CHAPTER XN.
THE OLD STORY.

"This Is worse than l feared. My
Judgment has misled me; l was TOO
precipitate."
Such was the comment Of uncle
Sam on my story of the seQuins.
had told him without reserve, and as
accurately as l could, all that had
read, heard, seen, and experienced in
respect Of those fatal coins. He lis
tened with deep attention, uttered the
words have set down, and then fell
into a reverie in which he remained
SO long that at last l reminded him
that we should soon be expected down.
stairs.
Ernest" said my uncle, without
noticing my observation, from what
you tell me 1 am now assured that
your father was robbed Of quarter
of a million sequins five or ten days
before l left HOldenhurst; and l am
equally positive that the thief is none
other than that lying hypocrite Adams.
That l mentioned the legend Of Roger
Trueman's treasurer to your father
the evening first saw you is true; and
l believe it is true that l again men-
toned il when l went with him
through the crypt a day or so later.
The statements Of Adams that he pro-
vided me with lamp, that he after
wards found ME in the crypt and
smoke with me there, and yet later
knew ME to spend the greater part OF
a night in that place, are simply lies,
which / could disprove to his con-
fusion if only had an opportunity to
cross examine him. AS | live, swear
| have been in the crypt OF Holden
hurst Hall once, and once only. since
| first set foot. OH this continent; and
then, as l have said, l was accom-
panied by your father Whether
Adams has confederates or not puz-
zles me to decide. 1t is a great pity
that so much money should be lost to
your father. If only he had told me
all that l have just learned from you,
we had still been friends, and his Sc
Quins might easily have been recov-
cred; now one is impossible, and tine
other improbable.
IF ADAMS is indeed the thief
said, 1t Is clear that lie has confeder-
ates. How about the sequin which
housemaid told my father she found
in your bedroom"
If Adams is the thief exclaimed
uncle Sam bitterly. But, Of course
he added, after pause; however
well you may think of me, you cannot
at present know positively, and of
your own knowledge, as do, that the
account of my doings supplied by that
rogue Adams is lies, lies, nothing
but lies. Why should that old man,
whom l have never offended, so glar-
ingly perjure himself in throwing sus-
picion of a crime upon me If not to
shield himself? With regard to the
sequin in the bedroom, 1t was placed
there that it might be found and taken
to YOUR father. o Ernest, your faith
er's want of acumen has played the
very nuisance with his affairs; his
patrimony alone has saved him from
starvation. If he were here, no man
would give a dollar for any service
he could render l must be growing
like him if by tomorrow morning
have not thought out some plan which
will checkmate a plot conceived and
worked by senile Suffolk thief. Let
us talk no more of this matter to-
night. Follow me-"

vailed.
The week ending s a. m. July 4,
had a mean temperature Of eighty de-
grees, which is practically normal.
The extremes were q minimum Of 60
at Greenville on the first, and maxi
mum Of 81 at Blackville, Spartanburg,
and Yemasee on the 2sth, 29th and
30th, respectively.
The sunshine was normal, or slight
ly below; the relative humidity about
normal, and the winds light to fresh
and variable as to direction.
Showers occurred over the eEtire
State; they we're heavy in the north
ern counties and at places along the
coast, and they were fairly heavy to
light in all other sections; drought
continues in parts Of Colleton, Green
wood, Kershaw and Bamberg counties
and over very limited areas in q few
other counties, but generally the rain
fall was sufficient for the needs of all
crops, and in places the drought was
thoroughly relieved. The rainfall was
heaviest in Chesterfield and Marlboro
counties, where the amounts ranged
from three to nearly five inches.
Damaging hail occurred in few small
widely separated localities.
The general condition Of all crops
Is better than last week, and the
rains interfered but little with farm
work except in the two counties
named above, and in parts OF adjacent
counties. Field crops continue clean
and well cultivated.
In the droughty sections corn Is
firing" and turning yellow and is
tasseling low, but the crop as whole
has improved; early corn is in the
silk and tassel stage and has been laid
by in good condition. Corn planted
on stubble lands has good stands.
Cotton is growing rapidly and fruit
ing heavily, with some blooms noted
over the entire State; on sandy lands
the crop Is fine and Is as far advanced
as usual, but it is small and about
two weeks late on clay and red lands.
Sea Island cotton is doing well re-
Gently.
Tobacco curing has become general.
In places the crop was damaged by
hail; new and undesirable growth
has started in places after the recent
rains. The early rice crop has deteri-
Grated slightly owing to the scarcity
of fresh water for harvest flooding,
but the crop is still fairly promising.
Peas sown on stubble lands and plant
ed with corn have good stands. Sweet
potato slips have been set out extern
sively and are doing well. Pastures
and gardens improved where the rain
fall was sufficient, but are scant and
poor in the dry sections. Peach ship
ments continue heavy, but peaches are
scarce in many localities; berries are
plentiful. Melons are being market
