"SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS"

The success of Harold Bell
Wright's novel, "The Shepherd of the
Hills" made into a play by its author
in collaboration with Fishery W. Rey-
no!ds, is proving just as big on the
stage as in book form it does in the
book stores.
The story Of the play is based on a
somewhat dramatic plot Of mystery.
An unknown comes into the Ozark
mountains, and because of his clerical
bearing and readiness to oificiate for
the regular pastor of the mountain
GERS who live so much to themselves,
are willing to let the man live the life
of a partial recuse. He makes friends
with one family and volunteers for
the place of shepherd. In this guise
he attempts to eXpiate the wrong
doing of his son who, several years
previously had come into the noun
tains and wronged one of the young
women. Her father has vowed dead
ly vengeance on the betrayer of his
daughter, but he has disappeared,
leaving no traces of his whereabouts.
1t is general supposed that he is
dead The good shepherd wins the
love and respect of the mountaineers,
though at one time his life is endan-
gered by lawess band of mountain
GERS who suspect he is a revenue of
ficer.
There are many dramatic episodes
in the play, but its strength lies in the
unfolding and development of its
characters. The shepherd is a most
impressive figure, mentally and phys
ically. The young woman who is the
heroine of the story is untrammeled
by the conventions of the town and
has good red blood in her veins. With
the aid of the shepherd she polishes
her mind so that she becomes a young
woman of culture and refinement.
Then there is the young mountaineer,
whose love is honest and sincere and
who downs the champion bully and
strong man of the mountains in a
marvellous contest of strength and en-
durance. Then there is the uncanny
youth who wanders like a will-oIhe
wisp across the mountains and is the
means of finally bringing happiness to
the shepherd and restoring the good
name of the mountaineers family.
There is much atmosphere" of the.

GEORGE CRAPLINE DIES
FROM BLOOD POISONING
HAS BEEN PREACHER, LAW
YER, LEGISLATOR AND REAL
ESTATE DEALER.

George Fleming Chapline died sud
denly last Tuesday al Sarasota, Fla,
from the effects of thorn penetrat-
ing his ear.
This ends one Of the most interest
ing careers that has recently been be
fore the people. Chapline is known
here chiefly in connection with the
famous Clarendon Will Of Mrs. Caro-
line Cloth as attorney for J. Bruce
Garrett of Clarendon.
His career was as strange as it was
meteoric. He has been a preacher at
Jackson, Miss, lawyer in Claren-
don, Ark, and real estate dealer in
Sarasota, Fla. He has represented
his county in the Arkansas legisla-
ture. He brought on the legal battle
which is being waged over the Clar-
endon- Cloth will, but left the battle
at its height and went to Florida
some months ago, where he has been
engaged in the real estate business.
Nothing further could be learned
of the manner of his death last night
than that thorn in his ear had
caused blood poisoning.
Mr.. Chapline had considerable tai
ent along literary lines and was the
author of numerous verses-Com-
mercial Appeal.

SECOND GAME.
In the evening game the high
school boys had everything their own
way. They literally ran away from
the Hendrix team, rolling up score
of 40 points and holding the colleg-
ians to Is. At the end of the first
half the score stood q to 10, in favor
of Little Rock, and the Hendrix
bunch was in the lead only once,
when the score was to 6, in the
early part of the game.
Hendrix was outclassed, and at no
stage of the game did it look the
least bit dangerous for the High"
boys. Little Rock had the game prac-
tically cinched at the end of the first
half, and the Hendrix team seemed
to be very much disheartened, which
probably accounts for their poor
showing in the second half The To-
cal boys used the second half merely
to pile up their number of points.
