# she wouldn't advance-why
should he consent to be held back by
her? If she wouldn't go on with him
he would leave her behind. The
thought and the resultant decision
had their birth suddenly but positively
in the mans mind. He would make
one more argument, one last appeal.
II Mary wouldn't meet him half way,
Mary could stay behind with her ever
lasting darning and her eternal knit
ting. She could wash and cook and
stew and sew, If she liked. but she
couldn't do it in his mansion.
But Daniel Slade was no more un-
comfortable at having her there than
Mary Slade was at being obliged to
live in this great, elegant house, with
its crowds of servants and its routine,
absolutely foreign and well-nigh hate
into her surroundings. She realized
her own inharmony. Her attempts to
look natural and feel comfortable
were pathetic. She felt lost without
the task of overseeing the Mondays
washing. She was heart-broken be-
cause she couldn't personally superin-
tend the making of Dams coffee. Her
life was incomplete because a hired
cook made the bread that was served
on the table and because Dan never
seemed to miss the evenly brown
loaves that had been her especial
pride in the old days.
Mary Slade was as commonplace as
a cup Of boiled tea. She was a plain,
ordinary, everyday woman, who loved
a simple, unpretentious life. with the
neighbors dropping In for word or
two. exchanging recipes for mullins
and debating the proper way to sea-
son a stew.
There was neither charm nor COM
fort for her in the vista of rooms open
ing out from the spacious library. The
brocaded chairs were straight and
didn't rock. They were high-posted
and stilted compared to her own low
seated little rocker In the cottage.
When she sat back in them, stiffiy
and awkwardly, her feet didn't even
reach the floor, but dangled restlessly
above the priceless rug that was one
of her husbands newest purchases.
All big crises in life are the re-
suits of trifles. 1t took the merest
incident to crystalline Slade's thought
into action. Mary had picked up a
portion Of the paper after 1t had
dropped from her husbands hands
She started to read the printed page

Suddenly her eyes lighted with

but significant line:

almost imagine. 1t was going to speal
to me-"
Then she paused a little wistfully
and doubtfully before she asked:
"But do you really want to be gov
ernor?"
Want to be?''
Slade caught his breath as he re
peated her question.

the one thing he had yet to achieve!
He sighed wearily to himself. That
Mary could ask that question was the
best proof of how irrevocably they
had drifted apart. Living in the same
house with him, eating at the same
table, day after day at his side, the
little woman knew no more of his
real self or his ambitions than the
merest stranger.
Its a nice story about yer, Dan,"
Mary went on, all unconscious of the
struggle going on just a few feet away
from her-the struggle between the
heart of man that calls out to the
companion of his youth, the sharer of
his joys and struggles and the brain

ROBERT THREET
 GIVEN 20 YEARS ONE LESS THAN MAXIMUM SHORT AND INEXPENSIVE CIR CUT COURT SESSION
 WEARS END.

A sentence of 20 years imprison- ment in the state penitentiary, one year less than the maximum under the law, was imposed by Judge Lank- ford this afternoon upon Robert Ihreet, the negro convicted of mis- treatment of Gertie Hollingshead, a l4-year-old white girl. Threet was sentenced to hang after a trial in cir cult court last July, but on appeal the supreme court remanded the case for new trial. stipulating that if the state would consent judgment of guilty of carnal abuse would be en- tered. The mandate was certified to the circuit court and Judge Lankford today pronounced sentence.
 With the coeker practically cleared. the January term of court will end tomorrow The present session has been one of the shortest and least ex- pensive in the history of the county. Circuit Clerk J. H. Hartje estimates the total cost at not much over S1 ,000. of which the largest part will be the cost of trying Rule Broows, acquitted Of murder charge.
 The jury in case of Rawleigh Med ical Go. vs. li. H Curedon and his bondsmen, w. H. Duncan, E. W. Rog- CTS and W, R. Sturgiss, yesterday afternoon returned a judgment for S902.36 in favor of the plaintiffs.
 At a hearing last night the court refused to allow the exemptions claim ed by W. H. Gibbs, who sought to schedule an amount due him from an insurance policy of household goods. The insurance amounting to $500 had already been paid into court, and the court directed the clerk to pay Halter Bros. a judgment amounting to about $500. Claud Powell and J D. Pope, intervenors, were allowed S125 and J. D. Collier $500. Gibbs asked an ap- peal and was granted 90 days to file HIS Dlll Ol eACepllOIlS.
 On motion of City Attorney R. G. Bruce, the case against R. D. White, fined in mayors court for Sabbath breaking, was dismissed at cost of the defendant.
 Ed Graves, indicted for stealing a horse and buggy from Mrs. R. K. Wilkerson, entered a plea of guilty and was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary.
 In the case of J. F. Padgett against the city of Conway and others, the court dismissed the suit as to the city ana the waterworks board. The case against J. McCoppin, contractor, is still pending.
 w. M Walker, the negro indicted for attempting to pass forged check at the Faulkner County Bank last week, entered piea of guilty, but the court, evidently regarding the negro to be of weak mind, allowed the case to be continued during his good be- havior.
