CHAPTER xLIII.
THE QUALITY OF MERCY.

THE QUALITY OF MERCY.
Within the great house there was
silence. for the vistas OF the wide in
terror led far back from the street and
its tumult: nor did there arise within
the walls any sound of voice or foot
tau. OF the entire household there
was but one left TO do the master
service.
They entered the great hall. passed
the foot of the wide stairway, and
turned at the first entresol, where were
seats and couches. The servant paused
for a moment and looked inquiringly
at the lady with whom he now found
himself in company.

Madame" said the Swiss, grayely,
"his illness is that of grief. Monsieur's
failure sits heavily upon him"
asked the lady, for she noted the
dropping head of the man now reclin-
ing upon the couch.
'Not for many days and nights"
replied the Swiss. He has for the last
few days been under much strain. But

be alone for a time? If you please,

They approached the side of the
couch. Laws head lay back upon the
cushions. His breath came deeply and
slowly, not stertorously nor labored.
How strange" whispered the Swiss,
"he sleeps."
Such was indeed the truth.
Madame would be alone with mon
sieur?" asked he. 1T will be better.
Lady Catharine Knollys, left alone,
gazed upon the sleeper. John Law. the

APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR TO sUC-
 CEED HON. 6. E. GREENE.
Birmingham Lawyer to Go On Criminal Bench of Jefferson County Afs
 ter a Rugged Road to Reach

Hon. s. L. Weaver. of Birmingham. will be a judge of the Criminal Court of Jefferson County. Governor Cum ningham yesterday designated him for that distinction.
 The way to the judgeship for Mir. Weaver was opened by the promotion of Judge Samuel D. Greene of that court to the more lucrative position of Probate Judge of Jefferson County. MT. Weaver will not. however. get the place vacated by Judge Greene who was the senior udge of that court. Judge Dan A. Greene, the Associate Juudge of the Criminal Court was given a pro- motion to the senior Judgeship by the Governor and Mir. Weaver was appoin- i'd to the associate tudgeshtp.
 Mir. Viewers route to Judgeship was strewn with disappointments. He met string of consecutive disappoint- ments that probably no other judicai aspirant in the State ever encountered. Mr. Weaver was first nominated for ono of the judges of the Birmingham Consolidated Court. The Supreme Court declared this act unconstitution. al and the job for which Mir. Weaver was nominated was thue abolished. He was then nominated for one of the Circuit Judge for Jefferson County has provided under the Lusk judicial act. | xn0 GupIcnG AOhEb came AlOHk anu scotched another of Mir. Viewers am- bitions with decision which declared the Lusk act unconstitutional This second back handed blow of fortune was enough to have discouraged an orr dinary man. .pt4a Asst ffrsf .i.fsffs ft
 When Judge Samuel Green was nomi- mated for Probate Judge, Mir. Weaver applied for the vacancy on the orimi- nal bench. His application, was en- dorsed by two thirds of the Demo- cratic executive committee of ef- ferson County, by four of the five mem aDps of the Board of Revenue. by a large number of citizens and 1os mem bers of the bar of Jefferson County. The bar and several of the judges in that county, including Judge Dan Greene, Judge c. W. Ferguson. Judge N. B. Feagin and Judges Jackson and Jones. the two latter of Besseiner. en- dorsed him.
 :. It was said at the Capitol that Mir. weaver's endorsement was extraordi- narily good.
 Other applicants for the place werc W. P. McCrossin. Felix Blackburn, and Cunningham Hickman. It was also said that several other lawyers of Birmingham had their lightning rods up and were in a receptive mood so far as the judseship was concerned

DEVELOPMENT OF POWER ON THE

Most important Announcements Re- EardinG the Enterprises May Be Expected Sh0rtIy-Opening
 of Tale Mines in Alabama.

Baltimore, Oct. 2S.-(Special) )-The Manufacturers Record is informed that important announcements may he ex- pected shortly regarding the expedi- ling, of construction activities In con necfion with the development of the power of the Yadkin river in North Carolina. The officers of the company, lurtherinE this design whose invest ment will amount to probably $5.000.- 900. have lately visited the site of the development which contemplates the building of a dam 1500 feet long, 5S feet wide and 38 feet high, to cost I60O. 900 and to develop 46.000 horse- power.
 It is proposed to transmit this cleo lrically for the operation of manu- featuring and mining industries and other enterprises. This work. one of the big water-power developments of the South, was planned some time ago, and it Is interesting to note that dur Ing the past week three similar under. kakings on smaller scale have been an nounced in North Carolina alone. One company has been organized to deve- Ion about 5000 horsepower from Bath, Madox and Glenn shoals in the Sa- vannah river and to build an electric nlant for the transmission of power to cotton mills and the furnishing of light to nearby towns. For this about SesO.OOO will be expended. Surveys are now being made for the develop ment of Ring Jaw ShoaI by Soutl Carolina and New York men, while a conpany formed at Chester has pur- chased a site on the Broad river and will at once arrange for the develop ment of its water-power.
 For several months experienced min CTS and manufacturers of pyrites have hann Investigating pyrites deposits mar Pulaski, Va, and the results are ao satisfactory that a company has heen chartered with a capital stock of S5Oo.O00 to develop about thirty acres of land containing the ore. ZThe company has begun the erection of 12 furnaces which 1t Is understood will he increased to 100, for treating the ore and about 500 men will be employed This is one of the largest of the new southern enterprises reported during the week Others include the follow ing by States:
