A heavy gloom settled upon Brew
STEERS face, and the girls heart dropped
like lead. She had puzzled over the
enlargement and wondered il by any
effort of her own things could be set
right. At times she had had flashing
hopes that it did not mean as much to
Monty as she had thought, but down
underneath, the fear that he was I'M

in life. She felt that she must make
sure. And together with the very hui

Brewster's face Peggy seemed to read
that for her martyrdom was the only

Monty, 1 forget nothing that real

you are quite wrong. Where is your
sporting blood? You have never fought
losing fight before, and you can't do
it now. You have lost your nerve,
Monty. Don't you see that this is the,
time for an aggressive campaign"
Somehow she was not saying things at

her. you don't mind, do you, Monty"

But Monty did mind enormously. He
had no desire to talk about the thing
anyway, and Peggy's anxiety to marry
him of seemed bit unnecessary. Man
ifestly her own interest in him was Of
the coolest. From out Of the gloom he
looked at her somewhat sullenly. For
the moment she was thinking only Of
his pain. and her face said nothing.

senting the necessity of answering her,

discovered that girls say many things
to hide their emotions. Perhaps you
don't realize what feverish, exclamato-

RESERVOIRS GUAeE RIVER.
Report Shows Remarkable Work on
the Upper Mississippi

Dubuque, July 25.-The five govern.
ment reservoirs at the headwaters of
the Mississippi river held nearly 76,.
OO0,OOO,OOO cubic feet of water on June
20, accordingto the annual report of
the United States Engineering corps
This Is an increase of nearly 24,O0O,.
100000 cubic feet over the amount in
storage on June 80, 1904. The report
also states that the lock cofferdam had
been completed and other arrange.
ments made for commencing work of
excavating for lock and dam No. be.
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis. AS
soon as the water gets low enough to
allow work to be done operations will
be commenced.
The report says that the reservoir
system was built by the government
primarily for the benefit of navigation
IN the Mississippi and incidentally to
mitigate floods The system is operated
by impounding the waters in excess of
the natural low water flow at times
when this excess is not needed for nav
igation, and releasing during the low
water season on navigation such vol
ume of water as will maintain the
guage at st. Paul at constant height as
much above low water as the available
water in storage will permit
With judicious and economical use
of the reservoir it is quite practical
to keep the guage at st. Paul from
falling below three feet, whereas at
various times the guage has registered
as low as or feet. The total amount
expended on reservoir work up to June
80 was s1,307, S0297, of which amount
$12,S55.57 was spent the last year.

CHAPTER XVI.

Y I was the cottage of New York
millionaire which had fallen to
Brewster. The owner had, for the
a time, preferred Italy to st. Angus
tine and left his estate, which was
we'll located and lavishly equipped, in
the hands of his friends. Brewster's
lease covered three months, at fabu-
lous rate per month. With Joe Brag-
don Installed as manager in chief, his
establishment was transferred bodily
from New York, and the rooms were
soon as comfortable as their grandeur
would permit. Brewster was not al
lowed to take advantage Of his horses
and the new automobile which preced-
ed him from New York, but to his
guests they offered unlimited opportu-
mites.
hopper Harrison had remained in the
north to renew arrangements for the
now hated ball and to look after the
advance details Of the yacht cruise.
DR.. Lotless and his sister, with Sub
way Smith and the Grays, made up
Brewster's party, Lotless dampened
Monty's spirits by relentlessly putting
him on rigid diet, with most discourag-
ing restrictions upon his conduct. The
/ period Of convalescence was to be an
exceedingly trying one for the invalid.
At first he was kept indoors, and the
hours were whiled away by playing
cards, but Monty considered bridge
the pons asinorum and preferred to
play piquet with Peggy. It was one
Of these games that the girl interrupt

only one out OF every 9S has per-

But the nerves that. unguided and

it has been arranged for the presi-

BUILDING BOOM
IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, April New YorA
has never witnessed such a building
boom as is now in progress. There

ing up as there were a few months
ago, but the building of houses, espe-
cially in Brooklyn and outlying sec
lions that can or will be reached
easily when the numerous transporta.
ton facilities now planned are pro-
vided. is tremendous. Last year, up
to this time, buildings of an aggre>
gate value of $4,000, 900 had been
planned in Manhattan and the Bronx.
During the corresponding period Of
this year the total Is s23,5O0, 900. In
building operations last year was the
biggest Brooklyn had ever known. the
estimated cost of new buildings for
the first 10 weeks being S3,500,oo0.
The corresponding figures OF this
year show the tremendous total of
$1,000, 900.
In addition to private building.
municipal improvements are being
carried out on large scale, and with
the tunnels being built by the Penn
sylvania railroad. the Blackwell's
island and Manhattan bridges. the
vast schemes of the Rapid Transit

man out of a job will have an excuse
for not working.
