DALLAS. Tex, Aug. 1s-with in
formation from Galveston and other
points on the Texas southeast gulf
coast slowly sitting through. 1t
seer9ed certain early today that the
terrific tropical storm Of this week
had caused a comparatively small
loss of life and that the destruction
OF property in the city of Galveston
at least was small, as compared TO
the storm Of 1900. Eha. otsle.pEWTT
Der of lives lost SO far as dehnttely
reorted was about 200. The damage
lin Galveston this week based upon
meager reports was placed at three
million dollars with the loss of four
teen lives. In 1900, 5000 persons
met death and the property loss
reached 100000. Reports were
that the Galveston sea wall was
largely responsible for saving the
city from worse fate than it sur
fered fifteen years ago. Earlier re
ports had placed the damage in Cal
weston as high az $15,00o.000 but
this appartntly was disproved by
later advices brought out by newspa-
per men and other persons.

Fires Under Control
Fires which have been raging in
Galveston were reported under con-
troll last night, this item Of damage
having been estimated at an excess
Of $350.O00. There was no train
service out Of or into the city and
the telegraph and telephone facil-
titles destroyed tarly Monday night
still were out Of commission with
prospects of their restoration within
the next twenty-four hours very
doubtful. The only means Of trans
portation there Is by boats. Reports
of footing by negroes and
the killing of several C the hooters by
soldiers have not been confirmed and
it is stated the city was placed under
martial law as matter Of precau-
ton. Next to Galveston the greatest
property loss reported was at Hous-
ton where the damage was said to
,emoeeds two million dollars. The ex-
act conditions in coast towns were
not known, these points being $50

san ANTONIO, Tex, Aug. 10
The total number of lives lost in
Texas and at sea along the Texas
coast as a result of the tropical
storm may reach 400, according to
information received here today. The
information was brought here this
morning by Charles S. Hayden, staff
correspondent OF the Light, who re-
turned today from Houston and Gal
weston.
Mr. Hayden was sent to Galveston
Monday night ana; was in the first
boat to reach the stricken city from
the mainland. Up to noon Wednes-
day only fourteen bodies had been re-
covered at Galveston and it is be-
lieved doubtful that If many more
than this were drowned in the city it
self. The heaviest loss OF life, ac-
cording to Ms.- Hayden, will be found
to have been by the shipping and
dredges anchored out In the bay.

Nora, is anything the matter with
you?" asked Helen suspiciously, look
ing up from the breakfast table where
she was lingering overher coffee. Helen
liked to linger mornings at breakfast,
and usually it was a full hour before
she began her morning duties. Nora
had waited on the table that morning
with red eyelids. and Warren had re-
marked that something must have
come in the mail to make her un-
happy.
Did you get a letter this morning,
Nora" she asked as Nora came in
with some fresh toast.
NO. Mrs. Curtis said Nora with
suspicious sniff.
What is it then? You have been
unhappy ever since breakfast. Mr..
Curtis noticed it,"
I'm sorry. Mrs. Curtis. didn't
mean to have any one notice It. Oh,
ma'am. I'm 50 unhappy and Nora
begai- to cry.
Helen got up and put her arm
around the girl comfortingly. Now
what is it, Nora? you can tell me you
know"
Nora proceeded TO cry for a few
minutes and Helen waited rather i'm
patiently to hear what had happened.
She could not understand what it was
unless letter had come that morn
ing. She had not noticed it in the
mail, but there was usually a lot and
Nora might have been expecting it
and so had gone through it before
putting il on the table. Warren. like
a great many other men, could not
eat breakfast without his morning pa

Alice Nielsen, who is one of the

one of the most varied careers of anv

Beginning in her teens at the famous
old Tfvoli of many memories, she
Joined the Bostonians as prima
donna, and in very short time was
so popular that she was at the head
OF her own opera company, touring
the country. Taking her company TO
Europe, she there decided to devote
herself to grand opera, relinquishing
the fame and fortune that had come
beginning all over again as a student.
Since then she has sung continually in

Helen Asks If There Was Quarrel
Helen felt an impulse to laugh, and
then, as the thought that she could
help Nora occurred to her, she was
glad. Then she saw Nora's grief was
probably genuine and her first
thought was TO comfort the girl.

Helen thought to herself that un-
consciously Nora was voicing common
! philosophy. She had been Jealous OF
a girl who dressed better than she
did and was prettier. 1t was the sur
! Vival of the fittest with almost every
class to-day. and Nora was one of the

for doubling his word"

She Suggests That Nora Write a Note

hardly knew what to tell Nora to do
We'll, I'll tell you, Nora" she said
finally. You write him a little note
and tell him you're sorry. Maybe he
told you that just because he was
angry"
"Oh, no. Mrs. Curtis, he really means
it; he said that Della had pretty hair
and a new hat" And Nora proceeded
to weep again.
HE probably said that after YOU
had told him you didn't believe him. -
Yes, ma'am. he did. Do you think
it was that"
