said one of the visitors.
who Is Mike McDonald?" asked Ser
geant Marshall. II don't believe 1 ever
heard of him."
He's the night clerk at the Lindell
hotel" answered the stranger in surprise.
II thought everybody knew him and had
heard of the time he went to Ringling
Brothers circus-he and John Thompson
down there. Mike has been the clerk at the
Lindell so long he owns the place. so far as
bossing is concerned Years ago, when the
Lindell consisted only Of bed space for
half dozen cots, Mike first broke into
fame.
"A travelling man drove UP to the door
one cold night almost frozen to death. He
walked up Mcdonald and asked for bed.
Yes sir. we can fix you out answered
the obliging clerk. Got good warm bed
for you; two travelling men just got out
of II to catch the train. It's still warm
But Mack made his great hit when he
went to the circus. II was muddy as all
out doors and half ton of earth was lifted
every time a foot was raised. For some
reason the showmen failed to let down the
ropes so the crowd could get into the main
tent and hundreds of people were almost
suffocating in the jam.
'Confound that fellow, I told him to let
down that rope at l o'clock and here 1t is
1:30,' said Mack in his stage voice. III

"Of course the crowd looked around at
the man with the big voice.
Mister. are you Mr.. Ringing sadly
asked a tired-out little woman who was
holding a baby in her arms.
Yes, madame, what can do for your
unblushingly answered Mack.
Il wish you would get your man to let
us in. / am almost ready to faint. I have
been standing here holding my baby for an
hour
Madame, let one of my men hold the
baby for you. Here you. turning TO
Thompson) carry the lady's baby for her
Thompson very gallantly took the child
and Just then the man let down the rope
and the crowd rushed through, and in the
crowd was Mack and the lady and Thomp-
son and the baby. And the woman was
profusely thanking Mack because he had
helped her out"
