Areson counted it the most important
piece of work he had yet undertaken. His
competitors had been many, but he had
secured the five-million-dollar enterprise
by his skilful estimate of cost.
at would be easy enough to lose on the
job yet" Areson told Fanny, by way of
apologizing for the brevity of their we'd
ding journey. 1--WE got to watch every
turn of the wheel The figuring was
mighty close, and if I'm to wrench my
profit out of it I've got to stay on the
bridge. It's too bad to break into our
holiday, my charming one; but we'll
come back to Europe some day, and stay
as long as you like"
so Areson and his bride returned to
- America, and to Areson's home city.
Areson glowed with pride of his wife.
He was glad he had Settled down" at
last, and the second day of his return
found him in the office of well known
architect, arranging for home that should
house this beautiful woman fittingly.
He took Fanny on excursions about the
city, determined on having an ideal
situation for their new home. 1t was on
ole vi THESE journeys Oh reconnaissance
that Areson pointed out to her the tenn
porary crib he had built out in the lake
for the accommodation of the men who
were digging the tunnel beneath the
waters of the lake A trolley mile long,
supported on high steel trestles, ran from
the shore to this crib for the purpose of
conveying to land the limestone extracted
from the tunnel, which, Areson explained,
was valuable in road construction.
"That stone is one of the tricks by
which | recoup myself Areson said
Owe got to make money out of this thing,
Fanny. You need money, and | need it,
Well get everything we can out of this
life. It's the only one we're sure Of
One day he took her out in the tug that
carried supplies to the crib, and she was
permitted to go down into the tunnel
She was amazed at the magnitude of the
enterprise. The tunnel declared itself an
achievement even to her uneducated eyes;
and the sight of the activity there, with
scores of men at work beneath the waters,
impressed her imagination powerfully. 1t
diverted her, too, to be shown over the
crib, where the men lived day and night

each man being allowed only one night
out of fourteen at home.
"But it seems very bewildering to have
no yard or street," she said laughingly.
stepping out of the front door into deep
water certainly would get on my nerves. !"
Areson pointed out the narrow wharf
at which the tug had drawn up, where the
men-or at least a few of them at time
could sit if they pleased. But they were
working day and night, and at high ten
sion, and there was little time for leisure.
Exhausted, they sank into their beds, to
arise at the last possible moment and re-
turn to their subterranean labors But
they were fed, Areson said, like fighting
cocks. The Swedish chef had, indeed,
been presented to Mrs. Areson, and had
insisted on serving her some excellent lit
tie cakes and delicious coffee.
AS the tug bore Areson and Fanny away
from the place, she remarked casually:
81 hope there's no chance for fire there,
Jules. The building is only wood, after all.
ooh, there's mighty little chance of
fire, Areson declared. Il built it of the
cheapest material naturally. It's only
temporary thing.
w OuluH III De SAFER TO keep boats
moored at the wharf?7 Fanny inquired.
"Then, if anything happened, the men
could get safely away
"What are you worrying your pretty
head about?" Areson demanded. There
is a boat or two belonging to the place be-
sides, of course, this tug. But of course
| can't keep boats right under the mems
noses. 1t wouldn't do to be placing temp

He seemed little annoyed. and she
adroitly changed the conversation. There
had been, in the old days, certain salts
faction in disturbing Stephen. She had
liked to rouse him out of his Indifference.
But she was wary where Areson was con-
cerned. She knew that he was eager to
do everything for her comfort; and she
adored luxury.
In the old days she had had to scramble
out of bed early in the morning to dress
the children and herself, and to see that

A YEAR and day after Fanny's
~ divorce from Stephen Gowan, she
~ was married to Jules Areson. The
l. - weddinp took nlace in New York

