The Elsinore district is abandoned, as

lied.
Murrieta district has been unable to
do much, as there is difference of

of getting water will be very great.
Reports from Big Rock creek are very
conflicting, but it is said that the dis

interest on its outstanding bonds is not
being paid.
Selma district, on account of opposi-
tion from the people, has never as yet

IRRIGATION DISTRICT.
A Synopsis of the Workings of tn
Wright Law.

Wright Law.
Through the courtesy and enterprise of
L. M. Holt, editor of the Rialto Orange
Belt, the HERALD is able to produce the
following. Mr.. Holt is we'll known as
the specialist of Southern California on
irrigation:
A few weeks since the Orange Belt
sent letters, with thanks inclosed, to the
secretary of each irrigation district in
the state, asking for information rela-
tive to the progress OF the district in
issuing and selling bonds, and other in
formation that would be of value and
interest to the reading public. The
following table has been compiled from
these reports.
There are 38 districts in the list, and
those which are marked with a star (*)
have not been heard from, but in some
cases the information is given as report
ed by the districts two years ago.
In the accompanying table we have
returns from 19 districts that report
having voted bonds to the extent of
$11, 1894, 900.
There are also 13 other districts that
have voted $4 4.942, 900, and these dis
tricts have sold no bonds.
This makes total of $16,776, 900 in
bonds voted by so districts.
There are six districts in the list that
have not as yet voted any bonds.
The sale of bonds for cash amounts to
~ 622 900, and traded for water rights,
81. 995 200, total of So, ,627 200 in bonds
disposed of out of total OF $11, 1884 900.
The other districts are evidently not
ready to sell their bonds as yet.

you know, then of course every one
would turn stockbroker, and you would
have to hold your meetings in Hyde
park. How much is it that you need?"
"More than can ever get. Not less
than 913,OOO."
Clara's face fell as she heard the
amount. "What do you propose doing?'
II shall go to the city now, and shall
ask all our creditors to meet me tomor-
row. shall read them Pearson's letter
and put myself into their hands,"
''And they, what will they do?'
"What can they do? They will serve
writs for their money, and the firm will
be declared bankrupt"
"And the meeting will be tomorrow,
you say. Will you take my advice?'
"What is it Clara?'
"To ask them for few days of delay.
Who knows what new turn matters may
take?'
"What turn can they take? have no
means of raising the money"
''Let US have few days"

binary course of business. The legal
formalities would take them some little
time. But must go, Clara; must not

CHAPTER XIII.
IN GTRANGE WATERS.

When DR.. Walker had departed, the
admiral packed all his possessions back
into his sea chest with the exception OF,
one little brass bound desk. This he I'M
locked and took from it a dozen or so
blue sheets of paper all mottIed over
with stamps and seals, with very large
V. RS printed upon the heads of the.
He tied these carefully into q small bun
die, and placing them in the inner pock-
ct of his coat he seized his stick and hat.
"Oh, John, don't do this rash thing"
cried Mrs Denver, laying her hands up
on his sleeve. Il have seen so little Of
you, John. Only three years since you,
left the service. Don't leave me again.
1 know it is weak of me, but cannot
bear it"
''There's my own brave lass" said he,.
smoothing down the gray shot hair.
''We've lived in honor together. mother.

THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.

But there is one oDstacle-I 40 not
think that you would ever induce Harold
to take this money"
Clara's face fell. Don't you think so,
really?'
81 am sure that he would not"
''Then what are you to do? What
horrid things money matters are to ar
ranger
81 shall see his father. We can manage
it all between u.s."
ooh, do, do, papa! And you will do it
soon?"
"There is no time like the present. I
will go in at once" He scrubbed check,
put it in an envelope, put on his broad
straw hat and strolled in Though the
garden to pay his morning call.
1t was singular sight which met his
eyes as he entered the sitting room of the
admiral. A great sea chest stood open
in the center, and all around upon the
carpet were little piles of jerseys, oil
skins, books, sextant boxes, instruments
and sea boots. The old seaman sat
gravely amid this lumber, turning it
his wife, with the tears running silently
down her ruddy cheeks, sat upon the
sofa, her elbows upon her knees and her
chin upon her hands, rocking herself
slowly backward and forward.
"Hullo, DOCTOR" said the admiral,
holding out his hand. "There's foul
weather set in upon us, as you may have
heard, but I have ridden out many a
worse squAll, and, please God, we shall
all three of us weather this one also,
though two Of us are a little more
cranky than we WERE"

