by that fierce rush of the tide, and as
he Kisses across the table. his usually
suave countcnance takes on the ex-

The crisis is at hand.
Thanks to his long training. Jack
knows just how to meet such an emer-

the table, and supports his head care

What might that be. senor?' he
smiles.

your life."
With these words the fiery Castil-
ian suddenly produces a revolver and
presents 1t at the head Of his COM
panion. 1t Is so close that Jack can
look into the chambers and see the
leaden messengers snugly ensconced,
and awaiting the signal to go forth.
He sees something more.
"Ahai you do not finch. You are
man of nerve; but that shall not save
you. See the clock yonder is about to
strike the half-hour. When 1t sounds
I shall fire. This day which has seen
the charming Jessie wife shall also
see her widow" and his manner de-
clares that regardless of consequences
Roblado is bent on revenge.
"Ah, senor, you have been in Ameri-
ca, in Cuba and learned of their
ways; but there is one thing you seem
to have forgotten which no cowboy in
Texas ever omits-that is, to pull
back the hammer of your gun before
you shoot"
The Spaniard gives cry of bitter
chagrin, and draws back his arm to
remedy the fault, when Jacks foot
flies up from the side of the table, and
the pointed toe of his boot coming in
contact with Roblado'c wrist, the in
stantaneous result is revolver whirl-
ing across the apartment
A snarl OF rage from the senior
"Sit you down. sir" says Jack. calm

his voice that has an effect on Rob

influenced more by the sight of a little
shining weapon which Jack has taken
from the drawer of the table, and the
hammer of which Is drawn back.
Roblado is not madman, therefore
he refrains from rushing on certain
death.

into his chair. picture of unutterable
fury.

A sparkle Of cunning flashes into the
eyes of the don; he has suddeny re-

game appears lost, he has winning
card up his sleeve.
The girl!
She is in his power-she believes
in his affection for her. and will do
what he says.
You seem to run this game as you
see fit, Senior Jack. Tell me what you
propose doing in the way Of terms

The Spaniard smiles coldly. As he
realizes the power OF his one trump

now reinforced by a desperate hatred
for this man, who has played with him
as a cat does with a mouse. He can
never forgive such humiliation.

COSTLY LIGHTING SERVICE

At the present rate for street lighting the service
will cost this city for the coming $145557. The
number Of lamps will be increased already provided
by the city council from 1897 to 1897 addition an
even 300. The cost figure given includes the addi-
tional lamps. 1t like figure to pay

city to provide it's plant cannot be realized until
the Owens water aqueduct is finished four five years

In view of these circumstances the city may be at

the people now at the mercy of the gas monopoly
There three strong local corporations engaged in
the electric light and power business, but 1t is under
stood that they operate under pool system by which
they avoid injurious competition.
When the greater water supply system is perfected
the city will have the means Of supplying extensive

TWO FEDERAL BUILDINGS

Fresh promise is given of early activity in work on
the federal building in this city. Preliminary plans
of the structure have just been received from Washing
ton for the inspection of local government officials.
The sketches in hand relate only to structural arrange
and give idea Of the finished effect The floor
plans shown, subject to alteration, and the
design calls for a sixstory steel frame building
That is about the extent of the information impaired
by sketches The supervising architect of the treas
ury department is expected to arrive in Los Angeles
October when the first practical step in the
structon work may be taken.
How will the proposed Los Angeles federal building
compare when completed with the splendid structure
that is the architectural focus of San Francisco?
comparison is likely to be anything but pleasing to the
people of the Southern California metropolis In the
place the appropriation for the San Francisco fed
eral building nearly three times the figure
available for the Los Angeles for
the former and s850OOO for the latter There is hope
for an increase to least 100000 of appropria-
ton for the local building, but that is uncertain.
The San Francisco federal building is said to be-
in the opinion of experts "he best constructed public
building in country the matter of interior effect
it is described as beautiful than that of any other
public building in the United States" Interior photo
graphic views attest the correctness of the claim. An
idea of the gorgeous finishing is given in this descrp
ton:
"The marble walls of the main corridor are of the
beautiful italian pavonozzo, white strongly vened in
black with base Of verde antique, and capped with
green Maryland. The floor is of ceramic tling in in
tricatey beautiful designs"
And here is a sample Of the magnificent rooms: "The
most superb" says the Sunset Magazine, "are those
assigned Judge Morrow of the United States circuit
court which represent outlay of $75OOO The rooms
contain marbles which alone worth $50,000"
How will the Los Angeles federal building "stack
up" in comparison with the San Francisco example of
lavish expenditure for gorgeous effect?

A MONUMENT TO BAD MANAGEMENT

More than year and half ago provision made
by congress for the construction Of the Panama canal
Now we have the news from the isthmus that 'it will
be the beginning of next before the present
ganzaon plans of Mr. shonts and Mr. Stevens show any
effect"
Apparently the completed canal is farther away
than it when congress passed the enabling act.
1t generally understood at the time the act
passed that lock canal plan had been determined
upon. Today the engineers discussing the basic
question whether they shall dig lock ditch to
level And President Roosevelt has just been in
prolonged consultation with members of the canal
mission and the engineers presumably with the object
of settling that point
Nothing but disappointment has been realized thus
far from the bright expectation that followed the start
given by congress to the canal project. The work
accomplished during the long interval since the socaed
beginning Of it has hardly equaled the snailike prog
Of the French company.
The changes that have occurred in the general man.
agement ample evidence of incompetency and the
revelations of close approach to grating by trusted
officials have tended to destroy public confidence.
The energy and determination of President Roose-
vet potent they have been in some other lines Of
public affairs appear to be feeble in the effort to make
dirt fly the isthmus. He has almost absolute con-
troll of the construction work under the special authority
delegated to him by congress, and direct responsibility
for the prosecution Of the work rests upon him. But
the fact is papable that his energy has produced
visible results thus far The reports from the sthmus
discouraging in every feature The situa
ton gives no satisfactory promise that the canal will
be in service within the next of years.
1t Is stupendous task that the United States has
undertaken at the isthmus, but that is too
large for the nation that has tackled the job The
Panama canal will be accomplished fact in tme
the only question being the age of the twentieth
tury when the first vessel passes the isthmus
But is there any reasonable hope that the work will
be fairly started within the three and half years
naming of President Roosevelt's term?
Dealing with the facts they. appear today,
rastng the present situation with the aluring promise
of an isthman canal within eight years, it is
glarngy apparent that the whole project is thus far
nothing but monument to bad management.
