Almost another year had passed,
and all nature was bursting into bloom

She gave q little cry Of dismay as
she read it. 1t was from her father.
Her mother was sick. he said. He dis
liked TO ask them TO break in on their
school work. but could one of them

wouldn't be at all necessary for them

GLADYS threw down the letter and

"Where are you gong?" asked Ma

after she had read it.
1t was only by dint Of much argu-

his shoulders were stopped YEARLY.
II didn't want TO take you out OF

Gladys tiptoed to the room where
her mother lay sleeping, She was toss

His face was so twisted with pain

He led her along in silence till they
came to a little clump of trees that
stood back a short distance from the

seat in the fantastic shadow cast by
the lopsided moon and threw himself

BLEASE WILL NOT INTERFERE.
Says Circumstances Do Not Warrant
His Interference.

Columbia, Dec. 5.--Gov. Blease
gave out this afternoon a statement
saying he saw no reason at this
time for interference with sentences
of Darlington and Young, wreckers
Of the Seminole Securities company.
He thinks they ought to confess. If
circumstances indicated the just
ness Of interference and it should la
ter be brought to his notice he might
do something for them.
The governor intimates that evil
dence hacing an important bearing
on the case, has been covered up to
shield others.
Circuit Court Clerk Walker has not
yet transmitted judgment in the case
to the sheriff so that no arrests have
been made as yet.

Low Cotton Has Depressed COndi-
lions IN SOuth-VariOus Businesses.

New York, Dec. 1.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Weather and holiday influences
have dominated distributive trade
this week. Cold weather throughout
wide area, penetrating far to the
South, has helped fashionable trad.
in winter grades while spring trade
fastened to conservatism.
The influence Of the low price of
cotton upon Southern trade is still
perceptible in the reports Of de-
pressed trade and rather slow collec-
tions and the advices of widespread
holding Of cotton by farmers. In
deed, the slowest trade reports now
come from that section.
Among the industries there is evil
dent rather fuller volume of pro-
duction than for some time past.
Prominent in this line are iron and
steel. evoked probably by the recent
placing Of liberal car orders by rail
