It is possible that a good rain
would result in clearing the Ken
nebec of ice this month. Looking
over an old record in Stone &,
Cooper's offices one doesn't find that
the Kennebec has been cleared OF
ice in the month of February since
1885, on which date the going out OF
the ice is recorded of March Fl. In
1926 the. ice went out Jan. /, and the
river was closed again Jan. 5. In
1855 the ice went out Jan. 6, the
river closing again on the Sth. -Four
years later it opened Jan. II, closing
Jan. 20. Several times over that
period of years the ice went out in
December.

a row of photographs. The hour was
late in the afternoon. and though his
rooms overlooked a somewhat dismal
street off the Strand, Dagon liked
their convenience.
1T seemed that nothing could reach
him from outside. He wasn't likely TO
be disturbed even by the telephone
bell. as none of his friends save Ken

movements. and Haste would not try
to communicate with him.
On the big table which supple
mented his American desk and stood
beside it were five framed cabinet
portraits, four of the frames cheap
things merely designed as supports
to keep the photographs in an up

had given it the place of honor in
