Suddenly Stanton put his finger on
the thing he sought, one thing that
made this mechanician different; and
voiced his thought before considering
wisdom
You're a different class. Floyd" he
stated abruptly. You're no workman.

Floyd stared. startled at the brusk
irrelevance, then melted into
straight, direct smile as he met the
keen gaze.

the first time since the Beach victory.

Last summer they were entertain

The pact was made. In after time.
Stanton came to wonder at it's bald
simplicity.
The assistant manager overlook
Floyd. little later, when that young
mechanician, at least specifically
cleaner and wrapped in a long dust
coat, was leaving the training camp
See here, Floyd; you are going to
race with Stanton right along, he
says"
Yes, sir"
Mr.. Green agitated his foreboding
head.
You won't get along with him." he
asserted darkly. mo one does He,
he is-youll see. But you won't
leave US on the edge Of race, will
YOU? We are entered at Massachu-
sets, for week after next; you'll turn
up on time, no matter what he does
in between?"
Surely, sir l would not leave any
one without notice, Of course"
Plenty Of notice, Floyd. For you
can't stand Stanton"
Stanton at that moment was in his
tent, contemplating with cynical spec
ulation a florists box Of fragrant
green leaves lying on a chair. There
was no card with these, but they were
sprays of laurel. In fancy he saw the
message that had accompanied the
orchids, the delicately engraved let
tiers: Valerie Atherton Carlisle. Did
she take him for matinee idol. he
scoffed; or, what did she want? Some
thing. she wanted something OF him,
What? Only amusement, probably.
He had not grown to manhood in New
York city without learning that men
and women in certain set alleged
their extreme wealth as license,
which freed them from the restraint
of small conventionalities, and AFRO
gantly took such diversion as the mo-
ment offered. And should he play the
game to which she invited him, or
decline it? Was 1t worth while? he
was weary to exhaustion. but still he
remained gazing at the box of laurel.
"You can't stand Stanton" Mr.
Green was warning Floyd. by way OF
farewell.
And the mechanician was laughing.

Floyd was himself again, watchfully

OUIGR0WiNG HIMSELF.

A young man in Huttig has been heard to say that he is to big to go Sunday School. We don't know the young man and don't know how big he is. We have wondered if he is as big as William Jennings Bry- an. We stood by the side of Viii liam J. Bryan and felt very small indeed when we compared our bulk with his. Then when we measure his intellect we are led to believe there IS nothing very small about that. And yet Bryan is one of the most sought after men in Sunday schools circles in Washington to- day. If he does what the ministers of Washington ask him to do he will probably be the teacher of the largest Sunday school class in the

PASTORS OF VARIOUS CHURCHES IN CAMDEN ENDORSE JURIST
 FOR GOVERNOR.
HIGH IN CHURCH AFFAIRS
He Has Respect of People Among Whom He Lives.

Pastors of the four largest churches of Camden have written the following open letter endorsing Judge George W. Hays, candidate for governor, who is a resident of Camden and a mem Der of the Baptist church:
 Camden. Ark, May g. 1913.
 Among the splendid men who have announced for governor in recent years, none stand higher than Judge George w. Hays, of Camden, Human ly speaking, he is what the world terms self-made man. From the lowliest walks of life, by his indomit able energy, unquestioned integrity and unswerving devotion to duty, he has forged his way to the place where he has the confidence and respect of the people among whom he has been reared, and where he has spent praeti eally his entire life.
 His private life is irreproachable- a quiet, unassuming, inoffensive eiti- zen, attending strictly to his own busi ness, and wherever you meet him.

Tit OCEAN
By George Fitch Copyrighted 1913

The ocean is a huge and highly seasoned body of water which sur rounds the land.
 There is so much ocean that nc matter in what direction we travel we are bound to run into it sooner or later. The ocean is the one thing in the world which does not have to be conserved or protected. Men are using up the land, blasting down the mountains, tamperlng with the rivers and stealing the forests. But the ocean car take care of itself. Man has been fool ing with the ocean for 5000 years out there is just as much ocean now as there was, and it is in just IS good condition, though perhaps a little drtier around the edges. It has been pretty hard on man, how ever.
 The ocean is very salty and con- tains oysters, clans and Holsters Heated up with little pepper and butter, the ocean would make pretty fair table d'hote soup.
 There are really five oceans. but they are all closely connected like the competing portions of busted trust. A medium size ocean is 5000 miles across and wet all the way. It is also five miles deep in places. Persons who cannot swim are cautioned against Wading out too far into the ocean. Eventually the wader is almost certain to get beyond his depth.
 The ocean is strongly impregnat- ed with whales, codfsh, ice bergs, crabs and other foreign matter and is very useful to man. With the aid of fish line and plenty of bait, ] man can live for years on what le pulls out of the ocean. It also serves mankind by dividing the old world from the new. Owing to he long sea voyage involved there las been very little pickering be- ween the two hemispheres. If Europe had been divided into na- ions by oceans. instead of imagi- lary Ines the death rate in the last 900 years would have been much over.
 It once took two months to cross he ocean, but fast steamers now 10 it in five days. Men also cross n sailboats. motor boats and row boats and are experimenting with transatlantic aeroplanes. Un-
 ike other wild things, the ocean S not dangerous when it has been crossed.
 The ocean when calm is a beau .iful and friendly sight, but when it roars in the tempest and it's white crested waves roll mountain high it's awful majesty strikes man dumb with awe and reminds him that after all he is only a tiny mor- sel in the jaws of eternity. This is the principle mission of the ocean to keep man humble and ready to take suggestions from the AL
