Dick Is sheer grit, and In . making a teat race meets with an accl ; dent Lestrange sticks to him bravelv, and Dick guessing that his friend lovea Emily disclaims any Intention of marry ing her. and Because they liked- hfm anyhow lt'i Just a nickname." Emily laughed out Involuntarily, sur prised. - "1 beg pardon," she at once apolo glied, "but it sounded so frivolous." "If you try this man, you had bet " ter keep that nickname out of the fac-J ' tory," Mr. Ffreneh advised stiffly. "What respect could the workmenfeel i for a manager with such' a title? II ' possible, you would do well to pre- - vent them from recognizing elm as the racing driver." Bailey, who had risen at the chime of a clock, halted amazed, i T - "Respect for him!" he echoed. "Not recognise him! Why, there isn't man 00 the place who wouldn't give ' hie ears to be seen on the same side i of the street with Lestrange, let alone to work under blm. They do read the racing' news. That part of it v; ill lie all right, if I can have him." "If it is necesary " "1 think it is, sir." Emily moved slightly, pushing back her yellow-brown curls under the rib . eon that banded them. On a sudden Impulse her uncle looked up at her. "What is your opinion?" he ques tioned. "If Dick had been listening I thould have asked his, and I fancy . ' vonra la fully as valuable. Come, shall we nave xnia racing manage . Astonished, she looked from her uocie to the other man. Ah' pt ' haps it was the real anxiety and sus pense of Bailey's expression that drew her quick reply. "Let us, uncle. Since we need him, let us have him." "Very well." said Mr. Ffreneh. "You hear, Bailey." There was a long silence after the Junior partner's withdrawal. "Come where I can see you, Em ily," her uncle finally demanded. "1 liked your decided answer a few mo ments ago; you can reason. How long have you been a daughter in my bouse?" "Six years," she responded, obedi ently moving to a low chair opposite. "I was fifteen when you took me from the convent to make me very, very happy, dear." ' "I sent for you when I sent for Dick, and for the same reason. I have tried three times to rear one of my name to fitness to bear it, and each one has failed except you. I wish you were a man, Emily; there is work for a Ffreneh to do." ... "When you say that, I wish I were. But I'm not, I'm not" She flung out her slender, round arms in a gesture of helpless resignation. "I'm not even . a strong-minded woman who might do ,., Instead. Uncle Ethan, may I ask it vtw Mr." Bailey who made me think my cousin whom I never saw, will he Sever come home?" JL He voice faltered on the last words, ' frightened at her own daring. But her ancle answered evenly, if coldly: - . "Never." "He offended you so?" "His whole life was an offense. School, college, at home, in each be went wrong. , At twenty-one he left ' me and married a woman from the "vaudeville stage. It is not of him V " you are to think, Emily, but of a sub . stltute for him. For that I designed J Dick; once I hoped you would marry ; him and sober his idleness." "Please, no," she refused gently. "1 ' em fond of Dick, but please, no." - ' "I am not asking it of you. He is , well enough, "a good boy, not over ' wise, but not what is needed here. Failed, again; I am not fortunate There is left only you." . "Mar : Her startled dark eyes and his de termined gray ones met, and so re mained. V ' " j "You, and your husband. Are you : going to marry a man who can take my place in this business, in the fac tory and the model village my brother ' and built around it; e man whose name will be fit to Join with ours and - so in a fashion preserve It here? Will you wait until such a one is found end will you aid me to find him? Or '. wUI ypu too follow selfish, idle fan-' des of your own?" , " "No!" she answered, quite pale. "1 would not do thatl I will try to help." "You will take up the work the men of your name refuse, you will provide s, substitute for them?" . . Her earnestness sprang to meet bit f strength of will, she leaned nearer in ' Jer enthusiasm of self-abnegation, scarcely understood, "I will find a substitute or accept yours.

