business portion of the matter
was soon settled, and Hayle was
thereupon admitted member of the
syndicate for the exploration of the
ancient town of Sengkor-Wat in the
hinterland of Burmah.
For the remainder of the day Hayle
was somewhat more silent than usual

his bedroom. "Kitwater is clever, I'll
admit that, and Coddy is by no man
ner of means the fool he pretends to
be. But I'm Gideon Hayle, and that
counts for something. Yes, think
it might be managed"
What it was he supposed might be
effected he did not say, but from the
smile upon his face, it was evident
that the thought caused him consid-
cradle satisfaction.
Next day they set sail for Rangoon.

Long Staple Cotton Growers.
Now that the cotton crop has been
planted, and being worked, II behooves
the farmer of the south to meet, and ex-
change views in regard to it, that all may
be posted as to acreage, prices and yield
expected in order to make profitable sales
in the fall and they can do this best by
organizing state and county associations
AS an example of what may be done 1
beg to call the attention of long staple
growers to the action taken by a small
number of farmers at Alachua, Fla, last
fall. The entire crop of long staple cot
ton does not average over $500 bales. 1t
has never reached 10000 bales but once
In 1900 with a crop between 5000 and go
900 bales the market opened at p 1-2 to
% 1-2 cents per pound, the latter figure
being the price paid here for the first
cotton sold In the fall of 1901 with the
prospect of a crop below the average,
buyers kept out of the market, only offer
ing is to Is cents for IT, Some time in Oc-
tober a few farmers held a meeting and
pledged themselves not to take less than
20 cents a pound for it. They held weekly
meetings and agitated the matter and
their membership increased to about 100
The movement attracted the attention of
farmers and merchants in other parts of
the state and Georgia who began to hold
back their cotton until about the last Of
November, when the Alachua County Cot
ton Growers association, the offspring
of the above mentioned meetings. sold its
entire crop for q cents per pound
The crop of 1901 will be between 5000
and $1,000, which will leave the spinners
short before the next crop begins to move
and If the long staple growers of South
Carolina and Georgia will organize state
and county associations and unite with
those of Florida, they will be in good
shape next fall to have say asOto the
price of their cotton.
