A letter was received in this city
telling OF the death of Lieut.. Frank
Hill. whose bddy was brought here
from New Orleans. The letter was
written by Lieut.. ]. Walker Eaton,
who was ABOARD the ship on which
Frank died. and was received by Miss
Emily B. Hill.
1t reads in full:
U. S. S. Ozark.
My Dear Miss Hill;
At the request OF the commanding
officer | am writing to give you IN
formation concerning the last sick
ness of your brother Frank and his
death.
For the past year have been
Franks closest associate and aside
from the assignment Of the captain
to write ftr him, feel It my duty to
give any information that | can to
comfort those who were dear to my
close friend. You will therefore under
stand my writing in personal view.
A short time before Franks sick
ness he received his promotion TO en-
sign and to lieutenant. letters from
the secretary Of the navy, confirming
which appointment | enclose.
Frank seemed very happy with the
arrival Of his long delayed promotion
and looked forward to a transfer in
the near future to take charge of the
supply department Of some other ship
and TO visit home
Franks sickness was Of just a
weeks duration He first contracted
the influenza and afterwards develop
ed pneumonia
From the very first everything was
done to accomplish his recovery as
well as to make him comfortable in
his sickness. | visited him and chat
ted with him frequently and he was
quite cheerful, even the day before
he died he seemed cheerful in spite
OF the fact that he realized that it
was his last sickness even tho the
rest of us expected his fine constitu-
ton to pull him through.
The last day he seemed to feel
better and said little or nothing about
recovering He was conscious almost
to the end and recognized and talked
with me half an hour before he died.
remained at his bedside constantly
during the last couple of hours before
the end.
The surgeon and a couple of hos
pital apprentices administered oxygen
repeatedly and resorted to every
known means of keeping the spark
OF life still burning He did not seem
to suffer at all, Just breathed rapidly
and did not complain of any distress.
The only remark which would indi.
cate actual distress was made a short
while before death came, when he
said This is working pretty hard for
the little air can get into my lungs
At LII p. m. on the 10th he passed
peacefully away.
Assuring you Of my deep sympathy
with you all in your bereavement,
am,
Very sincerely yours.

And then it was plain as the man
leaned further out. His gaze was
downward upon the lighted window
in the club.
The girls shadow was gone. AS it
passed from sight the man, leaning
from the dormer-window, raised his
hand. The next second a pebble, or
some such small object, struck the

was marked by shadow the girl
again.
Up went the curtain, the window
was raised, and now Kingsbury was
answered; il was Marjory Holcomb.
His eyes turned to the man, and
with a cry of wild alarm he sprang for
the fence.
The fellows hand had gone up,
there was binding flash, and squirt
of flame cut the darkness between the
two buildings.

CHAPTER X.
In i,e Cottage.

One leap and Kingsbury was against
the door of the little cottage, Shout
ders down, and the full force of his
strength and weight thrown into the
plunge.
The door gave, snapped. A second
drive sent it inward. and Tom was
flung into the narrow hall and against
the newell post
The force OF the fall left him mo-
mentarily stunned, and then he was on
his feet to see little, old woman,
lamp in hand. peering out of door at
the far end of the hall.
What in the name of the saints
above
But that was all Tom caught OF the
woman's startled exclamation. He
was on his feet and going up the stairs
three steps at time.
He landed in the upper hall, shot a
look about---there was just one oil
lamp lighting the narrow space--and
started pell-mell toward the front of
the house.
Another flight of stairs went on up
toward the attic and Tom swung for
ii with rush.
AS he cleared the first two steps the
door at the foot flew open and a man
sprang forth. The little, old Irish,
woman had already sent up an UNI
earthly shrek and her shrill voice
arose in wild alarm.
The fellow who had sprung into the
hall made dive for klngSbury,
missed his leg, and came after him.
Halfway up the stairs his hand
went out again, caught Toms foot,
and down they both went, one on top
of the other to the foot of the stairs.
Tom was the first up. He struck
out as the fellow struggled to his
knees and tried to trip him again, and
then. thinking only Of the man who
had fired he sprang for the stairs
once more,
Halfway up, and it was dark ahead,

Next second Kingsbury braced him

down upon him.
They met and swayed for a second
Tom was forced to throw out his hand
TO grasp the stair rail and save him
self from being carried down the steep
stairs.
In that second Kingsbury's face was
close to the scowling. angry features
of his adversary. The man uttered an
oath and tried to get his hand free.
Tom let so his hold, slipped down a
step, and struck at the hand which
came up.

U s. FOOD ADMINISTRATION DE CLIMBS TO ACCEPT suG-
 GESTED CHANGES.
JOINT MEETING WAS HELD
Washington Failed To Get Full Con ception of Either the Personnel or importance of the Meeting Held
 at Little Rock.

Little Rock.
 Officials of the United States food administration at Washington have declined to accept the suggested prices for cotton seed of the committee of producers and crushers, which was wired them as a result of joint meet ing of those interests held at Little Rock.
 The prices as originally determined by Washington officials, when they di- vided the state into two zones, was ST3 per ton, car lots, for zone No. l, and $71 per ton, car lots, for zone No. l. The suggested amendment of ths committee was $70 and $68 per ton, car lots, for the respective zones.
 It is evident. judging by the tele- gram received at the state food ad- Tuinistration, that the controversy oyer prices for cotton seed can only be settled by personal conference in Washington with officials of the cotton seed division of the United States food administration. Their wire also indicates that many or the producers are maintaining that tie original prices should remain. The OH mills have contended that they were unable to do business under the Hrst prices fixed by the government.
 That Washington did not get full conception of either the personnel or importance of the meeting between inc producers and crushers is indicar- ed in the telegram received, which states that "It is obvious that the pro- dHcers were not fully represented at tAe conference" The telegraph reply also further suggests that many pro- tests are being made" and suggests ike selection by Hamp Williams, state food administrator, of "a small repre- sentative committee to come to Wash fngtOn with you. This committee should include representative Of the producers who are protesting against the proposed change"
