With a chuckle, Alan obediently
stretched himself out on the deck.

"Well?"

about this young woman below. To
me, she's the same that tried to send

Gus commented "Of course, l always
did say that truth was a stranger to

talk you insensible."
His accents already merging in with
bubbling of the wake, and the many
toned composite voice of the ship in
being, Inconsistencies like a cloud
descended upon Alan's overwearied
faculties.
He woke mutinously, with yawn
and SILVER in the gray Of a furnished
daybreak, to find that fog pressed
heavily upon the face Of the waters, a
mist so thick that from the stern the
waist of the vessel was almost invis-

Barcus stood over him, at the wheel,
fairly Keeling with WEAKNESS, his eyes
blood-shot, swollen, and half-closed In
a face like a mask of fatigue.

he apologized thickly; stood it about
as long as l can. Take your trick and
give me forty winks."
Grateful solicitude brought Alan in

Observing this, one Of the men In

him to the other, addressing Judith
for permission to prevent the loss OF
the lifeboat. She stopped him with
peremptory gesture.
"No-let it go. We're better ofr

Straining forward in the grasp OF
her guard, Rose implored her sisters

accompanied by the exhibition Of AM

the sudden roar OF a steamship fog

In the course Of time, beginning to

two marooned gentlemen said:

The other replied: did they?"

CITY SAVES MONEY
On WATER EXPENSE
Economy of $337.76 Effected
First Month After Board of
Works Acts.

During the month of October, the
city administration effected a saving
of $337.76 on the water bill compared
with September. the first month that
the city was required to pay for the
water used. According to the bill, the
total cost of water for municipal use
during the month of September was
$66O56, while in October, the bill
amounted to $322.8O
The greatest saving was made in
the bill for fountains and flush tanks
which amounted to $269.S3 A saw
ing also was realized in the street
flusher, which cost the city for water
alone, $13.43 compared with $4233 in
September.
1t Is the opinion of the city Off
Gals that even a greater saving can
be realized next month. In the item
for the water for the fountains, it is
believed there can be a reduction. The
police on night duty will be instruct
ed to turn the fountains off from mid
night until early morning. Smaller
outlets on the fountains have also
been placed during the past month and
had much to do with the reduction.

years finally became so deaf he could
not hear the sound of a steam engine,
bells or voices. After vainly seeking
relief he was compelled to give up his
position. His case seemed hopeless.
His deafness was aggravated by head
disturbances, dry catarrh, nervous
ness and dependency.
To the surprise of all, he began to
hear and continued improving until he
could listen to conversations, c(klld
hear a train at a distance and even the
singing of the birds in the trees. His