L - wedding took place in New York,
with some of Areson's friends in atten-
dance. That they were persons of more
manner and distinction than she had
been accustomed to associate with filled
her with a naive joy. 1t seemed to put
behind her those hard, heavy years with
Stephen, when they had been poor and
strangers in strange city, and when the
children, Philip and Sara, had claimed
her day and night. She wondered now
how she had lived through those years
1t is true that her thoughts wandered
for swift second, now and then, to the
children. But what would have been the
sense, she angrily asked herself, of keep
ing up the pretense of home for them?
They We're better where they We're, in
their good schools, with leave to spend
alternate vacations with her.
The others, of course, would be spent
with their father Nor did she grudge
him so much of comfort as could be
derived from seeing them for that short
time. She did not want him to be I'M
happy. She merely asked the right to be
happy herself. She wanted happiness in
as many forms as she could get it. She
had beauty, and with it she had secured
a man of power, fortune, opportunity.
She was on the broad avenue of life now,
and the by-ways We're no longer her
necessity.
ARESON took her to Paris for their hon
eymoon, and there she came to full
realization of his importance in the world
of business. When she learned of the
place he held in the engineering world, of
the value attached to his opinion even in
Europe, she glowed for the first time
in her life with intense pride, COM
mingled of unselfish love and contented
parasitism. She asked no further glory
for herself than to be adored by this in
fluential man, who-she was dazzled to
learn-received for two hours consulta-
ton with specialists in Paris an honora-
rum which would have paid twice over
for their trip.
That their journey was so brief was the
penalty paid for success. Areson was
needed at home, where he was putting
in three-branched tunnel to provide his
city-or a portion of it--with water. The
scheme had dramatic features, considered
from an engineering standpoint, and

breakfast was properly served. Now,
when she awoke, maid drew her bath
and served breakfast to her in her room.
She unched with Areson downtown, shop
ping or going to a matinee afterward At
dinner she deliberately fascinated Areson
with her gaiety and her gentle impudences.
Afterward they went to the theater or to
concert; or Areson, perhaps, had a man
or two in. Fanny had few women friends
ABOUT five o'clock one morning there
came sharp ring at the telephone.
Fanny, who had not slept well, threw on
her gown and herself ran to the nstru-
ment.
Some one seemed to have been shouting
into it even before she put it to her ear
some one who was incoherently conveying
some terrible news.
What is it? What is it?" she shrilled.
II can't understand Please talk dis
tinctly."
Get MIR. Areson to the phone, for
Gods sake!' the thick voice importuned.
"Quick-for Gods sake, ma ami

dts something terrible, Jules!" she
cried. "They need you at the telephone,
Quick, quick!"
Fanny watched him as he took up the
receiver and listened to that stammering
voice. When he dropped the receiver and
dashed for his clothes, she flew to help
him, only asking:
Cant you tell me what it is, Jules?"
dts the crib, said Areson, biting off
his words. "It's burning. There are
hundred and fifty men there. And no
boat-the tug is ashore. There's ice all
around. There 's-there's dynamite there.
He gave her some rapid directions be-
fore he dashed out of the house She was
to ring up the captain of the tug. The
saving station-she was to call up tn. :,
too. After carrying out these orders she
wanted to-run down to the shore to see
what could be seen. She wondered if the
flames of the burning building were visible
over the ice; wondered how long it wo ID
take the tug to get up steam; wonder
If it could cut its way through the drifting
foes. But she could not go. She crept
into bed and lay there trembling.
Hours passed while she lay there, think
ing and trying not to think. Would they
blame him-blame her husband? If the
men died, would it be counted his fault?
She remembered that structure built of
wood, Jules had assured her that the tug

SUNDAY GIVEN CREDIT
Evangelist Said to Be Responsible For
Change of Public Sentiment Which

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Feb 12-Credit is given
to Billy Sunday for large part of the

council to close the saloons Saturday

running that way and it is an open
secret that the saloon petition is so
faulty that it will never stand the final
test OF the courts, still there was lack

That is the greatest news l have
had in six months. The city of Des
Moines is setting an example to all
municipalities of the United States
There is no doubt the city administra-
ton is supported by the people,"
The saloons are closed today because
of the holiday, but they will open to-
morrow for their last chance, at least
for long time. The petition of con-
sent Will not get thru the courts for
long time and most certainly will be
declared invalid.

over $250.O00 worth of liquors will be
moved away The city will lose a rev.
