the gates are thrown open and a fine

who had charge of the falls went out
and opened the gates; the visitors
were delighted, paid their quarter and
drove away About half an hour later
another wagonload drove up to the
hotel and asked to see the falls. Again
the old man went out and opened the
gates; but owing to the previous drain
on the water supply the result was far
from satisfactory, and the spectators
were not enthusiastic The old man
noticed the dissatisfaction OF the visit
ors, and was, perhaps. somewhat con.
