CHAPTER XII.
The Name of Sullivan.


l had my arm done up temporarily
in Baltimore and took the next train
home. l was pretty far gone when
stumbled out of cab almost into the
scandalized arms of Mrs. Klopton. In
Is minutes / was in bed, with that
good woman piling on blankets and
blistering me in unprotected places
with hot-water bottles. And in an
hour I had had a Whit of chloroform
and DIR. Williams had set the broken
bone
l dropped asleep then, waking in
the late twilight to a realization that
I was at home again, without the pa
pers that meant conviction for Andy
Bronson, with a charge of murder
hanging over my head, and with some
thing more than an impression of the
girl my best friend was in love with,
a girl moreover who was almost as
great an enigma as the crime itself.
"And I'm no hand at guessing rid
dies I groaned half aloud. Mrs,
Klopton came over promptly and put
cold cloth on my forehead.
"Euphemfa," she said to some one
outside the door, telephone the doc
tor that he is still rambling, but that
he has switched from green ribbons
to riddles"
There's nothing the matter with
me, Mrs. Klopton," I rebelled. Il was
only thinking out loud. Confound that
CLOTH it's trucking all over me-"
gave it fling, and heard it land with
a soggy thud on the floor.
Thinking out loud is delirium,' .
Mrs. Klopton said imperturbably. A
fresh cloth, Euphemia."
This time she held it on with a firm
pressure that l was too weak to re-
sist. [ expostulated feebly that l was
drowning, which she also laid to my
mental exaltation, and then l finally
dropped into a damp sleep. 1t was
probably midnight When l reused
again. l had been dre@}Iing of the
wreck, and it was inexpr essibly COM
forting to feel the stability of my bed,
and to realize the equal stability OF
Mrs. Klopton. who sat, fully attired,
by the night light, reading Science
and Health.
"Ooes that book say anything about
opening the windows on hot night?'
l suggested, when l had got my bear
ings.
She put it down Immediately and
came over to me. If there is one
tine when Mrs. Klopton is chastened
aud it is the only one-it is when
she reads Science and Health. Il

Mrs. Klopton succumbed. Because
next door," she said. eff you will take
the beef tea. Mr.. Lawrence, will tell
you"
The queer goings-on, however,
proved to be slightly disappointing It
seemed that after l left on Friday
night, light was seen fitting fitfully
through the empty house next door.
Euphemia had seen it first and called
Mrs. Klopton. Together they had
watched it breathlessly until it disap-
peared on the lower floor.
"You should have been a writer Of
ghost Stories" l said, giving my pill
lows a thump. "And SO it was fit

the doorway. Really, Mrs. Klopton,
I'm amazed at you. You old duffer!
I've got to thank you for the worst
day of my life"
Mrs. Klopton gulped. Then realiz-
ing that the "old duffer" was meant
for me, she took her empty cup and
went out muttering.

door, Then he swung around and held

he called a Bernard Shaw-a founda-

of everything else in sight to give it

PROFIT IN MIXED POULTRY
Most Money Is Made Where Chickens
Are Kept as Adjunct to Other
General Farm Crops.

There Is no doubt but that the great
est profit is made where poultry IL
kept as an adjunct to the other farm
crops. On the general farm the feed
item and the labor item, as well as the
item of land, are of smaller account
than on larger poultry farms. To the
farmer who is willing to give as much
attention to the poultry as he does tc

REPUBLICAN
 FILES COMPLAINT
Say Township Election in Pulaski &, Hass-UU22sfastr. Was U2sfastr. But No Election Was
 Held by Democrats.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 19.-U. S. Bratton, secretary of the State Cen tral Committee of the Republican par ty, has written to Gov G. w. Dona- ghey a most strenuous criticism of the way the Democrats held the elec- tion last week in one township of Pu
 laski county, or rather, did not hold it. One of the judges to whom the ballot box for Eagle township was entrusted, allowed the box to stay on his front porch on the night before the election held in Eagle township. This township is made up about 600 negro and 10 white voters and this is one year the negroes will not boss the township. The Republicans realize that Gov. Donaghey has the appointment of township officers to fill the vacancies resulting from no election being held and they want the old officers, all negroes, reappoint- ed. The Democrats will hardly make any objection to their having the officers, as it is not customary for the negroes to sit in white cases, nor negro officers to arrest white people. This makes the negro government for the negroes, but even that will not erase the unkind things said about the way the election was not held.

Short talks were made by Senators A. c. Martin, H. K. Toney, Wood of Hamburg; McBeen, of Earle; Robertson, of Marianna, and others.

There are opposing Toney, Senators, White, Logan and Holland, and the vote not represented at the gathering last night is divided among them with four of the votes pledged to Senator Ton ey, though the senators were unable to attend the banquet last night.

OLD FIRE WHISTLE
 CAUSED EXCITEMENT

The sensational blowing of the wild cat whistle at the Pine Bluff Corporation power house last night set the city wild and for some time nothing bad enough could be predict ed as the cause of the outburst. The wierd scream of this whistle has not been heard since the removal of the waterworks from the old plant on the river to the new plant on West Fourth avenue. It was formerly used as fire alarm. When it was heard in all parts of the city last night the switchboard at the South- western Telephone Company became blaze of lights, caused by residents in all parts of the city calling Cen tral' at the same time to ascertain the location of the supposed fire.
 It was found to be a call for the employees of the company, to work on water main at Fourth avenue and Georgia street, which bursted. In the downtown district pedestrians stood spellbound for several moments expecting at any moment to see blazes leap up all around them and to hear the gong of the fire wagons. In great anxiety one resident of the city called central and asked where .sse ss.,- -.e- wsis.- vas The young lady ase sured him that there was no fire, whereupon he wished to know why that whistle was blowing. In a nice way the young lady asked him if he did not whistle some time.
