A LADY" In Pepys Time,

There were worse terrors than the
matinee hat for the man who set be-
hind a lady in the seventeenth cen

pose so from Mr.. Pepys' experience on

A Surprise For tho rbisf.

Herr Hager, rich and influential
banker. frequently had watches picked
from his pocket. At first he had re-
course to all kinds Of safety chains;
then one morning he took no precau.
ton whatever and quietly allowed
himself to be robbed. At night, on
returning from his business, he took
up the evening paper; he uttered an
exclamation of delight. A watch had
exploded in mans hands. The vic.
TINS hands were shattered and the
left eye destroyed. The crafty bank
er had filed the watch case with dy-
mantle, which exploded in the opers.

convened.
All the previous evening, save for a
short visit to the cell of his client,
Fielder had remained shut in his office,
thinking of the morrow. In his talk
with Harry he had not concealed his
deep anxiety, but to his questions there
was no new answer and he had re-

that Jessica on this last night Gid not

relieved than otherwise that she did

encouragement and had walked in the

AS he turned from greeting his eli

At noon Sunday it ceased raining
for the first time since last Thursday
and some idea of the horrors Of the
flood Of Friday night and Saturday
could be obtained. 1t was at first re-
ported that 500 lives We're lost in the
disaster, but today shows that the
number Of dead will reach 200 and
perhaps more. The river has fallen
considerably and while still high, the
danger is over. Seventeen and a half
inches of rainfall is the official record
during Friday. Saturday and today.
This rain was steady dOwnpOur and
at no time approached the status of
a cloudburst. The river was higher
than it ever has been in the history
OF Monterey and at one time the Plaza
Zaragosa, the highest part of the city,
was flooded to depth of about one
foot. This was early Saturday morn
ing and only lasted until the approach
on the south side of the Santa Louis
ita bridge was washed out.
Fully $1,000 people are homeless ard
are being cared for by the city govern
nent in the best way possible. At
noon 5000 people were given bread,
coffee and soup at the municipal of.
fees. but there are many more on the
south side of the river still out of
reach Of aid on account of the still
overlooked river. Conservative esti-
mates Of the property loss place the
figures at $20,000.OOO throughout the
city.
All through the day and up to late
at night the bodies have been taken
from the debris and ruins in the path
of the flood and over 500 have been
recovered. The greatest loss of life
occurred Saturday morning between
the hours of 9 and IL o'clock when
t.le large buildings on the south side
of the river commenced to crumble
and fell. Many of the houses had
from 100 to 200 people on their roofs
and all disappeared in the food.
