RIVER RISING RAPIDLY
And a Flood Will Probably Result Al.
though II VIII Not Reach the
Marks of Former Years.

B Since the heavy SHOWS of Friday
Saturday and Sunday a great number
Of persons in the city who passed
through the 1913 flood have been anx.
iously inquiring as to the stage of the
river and whether or not there will q
flood.
The river has been steadily rising
for the past week and heavy SHOWS on
the days mentioned served to cause
the rise to become a little more no
ticeable. The stage of the river this
morning was 445 feet, only five feet
and half below flood stage. This is
the highest the river has been this
year.
Captain C. M. Phister this morning
stated that the cold wave which reach
ed here last night would have a good
deal of effect on the stage of the river
although high water could be expect
ed The river was falling from Pitts
burg to Point Pleasant on Sunday but
as there is considerable snow in the
mountains it is probably rising again.
Unless the unexpected happens
there will be no dangerous food, al
though the river will probably enter
Second street under the c. & o. bridge.

told him to stop at the house, and tell

Hale left his bag at the Office when he

Harvey Hale's tone of Impotence
and irritation only induced louder sobs
an6 more of them from his wife, whom
he had found in tears on his return
from the Office. They had been mar

when he had cOaxed her back to cheer
fulness and told her how much he
loved her had at last given place to
evaporation. Amy Hale at last man
aged to murmur:
"I'm so unhappy"
This time Harvey didn't ask why
He at once jumped to a conclusion.
"Oh, 1 suppose" he said YEARLY,
"it's because you met me walking
down Broadway with Mrs. Coe." She
did not reply, and he went on: "It's
no use to tell you met her accident
ally on the corner of Forty-second
street and was just in time to save her
from being run down by an automo.
bile. We both happened to be going
to the Astor, and just as we were
going in you happened along."
'Oh, that was it !"
Mrs. Hale's tone did not convey the
impression that she was convinced.

Amy, in the quiet, hurt tone which
sometimes drives a man to the last

"Any man except your husband! II
wouldn't be natural for him !" snorted
Hale. "The fact is, Amy, you've gOt

think hard. Perhaps she had not any
grounds for her suspicious. But why
had he changed so Of later Gould 1t
be possible she was herself In any way
to blame, as he had just intimated?
Well, she would try not to cry over
1t any more when he was around. She
would try not to suspect him. She
did so want to believe In his love for
her. If she could only have some real
proof.
Hale went off very frequently on
business trips, being gone two or
three weeks at time. OF late he had
not brought home his travelling bag
when he returned. Amy did not ask
him why, fearing he would consider
she was again suspicious, and she had
tried of late not to give him any
ground for such feeling. Hale, very
glad that things were running more
smoothly, was trying to make up for
the past unpleasantness by added at
tantions to his wife. But the mystery
of the travelling bag haunted Amy, and
one day she had to ask him why he
didn't bring 1t home.
"Why you see, DEAR" he explained,
"I never want to be bothered with
much luggage, so I only take one
change of underwear. You can always
get it washed in the hotel laundry. If
that's not convenient, buy some, and
send it all from the office when l get
back. 1 keep the same comb and
brushes right in the bag, so I'm not
bothered with taking them out and
forgetting them" This might have
sounded plausible to the ordinary lis
tener, but not so to a jealous wife.
Amy determined to investigate. She
made an errand down to the office.
Hale was there, but she didn't see any
travelling bag. She didn't dare TO
search in the small closet. but she
was obliged to leave without fur
thering matters. The next time she
went down she found that her hus-
band had been obliged to leave un-
expectedly for Philadelphia. Gibbs
