IA diamond mine! How extraordi-
narily romantic! 1t was Just like a
fairy story!
Good looking! I had only a glimpse
Of her, but she's a blooming beauty"
"O!" said lisa softly. She had a
queer, tight sensation at her throat.
She had never been Jealous Of any one.
But this man had been her slave-her
shadow-for the last four weeks. His
alteration had been public and pro-
nounced. He had seemed to rejoice in
his servitude. And she-child that she
was-had been flattered by the devo-
ton of this well-groomed, cynical man
Of the world. Now he was looking be-
yond her with half-closed, calculating
eyes.
At the hop that night Mrs. Devere
was the center Of attraction, the bright
particular star in the presence Of
which all lesser luminaries paled, quite
Intellectual fires. Her mature form was
strikingly, almost Electrically, attired.
A trailing robe of black satin swirled
around her feet. The daringly low cut
bodice, glittering with jet, restrained
the audacious press Of full-breathed
beauty The artistically tinted COM
plexion Of face that had beensbeauti-
full in its youth, the l%anguishing Orien-
tai eyes, the black hair, sparkling with
jewels-jewels which were genuine
enough to the people surrounding her
made up quite a stunning picture.
"a palace In Russia!" murmured
one.
'"The proprietor requests her incog-
nito be respected" said another.
Diamond mines-think Of it,"
gasped a third.
II hear she speaks seven l~anguages!"
"Only four trunks. but ten are to
follow"
"a maid? No. Just an eccentricity
Of royalty!"
All. but the two weeks that followed
were a golden fortnight in the life Of
Cora Dobson! Such a train Of admir-
ers as followedin erwake. The dances
at the hotel which she honored by her
presence were packed to s~uffocation5
with visitors from other resorts. She
ignored or denied haughtily any refer
ence to her exalted station. This re-
ticence but c~orroborated the umor

The Chinese have never made any

true, but those who tried found it al

they consider either race especially
prone to suicide. but there are natural
objections to their being considered
good risks.
There are but three American life

REMEDY FOR ALcA.
CLEAR WATER RESERVOIR TO BE
| COVERED 10 EXCLUDE LIGHT.

CLEAR WATER RESERVOIR TO BE
COVERED TO EXCLUDE LIGHT.
The sea weed, alga has become so
troublesome that the water department
was compelled to adopt some remedy
for 1t. The alga grew even In the
clear water reservoir. where the filter
water is stored. 1t spoiled the water,
therefore. which had been filtered, to
some extent.
:. There are three remedies. One is q
limestone bottom for the reservoir,
which is not hospitable for the growth.
Another is a solution of lime or pow
dered limestone in the bottom of the
reservoir.
The objections to both of these reme-
dies is that they are not only expen-
s1ve. but they make the water hard.
Neither one, therefore, was considered
to be suitable for use here The house
wives would not relish the hard water.
because 1t requires larger quantity
of soap than soft water, and nobody
would like the expense.
The treatment resorted to, therefore,
to prevent the sea weed Is to cover the
reservoir to exclude the light. The al
ga will not form or grow in the dark
The area of the reservoir is $4,000
square feet. 1t contains over 1900 900
gallons of water, and it will require
about 10000 feet of common lumber
boards to cover 1t. Mr.. E. Patterson
has the contract, and the work of COW
ering the reservoir will begin at once.
