 "The old man, as I learned was the boss of the hotel. He had taken some of the help out to the barn to assist him. To square himself the clerk invited me to the bar. and as We lined up he said he hoped I would excuse the hotel as snow created as much excitement in Texas as 'salome' ill Philadelphia.
 The snowstorm was the talk of the town all that day. One of the regular boarders who had come down rather late jumped on the clerk for not calling him so he might have seen the sight. He lowed that he didn't have many more years to live, and as snow was mighty skase ar ticle in Texas he did not want to miss anything in that line"

 As I looked around saw a crowd in the middle of the room The men were punched in circle. The clerk informed me that they were waiting for the porter to make some heat I learned few minutes later that the community was expecting mortimer. A Texas Norther drives man and beast to cover
 II went to the barber shop to get freshened up for breakfast It was open, but no one was in. I slid into a chair and sat there for ten min- utes. No one showed up and I pass ed into the bar. l stood against the counter and knocked, but there was no response
 II returned to the office to inquire about the missing artist and the bar man, but the clerk had disappeared. noticed then that the bunch which was gathered about the stove when first entered the office had disappear ed. A lot of kindling wood lay OH the floor near the stove. The DOT ter had evidently done his stunt in part and had vamosed.
 " No one was in the elevator, so walked up one flight to the dining room, for 1 was getting hungry for breakfast. Half dozen men were scattered about the room waiting for food. Not waiter was in sight. remained for several minutes and then went out.
 T met negro boy, but he was running. He pad no attention when l hailed him. noticed that every one whom I met in the corridor was in motion, and the motion indicated unusual activity. I wondered if the hotel was on fire.
 l ran down the steps to the office. The room was still. Not soul was in sight. Again I went to the barber | shop; no one in. I made second ] trip to the bar; it was as before. 1 retraced my steps to the office and began pounding the gong on the counter.
