1t may be that Lorison, In spite of

HIGH WATER TOWER

Ancient Triumph Of Architecture
Which for Forty Years Has

Visitors to st. Louis.

st. Louis-The old water tower,
the first and original, has gone out
of service. Its usefulness as well as
OF st. Louis Is a thing of the very
recent past. In the ancient water
tower the city Of st. Louis possesses
the finest and tallest Corinthian col

as a work of utility and beauty. Few,
indeed. are aware that the western
metropolis, for a period of nearly
forty years, possessed a triumph In
architecture which has again and
again evoked the admiration OF Wis.
itors from Europe and other parts Of
our own country.
Some forty years ago, when the

came the chief engineer of the st
Louis waterworks. Mr.. Klrkwood was
an expert In waterworks mechanism
and engineering. He went to Europe
In that period to make study of the
best waterworks systems in the big
capitals, and came back with much
information as to high standpipes.
1t was along in 1868 that the water
board decided to erect a high stand
pipe at Grand avenue. At first II
was planned to hold the pipe in place
by means of guy ropes. but Mr.,
Barnett, the architect of the depart
ment, suggested inclosing the pipe in
column of brick. The idea was
adopted by the engineers and the
commissioners.
The work of building the pipe and
the Corinthian column was by con.
tract. 1t was started in the. fall OF
1869 and completed in July. 1871.

She concluded with haunting, shrill
laugh that rasped Lorison like a saw,
as the policeman urged her forward.
Then there came upon Lorison an
overwhelming revulsion of his per.
spective. In an instant he had been
transformed from a somewhat rancid
prowler along the fishy side streets OF
gentility into an honest gentleman
with whom even SO lordly guardian
of the peace might agreeably ex.
change the compliments.

ing for the fellowship of his kind, and
the rewards of the virtuous.
But the thing that struck home and
set him raging was the part played
by the Amazonian prisoner. To the
counterpart of that astounding belig.
erent-identical, at least. In the way
of experience-to one, by her own
confession, thus far fallen, had he, not
three hours since been united In mar
riage. How desirable and natural 1t
had seemed to him then. and how
monstrous 1t seemed nowi How the
words of diamond thief number two
yet burned in his ears: IF you ever
get girl, she'll have picnic" What
did that mean but that women in
stinctively knew him for one they
could hoodwink? Still again, there
reverberated the policeman's sapient
contribution to his agony: "A man
these days and nights wants to know
what his women folks are up to-" Oh,
yes, he had been a fool: he had
looked at things from the wrong
standpoint.
with a high and stubborn indigna-
ton upon him. he retraced his steps
TO the intersecting street by which he
had come from that preposterous we'd
ding. At last, when he reached the
dark. calamitous building in which
his madness had eliminated. and
found the black hallway, he dashed
down 1t, perceiying no light or sound.
But he raised his voice, hailing loudly,
reckless of everything but that he
should find the old mischiefmaker
with the eyes that looked far away to
see the disaster he had wrought. The
door opened. and In the stream of
light, Father Rogan stood. his book in
hand, with his finger marking the
place.

The priest reached the landing at
the top of the stairway Lorison. be-

space was the glass upper half of a
door opening into the lighted room.
Lorison stopped breathing when he
set foot on the highest step, for the
