him.

the dispatch for you"
She went to her cabin and Hardy
made his few hurried preparations for
departure, which consisted simply in
swallowing a few mouthfuls OF "a
kouska, in filling his flask with vodka,
and in slipping into his pocket a fat
bottle, empty, but tightly corked.
When he returned to the deck, he
found the princess awaiting him, with
the dispatch ready. Hardy wound it
into a tight cylinder and poked it into
the bottle, which he corked and put
into his pocket.
Thank you." he said, simply. to the
princess.

his knees touched the soft sand, and
he was able to walk for some dis

LAID. I

The water committee Of the city
council met yesterday afternoon with
the SUI ,erintendent, ]. l.. Sweeney, and
AWARDED the contract to construct four
additional wells for the city to J. r
Keller, who will begin work at once.
Superintendent Sweeney was or
dered to inspect ali districts at once,
where there are sanitary sewers and
no water mains and estimate the cost
of laying the mains.
Laying of water main on Romano
street between Baylen and Palafox
streets was authorized.
The suggestion OF DR. Renshaw
made at the last council meeting to
investigate bringing water from a
stream several miles away to supply
the city was not gone into at the
meeting as the water committee was
determined to increase the supply as
speedily as possible in order to meet
any possible demands At present
the water committee has provided
sufficient water to supply the demand
and keep up the pressure.
