'You needn't mind, but my name is
Bannister. We are staying here for
the rest Of the month. Goodnight"
He waved his hand and was gone.
The tramp leaned over gate, think
ing. He could see the chimneys Of the
house that had been his uncle's, the
house he had hoped would one day be
his own. 1t belonged to Charley Hud-
son now. So he had been told in the
town.
But Margaret had preferred him,
though some called him a ne'er-do-
we'll. Was it possible that she had been
waiting for him all these years?
The very thought made his heart
burn. 1t seemed impossible. 1t was
too much to expect from any girl. Yet
that man-what was his name? Ban
nister-he had seemed to think it quite
likely. He must find out. He must

the town must know what had become
of her.
Another thing-he must send back
that money to Bannister as soon
as possible. But how was he to ind
him? He knew the mans name, but
not his address; and he was only a
summer visitor. He might not be able
to repay the money for weeks. He
turned and began running after Ban
mister as well as his clumsy shoes
would let him. A little ahead there
was a bend in the road, and he felt
sure that once around that corner he
would catch sight of him.
He turned the corner, and saw Ban
MISTER but he was not alone. A girl
in light gray costume was coming
rapidly to meet him. Two children
darted from her side, and outrunning
her, threw themselves into their
fathers arms.
The two, the man and the woman
came close together. She held VI
her face, and he stopped and kissed

an absent lo7er., without word to
show that he yet cared for her. He
could have laughed at the idea OF any
woman waiting for the human wreck
at his side. He could have laughed at
the eager look on the mans half-savage
face as he put his absurd question.
But there was pathetic look IN the
brown eyes, and Bannister did not
laugh. AS he kept on looking the in
clination to laugh died away altogether.
Instead, he gave the answer that
seemed to him at the moment the only
possible one to give.

Jim Bannister jumped out of the
train, his black bag in his hand, and
his eyes went ranging up and down
the platform in search Of his wife and
children. They generally were there
to meet him when he came down from
town on Friday evening. Finding that
they were not visible, he left the sta
ton and took the road that led away
from the town and the harbor towards
the new suburb which had of late years
set up In business as watering place.
1t was cheap and healthy, and the boys
liked to 60 down to the harbor and
see the ships and talk to the sailors.
Bannister soon got our OF town, for
he was walking fast, but as the road
began to rise his pace became slower
till, as he neared the bend where the
road turned toward the cluster Of red
brick villas. he was going quite
leisurely.
A man was sitting on the stile at the
corner-a tramp, he seemed to be.
Bannister frowned. He was hard
working man himself, and he did not
like tramps--perhaps envied them a
little. His face assumed stern look
as he went along.
AS he approached the man got up
and came slowly toward him. Yes, he
was tramp; there could be no doubt

SHE WORE ONLY SANDALS.
Pittsburg Society Shocked at Emf.

It is not considered proper to enter
high society in Pittsburg without

without stockings at a reception given
by society women of the East End,

of the vocal department of instruc-
ton at fashionable musical school

Orchestra, has set the tongue of Cos

a battered soft felt hat; on his feet q

He stopped as he drew near the re-

he did not say a word. Bannister

the unspoken appeal was more elo-

awaken more people to the theory that
they have a right to prevent injury

INSURANCE
COMPANIES
ARE STANCH

Fire insurance companies will pay
their fire losses dollar for dollar.
That is, they will pay the actual loss
by fire to the property insured.
Rolla V. Watt, manager of the Royal
Insurance Company, says that all
losses will be adjusted on a basis fair
to the insured. 1t will be necessary
to segregate the loss occasioned by
the earthquake and that wrought by
the fire. The companies are pre-
pared, however, to meet all obliga-
tions The managers of the different
companies will meet today in Oakland,
when the situation will be thoroughly
discussed.
Owing to the great amount of loss
it is probable that payments will be
made in installments after thirty,
sixty, ninety and 120 days. This is
due to the fact that it will be impos-
sible for the companies to realize upon
their securities sufficiently fast to set
tie up at once the losses, which are
estimated from conservative stand
point to be about $200,000,000.
At the big meeting to be held today
the local and foreign companies will
unquestionably all act in conjunction
regarding both adjustments and pay
ment of losses.
The insurance companies have noti-
fled the Mayor that if any attempt
is made to build fires in any of the
houses in San Francisco except the
bakeries already authorized all insur
ance will be invalidated.

Food Is Also
Coming.

