When Bad Men and Everything Else
Bad Ruled in Arkansas-Gam-
bling in Court.

According to Hallums History of
Arkansas" gambling games of various
kinds were carried on in the presence
of the court in that state prior to 1929.
Not necessarily in the presence of
each presiding judge, but did lawyers
or spectators feel inclined to place a
bet there was no harm done if faro
bank was opened, or any other game
begun.
A faro bank was run in the court
house at Van Buren, while court was
being held in an adjoining room. 1t
is not stated that any jury was hung
up overtime because of a bank game
being operated for their enjoyment
after they received the judges charge /;
but jurors are human.
However, if the manners of those
ancient times dismay our citizens to-
day there was compensating direct
ness of obtaining results that would
refresh many men-perhaps women
In 1923. 1t is told that a notorious
desperate, usually keeping in the
backwoods of Arkansas, wandered to
town when court happened to be in
session. A new judge was on the
bench and it was not supposed that
he knew the country and temper of
the ne'er-do-wells as did his predeces-
sors.
Anyway, the bad man staggered
into town and commenced satisfying
his cosmic urge for "cawn licker." He
was bad man; very bad. The sheriff
informally advised him to withdraw
from the settlement until after court
adjourned. The desperate slapped the
knife handle protruding from a boot
leg and confided his personal opinion

Z CHAPTER XIV
A Proposal.

Peters departure made an enormous
gap in AIMS life, and she turned con-
fidently to Fanny to fill it. She want
ed good gossip about Hendricks, but
to her surprise, she found her friend
singularly elusive. Mrs. William gave
her to understand that the cousins
had been together almost constantly
while Hendricks was at home, but be-
yond that Fanny's mother was for once
communicative. She turned ready
purple with resentment at the up
starts treatment Of her nephew, but
at the same time the culprit fancied
that she rejoiced in it. At any rate,
Ann thought, Mrs. Williams opinion
made no difference, 1t was her uncle's
judgment of the matter which she
awaited with Impotence.
BY the time it came she had grown
accustomed to the monotony Of a life
shorn of emotion. She liked the long
unprecedented days Of late summer
The sight of the foreign envelope filled
her with a strange dread; subcon-
sciously she feared reawakening.
"Paris, August Doth, 1863.
"My Dear Ann:
II have received three letters In my
last weeks mail and I may say that
their contents astonish me- I feel an
old man and a sad one, after reading
them. My sister's-in-law I will not

resolution to break with my nephew

ticularly in the light Of later events.
"What events?' Ann murmured, at
loss to understand.

that I am disappointed. I had hoped

might become attached to him; II

your hand in marriage and, what is
more, he states his belief that you viii

his honor.
The sheriff trotted to the court
house and did as told. His honor, fraiI
of physique, gravely declared a recess
for 20 minutes and went over to the
