SAVE YOUR OLD SHOES.

There are many families in Paw
Paw who have shoes laid away. Gen.
tlemen's, ladies' and children's, that
will never be used again. They will
be thrown away or burned up. Don't
destroy them, as there are many needy
families that would be glad to get
them. Frank Cole desires to say
through the columns of this paper,
that if these shoes will be brought to
him at Hodges harness and shoe store,
that he will fix them up and see that
some needy family gets them. Here
is an opportunity to be of service to
some poor and needy family.

Texarkana Host to Editors TUin City of 7tuo Sfates-Cenfer of Wealth

"Texarkana is the gateway to the Golden West but 1t is my belief it al so is the very center and heart of a section of golden opportunities, re- marked one of the editors at the for ty-fourth annual convention Of the Ar kansas Press Association in that city the early part of this week, and this belief seemed to prevail generally among the editors, their wives and their guests, who were gwen an op- portunity to judge for themselves as to the exceptional opportunities which are found in the Twin Cities.

Z CHAPTER w ] z Sands of Pactolus

If Victor Brouiilard had been dis possibilities suggested by MT. J. Wes- ley Cartwright on the occasion of the capitalists brief visit to the Niquoia, there was little leisure for it. Fairly confronting his problem, Brouillard did not find himself hampered by de- partmental inertia. While he was rap idly organizing his force for the con structive attack. the equipment and preliminary material for the upbuild- ing of the great dam were piling up by the trainload on the sidetracks at Ouesado, and at once the man and beast kilEng task of rushing the exca- vating outfit Of machinery, teams. scrapers, rock-drilling installations, steam shovels, and the like, over the War Arrow trail was begun.
 During the weeks which followed, the same trail, and little later that from the Navajo reservation on the south, were strung with antlike pro- sessions of laborers pouring into the shut-in valley at the foot of Mount Chigringo Almost as if by magic populous camp of tents, shelter shaeks and Indian tepees sprang up in the level bed bottom of the future lake; campfires gave place to mess kitch- ems: the commissary became busy department store stocked with every thing that thrifty or thriftless labor might wish to purchase; and daily the great foundation scorings in the but tressing shoulders of Jacks mountain and Chigringo grew deeper and wider under the churning On the air-drills, the crashings of the dynamite and the rattle and chug of the steam shovels.

MT. Bfoulllard. Will you come down and see us off"
 At the final descent in the trail, with the Buckskin blanknesses showing botly beyond the curtaining pines, they passed at step from romance to the crude realities.
 The realities were passing themselves upon the advent of two newcomers. riding down the Chigringo trail to the ford which had been the scene of the fish slaughtering: sunburnt young man in goatskin chaps flannel shirt and a Tapping Stetson, and girl whose face reminded Brouillard of one Of the Madonnas, whose name and painter he strove vaiilly to recall Ten seconds farther along the horses of the pair were sniffing suspiciously at the automobile, and the young man under the Tapping hat was telling Van Bruce Cartwright what he thought of cartridge fishermen in general. and of this present cartridge fisherman in particular
 Which the. same, being translated into Buekskin English, hoiers like this," he concluded Don't you tote any mere fish ca tridges into this here reservation; not no more. whatsoever. Who says so? Well, if anybody should ask, you might say it was Tig Smith. foreman O the Tri.Circ' outfit No, ain't no game warden, but what l say goes as she lays. Savez?"
 Brouillard walked his companion down to the car and helped her to a seat in the tonneau. She repaid him with nod and smile, and when he saw that the crudities were not troubling her he stepped aside and un- consciously fell to comparing the two the girl on horseback and his walk ing mate of the canyon passage.
 They had little enough in common, apart from their descent from Eve. he decided-and the decision itself was subconseious. The millionaire's daugh- ter was warm blonde, beautiful queenly, finished product of civiliza- tion and high-priced culture; a wom- an of the world. And the girl on horse back? A rather slight figure, a face
  winsome, masses of eopper-brown hair, eyes He caught himself won- dering if her cowboy iover-he had already jumped to the sentimental ccnclusion--had ever been able to look into those steadfast eyes and trifle with the truth
 When the fish-slaughtering matter was finally settled-not by the tender of money that MT. Cartwright had made-the man Smith and his pretty riding mate galloped through the ford and disappeared among the barren hills.
 'Au revoir. MT. Brouillard," said the princess, as the big car righted itself fer the southward flight into the des- ert. If were you I shouldn't fall in love with the calm-eyed goddess who rides like a man. MT. Tri'-Circ' Smith might object, you know"
 There was something almost heart warming in the bit of parting badi- mage; but the warmth might have given place to disconcerting chill if he could have heard Mir J. Wesley Cortwrights remark to his seat com panion.
 "He isn't going to be the dead easy mark l hoped to find in the son If the old bankrupt hair-splitter, Genie, girl. But he'll come down and hook himself all right if the bait is we'll covered with his particular brand of Sugar. Don't you forget it."

It was after the huge task 0f foun- dation digging was well under way and the work of constructing the small power dam in the upper canyon had been begun that the young chief of construction, busy with a thousand details, had his first forcible reminder of the continued existence of MT. J Wesley Cartwright.
 It came iii the form of communi- cation from Washington, forwarded by special post-rider service from Que sado, and 1t called halt upon the up- river power project. In accordance with it's settled policy. the reclamation service would refrain, in the Niquoia as elsewhere, from entering into com petition with private citizens; would do nothing to discourage the invest ment of private capital A company had been formed to take over the power production and to establish plant for the manufacture of cement and Brouillard was instructed to gov ern himself accordingly. For his in- formation; the department letter writer went on to say it was to be understood that the company was duly organized under the provisions of an act of congress; that it had bound itself to furnish power and material at prices satisfactory to the service; and that the relations between it and the government feld-staff on the ground were to be entirely friendly.
 Its a graft.-a pull-doWn with profit in it for some bunch of money leeches a little higher up," was the young chiefs angry comment when he had given Grislow the letter to read Without knowing any more of the details than that letter gives, I'd be willing to bet months pay that this is the fine Italian hand Of Mir. J. Wes- ley Cartwright"
 GrisloW's eyebrows went up in doubtful interrogation.
 Ought I to know the gentleman" he queried mildly. q don't seem to recall the name"
 No you don't know him. It was his motor party that was camping at tut buChohiil LII IISHl Wt Dtohe in here-the night when we saw the searchlight"
 And you met him? I thought you told me you merely went down and took look-didn't butt in?"
 T didn't-that night. But tho next morning they wanted to see the val ley, and I showed them the way in Cartwright is the multimillionaire pork packer of Chicago, and he went up into the air like a lunatic over the meneymaking chances there were to be in this job.

was one discussion in which the in
nocent bystander had no part. He
learned, however, that shrapnel from
an "Archie" jumps at you with a
bang; that it looks like a white
puff as it breaks in daylight and
like the starry shower of rocket as
it explodes by night.
