him like a bell that where tough,
hardy miners succumbed frail girl
would have small chance.
He cut across over the hill toward
the draw, and at what he saw his pulse
quickened. Smoke was pouring out of
| the chimney of cabin and falling
groundward, as it does in the Arctic
during very cold weather. Had Sheba
found safety there?
AS he pushed forward the rising sun
flooded the earth with pink and struck
million sparkles of color from the
snow. The wonder of it drew the eyes
of the young man for moment toward
the hills.
A tumult Of joy flooded his veins.
The girl who held in her soft hands
the happiness Of his life stood looking
at him. 1t seemed to him that she
was the core Of all that lovely tide of
radiance. He moved toward her and
looked down into the trench where she
waited. Swiftly he kicked off his
snowshoes and leaped down beside her
The CLEAN Of tears was in her eyes

When he tried to speak his hoarse
voice broke. "Sheba-little Sheba
Safe, after all. Thank God, you
you" He swallowed the lump in his
throat and tried again. IF you knew
God, how I have suffered! I was
afraid dared not let myself think.

eyes slowly turned to his, and he met
the touch of her surrendered lips.
Nature had brought them together by
one Of her resistless and unpremedi-
tated impulses.
A stress Of emotion had swept her
into his arms. Now she drew away
from him shyly. The conventions In
which she had been brought up assert
ed themselves. An absurd little fear
obtruded itself into her happiness. Had
she rushed into his arms like love-
sick girl, taking it for granted that he
cared for her?
"You-came to look for us?" she
asked, with the little shy stiffness Of
embarrassment.
"For you-yes."
He could not take his eyes from her.
It seemed to him that bird was sing
ing in his heart the gladness he could
not express. He had for many hours
pushed from his mind pictures Of her
lying white and rigid on the snow. In
stead she stood beside him, her deli
cate beauty vivid as the flush Of a
flame.

Medical Board Finds Seven General Officers of Army
 Unfit For Service.
SUCCESSORS NOT
 YET SELECTED
Morton, Sage, Greele, Barry, Mann, Hummer and BlatchfOrd Relieved of Commands and Given
 Inactive Duty.

Washington, March 12.-Seven gen eral officers of the army, five of them now commanding 'Natoinal guard and National army divisions in this country, have been found physically unfit for overseas duty by a medical examining board, and, in case of the divisional commanders, will be assigned to other duties. This is in line with the announced policy of the war department to send to France only general officers who are prepared to stand the physical ordeal which a command on the battle line entails
 The officers were announced today by Major General March, acting chief of staff, as follows: Major General Chas. c. Norton; Major General Wm. H. Sage, assigned to other duty with the rank of brigadier general; Major General Edwin Gretle, assigned to other duty, with his regular army rank of brigadier general; Major General Thomas H. Barry, Major General Edward H. Hummer, as signed to other duty with dis regu- lar army rank of brigadier general; Major General William A. Mann, to be discharged from his commission in the National army. and to remain on his present duty as commanding the eastern department with his regular army rank of briGadier gen eral; Major General Richard M. Blatchford, National army, to be dis charged from his commission in the National army and to remain on his present duty commanding the depar.- ment of Panama, with his regular army rank of brigadier general.
 General officers who are to Ter place the devisional commanders, have not yet been selected, so far as could be, learned, and they may not be until the medical board has ex- amined many other officers who would be in line for service in France

HARMONY CLUB TO HAVE SUMP1U0US
 NEW CLUB HOME
Lease Old Spears Home To Spend Large Amount
 In Remodeling.

Pine Bluff is soon to have one of the most complete club homes in the state thru the action taken by the Harmony club at meeting last night at which a contract was closed for a ten-year lease on the two-story brick residence at Fourth and Walnut streets, known as the J. E. Speers home.
 The plans of the club calls for an expenditure of S5,000 in remodelling the 'huilding and arranging it for a club home. When completed it will he one of the most convenient build- ings of the kind in Arkansas. A large ball room and banquet hall will be provided private dining rooms, a library, billiard and pool rooms, sun parlors, reception rooms, private lunch rooms, hot and cold showers, are all included in the re- modelling plans. In the yard will be tennis courts and ample garage room. The interior decorations of the home are already beautiful and few changes will be made in them, beyond those necessary for the con- versions to club, purposes. The fur nishing of the building will be in charge of g. committee of ladies which will be named at a later date.
 Complete specifications for the al- terations in the old building are now ready and bids will be advertised for within the next few days. Work will be started about April 1 and is to be completed Icy May 15.

Congressional Committee Finds Nothing to Criticise
 in Sea Fighting Force.
FOUR TIMES AS BIG
 AS BEFORE THE WAR
Report Says HOO Ships and Greatly Enlarged Personnel as We'll Sup piled and Handled as Smaller
 Navy in Past.

Washington, March 12.-The direct ion and activities of the navy in the war drew the highest praise today from the house committee which re- gently completed an investigation of naval affairs. The navy's work for the 12 months past, it was declared, represents record of remarkable achievement.
 Handicapped at the start of the war by "a limited personnel and material, the navy, the report says, twas sud denly called on to face many diffi- cult and untried problems and has met the situation with rare skill, in- genuity and dispatch, and a high degree of success"
 During the hearings of the commit tee, testimony was given by Secretary Daniels, heads of all the nevy offices and bureaus, and other officials and witnesses.
 In the report the committee took occasion to laud the Marine corps, and declared there are today no better trained or more effective fighting forces in France. It recommended that the number of marines abroad be increased, declaring both officers and men are thoroly equipped and splendidly trained.
 Urges Big Building Program.
 The readiness ofthe Atlantic fleet for action at the outbreak of the war the report says, was due largely to the efficiency of the bureau of opera tions under Admiral Benson.
 Another recommendation of the committee was that the navy's great three-year building program of capital ships as we'll as auxiliaries, tempor- arily delayed because of the immedi- ate need of destroyers and smaller craft to fight the submarines, be re- sumed, and that both scout and battle cruisers be provided. Without such cruisers, the committe said. the dreadnaught fleet loses large part of its fighting potentially
 Praising the navy's bureau of sup-- plies, the reports said that under its chief, Read Admiral McGowan. the bu- reau has established nationwide reputation for business efficiency. The bureau is responsible for feeding clothing and paying the entire per sonel of the navy and the report said that 3O0,000 men and HOO ships now are just as promptly and we'll provided for as 55,O0O and 300 ships had beer before the war.
