significance In the fact that alien
nations that never saw a cotton plant
have long since entered the Kingdom
Of Cotton and now divide dominion
among themselves, excluding the
United States--the country in which
the cotton is grown.
The reign of cotton is forever. AS
long as the race survives cotton
goods will be worn In multiplying
forms, but the countries that now sell
the finished products of cotton to the
world have no assurance Of perma-

mate control in the cotton world is
inevitable. Our manifest destiny as
world trader In cotton goods looms
as menace across the horizon of
European states. Americas future
in this fabric has awakened the
statesmen of all countries save our
own. The wealth and progress of
the United States are enduringly in

Of all cotton-consuming continents.
The home for the dynasty of cotton

England is adding to its cotton spindles at
the rate Of more than 100000 every 80 days!
In the last IL months this increase In the

Proved His Theory, but Died.


 The acme of realism was reached, though by accident, in a criminal trial a number of years ago at Lebanon, o. Two men had a personal encounter. One of them after vainly trying to draw his pistol from his hip pocket turned to flee. A moment later he fell, shot in the small of the back. One chamber of his pistol was found to have t,een fired. His assailant was tried for murder. The defense con- tended that the man had shot himself while trying to draw his pistol. which had become entangled in the lining of the pocket, and that the prisoners shot had not taken effect. The prosecution contended that such a wound could not have been self inflicted The defend ants counsel, Clement L. Vallandig- ham, undertook to demonstrate to the jury just how the dead mans pistol had hung in the pocket and just how possible it was to inflict such wound. Suddenly there was a loud report, and the lawyer sank to the floor. The ball had entered the back almost in the identical spot where the dead man had been shot. The defendant was acquit- ted MT. Vallandigham died. - Ex- change.

CHAPTER XIII.
Instinctive Planning.


 Mans unconscious action Is strange thirg. Athlyne had just heard words which took from him a strain under which he had suffered for a whole week of waiting and watching; words which promised him the opportunity for winch he had 1onged for many weeks. His nerves had been strung to tension so high that now it would seem enly natural if the relief sent hin, into a sort of delirium. But he quetly lit a cigar. taking care that it was properly cut and properly lit. and smoked luxuriously as he moved across the garden and into the street. Joy from her window saw him go, and her admiration of his ease and se1f-posses- sion and magnificent self-reliance sent fresh thrills through her flesh.
 When Athlyne went out of the gar den he. had evidently made up his mind. consciously or unconsciously. to some ether point in connection with the motor for he visited such shops as were open and made some purchases caps. veils. cloaks and such like gear suitable for the use of a tall young lady These he took with him in hired carriage to the hotel at Bowness, where he added them to certain others already sent from London Then he told the chauffeur to give the car a careful overhauling so that it be in perfect order. and went for a stroll up the Lake.
 Shortly he was in a mental and phy- sical tumult: the period which had elapsed since he heard the news of Colonel Ogilvie's coming departure had been but the prelude to the storm. At first he could not think; he had no words no sequence of ideas. not even vague intentions. He had only sensa- tions; and these though they moved and concentrated every nerve in his body were without even physical pur- pose. He went like one in a dream But in the background of his mind was a fact which stood out firm and solid like the profile of a mountain seen against the glow of a western sunset. Joy would be alone tomorrow; the opportunity he waited for was at last at handi The recognition of this seemed to pull him together. to set all his faculties working simultaneously;
