RaUages of Animal Thought to Be Lion
 ArouSeS Settlement

Haleyville, August 14.--(Spe- cial.)-Has anybody lost a lion? The entire settlement around Pebble, about six miles north east of Heleyville. is in an up- roar from the depreciation of some wild animal thought to be lion. Persons who have seen 1t claim that 1t is immense yellow lion and very savage. Dogs placed on it's trail have refused to track 1t and horses become manageable when passing where the animal has, recently been.
 On yesterday it killed a grown yearlina and a pig in the edge of the forese reserve and was heard to roar last night. Pebble Is near the forest reserve and 1t Is thought that some animal has escaped from circus menagerie and hiding in the reserve, which Is thinly populated.
 A large party offhunters have left Haleyville heavily armed with a large pack of fox hounds in an effort to kill or capture the beast.

 Every effort has been made so to operate our property that our men could honorably return to work.

 We must now turn to employing others, for the roads must be rurr; we must give those we employ pro lection, for 1t may be that those we have up to this time protected by keeping their jobs open, may now turn against us, even to an attempt to prevent others from working.
 Call Is now made upon every em- ploye; upon every patron of this company, and upon every citizen along its lines to rally to the support of the road that has served you and protect you own interests in the maintenance of transportation. With your help we can run the road, and we pledge all the resources of the company to that end. If 1t means war to run the Southern railway then let us have 1t now-not later.

He was much thinner and quite pale. There were great circles about his eyes. He looked more like a big boy than ever as he opened his sleepy eyes, and after looking me over, dressed as l was in white crepe with white shoes, gloves and hat, he ir- quired quizzically:
 Is it my Extravagant Lady? Or, is it cool ice cream angel straight from iceberg heaven?' Harry, Harry exclaimed, Is it really you? Why did you not wire me you were coming over and I would have met you at the train. l am the proud possessor of a new electric town car since you were here last and l would like to show you that If l am an extravasant lady I am also splendid chauffeur

 That was Harry's greatest charm. pr. George. He woud fall in with any mood which you might have. Said he would also take up the game right where he left off. Even if the leaving were months before.
 Tn just few minutes we were on our way. We had hardly gotten settled in the car before Harry said. as he looked at me closely:
 Margaret. really did not know you were so beautiful
 "Were you forgetting how I looked. Harry?v asked flippantly.
 No, dear. But each time | see you your loveliness seems greater than the last
 Do not think me conceited. dear Dr. George. for I am just quoting Harry, you know. He said nothing more for a few minutes and then he spoke as though just thinking out loud:
 ITO be with you is rest and quiet and content-the content I have not known since I was with you last Dear, have been having most ter rible time. It has been hell--every moment. Doris has been quite i'll. you know
 But I didn't know. Harry. How should I know? There would be no one to tell me of 1t but you. and you never mentioned her when you talked to me over the wire
 Of course you know, Margaret, that Doris expected a baby
 II drew away from Harry quickly. So that was the reason he stayed away from me- The idea touched my heart with icy fingers. I think for the first time saw how futile-how foolish was my love for him. After all really did not have any place in his life. His wife and his child were the reality-I was only an intermit- tent interlude.
 DO you know, dear Dr. George, that for the first time I realized that I was the woman outside and l won- dered if I was like those women you read about in the newspapers wlio take men away from their devoted wives and young children.
 "'Why, what Is the matter, Marr garet? asked Harry in surprise when I drew away from him. Are you hurt and angry that have not been over? You never seemed like this be- fore. Do you not see that could not leave Doris while she was in bed and very III?
 Instead of answering, inquired.
 Then you have come over to tell ne you are happy fathery

"Tt was a long time before Harry come over, Dr. George said Mar garet. All through the summer and early fall the days were like ovens. each one hotter than the last. be- gan to feel a bundle of frazzled nerves. each one raw.
 "Tt seemed to me that 1 could stand my home, my clients. my friends. my acquaintances no longer, and told myself that as soon as could arrange it would sail for Eu- rope.
 Harry called me up occasionally and talked to me as loving as ever. But he always insisted that he could not come over just then. Once he wrote me letter-or rather dictated it to his secretary-and in the letter he remarked that his secretary seemed to think that he was very impolite to dictate letter to me.
 When answered was very careful to tell him that he need not worry about that; that I had never written him letter which had not dictated to my secretary.
 Men are queer, pr. George. [ do not think 1t had entered Harry's mind that my typewritten letters had been dictated. When he found it out he acted very much hurt. Said he had always considered my letters as strictly personal.
 "I explained to him that if he had stopped to think about the matter, he would have known that did not know how to run typewriter-and beside I had often told him that | hated to write letters quite as much as he.
