ROCK CRUSHER
 IS DESTROYED

Little Rock, June 12.-Too late to save the plant from almost total de- struction, fire discovered in the engine room of the Big Rock Stone and Con- struction Company, three miles north west of Little Rock, at an early hour last night, spread rapidly through eht entire mass of buildings along the riv- CT front at the foot of Fort Logan H. Roots until nothing remained of one of the largest rock-crushing plants in the south but charred remains. The loss was total with the exception of the magazine and negro quarters, a half-mile up the river, and is estimat- ed by President w. w. Dickinson at S100000.
 The fire was discovered about 9:15 last night by workment unloading coal for the boiler room. A small
 flame crept out of the caves of the engine house, attracting their atten- tion, and upon investigation the in teror of the building was found to be seeting mass of flames. The fire fighting apparatus housed in the en- zine building was destroyed in the very beginning, and the flames, un- checked, ate into the crusher building, 120 feet high. Offices and stables fol- lowed, and the machine and repair shops. In the latter were five or six barrels of oil, which, exploding, flung liquid flame far up the cliff side and through the burning buildings.

DRY WEATHER
 STILL CONTINUES

The excessive hot, dry weather con- tnues all over the state, with not tie least promise of relief from the weather department. For weeks there has been no rain in the state, save m widely scattered localities, and in con- sequence the crops are beginning to suffer greatly. Shrubbery and grass are dying, corn is turning yellow, garden vegetables are shriveling up. and cotton will soon begin to feel the effects of the protracted high temper atures. From many localities in the state come reports that the cotton al ready up is not hurt yet, while thous- ands of acres are not up, and the sur face of the soil is baked so hard the plants could not force their way through. Hot, dry winds are sweep ing the state, and even the forest trees are beginning to show the effects of the excessive heat. The tempera- lures are hanging around 100 with the sun rising day after day in a cloud less sky. The berry crop is cut short, and wholesale grocers say their can ned goods business will begin at least a l1-c.' ! ear'icl than usual because of the ea.!y exhaustion of the supply of fres,4 vege cbles and fruits. The last "; Ks in LCy and the first in June have the hottest of any corresponding period in many years.

BY EDGAR FRANKLIN
Synopsis of Preceding Chapters.

BY battling newspaper men, MIR. Barker.
an attorney, who settled up the estate
OF his lifelong friend. John Deston. multi
millionaire, managed 10 avoid giving wlae
publicity to a strange provision In the
will Of Mr.. Deston. The eldest son,
Wilkes Deston. was ignored and the great
estate was divided between younger
son. Norman, and a cousin, Gerald
Forbes. Wilkes declared himself salts
fed with the settlement. since he, being
engrossed in scientific pursuits. had no
time for managing great fortune
After the conference at which the pro-
visions OF the will were announced, young
Forbes took Mr.. Barker aside and con-
fded to him the belief that his uncle
had been murdered. He adduced chaln
Of circumstantial evidence TO support THIS
theory. The attorney tried to argue the

When Gerald told the Desuon brothers
and the lawyer that he saw face at the
window, Mr. Barker decided IL was time

man, the younger son, was found ueao
IN the hall.
After the confusion an investigation OF
the premises was begun. Gerald Fornes

every week of all that he was doing and
how he was learning to cut the mar
Die as the artist told him. At last thei
sculptor told him that he could teach
him 20 more, and that it was time Tor
him to make a statue all by himself
John did not know at first what sort
OF a statue 70 make, for he wanted to
make one worthy to stand beside the
one in the little town up i'm Vermont
One day while he was thinking it sud-
denly occurred to him, why not make
statue that shall be like my mother.
and that shall show all the love and
kindness that she has shown me while
/ have been studying"
He could not get the idea out of his
mind, and when he told the sculptor Of
ii he told him that he thought il would
be a great and fine thing to do.
So John the next morning began ~.
work on rough block NOf marble just
like the one which years before he had
seen shipped away from the quarry e
And when he had started the work he
could hardly stop to eat or sleep untils
he had finished II. The man who had
taught him watched him with great in
tereSt, because he could see that the
statue was going to be verv beautiful.
At last il was done, and rich men, who
came to the studio TO see II wanted to
buy 1t and offered great sums OF money
for il, but John would not sell it. In
stead he sent for the carpenter and had
a big strong box made and put the
statue in it and marked just as the box
was marked which he had seen unload
ed in the Vermont town when he was d
boy.
And when IT was shipped he went with
il and saw it taken off the car aud
hauled to the village green and un-
packed and placed beside the one which
the great sculptor had made. and the
great sculptor was there and when
Johns statue was all I'm place he put
his hand on John S shoulder and Saru:
My boy. it is l who is hOnored bv hav-
ing your statue by the side of mine. It
is better than mine, because YOU had a
greater inspiration in the love of Your
mother than l did in the simple making
of a statue"
johns mother was there to hear the
words Of the great SCULPTOR, and both
she and John were thankful that whe'T
as boy he had seen the statues inside
the rough marble she had helped him u
learn to release them.
