81 can't talk and drive a speed

twisting the gray car into the road she
had indicated, and he made the asser-
ton good by covering the four remain
Ing miles in the same p~reoccupied
fashion.
There was q reason, Of q sort, for
his silence; two Of them, to be exact.
For one, he was troubled by that
haunting sense Of familiarity which
vas still trying to tell him that this
was not his first meeting with Colonel
Baldwin's daughter; and the other,
much bigger and more depressing, was
the realization that In breaking with
his past, he had broken also with the
world Of women, Mt least to the extent
Of wei asking n Of them to marry
him.
He pushed the thought aside, COM
ing back to the other one-the puzzle
Of familiarity - when Miss Baldwin
pointed to a transplanted Missouri
farm mansion, with a columned por-
tico, standing In a grove Of cotton
woods on the left-hand side Of the
road, telling him 1t was Hillcrest.
There was q massive stone portal
fronting the road, and when he got
down to open the gates the young
woman took the wheel and drove
| through; whereupon he decided that
It was time for him to break away,
and said so.
"But how will you get back to the
campT" she asked.
II have my two legs yet, and the
walking isn't bad"
"No; but you might meet those
two men again."
"That is the least Of my troubles"
Miss Corona Baldwin, like the Mis-
souri, colonel, her father, came upon
moments now and then when she had
the ultimate courage Of her impulses
II should have said you hadn't q
trouble in the world" she asserted
meeting his gaze level-eyed.
The polite paraphrases Of the cot
fined period were slipping to the end
Of his tongue, but he set his teeth upon
them and said, instead: "That's al
you know about It. What II I should
tell you that you've been driving this
morning with an escaped convfctf"
II shouldn't believe It," she sale
calmly.
"Well you haven't-not quite" HI
returned. adding the qualifying phras'
In sheer honesty.
She had united her veil and wal
asking him Hospitality II he wouldn'
come in and meet her mother. Some
thing in the way she said 1t, some littl'
twist Of the lips or look Of the eyes
touched the spring Of complete recog
milton, and the familiarity puzzle van
ished instantly.
"You forget that I am a working
man." he smiled. my gang In TIL
quarry will think I've found a bottl,
somewhere" And then did you eve
lose a glove. Miss Baldwin, whit

"and most Of them had holes, In

SUFFRAGE NOTES.

Arkansas First Southern state.

At big suffrage mass meeting
March 6. Governor Brough, OF Arkan-
sas. signed the bill which gives the
women Of that state the right to vote

il practically equivalent TO an cleo

suffrage for women. For chival rv

its women may not be more intelli-

certainly excel in honoring and trust
ing womanhood. Arkansas women are
now on a par with women OF Califor-

=. Ontario steps Forward.


Ontario Steps Forward.
In calling the roster of suffrage
provinces in Canada, five sections now
proudly answer, Here They are
British Columbia. Alberta. Saskatche-
wan. Manitoba and recently Ontario.
This makes nearly the entire Canadian
boundary of the United States equally
free for men and women, save the
province of Quebec. 1t is more than
coincidence. however, that on the
other side OF the boundary line the
United States keeps pace in giving
votes to women. With the exception
Of Minnesota and a portion of New
York. all the northern line of the
United States is women suffrage terri
tory. Perhaps this contiguous spirit
of freedom emphasizes the force of
good example and the irrepressible
tendency to evolution in politics. quite
as much as the irresistible spread of
votes for women irrespective of
monarchiaI or republican forms Of
government.

In the circuit court yesterday a suit was filed by Josephine Winfred Jen- kins, Alma Jenkins. John BrunsOn Jenkins, and Edith Jenkins. by their next friend, Mrs. Josephine R. Mar tin, M. P.

Deaf Mute Insti- tute of Arkansas, the Catholic Orphan Asylum and John B. Morris.
 Tho complaint alleges that the late Philip c. Jenkins was of unsound minld when he made the will filed January 10, 1916 and that he was also under the influence of Johnnie Will Hams Jenkins when the will was made. The court is asked to pass on the validity of the document that it may be set aside.
 Tho complaint also alleges that the defendant. Johnnie Williams Jenkins, cOnspired with defendant, T. $. Brad bury, to tako the life of the deceased, and through his conspiracy deceased did lose his life. Beacuse of the death of Phillip 6. Jenkins. thus ac- complished. plaintiffs claim that they, as his natural heirs, were cut off from bounties that they were in the habit of receiving and. in conse- Quence, they ask for damages to the amount of $35.000.
 It is alleged too. t,at the deceased was business man and his untimely death was distinct damage to the estate. therefore a further sum of $25,0o0 is asked by way of damages to the estate. A still further sum of $10,000 is asked for the mental an guish caused plaintiffs.
 The suit recalls the sensational death of Phillip G. Jenkins at his home near Sherrill on the night of December 26, 1915, and the subse- qaent trials of T. s. Bradbury, on the charge of murder, the trials in each case resulting in hung jury, and inc case being nolle pressed.
 $t is understood that Bradbury has enlisted and is now a member of the National guard. The state left by Jenkins is valued at about $1O0.0O0.
