They had nearly reached the con-
fines OF the park, and Harry Herne
was praying that he might get them
home without any one seeing him,
when his quick eye, quick still,
though it burned like fire, as did the
brain behind it, saw the figure Of a
man crouching in the underground
and staring at the house. He was
too intent upon his espionage that he
did not hear the approaching car
riage untII the ponies were close
upon him, then he sprang to his
feet-which was a foolish thing to
do!-and ran off.
Harry Herne did not call TO him,
nor set off in pursuit. He simply rose
I'm the phaeton and took mental
photograph Of the man. If he ever
met him, say twenty years hence,
and in a crowd of a thousand, the
hawk-like eye of Harry Herne would
recognize him.

CHAPTER VII.

The immediate result of the ad-
venture and accident in the park, so
far as Lucille was concerned, was, of
course, violent headache!
She went straight to her room, and
sent down word by Susie to Mrs. Dali
ton that they were not to expect her
at luncheon. Then she threw her
self into a chair, and tried to sleep
and rest, but it was impossible;
every incident Of the morning rose
wildly before her-Harry Herne's
voice seemed to ring in her ears, and
she went over every little act OF de-
votion which he had performed
with what thoughtfulness he had sen
for her sunshade to shield her; how
patiently he had borne with her
GOODNESS and hauteur; how gently,
and again, how patiently, he had
tried to teach her to drive-and last,
but, ali! by no means least, how
nobly he had borne the insult and
outrage inflicted upon him by the
marquis!
She then went to the garden.
lucille walked round the stands in
a reverie of admiration and delight
for some time, then a thought struck
her. A gardner had left his prun-
ing knife on one of the seats, and she
set to work and cut a large bouquet
Of magnificent blossoms.
Then, when she had encircled the
masses of azalea and geraniums and
roses in a ring of feathern maiden
hair, she stopped a footman and told
him to send her maid to her with her
hat and jacket.
In a few minutes Susie appeared,
and Lucille said:
Il am going for a stroll, Susie, and
want you to go with me. l have
lost my way she said. Where
is the cottage!"
It's the next turning, Miss. Oh,
Miss, I know what your are going to
dO-you are going TO take flowers to
Mas: er Harry! oh, how pleased he
will be! And how good of you, Miss"
Yes: I am going to take them to
most severely; land l am not good
at ALL am only just. Harry Herne
did me a great service this morning,
and l did not even thank him
Yes, Miss" said Susie, with meek
delight; Il understand! All, if all the
gentlefolk were like you! Not that
Master Harry wants any thanks,
Miss, for serving you. Why, there
isn't a man about the place who
wouldn't jump into the river if you
wished it,"
ESPECIALLY if he could swim!
Don't be silly, Susie"
Yes, Miss, said Susie, and she
went up to the door to knock. A
minute afterwards she came after
Lucille.
Hes not there, Miss" she painted.
1T does not NATTER said Lu-
ellie. Stay, go and put the flowers
on the table,
Susie disappeared inside the cot
tage, but reappeared at the door the
next minute, her eyes the shape of
saucers, and her lips wide open.
"Oh, Miss, You never saw!" she
exclaimed, in a hushed whisper
Such a lovely little room! Do come
and look"
Susie threw open the door.
There, Miss! Isn't it pretty?'
The walls were papered in sea
green, the furniture was of oak and
carved.
Mas er Harry carved it all, Miss!
I've seen him doing something with
knife and bits Of wood Of an even
ing!" whispered Susie.
To be continued.

said, | am always candid when il
suits my purpose. And now l don't
think you ought to stay any longer
on the grass"
He held out his hand and helped
her to rise, and still held it as he re-
garded her with a smile, murmurlng:
All, yes, if I were not so poor"
Then he bent and touched her hand
with his lips, and left her.

KERWIN MIXED IT"
 ON THE FLOOR
Took Prominent Part in Debate When the Patterson Bill Was Up For Discussion and Passed.

