INCREASED COTTON MARKETS

kilograms published in the Sou
thern press during the past few
days from the principal cities in
all the cotton producing territory
show that the % per cent. reduc-
ton of acreage in cotton recon-
mended by the New Orleans con-
vention will be very generally
adopted.
The committee appointed by
that convention to interview
President Roosevelt and induce
him to recommend to Congress to
provide for a commission to visit
the countries of the Far East,
and impress on these markets the
great value of this staple, were ac-
corded a hearty hearing by the
President.
These gentlemen fully made
known to him the significance and
possibilities Embarrassing our trade
with them.
President Roosevelt expressed
himself as greatly interested, and

Louisiana, and Clay, of Georgia

seemed to be of the opinion thai
this could hardly be obtained a

favored the proposition.
This is a matter of the graves
moment to the South. Peace be
tween Russia and Japan may bC
declared at any time, and it is
highly important that the Com

A strange silence fell upon the group
There lay the German, huddled upon tEe
sofa, his face as white as death, his H-s
parted, his eyes half-closed- The crowd
without still Clamored for his death Tie
men within looked at one another blankIv.
Gentlemen, said Orlopp 1--WE have
begun too late. Let your friends know
of this There IS no human guard house
which will open to this man tonight
Bid them come in and see. Let them
know that our work is done.
They retreated from him in awe. look
ing back, afraid, upon the dead mans
face. In the street they shouted the
news-that the English doctor had killed
the spy, and that he would trouble them
no more. Those who doubted the truth
were invited to the room above. They
went up shouting that 1t was a cheat

him wistfully.
He told her that he would not.
Il thought of a drug when We were

you were busy below gave him a little
sleeping draft The food and drink were
an inspiration; they kept them busy while
the drug acted. Yes, there IS ALWAYS a
way if we have only the Wit to think of
it, Dolores. Go and sleep now There

passionately. He will know and under

She averted her eyes: but he caught her
suddenly in his arms and kissed her lips.

begin to hope"
He drew back the curtains at dawn
and the sunshine of a bright winters iav

Here at least, he would dare to breathe

would he cared nothing if by delay he
might cheat them yet.
Were ever minutes more precious in the
story of a life? Those wolves without
would burn the quarter if they thought
that the prey had escaped them.
Athirst for human blood, they cried for
volunteers to beat the door in, good C1tl-
zens to watch the garrets, sentr1es Tor
the side alleys, faggots for the burning.
And every word they spoke seemed to
come as from clarion trumpet to those
within the house Even brave MademOl-
selle Dolores trembled before their fury.

child. Edmund Orlopp alone walked
with a firm tread, and acted as one whose
resolution was sure.

do not judge them" she answered,
trembling still at the dreadful sounds.
You cannot save this man, Edmund
you have no right to give your life for
him.
Every right, Dolores, since 1t IS at
your bidding re is here When the need
arises, | will think of it. Obey me now,
and it may not arise. 1t IS something,
after all, to be the English doctor"
a smile crossed his usually passive face.
And bidding the German come with him,
he went to the balcony of his house, and
holding up lamp that all might see his
face and the face of the man who stood
beside him, he spoke to the people for the
second time that night.
1t had been impossible, he said, to take
his friend to the guard d-house-they could
see for themselves that the streets were
impossible. None the less, he admitted
that their demand for a verdict was Just.
Let your leaders come up here with me,
and we will Judge this man together" he
said And then he asked them: Am
less the friend of France than you? Is
MademOiselle MOrizon a traitress to her
country, she whom you have called a
Daughter of the People? Believe no
such thing If the man is guilty, he shall
die in this house. The judgment is with
you. Come up and hear him, and do not
forget that you are Frenchmen."
Thew listened to him amazed The
appeal 20 their reason did not fail him
That he spy had not escaped their eyes
told tllelll plainly. And they were prom
ised his death; yes. it must be that, for
they knew that he was guilty. Disputing
a brief while upon the names of their
deputies, they sent a dozen to the room
at last-men in uniform, civilians, the
keeper of the cafe, the fellow who had
picked up the paper, the leader of the
mob who first had asked for the Germans s
death.
These men found wine and bread and
meat upon OrlOpps table. Never did
wolves scent prey with keener nostrils
or eyes that so sparkled at its presence.
