water to flow from the reservoir at
the same time The pressure under
such circumstances would be about
100 pounds.
The people want water at as little
expense as possible. The scheme Of
the Taxpayers league and the insur-
ance companies involves a great ex-
penditure. New mains, new pumps,
a reservoir on expensive ground and
protection for the Second ward alone
are their plans.
The entire city is entitled to the
same protection as the Second ward
The entire city will have to foot the
bill. The laborer, the resident or the
business man living out of the Sec
ond ward will reap little benefit
from the proposed reservoir. Yet
they will have to do their part to-
ward paying for it.

solved.

instances where he had been of as
sistance to young and distressed femi-
ninity. At any rate, it was clearly
necessary that something should be
done. 1t was equally clear that he
was the man to do it. He would do
his best. -.
Steadying himself by the chairs, for
the train was running at the rate Of
go miles an hour, Merrick went for
ward.
Il beg your paron, senora," said he,
pausing at the young woman's elbow
'.Habla Espanola?"
Isl. senor," replied the distressed
one, with a perfect accent, and an up
ward sweep of her long lashes.
Merrick, having reached the end Of
his Spanish vocabulary, sat down upon
the arm of the opposite chair and
gazed in respectful silence at the love-
ly foreigner, who flushed slightly
turned her back upon the intruder,
and looked steadily out the window.
Merrick inwardly cursed his untu-
tored tongue. Why, why had he
chosen shorthand? Suddenly he had
an inspiration. He leaned forward:
"Parlez vous Francais?"
"Oui, monsieur" replied the lady
looking at him expectantly.
Thunder! I wish l did," calculated
Merrick. "Avez vous-oh, thunder!"
''You might try English" suggested
the lady, displaying dimple.

could see that at glance. The oval
olive cheek, the long black hshes, the
dark eyes and the masses of blue
black hair all proclaimed her foreign
nationality.
Merrick studied the various labels
on her satchel, but could make out
only the word ''Rico."
Clearly she was from Porto Rico,
and Spanish was her native tongue.
He remembered, with a pang, that he
had once thought seriously Of taking
up Spanish. He was suddenly filled
with regret for having decided in favor
of shorthand.
He looked wistfully ut the young
woman, who was certainly anything
but comfortable. Perhaps some one
she had expected had failed to put in
an appearance. Possibly she was il

Merrick had always said that he
should marry when he should reach
the mature age Of 80. He had only six
months left, and he was still unat-

His income had reached satisfac-
tory figure, he was not without other
attractions, and he felt that the time
had come for him to settle down for
life.
He did not believe in long engage
ments. Four months, he decided has
tily, would be ample. That would leave
nearly eight weeks for the courtship.
Perhaps, indeed, he could manage TO
do with less. He looked across the
table at the dimple and decided that
he could manage with very much less.
Never had he encountered such an en-

SHOULD BUILD RESERVOIR
WHERE II WILL BENEFIT
ALL PARTS OF THE CITY

without any consideration for the
rest Of the city the business men in
the Second ward, backed by the
chamber OF commerce and the Tax
Dayers' league. have endorsed the
proposition to erect a reservoir on
the hill near Ninth avenue and Di-
vision street. The enormous expense
Involved is not considered a great
deal by these men, as the burden will
be distributed over the whole city.
The insurance companies want a
great force OF water on hand for the
Second ward, where they have the
heaviest insurance.
The plan as proposed by them re-
QAires new mains and new pumps.
The Press has always stood for a
reservoir as the only solution Of the
water question. But this reservoir
sAould be Of service to the entire
city. 1t should not be for the Second
ward alone.
The reservoir should be at the
pumping station SO as to give an
even pressure all over the city. A
Al. 000, 00-gallon reservoir could be
built at the pumping station for
about 100000. There would be no
new mains necessary. No new pumps
would be necessary. II the reservoir
vas built on ~ high ground as pos
oible near the water works there
would be a pressure OF SO pounds
n the city hall. The pumps should
~ made to pump directly into the
reservoir and the mains carry the
water from the reservoir to the city.
The pumps could be worked to their
utmost capacity all the time. They
would not have to shut down during
the night.
The pumps now In use have a
capacity of 1880 600 gallons day.
They had not pumped within 5000. 900
salons a day OF this for some time.
with this 100000 gallons Of water
