Her thoughts rae Neenah'S
airy prophecy.
How could she face the charge, "Tm

Indictment, III you love him as you
do now"
Lady Agnes and Browne passed by
without seeing her and entered the
window. She heard him say some
thing to his companion. softly, tender
ly-she knew not what 1t was. And
Lady Agnes laughed-yes. nervously.
All. but Agnes was playing! She was
not in love with this man. 1t was diff
ferent. 1t was not what Neenah
meant-nor Deppingham, honest friend
that he was.
Down below she heard voices. She
wondered-incOnsisten alert-wheth-

as Saunders and Miss Pelham were
coming in from the terrace. They
were in love with each other! They
could be in love with each other.
There was no law, no convention that

and still love! III you continue to

the doors Of her conscience.
Her maid came in, and she prepared
for bed. Left alone, she perched her
self in the window seat to cool her
heated face with the breezes that
swept on ahead of the storm which
was coming up from the sea. Her
heart was hot; no breeze could cool IT
nothing but the ice Of decision could
drive out the fever that possessed it.
"It is mpossible-incredible she
was saying to herself. Il could not
love him like that. I should hate him.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE TRIAL OF Won BLITZ.

THE TRIAL OF Won BLITZ.
|0HE next morning found the
weather unsettled. There had
been a fierce storm during the
~ night and nasty mist was
blowing up from the sea. Deppingham
kept to his room. although his cold
was dissipated.
Chase had been up nearly all Of the
night, fearful lest the islanders should
seize the opportunity to scale the walls
under cover Of the tempest. Ali
through the night he had been pos
sessed of spirit Of wild bravado, a
glorious exaltation. He was keeping
watch over her, standing between her
and peril, guarding her while She slept.
His thoughts. however, did not con-
template the princess fair in a state Of
wretched insomnia, with himself as
the disturbing element.
He looked for her at breakfast time.
They usually had their rolls and COT
fee together. When she did not ap-
pear he made more than one pretext
to lengthen his own stay in the break
fast room. ''She's trying to forget
yesterday" he reflected.
Selim came, to him in the midst of
his reflections, bearing a thick, rain
soaked envelope.
at was found. eXcellency, inside the
southern gate, and it is meant TO

slashed open the envelope with his
fruit knife. He laughed ruefully as he
read the simple but laborious message
from Jacob Won BlitZ:
"Where are your warships all this
time? They are not coming to you
ever. Goodby. You got to die yet too
Your friend, Jacob Won Blitz. And
my wives too"
Chase stuffed the blurred, sticky let
ter into his pocket and arose to stretch
himself.
There's something coming to you.
Jacob" he said. much to the wonder
of Selim. 'Selim, unless l miss my
guess pretty badly, We'll be having a
message, not from Garcia, but from
Rasula before long. How are my ciga-
rettes holding out:"
"They run low, sahib. Neenah has
given all of hers to me for you. excel
lency, and have demanded those OF
the wives of Won Blitz."
.Selim, you must not forget that you
are a gentleman. That was most I'M
gallant. But suppose you got them?' p
NO, sahib. They refused to give
them up. They are saving them for

George Shoecraft Dead.

George Shoecraft, one of Brinkley's oldest citizens, died May 9, 1909, at 2 a. m., at the Physician and Surgeons Hospital in Little Rock, to which place he was sent several days ago that he might have the best possible nursing and treatment.
 MT. Shoecraft was 83 years old. The cause of death assign led by the hospital authorities was old age. He was beginning to show signs of feebleness be- fore the cyclone and that har- rowing experience no doubt serv- ed as the Hast straw" to break down his vitality.
 Brinkley never had a citizen with a greater desire for her welfare, nor with a greater heart of sympathy for suffering humanity. Eternity only will reveal the large number to whose need he administered, without os- tentation or rrecompense. Anoth- CT beautiful virtue was his love for the children. Numberless are the times he has made the little ones happy by the gift of candy, fruit, etc.
 For many years, Mir. Shoecraft was a loyal member of the Methodist church. He rarely ever failed to be in his place at

the services and always support ed the church in accordance with his means. In his last converse tion with his pastor, he told of a firm faith in the Savior and a bright hope of his final reward.
 The body was laid to rest We'd nesday at 3, p. m., in Oak Lawn Cemetery beside that of his good wife, who preceded him several months ago. Services were con- ducted at the cemetery by Rev. w. P. Talkington. The only relative attending was nephew, Mir. J. J. Shoecraft, of Tarkio, Mo-, his only surviving brother the two were twins being too feeble to attend.

Attempt to Gross English
Channel in Aeroplane.
FELL into Sea when half ACROSS
Rescued BY Torpedo Boat Destroy.

the Machine Saddle Calmly
Smoking 8 Cigarette.

Calais. Herbert Latham, the
French aviator made a daring hut
unsuccessful attempt to cross the
English channel in his monoplanc
Monday. He got away splendidly UNI
der perfect conditions from the top
of the chalk cliff at Sangatto, and
had covered over half the distance
at an average height of 500 feet,
when the motor slowed down and he
was obliged to descend. The air
space of the wings, however, kept the
machine afloat and the monoplane,
lying like a wounded bird, was
stretched out on the water when the
French torpedo boat destroyer Har-
pom, which had kept abreast through
out the journey came alongside, and
picked up the aviator.
Nj. Latham was not wet and still
sat on the saddle, which is located
above the wings and behind the mo-
tor, calmly smoking a cigarette. He
Immediately announced that he was
not discouraged by the failure and
would try again as soon as the ma
chine was repaired. The Injuries to
the monoplane were slight, the prin-
cipal damage being caused when it
was hauled aboard the destroyer.
The motor is intact.
The watchers on both shores had
an anxious hour after the machine
was lost to view behind thin veil Of
fog on the French side and appre-
hension was not allayed until the
semaphore at Calais reported that
the Harpon was returning with NJ.

REPUBLICANS COMMITTED.
To a Downward Revision of The
s Tariff.

Washington.-All doubt as to
where President Taft stands with re-
gard to the tariff was swept away
when a statement was given out at
the White House setting forth in de-
tail what the president had to say
to Iwenty-three Republican members
of congress, who called to protest
against putting raw materials on the
free list. The president in this state
ment declared that the Republican
party is committed to a downward
revision; that he has never had any
other idea of the Chicago platform
and that he personally, has promised
a downward revision to the people.
This statement is interpreted in
some quarters here as a direct noti-
fication to the conferees on the tariff
bill that if the measures they finally
agree on does not constitute a mate
rial reduction in specific duties, the
president will exercise his power of
vote
