HAGERSToWN SHORT.
Martinsburg Got MARYLAND Town Beat
Some.

Following an inspection of the reser-
voirs and supply station of the Wash
ington County Water Company, it is
said that the condition of Hagers-
towns water supply has become eX-
tremely acute. The large reservoir
at Raven Rock is to all intents and
purposes dry.
The Warner Gulch stream has OWN
died down to a flow scarcely large
enough to fill a one-inch pipe, while
the Raven Rock stream is doing little
better. The reservoir at Cavetown is
also practically empty. with the result
that Hagerstown is now getting little
or no water from the mountain
streams.

Old Guard Fought to the End.
The c'ose Of the convention found
the Roosevelt forces in complete mas
terry of the situation 1t was the cleo
ton of Colonel Roosevelt as temper
airy chairman over Vice-Presideqt Sher
man. which decided the issee be-
tween the colonel a the organize
ton but the Old Guard kept up
its fight grmly until the end Fol-
lowing the first rout OF the organiza-
ton came Colonel Roosevelt's dra-
matte and successful battle for the
adoption Of the platform OF the Pro
gressives and his final victory in the
nomination Of Mr.. Stimson. BY the
time the vote was taken the strength
| of the organization had been dis
sipated badly Having no candidate
| from whom to make a determined
! fight the organiza ion threw the bulk
of it's vote to Mr.. Bennett
Just before the contention came to
an end the new State committee was
announced The list contained sev-
eral new names and it was assumed
that the Progressives would have
control, turning over to the Roose-
welt forces the party machinery of the
State. Chairman Timothy l.. Wood

Second district

The election of chairman from the
Progressives in place of Mr.. Woodru.
| is expected, although no idea could be
gained as to who the new chairman
viii be. 1t is customary to hold a
meeting of the State committee for the
election of chairman directly after
the State convention adjourns. Chair
man Root announced, however. that
no such meeting would be held to-
night and that the members OF the
committee would be notified b. mail
when the meeting would be held. 1t
is understood that this situation arose
on account Of the fact that no agree
ment has been reached as to the new
chairman Lloyd c. Griscom aad Cor
nelius V. Collins both have declined
to serve.

CHAPTER XII.

At the close of a long, hot day, the
enchanted yacht sighted land-a blur
OF gray and green to the left. AS the
night deepened this verged into a
splash of tropic green, washed with a
spendthrift moon. Betty begged to be
allowed to stop on deck to watch this
dawning beauty, and Tyoga, muftied in
a long white cloak, stood beside her.
AS they approached the harbor, Betty
saw it was the jettying mouth of a
river. the banks lined with mosshung
palms. springing from matted
growth of reeds, entWined vines, rush
es and lush grass. Straight up the
river they went in the moonlight
through a current so slow that the
stream appeared stagnant No sign OF
habitation met the eye, and the jun
giles to either side were still as death
save for the occasional roar of a lion,
or snarl of some angered panther.
The river verged into lake, black
and forbidding within bleak beaches of
yellow sand, and from there they rush
cd into another river rooted with en-
TANGLED trees through which filtered a
Wood red sunrise. All day they fol-
loved this river pimpled at intervals

of elephants coming down to drink and
often sent an affrighted lioness hurry
tho hack from the waters edge TO her

snraad itself despairingly over some or
the slimiest pools as if to patch up
b1aclz hideodsness with perfect bloom.
