THE FLOOD IN KENTUCKY.
Swollen Streams Are Causing Great DAM
age, Especially to the Earmers-The
Worst Yet to Come.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March THE
swollen streams in Kentucky are caus-
ing great damage, especially to farm
ers, and it is feared the worst is yet to
come, as the streams are still rising.
The Kentucky river is rising rapidly
and much of the bottom lands are al
ready inundated. All the tributary
streams are badly swollen and a record
breaker is feared.
Besides the damage to property sew
eral casualties have resulted already.
J.W. Gordon was drowned near Frank
fort while trying to ford Stony creelI.
William Abshire, near Richmond, ia
cob E. Ewing, at Ewing Station, and
Neal Carter, near Mt. Sterling, lost
their lives in a like manner.
At Catlettsburg the government
gauge is 51H feet, and the river rising
slowly. Merchants and residents on
Front and Center streets, Catlett's
Creek, are moving to higher grounds.
The water is now Is inches above the
danger line. Much damage is reported
up the Big Sandy River. At Louisa
the river is 81 feet, and still rising. 1t
is the highest water since 1862.

CHAPTER Nil.

As they were alghting from the car
at Fortieth street within sight of the
Rembrandt studio building Hendricks
exclaimed
"As sure as you live that's Miss Hunt
ington's carriage. l know the coach
mans livery. She is up there now, try
ing to get something out of Henri. Poor
Girl, she is almost insane, and it's moth
ing but natural. For all we know, her
sweetheart may never lay eyes on her
pretty face again"
Could it be so bad as that? asked
the doctor.
But Hendricks only reply was to
point towards the entrance of the
studio building.
There she is now. L think ! can
make her useful, and she would like to
be of service"
At the carriage door she looked up
and recognized them, and. buttonlng
her heavy fur wraps, she stepped
towards them to keep the coachman
from overhearing her words.
Il have been up trying to give Henri
a bit of encouragement, she began.
He is almost broken-hearted. He has
written me twice to-day TO let him see
me- Poor fellow! he thinks ought to
be able with money to do something.
He is like faithful dog. He has scarce
" touched bite to eat since his master
went away"
Against the white feathery back
Ground her complexion seemed almost
sallow, but her eyes shone with intense
brilliance.
Il am glad happened 10 meet you,
began Hendricks, putting on his hat
again after his head had grown white
with snow.
You have the opinion of that hand
writing expert" she said; ''but even his
opinion will not change mine. The let
ter was written by Mr.. Gielow."

Human COntrariness.

Wonderful how a sense Of duty in
terferes with what had before been
a pleasure and a luxury" remarked
a Third avenue man to his doctor the
other day. when strawberries were
first on the market and selling at HA-
yana prices, my folks just couldn't DO
without them, and insisted in having
them in plenty right up to week
ago." What brought about tho
changer" You did. When l told
you that my wife and three girls
were all feeling little under the
weather, you said that it was due to
the changeable spring and, among
other things, told me to give them
plenty of Strawberries. 1 mentioned
it to them, and from that time to this
they have regarded Strawberries as
medicine. One quart was on the table
for three meals, and then my wife had
them stewed to prevent their spelling.
Still they did not go, and the washer
woman finally disposed of them at one
sitting. I'll bet if you had said that
they'd better leave strawberries alone
they would have eaten half busheI q

doctor noticed a strange fXity in the de-
tective's eyes and wondered what was
coming as Hendricks advanced slowly
and stood before Miss Huntington.

woman" he said. 81 have been de-
liberating whether I could reveal some
thing to you of rather an unpleasant
nature"
Miss Huntington stared steadily and
folded her gloved hands tightly in her
lap.

you had better tell me-" she said. 81
shall try to bear it,
Hendricks drew up a chair and sat
down. He glanced towards the doctor
as if for help, but evidently gave up any
idea of relief from that dignifed quar-
ter.
Matters have reached very grave
stage" he said, hopping his perspiring
brow. perhaps L ought to begin by
saying that Mr.. Gielow is innocent OF

Miss Huntington leaned towards him
like some stiff inanimate object.
''He-he is dead ?" she said, under her
breath.

bricks raised his hand as if his gesture
would correct her surmise. But have
reasons for believing that he is in a
very, very critical position. The fact
is, that he succeeded in getting a writ
ten message to the police to the effect
that he is confined in some place un-
known to himself by Count Bantinni,
and that he is starving to death. It is
clear to me now that Bantinni is the
murderer; that, through hypnotic
power, he has made Mr.. Gielow confess
to the murder both to Henri, in person,
and in letters to the police and your

Hendricks stood up quickly.
"Do you know Of mis- ever having tried

"Not to my knowledge, sir"

"Not him." answered Henri. Il heard

Hendricks glanced indifferently out
of the window.
"Was the count-did he wear his
nails that way?'
His fingers was almost repu!sive, sir.

HEALTHY PAGAN MAGISTRATE
He Doesn't See why Boys Shouldn't
Fight and Have 1t Quit
They Want To.

Bailie Smith, of Dun bar, is a gallant
man. Entertaining certain Old-fash-
toned ideas he avows them bravely.
The hymnbook does not daunt him;
the police he defies. Two boys were
brought before him, charged with
fighting. Let them fight!" said the
brave Battle, and called the next case.
The fiscal demonstrated, whoever the
fiscal may be, and he was sat upon.
''Why shouldn't they fight?" asked
Bailie Smith. 'ATy own boys fght!"
We're there no earnest persons pres
ent to improve the occasion by recit-
ing DR.. Watts? Zone struck the
other" continued this impenitent mag
istrate, "and he was quite right to
retaliate. l will not convict, at all
events" The assessor struck in, point
ing out that defendant had pleaded
guilty, and convention must follow.
But it was of no use. 'Then 1 will dis
miss them," said the stout Battle, and
he addressed the boys: 81 don't object
TO you fighting at all. Away you go,
and have it out"
Here is a specimen of healthy pa
ganism." We can fancy how Tom
Hughes and Kingsley and Charles
Reade would have applauded this rare
Judge; we can fancy also the sensation
in Dunbar, the cackle of the old peC-
pie, male and female, the dubious faces
of the clergy, the approving grins of
all who have the mems sana in cor
pore sano, and the delight of the
boys, always instructive and incur
able heather, if they be the right
sort. At the same time there is a
certain awkwardness. Those boys
fought in a public place, the station
yard; a great crowd gathered around
them, and the station-masterga gave them
into custody. Their mill was not a
simple operation, interesting no one
but themselves. If the spirited youth
of Dunbar take their brave Bailie's
words to heart the streets of that an
cient town may witness a spectacle
like the gladiatorial shows of DID,
London Standard.