thought that I had John to myself for
the rest of our lives-heaven knows that
we have not seen very much of each
other-but now he talks of going to sea
again"
"Aye, aye, Walker, that's the only way
out of it. When I first heard of it,
was thrown up in the wind with all
aback. give you my word that l lost
my bearings moro completely than ever
since strapped a middy's dirk to my
belt. You see, friend, I know something
of shipwreck or battle or whatever may
come upon the waters, but the shoals in
the city of London on which my poor
boy has struck are clean beyond me.
Pearson had been my pilot there, and
now I know him to be rogue. But I've
taken my bearings now, and I see my
course right before me-"
what then, admiral?"

paper and looked question
Kindly tell me again, papa, how much

"And Ida?"

''If it were necessary"
"But it is necessary. Oh, do help me,

Harold is in sore need of money and
through no fault of his own" With
woman's tack and eloquence she told
the whole story. "Put yourself in my
place, papa. What is the money to me?

cious it is. l could not have thought that
money could be so valuable. See what

He was talking boisterously and heap

it out with all these people, and then we
shall know what damage is done and
how best to set it right. It will be time
enough then to begin to muster our re-
sources to meet 1t.
"Our resourcesW The admiral laughed.
There's the pension. I'm afraid, Walk
er, that our resources won't need much
mastering"
ooh, come, there are some which you
may not have thought Of. For example,
admiral, had always intended that my
girl should have $4,000 from me when
she married. Of course your boys trou-
BILE is her trouble, and the money cannot
be spent better than in helping to set it
right. She has little Of her own which
she wished to contribute, but thought
it best to work it this way. Will you
take the check, Mrs. Denver, and think
it would be best if you said nothing to
Harold about it and just used it as the
occasion served?"
God bless you, Walker, you are
true friend. Iwon't forget this, Walker"
The admiral sat down on his sea chest
and mopped his brow with his red hand
kerchief.
What is It to me whether you have it
now or then? It may be more useful
now. There's only one stipulation. If
things should come to the worst and if
the business should prove so bad that
nothing can set it right, then hold back
this check, for there is no use in pouring,
water into broken basin, and if the lad
should fall he will want something to-
pick himself up again with"
He shall not fall, Walker, and you!
shall not have occasion to be ashamed Of

But we shall hold your money, my
friend, and it will strengthen us to feel

"Well, that is all right said DR..

'Dishonor! The loss of some miserable

ooh, Clara, if it were only that! We
could be far happier together in a little
cottage in the country than with all the
riches of the city. Poverty could not
cut me to the heart as I have been cut
this morning. Why, it is but 20 min
utes since had the letter, Clara, and it
seems to me to be some old, old thing
which happened far away in my past
life, some horrid black cloud which shut
out all the freshness and the peace
from it,"
''But what is it, then? What do you
fear worse than poverty"
''To have debts that l cannot meet.
To be hammered upon change and de-
clared bankrupt, to know that others
have just claim upon me, and to feel
that dare not meet their eyes. Is not
that worse than poverty"

But all this may be got over. Is there

position that may be required by the

him to invest, and he has embezzled it.
I, as his partner am liable for it. I have

shall not be under the shadow. You are
free, Clara. There is no tie between us"
SIT takes two to make such tie, Har-
DID," said she, smiling and putting her
hand inside his arm. "It takes two to
make it, dear, and also two to break it.
Is that the way they do business in the
city, sir, that a man can always at his
own sweet will tear up his engagements"
"You hold me to it, Clara?'
"No creditor so remorse1ess as I, Har-
old. Never, never shall you get from
that bond"
"But am ruined. My whole life is
blasted"
"And so you wish to ruin me and blast
my life also. No, indeed, sir; you shall
not get away so lightly. But seriously
now, Harold, you would hurt me if It
were not so absurd. Do you think that
a woman's love is like this sunshade
which I carry in my hand-a thing only
fitted for the sunshine and of no use
when the winds blow and the clouds
gather?'

You are strong still, but then two will
be stronger. Besides. sir, you have no
idea what a woman of business | am.
Papa says so, and he knows"
Harold tried to speak, but his heart
was too full. He could only press the
white hand which curled round his
sleeve. She walked up and down by his
side, prattling merrily and sending little
CLEANS of cheeriness through the gloom
which grit him in. To listen to her he
might have thought that it was Ida and
not her staid and demure sister who was
chatting to him.
