To the Citizens of Aberdeen and
Vicinity. Greeting:
While | have just moved to Alb
erdeen. | am not a stranger TO the
state, as | have spent fifteen years
in Mississippi's capitol since 1891.
Mississippi is the state of my adop-
ton. and aside from Kentucky, my
native state. like 'Old Miss" the
best. And in many very essential
things. this state far surpasses Ken
lucky; and because of these es-
sential' things. many Kentuckians
have already found their future
homes here, and many more will
still come.
l have seen Mississippi's capitol
emerge from a small, muddy coun-
try town to a modern, well-kept.
splendid city. and | take pride in
claiming some small part in its de-
yelopment. But | have now cast
my lot with the good people of Alb
erdeen, which | have always looked
upon as a splendid little city of
good, refined and cultured people,
to become the pastor of one of your
churches 1.-THE Christian), and /
here serve notice that it is my de-
sire to be of service. not only to my
own people, but to those of any
church, and especially to that large
unchurched" element. which is to
be found in every community.
shall stand, first of all, for the
moral and religious uplift of our
town and county; for the physical
beauty and improvement of the
town in every way possible. l hope
to be a worthy ally to everything in
grace and nature that is good and
worthy. and a foe to everything
that is evil.
Fraternally,
M. K. HARMON.

CHAPTER w.
BaHIlno Clues.

bahiino Clues
Young Mr.. Oakes. however. did not
enjoy himself.
For the first time In his life he was
beginning TO be conscious OF the pos
session Of nerves. He had gone into
this investigation with the self-conf-
dent slertness which characterized all
his actions. He believed In himself
thoroughly.
The fact that the case had the ap-
pearance Of presenting unusual DIM
culties had merely stimulated him. He
was tired OF being assigned to investi'
cations which offered no scope for the
inductlve genius which he considered
that he possessed.
Hitherto he had been q razor cut
ting wood. Now. however, he told HIM
self. he could really show Mr.. Snyder
the difference between modern meth
ods and the stupid rule-of'thumb
which seemed 10 be the agency's only
form OF mental expression.
This mood had lasted for some
hours. Then doubts had begun to creep
In. The problem began TO appear In
soluble.
True, he had only just taken II mp.
but something told him that. for all
the progress he was likely TO make, he
might Just as well have been working
ON Il for month. He was baffled.
And every moment which he spent
In the Excelsior boarding house made
II clearer 10 him that that internal old
woman with the pale eyes thought him
an innocent fool.
It was this. more than anything.
which had brought TO Elliott Oakes'
notice tho fnct that he had nerves.
Those nerves were being sorely trou-
bled by the quiet scorn Of Mrs. Pick
ett's gaze.
He began to think that perhaps he
had been a shade too self-conhdent and
brusk In the short Interview which he
had had with her on his arrival.
She had struck him as thoroughly
stupid old woman, and hS manner had
shown II.
He had been keen and abrupt during
that interview. He had cut In on hei
remarks. He had examined her witt
regard to the facts which he needle
to supplement those which he had b
The times-herald. [volume] (Burns, Harney County, Or.) 1896-1929, 1920-02-28

ory as a possible solution. and. II he
had been honest with himself he would
have admitted that there was good
deal OF the emotions OF the drowning
man toward the straw In his attitude
toward II.
Nothing suppoued the theory ex-
cept his active imagination.
Captain Gunner had certainly visit
ed India In the course OF his wander
iugs. but there the trail stopped. He
had never shown any of the signs
which might be supposed 10 mark the
man conscious OF being ceaselessly pur-
sued by the outraged servants OF an
Indian god.
In his rambles along the waterfront
he had frequently met IndIaps, but he
had betrayed no nervousness. On the
contrary. II they happened TO get In
his way. he had usually kicked them.
This was not the attitude Of hunted
man. A
Cakes was bound to admit that his
confidence In the Indian theory was
not very robust. lie had put II to Mr..
Snyder In his report more as an -syi-
dence of good faith, as proof that
his busy brain was at work and that
he was bringing laudable nimbleness
of Imagination 10 the quest, than be-
cause he really believed II.
Ills innuendo against Mrs. Picket
was pure spite. The woman irritated
him profoundly. and II soothed him to
fancy himself even for moment
watching her like hawk, and causing
her uneasiness by his relentless pur-
suit.
