 Lulu. my dove, where art thou?" called a fat and anxious voice. The rays of lantern help high in the air suddenly irradiated the scene. which was surveyed by Sister victorine and the mother superior.
 At this unexpected sight, Angel" broke from Ralph's restraining arm, and scrambled hastily down the tree.
 One afternoon about week after Angels" undignified scramble from Olympus to Avernus, she and the countess walked together, victorine panting in the rear. and Lulu stepping sedately before them.
 "Seo you the devilish one.' said the countess, vindictively She is % proud of the mischief she has wrought that she must constantly exhibit her self. I fear her unspeakably; but I dare not show it.'
 They had paused beneath the bel fry tower at Sister victorine's request. in order that she might gain breath and also scan the rest of her flock.
 An ideal" murmured the countess. If the good God will but let us fulfill 1t. Listen. If the bells, le Grand and la Petite, now peacefully reposing in wonder tower. should suddenly peal out, dost thou not know that the en- tire village would be immediately upon the spot?'
 What of it?" asked Angel"
 Why, stupid, thus thou couldst es- cape. If now M. Ralph was in. formed as to the moment the bells would ring
 Dear old Jacques would never ring the bells except for service"
 True, true" replied the countess, patiently; but" with deep meaning. If some one else pulled the roper"

\ TITANIC TASK
eTRuc0LE OF ENGINEERS TO
 SAVE IMPERIAL VALLEY.
Break of River Bank Has Carried Away More Than Thirty Thous-
 and Acres .of Rich Land.

Tho government is to take hand in the struggle to control Salton sea and save Imperial Valley from total de- struction. for congress has been asked for $l5o,00o to supplement the work which Is being done by the railroads and the state. While public attention has been called to the breaking of the banks of the Colorado river and the consequent refilling of old Salton sea. not many persons have realized the titanic task the engineers have had in damming up the break to prevent the destruction of the great Imperial Valley. They were successful in No vember. but there has since been an other break, and the engineers are again at work in an effort to close it and return the waters of the Colorado river to their former channel.
 In description of the great work accomplished by the engineers the Scientific American says the present trouble is due to efforts to lead part of the Colorado river water into the I'm perial Valley for irrigation purposes. Ten miles of the Alamo river channel were dredged in 1901. and by series of canals about 100.00 acres of land were irrigated and made so fertile that about 12,000 persons are now en. gagged in farming there.
 Tho mouth of the diversion channel became in time choked by silt carried down by the Colorado river. The irri- gation company decided to excavate a new channel from the river at a point called Intake No. g." This was fin ished in November. 1904.
 Originally the ditch was about 50 feet wide, but flood in the Colorado caused such a rush of water that the channel was quickly widened and deep- ened. The result was that more water flowed into the canal than could be used. The surplus, following the Ala mo channel, flowed into the old Salton sink, which promptly began to rise
 
 and spread over the adjacent country. The Salton sea has at times risen three inches in "A hours.
 The salt industry has been practic- ally ruined and the irrigated district threatened with overflow. The maxi. mum depth of water in the sink has been about 7S feet. but the basin would have to be filled to a maximum depth of about 150 feet before the wa. ter would cover the farms of the I'm perial Valley.
 : Estimates of the damage caused by the inundation include the washing of .30,000 acres of rich land into the Sal ton sea. the injury of as much more by the formation of gullies or small canyons, the destruction of four.fifths

