leaped up and out of some hiding-hole
to lead the horse, as the gray shape
glimmered towards him.
Soon the bulk of a house doomed
blacker mass against the blackness OF
the sky. A half-Open door let a flood
| Of yellow light flow out into q stone
paved courtyard; and huddled In the
doorway Race could see several fig
ures looking out.
The mai who had guided the leader
came towards the cart, asking a ques'
ton as he approached, but he spoke nc
language which Christopher Race had
| ever heard before. When no answer
followed he sprang forward to look
into the cart.
What he saw was Christopher, sit.
ting - his revolver cooked and
aimed. With a oar of rage he risked
death and leaped at the stranger as a
tiger leaps, and-Christopher did not
fire.
In an instant the courtyard was
echOing with cries and footballs. Baria,
fearless and excited, had dashed out
of the car and run forward at the
sound of the first cry, waving a re-
vOlver. But he could not fire, for three
tall men had torn Christopher Race
out of the cart and wrenched his weap-
On away. Then, suddenly. someone
seized his arms from behind and
snatched his revolver as he discharged
it inadvertently In the air; and at the
SAME moment a wOman's voice
shrieked in Italian: "An automobile
an automobile"
Baria and Christopher were dragged
towards the house, unarmed o and
well-nigh helpless. in the grasp of four
or five strong men.
Some inner door opened. and for an
instant a tall and magnificent old man,
with long white hair falling on the
collar Of a curicusly-fashioned brown
coat. appeared On the threshold.
"Whatever happens, don't let him
tie seen" cried one of the men quickly
In italian. At this the woman ran
ahead into the house, pushing the tall
old man with her hands on his breast,
then shutting the door he had opened.

NEWSPAPERS HARD
HIT BY The WAR
Twenty-Seven Have Suspended
in Arkansas During Past
Ninety Days

The newspapers have been
hard hit by the war. During
the last ninety days twenty-sev-
en- Arkansas newspapers have
been suspended for the period
Of the war, and according tG
orders from Washington no
new paper can be established
until after the war.
Not only have paper and ink
more than doubled in price and
labor become so scarce in many
instances none can be f6nnd,
but the government has found it
necessary as a conservative
measure to issue strict regula-
tions for the management of
newspapers. But the newspap-
ers are not complaining, net
even at the increased rates un-
der the Zoning system Of the
postal department. Everybody
is bearing burdens during the
war, and doing so willingly. so
that the newspaper mans 1t
is not worse than that of many
others.
To be sure, the newspapers
are recognized by all depart
ments of the government as an
indispensable agency 0 r
spreading the gospel of civilian
war activity. Without the in
fluence of the newspapers the
morale of the public would be
reduced to chaos. 1t is the
newspapers that have made
possible the successes of the
Liberty Loans, the Red Cross
campaigns, the selective draft,
the Food and Fuel Administra-
lions and the many other
things upon which the success
of the allied cause depends.
The newspapers of Arkan-
sas yield to none in their loyal
| ty and devotion to the flag,
and obedience to all regula-
tons that may be prescribed,
but had they been making the
regulations would have sug-
gested a few changes that
would make compliance less
Ionerous. The day of the dol
lar weekly is fast passing.
Many of them have increased
their rates to $3.50 and some of
them have gone up to So a
year. It is not alone the coun-
try weekly that has it's troubles
but the big city daily comes in
for its share. Increased cost
of everything is making the
business harder, and the labor
conditions are becoming very
serious problem. Reporters
and editors. printers and press
men, have gone or are going to
war, and more women are
being employed in the various
branches of the art preserva-
tive than ever before.
