how useless 1t would be to explain
defined fears, and thus they rode on in
silence. He did not notice that she
glanced aside at him shyly. marking
the outline of his clear-cut features.
1t was a manly face. strong. alive. full
of character. the well-shaped head
firmly poised. the broad shoulders
squared in spite of the long night OF
weary exertion. The depths of her
eyes frightened with appreciation.
81 believe your story. Mr.. Keith"
she said at last softly.
MY story?" questioningly. and turn
ing instantly toward her.
Yes: all that you have told mo
about what happened"
"Oh; had almost forgotten having
told it. but | never felt any doubt but
what you would believe. don't think
could lie to you"
1t was no compliment. but spoken
with such evident honesty that her
eyes met his with frankness.
There could be no necessity; only
wanted you to know that I trust
you. and am grateful"
She extended her hand this time,
and he took It within his own. holding
it firmly. yet without knowing what
to answer. There was strong impulse
within him to question her. to learn
then and there her own life story. Yet.
| somehow, the reticence Of the girl
restrained him: he could not deliber-
ately probe beneath the veil she kept
lowered between them. Until she
chose to lift 1t herself voluntarily. he
possessed no right to intrude. The
gentlemanly instincts Of younger
years held him silent. realizing clear
ly that whatever secret might domi.
nate her life, 1t was hers to conceal
Just SO long rs she pleased. Out Of
this swift struggle Of repression he
managed to say:
Il appreciate your confidence. and
mean to prove worthy. Perhaps some
day | can bring you the proofs"
! Il need none other than your own
word
"Oh. but possibly you are too easily
convinced; you believed In Hawley.'
She looked at him searchingly. her
eyes glowing. her cheeks flushed.
YES" she said slowly. convincing

lous to be helped but-but this II diff

She Thought Wealthy Couple Were
Making Sport Of Her Wedding
Present.

Recently. when tho wealthy Mile. dc
r. was to be married. one OF our good
duchesses had to make her q present,
Just a little present. The duchess
thought 1t would be useless to expend
much money for a person SO rich She
thought II she would look through her
vast mansion she would be able to ind
something. some trinket. to which tho
addition of her card would give sum
cient glory She finally found in her
writing desk an Insignificant cameo
that she had once worn
The following day she received from
her young friend a letter Of enthusi-
astic thanks: "Oh. you have been very
foolish! This is too too beautiful"
etc.
She is making sport Of my little
present." thought the good duchess.
Then came second letter. this time
from the husband who was to be:
How can we thank you? We are de-
lighted This will spoil u.s."
The impertinent fellow" said the
duchess. he wants me to understand
that have been niggardly"
Nevertheless she went to pay a visit
to the RS before the marriage. There
IN the midst OF the presents. exposed
In a most prominent place. she saw the
little cameo placed upon her card. An
old gentleman approached her. He
was a member OF the Academy OF In
scriptions and Belleslettres.
What a wonderful present you have
given these children. Madame la dnch
ess." he said For forty years we have
been seeking for this very cameo, 1t
is of the era Of Trojan, and this trim
ket is valued at two hundred thousand
francs

were guilty of the crime were SO anx.

listened intently. asking few ques-
tions. until he ended. Then they both
looked up. conscious that dawn was
becoming gray In the east. Keith's
first thought was one of relief-the
bright sky showed him they were rid

HIGH HONORS FOR
 ARKANSAS MAN
Sidney Chappell, of this City Is Appointed Supervisor of the Arkansas National Forest Reserve.

News has been received here that Chief Forester Henry $. Graves, of the department of Agriculture at Washington had appointed Sidney A. Chappell, formerly of this city, supervisor of the Arkansas national forest reserve. He succeeds Daniel w. Adams, recently resigned, and will resume the duties of his new position at once.
 Mir. Chapel is the first Ark ansas man to hold position of this character. The usual cus- tom of the Agricultural Depart ment officials has been to ap- point minor officials of the de. partment at Washington to such positions.
 The position comes to Mr. Chapell in the pature of a pro- motion. When the forest re- serve was established in the spring of 1908 he was appointed as forest guard. In short time he was advanced to the po- sition of forest ranger. Two years ago he was made deputy supervisor, which position he was holding at the the time of present appointment.
 The new supervisor was born in Clark county 3S years ago and has lived all his life in Arkansas. He is a brother of Perry F. Chappell, superintendent of the Arkansas Reform School.
