many degrees below the zero mark. 1t
was steadily growing colder. The old

break the record the coming night.

the sitting-room. Thither Mary and

He finds that in the first year he

In the second year this number was
reduced by half. and in the third

DEFEAT MAKES HIM GOVERNOR

Nenophon Orestes Pindall president of the
state senate, became acting governor of Arkansas
when Gov. John S. Little was taken i'll, but when
he went to Washington to attend the convention
for the conservation of natural resources Allen
II. Hamiter speaker of the house of representa-
tives, succeeded him as acting governor. Hamiter
vetoed of the bills to which Pindaii had
given his assent and called special session of
the legislature to pass measures to which Pindall
is opposed. Now Pindall hurried back from Wash
ington to oust his successor and revoke the call
for the special session. The Legislature refused to
heed the call and the promised trouble
averted.
1t a queer turn of luck that enabled
Pinda to attain the summit of his ambition, the
governors chair through defeat. He had that