Judge E. J. Kerwin, of this county took an important part in the dis. cussion which resulted when the Pat terson Bill was placed on it's final vote in the House Friday and passed The Gazette says:
 Mr. Kerwin declared that tn. Dun- away-Leigh bill was practically dead He stated that the bill introduced in the Senate that morning was verba- tim copy of the Dunaway-Leigh bill with the exception that it named four new commissioners from localities Of members who had been for the Pat terson bill, in an attempt, he said, to influence those members to swing to the new measure and support 1t be- cause of the fact it named their home friends. He denounced such tactics as dilatory. He referred to the elec- ton of Governor Donaghey and to Bob" McFarlane, the scapegoat. run- hing as defender of Caldwell & Drake, and the commissioners, who was run out of the race"
 'Isnt is a fact that McFarlane challenged Donaghey to meet him on the stump and he never did?" asked Mr. Thompson of Independence.
 Well, some men have sense enough to choose their own company and maybe George Donaghey thought he would be better off away from that company" replied Mr. Kerwin. The reply caused laughter.
 You say Kirby and ,Hinemon are two of the brightest men in the state" stated MT. Thompson. Now l want to ask if it isn't fact that Donaghey wouldn't meet either of them after they had also challenged nlnn, in reply to your defense of Don aghey that he did not want to get in the company of Bob McFarlane?"
 At this point Mir. DuLaney asked II MT. Kerwin would yield for a mo- ton to take a recess. MT. Kerwin yielded and the motion carried, the house taking a recess until ? o'clock.
 MT. Kerwin took the floor inme- diately after the house convened in the afternoon and continued his speech against the motion to postpone consideration of the bill. He reiter- ated his statements that Governor Donaghey had been. elected on the platform of cleaning out the state capitol and urged that the governor oe allowed to do the bidding of the people. MT. Rouic asked MT. Kerswin 1T he would yield the floor for call aor the previous question. MT. Hurst rose to point of order and contend eo that speaker could not yield the noor for such a motion and expect 10 nave his place back on the floor again Tn case the motion failed. Folnts of order were being discussed when MT. Kerwin stated that he was through and the motion was put. The ayes and "noes" were called and tue motion carried. 30 tO R.

Over Plan For a Free Bridge.
 Lake Village, April 10.-At a mass meeting of the citizens of this com munity, held at the courthouse and splendidly attended, matters of great importance were discussed and meas ures of immense progress adopted.
 It was determined to enlarge the special school district by the pass ing of bill in the Legislature increas- ing the taxable territory, thus enabl- ing the district to add three additional departments to the present magni- ficent school building and employ ad- ditional teachers, When this district was created in 1905 and the present building constructed 1t was thought all demands for at least ten years had been supplied. The school popu- lation has increased 80 rapidly that the board of directors now Ind the facilities insufficient to accommodate the demands.
 Another matter that will decide the future development of Lake Village was thoroughly discussed and reso- lutions adopted for the construction of free bridge across Lake Chicot. The proposed bridge will be about 3,250 feet long and will enable the tenants of 10000 acres of the finest delta soil to patronize local mer- chants and commission houses, giv- ing them splendid railroad facilities and affording excellent church and school advantages. The idea domin- ating the meeting seemed to be the organization of tax ng district which would be empowered to re- ceive donations from tl county, town and public and to complement this fund by . district bridge tax.

The cable ship Burnside is now on her way north to make the an- nuaf tour of inspection of the diff ferent cable stations in Alaska. During the trip she will make need ed changes at Sitka, and will come from there to Wrangell. The in tention at the present time is to bury the cable in the shallow parts of Dry Straits, as its present ex- posed condition will materially shorten he naturil life o' the Ca ble. Much of tFa way the big rope is laid over rocks which are ehaf- ing the insulation. There is little probability that any cable eXten- sions will be made this season.
