tion Of the golden jubilee of the pro
mulgation OF the dogma of the lmmac
ulate Conception OF tie Virgin Mary
will begin al ST. .Ioscph's church. II
VIII be fifty wears next Thursday
since Pope Pins IL made the pfoela-
nation as the supreme judge, pfcsid-
ing over the supreme tribunal Of tn"
Catholic church, that honcetorfh il
would be part oI the defined law TO
believe in the immaculate Conception
of the Virgin Mary. From
what the Graphic learns m
this matter from a We'l-in-
formed Catholic, the church believes
that all mankind arc born in sin, as
all sinned in Adam. but that the Nir-
pin Mary. Oh account of her mother
hood of Christ, the redeemer was eX-
emptod in conception and birth OF any
sin. The protestant idea seems 70 be
that all mankind are immaculate in
conception and birth.

CADY MILL BURNED.
No Estimate of the Loss Can Be Had
Yet

Citizens of Pine Bluff who were
awakened by the alarm of fire about
: o'clock Saturday morning thought
the whole east end Of the city was on
fire by the bright light which showed
in that direction. 1t was Cady's mill
at East Barraque and Missouri streets
which was burning and the dry lum-
Der and sheds made a tremendous
blaze. The mill caught fire about l:5o
o'clock and was quickly consumed
The fire department responded
promptly but could do nothing but
save the surrounding buildings, The
rain and sleet, which began to fall
soon after the blaze started, helped
to put out the fire and keep it from
spreading.
The mill was an old one and mad
inst been refitted. The loss can not
be estimated at this time The ot.s:a
of the fire is unknown.

mere, writing ms NC mat AFTERNOON
I was away in the hills. Much good
that evidence will do Darrell now"
A steel letter opener-either a repli-
ca of the one Darrell had used in the
inner Office when he marked the bull
lets, or else the same-lay on the
clerks desk near the lighted lamp. II
was sharp and might prove of use in
an emergency. Darrell leaned one arm
~ lng de5l close ~ tAe Instrument
AMI GcWed hir head on his lifted hand
III disai ming Himself by yielding UP
the weapon b e believed he had effect
itCiy disarmCd any doubts OF Muir
gatroyd's, present or to cone. He was
eager to know more Of this mans rela-
lions with McCloud.
ON put this revolver in the vault
for now said Murgatroyd, and when
| have seen you safe out of town I'll
put six fresh cartridges in the cylin-
der"
Then, while he worked at the knob
of the combination, he dropped the
weapon into his pocket. In a few mo-
ments he pulled open the vault door,
made as though he would step inside
but halted and whirled around to see
what his companion was doing.
Darrell had not changed his position
and still had his elbow on the desk
and his chin in his hand. A spar
king gem on barrels finger drew Muir
gatroyd's eyes and brought an ex-
clamation to his lips.
The circlet was a coiied serpent with
di md head-a ring Darrell had
worn for years. Murgatroyd had seen
ii often and knew it we'll.
Recognition came with rush. Muir
gatroyd's hand dropped to the pocket
that held the revolver and barrels
leaped to the letter-opener, and there
was an overturning of chairs as the
men hurled themselves at each other.
A lurid oath broke from Murgatroyd
but was strangled under the gripping
white fingers of his adversary. The
revolver was not drawn nor the let
ter-opeper used; from the first shock
of contact necessity threw them back
on their bare hands
Neither spoke. Each felt that this
was to be their final battle and the
sharp, hard breath came from their
lips as they clinched and fought.
Then followed terrible half-minute.
Murgatroyd was like wolf, remember

ing only the injury suffered at the
hands of one whom he had believed to
be his friend. Darrell was calmer, but
none the less determined.
Chairs were tipped over, the desk
and lamp barely escaped, and then, in
frenzy of brute force, they fell
against the mineral cabinet, dropping
to the floor with the cabinet on top
of them.
Darrell was no match for his antag-
onist in such rough work and he was
underneath. A feeling flashed through
him that he had failed, and that the
victory would be Murgatroyd's, but the
block of galena, tipping with the cabi-
net, struck the stronger man on the
back of the head and crashed to the
floor.
Murgatroyd's fingers relaxed; with
a stifed groan he Strengthened out and
| lay like one dead. Excited and breath
less, Darrell drew himself out from I'M
der the cabinet and rose to his feet.
Murgatroyd was at his mercy and
! what should he do with him? AS he
debated the question he heard a quick
tread of feet in the hall below.
Acting on a quick impulse, he flew
to the vault, pulled open the inner
doors, dragged the unconscious Murga-
troyd inside and had closed him in
and turned off the combination when
the marshal burst open the hall door
and flung into the room, followed by
the thick-set man.
Darrell, leaning against the wall,
eyed the newcomers calmly.
