hurried away, glad of the respite,
glad to compose himself. He must
be articulate, he must be clear-head-
ed, for he had to tell Lilith about
Ada. -...
And yet he knew she would not
care. She would have no scruples :
about usurping the others place. l.
To his surprise the monkey left his !.
shoulder and sprang to the lowest
branch of the tree under which the
hammock hung. Folsom hurried
away and presently. coming back
with the lemonade, saw something
which astounded him.
Lilith, in an access of fury, had
reached up and grasped the monkey,
and now holding her fast by the
throat with one hand, was thrashing
her with the other. The little animal
was nearly choked, she could not
scream, but, with both hands over
her head, strove vainly to ward off
that shower of stunning blows. Then
Folsom came up as Lilith flung the
creature from her.
Minnie crept sobbing into Johns
arms. He turned and faced the girl
who, disheveled and flushed with pas
sion, stood gazing at him uneasily.
81 thrashed the little BEAST she
said.
what did she do to you?" asked
John quietly. So.
"She sat on the tree and made
faces at me-" Lilith answered petu-
.lantly. "And 1 tell you, John, unless
you get rid of the beast you must"
She had meant to say get rid of
me-" but something in Johns face
checked her.
I'm sorry if / hurt her, john she
said. But the little wretch hates me
and can't bear to be hated. l want
to be loved, john" she added, lifting
her face toward his. - .s..;-.-.

Her letter never altered in tone, eX-
cept that they had become a little
more reserved, little more distant,
in response to the unconscious
change in his. And ever he halted
between his two loves, now resolute-
ly faithful to Ada and now overpow-
cred by the exotic allurement of
: Judge Aintree's daughter.
The old life seemed very far away
now. The new life was pleasant and
alluring. He had been taken up by
the colony; everybody believed that
he and Lilith were engaged. He must
made his decision.
The day of his decision came. 1t
was perfect afternoon in the season
of rains, John Folsom, his little COM
panion perched on his shoulder. was
seated in swinging chair in Judge
Aintree's garden. He had brought
Minnie with him because she whim-
pered so when he left her, and be-
cause he felt, somehow, that she was
a talisman to him. Deep in his heart
he knew that Lilith would never
bring him happiness, but her pres
ence drove reason from his brain and
deadened his heart against all memo
ries of the girl back east Lilith was
seated in the hammock under the
tree, and all the other guests had
discreetly withdrawn to distance.
She had meant to capture him that |
day and never had she looked more
captivating She was dressed all in
white, her little feet, in their neatly |
fitting shoes, swung to and fro with |
the motion of the hammock. Over her
head she carried a white parasol. |
John Folsom looked at her and the
spell was on him. He came to her
side.

TAX COMMISSION IS
 REVENUE PRODUCER

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-David A. Gates of the Arkansas Tax Commits sion declares that the commission has fully demonstrated it's efficiency as a revenue producer, and that it has enough work to keep it busy. He does not believe the bill by Caldwell for the consolidation of the railroad and the Tax Commission will prevail. He says that the physical valuation of rail roads has not increased more than five per cent during the last four years by reason of new roads and inn provements, but that through the as sistance of the Tax Commission the assessed valuation has increased from $51, 100000 to $S2,000,000 on rail roads, telegraph lines, express com panies, etc. This means an increase in the revenue derived from such cor porations of $6S2, ,0OO in four years.

". [. ALEXANDER
 IS FASTING
REFUSED FOOD TEN DAYS
CONDEMNED MAN IS MOVED FROM JAIL TO STATE
 HO"PITAL.

