A Thrilling Serial of Devotion and Mystery

Noel Crawley was In London at the
time, getting on well and making
quite a lot of money. His Academy
picture of the year was spoken Of
everywhere. His fore was por-
traiture. "
The two men saw great deal OF
each other. and Crawley basked in
the reflected glory Of the great man,
and from that time forth attributed
his ever-growing success to that fact. .
Brooke never stayed in England
long. He hated London and his spirit
would not rest. He travelled every
where, made money here and lost It
there and made more; then he inter-
ested himself In African politics and
became really great man. And all
the time Crawley slowly but surely
crept up the hill of fame, aud In
the journey did himself uncommonly
well. -
A little under two years before the
commencement Of this story Brooke
married q certain Miss Diana Melhuish
OF whom no one had ever heard. The
marriage was kept secret until after
the honeymoon, and Brooke had gone
away to Africa. leaving his wife be-
hind, with all his love and a check
book. &c.. %'+--s
And now Brooke was in England
again, feeling very cold and uncom-
Portable. In the chill east wind of
March as he huddled back in the taxi
which was bearing him from his club
In st. James's to Crawley's studio
flat in Grosvenor road, facing the
river and the monstrous pottery
works of Doulton. -. 80
He had not seen Noel Crawley for
two years, but he had occasionally
heard from him, and tonight at the
club, where he had dined with well
known Under Secretary OF State, he
had learned a. lot about him.
Crawley ewas becoming very
popular artist, and still more popu-
lar man In the semi.smart Bohemian
society in which he moved. Brooke
was genuinely glad, ard wanted to
see him and tell him SO.
Brooke had only been in. England
a couple OF days, and those days had
been very crowded with appointments
80 crowded. indeed, that he had
barely had time to say how-do-you:
do to his wife.
The Under Secretary had had to go
on to the House comparatively early,
and Brooke's next train down to
Guildford, where his house and. wife
were. did not go till past 10 O'Clock.
With the two-mile drive at the end
OF the railway journey he expected
to be In his house before midnight.
Brooke Decides to
Look Up craMley.
He had an hour to spare A man
at the club had suggested billiards:
but Brooke decided to look up Craw-
ley.
He dismissed his taxicab and was
whisked up to Crawley's flat In a lift.
When he had last seen Crawley he
had been living very quietly in Cam
len Town. 40A Grosvenor road, with
s smart entrance hall, its liveried
sall porter and lift attendant, had
n unmistakable air OF luxury. He
,as glad. because Crawley thoroughly
eserved it all.
He heard footstep IN the hall and
niled The door opened. A tall. slim
an was silhouetted against the warm
.ange light behind him.
i "Hullo, Crawley." said. Brooke. How

Paying Reverence to Lincoln.

All last week crowds packed . hall in Chicago
where an exhibit Of Lincoln relics was shown. A
Chicago newspaper chronicles that among the
crowds were many so-called hyphenated Ameri-
cans. They wore rough clothes, their hands were
stained with the CRIME and dirt Of the factory and
trench, but they paid reverence to Lincoln, the ex
ponent of freedom.
Prohibitions and misinformed Americans may
believe that because men are Of alien birth they
are not good citizens, but let their be an opportu
nifty for the display Of patriotism and the hyphen-
ated Americans not only are out in full force but
also are enthusiastic in their reverence for the
tons great men.
Aliens come to America because they want to
be free. They love free institutions and they are
proud that they have been admitted to the land
of the free and the brave. Many ill-advised ti-
rades have been directed against hyphenated
Americans. Their critics could learn important
lessons in citizenship from many Of these citizens
of alien parentage.

North Ninth Street Lights

3 The first ornamental lights in Richmond
were put in commission Saturday night with q
celebration on North Ninth street. Hundreds OF
persons saw the lights go on. They were forced
to admit that the block is distinct credit to the
city.
It is hoped that the example set by the BUSH
ness men and property owners on North Ninth
street will soon be followed by property owners
along the other business streets Of the city. Or
namental lights are good advertisement for the
city. They show that the city is alive and pro-
gressive.

He only stayed in England about six
months, during which time he visited
the tombs Of his parents and many
places, paid his Cambridge debts with
interest and renewed as many Of his
asquaintances as he could.
He went 20 Paris before starting off
on some prospecting expedition into
Uganda. It was in Paris. at this time.
that he first met Noel Crawley. and
the two young men then and there
struck up an extraordinarily close
friendship.
Crawley was at this time a strug-
Cling art student, pigging it in great
discomfort in the Quarter Latin, a
strange young man, utterly unlike an
artist in many ways, yet thoroughly
in love with his profession. and grim
ly, II rather hopelessly, determined to
wrench fame from the gods by his
pencil and brush. 5
He was three years younger than
Brooke, and the two men were about
as dissimilar as it is possible to i'm.
agine; but for the few weeks Brooke
was in Paris they were wellnigh in
separable.
Crawley had very little money OF his
own at that time save what he made
by his art, but he firmly refused
Brooke's offer to take him to Uganda,
pay all his expenses there and back,
show him the grandest scenery, and
give him the finest sport in Central
Africa. .
''If you offered to take me to Italy,
Crawley IL reported to have said, II
would have pocketed my pride and
gone like shot. But Africa mo
thank you"
Brooke went abroad shortly after
ward and was away for two or three
years. The two men correspondent
more or less regularly. and Crawley
observed that Brooke's name was Of.

sort of thing. When he came back to
England he was thoroughly Honized

REVIVAL AT BARLEY.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Will you please publish in your pa per the results of our 10 days revival meeting which was held at Barley school house by Rev. Henry Sullivan of Vilonia. It Closed Sunday night. There were 29 conversions, mostly grown people, from 61 years old on down. Among the number was a German family, husband wife and two daughters, who were formerly Catholics. Four persons were sancti- fled. Rev. Sullivan is a very jealous and forceful preacher, putting into his sermon the spirit of holy life. One remarkable feature of the meet ing was that there was only two per sons that came to the altar that did not get saved before they left the altar.

 BROS. CIRCUS.

It would not be circus without the funny old clowns. The first thing the small boy wants to know is have you got any clowns? Yes, Gollmar Bros America's Greatest Shows have not forgotten the joy for the little folks. They have clowns, all kinds of them and all funny ones too, and they have a lot of trained shetland ponies, little elephants and big ele- plants, lots of camels and two baby camels that won't have their first birthday dinner until next April. They have midgets and giants, bands of music, two caliopes, and numbers of th~ finest horses ever seen with any circus, the largest hippopotamus Tn captivity; trained wild animals galore. There are big aerial acts including the flying fishers, who twice daily shake dice with death and skim the border of eternity, and the worlds champion lady and gentleman bare back riders, COW girls and COW boys, rope spinners, bronco busters and everything you would expect to see in a really high class circus perform ance such as is given by Gollmar Bros Americas Greatest Shows in Conway on October 19. Remember, there are no fakirs, grafters or short change artists allowed with or around these strictly moral shows.
