Have you any proof of this charger"
 "Procf! What do you mean? Do you doubt my word?"
 T mean exactly what I say. Have you anything to prove the very serious charge you bring?'
 Certainly not. I have no proof If there had been a witness there the thing would not have happened. If I could have called for help it would not have happened. How could have any proof of such an outrage?''
 Well, do you not see that it is inn possible for me to take action on your unsupported word? Do you not see tLat if you take further steps in this extraordinary affair, Miss Longworth will ask you for proof of what you state? If she denies acting as you say she did, and you fail to prove your all legation, it seems to me that you will be in rather bad predicament. You would be liable to suit for islander. Just think the matter over calmly for the rest of the day before you take any further action upon it, and I would strongly advise you to mention this to nobody on board. Then, if tomorrow you are still in the same frame of mind, come to me-"
 Thus dismissed, the young woman left the captains room, and met MT. Fleming just outside, who said:
 Look here, Miss Brewster, want to have word with you. You were very curt with me just now"
 T,Iz r xlz to you.''
 "Oh, that's all right, that's all right: but let me tell you this: You're a pretty smart young woman, and you have done me one or two very evil turns in your life. I have found out all about this affair, and it's one of the funniest things 1 ever heard off,
 ''Very funny, isn't it?' snapped the young woman.
 ''Of course it's very funny; but when it appears in full in the opposition pa pers to the Argus. perhaps you won't see the humor of it, though everybody else in New York will, that's one conso- Ittion.''
 What do you mean?''
 ''I mean to say, Jennie Brewster, that
  unless you are a fool you will drop this thing. Don't for heavens sake let anybody know you were treated by an English girl in the way you W ere. Take my advice, say no more about it"
 And what business is it of yours ?"
 Tt isn't mine at all; that is why am meddling with it. Aren't you well enough acquainted with me to know tEat nothing in the world pleases me so much as to interfere with other peoples business? I have found out all about the girl who kept you in, and a mighty plucky action it was, too. I have seen that girl on the deck, and l like the cut of her jib. I like the way she walks. Her independence suits me. She is girl who wouldn't give man any trouble, now I tell you, if he were

 The newspaper correspondent pom dered on these words.
 And if l keep quiet about it, will you do the same?"
 'CeEtainly: but you must remember that if ever you attempt any of your tricks of interviewing on me again. out comes this whole thing, don't forget that
 II won't, said Miss Jennie Brewster And next morning, when the captain was anxiously awaiting her arrival in his room, she did not appear.

One of the negroes in the game of fered to sell two knives at such 8 cheap figure that he was suspicion ed of having stolen them. He was arrested and taken outside. The negro asked Ed why be didn't arrest another negro in there, as he had more knives. Ed went back and got the other negro, too. The two were taken to police headqual ters.

GRANNY BLALOCK HAS SEEN 112 SUMMERS AND AS MANY
 WINTERS.
She Remembers When There Was But One House Where the "City of Roseso
 Now Is.

Old Granny Blalock, who lives one mile north of England, in Lonoke county, is doubtless the most aged person now living in the State of Arkansas, she being 112 years. old. This old lady lives in small cot tage with widowed daughter and grandson, and is as lively, and can get about as well, as many people who have attained but half her age.
 When a GRAPHIC representative called on Granny Blalock the other morning she was seated in an old rocker-a favorite of her's-by a blazing fire made with sticks and pieces of wood whick she herself had gathered, dreaming over her pipe. When the reporter had taken in the situation, and realized that he had unwittingly stumbled into the midst of reverie that must have been all but sacred to this old mother, he half wished that he had been more considerate, and waited yet little while. But the mischief done, he threw aside sentiment as best he could, made known his business and entered into an interview with the Jldse characteristic of his calling.
 Granny Blalock, as was ascertain ed, is not native of Arkansas, but of Georgia, being "born'd,p as sEe said, "nigh 'Gusty,' but in what year she did not remember. She had the date of that remarkable oc- currence ''sot' down, however. and after quite an extended search among the archives of an old-fashion pine wood bureau, a pair of backs that once encompassed the blank leaves of day-book was produced, from which was drawn a crumpled piece of yellow paper upon which was recorded theintelligence desired. Or cold day in Decem Der, 1785, this
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-03-14

good old lady was ushered into this troublesome world Gt was cold day, for the record says sol.
 Granny Blalock remembers inci- dents, but no dates. She dates all occurrences in her section during her residence in this State by the falling of the stars-before or after. She is the eldest of ten children, four boys and six girls. About the beginning of the present century her father, William Jones, removed from Georgia to this State, settling eight miles east of Little Rock. A that time there were only five white families living in that section of country, and three of these were French. There was only one house where the city of Little Rock now is. Thus the subject of this sketch has seen, as it were, the wilderness made to blossom as the rose. She has seen the red man go at the com ing of the white man; and where once the rays of the setting sun climbed the walls of a single build- ing, she has seea city gradually and steadily grow.
 Granny Blalock has been married twice, but both her husbands died before the war. Mrs. Smith, the daughter with whom she lives, is her youngest and cnly living child, and is sixty-seven years old. Nei sher of these old lad.es wear glasses. They seem to be living contented life, with no cares or worries.
