Worth Speaking Of.

A bunch of men stood in front of Lamm & Co.'S. show window during the past week and were evidently admiring the classy line being exhibited by that firm when the ARGUS man came up.
 One of them said: It's worth a notice in your paper. l think that the stores of Brinkley are all far ahead of the stores in any other town of similar size in Arkansas. l travel around and l know. Look at that magnificent line right in there. That would do credit to a city store" The ARGUS man agreed with him both in regard to Lamm & Co.'S. and as to the fact that all of our stores are far ahead of stores in
 other cities the size of Brinkley.

I would suggest to the teach CTS of the county that the above bit of verse will bear more than one reading. Indeed, 1 think that 1t would be time well spent to memorize it. It contains some sound pedagogy that you should practice every day.

ANOTHER GOOD TAKE FOR
 BRINkLEY.
The Brinkley Dairy Co.,. with a $35, ,OOO.00 Capi- tai Stock. Full Paid
 Up, Incorporated.

During the past week, the Brinkley Dairy Co.,, capital stock $35, ,OOO.OO, full paid up, has been incorporated, and from every in- dication, this new company bids fair to be one of the biggest and best enterprises Brinkley has ever had.
 The company was organized by MT. Edwin Browne, of Chi cago, who has been figuring on locating in Arkansas for many months. MT. Browne is an ex- perienced dairyman, having been in the business since his early boyhood and has had practical experience in every branch of it.
 The ARGUS editor received a letter from MT. Browne a few months after the tour of the Arkansas on Wheels train thro' Illinois last year, inquiring about the openings and opportunities along the dairying line around Brinkley. We wrote him our ideas and suggested that he come here and see for himself.
 Mir. Browne came here about six weeks ago, and since coming has visited many other towns and cities of Arkansas compar- ing the advantages and opportu- mites with those of Brinkley. He went about this in a quiet business like way and therefore his decision to buy land and To- cate here was after due deliber- ation. His purchase includes several tracts footing up to about 400 acres of land 4 E miles south of Brinkley among them the H. A. Carter place, the w. T. Morris tract. etc, on which there is about 250 acres in cultl- vation.
 The Brinkley Dairy Co. will bring in several hundred blooded cows, many of which they will keep and use. and quite a few will be sold to people around this territory in order to produce the necessary milk which they Will buy and pay highest cash price for. They expect to put Tn a creamery plant here and not only cater to local trade but to event ually run wagons in Hot Springs, Little Rock and Memphis.

HUMMER OCCUPIES PULL

The rather unusual thing of a travelling man occupying the pull pit was seen in Brinkley Sunday night when L. H. Moore, who for the past 30 years has been Ion the road" as a travelling salesman for a St. Louis house. preached at the Presbyterian church, having for his text or topic, Men and Religion.
 The church was crowded and the large audience gave a most attentive hearing to MT. Moore, who made a very strong appeal omen to pay more attention to the most important business of their lives their souls salva- ton. In the course of his ad- dress MT. Moore paid his respects Q the open saloons and laid the Dame for the recent failure of statewide prohibition to the smooth trick of the <whiskey crowd in planning to inject the

The ARGUS is always glad to give credit where credit is due and it is therefore a pleasure to note the manner Mayor Cameron and Marshal Owens are taking care of the tramp nuisance. During the past month they have sent 40 hobos to the county farm.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Challenge Of the Rance,

The Challenge of the Range.
Mr.. James Armstrong sat at his
desk before the west window in his
private room in one of the tallest
buildings in Denver. His suite of Of
fees was situated on one Of the TOP
floors, and from it he had clear and
unobstructed view of the mighty
range over the Intervening house tops
and other buildings. The earth was
covered with snow. It had fallen stead
lily through the night, but with the
dawn the air had cleared and the sun
had come out brightly, although it was
very cold
Letters. papers, documents, the de-
mands of a business extensive and var
led, were left unnoticed. He sat with
his elbow on the desk, his head on his
hand, looking moodily at the range.
IL the month that had elapsed since
he had received news of Enid Matt
lands disappearance he had sat often
in that way, In that place staring at

an, whilst he almost loved the old,
yet that he did neither the one thing
nor the other absolutely was signif-
can't
Indeed he knew that he was glad
Enid Maitland had come into his life.
No life is complete until it Is touched
by that divine fire which for lack of
another name we call love. Because
we can experience that sensation we
are said to be made in Gods image.
The image is blurred as the animal
predominates, it is clearer as the spir-
itual has the ascendency.
The man raved in his mind. White
faced, stern, he walked up and down
he tossed his arms about him, he stop
ped, his eyes closed, he threw his
hands up toward God, his heart cried
out under the decorations of the blows
inflicted upon it. No fage1lant of old
ever trembled beneath the body lash
as he under the spiritual punishment.
He prayed that he might die at the
same moment that he longed to live.
He grapp1ed blindly for solutions of
the problem that would leave him with
untarnished honor and undiminished
self respect and fidelity, and yet give
him this woman, and in vain He
strove to find way to reconcile the
past with the present, realizing as he
did so the futility of such a PROPOSE
ton. One or the other must be SUI
preme, he must inexorably hold to his

it in obedience to some higher law, is
perhaps to pay oneself the most fat
tering of compliments. There was a
satisfaction to her soul In this which
was yet denied him.
Her action was quite different from
his. She was putting away happiness
which she might have had in compli-
ance with higher law than that
which bids humanity enjoy. It was
fattering to her mind In his case,
it was otherwise; he had no con-
seriousness that he was victim of
misplaced trust, of misinterpreted &C
ton. He thought the woman for
whom he was putting away happiness
was almost as worthy, If infinitely less
desirable, as the woman whom he now
loved.
Every sting Of outrage, every feel
ing Of shame, every fear of disloyalty,
scourged him. She could glory in it;
he was ashamed, Inundated, broken.
She heard him savagely walking up
and down the other room, restlessly
impelled by the same Erinyes which
Of old scourged Orestes; the violator
of the laws of moral being drove him
on, These malign Eumenides held
him in their hands. He was bound and
helpless, rage as he might in one
moment, pray as he did in another. no
light came into the Whir1ing darkness
of his torn, tempest tossed, driven
soul. The irresistible impulse and the
immovable body the philosophers puz-
zled over were exemplifed in him.
Whilst he almost hated the new WON

ideas and his ideals, or he must tnev-
ttably take the woman.
How frightful was the battle that
ragged within his bosom! Sometimes
in his despair he thought that he
would have been glad il he and she
had gone down together in the dark
waters before all this came upon him.
The foods of which the heavens had
emptied Themselves had borne her to
him. Oh If they had only swept him
out Of life with It's trouble, its trials,
it's anxieties, it's obligations, its impos,
sibilities. II they had gone together!
And then he knew that he was glad
even for the torture, because he had
seen her, because he had loved her,
and because she had loved him.
He marveled at himself curiously,
and in a detached way. There was a
woman who loved him, who had con-
fessed it boldly and innocently, there
was none to say him nay. The woman
who stood between had been dead five
years. The world knew nothing, cared
nothing; they could go out together;
he could take her, she would come. On
the impulse he turned and ran to the
door and beat upon it. Her voice bade
him enter, and he came in.
Her heart yearned to him. She was
shocked, appalled, at the torture she
saw upon his face. Had he been laid
upon the rack, and every Joint pulled
from its sockets, he could not have
been more white and agonized.
