personate Bess Hillyer- to secure
wealth, ease, splendor-everythin thai
the sailor girl had refused for duty
sake-yes, this was what she meant t.
do; but would she-could she succeed
Those who have nothing left to hope
Have nothing left to dread"
Her rescue by Terry-the accident
which had cast her at Paget Fasseps
very door-seemed to her most aus
picious beginning. Yet she saw that
she must not linger at Storm Island
Prompt action was now of prime i'm
portance. Parties from the cape might
quiries pushed even to Storm Island
At any rate, she must send such word
to the cove as would quiet the fears OF
Bess and Uncle Caleb. and put a stop
to further search. About Nigel Hume's
fate heartless little Rose actually cared
nothing.
Il would like to start at once" she
said to Fassel, with a pretty air of
eagerness. Il have nothing to take with
me, and, as l have already told you,
there is no one to whom l care to say
good-by."
That being the case" replied Fassel,
only one thing more need be consid-
cred. After the terror and exposure of
the night, do you find yourself strong
enough for the journey to Boston?"
Yes, indeed yes!" she cried, fever
ishly.
Then Terry shall hoist sail as soon
as breakfast is over, and take us to
the mainland. Before Mrs. Ellicott
sleeps l will deliver to her the heiress
that she has so happily chosen.
She looked a little frightened.
us Mrs. Ellicott so very rich?"
He smiled
Yes; but never mind, you will soon
become accustomed to riches"
She put out her dimpled hands with
gesture of entreaty.
II am only a wild, ignorant Maine
girl" she said, "and already 1 feel ter
ribly afraid of Mrs. Ellicott and her
grandeur In you seem to have found
friend-oh! may I ask you to stand
by me in the days to Gomez"
Her tender beauty. all infantile color
and curves. appealed to his strong mas
culinity with irresistible force. All the
chivalry of Paget Fassel's nature awoke
to answer her.
Stand by you?" he cried. Indeed
will! You can depend upon me, now
and always"
He took the little outstretched hands,
and held them firmly in his own. His
cold gray eyes kindled with sudden fire.
First, to breakfast, Miss Hillyer," he
said, glancing at the handsome table,
on which Norah's chicken and mullins
were now smoking. "and then we will
start Immediately upon our journey"
The first step was taken. She had
escaped from her idiot husband and the
cove. She was free-free! Now 1t re-
mained for her to snatch the fortune
which Bess had renounced. Sooner or
later discovery would come; but 1t
might not be till years hence. Mean
while she would drain one full cup Of
happiness-yea, she would have her
day

BIG CORNER IN COTTON.
Said That Livermore Has Control of
the Situation.

New YORK. Aug.6.-The entire sup
ply Of cotton stored in New York city
and vicinity available for delivery on
contract Is said to have been acquired
by ]. L. Livermore, the young broker.
who last May made more than ST.
100000 in a corner on the July OPP
ton. The New York visible supply
consists of only $4,000 bales Of cot
ton, worth about $1,S0O,OOO.
During the last two weeks cotton
has advanced in this market over
$3.50 a bale and the shorts have been
bordering upon panic. An enormous
quantity Of October contracts have
been sold short in New York, because
of the general belief of the trade in
reports from the cotton states that
an enormous crop will be gathered.
AS consequence. prices in New York
have been depressed far below the
commercial value of the cotton in the
south.
In consequence stocks in this CEN
ter have been bought and shipped
away: so that its available supply is
the lowest in several years. Mr.. Liv-
ermore and several other cotton men
began buying August contracts sever
al weeks ago, until they are said to
have acquired every bale not under
contract to the spinners and other
consumers.
The situation has been made all the
more remarkable by the fact that the
Farmers Union has secured pledges
from nearly every planter in the
south that he will not sell cotton be-
fore December below 10 cents, for
middling. That this pledge Is being
kept Is shown by the fact that in
southern Texas, where the crop Is
just beginning to make it's appear
ance. cotton has advanced within the
past week 40 to SO points.
A prominent member Of the cotton
exchange said yesterday that the
short interests in October amounts to
nearly 100000 bales. The total val
ue Of this cotton would be nearly
$50, 100000 The amount of the Liv-
ermore POOLS profit could not be
determined yesterday, as their hold
ings were acquired quietly. This cor
ner Is said to be the first attempted
in many years in New York in the
face Of an abundant crop. Daniel ].
Sully operated several corners before
his collapse, which was due more to
the treachery Of other members Of
the syndicate than lack Of strength in,
his speculative position. Sully put
the price Of cotton to 16 cents in one
Of his corners.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Her New Home.

"Faster-faster! Why do we not go
faster?"
The little adventures, the false
Elizabeth Hillyer, whispered the words
to herself again and again, as she sat
beside Paget Fassel and felt the train
whirling her away from her old life.
She knew that she was making much
bother and inconvenience for her COM
panion. Had she not taken him from
his island tower-his books and soli-
tude-to act as her conductor? Yet
he assumed the role with perfect resig-
nation, and seemed rather to like It.
He was exceedingly kind and attentive;
in every way he looked closely after
her comfort. At first he tried to amuse
her with conversation, but finding her
irresponsive and self-absorbed, he re-
linquished the effort, and left her to
her own thoughts.
Faster! Faster!"
For weary hours they must go on.
The train was not due in Boston till
evening.
She wore the blue flannel gown and
saucy Tam o'Shanter in which she had
escaped from the cove, and yet he did
not seem in the least ashamed Of her
on the contrary, no belle in velvet ana
diamonds had ever won from Fassel the
Difference he now showed to this little
Maine nobody cast so suddenly on his
nf
will. she had broken the silence be-
tween them, he began to speak OF his
sister.
II shall ask Edith to call upon you
Immediately" he said. 81 particularly

