away on the horizon rose a white, ad-
vancing mist. The rider rolled off his
staggering horse. "The food.'' he
gasped. Never before has there been
such a food"
Before the words were out of his
mouth there was a frenzied rattle of
hoofs and Gerry on True Blue tore
OF at a mad gallop down the trail
towards FaZenda Flores. Almost at
his heels followed the first mounted

A faint flush came Into Alan's
cheeks. 1t was flush of pride-pride
in Gerry. Gerry had not hesltated.
He had not ridden of like a Iaggard.
Even now they could see that he was
riding for llferlding with all his

tugged at her ankles. She looked up
toward the laundering wall of oncom-
ing water and knew that she was lost.
She stopped and fixed her eyes on
Gerry, who was plunging down the
slope in mad effort to reach her. She
called to him, but she knew he could
not hear her. With arms stretched to
their highest, SHE held up the Man. The
Man was not frightened. His black
eyes were fixed on his running father.
MargaFlta could feel him gurgllng with
joy In the new game Then suddenly
he cried out. 1t was a wall of fright.
The wall was cut short. Broken in
two, 1t rang terribly in her ears as
she went down.
The water had felIed Margarfta and
the Man. Gerry saw them flung down
the crest of the wave. They became
suddenly a twirIing, sodden mass, in
animate save for the fling OF loose
limb into clearer view against the blue
sky or the uncoiling OF long black hair
on the seething water.
Gerry reached the torrent. Marga-
rita and the Man had already been
whirled far towards the great river.
He plunged into the food. The water
was thick with earth. sticks, uprooted
plants and debris Ofsevery sort. Con-
hlcting. swirling currents tugged at
heavy stones, rolled them along and
sometimes even tossed one to the sur
face.
Gerry's struggling body was hurled
hither and thither. A stray current
shot him to the surface, but before lie
could take breath other currents
sucked him down and dragged him
along the rough surface OF the crum-

staggered he put spurs to him aud laid
on his qnlrt right and left.
The roar OF the river was SO loud

BRANDIES TO WIN ON CLOSE VOTE-ACTION
-OF PRESIDENT UPSETS REACTIONARIES

4NAA)1D = 80
Washington, Jan. 2o.-P~ closest
vote by which supreme court justice
ever has been approved, Louis D.
Brandeis will be confirmed as sue
cessor of Justice Lamar, according
to reliable indications today. Force
of surprise and opposition which at
first swept senate had very largely
subsidized, and many senators who at
first were non-committal or hostile
aresaying now they are open to con-
Viction.
Especially is this true among con-
sentative Democrats who have learn
ed that President Wilson is prepared
to make as aggressive fight as may
be necessary.
But long fight looms ahead, with
presidential aspirations, sectional
and racial feeling, senatorial tradi-
tons and party politics involved. 1t
is practically certain hearings will be
ordered by senate judiciary commit
tee, which meets Monday. If charges
Of personal unftness can not be
proved against Brandeis. Senator
Keews, presidential candidate, can be
expected to make fight on ground
that Brandeis is personally offensive
to him.
This fight President Wilson will

firmation or rejection of Brandeis,
President Wilson will compel that
body to test senatorial courtesy in

from first. Strongly for confrma-
ton of Brandeis is Senator LaFol-

Eastern editorial writers were
chasing themselves in circles COM
menting on the Brandies appoint

ciated by millions, irrespective of
party names or prejudices, who are

disinclined to believe that judges
must always be chosen from class
unsympathetic with economic bur-
dens and economic aspirations of the
people.
New York Press.-Not because he
is so-called radical, but for better
reasons, the nomination of Louis D.
Brandies to the supreme court of the
United States is shock to the Amer
lean people. To the members of the
supreme court itself it might well be
regarded as an insult.

come when the muckraker shall sit

TALKS ON THRIFT

From the time we are old enough to know right from wrong we are compelled to make decisions; to say "yes" to some things and mo- to others. In fact, all life consists in yielding to good impulses and resist ing the bad. No man ever succeeded unless he learned this lesson. We can never form character, acquire prop erty, gain knowledge, provide for old age, take care of those dependent upon us, or get a job worth while un- til we learn to make decisions. And the men who draw the big salaries are those who can pass judgment, and are willing to stand by the judgments they make.
 It is the easiest thing in the world to take the line of least resistance and to dc, the easy thing. If man would acquire an education he must forego pleasures for time. If he would get and keep a good job, he must deny himself indulgences that do not tend in the right direction. If he would save money he must make decision after decision and stick to them
 How many of us resolve that we will save money and make a good SldtI, uuC ldIl uOWH, because we VlelQ to the temptation to go to those places or in that company where our resist ing power will be weakened. Suppose we have spare night. If we stay at home we know that we won't spend any money. If we go to the theater we will spend a certain amount; but if we go to the club, or out with the crowd, we are not certain where we will go, or what we will do, and being with the crowd we must do as the crowd does. The result is bound to be a breaking down of the resolution to save.
 The habit of consistently saying "'no" can only be acquired when a man has an ambition, goal, and an in- centive. If he would own home. ac- quire business, get good job, be a man among men, and have a master passion, the impetus will be with him steadily to spur him on and help him make the many little decisions that bring the result he desires. The bread line is fuel of men who could not make decisions and stick to the:., who played with temptations of vari- ous kinds until they lost out; whose

Sure Way To Get
 Rid Of Dandruff

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it en- tirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruf will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruf you may have
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-06-14

declining years must be spent in do- ing the easy things because in other days they couldn't do the hard ones.
 You never will learn the secret of how men acquile money until you learn the fine art of making decisions; and if you do not learn this lesson for yourself, the world will decide for you, and the decision will doubtless be that you have no will power, are not strong in keeping promises to yourself and therefore cannot be expected to be strong in keeping those to others, and relegate you to the ranks of the "has- beens," or the "never-was," where you will drift along until the end. The saddest thing on the ocean is a drift ing ship, and the saddest thing in life is the man who is going nowhere, and cares not how long is takes him to get there.
