off for day and took me about thu
city. The most interesting place WI
visited was Juarez. We boarded ;
car bearing the name Mexico, but il
did not occur to me that this cal
would take us through the city ol
Juarez, as 1 did not suppose oul
street cars were operated in Mexico
However, we came to the Information.
al bridge, and, after an inspection by
one American and two Mexicans
crossed the bridge and rode to the
principal business center of Juarez
The street car line makes wide
loop through the city and is the only
electric line that I saw. We entered
sort Of "a curio store and bought
some postals to mail from Mexico
and then walked around the town.
My friend had camera and took
pictures, most of which were of Mexi
Gail children in characteristic poses.
Poor little things, how they did beg
for nickel! One picture was of an
cid man beggar sitting in corner
of an old building, while another was
laundry scene, in which several wo-
men were washing clothing in a dirty
irrigation ditch. The particular wo-
man whom we wished to snap was
scolding child on one side of her
and slapping another on the other
side. The place beside the ditch where
the women were washing seemed to
be sort of open air camping place
for the homeless, and the men sat
sleeping OF smoking while the women
worked. 1t was very depressing
place to me. In fact I saw nothing in
Juarez which interested me in the
least. 1t seemed to me all life and
ceased the moment we
crossed the bridge. saw only a few
Mexican soldiers there, not more than
half dozen. and their appearance
bears out the description l have read
of them as being half starved. etc.
My visit filed me with pity and dis
gust for the Mexican situation, and

want to do were it in my power to
settle the problem. OF course this
city may not be fair representation

LITTLE WATER IN STREAMS.
Reservoir and Reserve Are Very Low
Says W. L. Soehren.

The water in the reservoir is the
lowest it has even been according to
Superintendent w. L. Soehren. The
dry spell is the cause, he says.
"There just isn't the water in the
creeks and streams. In the belief
that there might be leaks I have
PERSONALLY patfolled the lines and
find no leaks. The streams are low.
"There is no danger of an i'm
mediate shortage nor is there danger
from a confagration. The supply,
as it is, is near million gallons,
hut il is lower than / want it 10 be. "

Frost Does Much Damage.

The frost of a week ago destroyed
500 worth of cantalOupes, 5000 worth
or tomatoes and all the cucumber
pickles Of the Brownbrook Market
garden. Similar losses are reported
all over the county. The wet season
delayed the vegetables about two
weeks and the early season frost then
did the rest.

said as much to the assistant manager,
expressing his wonder that Leroux-
whose account occasioned the bank
more anxiety and gave it more work
than that Of any other two depositors
had at last engaged me- who would
keep his business affairs in order.
Aud these were but a few Of the
golden apples which Mr.. Soames per-
mitted to slip through his fingers, so
steadfast, was he in his belief that
Gianapolis would be as good as his
word and make his fortune.
At the appointed time Soames hasten
ed to the corner of Victoria street, to
his appointment with Gianapolis. The
latter was prompt, for Soames per-
ceiyed his radiant smile afar off.
The saloon bar of the Red Lion was
affably proposed by Mr.. Gianapolis as
q suitable spot to discuss the business.
Soames agreed, not without certain
inward qualns, for the proximity Of
the hostelry to New Scotland Yard
was disquieting circumstance.
However, since Gianapolis affected
to treat their negotiations in the light
OF perfectly legitimate business, he put
up no protest and presently found him.
self seated in very coy corner OF
the saloon bar, with glass Of whisky
and soda on little table before him,
bubbling in a manner which rendered
it an agreeable and refreshing sight
in the eyes Of Mr.. Soames.
sYou know" said Gianapolis, the
gaze of his left eye bisecting that Of
his right in a most bewildering man.
I ner. "they call this the tees taber
nacle
/ .Indeed,'' said Soames, without en-
thusiasm, II suppose some OF the Scot
land Yard men do drop in now and
then"
Beyond doubt, my dear Soames."
Soames responded to his-companion's
radiant smile with smile of his own
by no means so pleasant to look upon.
Soames bad the type of face which in
repose might be the face Of an honest
man, but his smile would have led to
his instant arrest on any race course
| in Europe. 1t was the smile OF a pick
| pocl-"t.
| "Now," continued Gianapolis, "here
| is quarters salary in advance"
From a pocketbook he took a little
brown paper envelope and from the
brown paper envelope counted out four
! 6ve-pound notes, five golden sovereigns,
one half sovereign and ten shillings'
worth of silver. Soames' eyes glitter
ed delightedly..

thanks
"And, by the way" continued the 9TH
er, 'it is rather fortunate that you rang
me up this evening, because it has saw
ed me the trouble of ringing you up"
"What?' Soames' eyes half closed
from the bottom lids upward There
is something
There is a trif1ing service which l
require Of you-yes, my dear Soames."
'Is it,
eve will discuss the matter tomor-
row evening. Oh, 1t is mere trifie:
So goodby for the present"
Was ever a man Of business submit
ted to such an ordeal? After receiving
those instructions Soames had sat for
close upon an hour in his own room,
contemplating the six broken boxes,
containing In all some 500 cigars, but
the voice within prevailed. He must
court no chance Of losing his situa m:
therefore he discovered these six
boxes in a cupboard, much to Henry
Leroux's surprise.
Then Leroux regularly sent him to
the Charing Cross branch Of the Lon
don County and Suburban bank with
open checks. Sometimes he would be
sent to pay in, at other times to with
draw, the amounts involved varying
from / guinea to f150. But, as he
told himself on almost every occasion
that he went to Lerouxs bank, he was
deliberately throwing money away, de-
nberately closing his eyes to the good
fortune which this careless and gull
BILE man cast in his path. He observed
scrupulous honesty in all these deal
ings, with the result that the bank