Ffreneh, and turned his face one more to the lire. 7 j CHAPTBR III. It was October when the consulta tion was held in the library -of the old Ffreneh house on She Hudson; December was very near on the sunny morning that Emily drove out to tb factory and sought Bailey In hie of fice. . -".v " - "I wanted to talk with you," she ex plained, as that fentleman rose to receive her. "We have known each ether for a long time, Mr. Bailey; ever since I came from the Sacred Heart to live with Uncle Ethan. That Is a very long time." "It's a matter of live or six year," agreed the charmed Bailey, contem plating her with affectionate pride in her prettlness and grace. "'You nsed t0 drlve out ner, fmt pony and spend many an hour looking on and nBklng questions. Youll excuse me, Miss Emily, but there was many a man passed the whisper that you'd have made a fine master of the works." She shook her head, folding her small gloved hands upon the edge of the desk at the opposite sides of which they were seated. "At least I would have tried. I am quite sure I would have tried. But I am only a girl. I came to ask you something regarding that," she lifted her candid eyes to his, her soft color rising. "Po you know have you ever met any men who cared and under stood about such factories as this? Men who could take charge ef a busi ness, the manufacturing and racing and selling, like my uncles? I have a reason for asking." "Sure thing," said Bailey, unexpect edly prompt. "I've met one man who knows how to handle thla factory bet terthan.Jl.dOj.and. I've, been at it twelve years. Ana there be is he turned in his revolving chair- and oiled up the shade covering the glass let door into the next room, "my manager, Lest range." The scene thus suddenly opened to the startled Emily was sufficiently matter-of-fact not lacking in a certain softer animation of Its uin: Around a drafting table central In the bare, systematic disorder of the apart ment beyond, three or four blue-shirt-ed men were grouped, bending over a set of drawings, which Lestrange was explaining. Explaining with a vivid Interest In his task that sparkled over his clear face In a changing play of expression almost mesmeric in its command of attention. The men watched and listened intently; they themselves no common laborers, but the intelligent workmen who were to carry out the ideas here set forth. Wherever Lestrange had been, be was coatless and the sleeves of his eutlng shirt were rolled back, leaving bare the arms whose smooth symmetry re vealed little of the racing driver's strength; his thick brown hair was rumpled into boyish waves and across his forehead a fine black streak wrote of recent personal encounter with things practical. "Oh!" exclaimed gmlly faintly. And after a moment, "Close the curtain, please." , . None of the group In the next room had noticed the movement of the shade, absorbed In one another; any sound being muffled by the throb of adjacent machinery. Bailey obeyed the request, and leaned hack in hla chair. ' , - "That's Darling Lestrange," he stated with satisfaction. "That's his own design for an oiling system he's busy with, and it's a beauty. He's entered for every big race coming this season, starting next week in Geor gia, and meantime he oversees every department in every building as it never was done before. The man for me, he Is." Emily made an unenthusiastlc sign of agreement. "I meant a very different man from Mr. Lestrange,". ahe replied, her dig nity altogether Ffreneh. "I have no doubt that he is all you say, but I was thinking of another class. ; I meant well, I meant a gentleman.' . "Oh, you meant a gentleman," re plied Bailey, surveying her oddly. "I didn't know, you see. No; I don't know any one like that" Thank you. Then I will go. I It does not matter." She did not go, however, hut re mained leaning on the arm of het chair 1A troubled reverie, her long lashes lowered. Bailey sat as quietly, watching her and waiting. The murmur of voices came dully through the closed door, one, lighter and clearer In tone, most frequently rising above the roar pervading the whole building. It was not possible that Emily's glimpse of Lestrange across the glass ehould identify him absolutely with the man she bad seen once in the flickering lights and shad ows on the Long Island road; but hi was not of a type easily forgotten, and she had been awakened to doubting recognition. .

