Chairman McKinley never put the negative. "It is unanimous, said he at 4:36 p. and once more the convention went into one of those scenes of enthusiasm which had become so familiar to the proceedings of the day. A delegate moved to adjourn until 8 o'clock p. m., and although there was a disposition to fiuieh up work at once, the motion prevailed and the convention adjourned until that hour. Immediately after the adjournment the rumor went forth that Whitelaw Reid, the gifted editor of the new York Tribune, had been selected by the dele gates of New York as their candidate for vice president, and that he would re ceive the solid vote of the Empire stite. This report spread with lightning rapid ity, although it was not authoritatively confirmed by the New York delegation und the boom of the ex-diplomat a' once became a formidable movement.

It is hoped that the trust will be ready to meet the decision of the con 'erence. The hope is warranted by a letter written to the Southern Whole ialers association by President Uave aieyer nf the trust in which he said: While we feel disposed to co-operate nth the wholesale trade in the direc- ion of securing for them a fair renum- ration for any plan looking to this end nust originate with them ODa w me re mit ot their mutual agreement as to A-hat is best for their interest." It is regarded as a promisa that if the iomine conference of wholesalers will igree upon a basis for distribution, the Sucar trust will adopt that basis. Much l.fference is to be looked tor, howeve n arranging details: Many members of Ae New York wholesalers absociation iro openly opposed to increasing the tle oxte Trom ODe-eighth of a cent a pound, vrhich they now receive to one-quarter f a cent a pound. A similar conference to that to be aeld tomorrow was held in April. It failed in its object, largely because the attendance was so small. Conimiticd feulcide.

"1 hope not, 1 m sure, interposes Arthur, quite feelingly. "It does seem odd he hasn't come in before this." Then, true to his determination to so arrange matters that, If discovery ensues upon his scheme, lie may still find for himself a path out of his difficulties, he says quietly, "1 met him about a mile from home, and walked here with him.

The widow is looking haggard and holhv-eyed. All her eiainty freshness has gone, and she now looks in years what in reality she is, close on thirty live. Her bps are pale and drooping her cheeks coloreless; her wholo air is suggestive of deep depression, the the result of sleepless nights and days tilled with grief and suspense of the most poignant nature. "Alas, how well she loves him too! thinks Florence, contemplating her in a hurried impassioned tone 'Oh, Florence, what has become of him? What has been done to him? 1 have tried to hide my terrible anxiety for the past two miserable days, but now 1 fei-l I must speak to some one or go mad!"

"J have no suspicion none." she answers eadly. "If I had should 1 wot act upon it, w hatever it might cost me?

"No earthly consideration should keep me from using any knowledge 1 rnieht by accident or otherwise become possessed oftolaybarei this mystery.

"What should I know?-' responds the widow, recoiling, "Vou loved him too," says Florence piteously, now more than ever con vinced that Dora is keeping something bidden from her. "For the sake of mat love, aisciose anything you may know about this awful matter. "ldaro not sjieak openly," replica the widow, growing even a shade paler, "because my suspicion is of the barest character, and may be altogether wrong, l et there are moments when some hidden instinct within my breast whispers to me that I am on the right track." "If so,' murmurs Florence, falling upon her knees before her, "Do not hesitate; follow up this instinctife feeling, and who knows but something may come of itl Dora, do not delay, soon, soon if not already it may be too late. Alas," she cries, bursting into bitter tears, "what do I say? Ia it not too late even now ? What hope can there be after six long days, and no tidings ?

"Irom liim? From whom what murderer ?" exclaims Floreuce, in a voice of horror. "Dora, what are you saying?" "Never mind.
