1--WE could almost walk to the lake
over the trees" said Miss Pat. Its
charming picture"
Then, as we all turned to the lake,
seeing it afar across the tree-tops
through the fragrant twilight, l saw
the Stiletto standing out boldly upon
the waters of Annandale, with Ian
guild impudence that l began to as.
sociate with it's slim outlines and
snowy canvas. Other craft were
abroad, and Miss Pat, judged, spoke
only of the prettiness of the general
landscape, and there was, to be sure,
no reason why the sails of the Stiletto
should have had any particular signifi-
canoe for her. Helen was still looking
down upon the lake when Miss Pat
suggested that we should 60 home;
and even after her aunt called to her,
the girl still stood, one hand resting
upon the trunk of great beech, her
gaze bent wistfully, mournfully to-
ward the lake. But on the homeward
drive-she had asked for the reins
again-her mood changed abruptly,
and she talked cheerily, often turning
her head-a scarlet-banded sailor hat
was, l thought, remarkably becoming
to chaff about her skill with the
reins.
II haven't a care or trouble in the
world" declared Miss Pat when I left
them at st. Agatha's. Il am sure that
we have known the worst that can
happen to us in Annandale. refuse
to be a bit frightened after that
drive"
1T was charming" said Helen.
"This Is better than the English lake
country, because it isn't so smoothed
out"
II will grant you all of that" l said.
II will go further and admit-what is
much for me-that it is almost equal
to Killarney"
There seemed to be sincerity in
their good spirits, and I was myself
refreshed and relieved as I drove into
Glenarm; but arranged for the same
guard as on the night before. Helen
Holbrook's double-dealing created a
condition of affairs that demanded
cautious handling, and l had no inten-
ton of being caught mapping.
From the window of my room saw
the Japanese boy patrolling the walks
of st. Agathas. A blackboard of young
sters from Port Annandale passed in
the road, leaving ?, trail of song be-.
hind them. Then the frog choruses
from the little brook that lay hidden
in the Glenarm wood sounded in my
ears with maddening iteration, and
sought the open.
The previous night I had met Helen
Holbrook by the stone seat on the
ridge, and | cannot deny that it was
with the hope of seeing her again that
| set forth. She was beautiful with a
rare loneliness at all times, yet found
myself wondering whether, on the
strange frontiers of love, it was her
daring duplicity that appealed to me-
| set myself stubbornly into a pillory
reared of my own shame at the
thought, and went out and climbed
upon the Glenarm wall and stared at
the dark bulk of st. Agatha's as pun
ished myself for having entertained
any other thought of Helen Holbrook
than of a weak, vain, ungrateful girl,
capable of making sad mischief for
her benefactor.

a more artistic exterior and con-
venient interior arrangements than the
one now under course of construction

The exterior is on the modified Swiss
order, with low overhanging caves and
shingled walls. a notable feature is
the large cement veranda which eX-
tends half way across the front and
around the side of the building with
French doors opening onto same from
the dining room.
Massive pillars support the porch
roof, giving q very classy effect to the
building. The large living room ex-
tends across the entire front of build
ing. with wide low mantel of artistic
design In one end of room, with art
glass windows over seats on either
side, making a very pleasing effect
This room will be beamed with the

will be of oak. The two bedrooms and
bathroom will be finished in white

Big Corporation Kept Hustling to
Keep Pace with Growth
of Los Angeles
125 MILES OF MAIN ARE LAID

IT is conceded that no other city IN
the United states of like population
is provided with better gas and cleo
tric service than Los Angeles, notwith-
standing her bounding increase in pop
uation, jumping from 100000 in 1900 to
100000 in 1910.
The management of the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric corporation, with
general offices on South Hill street, has
been almost prodigal during the pres
ent year In the expenditure of money
for the enlargement of the several
plants and for the general betterment
of the service. A vast sum has been
placed in the plants to increase their
capacity, the amount being nearly
$1,000, 900.
EXPENDITURES IN DETAIL
The present capacity of the COM
pany's gas works is an output of 3d.
100000 cubic feet of gas day, the ex-
pendture of $304,000 this year having
provided for an increase of 100000
feet of gas day.
The company now has S75 miles OF
gas mains, including 125 miles laid In
1910 for the distribution of the gas,
both for high and low pressure, also
including the big feeder mains for the
heaviest consumers. For these inn
proven nts the company expended
$sS7. 900.
The electric works now have a ca
pacity of 24,20O horsepower. the in
crease in power this year having been
ZOO horsepower or 1000 klowatts. This
expense involved an outlay of $150,0O0.
There arc now in use 109,50O gas and
electric meters, including the installa-
tion of 10000 new gas meters and 5000
electric meters during the present
year The expense of providing de-
sired distribution facilities for hath
gas and electric products was $240D600.
The company has 2045 miles of cleo
trio mains and fifteen miles of under
ground electric conduits in service.
The company supplies the city of
Los Angeles with 1856 arc lights and
3025 incandescent electric lights for
street lighting purposes provided at
what are said to be the lowest rates
of any city in the United States.
Consumers in the city of Pasadena,
South Pasadena, Huntington Park and
Hollywood are given gas service by
the Los Angeles Gas and Electric cor
poration.
Twenty-one years ago the price of
gas in Los Angeles was 1925 per 1000
feet. Through voluntary reductions
the company has established the low
rate of so cents.
From small beginning in 1867 the
Gas and Electric company has grown
to be one of the largest gas and cleo
trio service corporations in the coun-
try, with all departments working to-
gether smoothly, all efforts being di-
rected successfully in givinga the pub
lie the best service.
More than $50 people are employed,
the monthly pay roll amounting to
$50, 1000.
