ice pack she steamed as rapidly as possil}
until she reached almost 10 degrees of mort
latitude, when ice drove her back. Aft{
endeavOring to find another passage tt
Frithjof was obliged, on September Ia,
give up the attempt, as new ice was form
ing of a thickness Of seven inches in twei
ty-four hours.
Mr.. Champ said it was just possible thu
the America might be able to release hei
self during October; but probably she wou,
not be heard from until next year. He b.
heved. however, that the members of u
expedition were amply supplied with pr
visions and other neceSSaries, and TN,
there was no reason for much anxiety co.
corning them.

dentially remained. to tell us otherwise
For a few moments both Beatrice and
idris sat dumfounded at this startling
theory.
BY heaven. I believe you are right. y
cried Idris. And yet this murder theory
OF yours Is open to objection. There Is the
dimculty OF conveying dead body to Orm-

Ihat is my View, replied Godfrey, "for
there are signs which seem to point to that
conclusion
What signs are they?" asked Idris
You Will perhaps think my first rea-

was placed? Now let us suppose that some
one standing at that point was suddenly
STRUCK s, down from behind; his natural ac-
ton In falling would be to clutch at the

men In his case would be the tap

just so; and that is my way of ac-
counting for the tearing of that fabric
ana the downward curvature Of the rod to
i Whlch 1t was attached. The tapestry at
tne same time became saturated with the
blood of the victim"
Your opinion seems reasonable" re-
marked Idris. except as regards the d.
vlning rod; l can't believe that dried blood
couid produce such an effect. But the diff
hcuity remains-what has become of the
Vikings bones?''
And to this question Godfrey could give
no satisfactory answer.
When do you think this murder took
place. ldris asked. I'm our own days, or
long before them?"
II see no way at present of fixing the
date, Godfrey replied.
IT may have been twenty, fifty. or a
hundred years ago, or even more" VEN
tured Idris.
ANY period since the era of the dis
covery of platinum answered Godfrey.

Godfrey shook his head

connected with the runic ring-his father,
Lorelies father. the unknown assassin of
Duchesne. and lastly the masked man of
Quilaix.
Whoever the victim was" said Beatrice,
slowly and thoughtfully 'he must have
been murdered by a woman"
"A woman." calculated Idris. He could
not tell why at that moment a cold feel
ing should come over him.
"a woman" repeated Beatrice, solemn
ly: "for l still adhere to my belief that

PLENTY WATER AT HEADING

rcrial Valley. This waste gate was de. sigu'd e get rid ui surplus water.
 The Old channel at ihr heal is badly siltcd up, and if this were the only point from winch water could be se. cured, should consider tlu chauce for this winter very gloomy, and would ad- wise lInited planting, but the situation is very different At the lower cut.
 Here l found a channel already dug fully sixty feet wide and six feet deep throughout, and an additional fOOt in depth will probably be gained as soon as a full head of water runs through it and washes out the loose mud in the bottom.
 About $500 feet from the river this cut enters the main canal where II is nine to eleven feet deep, and has fall sufficient to carry the water five feet per sec md, and where not only has no scdi- ment ever accumulated, but the water has cut the canal three to six fee, deep cr than it was originally dng from here to the waste gate, eight miles.
 was disappointed that the water moved as slow as 1t did through this 2 300 foot cut, but since il is only n little over half-mile long, and connects with the deep channel referred to above the bottom of which is at least a foot or two lower than the deepest place in the river Opposit" the entrance. it would srcm to me 10 be well witiin the capac- iiy of the diprer dredg. now at work to deepen and widen this 3,3D0 feet tn any size that could possibly be required the coming winter; this being the only place whefe work would be necessary during the low water period.
 Therefore l would give it as my opinion that with reasonable diligence and energy with the machinery now at hand, widening, deepening and cleaning tlis channel, sufficient water can be put through it at the lowest water to meet all requirements and that the Imperial farmer can plant is crops with the ASSURANCE that, barring accidents that may happen to the distributing system, they will be able to get water when Il is nce,l.d the coming winter.
 We Lave water at tie minimum rate from now to Jan. l let every one make tie best possible u-e of it and show his faith in the Imperial Valley 10 his neighbors and visiting friends.
 There will be little need for a railroad to San Diego and less possibility of get ting one, if we do not bring back pros perity to our country, so let us put our shoulder to the wheel, tell the disturb CTS to be quiet and if the <.
