Suddenly. SO suddenly as Ia surprise
the old-timers. this remarkable young
man has sprung into international
prominence. a few weeks ago he was
practically unknown. To-day every.
body knows him. lie Is but an Illus.

IL Is one of the strange features OF
the present situation In the cotton
market that Sully took up the bull
campaign after Theodore "a. Price had

most spectacular figures In the cotton

As yet they had not met, nor had
Cluny any certain knowledge OF the
Swaflham's location. Mrs. Swa1ham
had learned that Cluny Neville was
personally Objectionable TO her hus-

Tho recent advance in cotton has

OF Sill zoe. 900 bales-and within about
three weeks there has been an ad.
vance OF about / cent. This advance.
too. has been without anything that
could be dignifcd by the term OF a
reaction.
In this great advance the manoever.
ings OF Sully have occasloned wide
comment and much attention. but the
men who have been sitting back reap
ing the real big profit out OF the af'
fair have said nothing. They are the
planters. The man with the goods

succession have been marketed at

Jane smiled gratefully. and her eyes
were dim with tears as she laid her
hands in Doctor Verity's to clasp her
promise. Yet when she reached her
room and sat quiet In It's solitude. no
one will blame her because many
thoughts of love and hope blended
themselves with the piteous ones she

and her heart stood still with fear

Matilda, running down stairs. Come

hurried up the steps and along the

stopped and threw open the door of a
darkened room.

cried. and look your last on one OF

.lsrself free, and stood a moment re-
sarding the placid face OF the dead
priest.
"Oh, God be merciful!" said Jaae.
and Matilda answered. yes. for men
know nothing OF mercy. Come. there
is more yet"
Then she opened the door next to
the death chamber. and Jane saw ly.
ing on a great canopied bed the dying
carl. His last breaths were coming In
painful sobs. but he opened his eyes
and looked mournfully at Jane for a
few moments. Then the physician
sitting by his side motioned authori.
tatively TO the two girls TO leave the
room.
He Is dying. You see that. lie

said Matilda. "he Is only waiting TO

With these words Matilda turned
sobblng away. and Jane. slowly at
first and then hastily. took the road
90 Swaffham. For she remembered
that the news which had reached de
Wick was probably at Swanham. So
she made all possible haste. and as
soon as she reached home she was
aware Of a change. Her mother came
quickly towards her. Her look was
hurried. but not unhappy. as she
cried, -Have you the news. Jane7
