TO HOLD REGULAR
 MONTHLY PARDON DAYS

Little Rock, April 23-While he has not issued many pardons, Gov. C. II. Brough realizes there are times when pardons are necessary to meet the end of justice, and for that reason he has decided to hold regular monthly pardon days, just as was done by Gov. c. w. Donaghey. He will set aside the first Monday in each month to hear pardon petitions, and the entire day will be devoted to them if neces- sary. The hearing of a pardon peti- tion does not mean a pardon will be granted, however.

HOW Different SHIPS SINK
Nearly Every Glass or Design of Ves-
sci Has Particular Way of
Going Down.

Nearly every class or design of ves-
sci sinks in particular way, For In
stance, the old type of single-bottom
steamers. with few or no bulkheads-
that Is, in the modern sense of the
term-almost invariably founders on
more or less of an even keel, which
means that they sink level, and not
with their bow or stern up in the mir,
London Tit-Bits says.
This Is accounted for by the fact
that at whatever point the water may
enter, it practically finds 1t own level,
as there are no subdivisions to OBJ
struct 1t.
Now, in the case Of a modern ves-
sci, which Is built with numerous sub
divisions, it invariably happens that
she founders with her bow or stern high
out Of the water; or else she sinks
with heavy list, or cant, to one side
or the other. The reason for this is
which enters the vessel from finding
it's level; consequently, when one par
ticular portion of the ship is full of
water, while the remainder is prac-
tically watertight, that part which is
water laden sinks first, owing to it's
greater weight.
1t is for this reason that such terri

The style Of coiffure that is most
widely popular is shown in one Of its
several developments in the accom-
panyipg picture. 1t is modification
of the Bobby" style which Mrs. Ver-
non Castle is said to have originated,
and whether she created it or not, it
has been at least well demonstrated
and advertised by this famous dancer.
The Bobby" cOiffure is less becom-
ing when it is dressed with the hair
drawn back, leaving the forehead en-
tirely uncovered, than in the develop
ment of it shown in the picture. Here
the hair is loosely waved and brought
forward, so that it partly covers the
brow. At the sides it is pinned with
small, invisible pins, so that 1t will
lie on the cheek and cover the ears.
Where the forehead is left uncov-
cred, mere prettiness is sacrificed to
something little better. This ar
rangement Is more severe but i'm
mensely refining in it's effect on young,
round faces. 1t is not a coiffure for
faces that are not youthful, but trace
of it is found in those styles which

what happened at all. Instead, she
just went limp in his arms, and the
sObs that shook her seemed to be
meeting no resistance whatever.
At last she controlled, rather sudden
ly, her sobs, sat up, wiped her eyes,
and, after a fashion, smiled. Not at
him, though; resolutely away from
him, he might almost have thought
as if she didn't want him to see.
'"That's right" he said, craning
round to make sure that the smile
was there. "Have look at the funny
side of it,"
She WINGED at that as from a blow
and pulled herself away from him.
Then she controlled herself and, in
answer to his look of troubled amaze
lnent, sad: "It's all right. Only it
happens that you're the one who
d-doesn't know how awfully funny it
really is" Her voice shook, but she
got it in hand again. "No. I don't
mean anything by that. Here! Give
me a kiss and then let me wash my
face"
And for the whole evening, and
again next morning until he left the
house, she managed to keep him in the
only half-Questioning belief that moth
ing was the matter.

that her maid came into her bedroom,

CHAPTER VIII-Continued.

He saw her when she reached the
lower landing, and came to meet her.
"Oh!" he said. 81 thought you were
going to be off somewhere with Fred
erica this afternoon. It's been a great
day. I hope you haven't spent the
whole of it indoors. You're looking
great, anyway. Come here and give
me kiss"
She hesitated, a little perplexed.
Did he mean not to tell her-to
'spare" her, as he'd have said? The
kiss she gave him had different
quality from those that ordinarily con-
stituted her greetings, and the arms
that went round his neck didn't give
him their customary hug. But they
stayed there.
"You poor, dear old boy!" she said.
and then, Don't you care, Roddy!'
He returned the caress with inter-
est, before he seemed to realize the
different significance of it. Then he
pushed her away by the shoulders and
held her where he could look into her
face. what do you mean,' he asked.
'Don't care about What? 1t didn't
seem like bravado-like an acted out
pretense, and yet, of course, 1t must be.
Don't" she said. Because know.