LOS ANGELES, April 22.-Among
the hundreds of carloads of assorted
provisions that are being sent out from
Los Angeles for San Francisco suf-
ferers are several carlots of lemons
and oranges. Manager Woodford of
the California Fruit Exchange has is
sued an appeal to fruit growers to
send large shipments of both lemons
and oranges at once. The lemons
especially. are desired for use in San
Francisco with the drinking water to
purify It and lessen the danger of any
possible epidemic from that source.
What is perhaps the largest COM
missary train in the world has been
rushed north over the Southern Pa
cific. from here. This huge restaurant,
destined TO cater to the hungry refu-
gees Of San Francisco. is the Shattuck
and Desmond mess" train outfit en-
larged to a guaranteed capacity of
10000 meals a day.
Supported by the local relief COM
mittees, this mammoth caravansary is
expected TO cost $4,000. 1t was made
up of. thirty cars, which are all kitch-
ems and pantries. Pulled by double
headed locomotives, this train is ex-
pected to be in Oakland in time to
serve early morning feasts TO all-com-
ers. 1t is expected to play an import
ant and extremely useful part in the
feeding of the hungry thousands.

use Of babies has been gathered by

arated points and also performed
deeds of mercy in carrying the
wounded to the hospitals, where they
could receive much needed surgical
attention. The men in charge OF the
machines showed marked skill in driv-
ing them at such high speed and amid
such tangle of wires and debris.
Considering the number in use it was
marvellous that there were no acci-
dents of any consequence.
The lowly bicycle nas also come
into it's own. The majority of the
men living in the district which was
not reached by the IRE brought out
their machines which have been idle
for. some years and have been fit
ting up and down the streets at a
merry pace. This style of loeomotion
they find superior to wa;zing, and the
utility of the bicycle is again brought
out in bold relief.
Coursing has been given a finishing
blow from which it will not recover
for some time. With the scarcity of
provisions the greyhounds have been
put on short rations, which do not
tend to racing condition. 1t is pos
sible the least valuable of the per-
formers will be destroyed, as their
earning capacity has ended.

ASKS PEOPLE
TO EC0N0MIZE
WITH WATER

Waste no water." is the impera-
tive order of the Relief Committee
of fifty representative citizens. This
is especially addressed TO all occu-
pants of houses in the Western Ad-
dition and Mission District. The sub
ject. was thoroughly discussed at the
general meeting of the committee yes
terday, when Mayor Scnmitz received
> reports from the various subcommit-
. tees that are working night and day
TO. restore a systematic order of af-
fairs. The purpose of special econ
omy for forty-eight hours in the use
Of water is to enable the Spring Val
ley Water Company to increase the
reservoir pressure needed to speedily
subdue flames should other fires oc-
cur.
Citizens are. specially warned by
. the authorities to light no fires in
their chimneys. In some instances
architects have made. inspection and
reported that it would be safe to light
fires for cooking in several houses, but
> the committee on the advice of ex-
.perts and the Fire Commissioners
have issued positive instructions
against using the chimneys.
At the meeting of the Relief Com
mittee yesterday A. Ruef submitted
an extended account of an interview
he had just concluded with Chief En-
gineer Schussler of the water com
Dany. Everything that is possible is
being done to restore the normal sup
DIV of water to the mains of the city.
The great reservoirs in the distant
hills contain an ample volume OF
water. sufficient to supply S5.000,00O
gallons a day for 600 days, but the
chief difficulty now is to bring in a
volume sufficient to ill the city res
ervoirs and afford pressure to quench
fire. The Mayor hopes that the peo-
bIe will heed the advice to be careful
in the use of water.

MANY BULLETS

Many shootings of the last few
days have served as strong warning
to thieves and looters who 1urk on
the borders of the ruined district.
Rumors of shootings are frequently
heard and have caused the people so
much alarm that few are seen ON the
streets after 8 o'clock. In spite of
the stringent measures adopted by the
guards several lootings are reported.
Two soldiers entered a tent at
Greenwich and Taylor streets last
night, where boy was sleeping. and
stole two blankets. They compelled
the boy to accompany them to resi-
dence at Lombard and Jones streets
where they filled the blankets with
silverware, jewelry and other valu-
ables. The soldiers then took the loot
to lot and buried it. The boy noti-

that she had three children who, it is
said. were taken care of by the people
from whom their desperate and I'M
fortunate mother attempted to steal.
A civilian was shot by a private of