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-Shv ri if O.. Ed gar Brewster of Pine Bluff was in the city Friday afternoon and while here had w. c. Alexander moved from the Pulaski county jail to the hospital at the Arkansas penitentiary. AleXan- der is under sentence of death for the murder of J. P. Kelly in a saloon in Pine Bluff some months ago. He was incarcerated in the penitentiary as "safekeeper" for many months, and during the whole time never spoke to any one, and continually paced up and down the prison corridor or along the walls in the yard. He was adjudged insane and a respite given him by Governor Donaghey. Several weeks ago Superintendent Pitcock ordered all sheriffs of the state who had men in the penitentiary for safekeeping to come after them. Alexander could not be taken to Pine Bluff, so Sheriff Brewster persuaded Sheriff w. P Hutton to permit him to leave Alex ander in the Pulaski county jail. AL eXander has refused food for 10 days and has become so emaciated that Sheriff Hutton was afraid he was go- ing to die, so informed Sheriff Brews- ter he could care for the prisoner no longer. Physicians who have exam ined Alexander say he can live but a few weeks.

COY. ROBINSON GRANTS
 M'VEY ANOTHER RESPITE
INSANITY WILL PROBABLY ROB GALLONS OF MAN OF MANY
 RESPITES.

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-The first proclamation issued by Governor Rob- inson, and his first act of clemency was to grant respite Friday after noon to John McVey, the Pine Bluff who had been respited sev- eral times previously. He was orig inally convicted in the spring of 1912, and sentenced to hang May 1, 1912. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, which affirmed the lower court, and the case was taken to the su- preme court of the United States on a writ of error, which was not allow ed. Then the mans mind became un- balanced, and Dr. Green declared him to be suffering from collapse delirium One of Governor Donaghey's last acts was to grant him respite until Jan uary 31, 1913, that his mental capaci- ty might be definitely determined.
 Sheriff Edgar Brewster and Coun- ty Physician Asa Brunson make the statement that neither the physical nor the mental condition of the con- demned man show any improvement, and for this reason the governor has granted him further respite until Feb ruary 2S.

BILL TO AUTHORIZE IMPROVE MENT DISTRICT, AS RESULT
 OF ROADS CONVENTION.

Little Rock, Jan. 25.-The annual convention of the Arkansas Good Roads Association ended Friday aft .ernoon with the election of officers W. A. Cokerman, county judge of Drew county, Monticello, was elected president; J. T. Angelo of Augusta, was made vice president, and George Russ Brown of Little Rock, reelected secretary and treasurer. The execu- tive board is composed of First dis trict, A. Bertig, Paragould; Second district, c. B. Coe, Newport; Third district, J. H. Hand, Yellville; Fourth district, w. A. Falconer, Fort Smith; Fifth district, Joe Asher, Little Rock; Sixth district, C. NJ. Philpot, Pine Bluff, and Seventh district, H. E. Cook of Lake Village.
 One of the results of the conven- tion was the organization of an inn provement district which will build road from Fort Smith, across the state to Memphis. This road will lead from Fort Smith to Van Buren, where it crosses the Arkansas river and con- tinue down the north side of that stream to Little Rock. It will then follow the Rock Island railroad to Forrest City, where it will turn north, entering Memphis parallel to the Iron Mountain tracks. A bill will soon be presented to the legislature authoriz- ing the organization of this district, which is about 300 miles in length and which will connect many of the best towns of the state with an automobile pike Most of the road between Lit tie Rock and Fort Smith is an old government road, and was used by the .trans-continental stage coaches be- fore the advent of the railroad.

WOODROW WILSON
9Th PRESBYTERIAN

In the election of Woodrow Wilson, the
Presbyterian Church has broken the tie
which existed between it and the Epis-
copalian chruch. in the number or Presi-
dents who belonged to each denomina-
ton. Mr.. Wilson will be the eighth
President who has been a Presbyterian.
Seven Episcopalians have held the high
est office in the land The Methodists
and Unitarians are tied with four each
the Dutch Reformed church has number
ed two Presidents among its members
and the Church of the Disciples one. Six
religious denominations therefore have
monopolized the Presidency up to the
present time
There is much interest in Washington
as to which church President Wilson will
go after he takes up his residence in the
White House. Washington has 10 Pres
byterian houses of worship, but only
two are located so as to become con-
venient for the President. One of these
is the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church, which is only two blocks from
the White House, and the other the
Church of the Covenant, which is sew
eral blocks further away. President
Lincoln attended the New York Avenue
Church. The pew which he occupied
