CHAPTER xiii.
WORKING Tn.
CIVIL ENGINEER

Working Up.
The autumn went by as a dream.
Winter, warm and mild in that far
southern cline, was at hand before
Meade realized it. An ordinary engi-
neer of half the ability of Bertram
Meade, so suddenly reduced to the
ranks, would have chafed against the
position of subordination and would
have resented the humble duties with
which he was charged. But Meade
was happy to be following, even in this
extremely modest way, the profession
that he loved. And he did his unim-
Iportant work with zeal and care. 1t
is not much to say, but he was the
most efficient Of the junior engineering
force on the dam.
1t was not because Meade was I'M
social that he kept to himself-not at
all. From his own galvanized-iron
quarters he used to stare longingly at
the men grouped around the big Gimp
fires, for the nights were growing chill,
smoking and laughing, exchanging ex-
periences and telling stories. Nothing
would have pleased him better than to
have Joined in, and he could have told
stories and related experiences that
would have been unique even in that
gay crowd of young Adventures. But
he did not dare. He feared to betray
himself. What he wanted above ev-
erything was to preserve his incognito.
1t would be fatal to his chances of ever
working up to anything worth while
If they found out who he was.
And he had tremendous pride to
sustain him. They respected him now.
AS matter of fact they put his with
drawal of himself down to vagaries Of
temperament or causes they could not
imagine, and they grew rather to like
him even as they left him alone. And
a few of the men of the humber sort
to whom he had been kind on occasion.
and helpful, were stoutly devoted 10
him.
The idleness of an aimless life did
not appeal to him even in his off-duty
periods, Doing nothing had no attrac-
ton. He could not get relief that way.
Even rambling alone about the hills
would not serve. SO quick and active
q man, so vigorous and buoyant a
spirit, so strong body and mind were
not calculated for aimless Wandering.
Meade was very accomplished en-
gineer indeed. There was no branch
of the art about which he did not know
a little, although hydraulics and struc-
tural steel were the things that most
appealed to him. He got relief in the
duality of his affections for these
branches of his profession. Neither one
of them ever palled on him because he
did not work monotonously at either of
them. He had a natural instinct for
topography, and instead of purpose
lessly strolling about the country, he
made careful inspection of the valley
which was to be converted into a huge
reservoir by the dam.
The dam itself was, perhaps, an
eighth of a mile long at the bottom and
touched the receding hill on one side
and the spur of Spanish mesa on the
other at the top-a huge mound of
earth with a clay core extending from

THE JUGGERNAJpT FESTIVAL

The first attempt to suppress the fanatical and suicidal features of the Juggernaut Car procession, or Rath Jattra, in India, was made sixty-six years ago today, when the Indian government suspended the state a1- lowance to the temple of Juggernaut and prohibited the annual procession unless the car was adequately pro- tected so that fanatics 1could not throw themselves beneath the wheels. For some years this order was obey. ed but in 1864 number of pilgrims were crushed by the wheels and in 1878 a dozen fanatics were s.acciden- tal1y'' killed. Since then the Jugger- naut car has claimed mo victims and the festival has declined in import ance Juggernaut, ors Lord Of the World'' is an idol and, the main seat of his worship is at Puri. in Orissa- Juggernaut's car, in which the idol is placed during the festival parade, is forty-four feet high, has sixteen wheels, each over six feet in diameter and is so heavy as to instantly crush the life out of those who seek martyr dom beneath it's wheels. Formerly over a million pilgrims annually wis., fled the god, and for a distance uE fifty miles the road over which the car passed was covered with mangled corpses of the fanatics.

DAVY JONES HAD LONG
 CAREER IN AMERICA
 LEAGUE AND DID WELL

Davy Jones. the veteran outfelder, who last played with the Toledo team of the American Association, will be thirty-seven years old tomorrow. He reached the height of his fame with the Chicago White Sox, whom he left during the 1913 season to go to To- ledo. Jones was born at Cambria, Wis, June 30, 1880, and first attrac- ted attention to his baseball ability when he was playing with the Dixon College team. After leaving col- lege. in 1901. Davy joined the Rock ford club of the Three-I league, and later in the same year was sold to the Milwaukee club of the American Association. E
 The Brewers turned him over to the St. Louis Americans, but Davy jump ed to the National League and from 1902 to 1904 played in the outfield for the Chicago Cubs He made his first trip back to the minors in 1905. when he played with Minneapolis. He was the star of the American Asso- citation that year and finished the sea- son with a batting average of .346.a His American League career began in 1906, with Detroit, and he was one of the stars of that team until he was sold to the White Sox in 1913
 In his last year with the Tigers. Davy batted. .294, which is pretty good. for an old timer. Detroit planned to send him to Kansas City, to close up a deal, but the refusal of Chicago to waive sent him to the White, Sox. He didn't stay with them long, how ever, for they sent him on to Toledo very soon after acquiring him. Davy Jones was the last of the five famous Joneses who a few years ago were among the American League stars. Fielder Jones. manager of the St. Louis Americans. was one of the fa- nous clan.

 JACKSON TONIGHT

New York June 2s.-Johnny Dun- dee meets Willie Jackson at St. Mich o1as rink tonight. Willie is the lad who hit Johnny on the chin over in P'hii1y a few months back and Johnny has always claimed that it was a fluke punch. Tonight Willie will endeavor to prove te Johnny that it was an hon. estte-goedness wa1Iop and expects to duplicate the K. 6, s1aHn.
 1t ought to be a, great fight. The one in P7ai11y was full of action up to the, time of the finish. Both have trained faithfully. If Jackson again stops the Italian he will be in line for a scrap with Benny Leonard for the lightweight crown. If Dundee can turn the tables on Willie, then he can make matters uncomfortable fez the Gibson entry,
