every detail, had to be constructed for

ture studio. A scene in her latest pic

Pine Bluff, Feb. 5.-Two men, one and seven whites, one a woman, were wounded tonight in four-hour seige of a negro tenment on the river front to capture negro who had shot down white officer. The black, George Wick, was driven from his refuge and killed after two buildings had been dynamited and burned.
 The affair was not the outgrowth of race trouble and no serious demon strations followed the killing of the negr. The body was recovered by of ficers as it was being dragged to the public square and removed to a place of safety.

STATE AND OTHER HEALTH OF TIGERS RECOMMEND ALL WHO HAVE DISEASES TO REMAIN AT HOME.

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-Rather than to adopt stringent quarantine regula- tions on account of the influenza epi- demic, State Health Officer, c. w. Garrison and other health officers are recommending that all persons who may have the disease shall stay at home until they have thoroughly re- cvered and all danger of pneumonia complications have passed. There are some who are contending that all schools, churches, theatres and other places where people assemble in great numbers should be closed, but Dr. Garrison thinks the same end will be accomplished if pastors, teachers, theatre managers and others insist that all persons afflicted with the dis ease shall stay at home until they have recovered. About a thousand cases of the disease have been re- ported in the state, but as rule they are of mild type, and few deaths have occurred in Arkansas.

but gave no impression Of strength
because of the exceeding spareness of
his frame. AS long as he remained
in the crowd, he wasn't important
enough to be studied. But soon he
turned off, through the park, and
straightway found himself alone.
The noise and hustle OF the crowd

And the place where used to be the
pool and the playground Of Dan Fail
ing is now laid of In as green and
pretty a city park as u could wish
to see.
Some day, when the city becomes
more prosperous. a pair Of swans and
a herd Of deer are going to be intro
duced, to restore some Of the natural
wild life Of the park. But In the sum-
mer Of 1919. a few small birds and
possibly half a dozen pairs of squir-
reis were the extent and limit Of the
wild creatures. And at the moment

rels was perched on u wide-spreading

There was a bench beneath the tree.
If there had not been, the life of Dan
Failing would have been entirely diff

street seemed wholly unable to pene-
trate the thick branches of the trees.
He could w hear the leaves whisk-
ing and Ticking together, and when O
man can discern this, he a hear the
cushions of a mountain lion on a trail
at night. OF course Dan Failing had
never heard a mountain lion. Except
on the railroad tracks between, he
had never really been away from
cities In his life.
At once his thought went back to
the doctors words. They were still
repeating themselves over and over
in his ears. and the doctors face was
still before his eyes. 1t had been b
kind face; the lips had even curled in
n little smile of encouragement. But
the doctor had been perfectly frank,
entirely straightforward. There had
been no evasion in his verdict.

They're pretty well shot. OF course.

Dams voice had been perfectly cool
and sure when he replied. He had
smiled q little, too. He was still rath-
er proud Of that smile. "Six monthsl
Isn't that rather shOrt?"
Maybe a whole lot shorter. I think
that's the limit"
There was the situation: Dan FAIL
ing had but six months to live. He
began to wonder whether his mother
had been entirely wise In her effort to
keep him from the trough games' Of
the boys OF his own age. He realized
now that he had been an underweight
all his life-that the frailty that had
thrust him to the edge Of the grave
had begun in his earliest boyhood. But
It wasn't that he was born with ply.
steal handicaps. He had weighed a
full ten pounds: and the doctor had
told his father that q sturdier little
chap was not to be found In any ma
ternity bed In the whole city. But his
mOtheD was convinced that the child
