the pop-eyed frenzy of that second bat
tie, drawn game--the grand old dope
skids off the trail and vanishes for
good and all. Blown full of holes,
twisted out of gear, kicked in the
Stats, there "ain't no dope" to work or
to work with. There's nothing to do
1t with but two ball clubs Keeling in
dizzy circles, laundering and detonat-

Foot work has gone; headwork has
vanished and the two contestants are
now face to face attempting to pound
each others brains out with nothing
left but the wallop and the punch.
From this wild, unkempt mixture
one of two things may happen. The

with a smile.

Curiously enough. l was able myself
TO answer that question in three days

came about this way on the very
morning that Lord Varnley went to
Paris, it was known through the daily
papers that there had been n robbery
at his house in Cork street, OF a green
velvet case containing a crescent of
pearls, turquoises, and diamonds. This
was present from one Of the embas-
sizes to his daughter, and must, said
the reports, have been distracted from
the house during the press and the
confusion of the reception. Later in
the afternoon 1 received an advice
from Scotland Yard cautioning me
against the purchase of such a gem,

NICHOLS HAS
 ONE CHANCE LEFT GOVERNOR TO HEAR PETITION FOR COMMUTATION OF SEN
 FENCE ON MONDAY.
IS A WIFE MURDERER
Petition is Signed By 1G9 Residents of Jefferson COunty-Reas0ns
 Are Given.

] Little Rock. Ark, April 12--W T. Nichols, the Jefferson county wife murderer, has one chance of his life yet. He was convicted October 20, 1911, sentenced to hang January 5, 1912. appealed to the Supreme Court which affirmed the lower court Feb ruary ,, and the governor has set May 3 as his day of execution.
 A petition has been filed with the governor, signed by 169 persons praying the governor to commute the sentence to life imprisonment. They give the following reasons for elem ency:
 Nichols has always been a good quiet, law-abiding citizen; that he was never arrested on any charge prior to this one; that some evidence was permitted to be introduced showing that the deceased, who was the wife of defendant, was cruel and nagging ill her treatment of defend ant. tending to show that she had made life "a burden for him up to this time, but that by the technical rules of evidence the court stopped the in troduction of this evidence and re- fused to permit the defendant to show how he had been treated by her.
 "The defendant had many witnes- ses present by whom this could have been shown. and it is the contention on the part of the defendant that the killing occurred on account of de- ceased,s bad treatment of him, her utter disregard of his feelings
 through many ye years, having flip panty refused to live with him, and having sought to take from him his children, and being in the act at the time of the killing of forcibly taking from his lap his baby while it was screaming and crying for protection; that aroused to extreme anger by all this, the defendant killed the deceas- ed in sudden heat Of passion and was therefore not guilty of premsd- lated murder
 Gov DoDaghey has announced that he will give this petition a hearing on April 15, next Monday.

 Distress

L tile Rock, April 12- By Satur- day morning we fear that Lake Vil- laae will be swept away" was the stat ling message received by Gov ernor Donaghey Friday afternoon, from Attorney Will Kirten, over long distant telephone.
 Mir. Kirten laid the levee had brok- en and the rush of'waters was inun- dating the cry, being already three feet deep n the lairoad station. The people were in panic. and immedi- ate assistance was imperative. It was feared that the town would be destroyed, just as Napoleon was years ago at the mouth of White River.
 At the same time message came that the levee had at last broken at Arkansas City, after one of the most courageous fights ever made, and that the water then stood one foot deep in the court house and was stiln ris ng At ..he same time it was re- parted tlat the water was running over the top of the levee at Helena, and that a break was momentarily expected.
 Earlier in the day messages had been received from o. \. Killough, president of the St. Francis Levee District; Mayor J. L. Dean of Luxora Mayer J. J. Ledbetter, of Blytheville, and others to the effect that the en- gineers had given up the fight, that the levee were in imminent danger of breaking, and should they go out, there would be greaG loss of life as well as property. They reported that the resources of the levee board are exhausted, and that the local levee engineers a1e worn out, leav- ing the citizens to cope with the sit uation. The water had not yet be- gun to recedee and they expected fight of many days duration. For this reason, they urged that U. s. engineers at Memphis to send ex- perienced men to ass st in the work, as they could not hold out mucln longer.

 THRILLING RUNAWAY
Mrs, F. W. Eek and Mrs. Harry Da- wis Have Narrow Escape
 From Serious Injury.

Lying partially in a buggy, and clinging to the shafts and the har- necs of her horse, which was running away Mrs. r. w. Eek, well known Pine Bluff lady, had thrilling ex- perience for several minutes. yester- day afternoon about 5:30 o'clock, on West Second avenue. But for the eff forts of Mrs. Harry Dav;s, who was also in the buggy who clung to Mrs. Eek, she would probably have fallen to the ground and sustained serious injuries.
 The ladies were in Mrs. Eck's bug gy, driving leisurely West on Second avenue. Suddenly the horse stumbled and fell to his knees and the sudden stopping of the buggy threw Mrs. Eek forward nearly out of the vehicle. The horse became frightened and started running Mrs. Davis grasped her companions dress at the waist and kept her from pitching into the horses heels. Spectators were horror stricken and looked for serious ac- cident but fortunately the animal was stopped after running about five blocks.
