Nash Determined to jump.

MAST determined TO jump,
About $50 in the evening Nash
started to the rear of the boat, in
tending to enter the mems toilet room,
but finding the door locked he re-
turned quickly to the west side of the
rear end of the boat. He then ex-
claimed: .As I am going to go away,
might as well jump here!"
Hatchett said that he grabbed for
Nash as he made his desperate leap,
and at the same time called to a col
ored porter near by to help him save
the man, but the porter replied that
If the fellow had no more sense than
to jump, to let him go.
Hatchett held to his char !, and felt
Nash pulling him over the railing
with him. Finding that he had not
obliged TO let go of him and he went
into the stream, and soon sank out
of sight.
The crew of the boat was notified
and the steamer brought to stard-
still. but 1t was soon seen that it was
useless to make search for the body
and the steamer proceeded on to Can
ton, where Hatchett quit the boat and
returned to st. Louis on the mid
night train to inform relatives of the
death.
Mr.. Hatchett said that the drowned
man was fine fellow to have in the
home. He was rather quiet when
drinking. He had been married but
was divorced from his wife some time
ago.
The deceased is survived by q

The slightest suggestion of smile
played about her lips, but he was
very deeply troubled, and, seeing this,
her eyes grew grave with kindness.

his arms about her, a kiss, which he
had intended for the lips that were SO

his neck added unnecessary though

drew back and held him away with

with maddening deliberation, at might
not be important, but / must tell you

Col. Daubenspeck leaped to his feet
and swung his cap. He proposed three

Good-By to Jerry DangerfieId.
The next morning Ardmore knocked
at Griswolds door as early as he
dared, and went in and talked to his
friend in their old intimate fashion.
The associate professor of admiralty
was shaving himself with care.
You won't have any hard feelings
about that scarlet fever business. will
you, Grissy? 1t was downright selfish
of me to want to keep the thing to
myself, but thought it would be fun
to go ahead and carry it through and
then show you how well l pulled 1t
on"
Don't ever refer to 1t again. If you

have seen history in the making,
quorum pars magma. fui."
But / say. Grissy, there is such a
thing as fate and destiny and all that
after all; don't you believe it?"
Don't / believe it! know it,"
thundered Griswold, reaching for a
towel. He lifted white rose from a
glass of water where 1t had spent the
night and regarded it tenderly. THE
right rose under the right star, and
the things done; the rose. the star
and the girl--the combination simply
can't be beat, Ardy."
Ardmore seized and wrung his
friends hand for the twentieth time;
