t Mr. Harold Clancy strolling in st,
James park, London, saw good look
ing lady sitting on a bench. Conclud-
Ing by her appearance that she as well
as himself was an American, he mo-
ticed her as he passed, then turned and
walked back. She looked him In the
face and continued to do SO until he
stood before her. Then as he dotted
his hat and bowed she smilingly and
sweetiy said:
II knew that you were an American
and would come back. viii you Sit
DOWN.
Mr.. Clancy sat down after excusing
himself. The nursegirls in the vicin-
ity giggled, and policeman passing
along winked at him In solemn man
ner, but he refused to be perturbed. In
few minutes he discovered that he
had made no mistake. The good look
ing lady was not only an American,
but resident of Chicago when at
home: She was also a widow Of two
years standing. She had come over to
London, chaperoned by her mother and
escorted by her lawyer, to see about
some property. Her mother had been
taken Ill and was then unable to leave
her bed in the lodgings the lawyer had
secured for them. She herself had got
out that day for the first time in a
week to get a breath of fresh air. The
story up to this point did not call for
any great amount Of sympathy, but
there was more to 1t. The lawyer had
suddenly and mysteriously disappear
ed. For week nothing had been
heard Of him. He hadn't played any
shyster trick on them, but had proba-
bly, been murdered She and her moth
er had discussed the matter in all its
bearings and could come to no other
conclusion.

to the police, nor had she notified the

helpless in the matter and wishing she
had the advice of compatriot in her
troubles. Harold Clancy was willing
and anxious to advise. He convinced
her almost at once, but it was an hour
later when she asked him to convince
her mother. The poor convalescent
was worrying her heart out and would
probably have a relapse unless she were
convinced that the lawyer had been
abducted and held for ransom instead
Of being robbed and hung over the en-
bankment to float around in the mud

was little too prompt. She must for
several reasons, some Of which she
mentioned and some she didn't, ask
him to defer his call until evening
When this point had been settled they
rose and separated. The nursegirls
giggled again, and the policeman came
back with his solemn wink, but the
good looking lady pretended not to see
or hear. and Mr.. Clancy scowled at
the nurses and clinched his fist at the
guardian Of the peace and vowed that
he would lick him If he ever caught

There were four hours to wait. Mr..

hint that moner was needed. On the
contrary, she hal carried the opposite
idea. Mr.. CLANCY was an astute man,
however. He could see through a
square hole in a round grindstone. He
had often been heard to say that the
want of money caused nine-tenths of
the troubles in this world. He had
money IN the hotel safe. He drew 1t
cut and showed it down a hind pocket
and felt himself heeled. He would adj

with words, but not with words alone.
When the proper moment came he
would spring his "wad" and beg moth

their tears and sobs of gratitude he
had to use his own handkerchief to
chase away the yelling tears. The

there was any eyewater on the bill of

His ring at the bell was answered by

Mr.. Clancy didn't dwell on trifies. He
was told that he was expected and to
walk upstairs and knock at the first
door to the right. He followed in
structions, and the door was opened,
but he had scarcely set foot inside the
room when he received blow from a
sand bag and knew no more for hours

Athena, Feb. 15.-The flood which
came down the flat Friday night did
considerable damage to the railroad
yards in this city, particularly to the
w. & c. r. tracks. From the mill
down to the depot the tracks are
badly damaged and it will take con-
siderable work to repair the road bed.
A string of cars heavily laden with
mill-stuffs from the Preston-Parton
mill stood on the track during the
flood and when the ballast washed
from underneath the ties, the weight
sagged the rails. The cars were let
down to the lower end of the yards
the morning after the flood. The re-
pairs are going on at a rapid rate
now, and it is hoped that trains will
be through here within a few days.
Miss Fannie Tharp, one of the op-
orators at the local telephone office
has resigned, and her place is being
filled by Miss Eva Rider.
There was nearly two feet of water
in the basement of the n. a. Miller
