woman, she tempted me-. And aren't
you better off? DO you know that you
look fifty per cent better for these few
days Of living in the open--the way
every normal being likes to live2
You're getting some color in your
checks, and you're losing that worried,

and live off the country as your prirni.
tive forefathers did. OF course, you
can't do that alone. I know because
I've tried it. We humans don't differ
so greatly from the other animals.
We're made to hunt in couples or
packs. There's purpose, law you
might say, behind that, too; only it's

gels against him, would not seem to
countenalce or condone his 0ffense by
discussing it from any angle whatso-
ever. And she was more determined
to allow no degree Of friendliness, even
In conversation, because she recog-
nized the masterful quality of the
man.
After lapse Of time they dropped
into another valley, and faced west
ward TO mountain range which Bill
told her was the Rockies. The next
day snowstorm struck them. 1t was
not particularly cold. Bill wrapped
her in heavy canvas coat, and piod-
ded on. Noon passed, and he made
no stop. If anything, he increased his
pace.
Suddenly, In the late afternoon, they
stepped out of the timber into a little
clearing, in which the blurred outline
of a cabin showed under the wide arms
Of leafiess tree.
The melting snow had soaked
through the coat; her. feet were wet
with the clinging flakes. and the chill
Of q lowering temperature had set Hat-
gel shiyering.
Roaring Bill halted at the door and
lifted her down from Silks back With
out the formality Of asking her leave.
he pulled the latchstring, and led her
in. Beside the. rude stone fireplace
wood and kindling were piled In readI-
ness for use. Bill kicked the door
smut, dropped on his knees and started
the fire. In FIVE minutes great blaze
leaped and cracked into the wide
throat of the chimney. Then he piled
on more wood, and turned to her.
"rhis is the house that Jack built"
he said, with sober face and
twinkle in his gray eyes. "This is the
man that lives in the house that Jack
built. And this"--he pointed mis-
chievously at her-"is the woman
who's going to love the man that lives
in the house that Jack built"
THAT'S liel" she flashed stormily
through her chattering teeth.
We'll, we'll see," he answered cheer
fully. "Get up here close to the fire
and take off those wet things while
put away the horses
And with that he went out whistling.

CHAPTER vi.
A Little Personal History.

Hazel discarded the wet coat, and,
drawing chair up to the fire. took
Off her sopping .footgear and toasted
her bare feet at the blaze. Her cloth
Ing was also wet. and she wondered
pettishly how in the world she was
going to manage with only the gar
ments on her back-and those dirty
and torn from hacking through the
brush for matter Of two weeks. NAc-
cording to her standards, that was
roughing 1t with vengeance. But
presently she gave over thinking Of her
plight. The fire warmed her, and, witt.
the chill gone from her body, she be-
slowed curious glance on her sur
roundings.
There was furniture of sort uns
known to her, tables and chairs fashf
toned by hand with infinite labor and
rude skill. massive in structure. uphol-
stored with the skins of wild beasts
common to theregion. Upon the walls
hung pictures dainty black.and-whtte
prints, and a water color or two. <And
between the pictures were nailed heads
OF mountain sheep and goat, the ant
lers Of deer and caribou. Above the
figenlaee spread the huge shovel horns
OF Il moose, bearing across the pr6zfgS
a shotgun and fishing rods. The cenfaf
OF the floor--itself, as she could see.
of hand-smoothed logs-was lightened
with great black and red and yellow
rug of curious weave. Covering up
the bare surface surrounding 1t were
bearskins, black and brown. Her feet
rested in the fur Of monster silver
tip. fur thicker and softer than the
pile Of any carpet ever fabricated BY
man. All around the walls ran shelves
filed with books. A guitar stood In
one corner. a mandolin in another.
Except for the dust that had gath
cred lightly in its owners absence, the
place was as neat and clean us k the
housemaid had but gone over 1t. Hazel
shrugged her shoulders. Roaring Bin
Wagstaff became, If anything, more OF
an enigma than ever, In the light Of his
dwelling. She recollected that Carib0o
iseadows had regarded him askance,
and wondered why.
He came in while her gaze was still
rowing from one object to another. and
| threw his wet outer clothing, boy
| fashion. on the nearest chair.
"Well,n he said. ''we're here"
| ''Please don't forget, Mr.. Wagstaff,p
she replied coldly, that would much
| prefer not to be here"
| He stood moment regarding her
with his odd smile. Then he went into
the adjoining room. Out of this he
| presently emerged, dragging small
steamer trunk. He opened 1t, got down
on his knees, and paved over the con-
tents. Hazel, looking over her Shout
der, saw that the trunk was filed with
woman's garments, and sat amazed.

FORT COMES BACK
 ID HANDLE FLOUR
 SHIPMENTS HERE
Food Administration Man Assigned to Look After
 Shipment of Flour.

Franklin w. Fort will arrive in Pine Bluff Thursday to take charge of the shipping of the flour supply of the county to Washington, in accordance with the action recently taken by the county council of defense. MT. Fort, who is one of the big men of the Washington food administration, was present at the meeting of the council that decided on offering the govern ment the county's flour supply and previous to that had made an address at the tabernacle on the seriousness of the situation.
 County Food Administrator M. c. Hollis expresses great satisfaction over the assignment of MT. Fort to Jefferson county. He says that the ac- tion shows how important the conn- cil's action is in the eyes of the admin istration at Washington, as MT. Fort is too big man to be sent to handle mere piece of routine work.

FORMER PINE BLUFF
 MEN MEET IN FRANCE
J. Carroll Cone Celebrates by Tax. ing C. E. Smith for AerOplane
 Trip in Clouds.

Two former Pine Bluff men, both now in the service of the nation, re- gently ran across each other "some- where in France" and in celebration made an airplane trip together. The men were J. Carroll Cone. U. $. Aviation service, and C. D. Smith, U. s. Engineers. The incident is relat- ed by Mr. Cone in letter to the Pine Bluff lodge of Elks, written on March 20 The letter, read at the meeting last night by Secretary Mack Hunter follows:
 'I met 'Smitty' e. D. Smith) here the other day. quite unexpectedly, and was so overjoyed in at least meeting an Arkansas boy, and es- pecially one from Pine Bluff that immediately enveigled him in to an aeroplane and carried him up among the. clouds, and proceeded to do all the aerial acrobacy I knew. He said he enjoyed the ride. but he was cer- tainly pretty white around the 'gills' when we finally got back to the groud. I haven't seen him anywhere near the field since that day. be- lieve he is working in headquarters now.
 "I have been instructing here for quite a while. but will soon be leav- ing for the front. My work at pres ent consists of trying out pilots in the air to determine whether or not they are fit to continue their train- ing as bird men.

Early Day Buttons.

The ancients lacked buttons-one wonders, indeed. how they got along without them-but evidently they pos. sessed studs of modern pattern, such as those with which we fasten our cuffs and collars. And, in truth, they did even have kind of button (though not sewn on), which fastened garments with a pin and hook exactly in the way our brooches and clasp pins oper- ate.-Exchange.

Pet Animals Sold for Charity.

In these days, when nearly every body in Britain is giving up sonething to the cause of the war, pet animals have played prominent part as a form of war charity. People have giv- en their dogs and cats to charitable institutions to be auctioned off to raise money for wounded soldiers. So many lnsalable pets have been offered aS D make them a burden to the animal protection societies. At recent sale many of the cats and dogs were so old. decrepit and dirty that no bids could be obtained for them, that they were handed over to the societies to be put to death by gas.