Write thy let. ter to M. Ralph. and I will give Jacques a sou to deliver 1t. The rest. l will manage"
 By the. following day all prelim- inaries were accomplished, and at last the moment arrived when her plot was to be tested. The blossoms of lofty genealogical trees were all in the secret. The countess, slightly pale. but wearing the expression of in- domitable and unflinching courage which had distinguished her ances- tors at Crecy and Poitiers, stood be- fore the belfry.
 At that instant the pinkest and whitest of the English honorables turned her ankle and sank to the ground with cry of pain. victorine. all sympathy, waddled hastily toward her.
 Seizing the unsuspecting Lulu from Angel" Smiths arms, the countess lied up the steps of the tower and cast her through Gothic aperture, Then she sped down again. unheeded, unnoticed.
 Lulu. my lamb" presently called the fatuous voice of Sister victorine, the rose-and-lily honorable having re- covered herself sufficiently to rest on the stone benct beneath the pear tree.
 Lulu chases butterflies amid the shrubbery. dear sister" said the countess.
 Scarcely were the words out of her mouth when from the tower the bells pealed forth a terrible summons.
 In a moment the cries of the alarm ed nuns were lost in the hubbub of many voices. for the whole village poured through the open gates.
 Angel" Smith turned a pale face on the countess. Fly" cried that Napoleon of the heart, this is thy opportunity"
 Anger Smith fled into the wind swept street of All Angels and al most into the embrace of a pair of gray arms
 For a moment she hid her happy face in his tweed coat. It Is Lulu" she cried. tine adorable. incompatible Lulu. Adieu. dear Sister victorine. Adieu. Lulu 1 am going back to the world"

 of the Mexican town of Mexicali and the covering with silt of many millions of tons of salt at the bottom of the Salton sea. and the consequent ruin of the salt industry there.
 Besides all this 50 miles of the Southern Pacific railway tracks have had to be relaid from time to time, at ,successively higher levels, to avoid the encroaching sea.
 f, After struggling against the river for a year the people of the valley found natural ally in the Southern Pacific Railway company. whose main line crosses the basin and is in danger of inundation. At great expense a dam was built last November and the river was turned back to It's old chan. mel. and 1t continued to flow to the Gulf of California. as formerly, until early in December, when 1t washed out the new earth of the dam or levee and again broke Into the Sink.
 Now 1t is apparent that S2,5Oo. 900 will be necessary to construct works which will hereafter control the stream. For the first time an appeal has been made to the federal govern ment for aid. The national govern. ment has made appropriations for the protection of agricultural lands and cities from temporary overflow. Here is a case. the people feel. where an appropriation-an immediate appro- priation-is needed to prevent perna- ncne inundation.

TWO small factors in the conclusion or the London stock market settlement and failure on the Philadelphia stock ex- change, with some sensational features. helped to deaden the interest in stocks. The transactions were subject to brfsy attack based on reports of declining earn ings and on talk of an inquisition into the affairs to be expected from the com ing public utilities commission for New York state. The decision to pass the div idend on preferred stock of the United Railway Investment company was an out come of labor conditions in San Francis CO., The improved crop reports were re- ceived with satisfaction in financial quar- ters, but were powerless to stem the mar ket from its lethargy. Subscriptions war rants for New York, the new stock Of the northwestern Paciflcs, made some sharp decline, reinforcing the pessimistic views expressed by the chairman of the board of the Great Northern over the credit out look for the railways. The days changes, small as they are, are quite general de- clines, evidencing the heavy undertone of the market.

IMPROVEMENT IN OUTLOOK

New York, June 13.-The cotton market was rather irregular during todays ses- sion, but showed steadiness in the after to an advance of points. Sales for he day were estimated at 900,000 bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of to points and shortly after the call the market showed a net loss of 19 points on July and of to points on the active new crop months under liquida tion and pressure from local bears, who were encouraged by favorable weather reports and easier cables. At the decline some/of larger professionals became buyers, small CT shorts covered and in the later session some fresh buying for long account was attracted by private reports claiming damages from boil weevil in Texas and parts of Louisiana. With prices at one time showing net gains of about 6 to 3 points on the active new crop position. July rallied to last nights close.
 In the last few minutes prices eased off little under realizing, but July was the only month to show a net loss at the close. Rumors that prominent man ufaeturers had purchased all the print cloths available in the Fall River mar ket. had some ininfuence during the early afternoon, but it was later that this was actually an old transaction, and without fresh significance.
 Aside from the reports of insect damage in the southwest, private crop reports were not numerous, and the local trade 4l..> was causing som improvement in outlook Southern spot markets were unchanged to lac lower.
