 They forget the many scandals into which municipal ownership has plunged cities of the United States, and they ignore the reports they read almost daily of mu- nicipal corruption, graft, extravagance wastefulness and mistakes in other cities
 The Pacific Gas X Electric Company. an organization which has never paid one cent to bribe a city official, and whose record is absolutely clealE is linked with the most savage denunciatiOns of corporate villany
 Where is common decency in such tactics as this!
 Why should the municipal ownership of a competing electric plant be compared with the munlclpalizatiOn of the local waterwOrks?
 The waterworks was inadequate and in- efficient. 1t represented something neces- sary to public health and safety. It's op- eratlOn IS a very simple thing compared to the operation of an electric or gas plant
 The property operated by the Pacific Gas < Electric Company is both adequate and efficient. Much of it is absolutely new. The service rendered is good What we have to sell is not an absolute necessity

from her tired body, to have had the
stimulus and refreshment Of it's
sparkling GOODNESS over her weary
limbs. But in the presence of her dog
like attendant this was not yet posi-
BILE.
Still she could and must arrange her
hair. or all the articles in her dress
ing bag, she was more fervently
thankful at that moment for the combs
than anything else, the combs and the
little mirror and the hairpins-small
things indeed, but human happiness as
rule turns on things SO small that
the Investigator and promoter thereof
generally overlook them. And we
know not the significance of the little
until upon some desert island we are
left with only those.
1t was still early, about eight
o'clock. How was she to pass the
day? She must do something. She
felt she could not sit idly staring from
sea to shore. She must be moving.
No business called her; she must in
vent some. The compelling necessity
of soul not born for idleness was
upon her. She would explore the land.
That was logically the first thing to be
done any way and this was highly
trained woman who thought to live by
rule and law albeit her rules were
poor ones.
She started inland, the man follow
ior of he hoI n;,,o
in herself with every passing moment.
The man who looked at her as a dog
she would treat as one. She must
have some privacy. She could not al
ways have him trailing at her heels.
She turned by great boulder, pointed
to it, laid her hand on the mans
shoulder and gently forced him to a
sitting position by it. Then she walked
away. He stared wistfully after her
departing figure, and as she turned
around to look at him, he sprang to
his feet.
mo, MOI" she cried imperatively,
making backward threatening motions
with her hands, whereat he resumed
his sitting position, staring at her I'M
til he lost her among the trees.
Presently she turned and came back
to him. 1t was so deathly lonely with
out him. He leaped to his feet as he
saw her coming and clapped his hands
as a child might have done, his face
breaking out the while into smile
that was both trustful and touching.
She felt better since she had him un-
der this control, and together they
walked on under the trees.

should have engrossed her mind. What
she was to do, how she was to live,
the terrible problems in which his
presence on the island involved her
should have been the objects OF her
attention; they should have afforded
food for thought to the keenest OF
women. She simply forgot them in
her puzzled wonder at him. 1t would
have been much simpler from one
point of view if she had found the
island uninhabited and yet since the
man was human and alive, in spite OF
her judgment, her heart was glad that
he was there.
She motioned to him to sit down
and then she sat in front Of him and
studied him. He looked as little like
fool as like knave. She could, in
deed, detect no evidence of any intellec-
tual capacity, but she thought, as she
studied him keenly, that he possessed
unlimited intellectual possibilities.
There was a mind back of those
bright blue eyes, that broad noble
brow, but it seemed to her mind
entirely undeveloped, mind utterly
latent. Here was a soul, she thought

she would have eaten until she had
made herself i'll. When she had par
taken, she rose to her feet. Before do
ing this she had extended her hand
to him as if seeking assistance, but he
had simply stared at her uncompre-
bending and she had been forced to
get to her feet unaided. Once stand
ing, she trembled and would have
fallen, but that she caught his arm
and steadied herself by holding tightly
to it. The man started back at her
touch. Color came and went in his
face; little shudders swept over him;
his mouth opened: he looked at her
with singular expression of awe not
unmixed with terror in his eyes, for
this was the first time in his recollec-
ton or what would have been his rec

had been developed, that he had ever

1t was such simple sign that any
she thought, and yet it appeared to
her, watching in despair, that it took
a long time for the idea to beat into
his brain. She could wait no longer.
She rose to her knees and stretched
out her hands again
'Water!" she gasped in a hoarse
whisper. "Water, or l die!"
The man had started violently at her
speech. Giving him no time to re-
cover, she went through the motion
again, this time with greater effect
for the man turned and vanished. She
sank down on the sand too exhausted
to follow him even with her eyes. If
he brought the water she would drink
it and live; if he did not, she would
lie whore she was and die. She did
not care much, she thought, which
would happen. She had so sickened of
life before she essayed that open boat,
that she believed it was simply an
animal craving in her which would
make her take the water in case it
should be brought her. And yet when
he did appear with cocoanut shell
trimming with clear, sparkling liquid,
she felt as though the elixir of life
had been proffered her.
She seized the shell with both hands
which yet so trembled that most of
the precious water spilled on her dress
as she carried it to her parched lips.
This was good in the end, for if that
vessel had been the famed Jotuneheim
drinking horn, she would have drained
it dry ere she set it down. AS it was,
she got but little; yet that little was
enough to set her heart beating once
more. Implying the shell Of the last
drop--and with that keenness of per-
ception which her long training had
intensified and developed, marking the
while that it had not been cut clean
by any knife or saw or human nipple

if from a fall, she dropped it on the
sand and looked again toward the

sunk her ,ecth into it, she found it
agreeable to the taste also He had
brought it to her. If he had meant
harm, present harm, surely he would
not have given the water She ate it
confidently
AS the man saw her partake of what
he had given her, he clapped his hands
and laughed. She was grateful for
that laugh. 1t was more human than
the babbling sounds which he made
before
There was but little of the fruit, just
what a child would have brought and
this again was good for her, for had
there been an abundance, in her need
