Quit the country! Why, captain,
who's talking of quitting the coun-

You speak as though you were

Murrell coolly. There will be con-
fusion at frst, but there are enough
white men In the southwest to han

Our fellows will have to use their
heads as we'll as their hands or they

again Hues gave way to easy laughter.

mo, 1t isn'tl I'll have my choice OF

Hues had kindled with a ready en-

CoIIarless Frocks.

The girl who realizes how ex-
tremely becoming the collarless frock
has proved to be will be glad to learn
of its continued popularity.
For this reason the high-neck ruff
fles and ruches of tulle, chiffon and
taffeta, with their small clusters Of
flowers set at intervals around the
collar, will be worn when furs are dis
carded and it is necessary to have
some protection.
II one chooses to wear collar
band, it must be unusually high. In
models from Paris the high collars
are shaped to follow the outline of
the hair back of the ears.
The little pleated frill, so dear to
the French woman, makes a soft be-
coming line around the face.

The corsaue Bouquet.

The corsage bouquet is one OF the
prettiest fancies in dress ornamental
ton. On special occasions, when one
wishes the austerely tailor-built cos
tune to take on a glorified and festal
air, a modish flower arrangement
pinned to the coat front will work
very pretty miracle. The most fash
ionable of these artificial posies is
combination Of orchids with lilies OF
the valley, or, II the bouquet is OF
.vioIets or roses, sprays Of lily of the
valley must be tucked In.

Ware went from the cabin.

Good" said Fentress, and took his
leave
Three-Quarters of an hour slipped
by, then, piercing the silence, Murrell
heard q shrill whistle; 1t was twice
repeated; he saw Bess go down to
the landing again. A half-hour
elapsed and a man issued from the
scattering growth Of bushes that
screened the shore. The newcomer
crossed the clearing and entered the
cabin. He was young fellow Of
twenty-four or five, whose bronzed
face wore a reckless expression.
We'll, captain. what's doing?" he
asked.
IF anythings to be done, now is
the time, Hues. What have you to

'eWen, I've seen the council OF each
Clan division. They are ripe to start

Murrell gave him a moment oil
moody regard.

thrust out his Jaw.

Murrell had expected TO part with

Tom Ware was seated alone over
his breakfast. He had left his bed
as the pale morning light crept across
the great fields that were alike his
pride and his despair-what was the
use of trying to sleep when sleep was
an impossibility! He was about to
quit the table when big Steve en-
tered the room to say there was a
white fellow at the door
+ Fetch him along in here" said
Ware.
The white fellow delivered a pen
ciled note from Murrell. When he
was gone, the planter ordered his
horse.
AS Ware rode away from Belle
Plain he cursed Murrell under his
breath. His own inclination toward
evil was never robust; he could have
.onnived over a long period of years
to despoil Betty of her property, but
murder and abduction was quite an
other thing.
Three miles from Belle Plain he en-
tered a bride path that led toward
the river. A growth Of small timber
was standing along the waters edge,
but as he drew nearer, those better
ments which the resident OF that
lonely spot had seen fit to make for
his own convenience, came under his
scrutiny; these consisted Of a log
cabin and several lesser sheds.
Landing, he advanced toward the
cabin. AS he did so he saw two wom-
en- at work heckling fax under an
omen shed. They we're the wife and

dressing himself to the mother, a

"Humph!" muttered Ware. He
moved to the door OF the cabin and
entered the room where Murrell and
Fentress were seated facing each
other across the breakfast table.
"WelI, what the devil do you want
of me, anyhow" demanded the
planter.
"How's your sister, Tom?" inquired
Murrell.

MAYOR TAYLOR RETURNS

Little Rock, Aug. 29.--Mayor Chas E. Taylor has returned from a tour of the state in the interest of Amend ment No. 15, providing for the issu- ance of municipal bonds, and he is greatly enthused over the prospects. He visited Fort Smith, TeXarkana Hot Springs, and Pine Bluff and every where found the sentiment strong in it's favor. No opposition could be found anywhere to the measure. An effort is being made to place a pamphlet containing the amendment and an argument in it's favor in the hands of every voter in the state, by next Monday. Mayor Taylor was greatly impressed with conditions at Texarkana, the Texas side of the city where bonds can be issued, being much more advanced than the Arkan- sas side.
