'ad it, and he told me to go to,
well, the place as isn't mentioned in

He paused and shook his head in
the direction of the bar, after which
he observed that he knew all about
it, and one or two other things be-
side.
1 gave him a shilling for his iRfor-
nation and then left the house.
Once more I had missed Gideon
Hayle by a few minutes, but L had
received some information that might
help me to find him again. Unfor-
tunately, however, he was now well
on his way to Southampton, and in
a few hours might be out of England.
My respect for that astute gentleman
was increasing hourly, but it did not
deter me, only made me the more re-
solved to beat him in the end. Max
ing my way to Waterloo, 1 inquired
when the next train left for South
ampton. Finding that 1 had more
than an hour and a half to wait, l
teIegraphed to the man 1 had sent to
Southampton to watch the docks,
and then took the electric railway to
the city, and made my way to my of
fee, where a pile of correspondence
awaited me on my table. Calling my
managing clerk to my assistance,
set to work to examine it. He
opened the letters while I perused
them and dictated the various re-
plies. When he came to the fifth he
uttered an exclamation of surprise.
"What is it?" I inquired. "Any-
thing wrong?"

walls l inquired whether he felt equal
to telling me in what direction the
gentleman who had given him the
shilling had ordered the cabman to
drive him. He turned the question
over and over in his mind, and then
arrived at the conclusion that it was
''some hotel close to Waterloo"
This was certainly vague, but it
encouraged me to persevere.
Think again." 1 said; 'he must
have given you some definite address"
Nov l do remember" said the
man, sit seems to me it was Fox
wells hotel, Waterloo Road. That's
where it was, Foxwell's hotel. Don't
you know it?
d" 'Foxwelrs Hotel is a merry, merry place,
When the jolly booze is howin'. fiowin'

Now chorus, gen'men."
Having heard all 1 wanted to, I
gave the poor wretches what l had
promised them, and went in search
of a cab. AS good luck would have
it l was able to discover one in the
City Road, and in it drove off in the
direction of Waterloo. If Hayle were
really going to stay the night at
Foxwell's hotel, then my labors had
not been in vain, after all. But 1
had seen too much of that gentle
mans character of late to put any
trust in his statements, until l had
verified them to my own satisfaction.
I was not acquainted with Foxwel's
hotel, but after some little search l
discovered it. 1t was by no means
the sort of place a man Of Hayle's
wealth would be likely to patronize,
bot remembering that he had par
ticGlar reasons for not being en- evil
dence just at present, could under
stand his reasons for choosing such
hostelry. 1 accordingly paid Oft
my cabman and entered the bar.
Taking the young lady found there
a little on one side, inquired wheth-
er a gentleman had arrived within
the last half-hour, carrying a bag

ITO Be Continued
AN ANTIQUATED BILL.
Gen. WadswOrth's Father
in 1913.

A man at least so years old came in
to the office of Representative Wads-
worth, of New York, a few days ago.
Mr.. Wadsworth was out, but the
clerk invited him to have a seat and
wait for the congressman to return,
says a Washington correspondent of
the New York World.
''My name is Williams" said the
caller, land 1 came in to see if Mr..
Wadsworth would pay a little bill
have against him."
"Of course, he WILL" remarked the
clerk. LET me see it, and 1 will prob
ably be able to settle it and save you
the trouble of waiting for him"
The old man passed the bill over to
the clerk, whose face grew long as he
saw that the bill was made out
against the father of the congress-
man, who was killed in the civil war,
Why" he exclaimed, this is
against Gen. Wadsworth, who has
been dead nearly 40 years"
The old man said he knew that very
well, but he thought it would do no
harm to see if the son would ngt set
tie it.
81 heard just few days ago that
the general was dead, but, as l had
planned to come on in a few days to
ask him for the money, 1 thought L
would see the son. You see, Mr..
Wadsworth's father bought that pair
of steers from me in 1913. l didn't
need the money then, but 1 think 1
do now, and that's why l came"
A few questions elected the fact
that Mr.. Williams lives 25 miles from
the city, and that he had walked
every foot of the way. The clerk
urged the old man to prOlOng his
stay when he began to get fidgety
after waiting more than an hour for
the congressman.
mo" said he, "I guess I'd better
toddle along and get back so as to
take care of the stock"
And he toddled. But a registered
letter followed him, and it was for
ten dollars more than the face of the
bill.

Kindred Vices.

