Every window in the assembly rooms at
Davyhulms blazed forth light and vel
come.
Noting the general air of fsstivity,
turned instinctively to look for the GUS
tomary red strip OF carpet and the can
vas awning at the entrance gates, and
found them both. Then, perhaps, II the
passsr-by were a philosopher or q woman,
he or she might stay to look on for q few
moments.
Cab after cab rolled up to the rooms,
Ine porter whisked the door open, and
mysterious figures. hooded and cloaked
most tantalizingly, stepped daintily to the
ground, ran nimbly over the red strip.
and disappeared in a twinkling. The por-
ter slammed the door and the cab ratified
forward into the darkness to make way
for the next arrival.
10 Jack Shrewsbury, who presently ar
rived with his 1ances and her mother. this
was the proudest evening Of his life.
In the first place he had only been en-
gagged to Dora Slade for three days, and,
as every one knows, tho first delirium Of
the love fever lasts for at least a week.
After that time the love continues. but
the fever abates somewhat.
This was their first appearance in pub
Tic since the engagement. AS they hurried
across the red strip he felt convinced
Inat the eyes Of the crowd were fixed upon
ner IN empowering admiration. Every
young man who Is worth his salt passes
through this stage, and indeed 1t must be
ADMITTED that some do SO more than once.
AS Jack. having taken off his hat and
oYercoat and stroked his hair three times
once over each ear. and once over his
1~orehead-was waiting for the ladies, a
friend Of his. named Beesley, came toward
MIN. accompanied by a stranger.
Good EVENING"" said Beesley. May I
introduce two particular friends OF mine
to each other? Mr.. Ridgeway-Mr.
Shrewsbury"
9 shook hands, muttering the usual
commonplace.
Beesley beamed upon them both, as one
conscious Of a good action.
Q two chaps ought to be good
r1ends he added, for you're both mad
on books"
After this he hurried away, probably to
seek some saner companionship, and the
two new ac~quaintances fell to comparing
notes on the subject Of their madness.
Fadgeway, who had formerly lived in
Davyhulme. had been stationed in Lon
don at the headquarters Of his frm. for
TWO years. He had now returned to take
up the sub-managershlp at the office
where he had started his business life.
By q strange coincidence the literary
tastes OF the two men were almost the
same. and their friendship throve on this
common basis.
Then Ridgeway's sisters came to claim
MIN, n he made an appointment to call
on his new friend the following evening.
Shortly afterward Dora Siade and her
mother appeared, n Jack hurried to
meet them. with a guilty sense Of having
absolutely forgotten Dora for more tina
ten minutes.

than this none of them will make known any details. So far as known there is no opposition among the stockholders to the proposed consolidation, and it is probable that early in January will see the merger perfected. The enlarged bank will retain the name of the Exchange Ma tional, and will continue in busi- ness at the northwest corner of Second and Main streets. The details are yet to be worked out, and the officers will be elected by the directors of the Greater EX- change National.

PAID BY GAMBLERS
To Defend Cases He Was Instru-
 mental In Instituting.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Dec. 15. In Jefferson circuit court yesterday statements implying serious charges agaiust former Prosecut- ing Attorney Sorrels were made by Judge Grace, who presided. Several gaming cases had been called, the indictments in which had been issued while Sorrells was prosecuting attorney. While the cases were being discussed Judge Grace stated that the ire dicted men had made affidavit
 to the effect that they lad pal
 Sorrels, as prosecuting attorney, to dismiss the cases against them, and, as prosecuting attorney, Judge Grace averred, Sorrells had never reported the money to the county. Sorrells claims that the money was secured as counsel for the men. However, Sorrells has never been allowed to plead their cases, as Judge Grace would never permit him, hecause Sor- rells was instrumental in having the indictments issued.

MRS. LANE ACQUITTED.
Jury Returned Verdict for De fendant in Less Than Half Hour Large Number of
 Witnesses.

Little Rock, Dec. 16. Mrs. Ruth Lane was yesterday ac- quilted by a jury in the first di- vision of Pulaski circuit court of the charge of assault to kill. The jury was out less than half an hour and 1t is said the vote for acquittal was unanimous.
 This Is the last chapter in a case which has been before the public in various forms for two months, and which has taken many unexpected turns.
 The matter was seemingly end- ed when the grand jury, which had been investigating the case, returned an indictment against Mrs. Lane charging her with as- sault to kill. She was released on bond and her trial set for last Monday. Twenty-nine witnesses were examined and the case went to the jury at 3 o'clock yester- day afternoon.
 The testimony informed the public for the first time as to the details of the shooting. Dr. White went to Mrs. Lanes home to remonstrate with her about remarks she was alleged to have made about his wife, and a wordy argument ensued, in the course of which Dr. White was shot in the hip and a bullet from his pistol sang by Mrs. Lane. Ac- cording to Mrs. Lane both had pistols out and she could not swear which fired first, though she was of the opinion that Dr. White did.
 Dr. White claimed his pistol was discharged after he left the room and staggered out on the porch. A fattened bullet which was claimed to have come from Dr. Whites pistol, and which was picked up on the floor of Mrs. Lanes room, was weighed in the court room and found to be too heavy for a 32-caliber bull let, and too light for 38. Dr. Whites pistol carried a 32-caliber bullet and Mrs. Lanes 38-cali- Der.
 The case was argued at length, the speeches beginning at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and concluding at 8 in the afternoon. Mrs. Lane was represented by Judge Frank T. Vaughan of this city and Hon. Gustave Jones of Newport. Prosecuting Attorney J. H. Hamiter and Deputy Lewis Rhoton represented the state.

KILLING IN
 LONOKE COUNTY.

Lonoke, Dec. 15. Last night Ben Campbell armed himself and went several miles into the coun- try to the home of Sam Mcintyre where Campbell's wife had taken refuge. Campbell, it is reported, had made threats and after reach ing his destination attempted to put them into execution. McIn- tyre, who was on the place, was too quick for him when trouble began and brained him with a singletree. The men were brothers-in-law. The circum- stances, as reported, seem to justify Mcintyre.

Scott stole handsome diamond ring,
which was recovered by the Savannah
police. He will go up for a year in the
gang, without fine.
Bob Gamer owned pistol, but 10 a
