words-the words she had craved for
SO many months and yet dreaded.

Graydon mechanically. Jane spoke for

At that instant the party of six bur-
riedly arose TO leave the place. The
tall man with the gray hair-the hand
soonest man Of all-was staring boldly
at James averted face, now red with
consciousness. AS he passed her In
going out Of the room his look grew
more insistent. She glanced up, and a
faint smile crossed his face.

summons from the old
~ man. He hurried over
~ to Droom's quarters the
next morning after ascertaining that
the steamer would not reach the dock
until 2 or o'clock. broom was at
work on one of his amazing models.

end Of the workbench. She'll not get
in before the middle of the afternoon.

"Just as she likes" said broom pet
tishly. you mean that she would not
like to be seen there with me unless
there is to be something In 1t for her,
eh?"
Nonsense! You've got something on
your mind. Elias. What is it? Why
do you insist on going tonight?"
II don't It's tonight or not at all,
however. I'm not in the habit of let

sherry's. If she doesn't want to come,
let her say So" That was all Graydon
could get out of him, so he left In a
more perplexed frame of mind than be-
fore.
He was at the dock long before the
steamer came to a stop after its eight
days Of ceaseless throbbing She was
waving to him from the rail, her face
beaming With happiness. 1t was Just
as he had seen 1t in his dreams Of this

love against her principle. More than
ever was he determined to overcome
the obstacles which she had thrown up
In her self arraignment
There was cold, biting wind blow

with rosy cheeks, colored by the frost
laden hours on deck. After the tedious,
disagreeable hour with the customs Of

hotel. Graydon Bansemer, sitting oppo-

degrees as he gathered encouragement
from the clear. inviting eyes of the girl

glowing eyes could not be mistaken for
loyal indifference
She was more beautiful than ever to
his hungry, patient eyes. She was more
desirable. more priceless. David Cable
and his wife had been immensely bene-
flied In every way by their months
abroad. Jane had found the sunshine
for them, and 1t had been her purpose
In all these months to keep them free
from the shadows. They had travelled
Europe over. and they had lived In the
full warmth of pleasure.
Cable took Graydon aside as they en-
tered the hotel. The latter had im

Normal Finishes Fifth.

Through ruling made by Pres ident o. D. Longstreth of the State Athletic association, who Is a member of the State Normal facul- tp, the Normal finished fifth in the intercollegiate baseball standing, instead of fourth. Pres. Long streth held that no game played after May 3I would count in the standing and the games the Nor maj won from Hendrix on Tuesday and "Wednesday are therefore thrown out of the official percent age. If these games were counted the Normal's percentage would be 500, against 400 for Hendrix, but the official standing is Hendrix .445 and Normal .427. The Normal, after getting bad start, made a wonderful record by winning six straight games. If this team had played in the same form in the earlier part of the season it would have easily carried off the remnant.

BOARD TALKS
 WAIERWORKS

If the plans of the Board oi Trade are carried out, within few days tests will be made of the water-sup- ply in the range of hills just north of Conway with view to the in- stallation of system of water works in this city. Through it's president, Jo Frauenthal, the board has already secured an op- ton on So acres of land belonging to Elias Kuykendall and situated near the north end of the railway tunnel. A we'll with an unusual ly large flow of water is located on this ground, having furnished all water used in the tunnel work several years ago without ever showing signs of failure. A test will be made of this we'll and if it is promising other wells will be sunk in the vicinity in the hope of securing an adequate supply.
 The pure water from wells in this section would be the best that could possibly be obtained, and a reservoir located on the hill through which the tunnel passes would furnish ample pressure for the water.

 Expected.

Little Rock, June 7.-At an early hour yesterday morning, Adolpf Topf, the young Argenta man who was shot Saturday eve- ming by Geo. Carr, an officer on the police force, died at the St. Vincent Inhrmary, of his wounds. A coroner's inquest was held over the remains yesterday afternoon and a verdict rendered stating that Topt came to his death fro mguu- shot wounds inflicted by revol- yer in the hands of Carr.
 Carr is now in the county jail and will have a preliminary hear ing today or tomorrow in Argenta justice court. He will in all prob- ability be held for murder in the first degree.
 Eye-w;tnesses to the killing place the blame upon Carr, though the officer claims self defense. The witnesses, of whom there were a number, the men quarreling on vacant lot near a number of business houses on East Washing ton avenue, Argenta, state that Carr and Topf were quarreling about the tax upon dog owned by Topf and Topf took Carr's club from him, afterwards handing it back and turning to go away. As he turned, Carr is alleged to have caught hold of Topfs arm, whirled him around and shot him fonr times in the breast. Carr surrendered.

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT MAKES
BIG CUT.
Appropriation Estimates For 1911
Reduced by $500, 900.

Washington. D. c. (SpeciaD -
The estimates of appropriations for
the Interior Department for the fis-
cal year 1911, as approved by Secre-
tary Ballinger, show a net decrease
of $S,500,000. as compared with the
1910 appropriations.
The reduction is made up largely
in the estimates for army and navy
pensions; the Indian service and the
General Land Office. The appropria-
lions for the department for 1910.
are approximately $1S4, 0O0,O 900,
while the estimates for 1911 are ap-
proximately SITS, 100000. The to-
tai increases recommended amount
to $469,000, and the total decreases
100000. The reduction in the
estimates is in pursuance of Presi-
dent Taft's desire for economy in
governmental expenditures, and it is
not believed that the efficiency of
the Interior Department will be in
anywise impaired.
