the water were as high as the top
there'd only be two feet Of head in the
uncomplcted spillway, and that
wouldn't be enough to discharge 1t at
the rate it's been coming tn.".
"Of course" said Vandeventer
thoughtfully. "And if the dam goes"
he added, "there are ten miles Of back
water up there and millions OF cubic
yards impounded, which would sweep
down the valley. There wouldn't be
a thing left Of the camp, the town, the
new railroad bridge, or. anything else"
Coming on top Of the International
the loss of this big and expensive via
duct would about finish the Martlet
company" said Meade thoughtlessly.
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 a good sort.
"You DIRE right" he said quickly. Il
hate to call out the men, but we've got
a 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. "Ill 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."
1--WE might set the men to work on
that rock now," said Meade.
1T 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 II
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 a lot Of
young pines and build 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 Handkerchief,
"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 1t
up on the other side with earth. It's a
poor dependence, but it will hold for
while anyway, and every moment OF
time may be precious"
GLOW about sandbags, sir?"
"We've got a few hundred cement
bags, but not enough. I wish we had
few thousand; however, we will fill
what we have, and if the water rises
and begins to trickle over the top and
through the palisade, Well jam those
down at the danger points. Can you
suggest anything more?"
"Nothing."
"Good. Well turn out the men.

dig and drive, carry and pile. Throw
ing off his coat, Vandeventer seized a
spade and began to work like any
other laborer, and the rest of the
higher men followed his example.
At six o'clock the blackness hanging
in the northwest began to turn their
way, It was coming down the noun
tain. It was headed for the valley.
Vandeventer saw it, every teamster,
every common laborer saw it. It was
coming. Unless heaven itself inter-
fered there would be more rain. They
had worked desperately before, but
now they applied themselves to their
tasks with a kind of wild fury. 4

THE WAY TO SUCCEED
Charles n. echwab's Advice to Young
Men Starting TO Work.

In his book Succeeding With What
You Have" Charles NJ. Schwab says:
when I took charge Of the Carne-
young chap employed there as water
boy. A little later be became a clerk
had habit o. going over the works
ST unusual hours, TO see how every
thing was moving. l noticed that no
matter what time I came around
would find the former water boy hard
at work. never learned when be
slept.
NOW, there seemed to be nothing
remarkable about this fellow except
his industry. The only way In which
be attracted attention was by working
longer hours aud getting better results
than any one else. II was not long
before we needed an assistant super
lntendent. The ex-water boy got the
job. When we established our great
nrmo- plate department there was not
the slightest difference OF opinion
among the partners as to who should
be manager IL was the youth with
the pendant for overtime service.
To-day that ex-water boy. Aiva G..
Dinkey. is head OF great steel COM
pany and very wealthy. His rise was
predicated on his willingness to work
as long as there was any work to be
done.
III young man entering industry
were to ask me for advice l would
say. Don't lie afraid OF imperiling your
health by giving few extra hours
to the company that pays you your
salary. Don't be reluctant about put
ting on overalls. Bare hands grip
success better than kid gloves. Be
thorough in all things. no matter how
small or distasteful. The man who
counts his hours and kicks about his
salary Is self elected failure.
1T may be In seemingly unimpor-
tant things that a man expresses his
passion for perfection, yet they will
count heavily In the long run. When
you go into your customary barber
shop you will wait for the man who
gives you little better shave, little
trimmer hair cut Business leaders
are looking for the same things In
their. Offices that you look for in the
barber shop.
THE real test of business greatness
Is In giving opportunity to others.
Many business mon fail in this be
cause they are thinking only Of per
sonal glory"

POWER OF A WIFE.

Charles NJ. Schwab considers that
the attitude of mans wife has vast
deal 10 do with his success In business.
In succeeding With What You Have"
the little book he has published. the
famous steel master pays the following
tribute to Mrs Schwab:
Il can never express the wonderful
help Mrs. Schwab has been to me from
the very start. One time a group OF
men offered me large sum, $G0. 00o.0 600,
/ believe. for half OF Bethlehem. !

This is a big sum- I said. Half Of

of over 100000 month for the rest

ave wouldn't sell for i've times
that my wife said What would do
with the money? And what would you
do without your work."
Il have seen more men fail In bust
ness through the attitude taken by
their wives in their younger days than
from all the vices put together. A nag
ging wife or one who Is not In sym
patty with a mans work, who expects
impossible things OF him and Is incapa-
BILE Of taking general intelligent In

THE LIBERTY LOAN.
Only One Day More In Which to
800 Your Btu

The hard work which the Hancock
county committee on the Liberty loan
has been putting into the campaign is
beginning to tell, and during these clos
ing days the subscriptions are coming in
in more gratifying volume. 1t has been
largely a campaign of education, for 1t
has been the effort Of the committee to
place these bonds in the hands OF people
not familiar with bonds, and that meant
much explanation as to the nature OF the
bond. its negotiability and its safety.
This the committee has done.
Hancock county must do her part in
this campaign. The Federal reserve bank
says New England is behind her sllot-
ment. There is but one day more in
which subscriptions may be taken in
Ellsworth. The banks here have been adj
vised that the subscriptions will close in
Boston at noon Friday. That means that
subscriptions taken here must go out not
later than the night mail.
Fer the accommodation Of subscribers
who are unable to subscribe during the
regular business hours, the Burrill bauk
and the Union Trust Co. will be open
this evening and to- morrow evening from
to 9 o'clock.
As a part OF the campaign, meeting
OF women of Ellsworth was held at the
Congregational vestay Monday afternoon.
Congressman Peters and o. w. Tapley
explained the bond and why it was q
matter OF patriotism to subscribe.
Several additional subscriptions have
resulted from that meeting.
As feature of the campaign. in ELS
worth as in towns all over the country.
bells have been rung and whistles blown
at O'Clock each night, beginning with
Monday. Monday night four blasts were
blown, indicating but four days remain
ing before subscriptions closed; Tuesday.
three blasts, tonight, two blasts will be
blown, and to- morrow night, one blast,
indicating but one more day remaining,
but in Ellsworth it will mark the close OF
the campaign.
At noon Monday, to mark the close OF
the campaign in the entire country, bells
viii he rcng aEd whistles blown in every
city, town and hamlet, and at the same
hour the old Liberty bell in Philadelphia,
which III years Sgo proclaimed the birth
OF this country, will ring once more in
the.cause of liberty.
