close at his heels. With a growing
sense OF horror he saw two ghostly
stakes thrusting themselves out Of the

beyond them. AS far as he could see
there was sand-nothing but sand. as

Suddenly every nerve in Nathaniel's
body leaped into excited action.
The guards were entering their
boat. The last man was showing 1t

throbbing muscles seemed ready to
burst their bonds. The boat became
mere shadow-and faded In the dis

fainter and fainter. Then, after lit

new SEWERS TO
Be READY SOON
FOR ACTIVE Use
WORK done ON WEST SIDE
Sewers viii Be Tested Before
They are Accepted

1t should prove welcome news to the
residents along the streets where the
new sewers have been for some time
in the process Of being laid to know
that these improvements will soon be
ready and available for use.
All the sewers on the western side
of Lee street have been laid, so that
this portion of these much needed i'm
proyeements has been finished and will
soon be ready to be made of use in a
practical way. This section of the city,
which includes the Brooklyn and Pat
terson Heights divisions and that part
of the city west of Lee street and south
of Church, will be the first to enjoy the
benefits afforded by the new sewerage
system.
AS the work of installing the sewers
has practically been completed up to
Lee street in the western section of
the city, the efforts of the contractors
will be redoubled to bring to an end
the work that still remains to be done
before the remaining sewerage inn
proyements shall have been installed
according to the plans as originally
outlined, including improvements in
the system as it exists in the eastern
as well as the western section of the
city.
In order that the sewers may be
known to be in thoroughly good con-
dition before they are put into active
use thy will be tested by the city en-
gineer and his assistant before they
are finally put into commission. 1t
will be only a matter of a short time
now before this test will have been
completed and the sewers pronounced
ready for use.
No Improvement made In Amerlcus
in recent years will likely prove more
widely and genuinely beneficial than
the installation Of sanitary sewerage
facilities in this section of the city, and
the completion of the work still re-
naming will be awaited with eager
ness by the residents of the eastern
section of the city.
