This new story by Mary Devereux, author
of From Kingdom to Colony draws its
title from a pretty ~verselet of Longfellow's:
The ocean old,
Centuries old,
Strong as youth and uncontrolled,
PAGES restless to and fro,
Up and down the sands of gold"
The scene of the story is laid IN an Amer
lean seashore town, hence the titural allu-
sion to the ocean. The story opens on a hot
summer day, with a typical picture of a
New England coast village. '"The late July
fields sent up their dry fragrance to the
glowing sky, and across the meadows the
heat went rolling and rocking. mixed with
the scent of newly-cut grass, and then
reaching the shore, was lost in the sea.
out on one of the many rocky headlands
sat Doctor Jasper. Back of him the little
town receded to meet the hills, rising, tier
upon tier, far away TO the west. Below him
the Iichen-covered lodges fell. low and
lower, down to the sea, where the tide
just at the turn-was tossing and lifting
the thick growth Of olive green and
brown seaweed. and showing the brighter
colors of the undergrowing masses" This,

very original and strongly portrayed. are
equally suggestive of phases Of life found
only on or near the coast. The typical old
salt sea sailor never gets far away from
the ocean. even when he becomes aged and
land-bound. One of these tells early i'm the
story of an old-time friend of his: The
old deacon was a great character; that is,
after his own peculiar fashion. He was a
shining light in the Methodist Church here,

ticed for five years could obtain certifi-
Gates by making application before Jan.

Messrs. Anderson and Schooley have

member of the same church, for his
downfall. The result was newspaper
war between the two papers for some
months. Now they will contest for the
Office OF representative to see which is
the most popular man in the county.

TO INCREASE WATER SUPPLY.
Davenport Begins Work of EnIarsins
Its Water Works.

Davenport, Aug. 20.-Forty men,
twelve teams and two steam drills are
now busy at work, at the new reservoir
just east of the Davenport water works.
Ten thousand cubic feet of rock and
$4,000 cubic feet of earth have been re-
moved by the excavators and half as
much more will be added before the
work is completed. The river bank for
nearly 200 yards has been rip-rapped
with rocks taken from the excavation
andsthere is still a huge pile, which may
be crushed by steam crushers and used
in making concrete for the new basin.
The work will cost at least 100000 and
when completed will give Davenport q
supply of water that will last the city
twelve hours, and of purer quality than
the city has ever had.
Larger demands on the water supply
have caused the Davenport Water Com
pany to enlarge its capacity for furnish
ing the necessary amount. Two things
presented themselves to the company.
Either to increase the filtering plant y.
to build reservoir large enough TO par
TALLY purify the water by gravity, thus
decreasing the work that now has to be
done by the filters.
The latter plan was chosen and Su-
perintendent Hooper was put in charge
of the work. Altho as much speed as
possible has been used, the reservoir Is
still several weeks from being ready for
the concrete gang.