WEEKLY COTTON J REVIEW Floods In South Cause For Higher Prices. Big Interests Buyers. New York, April 6. -Cotton closed active at a sharp advance, owiug to dis astrous floods in the Mississippi river, fears of further high water in thitiiver and small r rivers of the South where by crop work mf b retarded. There was heavy buying orrThurtdiy by Wall Street, Waldorf-Astoriaand Memph'B interest, for both aides the account. Ea lier in the week speculation was dul and prices had no decided drift either way. Th"ugh many things in the situa tion are regarded as favorable to the bulls, some factorj have not insured to their advantage. For instaicp, the English coal strike settlement for days has hung fire. Then tha weather of late has improved. And certain large interests have ei h r been liquidating or have opposed ar) advance in the be lief that as there ia still considerable cotton to be maiketed a rise at this tsge of the season wtu:d probable nut be permanent. At the tame time these interests are believed tJ be bullish for what is popularly termed the long pull. Liverpool's market has not been verv loouraeine as la rule, Its spot sales have been smill. That market is sup posed to be rather heavily l ing. Thege are those, too, who think that the Eng- ish spinners demand for the time be ing has been pretty well satisfied Lan cashire no doubt, ia doing a good busi ness on old criers, but apparently new busines is rather quiet lexas crop and weather news las lean in themai favorable. With milder temper a'ureo and less rain, field work has pretty much everywhere been pushed with vigor to make up for lest time. Many are Lullish on the idea that the unp eceoentea nooas in me ooum win further de'ay crop work, and that the weight of the crop is off the market. Dry gcods trade is expinding rap dly at advancing prices. The next crop is likely to have a la'e start. That will end to aggravate the vKismtude? hrough which every crop must pass. Some large bulls whi have been selling out May and Jury accredited with buy ing Ocoter and December. Powerful interests are still arrayed on the bull side and are n.erely biding their time. Stocks at counted and uncounted towns are rapidly dwindling. It is believed that interior stocks are not much, ll any, larger than they were a year ago. It is aUo bel eved that if there ah uld ba a serious decrease in the coming crop, nothing could prevent a very marked advance in prices. A commsr- ial newspaper rays that the coming acreage is likely to be decreased 20 per cent making it 28,343 000 acres. The government nude it last year 35,000 000 and the Chronicle 37,581,000.

Norfolk, April 8th.-Tbe Norfolk - Sou tht rn Railroad Ompany has pur j chased through Z E, Keister and Com pany, their agents, about seventy five acres of valuable land beyond South Norfolk for the purpose of loca'ing its general shops here for the ent:re road The property begins at the Virginian Railway and extends in a southerly di r-ctii.n along the Norfolk Southern Rail road through West Munden, to a point bout a quarter of a mile this side of Providance Church. The amount in volved in the purchase of this property ia about $40,000. It ii rumored upon good authority that the company will spend about a df million dollars in this vicinity in the near future, about $300,000 of this sum being spant on the shops and yards upon the property above mentioned and the remaine Jer in thoroughly equipping ts water front property in Berkley ward. It is h;ghly probable that the C 1m ny will begin to build its new sh ps within the next sixty days. It was the intention of the Norfolk- Southern to locate these shops at Ra leigh, inasmuch as that city is rearer the center of the system, but through he activity and influence of Messrs. Z Keister and Com puny, one of Berk ley 's leading real estate dealers to wh m rtat crtdit ia due, these p'ans were hanged and it was decided that if crirugh desirable property could be sec ured, the company would locate here intend. Messrs. Keister and C-mpiny have been busily at work on this pre. option for the past six months. The improvements made necessary by the fh ps will grea'ly enhance the value of real estate in that vicinity and in vestors have already begun to take ad vantage of their opportunities in buy ng property, it bt ing far em ugh cu of the city to be bought up in acreage which will yield big returns to investors by cutting the same up into building lots. Deeds for some of the above men ioned property are constant Iv going to record daily in the name of Z E. K is te', holmng agent, and in a frw cases condemns ion proc.edings may be necessary in order to obti n the am mnt of property needed by the company as some of the ho'dws are asking ex orbitant prices or refusing to sell.