From puzzled concern the look IN
his face took on deeper intensity.
'Tell me what it u.s." he said very
quietly. 81 don't know. didn't read
the paper this morning. Is it Harri-
et?" Harriet was his other sister
married, and not very happily, it was
beginning to appear, to an Italian
count.
A revolution "a sort of sick mis-
giving-took the color out of Roses
cheeks. "It isn't anyone" she said.
'It's nothing like that. Its-it's, that
case" Her lips stumbled over the
title of it. "It's been decided against
you Didn't you know?'
For a moment his expression was
simply the absence of all expression
whatever. "But how the dickens did
you know anything about it? How
did you happen to see it in the paper?
How did you know the title of it?'
81 was in the court the day you
argued it," she said unevenly. "And

the queer, ragged quality of his voice
drew her eyes back to his, so that
she saw, wonderingly, that they were
bright with tears. And you never
said a word, and you've been bother
ing your dear little head about it all
the time. Why, you darling"
He sat down on the edge of the
table, and pulled her up tight into
his arms again. She was glad to put
her head down-didn't want to look
at his face; she knew that there was
a smile there along with the tears.
"And you thought I was worrying
about it," he persisted, land that I'd
be unhappy because l was beaten?'
He patted her shoulder cOnsolingly
with a big hand. But that's all in
the days work, child. I'm beaten

chance.
"And yet" she leaned suddenly
forward, and the passion that had
been suppressed in her voice till now,
leaped up into f1ame-"and yet, can
you tell me what I could have done
differently? I've lived the kind Of life
they preach nbout-a life of noble

withered me up. Look at the differ

The only thing / could ever hate you

life as well as yours. I'm the branch

were talking this morning, because
you're too weak to hold it and haven't
pluck enough to fight for it :"
Look at me-" said Rose. The
words rang like command upon a
battlefield.
Portia looked. Roses blue eyes
were blazing. 81 won't do that" she
said very quietly. II promise you
that" Then the hard determination
in her face changed to something soft
er, and as if Portals resistance count
ed no more than that Of child, she
pulled her sister up in her arms and
held her tight. And so, at last, Portia
got the relief of tears.

After rather long period OF re-
tirement the lace jabot has returned
from the realm of forgotten tinery. 1t
made a quiet and almost unheralded
entry a few weeks ago and Immediate
ly achieved a decisive hit with thou
sands of devOteeS of uncovered throats.
Today it is the darling of fashion.
The "stock" jabot with high, stock
collar and falling flounce or cascade
of net-top lace, has reached the pin
nacle of success and brought all Of its
kindred into the limelight.
Not having worn jabots for so long,
we appreciate just how enchanting
they are, but are hardly prepared for
the extravagantly high prices that are
asked for even the simpler styles. From
two to five dollars Is demanded for
well-made jabots of fine net or good
net-top laces. The cheaper nets and
laces appear to lose their sheerness
and to thicken up with washing. When
this happens their charm is gone.
1t IS not the price of lace but the
price of labor that places jabots in
the class of expensive luxuries. Wom-

have been brought out for matrons.
In all of them the hair is waved, and
neatness above all else the effect to be
desired, but for older women the hair
is high. Few hair ornaments are wov-
en- in these more elaborate coiffures, but
very short, soft curls catch the eye
and please it-in nearly every one OF
them.
In coiffures that follow the style pic
tured, the average woman has enough
hair to make a success Of it without
any acquired locks. This may be one
of the reasons why the style is so
popular. Nearly all the hair is massed
at the sides and about the forehead,
while the ends are tucked under and
concealed in the most inconspicuous
way possible. The aim is to suggest
the bobbed hair cut worn by little chill
dren. The very latest arrival shows
this style with the forehead bare ex-
cept for a single little curled lock
pasted fiat to it, with bandoline, at the
center. This instantly brings to mind
that there was little girl who had
little curl" ETC., and perhaps it was
intended to do just this.

The Whole Ihinu.

Certain writer's keep deriding our
ignorance of Russia" said Professor
Pate. 81 have interviewed a number
of my fellow citizens, and find that
almost without exception they believe
themselves thoroughly posted. In the
school readers of their youth they
learned that the chief business of Rus
sian gentlemen has long been standing
up in wildly careering sledges, each
drawn by three horses abreast, and
pouring the whip to the steeds with
one hand, while flinging small children
to ravening wolves with the other.
Beyond that, according to the average
American, nothing much ever hap
pened in Russia until the country
went bone-dry and dethroned the czar.
If we do not know it all, we think we
do, which is fully as satisfactory to
the most of us."-Kansas City Star.

SeapIanes Fold Their Winos,

Owing to the large number of sea-
planes employed by the entente naval
forces in the present war, especially in
the waters of the near East, the Brit
ish and French aircraft designers
have developed a special type of by.
droplane provided with folding wings,
notes the Scientific American. This
feature results in q great saving Of
space on board a warship or special
mother ship when large number of
seaplanes are carried. The wings are
hinged to the fuselage so that they can
be swung back when the craft is to be
stored away, yet the seaplane can be
made ready and equipped for sustained
service in the space Of few minutes
by the aviator and his corps Of as
sistants.
