Neat as well as useful" was the gay comment with which Sweetwater surveyed his work, then laid his ear to the hole. Whereas previously he could barely hear the rattling of coals from the eoalseuttle, he was now able to catch the sound of an ash falling into the ash-pit.
 His next move was to test the depth of the partition by inserting his finger i'll the hole he made. He found it stopped by some obstacle before it had reached half it's length, and anx- ious to satisfy himself of the nature of the obstacle, he gently moved the tip of his finger to and fro over what was certainly the edge of book.
 This proved that his calculations had been correct and that the open ing so accessible on his side, was completely yelled on the other by the books he had seen packed on the shelves. He had even been careful to assure himself that all the vol umes at tllis exact point stood far enough forward to afford room behind them for the chips and plaster he must necessarily push through with his auger, ard also-important consid- eration-for the free passage Of the sounds by which he hoped to profit.
 But 1t was days before he could trust himself so far. Meanwhile their acquaintance ripened, though with no very satisfactory results The detec- tive found himself led into telling sto- ries Of his early home-life to keep pece with the man who always had something of moment and solid in- terest to imFart This WAS undesir- able, for instead of calling out a cor responding confidence from Brother son, 1t only seemed to make his con- versation more coldly impersonal.
 In consequence. Sweetwater sudden ly found himself quite well and one evening, when he was sure that his neighbor was at home. he slid softly into his closet and laid his ear to the opening he had made there The re- suit was unexpected. Mir. Brotherson was pacing the floor, and talking soft ly to himself
 At first, the cadence and full mu- sic of the tones conveyed nothing to our far from literary detective The victim of his secret maehinations was expressing himself in words, words tha: was the point which counted with him. But as he listened longer and gradually took in the sense of

A new SUNDAY
SCHOOL BUILDING
PLANNED BY METHODISTS
IF PLANS ARE ACCEPTED BY
MEMBERSHIP WORK WILL BE-
GIN ABOUT JUNE l.

The Methodists of Conway are
planning the erection of large Sun
day school building on the west end
of their lots on the corner of Prince
and Clifton streets. The preaching
hour yesterday morning was taken up
in making public the plans for build
ing and financing such structure.
Rev. E. R. Steel told of the incapa-
city of the present building to accom-
modate the present Sunday school and
of the very pressing need of larger
building.
G. l.. Bahner and V. D. Hill, repre-
senting the building committee, made
talks on the kind of building proposed
and the manner in which payments
are to be made. The building pro-
posed will be two stories and base
ment, with seating capacity of 500
and costing not less than 5000, and
built so that when new auditorium
is built it can be added to the Sunday
school building without marring the
architectural beauty of either. 1t is
also proposed to remodel the present
auditorium by adding more galleries
giving better ventilation and install
ing pipe organ.
If the proposed plans meet with IA
yor with the membership work will
be started about June /, and it is
thought the building can be completed
by January l.

Little Rock, March 10.-With -four

Little Rock, March 10.-With four
more days of the 60-day session of the
general assembly, there is so much
work to be done that it is generally
admitted it will be impossible to COM
Iplete it. The appropriation bills, some
of them, have been started through
the mill, but there are others which
have not even been introduced.
An abundance of time should be
available for the consideration of ap-
preparation measures, especially when
there is difference of something like
ISL 100000 between the amounts asked
and the estimated revenue under the
present levy. 1t is probable, however,
that the house this morning will pass
the senate revenue measure intended
to reduce this difference about one
half. The bill provides for increasing
the general revenue rate from 3-4
to Ia mills and reducing the capitol
tax levy and abolishing the sinking
fund levy.
1t has been hinted that the unex-
pected turn taken Saturday with the
resignation of Governor Robinson and
the succession of w. X. Oldham, pres
ident of the senate, to the chair, will
hasten the selection of president pro
tenn of the senate
There are two avowed candidate for
the place, Senators Futrell and Har-
ris, while the names of Senators Lun-
Idy, Going, Moore and Ashley have
been mentioned as possibilities. But
the candidates for the place apparent
ly are not sure about the future, fol-
lowing the governors resignation be-
fore the end of the session. Had he
waited until after the close of the ses-
sion the president pro tenn would
have succeeded him until a special
election could be held.
About half the appropriation meas
ures stand chance of getting safely
through both houses. These include
the general appropriation bill, the
university bill, the district agricultu-
raj school measure, the state tubercu-
losis sanitarium bill and the State
Normal bill. The others, if they re-
quire the time that has been taken to
consider the others, will not complete
the circuit.
The acting governor has declined to
announce his intentions concerning an
extra session, but, without the state
institutions provided for, it would ap-
pear that no other course would be
open.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN
KILLED BY TRAIN
A MILE SOUTH OF TOWN
MIDDLE AGED MAN MEETS
TRAGIC DEATH WHEN FAIL
ING TO HEED ALARM.

An indebted man was killed this
morning by north-bound passenger
tarin No. 104, about one mile south of
the local station. The train was in
charge Of Conductor Kile and Engi-
neer Paulette. The engineer stated
that he saw the man walking in the
center of the track and that he blew
the whistle, but the man did not seem
to hear the alarm. The engineer says
he applied the emergency brakes
when about six car-lengths from the
man, but that the train was moving
too fast to be stopped in time to save
the mans life
When the train hit the man, he was
hurled several feet to the side of the
track. Both arms and legs were brok-
en-, and he was otherwise mangled.
The man was about SO years old.
about five feet six inches in height
and weighed about 160 pounds. He
had dark hair, blue eyes and wore a
brown suit.
He is thought to have been an um-
brella repairer, as he was carrying a
number of old umbrellas and a small
grip containing tools used by one of
that vocation.
An inquest will be held this after
noon at a o'clock. The body is being
held at the undertaking establishment
| of J. A. Pence, awaiting Instructions.
