Father Beret shook his head and

Meantime down ut the fort Hamilton
was demanding the flag. He had seen
Alice take it down and supposed that

turned over to him. Now he wanted
to handle it as the best token Of his
bloodless but important victory.

Hamilton smiled grimly, with
vexed look in his eyes, then turned to
Captain Farnsworth and ordered him
to bring up NJ. Roussillon, who when
he appeared still had his hands tied to-
gether.
"Tell me the name Of the young wo-

While this curt scene was passing
the flag Of Great Britain rose over the
fort to the lusty cheering of the victo-
rious soldiers.
Hamilton treated Helm and Beverley
with extreme courtesy. He was a SOL
dter-gruf, INSCRIPTIONS and cruel to
q degree. but he could not help admir-
ing the daring behavior Of these two
officers who had wrung from him the
best terms Of surrender. He gave them
full liberty, on parole of honor not to
attempt escape or to aid in any way

prisoners.
Nor was it long before Helms genial
and sociable disposition won the Eng
ltshman's respect and confidence to
such an extent that the two became al.

self quickly.
"Stay here, Jean. l am going to the
fort. Don't tell Mamma Roussillon 4
thing. Be good boy"
She was gone before Jean could say
word. She meant to face Hamilton
at once and be sure what danger men
aced M. Roussillon. OF course, the
flag must be given up If that would
save her foster father any pain, and
II his life were In question there could
not be too great haste on her part.
She ran directly to the stockade gate
and breathlessly Informed a sentinel
that she must see Governor Hamilton,
into whose presence she was soon led.
Captain Farnsworth had preceded her
but minute or two, and was present
when she entered the miserable shed
room where the commander was hav-
Ing another talk with NJ. Roussillon.
The meeting was tableau which
would have been comical but for the
pressure of its tragic possibilities.
Hamilton, stern and sententious, stood
frowning upon Nj. Roussillon, who at
upon the ground, his feet and hands
tightly bound, colossal statue Of in
5ured innocence.
Alice, as soon as she saw NJ. Roussu-
lon, uttered a cry of sympathetic en-
dearment and flung herself toward him
with open arms. She could not reach
around his great shoulders. but she
did her best to include the whole bulk.
Papa! Papa Roussillon" she chtr-
ruped between the kisses that she
showered upon his weather beaten
face.
Hamilton and Farnsworth regarded
the scene with curious and surprised
interest. NJ. Roussillon began speak
Ing rapidly, but being a Frenchman
he could not get on well with hh
tongue while his hands were tied. He
could shrug his shoulders; that helped
him some.

FRED UNDERWOOD
 MAKES CONFESSION
Tries to Exonerate Durham Says Dunn Shot Sheriff Admits He
 Himself Should Hang.

Fred Underwood has made a con fession at Clarksville concerning the robbery of the Bank of Clarksville and the murder of Sheriff Powers, in which he attempts to exonerate Durham and James Wallace claiming that he has been in the safe- blowing business all his life and persuaded Durham to en- ter his plots.
 Underwood says that John P. Dunn shot Sheriff Powers i'll the front of the bank while he was blowing the inner safe of the vault, and that Durham and Smiling Joe Clarke, who is in the penitentiary at Little Rock with Wal lace, opened fire on Powers as he came down the stairs from his room, but did not wound him. He says that Durham then ran around to the bank door ahead of Powers and begged Underwood to leave, as there was a fight on, but he refused to go.
 Underwood and Durham were under sentence to be hung today and a further confession was expected be- fore their lives were cut short by the moose.

ADVANTAGE OF
 KNOXVILLE SCHOOL.

The teachers of Arkansas who are thinking of attending summer school this summer can find no place more desirable than the Summer School of the South to be held at Knoxville. Those in charge have provided for a faculty of the most distinguished edu- cators of the country, 93 in number. The location of the school is desirable as Knoxville is one of the healthiest and most picturesquely situated cities in the South. 2,OOO from the South attended this school last summer, and fully as large an attendance is eX- pected this year. On account of the cheap railroad rates, I am sure Ar kansas will be well represented in this school this summer. b tJ1
