Dredging Lake and Filling Low Places.

At the very beginning 1t agreed that certain
portions of the lake should be dredged the material
to be used for filling low places and raising the shore
line to proper height. To do this large dredge
built the shore of the lake and formally
launched under the auspices of interested residents
of North Omaha headed by uncle joe Redman. The
dredge had to have coal tender, and then it
found the coal tender had to have towboat. This
latter craft is the stocks the west shore
of the lake, and is practically ready to launch
as the spring freshets raise the lake level The
boat sternwheeler not large but powerful enough
to do all the towing necessary.

Annie nodded acquiescence.

it's myself I'm scolding. You did

The lawyer tried to suppress a
smile.

Judge Brewster was not a patient
man, and if there was anything that
angered him it was rank injustice. He
had no patience with this young wom-
an who allowed herself to be tram
pied on in this outrageous way. Yet
he could not be angry with her. She
had qualities which compelled his adj
miration and respect. and not the least
of these was her willingness to shield
others at her own expense.

A look of perplexity came over his
