Although there is nothing in my
life so covet as you. Miss Haldane,'
went on the man with the blunt hon
esty that somehow appealed to the
woman much more powerfully than
more graceful and romantic wooing.

You would choose the opportunity
for service" interposed the woman

Yet, there is another thing that /
ought to say" continued Gormly, and
this was the hardest thing he had ever
attempted. he thought "You have
spoken of my career, of my long and
honorable record, of my unbIemished
reputation. / have 10 confess to my
shame that ann not altogether worthy
of your confidence"
What do you mean?"
Ever since l have been In New
York, there is no act of my life that
could not tell you myself; but before

woman quickly.

way"

pered. staring at him in turn.
Il did not occur to him to lay any
emphasis upon or draw any inference
from the fact that she had remem-
bered his remarks of several months
before.
And that other woman, was 1t she
for whom you rode?9 she went on.
Yes, said he.
Did you do anything that makes
you unworthy the respect Of"
Not anything dishonorable in one

with that question about being my
wife, ] will tell you all about it. AS
it is. don't want even the faintest
shadow Of pretense about myself
where you are concerned"
You were only boy, as you say.
Mr.. Gormly," said Miss Haldane after
long pause. Il don't know what it
is. nor do | wish to, now. know
what you are, the world knows what
you have been since you have been
here, and T." She extended her hand
to him. Il trust you, would trust

The man took it in both his own.

Mrs. Haidane Is Surprised.
The Haldane family usually partook
OF luncheon together. Breakfast was
an irregular meal taken at different
times by different members of the
household, and dinner usually brought
many engagements which widely sep
arated them. A few days after the au-
tomobile ride. while the excitement
over the proposed granting. TO the
Gotham Freight Traction company of
the New York Street Car company
franchise was still at its height. Mr.
and Mrs. Haldane and their daughter,
after waiting sometime for the arrival
of Livingstone Haldane. sat down to
luncheon without him.
It was Eleanor who opened the con.

served and the servants had with

Uncle Gus CalIen Boosts the Green
 Forest-Denver Road.

Editor Tribune:-I used to be "whig- gish. 1 want to tell you folks that l am not well of yet, for when I see an industrial enterprise like this move ment for a good road coming through our township, it stirs the old "whig- gism" ups in me. The nearer home such movements the better it suits me. l want to admonish all our boys on this side to turn out, so we will not be left without good road.
 We all know Andy Cox well enough to know he will make his word good. So let us all come together next week and see how quick and easy it is to make a good road. Let us all come to- gether to man and whoop this worthy enterprise.
 If you have not become interested in the good roads movement, go over and see what Joe Erwin has done and you will think about it. Let us follow his good example.
 Boys, there is no conpulsion or con- scription about this, it is a call for volunteers.

Pardon Expected for Joseph vtlHnes.

One of the strongest petitions every made in behalf of any individual in the state will go before Governor Dona- ghey next week, asking for a pardon for our townsman Joseph Villines, who was recently convicted of manslaaahter in the Searcy circuit court.
 Strong letters have gone rorward from many prominent men of this part of the state, while the request comes almost unanimously from the court, jury, prosecuting attorney and every body else connected with the court of his conviction.
 The conviction was due to technical construction of the law, rather than desire to punish MT. Vilines. Under the courts instruction the jury felt compelled to ccnvIct The fact that their sense of justice has impelled the judge, prosecutor and the jury all to ask the pardon makes it practically certain that the governor will act favorably to the accused.

Final Appeal from President Cox and Secretary Edgmon Of the Good
 Roads Association.

October 90 is the day for work to be- gin on the Green Forest-Denver road and we want everyone interested in good roads, who live in d reasonable distance, to render all the assistance they possibly can.
 If We make good this effort it will be an easy matter to get work on other roads, as we will see the need of such work more and be more willing to work
 If the weather will not permit work on the 30th, come the next day or any day, in fact, during the week beginning the 30th.
 Please note that some changes have beer made from former arrangements. J. R. Thorn begins at Andy Cox's, working north and east; Walter Tip ton commences at the north end of Forsyth lane, working south and east; Ed Dalozier or Isaac CaIen at Roy Hyle's, moving west; Frank Phillips at foot Hyle hill, going west also; J. B. Lawrence at James Teters', working west; A. J. Turner at James Teter's, working east: John Marriott at E. A. MaXwell's, working west. The rest of the work can be laid out from Denver.
 Everybody come and bring some thing to work with, team and blow, seraper or drag if you have such, if not, bring hoe, ax or shovel. There will be dirt to shovel, stumps and rocks to dig up and bushes to cut
 Workmen are expected to go to the most convenient place designated.

Encourage the Picture Show.

Green Forest is now well up-to- date in the respect that we now have a permanent moving picture show.
 Mr. Fowler, the manager of this feature of amusement, has spared no means to make the show a first-class one in every respect. The Scott build ing on the west side has been trans formed into comfortable show room and the equipment installed is of sub stantial, high character.
 The films are the latest productions, coming from one of the best circuits in in the country.
 Since it is recognized fact that moving pictures shows are great educators and form one of the highest classes of entertainment of the day, it is to be hoped that the show will be patronized to the extent that it will re- main with us.
 To all intents and purposes the pa irons of these shows are enabled to witness productions for ten cents that cost thousands of dollars. It is a very poor show indeed that is not worth many times the price of admission.
 Let us encourage the enterprise. The price of admission to picture show will not break anybody

The past year has been a trying one on this big-hearted man, and his usually happy cheerful nature has probably been overtaxed. Many friends hope for good news soon. = Times-Echo.