rs she very, very grand?" asked the
false Elizabeth, timorously. will she
frighten me?"
mo. indeed. What creature with half
heart would do that? Edith has the
kindest nature in the world. She will
love you at sight"
Tell me more about her"
First of all, she is the fast friend OF
Mrs. Ellicott. You will meet her con-
stantly in your new home. The dead
son of the house, Lepel Ellicott, was
once betrothed to Edith. 1t is sad
story-I need not speak of it now"
After awhile she began to show signs
of extreme fatigue The stiff, crowded
seat Of the car offered little comfort to
tired passenger Suddenly FasseI
perceived that the dark lashes had fat
len over her eyes. Without waking
her, he carefully drew the yellow chrlS
and pale. infantile cheek to the sup
port Of his own arm. A motherly wo-
man in seat behind the pair leaned
and offered FaSsel a shawl.
"It will do for a Pillow" she said
Your daughter SEEMS very tired
sir"
| He expressed his thanks, and quietly
adjusted the soft wool under the deli
cate head.
| His daughter! He remembered the
few streaks of gray in his hair. the
bronze on his cheek. and as he glanced

! curves and the rose-leaf color of the

Chairman Jones Sounds Note OF
Warning to White People.
State Democratic Chairman Wylie
Jones, in an address issued this af-
ternoon to the voters Of the state. ex-
presses the fear that the negroes may.
carry the state into the Republican
column on account of the indifference
of the Democrats in registering. He
considers several congressional dis
tricts in doubt. Chairman Jones in
his address says:
In view Of the great Indifference
which seems to exist among the DEM,
ocrats of this state as to registering
under the new law requiring all voters,
to register this year, / feel 1t to be a.
duty as your chairman to address you
in this public manner, and urge you 10
go to your county seats at once ana
register. There l. no doubt about the
fact that the negroes are registering IN
great numbers in some Of the coun-
ties, and If the Democrats do not reg
lister they cannot vote in the general
election in November next. and some
of our congressman may be defeated
The electoral ticket of this state may
also be endangered bv the failure of
the Democrats to register. The time
expires September 1st, 1908, and after
that 1t will be almost impossible to be
registered We have heard Of late va
rious threats that our representation IA
congress would be reduced by Repub-
lican congress on account Of our small
vote In the general election. All indf-
cations now are that the next house Of

In the mean time, / think the Saye

To DEFEAT LYONS PLANS.-One
meets people these days who openly
aver that the whisky element and ex-
dispensary grafters ct al. are exerting
their energies to elect Legislature or
their own kind, and thus block or frus-
trate the. plans of Attorney General D.
Frazer Lyon in prosecuting the graz
ters. No one could be found bold
enough to oppose Lyon. so the trick
seems to be to elect legislators who are
unfriendly to him. There are num-
bers of people in this state whose in
terests would be admirably served IN
the defeat of Lyons plans
Attorney General Lyon, while no
brilliant lawyer, is about the hardest
working, most persistent prosecuting
officer we have had in recent years.
He has encountered obstacle upon
obstacle in his work on the dis
pensary investigation, even his
own committee did not give him prop
er support and cooperation, to say
nothing of the Federal court interfer-
ence. But despite these things. Mr..
Lyon has persisted and is merely
awaiting for his hands to be united, to
act. 1t behooves the law-abiding peo-
ple Of the state to see that the work
already done is not ruined by the next
Legislature.
Yes, after reading over the testimony
taken in the investigation two years
ago. we are persuaded that there are
some residents Of South Carolina who
would welcome the defeat of Lyons
plans.-Laurens Advertiser

THE NEWS IN CHEROKEE.
Fishing at Thomson's Mill-The How
ellis Ferry Bridge Matter-children's
Day at Messopotomia.

Wilkinsville August 4.-Several Of
the Sharon people are coming over TO-
day to fish in the Thomson mill pond
on Thickety. Mr.. Garner, the miller,
will draw off the water for the occa-
sion A few weeks ago they came
and made a fine. catch.
Rev. j. p. Stevenson of Spartan
burg, will assist Rev. Geo. r. Ratch-
ford in a meeting at Salem, beginning
next Monday night, 10th instant. The
meeting is expected to continue all
through next week.
Our people of Cherokee county are
hopeful that they will yet get bridge
at Howells ferry soon. There SEEM
ed to be some blocking process in the
way which we think has about been
removed. We hardly think that so
necessary a convenience could be
denied the people of the two counties
York and Cherokee.
Cherokee county has already built
two iron bridges across Broad river
in the upper part Of the county ana
we people of lower Cherokee are only
asking for one half a bridge-York
county will build the other half. TIE
site selected for the bridge Is a very
desirable one and the roads TO and
from it on either side of the river Will
be free from hills. The proposed
route will leave the Howel's ferry
road a few hundred yards this side
Of Salem church and connect again
with the Hickory Grove road at the
old DR.. Wright place now owned by
the Messrs. Brown. The site selected
for the bridge is about half mile
above Howell's ferry. We believe
that If left to the people on both sides
of the river there will not be a dis
senting voice to the adoption Of this
site and route. =,
We are having a severe dry spell
Just now and crops in this section are
needing rain badly. Corn is firing
