A DEATH FOR A LIFE
-oto-- By H. N. EGr -RT.

MT. Hanson, III brought you some grapes"
 The shy girl from the valley depos- ited the cluster upon the little rudely- made table in Hanson's shack and stood looking at him wistfully, the bushes deepening upon her cheeks.
 Hanson looked past her, down at the valley far beneath him, into which the evening mists were already rolling from the sea. It was wonderful scene, that valley, filled with rich vineyards and fruit orchards, where men toiled and reaped the wealth of the fertile earth, while here, on these barren mountains
 MT Hanson, l guess you must be awful lonesome up here, with only poor MT. Davis for company" said Myra sadly. That was why"
 Why you took pity on poor con- sumptive?' queried Hanson, ironically.
 The girl nodded Hanson looked at her again He had almost learned to love her during his.three months stay on the mountains. Hardly day passed but she brought him some little offer ing-a bottle of milk, a bunch of grapes, some peaches, some flowers.
 II hope you'll soon be well again" she said, and turned and ran down the slope.
 Hanson smiled ironically again. There was something of irony in his presence there, he, the supposed con sumptive, for whom the police of dozen cities were busily searching. He had wished a thousand times that he were even what he pretended to be. instead of having vigorous health.
 If once that search abated, if only he could lie down to sleep without the guilty fear of apprehension before morning; if only he could see an ap- preaching stranger without feeling that abominable quaking of the heart. then life would offer him nothing bet ter than a cottage in that same fertile valley below.-and Myra.
 He knew she loved him, for it was impossible for the simple valley girl to conceal her feelings. And he knew that she was his for the asking. If only that pursuit would stop!
 A step at the door caused him to grasp his revolver in alarm, but at the sight of the newcomer his grip on 1t relaxed. Come in, MT. Davis.'' he said
 Davis was a young Englishman, like Hanson in appearance. only with that contrast that exists be- tween a healthy man and one in the

You are a member of the peo- ples legislature when it comes to passing the Publicity Law, Act No. s. You do not have to go before the legislative committee or button hole politicians at the Capital to get Act No. 5 passed. It is to your interest to know what is being done with your tax money. You are certainly personally and vitally in terested in removing opportunity and temptation for graft, extrava- gance and spells from public off, cials. Therefore we feel justified in pronouncing Act No. 5, which will revolutionize financial methods in public office, promote good gov ernment and be the greatest tax equalizer ever pat on the statute books, law for the people and by the people. If ever there was pro- posed an Arkansas law any more vitally beneficial to the individual who votes and pays taxes than Act No. s, we don't know what law it is. You are the legislator in this instance and will vote directly on this law in the September election. Don't overlook it. A case of neg leet to vote either way on Act No
 5 is a vote against it.

 'I came to you, Hanson" he nut tered in shaky voice, sinking down in the chair. I'm dying, old man."
 Nonsense" said Hanson briskly You look a sight better than you did this time last week"
 You can't kid me, old man." said Davis. I'm goner. I haven't any lungs left. My time has come all right and-I say, want you to go over my papers after I'm through and fix up few things for me, will you? want my mother in England notified and-a few other things"

 Hanson picked him up and placed him or, his bed Davis was barely alive it was evident that his chances of going home were just about as slim as he had claimed. Hanson looked at the unconscious man in deep uncer- teinty. There was doctor in the val ley, some ten miles distant. Should he go to him and leave Davis alone, or stay with him? There was little that he could do; on the other hand there might be chance.
 He was still cogitating when Davis opened his eyes again. "Old man." he whispered, 'I want you to do some thing for me-
