are unequaled for residence and
durability. We utilize all the latest
improvements, besides special de-
vices of our own. Endless wires
located within the rubber at high
tension securely hold the rubber in
the channel. The shape of the
rubber and channel prevents the
side wear and cutting so common
in most other tires, while the patent
projecting convex fange effectually
protects the felloe from injury, be-
sides presenting a neat and tasty
appearance. They cannot come off
or get out of the channel.

time and as soon as the seasons floods

work at Assouan. The man who is to

Benjamin Baker, whose name, is al
ready associated with many great en-
terprises. Sir Benjamin is himself
ready to start for Assouan,s where he
will assume personal direction of the
undertaking. In discussing the matter
a few days ago, he hazarded the pre-
diction that the beginning of the goth
century the first steamer would pass
through the locks into the reservoir, on
its way to the upper Nile. Whatever
difficulties may be encountered in the
work, it probably will not take SO long
as it has for the khedive and his
French advisers to make up their
minds to sanction it.
In the industrial world the big en-
terprise is attracting a great deal Of
attention, but to the average reader
the chief interest of the dam is not in

BY C r HOLDER.

The recent ordering Of troops to the
Dry Tortugas, Fla. recalls a curious
incident in which a boy prevented the
escape Of prisoners and performed a
humanitarian act, which was greatly
misunderstood at the time and aroused
no little comment in the press of the
day.
At the time mentioned the island of
Dry Tortugas was used as great
prison, and bounty jumpers, deserters
and prisoners of all classes were con-
fined there TO the number of several
thousands.
The island is but Is acres in extent,
surrounded by a wide and deep moat,
which made it almost impossible for
prisoners to escape, yet every time a
vessel came into the harbOr one or more
men would make the attempt. Obtain
ing ropes they would lower themselves
into the moat from a portfolio, swim
across the ditch and try to pass out
the tide gate, despite the fact that sem
tries paced up and down on every face
and kept Watchful vigilance, with or
deTs TO fire and call the guard. Several
prisoners did escape the sharp eyes Of
the guards by swimming and lodging
under water when passing the sentinel
Reaching the tide gate, they would
dive again, swim to the channel. and in
the darkness climb aboard the steamer
lying there and conceal themselves.
But all were not successful. Several
unfortunate men dropped into the ditch
from the rope and We're found drowned
the following morning. The guards

to pay for two girls instead of one, if
we were d little economical. She want
ed to do it, and she would do it; she
just brought me along.
Her family and mine knew all
about it, of course, but she didn't tell
anybody else, and she wouldn't let me.
And she made me promise not to tell
anything about it here. either. She
said it wasn't anybody's business, but
l knew what she thought. She didn't
want any of you girls TO know she was
doing it, because she never wants to
take any credit for anything; and she
thought, besides, that l should take q
better position here if nobody knew
but that had money of my own.
:. I wanted to see if Miss Chase could
not give me work part of the time,
housework or anything. l didn't care
what. so long as could earn part of
my expenses and save Kate that much.
Kate wouldn't have it. She said L
would have studying enough to do,
without anything else. She said she
honors, and that she was doing it, and
she was going to do it, and do it her
own way.
Now, how do you think felt said
Phoebe Williams. when you called
Kate Stilwell stingy? If she has been
saving, she has had to be, and now
you know why. I don't believe she
cared what you thought, for she's
above it; but l cared. Kate Stilwell
is the best girl in this school, and the
noblest and the dearest; and I've brok-
en- my promise to her not to tell, and 1
don't care, will tell. And oh. girlsr

vice president, and don't think she
means to. either. The contributions are
voluntary. Of course, but don't you
think she's rather mean?'
OF course. said Louise, and
thought she was rather mean the other
day, too. Molly Orr was going to throw
away q wicker table she'd had in her
room till she'd got tired of it, and Kate
StilWen offered her % cents for it, AID
took it. The idea! Why didn't she
buy a new one? She must have plenty
of money: Why, look a her dresses;
they're lovely.
." That's the funny part of it. She's
from Hawley, said Sara, and there is
a Stilwen in Hawley that owns the
paper mills there, and he's rich; and I
think il is her father, Milo z. Hawley.
Papa has had business with him.
Why, then, it's a sort of mania,
her being so Stingy, isn't it?' said
Louise. Something like kleptomanian

up to the subject of Kate Stilwell pur-
posely. What's. her fathers name?'
said she.
Milo, said Phoebe.
He owns the paper mills in Haw-
ley, doesn't hep said Louise.
Yes said Phoebe.
Well said Louise, as we went
along, then she must be richer than
Ruth Morrill,; and think how Ruth is,
just as generous and lovely as she can
be- I was afraid Phoebe Williams
might hear her. and I looked around,
and l knew she had, for she was look
ing at us hard, and she was real red
in the face. Girls that come from the
same town always stand up for each
other, of course; but Phoebe Williams
swore by Kate StilwelI, anyhow; any
body could see that.
"Well, Kate got up a perfect reputa-
ton for stinginess. She was so open
about it. She didn't seem to care if
everybody knew she was stingy, nor
what anybody thought OF course, if
we had thought she was scrimped for

water with its tail, and at one time
taking the cutwater in its jaws and
shaking it as a cat would a mouse.
Finally, after several hours of hard
work, and with the assistance of many
men, the shark, which was at least
Is feet in length, was hauled over the
tide bridge, the surgeons son cut out
the hook, and with a swirl of its big
tail the monster went dashing away.
This shark was dubbed the provost

"Well, we couldn't do anything just
that minute, because when we looked
around for Kate Stilwell she was gone;
she'd escaped. But afterwards, you can
just imagined We didn't apologize to
Kate in so many words. for when Sara
and Louise tried to tell her how sorry
they were about that mean verse, she
wouldn't let them. She said if she'd
really been as stingy as they thought
she was that sheswouldn't have blamed
them. But there are lots of ways for
girls to show it, you know, when they
like a girl and admire her. and want
her TO know it. 1 don't believe there
was a girl in school that didn't do
something to let Kate Stilwell know
how fine she thought She was. Ruth
Morrill, couldn't hold in. She went and
bought her a silver belt, set with blue
stones. and she invited her to go TO the
Thousand islands this summer with
her and her people, and L suppose
they're there now. Ruth never does
things by. halves.
We liked Phoebe Williams after
that, too. We let her manage the dec

Miss Chase knew about Kate and
Phoebe or not, but / rather think
somebody told her all about it, for she

ton. She wore her white swans down,
but she locked handsome, just the
same. Sara and / LOUISE suppose they
felt guilty a littfs skill, for they gave
her great bunch of roses. and she
wore them. The general talked to her
more than to anybody. and she. played
some pretty things from Chopin during
the evening, and altogether Ruth Nor
rill said she didn't know whether it
was the generals reception or Kate
StilWens.
Sometimes after that, instead of
calling her Kate Stilwell. the girls
called her the stingiest girl but we
