"What on earth are you doing heref"
the way proved to be much greater
than even they had anticipated. for
the two great rivers had at last bro
ken over their banks and their waters
were already spreading over the face
Of the land. The country through
which the road ran was slightly roll
ing. The small hillocks were secure
from overflow at any time, but the low
lying spaces between them were al
ready under water. the depth of which
varied from a few inches to two or
three feet. The soft earth Of the
roadbed was now mere quagmlre,
through which the horses laboriously
dragged tho wagons hub deep in mud.
Worse still were those stretches OF
road which had been cordurOyed with
logs, for there some of the logs were
floating out of place and some were
piled on top of those that were still
held fast In the mud.
In dragging the wagons through the
mud reaches 1t was necessary to stop
every few minutes to give the horses
q breathing spell. On the corduroy
stretches It was often necessary to
stop for half an hour or more at time.
Thus the caravan moved slowly on
ward, with many haltings and much OF
WEAKNESS.
It was midnight when at last the
aare OF the torches told Barbara that
the journey was done. Not knowing
whittier the wagons should be taken.
Barbara babe Bob find Duncan.
When the young man heard ST Bar
bara's arrival he and Dick Temple
hurried to her, full of apprehension
lest the journey and the exposure
should have made her Ill, and fuller
still of fear that the conditions OF life
In the camp might prove to involve
more of hardship than she could bear.
For the first tinse In his life Gullford
Duncan felt like seolding.
"What OH earth are you doing here,
Barbara he asked, and before ne
could add anything to the question she
playfully answered:
Just now I'm waiting for you to tell
the teamsters where to drive the wag-
ons."
"But, Barbara
"Neyer mind the rest of your scold-
ing. I've already rehearsed 1t In my
Imagination till know 1t all by heart
forward and backward. Tell the men
where the cooking place Is"
But what are we to do with you In
all this flood and mud and In the inces-
SAINT rain?"
"Just let me alone while / help In
earnest as you said In your dispatch
that you wanted me to do. You tele.
graphed me that you wanted two good
cooks, SO here we are, Bob and l, for
really Bob has learned to cook as well
as / can. only wonder you didn't
send for us sooner"
A little while later Bob and the two
negro women who had hitherto done
the cooking went out among the men
at work, bearing great kettles OF
steaming coffee for the refreshment OF
the we'll nigh exhausted toilers. Bob
accompanied bis share Of the coffee dis
tribution by little speech:
"Dar now! OATS coffee as Is, an It's
hot an strong too. Little Missile done
mex It VIII her own hams, and she's de
lady wot sens It to you. She's done
come out inter de wilderness jes' to
cook victuals fer you men, and you Jes'
bet yer bottom dollar you'll git
breakfas' In the mawnin'."
Realizing the situation and stimuiat-
ed by their deep drafts Of coffee. the
men set up cheer for Little Missile"

San Francisco, May 3.-The medical
department Of the regular army has
been putting into practice the exper-
lence gained In cpmps established on
the Atlantic coast during the Spanish
American war. The surgeons and as
sistants who attended the dying and
sick when typhoid fever and other mal-
aides decimated the regiments In camp
have been safeguarding the health Of
San Francisco's stricken thousands
ever since the earthquake, and sani-
tary regulations have been provided in

taught during that period. AS n part
OF the general system OF general re-
lief. there has beer established on the

A detail OF hundred men, under
command of Captain Gilchrist, consti-
tutes the administrative force The
hospital has now a capacity Of 800 pa
TENTS altho but eighty have been re-
celved to date. A consignment OF odor-
less excavator troughs, which are
pronounced the highest type OF sanitary
convenience, has been received. Every
effort Is being made by the health COM
mission to concentrate the hospital
work at as few points as possible and
az rapidly as patients from the smaller

the double purpose OF concentrating
the work and at the same time per-
mtttinr scores OF physicians. who until
now have been giving all their tlme
ard attention to this work to give
some thought to their own Interests.
Twenty-six drug stores In the dis-
Itrict not wiped out by the nre were
decided upon yesterday by the neaith
commission as locations for free dis-
pensaries, where all physicians pre-
scriptions will be filled free OF charge.
The commercial banks belonging to
the Clearing House Association nave
arranged to open for new or special
business. The arrangement Is to re-
ceiye all deposits that customers may
desire to make on new accounts.
The savings banks are most anxious
10 resume business, but are unwilling
to teopardize the interests of their de-
positors by opening vaults before II

within the past 72 hours there have
been 57e safes and vaults opened IN
the business districts. In not more

dollars worth OF accounts. The city
government yesterday began the work
nf having out April salaries to en-
ployes, adding nearly 100000 to the
currency in circulation.
While 1t Is difficult to give exact
figures as to losses and insurance IN
connection with the fire. close esti-
mates have been compiled which show
the actual property loss to the city IS
close to $350,00G,000.
