Town of Sioux Falls EnjOincd From
Issuing Water Bonds.

~" VI SAoGA CuyO1nSu
sui Water Bonds.
The South Dakota Water company.
which owns the water plant in Sioux
Falls, has begun to show It's teeth in
the fight against the city owning its
own plant. Several days ago the banks
of Sioux Falls received a letter from
the American Water Works and GUAR
antee company. whose officers, by the
way, are the same as those OF the
South Dakota Water company, warn
ing said banks against purchasing the
$780, 900 of bonds recently voted by the
city Of Sioux Falls. They also notified
the receivers Of the letters hat they
would do everything in their power to
prevent the city installing a municipal
water system. The first legal move on
the part of the water company was
taken Saturday afternoon, when attor-
neys for the water company filed a suit
in the United States court, in which the
Farmers Loan n Trust company Of
New York asks for an order restrain
ing the city from issuing the bonds.
The trust company files the complaint
as trustee for the bondholders Of the
South Dakota Water company, under
the mortgage of $500. 900 on the plant.
The complaint sets up that the install
la / of a city plant would practically
mea a c~onf1scation of their property.
1t also sets up that the city has far cx-
ceeded it's constitutional limit of in
~debtedness. and that 1t has no right to
issue the bonds for that reason. On
the question of selling the plant. the
company alleges it's willingness to sub
nit to an appraisement and to sell at a
price fixed by the arbitrator appoint
ed under the terms Of the agreement
with the city.
Arguments on the motion to make
the temporary injunction permanent
will probably be heard before Judge
John Il. Garland in the United States
court the first Monday in January.

= Maj. Goddard spent all the next day
in the city busy over some legal mat
tiers connected with his recent losses.
He missed his usual train and was
forced to take one an hour later. In
consequence Of this delay it was dark
when he arrived home. The drawing
room was lighted, and through the
window he saw Blanche and his pri-

day he had been worrying over his
wife's recent moroseness, and he did
not want to lose moment before

but with no better results; then he

Then he remembered that the door.
was the only outlet from the roomsto

no light to be seen-through the key
hole he half persuaded himself that
Jeanne had dressed and gone down.

CHAPTER III.

Il was nine o'clock when Goddard
reached the city. Immediately on
leaving his train he engaged hanson
and was driven over to Fifth avenue
and up that thoroughfare to the Pal
ace hotel.
By temperament he was given to in
trospection and an almost morbid
habit of analysing his feelings, es-
pecially when his feelings were hurt.
Tonight his emotions had crowded
him into an attitude of deep self-pity.
He told himself that no man had ever
suffered as keenly as he was suffer-
ing.
The cab took him past the building
of which the second floor had been
occupied by Jeanne's fashionable es-
Enlistment when he had met her,
fallen under her inexplicable charm
and married her hurriedly. It was
now with feeling bordering on sus-
picion that he saw the brown stone
walls of the unlighted structure fit
by. He remembered how she had
made him faithfully promise that he
was never to ask her about her past
connections. She had wept copiously
at this juncture and he had somehow
gathered that her relatives had be-
longed to such humble walks in life
that she dreaded the loss of his love
it he were to come in contact with
them. He. had laughed at such an
idea, but in the years of Jeanne's rigid
silence on the subject this very mys-
terry had heightened her charm in his
eyes.
He alighted from the hanson under
the arched portico in the flare of
lights about the entrance of the Pal
ace hotel and went into the commo-
dious Office, which was at the juncture
of two long corridors filled with we'll
dressed men and women seated in big
chairs or strolling about. Strains of
music from Hungarian orchestra
filled the air and there was afloat an
odor which emanated from Turkish
smoking-room, where dim. sensuous
lights burned under massive shades of
crimson silk. AS he threaded his way
to the counter behind which stood
the clerks of the house he had a queer
feeling in his knees as If he had been
sitting too long in a cramped position
in the train. How strange for him to
ask to be conducted to the room of
his own wife! At that moment she
seemed quite separated from him.
my wife'is here, believe" he said
to one of the clerks.
What is the name. please?" asked
the man.
Mrs. Goddard" replied the major.
The clerk consulted big book of
entries with penciled remarks oppo-
site the names

Goddard" he said. But your wife
