THE NAMELEss BABY.
Mississippi River Flood Furnishes
the Story for Novel.

Two weeks ago The Messenger sait
that the stories furnished BY the Missis
sippi River food contained more Of fas
cinating interest in the way Of tragedy
and romance than most other such dis
asters.
Out Of all the stories connected with
the sinking of the Titanic, the one fur
nishing the best basis for a novel is that
of the two tots found 10 one Of the life

names are.

in her arms came floating down the riy-
er on log. She was rescued at Hick-
man. KY. As they we're taking her in

will die without revealing her name or
history.
Neither Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens
or Eugene Sue, undoubtedly the three
greatest noyelists that ever lived, could

public than the Mississippi River has

If the mother dies, there will be no GO
