The Chronicle mentioned this Tact and stated that the L)r's sermons *ere scholarly and much enjoyed by those who heard them, also that the J>lea8ure was Cheraw's to have a man of Dr. Clark's ab'lity as a visitor, and it give us plc-r.sure to reproduce in our columns vi.at he wrote concerning our people, ?. .1* town, our section and t'.e pleasure it ofTorded her to be with Governor Manning has declined Mr. lord's invitation to junket with him /? to Europe to help bring about peace 4n that war ridden country.

My room was on the third lloor lack. There was a succession of lire iscapes by w hich one who was umbiious to break bis neck might get from me house to another. til a window in rear of the other dock a pretty girl was used to sit, sometimes sewing, sometimes reading, sometimes watching what was going )n in the limited yard spaces below. SYhcn at home I used to sit In my iviuuiMv wjiicumg me prcuy giri. i have told quite enough to Indicate hat trouble was brewing for the pret:y girl and myself. ll Lce.au by my looking admiringly it the pretty girl and, being a bold rouug man. following up my glances j? throwing a kiss. Of course the roung lady disappeared from the winlow. The next time 1 saw her there [ poised a flower and, taking careful iilm, threw It so correctly that it fell in her lap. She tried hard to look jffended, but gave way to a bit of a smile, which was followed by an expression of great severity. To make a long story short, in the course of a couple of weeks 1 and the pretty girl were holding up messages written in large letters for each other to read. This was followed by my taking advantage of darkness one evening when I would not likely be observed by others to swing myself from one tire escape to another to a play form directly beneath tbe pretty uimm abode. She was in her' room at the time and, hearing a tap on the win ilowpnne, saw me without. Self preservation Is the first law of nature, and the girl, to prevent any one seeing what was going on, turned off the light. Then she came to the window. put the sash up a few inches and her mouth to the aperture, saying excitedly: "For heaven's sake, go away from here!" Instead of obeying her I endeavored to kiss her. 'Tollce! Burglars!" came a cry. "Oh, heavens!" cried the pretty girl. "I hear some one coming up the fire escape. What shall we do?" For reply I threw up the sush as far as It would go and climbed through the window. The pretty girl, hearing some one hurrying upstairs, locked the door. Well, there wc were! "This Is dreadful!" cried the girl, wringing her hands. 1 crawled under a lounge an.d told her to unlock the door. She did so just in time to prevent discovery of Its haviug been locked. A womlin came into the room exclalmin?V^^J?. "Good gracious!" exclaimedthe pretty girl, going to the windo^JmlUng down the sash and locking There was a confusion of^&uuds. Some one knocked at the window and called out, "All right here?" The w,omau who had entered replied, "Yes.'^but declined to open the window, Woubtless she di.l not trust any one. "Sure a man didn't go through this room?" called the voice. "Certainly not," raid the pretty girl. "Thou it was the next Window," 1 heard the voice say. "I saw him." For some time 1 heard evidences that a burglar was being hunted; then gradually the commotion quieted down. Some oik?I concluded that it was the woman who had entered?left the room. Then the pretty girl said to me: "You can't stay here, and you can't get out without almost surely being discovered." "If worse coiues to worst, say I am your husband." Although this dialogue was spoken In a low tone, it was overheard. A woman?the same who had come in before ?entered. "To whom were you speaking?" she usked. The pretty f^irl stammered n denial tliat she had spoken to uuy one. It ilid not satisfy I lie other. She began a hunt. Itathnr than be dragged out I came from my hiding place voluntarily. "Be quiet," 1 said to the elderly woman who stood before me. "I'm no burglar, and we don't wish our marriage to be known as yet." The woman looked thunderstruck, rurning to the girl, she said: "You don't mean to tell me that you tave been secretly married?" "I do," I interrupted, "and If you'll let this unfortunate affair blow over >ou shall have one of the most affecting love stories you ever dreamed of." "I should think so." she said very severely. I was permitted to consult with the M'ctt.v girl privately. She was a lodger ivith the woman who had discovered ne and nl-me in the world. We were tot obliged to satisfy the landlady furhor. but it was arranged that I should ee my supposed wife In the parlor oe asionally, and there I did the rest of ny courting in a far more respectable nanner than on the Hotneo principle.
