Drink Water

The japanese know what is good for
them when they insist on their women
drinking quantities Of water each day
We would hear fewer complaints of
utter fatigue. and need less assistance
from beauty hints II our women. one

their Acknowledged sisters. No day
should pass without at least a quart OF
pure water being drunk-bettes yet two
quarts. Il Is wiser. however. to begin
with the smaller quantity or you may
feel yourself water-logged, and depart
from the good habit altogether.

The hope of the petitioners is that when

Company will be the only bidder for the
property. 1t is argued that it could bid
higher than any possible competitor. To
a stranger the property would be only

CHAPTER XIII.
Run to Earth.

Without waiting for a reply the coun-
tess turned away and went back into the
house again. In the drawing room Vera
was seated, talking earnestly to LORD
Ravenspur. There was an awkward
pause as the Countess F1avio entered the
ROOM Then Vera rose with Grim sor
face and came In the direction of her
mother.
II suppose there is no occasion she

strangers"
But thought" Vera stammered
that Lord Ravenspur and yourself
Oh. don't know what 1 thought"
The girl paused abruptly. conscious that
she was saying too much. For some time
past she had been hugging what appeared
to be a shameful secret to her breast.
Her face paied with remorse now when
she thought how she had misjudged these
two people. But the embarrassment was
not ali Vera's, for Ravenspur was looking
unhappy and uncomfortable. Only the
countess appeared to retain her cold self
possession. For some time no one spoke.
Sooner or later. 1 suppose. 1 shall be
entitled to an explanation" the countess
said at length. 1T is now eighteen years
since l was cruelty deprived of my child.
1t is just possible that Lord Ravenspur
can explain his extraordinary conduct"
Il think l might manage to do that If
we were alone" Ravenspur replied. But.
after all. you are Vera's mother. and what
l have to say 1 could not utter in the
child's hearing. Oh, l know that sounds
like a cowardly remark, but my con-
science tells me that 1 am only doing
what is right"
Vera rose as IL to go. but Lord Raven
spur stretched out a hand and detained
her. There was a determined look In his
eyes.

for that later on. After dinner. II the

be. There are always two sides to a
question"
Yes. where the man is concerned" the
this case the same remark will apply to
the woman-that is, II you are prepared
to admit that am a woman"
Ravenspur murmured something in
reply. 1t seemed to him only right that
mother and daughter should be alone.
situation over. He had formed his own
opinion of the countess. He had i'm
plictly believed all that his late friend
Flavio had told him about his wife. He
had anticipated something quite different
to this. The woman was cold and self
contained and naughty. and yet Raven
spur could see nothing in her face to
which he could take exception. Fiavio
had spoken of her as a fiend, a creature
who had no title to the name of woman.
His pictures had been glowing and full of
color. And now. before a word had been
spoken, Ravenspur began to have his
doubts. And how like the countess was
to Mrs. Delahay. AS Ravenspur paced
up and down the lawn he began to see
little light in dark places. He was still
turning the matter over in his mind when
Walter and Venables came out of the
house.
Where are you going now?" Ravenspur

SUBIG BAY FoRTIFICATIoN.
Project Now Under Execution Only
Temporary in Character

Acting Secretary oliver today said
that he thought 1t should be understood
that the project now under execution for
the fertilization of Subig bay Is only tenn
po-ary In character. 1t had been thought
necessarily to insure the safety of the
big dry dock Dewey and to secure a pro-
tective harbor for the fleet. To effect
these things at Manila would take a long
while: they could be secured. at least
temporarily, at Subig bay in a short time
and at the minimum of expenditure.
Gen. Oliver declared that the scheme for
the permanent fertilization of the Philip
pines is yet unsettled. Secretary Taft
will look carefully into the matter while
he is in the islands, and when he re-
turns to Washington the general stan and
the joint board. comprising officers OF
high rank in both army and navy. will
take up the subject and endeavor to
frame project upon which all can unite
So far only 100000 has been appropriated
for the fertilization Of the Philippines. and
this sum would only make a beginning in
the work. so large is the project.
