 lney are very narrow and very dirty.
 On the border of this region lies the Cafe du Tonkin. It is comparatively respectable, and occasionally a tourist or newly arrived official under escort makes his appearance In the bar in order to acQuaint himself with what he conceives to be the real thing" Therefore when Capt. Desire Arnaud
 sauntered along the narrow, evil smelling street he attracted little no- uce, tho more so as dusk had already set in and deepened the eternal shad- ows to a concealing darkness. Captain
 Arnaud entered the unguarded door way. He was evidently on a serious
 errand, for he did not appear again. Instead, some ten minutes later a man in ragged, ill-6tting clothes lurched out on to the pavement and slunk on deeper into the labyrinth of alleys and
 lightless passages. He wore a broad brimmed hat pulled well over his eyes and bunch of roses stuck in his half- open coat He chose a narrow passage running between two empty houses, and felt his way over the uneven flags, his hands touching either wall to keep him from stumbling. The music sound ed nearer. Abruptly the passage twisted into an open square, dimly lighted, and the music became deaf enfng discord of voices. The contrast after the dark eastern reticence of the region behind him was bizarre and brutal. Red lanterns had been strung across from one low-roofed house to another, and their soft light fell on scene which might have been painted from a wild dream of Montmartre. The place was full. Long tables built rough semicircle round a central table, laden with empty bottles and clipped, wine-stained glasses. On a free cor her woman sat with folded arms and sang. Her voice was rough and feelingless, but it harmonized with what surrounded her-it was like a shriller note of the red-tinted atmos-

MEASURE DRAFTED BY MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE CALLING
 FOR CONVENTION.
SAYS MANYLAWS ANTlQUATED
lt Is Also Said One Proposition Which Meets Approval of Everybody and This Is to Abolish Biennial
 Elections.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
 Judging from comments made by senators and representatives who will occupy seats in the next Arkansas Legislature, it is a foregone conclusion that the Legislature will adopt joint resolution calling a convention to frame a new organic law for the state. Several of the most prominent members of both branches have draft ed measures which will be introduced early in the session, calling the con vention to meet in Little Rock some time during the summer of 1917. The only questions to work out, according the past few days, are the details as to when the convention should con vene, it's basis of representation, and whether the call should be submitted to lne voters of the state or not. The majority seem to be in favor of call ing the convention outright and then submitting the instrument to the vot- CTS at the November election to be held in 1918.
 Efforts to amend the constitution by the submission of special amend ments every two years have proved a failure and caused general sentiment in favor of an entirely new draft alto gether. Nearly every one now con cedes that the question will be settled for all time to come at the session of the Legislature to convene next January. There is one proposition which meets the approval of every body, and that is to abolish biennial elections and provide four-year terms for all state, county and township of fees. Placing all officials on salaries and abolishing the fee system is also one of the questions that will be set tied permanently in favor of the sal ary system.

Gone!
A little later Kynaston sent Q cor
poral with two men and led horse
to the railroad, ten miles away. with
instructions that after the officer came
they should wait till moonrise before
starting back. After seeing the little
party start he took refuge in his ham,
mock. Pipe in mouth, he lay watch
ing the night drop down over the pur-
pling hills.
The old padre felt his way painfully
out of the tent that Kynaston had as.
signed for his use, and very laborious-
ly made his way to the tree, guided by
the purring of Kynaston's pipe.
when dost thou expect thy visitor
to arrive, my SOM"
Should be here an hour after the
moonrise, PADRE" said Kynaston.
But, senior, moonrise means moth.

We'll, padre, it means that in about
four or five hours the officer who has
been sent to receive the stolen ar.
ticles will arrive. When he does come

cans say, about giving back to you the
bell that you have Travelled so far to
get. Won't you be seated ?-and we1l
talk till he shows up"
With word of thanks the old man
sank into the reclining chair which the
officer pushed forward.
In the course of that long talk, pune
tuated by the purr of his pipe and the
heavy breathing of the over-baked
earth, Kynaston learned much, for he
was an apt pupil.
He learned of heavy.footed wander
ings over hot plains and well-nigh
trackless mountains; of nights spent
in the waterless desert, with only the
yelping of the tireless coyotes for COM
pany.
Il beg the lieutenant's pardon, sir,
but there's horses comm up the trail"
1t was the observant trumpeter who
spoke. Kynaston, obedient to the
summons, laid down his pipe and
walked down upon the fat. He now
plainly heard the horses come quickly
up the rocky trail. Within moment
or two they pulled up before the camp,
and he went forward to greet an OFF,
Ger who dismounted swiftly and intro
duced himself.
II am Major Updyke, Mr.. Kynas-
ton. The general sent me down here
to relieve you Of part Of your en-
barrassment. He also requested me

of life are transitory And through
his thoughts there glinted the SHIN
mering gold of Dorothy Upton's hair.
Suddenly breaking OF his reverie,
he turned to the first sergeant.
"Send man to the nearest tele-
graph station" he ordered. I've got
a message for headquarters"
Within few minutes the man was
rapidly trotting of on his twenty-mile
errand. Kynaston spent the next two
hours in chat with the old priest, who
was a golden talker. So the moments
passed quickly till the rapid drumming
of hoofs on the trail told Of the return
of the messenger.
He handed Kynaston letter.
Il got the adjutant general HIM
self, sir, and he answered right away"
Kynaston tore open the envelope
and read:
Kynaston, Cavalry
Keep possession OF valuables till Of
ficer arrives to receipt to you for 1t. He
will come tomorrow.
Jephson. Adjutant General.
THANK goodness, that will take the
responsibility off my shoulders" he
commented as he swung couple of
the heavy Navajo blankets over the
extra cot to make a resting place for
the old priest, who sank heavily to
rest.
Kynaston passed out of the tent to
see to his horses.

"I shall have to notify department

there. l have no authority to give it
to anyone and I'm sorry to say can't

Padre" he went on to the old
priest, who was standing with out
stretched neck listening to such few
words as he could understand, Il

but shall have to hold it for you until

Dorothy stared up the road, pres
emily she sprang upon great bowlder
and waved her veil at the oncoming
machine.
Its father!" she called back ex
citedly over her shoulder. Its d
ther! We sha'n't have to wait after
all for the chauffeur to get back"
Kynaston laughed frankly at her
look Of dismay as she realized how
what she had said must sound to the
young cavalryman.
I'm sorry you're so anxious to get
away 30 soon, Miss Upton. I'll 90
and give your father hand with his
machine"
Mr.. Upton needed no help. He ran
his machine up to the bottom OF the
slope and swinging out came forward
with outstretched hand.
Breakdown, eh? I'm glad 1t hap
pened where you could help them,
Kynaston. You never met my daugh-
ter before, did you? You girls will
know enough to take my advice next
time. I'll take you on now, and the
machine can wait till the man gets
back.
IF you ever get a chance, Kynas-
ton, come over to the Santa Cruz
mine. Well be glad to see you. What
are you going to do with all your
plunder that / see here?"
Kynaston told him that he would
have to send a messenger that night
to the nearest telegraph station with
dispatch asking what to do with the
valuables that he had captured.
"In the meantime" he added, Il

drew his breath hard.
