A Rescue and an ESCAPE.

Miss Thorne's voice startled Mr..
Grimm a little, but he had no doubts.
1t was Monsieur B%oissegur. Mr.. Grimm
was going toward the Unframed figure
when. without any apparent reason,
the ambassador turned and ran along
the hall: and at that instant the lights
went out again. For one moment
Grimm stood still, daZed and blinded
by the sudden ~blackness, and again he
started toward the door. Miss Thorne
was beside him.

struggle in progress-there was the

The Blue Rose.

A nurseryman at gainesville, Ohio,
has developed a blue rose. This has
been a quest OF 1loricllturists, so the
new rambler is a triumph of science,
The green rose and the black rose
are interesting freaks, but they are
not beautiful. The blue rose, how
ever, snould be lustrou.5. 1t should
have about it that velvet glow whicb
makes the spell of rose. In the
minds of poets and mystics the blue
rose has long shed a fragrance over
the garden of dreams. 1t was said
that whoever had been aroused by tho
wild sweetness of the perfume of the
blue rose would eve rest again until
he had found the far clear heights
on which this rose is blown. 1t was
said that the blue rose cast 2 spell
over all who touched it. and that
life wa never again the same. Well.
the blue rose will at last be common
among men,, but the dreamer will still
lift his face to the stars.--Los Angeles

not, of course, come before the body
officially as the subject was not ger
name to the meeting. He stated that
the matter was one Of grave concern,
and cited the fact that the Governor
of Texas had requested his brother
executives to attend or send repre-
sentativeS to meeting of persons
from the cotton growing States. He
said that he hoped that the meeting
here would be Of great benefit and
was proud to see that North Carolina
was the first Of the States vitality in
terested to take official action in the
matter.
Every day brings it's depressing
tale of still falling prices. Yesterday
it was lower than the day before, as
has been the case for some time. A
complete understanding, determina-
ton to Loyalty cooperate in carrying
out such an understanding may work
wonders. To that end let every man

Of those interested in the production

ket at present, is set forth above.
This Is in pursuance to the call signed
by Commissioner of Agriculture Ora
ham and President of the State Farm
ers' Union H. Q. Alexander some days
ago, and which has met with hearty
response from all sources-the pro-
ducer, the banker, the buyer, the
merchant, all who feel and will con-
tinue to feel for some time the Ell
feet of a drop in the price Of cotton
of one-third as compared with last
year.
The time, next week, is propltIous
Of a good attendance, occurring as 1t
does during the State Fair, when
many had already arranged to be IN
the city. Every phase of the situation
Will be gone over, calmly discussed
and analyzed and there can be little
doubt but that some conclusion will
be arrived at.
