The sailor knew that the Dvaks had
landed at the sandy bay Iris had chris

quiinted with the passage through the

Now they would endeavor to escape by
the same channel. They must be pre-

Then jerks understood that his bullet
had hit the lock of the Dyak's uplifted
weapon, with the result already de-
scribed. BY miracle he had escaped.
He coolly prepared to sIay the three
of them with the same calm purpose
that distinguished the opening phase OF

distance was much greater. perhaps 500

hands in an agony of entreaty, do not

For my own sake. then" he growled,
annoyed at the interruption, as the sam

He placed the rife on the sand and
raised her tenderly, for she had yielded
to a paroxysm of tears. Not another
word did either of them speak in that
hour. The large triangular sail of the
sampan was now bellying out in the
south wind. A figure stood up in the
stern of the boat and shook menacing

BUILDING HIGHLAND CANAL |S AGAIN
 DELAYED
PERMISSION FROM GOVERNMENT MUST B EHAD IN A ROUND
 ABOUT MANNER.

TEMPE, November 1.-The imme- diate construction ,or the immediate commencement of work of building the Highland canal seems 10 have been again deferred on account of not hay ing permission from the government 10 go ahead and further the proposition
 A letter has been. received here from the Water Users association to the effect that petition would have to bc presented to the Water Users asso citation asking that body for permission 10 ask the government if the stockhold CTS of the Highland Canal Construction company can go ahead and build the ditch. This is hardly the impression that has been held by good many O. the stockholders, the general idea be ing that the canal could be started as soon as tho necessary amount was raised to guarantee interest on the money invested by tho construction company.
 The annual meeting of the stockhold. CTS will be held in the opera house next Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 clock. The purpose of the meeting is to elect of- ficers for the ensuing year. The High land Canal Construction company has not been organized for year, but, ac- eording to the articles of incorporation, tho second Tuesday in November is the time for the annual meeting Ii is desired that all the stockholders be present, as general understanding can be had at that time as to what will have to be done