Rev. Justus Forward, settled in Bel
chertown, Mass, hundred years ago,
once reproved a workman for swearing
while he was blowing a new field.
"Swear!" said the man. Il guess you'd
swear!''
Mr.. Forward took the pillow and hur-
ried after it, Indignantly denying the
charge. Then, as the field became more
impossible, he began painting:
II never did see the like! never did
see the like!" When he had gone once
round the field he stopped, breathless
and said:
There, you see, didn't find it neces-
sary to swear"
No" drawled the other man. "but
you've told more'n so lies. You said
you never did see the like, and you saw
it all the time was plowin'. "-Youth'a

emphasize the misery OF the locality,
and perhaps in a measure to account
for it, at the further end 7 discov-
cred a gin-palaee, whose faring
lights Illuminated the streets on
either hand with brazen splendor. A
small knot of loafers were clustered
on the pavement outside the public,
and these were exactly the men L
wanted. Addressing myself to them
1 inquired how long they had been
in their present position.
"Best part of an hour, gunner"
said one of them, pushing his hands
deep down into his pockets, and
executing a sort of double shuttle as
he spoke. Saint doin' any harm
ere, 1 'ope. We was 'opin' as 'ow a
gent like yourself would come along
in the course of the evening just to
ask US if we was thirsty, and wot
we'd take for to squench it,"
"You shall have something to
'squench' it. if you can answer the
questions 1 am going to ask you,"
replied did either of you see a
gentleman come down this street,
running, about half an hour or so
ago."
"Was he carrying a rug and
bag?" asked one of the men, without
hesitation.
"He was" 1 replied. ''He is the
man 1 want. Which way did he go
when he left here?"
"He took Jim Boulter's cab" said
another man, who had until a few
moments before been leaning against
the wall. ''The Short I'm was alook-
in after it for i'm, and 1 heard him
call Jimmy myself. He tossed the
Short I'm a bob, he did. when he got
in. Such luck don't seem ever to
come my way"
"Where is the Short I'm, as you
call him?" 1 inquired, thinking that
it might be to my advantage to in
terview that gentleman.
"A-drinkin' of his bob in there"
the man answered. "Where dye
think ye'd be a-seein' i'm? Bearin'
ITSELF proud like a real tori, and at
closen' time they'll be chuckin' i'm
out into the gutter, and then is
wife'l come down, and they'll fight.
an most like both of EMIL get
jagged before they knows where they
is, and come before the beak in the
mornin'."
Look here" I said, eff one of you
will go in and induce the gentleman
of whom you speak to come out here
and talk to me, 1 would not mind
treating the four of you to half a
crown"
The words had scarcely left my
lips before a deputation had entered
the house in search of the gentleman
in question. When they returned
with him one glance was sufficient to
show me that the Short I'm was in a
decidedly inebriated condition. His
friends, however, deeming it possible
that their chance of approaching my
liberality depended upon his condi-
ton being such as he could answer
questions with some sort of intelli
gence, proceeded to shake and pun
mel him into something approaching
sobriety. In one of his lucid inter-

The A. & N. G.. r.. r.. Has a Close
Call, Fut Escapes With

out Injury.
An unsuccessful attempt to wreck
the passenger train on the Allan
tic 6 North Carolina Railroad
about 3 miles from this city was
made Thursday. The train was
running at a very high rate of
speed and happily ran safely over
the part of the track and switch
which had been tempered with.
Some feud had drawn the
spikes from the rails for several
yards and had also broken open
the switch and set it so that it
would be most likely 10 derail the
engine or insure the spreading OF
The rails. However, in some un-
accountable way the engine wheels
struck the switch in such a way
as to force it back Ia position and
the entire train passed over the
loose rails witchout spreading
them. The force of the contact
of the engine with the switch
warned the engineer that some
thing was wrong and he reversed
the engine, but owing to the good
speed at which the train was runs
ming it did not stop under twelve
hundred feet this side of the switch.
The train crew then went back
and a careful examination of the
place was made revealing the evil
dences of an attempted wreck as
narrated above. But no clue to
the guilty party could be discov-
cred. The escape of the passen-
gers from a serious wreck is gen
orally pronounced nothing short
of a miracle.
The ARGUS man interviewed
Capt. Coleman on the arrival of
the train here and could add moth
ing further to the above account,
except that he put off a white man
near the place the previous evens
ing, going east, who was drunk and
who had neither money nor ticket.
Capt. Coleman says he does not
know the man, but would fecog-
nize him if he were to see HIM
again.

VIM. C. HAMMER.
Gets The Scholarship of the
Tenth Judicial District.

Raleigh Post.
Mr.. VIM. G. Hammer, of Ashe~
boro, succeeds the lamented Wiley
Rush of the same town as solic-
tor of the Tenth Judicial District.
This appointment was an-
nounced by Governor Aycock
yesterday and there is no doubt
that 1t will give very general
satisfaction. The claims of other
aDle lawyers were presented by
their friends and a number of
delegations have waited upon the
Governor within the past week.
MI. RI. Smith, of Stanly county,
was in the race with very strong
endorsements, and it has been a
matter of conjecture for several
days as to which would get the
appointment, Mr.. Smith of Mr..
Hammer. Governor Aycock
could not make a mistake in this
instance.
| The mantle of Wiley Rush
falls on worthy shoulders. and
Mr.. Hammer will make a solici
! tor of which the Tenth District
may feel proud. He has for sev>
eral years been a bard party
worker, but has never held Office
except as superintendent of pub
lie instruction of his county. He
is editor of the Asheboro Courier,
and as chairman Of the county
democratic executive committee
| has made q reputation as a leader
of ability. Mr.. Hammer had
many supporters in the last con-
l~gressional convention of the
Fourth district, and of late has
been mentioned IS the probable
nominee for Congress in the new
district in which Randolph was
] placed by the last Legislature.
