IL was nine when Miss Leland returned
and didn't speak to her until she and.
her party had eaten hasty supper. Then
| approached her, ignoring Dane, and
asked her for moment.
| told her of my visit to the fortune
teller, and his promise to tell her of the
reason for my boys bad ride of yesterday,
and explained the chain of reasoning
that led to the visit. She was bewil-
dered by it all, but too tired to talk much.
"You should have been detective,
Mr.. Kernan,' she said. @But-Ill 90 out

Yancey let us in; this time attired in a
frock-coat and patent leather shoes. His
hall was rather dark, and if he recognized
Miss Leland he said nothing beyond an
impressively delivered good morning
and an invitation to step into the parlor.
Yancey followed us in and shut the door.
He peered at the girl.

Then he walked to the window, lifted

flood of sunshine that poured in.

JUDGE PHlLPOT
ANNOUNCES FOR
MAYOR OF P.B.
Former County Judge Yields
to Urgent Requests, and
Enters Contest.

Former County Judge c. NJ. Philpot
yesterday announced he had yielded
to tho opportunities Of friends, and
had decided to bedpme candidate for
the Democratic nomination for mayor
Of Pine Bluff.
Than Mason Philpot there is hardly
q man more familiar with conditions
in Pine Bluff, better abe to cope with
them, or more solicitous of the better
mert--morally, commercially and
socially, say the friends Of the former
county Judge. And these friends also
point out that Judge Plilpot's expert
ence in municipal and county offices
makes him exceptionally we'll quail
fled to discharge with honor to him
self AMI satisfaction to the people of
Pine Bluff the duties that would fall
upon him as mayor
A keen business man. who has
proved his ability by making success
of his own affairs, Judge Philpot's
record as county judge is cited to indi-
cate what might be expected Of him
as mayor. He was eounty judge six
years, during which time he made
more permanent bridge and ROAD inn
provements than any other county
Judge, his policy being to construct
steel and concrete bridges wherever
possible, with the result that the cost
Of bridge repairs was reduced to d
minimum. He was a constant advo-
cate of good roads, and to him is due
large share OF the credit for the
miles OF goci pixies enjoyed by the
people Of pine Bluff and Jefferson
county.
Although progressive man. Judge
Philpot was conservative and eco
nomical in handling thy peoples
money. and he displayed his ability
as financier by leaving the treasury
in better condition than he found it,
ard with county warrants more valu.
able than when he took office. His
management of the $16,00OOO0 county
organization proves, his friends say,
he would make an efficient manager
of the $S,000,000 municipal dorpora-
ton.
Judge Pliilpot announces that he
would enforce the laws, and none Is
better equipped to do so. He served
as police chief for several years, and
Si.SA IWO tcluS DIS CoHStdUle OF Vau-
CINE township, going from this posi-
ton into the sheriff's office as
deputy. He made good" again, and
was promoted by the people to be
sheriff and tax collector, which post
ton he filled until elected l,ounty
Judge.
His public record and private life
stomp him as man who can and will,
and as erninently fitted to serve as
mayor Of Pine Bluff, declare support.
