stories OF love anf domestic bliss or

And then, as you probably know. al
most everyone thinks he knows more
about other branches OF business than
the one In which he Is engaged.
The average man can recall the time
when he thought the other fellows job
was much easier than his, and was
haunted more or less with the notion
that If he had taken up almost any
sllng but what he had he would have
made great success OF II.

No Joint II. b. C. Hospital.

The matter OF joining with Menom-
lnee, Delta and Dickinson counties fo-
the erection OF a tuberculosis sanitor-
ium was taken up and talked over at
length. letter was presented from
a committee from the three counties
asking that some action be taken and
explaining it at length.
It was figured that it would take
about $4,000 from each county to
erect the buildings and that money
would have to be raised by bond IS
sue.
The county voted to Join with Co
gebic some two years ago. but since
that time Gogebic has decided to go
il alone and erect sanitorium of itA
own within its borders and so the
Iron county board had kind OF grown
cold upon the proposal to erect hos
pital at all.
It was suggested that as there was
change being made In the method %
handling the poor that there might be
developments in connection with the
county house in the near future that
would leave some buildings available
for tubercular ward SO the super
visors though best not to take any
steps at this time and the other coun-
Gave $4,000 to the Fair.
The Iron County Agricultural So
ciety was represented by several OF

lied report to the board detailing all
OF the receipts and expenditures of
the society for the past year His
report showed that the society owned

the county donate that amount so as
to clean up all Of the debts and place
the society out OF the red.
In response to question by Chair
man Richards, Mr. Murphy stated that
the building Ia all completed at the
: fair grounds for some time to come
and that If the board would grant the
amount asked the society will not
come again asking for an appropria-
ton.

carried that the srm OF $4,000 be don

CHAPTER XVI.
The Ancient Art of Fascination.

And much Of the last wild hurricane
Of work took place under the observa-
ton Of a woman!
From the top of the big mesa there
was a clear view of the new reservoir,
from the dam on one side far back into
the hills on the other. In spite Of
the tremendous downpour and the
fierce gale Helen Illingworth stood ex-
posed to both attacks, and, indeed, in
different to them-albeit protected by
slicker and boots and sou'wester- fas-
cinated by the titanic struggle between
nature and man of which she was a
witness.
The general investigation by Rodney
and Miss nlingworth had produced
no results. A careful study of Rod
ney's notes upon the subject had only
served the more thoroughly to convince
them that Meade was blameless. But
the most assiduous effort with the
heartiest will in the world and the
promptings Of devotion and affection
could not make case out Of these
suggestions and their differences that
would hold water. They could not es-
tablish their contention beyond perad-
venture in the face of Meade's direct
admission and Shurtliff's corrobora-

Vandeventer looked at him sharply.
An idea suddenly came to him. Meade
had turned away his head as he real
lied his slip, SO he did not observe the
light in Vandeventer's eyes. However,
the resident engineer was good sort.
"YOu are right" he said quickly. II
hate to call out the men, but we've got
little chance, now the rain has
stopped, and we can work to advantage
in spite Of all this awful mud"-he lift
ed his foot up and disclosed it caked
and clOgged with masses. 'I'll take
charge in the center here, and Stafford
on the left, and I'm going to give you
charge Of the east end of the dam, over
by the spillway. If only those drills
had been here six weeks ago."
"We might set the men to work on
that rock now" said Meade.
''It would be useless. There's too
much Of it. No, if we're going to save
the dam, we've got to build it up and
try to keep ahead of the waters if
they rise any more. The higher we
can build it the greater will be the
head on the spillway, and the more
will be discharged. I'll turn the men
out at once"
'But what are you going to do?"
'I'm going to palisade the top of the
dam. There's plenty of timber already
cut down, and we will cut lot of
young pines and build a palisade wall
of timber across the top three or four
feet back from the edge. Well banked
on the downstream side, it may hold"
ut might be worth while to line that
palisade with galvanized iron sheets
from the houses" said Meade.
"a good idea," said Vandeventer,
"and We'll pile what underbrush and
small stuff we have in front Of the
palisade and heap what rocks we can
find on top Of that, and we'll bank it
up on the other side with earth. It's a
poor dependence, but it will hold for a
while anyway, and every moment of
time may be precious"
''How about sandbags, sir?'
"We've got few hundred cement
bags, but not enough. l wish we had
a few thousand; however, we will fill
what we have, and if the water rises
and begins to trickle over the top and
through the lpalisade, We'll jam those
down at the danger points. Can you
suggest anything more?"
Nothing"
"Good. Well turn out the men.
They've had six hours sleep anyway"

The Secret of Youth.

After all, the plain truth is that ad-
venture consists less in the experiences
one actually has than in the indefatiga-
BILE expectancy with which one awaits
them, writes Edgar J. Goodspeed in the
Atlantic. Indeed, sometimes fear that
people must be divided into those who
have adventures and those who appre-
ciate them. And between the two the
affinity for adventure is greater treas
ure than the experiencing Of it. If we
are possessed Of the affinity, adventure
itself is, at most, just round the cor
ner from us. This opens the life of
adventure to all who crave it. What
possibilities lie in merely crossing
street, for example! Some one re-
marked the other day as he lodged
across among the motorcars, "Why not
take a chance now and then and lead
a real life for q few minutes?"
therefore recommend the life Of ad
venture. 1t conceives each day as a
fresh enterprise, full Of delightful pos
sibilities and promise, and so preserves
the wine of life from growing fiat.
Here is the secret Of youth;
