up the subject of Meade's whereabouts
of his own motion. Although the girl
tiOns she had wit and resolution
enough to change the subject when it
had been first broached and for many
times thereafter.
Helen nlingworth was fighting for
the reputation Of the man she loved
and for her own happiness, and she
was resolved to neglect no point in the
game. She partoOk in large measure
of her fathers capacity, but she add
ed to his somewhat blunt and mill
tary way of doing things the infinite
tact of woman, stimulated by a grow
ing, overwhelming devotion to her alb
sent lover. She cherished that feeling
for him in any event and would have
done so but the whole situation was so
charged with mystery and surcharged
with romance that it made the most
powerful and stimulating appeal to
her.
She lived to vindicate Meade and
she bent every effort toward that end.
She did not overdo it, either. Final
ly, as he himself continued to press
| the subject upon her, she made no Sc
cret to Shurtliff of her devotion to the
younger Meade, her sorrow that he had
made such a declaration, and her de-
| termination to wait for him. She was
always careful to end every conversa-
ton by saying that she knew her out
look was perfectly hopeless and that
she could expect nothing except sor-
row until the younger Meade was re-
habilitated. She so contrived matters,
while constantly affirming her feeling
for Meade, as to let Shurtliff infer
that she was convinced that he had
been telling the truth in what he had
said.
After time she deftly appealed to
him to know if he could not help her
discover the truth she tactfully main
tanned even in face Of the evidence that
Shurtliff had given. And she did this
in such an adroit way that Shurtlitf
became convinced that she did not con-
meet him with any willful deception,
and that she believed that he was de-
luded himself and occupied the posi-
tiOn of an innocent abettOr. And Shurt-
| lift, in his strange, old, self-contained
way, finally grew to like Helen Hing
worth exceedingly. Indeed he started
in his work with natural antagonism
to Colonel nlingworth, and when he
sensed, as he very soon did, the diff
ference that had arisen between father
and daughter, he espoused the cause of
the latter. He was the kind of man
who had to devote himself to some
body. He began to wonder if there
was any way to secure the girls hap
piness without betraying the elder
Meade.
She compassed the secretary, who
was, of course, old enough to be her
father, with sweet ObServances and he
found it increasingly hard to keep true
able of fascinating bigger personalities
than Shurtliff, although she cared lit
tie for that power and rarely exercised
it. The old man actually got to think
ing of her as a daughter. Sometimes
when they had an hour together he
found himself seconding her arguments
for the innocence of the younger
Meade, for she had progressed that far
by now, with little details which his
knowledge and experience of the two

ROANE RETIRES FROM
 LOCAL INSURANCE FIRM
Q. P. keadle Purchases Interest, and
 Will Have Charge While Roberts Is In Army.

/, o. P. Keadle, who has been con- .nected with the Arkansas Mill Supply company, as bookkeeper, has purchas- ed the interest of Frank M. Roane in the Roane & Roberts insurance agen- cy. The firm name has been chang ed to Roberts, Keadle company, and will be operated in the same quarters, with Mir. Keadle in charge, while MT. Roberts is serv- ing his country as commander of the Pine Bluff Motor Truck company.
 In formally announcing his retire ment from the firm in this issue of The Graphic, MT. Roane speaks high 'ly of the members of the firm from which he withdraws, and makes the point that Pine Bluff people might show their appreciation of MT. Rob- erts' patriotic action in volunteering for service in the war by leaving your business" with the firm, and ex- pressing the confidence that it will re- ceiye careful attention"
 MT. Roane, in discussing his own plans, stated that he proposes to do some farming during the comnig year. He owns a 5OO-acre place on the Star Citv pike. about 12 miles south Of town. and thinks he can show the folks in those parts how to raise cot ton. Cotton at current prices is very attractive proposition and Is tempting a good many citizens to cul- tivate it.

Presence of Soldiers Inspir- ed MT. Stephens, Who
 Was At His Best.
SONG SERVICE WAS
 MOST INSPIRING
Reyiyalist Spoke of the Ten Com mandmentS. Declaring Every One Is Violated, and the Penalty In
 Every Instance Must Be Paid.

Sunday night was the great night thus far in the Stephens tabernacle campaign. Pine Bluff Motor Truck company No. 10, attended the service in body. the boys presenting a mag nificent appearance as they marched with heads erect, and sGuareshoul- dered, to their seats in front of the platform.
 It was the eve of their departure from home, in answer to the call of their country, and they sat "eyes front" fine, clean young men, giving the revivalist their whole attention. Their presence, and the thought that these splendid young men were pre- pairing to leave for the greatest and most murderous war in the history of the world, impressed every one, and inspired the revivalist, who was at his best. The big building was packed and not one seat was vacant. At least thousand stood around the edges of the tabernacle. The song service was most inspiring, and all the musicians, of the party, Storrs, Roper, James and Mrs. Powell show ed their ability to do the part Of the work to which they have been called. Mir. Stephens spoke on "The Ten l Commandments" and those who were ] there are unanimous in saying this was the greatest sermon of the ser vices thus far.
 He declared that every one has a have and worship is God. He spoke of the violations of every one of the | Commandments in the Decalogue and the penalty for every violation must be paid.
 1 He presented the violations of the Sabbath in a new way, saying that many business men violate this day He said if he had seven dollars. and met a beggar to whom he gave six of the seven dollars, and the man should slip into his room after he ] retired and stole the seventh, il would be most despicable and l damnable theft. "Oh men, why cant you be satisfied with the six days in the week for business and not steal the seventh from the Lord?" he ask ed.
 The magnificent crowd and the splendid attention given shows that this meeting is getting a hold upon Pine Bluff. All the members of the party are well liked and the people are showing them the greatest court csy.
 One of the splendid features of the Sunday night service was the sing ing of the Glory Song by the group Of colored men and women present James, cornet work and Mrs. Powells solo work coupled with Prof. Roper's playing make fine prelude to the sermon.
 There was no service last night at the tabernacle except the rehearsal by the big choir under the direction of MT. Storrs. This morning at s:3o | Mrs Powell and Miss Byrnes will conduct a ten-minute service in the Schober-Martin store. At 9:30 there will be union prayer meeting at the tabernacle annex and MT. Steph- ems will lead
