Its a shine to Elizabeth E. Car

writing her a dandy letter. I'm tell
ing her all about the good business
I'm in and how much money I'm
making. Why, say, do you known
I'm ahead over five hundred dollars
since saw you?"
The Manicure Girl pushed back his
hand, and hastily reached down his
hat from the hook overhead.
.'Run!" she exclaimed. Get away
quick before they find out you've got
it, or they'll take it away if they have
to strangle YOU"
He merely grinned.
"Oh, / don't know he said con-
fidently. 'I've noticed that the
people who do gouge its money out
of New York, and keep it, come from
places like Prosperity, Indiana.
There's a lot more where this five

it."

You needn't worry, Billy" she re-
torted. Not that you've got any
mortgage on the premises, but that

out on the poor Dagoes. Considering
the couple of hundred dollars my pet
Hlck has left, he's not likely to be in
any more"
She was mistaken. In week he
was in again, more aggressive even
than ne had been the first time. Some
way there was change in him. The
noisy tie was gone. he had a new
hat, and he carried himself a shade
"scrappy,' as she expressed it.
"Hello!" she hailed him. 81

Money he replied gleefully, and
displayed huge roll of bills.
Who died in your family?" she
asked.
1T isn't that" he laughed "but

From his pocket he drew a stamped
and addressed letter and pointed to
the James E. Carroll written in the
corner under the Belveigh card.

proud of it. THAT dossy blonde on
the outside was Beauty Phillips, the
sensation of The Pink Canary She's
going to star next season, and Angel
Jimmy may back the show"
Fine for Beauty Phillips!' said the
Manicure Girl, and then she was an
grily silent for few minutes. Look
here, Mr.. James E. Carroll" she sud
denly demanded; when did you write
last to the girl in Prosperity"
"By George, II intended to write
her last night" he stammered e.
/ haven't been answering her letters
as promptly as ought, and that's a
fact"
when did you write ~ to

it's over three weeks" he finally con-
fessed.
And then I'll bet it was on one
page" she snapped back at him.
You told her you we're too busy to
write, only just those few lines, but
would write more tomorrow"
That time she made him blush.
Now" she sternly went on, you
go right out of here and write to that
girl; and keep it up, or don't ever
come back"

''Hick. isn't he, Billye zap, I guess!
Also a pin-head and a few other
things; but just the same, he came
here to spend three hundred dollars,
and he's been here over week, and
he's got about six hundred of it left.

Hell be down on the Bowery pam

growled Billy.
1t did not seem to happen right at
once, however. Every time James E.
Carroll came in he looked more pros
porous, and he told the Manicure Girl
each time of how much money he
was making as grain and stock
OPERATOR Every time it was more
and more He didn't exactly boast
about it; he was only gleeful in a
large, childish way, and it is doubt
full if he gloated to any one else as
he did to Miss Williams. He had
constituted her his confidante from
the beginning, and seemed to feel It
a solemn duty, as well as joy, to
come in and let her know his prog
ress. It was strange, too, to see his
transition from a country boy to an
all-rounder. His clothing now was
up to the minute, his talk up to the
second, and everything about him
was right on the dot; but in place
Of the rugged pink and brown of his
cheeks he now had massaged com
plexion, and there were pouches under
his eyes.

FILTRATION PLANTS.
White Quartz Sand Commonly Used In
Making Filter Beds.

In answer TO any inquiry from Min
nesota. requesting information con-
corning sand suitable for filters. the
United States geological survey states
that clear white quartz sand of the
proper size is the common material
used in filter beds. The specifications
for the filtration plants at Springfield,
Mass. and Toronto, Canada, are prac.
tically identical with those of the
Washington plant and are as follows:
''The filter sand shall be clean sand
with either sharp or rounded grains.
1t shall be entirely free from clay.
dust or organic impurities and shall.
IL necessary, be washed to remove
such materials from IL. The grains
shall. all of them. be Of hard mate-
rial which will not disintcgrate. The
effective size shall not be less than q. ..
millimeter nor more than 0.35 MILL
meter The uniformity coefiicient
shall not be more than 80. The sand
shall be free from dust and shall not
contain more than ] per cent finer
than O.13 millimeter and shall be en-
urely free from PARTICLES over . MILL
meters In diameter. The sand shall
not contain more than 2 per cent by
weight OF lime and magnesia taken TO
gether as carbonates. In all other re-
spects the sand shall he OF a quality
satisfactory to the engineer"
Gravel for the floor OF filters may be

nature. Gravel screened from hard
pan or clayey material cannot be suf-
ficiently cleaned. The gravel should
not contain more than n very small
amount OF shale or limestone and
should be washed entirely free from
