STRAWBERRY SEASON
 PROBABLY CLOSED.

The strawberry season at Jud- sonia this year has practically closed, says the Advance. The association shipped fifty cars, while last year they loaded out about sixty. The express ship ments were not near as heavy this year as last, either, although the acreage had been increased. The incessant rains not only caused a short crop but made such inferior berries that the prices, of course, were low. The merchants have been doing a good business, considering the short crop.

QUARTER MILLION SUIT
 FACES THE HARTFORD.
Big Insurance Company Contin- ues Business in State, Not
 withstanding Big Suit.

Little Rock, May P. The filing of the $29O, 900 suit against the Hartford Fire Insurance Company in the Pulaski circuit court was not unexpected and yet it was somewhat staggering in it's effect.
 This enormous amount repre- sents the accrued penalties at 5000 a day since March 28, in addition to the two suits brought immediately after the act became effective.
 A rumor became current yes terday that the Hartford was considering a proposition to com promise and quit business in the state, but the general agents of the company say they have no such advices from the home office. All that had been heard was the telegram in response to the one sent notifying the com pany of the adverse opinion in the lower court to the effect that the company is still considering it's future course. In the mean time the company continues to accept all the business offered. The suit is che of the largest ever brought in the state.

 The program was made up of orations from the graduates, in- terspersed with music.
 The graduates, seven in num- Der, six girls and one boy, ham, bled their subjects well, showing careful study and training. The school, under the management of Ed Wheeler, has made great progress during the year, and seems to have given entire satis- faction.
 The class address was made by Dr. Ed Craigen, who was for a number of years principal of this same school. His talk was prac- tical and full of good advice to the class.
 The awarding of diplomas was made by MT. w. R. Thompson, president of the board of educa- tion, which concluded the even- ing's entertainment.

Sleep he could not. He smoked stead

his small stock Of tobacco was fast di
minishing. He ransacked his brains to
discover some method Of escape from
this enchanted island. where fairies
jostled with demons and hours Of utter
happiness found their bane in moments
Of frightful peril.
OF course he ought to have killed
those fellows who escaped. Their sam
pan might have provided n last desper-

a landing. Well, there was no use In
being wise after the event, and, scheme
as he might, he could devise no way to
avoid disaster during the next attack

inches from the ground. using as car

The ultimate result was that a mere

cord exploded the cartridge.

He was manifestly pleased by the
success Of his ingenious continuance
and forthwith completed the Gordon.
To make dOubly sure he set another
snare farther within the trees. He was
certain the Dyaks would not pass

it. BY this time the light was failing.

BY the meager light Of the tiny lamp
they labored sedulously Mt the rope

with sheer WEAKNESS. Neither of them
had slept much during the preceding
night, and they were both completely
tired.
The first streaks Of dawn were tip
ping the opposite crags with roseate
t1nts when the sailor was suddenly
aroused by what he believed to be q
gunshot. He could not be sure. He
was still collecting his scattered senses,
straining eyes and ears intensely, when
there came second report.
Then he knew what had happened.
The sentries on the Smugglers' cove

enemy was upon them.

after dinner the sailor helped her.
They toiled late, until their fingers
were sore and their backbones creaked
as they sat upright.
Meanwhile jerks swarmed up the
pole again and drew up after him a
crowbar, the siedge hammer and the
pickax. With these implements lie set
to work to improve the accommodation.
OF course he did not attempt seriously
to remove any large quantity of rock.

1t was surprising to see what

istence of the fault helped him Il good

point had oXidiZed the stone to rotten

smiled when he saw the businesslike
air with which Iris slung revolver
around her waist.

The feature which so earnestly claim
ed his attention was a deep ledge d..
rectly over the mouth Of the cave, but
some forty feet from the ground. Be-
hind It the wall of rock slOped dark
ly inward, suggesting q recess extend
ing by haphazard computation at least
a couple Of yards. 1t occurred to him
that perhaps the fault in the interior
Of the tunnel had its Outcrop here and
the influences Of rain and sun had ex-
tended the weak point thus exposed In
the bold panoply Of stone.
He surveyed the ledge from different
points Of view. 1t was quite inacces-
sible and most difficult to estimate &C.
curately from the ground level. The
eailor was q man Of action. He chose
the nearest tall tree and began to
climb. He was not eight feet from the
ground before several birds few out
from its leafy recesses, filling the air
with shrill clucking.
The devil take them!" he growled,
for he feared that the commotion
would awaken Iris. He was still la
boriously worming his way through
the inner maze Of branches when a
we'll known voice reached him from
the ground.

Iris strOve to be severe, but there was
a touch Of anxiety in her tone that in
stantly made the sailor apologize. He
told her about the ledge and explained
his half formed notion that here they
might secure safe retreat in case of

A woman makes her toilet with care and
content. But in bad health it often
happens that the qualification OF being
well attired is lost. There is hardly
strength to brush and dress the hair, and
there is small courage to make the effort

them we'll. The common cause of fen-
mime weakness is found i'll diseased
