NEW HOPE INSPIRED BY LATEST
BULLETIN OF NEW ORLEANS
WEATHER MAN.
Drop of Half Foot is Predicted at
Crescent City, But Slight Rise May
Occur at other Points Along the
Mississippi.

New Orleans, May TN a bulle-
tin issued today the United States
weather bureau lowered by half a foot
its forecast of a maximum stage of
y feet in the Mississippi river at
New Orleans, but added three tenths
of a foot to its predicted maximum
stage at Baton Rouge and two -tenths
more than previously estimated at
Donaldsonville.
This inspired new hopes to the
people in the immediate vicinity of
New Orleans, but the still higher flood
stages predicted at points north from
Donaldsonville to above Baton Rouge
means that the fight to hold the levees
in that section cannot be relaxed in
the slightest degree.
The revision of the weather bureau
figures for New Orleans was based
upon a report received by the weather
bureau stating that an additional 800
feet of embankment at the Torras
crevasse went out last night, widen
ing the gap there to more than 1000
feet.
Break Gives Relief.
The widening of the Torras crew.
asse with the constantly increasing
Volume of water which it is turning
loose upon the lowlands on the west
side of the river, is calculated by the
engineers to give early relief to the
strain upon the levees south of that
point. With normal weather condr-
tions, the river and levee experts an
Sicipate slight fall in the river above
Baton Rouge within a week and the
crest of the flood is expected to reach
New Orleans Sunday with a maximum
stage of 21.5 feet, IL feet above the
previous high record.
Sunshine Brings Hope.
A bit of sunshine this morning lent
further encouragement to those who
are graphing with the dangerous sit
uation, but clouds were always In
sight and threatening to turn loose
another downpour to add to the han
dicap already present.
Encouraging reports were received
at the United States engineers office
this morning from Plaquemine, Nor
ganza, New Roads, Scott's Landing,
Baton Rouge and other points where
weak spots in the levees are being
repaired.
A large force continued work to-
day at Amesville, across the river
from New Orleans, and the 5000 feet
of poor levee there is being rapidly
topped and blanketed.
In the Third district of New Or
leans increased gangs are at work,
and most of the bad stretches have
been considerably strengthened. The
new reyetments have been completed
along the most dangerous stretches,
and several hundred carloads of earth
have been placed between the levee
and the board protection.

two. Hope learns that Gen. Waite. who
was thought murdered. is at Sheridan,
and goes there, where she is mistaken for
Christie Maclaire, the Carson City singer.

CHAPTER Xxx.
In Chrlstle's Room.


Keith swept his glance up and down
the street without results Surely
Hawley and his companion could not
have disappeared so suddenly. They
had turned to the right, he was GER
tain as to that and he pushed through
the crowd of men around the theater
entrance, and FASTENED to overtake
them He found nothing to overtake
nowhere along that stretch of street,
illumined by window lights, was there
any sign of a man and woman walking
together He stopped, bewildered,
staring blindly about, failing utterly to
comprehend this mysterious vanishing
What could 1t mean? What had hap
pened? How could they have disap-
peared so completely during that sin
gle moment he had waited to speak to
Fairbain? The mans heart beat like
q trip-hammer with apprehension,
sudden fear for Hope taking posses
zion of him. Surely the girl would
never consent to enter any of those
dens along the way, and Hawley
would not dare resort to force In the
open street. The very thought seemed
preposterous. and yet, with no other
Imposition possible, he entered these
ore after the other in hasty search,
questioning the inmates sharply, only
to find himself totally batfied-Hawley
and Hope had vanished as though
swallowed by the earth. He explored
dark passage-ways between the scat
tered buildings. rummaging about
recklessly, but came back to the street
again without reward.
Could they have gone down the 9TH
er side. in the deeper shadows, and
thus reached the hotel more quickly
than it seemed to him possible? There
was barely a chance that this could
be true, and yet Keith grasped at it
desperately, cursing himself for hav-
ing wasted time Five minutes later,
breathless, almost speechless with
anxiety, he startled the clerk
