BOAT SPILLS JEFF
 ADAMS INTO DIRTY
 SALT RIVER WATER
Sheriff of Maricopa County Sports Around In Turbu-
 lent Stream

owing to the fact that the rapidly rising waters of tho Salt River yester- day made it advisable for the residents of the river bottoms to seek higher lands, Sheriff Adams spent good part of yesterday in the lowlands warning all persons that the flood was coming and suggesting that they get out of the path of the waters. Most of the people however, paid but little at tcntion to the warnings of the officer, evidently being in about the same frame of mind as were the antediluvian residents of the old world at the time when they watched Noah build his ark
 and figured that the waters wouldn't
 get very high, and that Noah was dis
 blazing a very low grade of mentality in contending that the waters would
 soon rise and encompass them
 However, Jeff, accompanied by Charles Cox, bailiff in the superior
 court, and Harrison Williams, deputy sheriff, spent> much time in sailing about the inundated regions in a small | boat and telling the natives to beat | it'', and offering help to all who needed | it. The crew had just sailed out to Il small island and had suggested to the | lone occupant of the place that it
 would be a wise move to get into the mainland. The man did not see the wisdom of the sheriff's injunction and
 refused to leave his island home. Jeff l ther started for the shore and was | paddling his bark with iusty strokes | when the boat hit some sort of an Ob- l structior in the water and promptly turned over precipitating the crew ot three into the muddy waters of the | raging Salt river. The boat took the opportunity to escape in the mecle, l which followed. and the three officers

Directing the Battle.


 Great soldiers are often represented as enjoying the tumult of war; as a matter of fact, they are usually lovers of peace, and their immense responsi- bility calms them in the most exciting moments. The man who directs a great battle under modern conditions rarely wears glittering uniform. He is often miles away from the front, seated sometimes at pine table set in the open, covered with telephones and telegraph instruments, with a group of aides about him whose work no longer is to gallop, with glittering orders on their breasts, over bullet swept fields, but to receive and trans init messages.
 On the table before him is chart on which the position of every divi- sion is marked; and as the divisions change positions these changes are recorded, so that the eye of the com mander in chief sees before him in miniature the movements of all the troops engaged at distance. He is surrounded by quietness; and his mood is one of intense concentration.

 "Oh, Arthur" she said, q had such a terrible dream last night!'
 "Silly little girl" answered Pop- shaw, blindly. Fancy letting dream bring wrinkles to such q sweet face. Dreams always go by contrary, you know"
 "Oh," she cried, in tones of relief, I'm so pleased to hear that!"
 "Pray, what was this terrible dream, pet?" blundered POpshaw.
 "We-well, Arthur" she stammered with vain assumption of maidenly coyness, q dreamt I wasn't going to be Mrs. PopShaw."

life since early childhood had not been vain, trifiing and complaining at times, but she was not unkind outright to Ellice. Her charge did most of the housework and was a busy bustling little creature.
 s'There's only two Of us, though" Ellice would say brightly, land Aunty is not untidV, so there is not such a great heap to do, except on cleaning day"
 It had been a year back when Roland Dexter came into her life. He was a gay, needless young fellow, the son of a rich father living in the next will lage. He had all but made serious love to Ellice, when all her dreams were shattered. He did not call upon her for a week, and when Ellice began to inquire around, her discoveries re- suited in sorrow and tears many sleep less nights thereafter.
 What she gleaned from her inquiries was that Roland Dexter had got into trouble" Some valuable iewelry dis appeared from the safe in his fathers office and he was suspected. Mir. DeX- ter was a stern, determined man and had driven this "black sheep of the family" into exile. Rumor had it that Roland was banished to some remote Western ranch. There was hint of his arrest being threatened had he re- mained in town. Guilty or innocent, however, Roland Dexter had faded out of Ellice's life. He had not written her line since his abrupt disappear ance.
 Lacey Delavan was somewhat of a chum of Roland, but when Ellice asked him for details of the cause of Ro- lands departure Delavan simply shrugged his shoulders declared he knew only that it was "some jail of fense" and Ellice almost hated him for the cold-blooded sneer Since then Delavan had worked himself into the good graces of Mrs. Barton and called regularly upon Ellice once week, despite the cold and distant way in which Ellice received his unwelcome attentions.
 She was all on fire with indignation and resentment one especial evening when he called, for there had appeared in the weekly paper one of those broad hints at "a local engagement between two of the bright stars in our social Armament" The initials palpably in. dicated Ellice and Delavan Ellice fairly cried over it. When Delavar called, however, his disavowal of any hand in the publicity seemed so sin cere that Ellice exculpated him, but she did not change her disaffecteC hearing towards him in any way.
 Of all this Ellice was thinking as she tidied up the kitchen, removed hel work apron and went into the sitting room to rest. She was, indeed, tired for she had worked hard, and sht drifted into a delicious slumber before she knew it. The old clock janglin, out five awakened her. Ellice jumped up and hurried to the kitchen shed tt remove the doughnuts and cookies tc their respective pantry crooks. for Mrs
