and he had returned to his hard labor with
philosophical determination to make the
best of it.
Now there had been unexpectedly thrust
upon him what seemed like an opportunity
to acquire more wealth than had figured in
his dreams, it seemed to be all but under
his hand, and righteousness, that is latent
more or less in every human being, was
gradually and surely growing within him,
suppressing all other impulses, and mas
tering his being. He had not yet admitted
to himself that he wanted TO find buttons
| diamonds, or the president, for his desire
was now centered on that single stone. for
his own use. He willfully evaded the an
a!ysis Of his motives when it came to that,
or stubbornly told himself that if Dutton
should recover he would restore the valua-
bic jewel to him. 1t mattered not how he
might act should he find the president in
his possession. the great point was that he
wanted to find it, to see it, to hold it to
the light to observe it's sparkle, and he
paved over the grass his eyes ached with
| the momcntary hope and expectation of
| seeing the diamond flash upon him.
| He was working systematically, trying

The Columbian Women.

The Columbian Women held their first
regular monthly meeting Monday after
noon in the Columbian University. The
meeting opened with quorum present
and Miss Lille Holbrook, the president, in
the chair. The general outlook for the
winter was discussed. The society deter
mined TO bend its most earnest efforts to
the establishment of the Lucy Stone schol-
arship, for which funds We're raised, in
part, by an entertainment the 18th Of last
May. The meeting also discussed a me-
moral tablet, which is TO be raised to DR..
J. c. yelling, late president Of Columbian.
Prof. Ansateis is now at work upon the
model, which is in every way beautiful and
artistic. The matter which is of imme-
date interest to the Columbian Women,
however, is the reception which is to ten
dered by them to Dr. and Mrs. Whitman.
The committee appointed to arrange for the
reception is composed OF Miss Margaret

He prohibited the use of the water, the

was down with typhoid. A son had recent

then the family had taken it. The army
surgeon told the man that the deposi:ing
of filth around the spring had done the
business for the family. The troopers rode
on without getting a drink"

CHAPTER IN-A BUNCH OF KEYS.
Nicholas Warren had but an imperfect
understanding of his own action. His sim
pie uneventful life since war times had
not stimulated self analysis, for his emo
tons and impulses ran in even, familiar
channels. Love for his wife and daughter
had ruled his life and almost his only con-
tention had been with the soil from which
he was content to eXtort such return as as
sured him and his of plenty to eat and
enough to wear. Shelter never entered
sensibly into his calculation of needs, for
in Granite to live as married man was
to own a house.
There had been times when too much or
too little rain had depleted the crop. and
he had uttered the common cry of discon-
tent and wished that he We're rich, but his
wish had taken the vague form of long
ing fer money in the bank, in railroad or
government bonds, in factories. and it had
speedily vanished as an urattdinable dream

Health Ordinances.

Yesterday in Judge Kimbalrs court In
spector Howe of the health department
complained against Catherine H.Walsh and
Catherine Heenan for an alleged violation Of
the health ordinance. An untrapped cesspool
was the nuisance charged Mrs. Walsh was
willing to pay half the expense of abating
the nuisance but Mrs. Heenan did not feel
so disposed Judge Kimball said he could
do nothing other than fine the defendants
each $50, but if they would promise to abate
the nuisance he would suspend sentence.
This they promised to do, and their per-
scnal boz DIS were taken.

Good Sewerage Needed.

People can take precautions in the way
of boiling the water they drink in clearing
the land in the vicinity of their wells ard
springs from outhouses, and draining the
slopes away from the water supplies. But
absolute immunity will never come until the
taxpayers insist upon having that protec-
ton to their lives that only perfect sewer
age and good water can give. OF course
every physician who is treating typhoid
fever tells the family how to guard against
its spread through water pollution. The ut
most care is necessary in the disinfectirg
of the eXcrement and depositng 1t where
it cannot affect the water; in boiling ard
disinfecting the patients clothing and he'd
ding, and in disinfecting the spoons and
dishes used in the sick room.
THE suburbs of Washington furnish
many natural advantages for good sewer
age. the lay of the land and the location of
slopes and ravines Offering opportunities
for putting in a perfect system. But every
year that it is delayed the ground becomes
the more polluted and the seeds of disease
are being sown in the soil to bring forth
evil fruit hereafter.
AN incident occurred not long ago bear
