A HOld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence a
coffee combine which Is ''the most monstrous inn
position in the history OF human commerce."
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. It comes very close to being literally
true. There is a coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
In the United States, which is backed by the gov
ernment of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pels American consumers, Mr.. Webb said Ito
pay famine prices for coffee when famine
exists
The worst thing about this is that the eonsum-
ers Of the United States have been compelled TO
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes we're removed Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee up to the full amount Of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury Of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued 10 cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement The
"valorization' plan was evolved in Brazil
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands Of the
market and permitting the planters TO receive
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world We are the
best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from us Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect

CHAPTER XXX.
soIononsa Last NIaht.

It had been with no little reluctance
that Solomon Mahary accompanied
Yancy and Cayendish to Belle Plain;
he would have preferred to remain in
Raleigh in attendance upon Judge
Price. Intimately acquainted with the
judges mental processes, he could fol-
low all the devious workings OF that
magnificent mind; he could fathom
the simply helitsh Ingenuity he was
capable Of putting forth to accom-
plish temporary benefits. Permitting
his thoughts to dwell upon the min
gled strength and weakness which
was SO curIousiy blended IN Slocum
Prices character, he had horrid vi
sions of that great soul, freed from
the trammeis OF restraint, contiding
his melancholy history to Mr.. Pegloe
in the hope of boistering his fallen
credit at the City Tavern.
Always where the Judge was con-
cerned he fiuctuated between extremes
of doubt and confidence. He felt that
under the urgent spur of occasion his
friend could rise to any emergency,
while q sustained activity made de-
mGnds which he could not satisfy;
then his efforts were discounted by
his insane desire to realize at once on
his opportunities: In his haste he was
for aver plucking unripe fruit; and
though he might keep one eye on the
main chance the other was fixed just
as resoluteiy on the nearest tavern.
With the great stake which fate
had suddenly introduced into their los
Ing game. he wished earnestly to be-
lieye that the judge would stay quiet
ly in his office and complete the task
he had set himself; that with this eff
his hands the promise OF excitement
at Belle Plain would compel his pres
ence there, when he would pass some
what under the restraining influence
which he was determined to exert;
in short, to Solomon, life embraced
Just the one vital consideration,
which was to maintain the judge in a
state OF sobriety until after his meet
ing with Fentress.

These squares are sewn in between

round the edge with a broad founce.

dropped.
He landed gquareiy on the rolled-up
bed with a jar that shook him to his
center. Almost gaily he snatched up
a quilt, draping it about him after the
manner OF a Roman toga, and thus
lightly habited, started across Mr..
Pegloe's truck-pateh, his one thought
Boggs' and the sun. 1t would have
served no purpose to have gone home,
the shirt IN his back, vas in the tav-
e~rn-keeper's possession, besides he
had not a moment to lose, for the sun
vas peeping at him owe the horizon.
Unohserved he gained the edge OF
the town and the highroad that led
past Boggs' and stole a fearful glance
over his shoulder. The sun was clear
of the treetops, he could even feel the
lifeless dust grow warm beneath his
feet; and wrapping the guilt closer
about him he broke into a labored run.
Some twenty minutes later Boggs'
came in sight. He experienced a mo-
msnt of doubt-doubtless Fentress
had been there and gone! 1t was 9
hideous thought and the judge
groaned. Then at the other end of the
meadow near the woods he disttn-
guished several men, Fentress and his
friends beyond question. The judge
laughed aloud. In spite of everything
he was keeping his engagement, he
was plueking his triumph out of the
very dregs of failure. The Judge
threw himself over the fence, a cor
ner of the guilt caught On III OF the
rails; he turned to release 1t, and In
that instant two pistol shots rang out
sharply In the morning air.

tying Department.

Newark, N. j., July 80.-Mrs. James
Salmon, Jr., while playing with her
children in the library Of her home
in Belleyille, N. j., smelled smoke COM
ing from n Of the upper rooms. She
ran upstairs to locate the trouble and
discovered a blaze In a bundle OF
clothing in the attic.
She became excited and ran out OF
the house to the corner, where she
sent IN an alarm from a irebo1. Then
suddenly remembering that she had
left her children in the burning dwell
ing she was overcome by fright and
dropped unconscious on the street be-
side the fire alarm box.
John Mccoy, a member Of Eastwood
hose company, who was answering
the alarm, saw Mrs. Salmon and pick
ing her up In his arms carried her to
his home on DOVE street and sum-
moned a physician. She was soon re-
vived and taken to her home, where
she found the children romping
through the parlor with a big fireman
In uniform, who had been placed In
charge Of the children by the fire
chief.
The fire was confined to the attic
and was extinguished before much
damage was done. The children were
80 well pleased with the antics Of the
big fireman that they cried when he
went awav.
