Gee, that's a shame, old fellow"
said Warren; land it's my fault, too.

Honestly, Babbie, it was all my fault" "
he persisted.

II would seem funny to have Warren
doing odd jobs about the house. He
never thought of making little per-
sOnal sacrifices for Helen, although he
was always perfectly willing to pay for
things that had to be done.
After they were all four seated be-

that her glass was different from the
others. but it happened that she was
not conscious of anything strange until
she felt an alarming cold stream run

10 her throat.
Even then she suspected nothing,
thinking that perhaps the glass had
been filled to oVerflowi lg and she had
tipped it up too suddenly. In conse-
Quence, she raised it again, and a little
further this time. Immediately a
fine stream of water, or rather several
fine streams poured down the front

TO BLOW UP WEIR
AT CANAL HEADING

Vice President Platt of the S. +.
Company this afternoon wired an
order that the weir constructed to
divert water into the Imperial ca
nal at Andrade, be blown up.
This indicates that the railroad
officials consider the flood worthy
of quick attention. The weir was
constructed last summer following
the flood, as temporary provis-
ion, and its destruction at this
time signifies nothing in the wa
ter service of the valley with a
normal discharge of the river.
At 2:15 Engineer lockwood was
still without information from the
flood in Arizona, and the Irriga-
ton District knew nothing of the
above order from the Southern
Pacific Company until Informed Of
it by the Press.
President Hamilton of the IT.
rigatiOn District said late this
afternoon that Receiver HOlabird
had instructed Engineer Allison
of the c. ID. receivership to be
prepared to blow up the weir at
any time, and that this prepara-
ton had been made. Engineer
Allison is on the ground pre-
pared to act, and he presumed the
weir had been blow up by this
time.
