The woman glared at him. Tell

"Oh, but I have this time" Noel
said e. gerly. She had hoped so

going to be turned away for the

said, turning her face away pet

Noel remembered giving her
name and address before. She
supposed it had been lost. Or was
this the usual procedure?
She was instructed to write
down her name, address and the
name of her reference. Noel
wrote it down accordingly, giving
F'rankie's name as reference.

Then Noel laid the paper down
on a table and once again followed
the butler to the side entrance,
where he said as before, "Your
trouble is in being too pretty
Just as I said"
Then the door was shut, and
Noel was again walking around
the tagged walk, which was now
bordered with lovely purple iris.
Suddenly she heard hurried foot
steps in the house and a voice
two voices in fact, calling her
name. Miss Doran-oh, I say,
Miss Doran-come back, please"
Noel stopped and turned around.
The butler was hurrying out in
the yard. Mrs. Garwood stood in
the side door, peering out
anxiously.
When Kitchens reached her, pant
ing just a little, he said, Mrs.
Garwood has changed her mind.
She wants you to have the job"
Noel gazed at him incredulously.
But I thought"
Then she was going back into
the house and Mrs. Garwood was
waiting in the little hallway which
opened out the side door. She was
smiling. IT just thought mean

calmly, still puzzled as to why the
woman had changed her mind so
suddenly.
When she left a few minutes
later, everything was arranged.
On the way back to the Court

on the strange inscrutable ways of

All employees in the several
stores and other places of bust
ness remained at their stations
and assisted in moving merchan-
disc and records to higher places
in the buildings. This was espec-
tally true of those employed in
stores and professional offices in
the east section of Second street
near Green and Liberty streets.
Mrs. Sarabell Kimmell, who
was trapped by the waters at
Second and Green streets, was
one of the first to be carried to a
place of safety. Others were car
fled from Miller's Sanitary Market,
Garrett National Bank and the office
of DR.. M. C. limbaugh in the bank
building and from the Half-Price store
where the first stage of the journey to
safety was made over house tops.

Rain Began About Midnight
The flood was caused by steady
downpour which began about mid
night Friday. This, coming on top OF
six previous days of almost steady
rain, brought up the level of the creek.
Its rise was closely watched by city
employees, but it's practically wall of
water came with such suddenness and
so swiftly that slight warning was
able to be given. The fire siren brought
members of the department to duty,
but by that time there was two feet
of water at the corner Of Second and
Green streets.
The muddy torrent Tapped at the
window sills of the Garrett National
Bank building and the waters actually
reached the steps leading into the
banking room of the First National
Bank at Second and Alder streets and
penetrated Alder street for a distance
of fifteen to twenty feet. Many rescues
were effected in the neck-deep cur
rent.
Places Flooded

The hand discussed today also came from England, and is the prized possession of New Yorker, who had the pleasure of bidding and making a super slam against two English experts.
 The bidding is phenomenal, and the American, who sat North, had the distinction of taking all 16 tricks at no trump contract. The key card to this no trump slam was, of course, the exposed ace of royals. So freakish were the East and West hands that, with the aid of this ace, West would have lost but one trick.
 In explanation of his slam bid, the American explained that he could not resist the temptation to bid for the slam in no trump him. self. rather than leave it to his English partner.
 The opening bid of 10 spades in our forcing bid of two, trans lated into a somewhat unusual setting. Of course, such hands as this are unusual in royal contract; however. not quite so rare, I un- derstand. as in our game, but I close the slam to disclose how important any faced card may be in slam bidding.
