The cost OF the parkway was S4300O00. 1t
was thought at the time Of the appropriations
that the plots along the street would mme-
diately be purchased for the erection Of eX-

of proper transit facilities, the land along the

CHAPTER v

IHaC same evening the grand duke S
valet knocked on the door leading into
the princess apartments, and when
the door opened he gravely announced
that his serene highness desired to
speak to the Princess Hildegarde. 1t
was a command. For some reason,
known best to herself, the princess
chose to obey It.
Say that | shall be there present
iy," she said, dismissing the valet.
AS she entered her uncle's study
SO called because of It's dust-laden
bookshelves, though the duke some
| times disturbed their contents to
steady the leg of an unbalanced chair
or table-he laid down his pipe and
dismissed his small company of card
players.
Il did not expect to see you so soon"
he began. "A woman's curiosity some
times has its value. 1t takes little to
arouse it, but a great deal TO allay it."
You have not summoned me to
make smart speeches, simply because
/ have been educated up to them?"-
~truculently.
mo. / have not summoned you to
talk smart, a word much in evidence in
Barscheit since your return from Eng
land. For once l am going to use a
woman's prerogative. | have changed
my mind"
The Princess Hildegarde trembled
with delight. She could put but n
meaning to his words.
The marriage will not take place
next month"
"Unclei"-rapturously.
Wal a moment" 5grimly. 1T shall
take place neKt week"
Il warn you not to force me to the
altar" cried the girl, trembling this
time with a cold fury.
MY child, you are too young in
spirit and too old In mind to be al
lowed a gateless pasture. In harness
you will do very we'll" He took up his
pipe and primed it. 1t was rather en-
~barrassing to look the girl in the eye.
You shall wed Doppelkinn next
week"
You will find it rather embarrass,
ing to drag me to the altar,"-evenly.
You will not" he replied, create a
scandal of such magnitude. You are
untamable, but you are proud"
The girl remained silent. In her
heart she knew that he had spoken
truly. She could never make a scene
in the cathedral. But she was deter
mined never to enter 1t. She won
dered if she should produce the bogus
certificate. She decided to wait and
see il there were no other loophole of
escape. Old Rotnasig? Not II she
died.
When these two talked without APP
parent heat it was with unalterable
%fixedness of purpose. They were of a
common race. The duke was deter
mined that she should wed Doppel-
kim; she was equally determined
that she should not. The gentleman
with the ~algebraic bump may figure
this out to suit himself.

Famous Tennesseean will Lecture Here
 Latter Part of March.

Senator Robert L. Taylor of Tennessee, known throughout the country as Bob" Taylor, will lecture in this city under the aus pices of the Hendrix College lec- ture committee in the latter part of next month.

 The exact date of the lecture will be announced later.

BURNED TO DEATH ALONE

Found Dead in Yard at Her Home Near Ballard School House, Having Sue
 cumbed to Flames.

Ballard School House, Feb. S. Special correspondence-In sight of her daughters house, Mrs. Ann Bankston was burned to death yes terday. She was alone during the day and about one o'clock p. m. her daughter, Mrs. Lee, seeing smoke in the yard and fearing something of the kind, hastened to her mothers house and found her lying on the ground in front of her door, dead, having burned to death all alone.
 Her daughter hurried to the tel ephone and called Dr. J. w. Yam cy. who arrived in few minutes, but too late to be of any service. The doctor said that she must have caught fire and gone to the door and fallen out on the ground.
 The people here were very sor- ry to hear of her sad death. She has brother at Russellville and relatives at Holland. She was about 60 years old and very feeble. She was buried at Cypress Valley today.

ANOTHER BIG GIFT TO HENDRIX
Dr. James Thomas Secures
 $25,ooo Additional
For Endowment of Hendrix College-Total Productive Endowment Now ESti-
 mated at Over S14o,ooo.

Dr. James Thomas, educational commissioner of HendIix and Gal loway colleges, has secured another S25,ooo gift to be added to the en- dowment fund of Hendrix College, making a total of SII7,ooo raised by him for that institution since he has entered upon his present duties.
 Dr. Thomas was in Conway last week. It was intended that the last gift should not be announced at present, but the news became known and President Stonewall Anderson yesterday authorized the publication of the matter. The name of the donor is withheld at his own request.
 President Anderson estimates the total productive endowment of Hendrix College at something over SI4o,o 900. Some of this endow- ment is in the form of real estate, and for this reason accurate figures cannot be given.
 The news of the latest gift will be very gratifying to the friends of the college who are watching with great interest the work of putting the institution upon substantial financial basis. Hendrix is taking on renewed vigor. There is at the present time the largest number o1 students in attendance in the his. tory of the college, and it is be- lieved that next years session will show a still greater increase.

TO BUILD AT PLUMERV|LLE
Faulkner County Farmers Un-
 ion Will Erect Warehouse
At That Point and Cotton is Expected to be Diverted From Conway and Stored
 at Plumerville.

The executive committee of the Faulkner County Warehouse Go. met last Saturday and awarded to a Texas building association a con- tract for the erection of a cotton warehouse at Plumerville. This warehouse company is composed of members of the Farmers Ed ucational and Cooperative Union. It will be the purpose of the com pany, it is stated, to request the members of the union to store and market their cotton at Plumerville instead of Conway.
 Officials of the warehouse com pany assign as a reason forthis action the fact that they received no encouragement in this city, while Plumerville rendered a lot on which to build and SIooo in cash as a bonus. It is not known what will be the outcome of this action, but if the plans of the com pany are carried out, it will result in the diversion of large part of the cotton crop of this county from Conway to Plumerville.
 The members of the warehouse executive committee are as follows: Joseph Leinhart and R. B. McCul- loch, president and secretary re- spectively; Ben l.. Griffin, G. w.. German and D. Matchett It is stated that the committee decided to place the warehouse at Plumer- vile by vote of three to two.

Committee Rescinds Action.

LATER-Just before The Log Cabin Democrat went to press yes terday afternoon, the executive committee met with several local merchants and rescinded their act ion in building a warehouse at Plumerville. About 40 shares ot stock in the concern were subscrib- ed by local merchants and it is ex- pected that 80 shares will be taken by them. Joseph Leinhart, Ben l.. Griffin and R. B Mccullough were appointed and given full power to purchase a lot for the warehouse, which will be built on a suitable location in this city.
