The irony, the hardy clf-possession
with which this was said struck Mr.
Challoner to the heart. Without a
word he wheeled about towards the
door. Without a word. Brotherson
stood, watching him go till he saw his
hand fall on the knob when he quietly
prevented his exit by saying:
Unhappy truths cannot be long con
cealed. How soon does the doctor
think my brother can bear these in
evitable revelations?"
HE said this morning that II his
patient were as well tomorrow as his
present condition gives promise of, he

drew.
Orlando watched him till the door
closed then he too dropped his mask.
But is was on again, when in a little
while he passed through the sitting
room on his way upstairs.
No other day in his whole life had
been like this to the hardy inventor;
for in II both his heart and his con-
science had been awakened, and up to
this hour he had not really known
that he possessed either.

WESTERN SECTION.

WESTERN SECTION.
 The contest of the western section will be held at Providence Saturday, August 15. We are expecting the greatest contest of all times. There will be nine different contests. There seems to be great interest over the entire section. Twelve schools will be represented.
 As this is the first attempt to con- test in athletics, it seems tha tthe en- tire people are over-anxious for the occasion. The track was beautifully grade by Joe Troutman, road over- seer, and everything is in readiness.
 We are expecting the largest crowd ever assembled at Providence.
 Most of the schools have written us that they were coming in a body. If you want to see what the rural schools are attempting, come out Sat urday and see their work. We are expecting some prominent educational speakers to address the people in the afternoon.
 Everybody come and join in this great enterprise.

BANK GUARANTY
 ACT ENDOWED. CANNOT BE VOTED UPON CHANCELLOR J. E. MARTINEAU FINDS FRAUD IN INVITA-
 TIVE PETITIONS.

Little Rock, Aug. 12.-Chancellor U. E. Martineau Tuesday afternoon granted an injunction against Sec retary of State Earle w. Hodges, re- straining him from certifying out the bank guaranty act. The attack upon the measure was made by the Arkan- sas Bankers Association, using the name of the state as plaintiff.
 The decision was based upon the sufficiency of the signatures. The court held that of the 15,800 sigma lures there were about $500 that were irregular or fraudulent. He declared that man must be legally qualified elector before he is author ized to sign an initiative petition; that man who is not sufficiently in- terested in his state to pay his poll tax should not be permitted to exer- else any power, in the making of laws for the government of the people. The miners qualification was next taken up and it will be disposed of within the next few days.
 The publication of the bank guar anty and miners qualification acts has cost the state a total of $11,- 652.5O, the bank guaranty costing $91 per county, and the miners qualifi- cation $64.50 per county Under the proposed publicity act, No. 8, to be voted on September IA, the cost would | have been about $7,500.
