All that the management had claim

FLOOD SITUATION

 ESSARY IN SOME DISTRICTS.
Hot Springs Fund Is Available, and Some Action May Be Taken by
 Committee on Present Reports.

With the exception of the break il the leyee at Angola, La, inundatinl about 6,000 acres of the states farm Thursday, there was no materia change in the Mississippi levee sit uation Thursday night.
 The need of food, clothing and oth CT supplies for 3O,00o or more flood sufferers in southern Arkansas, north eastern Louisiana and northwestern Mississippi is imperative and only temporary relief is in sight. Supplies are on the way from both Memphis and New Orleans Many persons arc in desperate circumstances. This last Associated Press report makes the situation look more like actual want exists than any hereto fore, and it may be that the Hot Springs relief committee will take ac- ton now and tender such relief as 1t can if this is necessary.
 The situation north of Vicksburg is growing alarming because of the break of the levee near Beuiah, Miss. Wednesday night. The creyasse Is rapidly widening and the floods are slowly but surely spreading over Washington. Bolivar. Sharkey and Sunflower counties, Mississippi. The water is rapidly creeping up into the small towns scattered over the delta country and the people are fleeing to the highlands.
 Service on the Yazoo and MissIs sippi Valley railroad. north of Vicks burg, has been suspended and nc trains are likely to be operated foI several days.
 Adjutant General Fridge of Missis- sippi received message from Con gressman Collier Thursday, that vac cine anti-toxin would be sent to Vicksburg at once for general vaccina tion of the Louisiana negroes in the refugee camps.
 The United States engineers are on the firing line" up and down the river. doing everything possible to prevent further breaks. Farmers ol the Moorhouse parish lowlands arc building boats in preparation for the expected overflow Sections of this parish are expected to eventually be under from one to 10 feet of water.
 The work of raising 5000 feet oi leyee just below Ostrica, several miles below New Orleans, is being rushed as rapidly as possible. Thursday aft ernoon the levee was but three inches above the level of the river.

Let's see that head of yours, Steele.
Speaking of pains and pricks reminds
me that, being surgeon, / may be OF
some assistance TO YOU"
Philip knew that he had checked
himself with an effort, and as his new
acquaintance began to loosen the BAN
dage he found himself wondering what
mysterious mission could have sent a
Chicago surgeon up to Fort Smith. The
doctor interrupted his thoughts
Queer place for a blow" he said
briskly. Nothing serious slight abra-
sion-trife feverish. Well set you to
rights Immediately" He hustled to his
greatcoat and from one of the deep
pockets drew forth leather medicine
case. Queer place, queer place" he
, chuckled. returning with a vial in his
hand. Were you running when it
happeneds"
Philip laughed with him, and by the
time the doctor had finished he had
given him an account of his affair with
DeBar Not until hours later, when
the Cree had left on his return trip and
they sat smoking before roaring FIRE
after supper did it occur to him how
confidential he had become. Seldom
had Philip met a man who impressed
him as did the little surgeon. He liked
him immensely. He felt that he had
known him for years instead of hours,
and chatted freely Of his adventures
and asked a thousand questions about
home. He found that the doctor was
even better acquainted with his home
city than himself, and that he knew
many people whom he knew, and lived
in fashionable quarter He was puz-
zled even as they talked and laughed
and smoked their cigarettes and pipes
The doctor said nothing about himself
or his personal affairs. and clcverly
changed the conversation whenever it
threatened to drift in that direction.
1t was late when Philip rose from his
chair, suggesting that they go to bed.
He laughed frankly across into the
others face.
-Bofhn-Boffn." he unused.
Strange I've never heard of you down
South, doctor Now what the deuce can
you be doing up here?"
There was a point-blank challenge
in his eyes. The doctor leaned little
toward him, as if about to speak, but
caught himself. For several moments
his keen eyes gazed squarely into Phil
ip's, and when he broke the silence the
same nervous flush that Philip had not
iced before rose into his cheeks.
Il know your father he said at last
in a low, restrained voice. Il know
him well. and of course read what the
papers said when you broke away from
society to go roughing it down in South
America. l believe you're honest-on

Philip stared at him in amazement.

hands again over the stove, I'D follow
your suggestion and go to bed. As it

No sooner had the Indian entered

ned. Philip noticed that as he talked
slight flush gathered in the doctors
smooth cheeks, and that not only by
his voice but by the use of his hands as
well he seemed anxious to impress upon
his listener the importance OF what he
was saying.
Hell start back for Chippewayan
this afternoon" he explained to Philip
moment later. The dogs and sledge
are mine, and he says that he can make
it easily on snow-shoes" Then he light
ed his cigarette and added suggestively,
"He can't understand English"
The Indian had caught glimpse of
Philips belt and holster, and now NUT

were grumbling at the stove. The doc

Why" asked the doctor.
In spite of their short acquaintance
Philip began to feel sort OF eomrade-
ship for the man opposite him.
Well" he said. hesitatingly, you
see, he was one OF those criminals who
are made criminals. Some one else
was responsibIe-a case of one man
suffering because of another mans
sins"
If the doctor had received the thrust
of a pin he could not have jumped
from his chair with more startling sud
denness than he did at Philips words.
That's it, he cried excitedly, be-
ginning to pace back and forth across
the cabin floor IT'S more than
theory-it's a truth-that people suffer
more because OF other people than on
account of themselves. We're born to
it and we keep it up, inficting a thou

TOR a full half minute after the

hand across the stove
"By thunder" he cried, you're from

"Homep exclaimed the other There
was a startled note in his voice. You're

strangely at Philip and gripping his

Good heavens drawled the doctor,
gazing still harder at him and pinchins
the ice from his beard, what are you
doing up here?"
"Prodigal son." grinned Philip.
Waiting for the calf to get good and
fat What are you doing?"
Making a fool of myself" replied
the doctor, looking at the top of the
stove and rubbing his hands until his
fingers snapped.
At the north pole, if they had met
there, Philip would have known him for
professional man. His heavy wool
en- suit was tailor made He wore a col
lar and fashionable tie A lodge sig
net dangled at his watch chain He was
clean-shaven and his blond Van Dyke
beard was Immediately trimmed. Ev-
erything about him, from the top of his
head to the bottom of his laced boots,
shouted profession, even in the Arctic
snow. He might have gone further and
guessed that he was a physician-a sur
geon, perhaps-from his hands. and
from the supple manner in which he
twisted his long white fingers about
one another over the stove He was a
man Of about forty, with a thin sen
sitive face, strong rather than hand
some, and remarkable eyes. They were
not large, nor far apart, but were like
twin dynamos, rejecting the life of the
man within. They were the sort of
eyes which Philip had always associa-
ed with great mental power.
