Gentlemen:

At meeting of the citizens of Al
giers, held in Clark's Hall las
night, which meeting was attended b.
a number OF ladies, the report of tn
Committee that had been appointed
at a previous meeting. which Com
mittee waited upon your Manager
Mr.. Walter Verlander. on Saturday
the 9Th inst. was approved. in th'
matter of the locating of the TEN
pOrary house and the five foot pedes
train gangway. these two items hav
ing been specifically agreed upon a.
a result of the conference mentioned
adopted, however, fnstructing the
standing committee 10 call your at
tention to the fact that the gangway
presently being installed is not sat
isfactory, either in width or con,
struction and will not be accepted
as being what the people of Algiers
feel they are reasonably entitled to In
this particular respect, even under
present physical conditions, as af.
forded by said present wagon gang
| way.
The said resolution further in
structed the committee to request
from your company the following
improvements TO the temporary
house presently being placed in posi-
ton, viz: To place tongued-and-
grooved flooring over the proposed
IL planks. in order to close the
crevices of said crude floor: to line
the walls and ceiling OF said build
ing. also with tongued and grooved
material, in order to ameliorate the
effect OF cold or heat upon the pres
ent iron surfaces Of said crude struc-
ture; TO provide suitable glazed sash
doors OF ample size in the inland end
or said house, for the ingress of city,
bound passengers; to provide similar
doors on the inside of present iron
doors opening upon the gangway-
which latter doors should be made
to roll along the wall of building. in
stead of swinging therefrom as at
present; to provide suitable glazed
sash windows of ample size in river
ward end of building; place a shed.
supported by brackets, completely
around said house, so that said doors
and windows may be kept open for
ventilation purposes during rains.
The intent being that this temporary
waiting-room in its exposed position
be made as reasonably comfortable
as possible during any and all kinds
OF weather. The above being in
general way in line with what Mr.
Nerlander intimated he proposed to
do, in addition to providing the
necessary heating during the coming
cold months. it was hoped by those
the meeting that the
above requirements would be found
necessary by your Company and
therefore supplied before said tenn
porary quarters are considered COM
plete.
Inc committee will be pleased to
'all upon Mr.. Verlander on Monday.
The 22nd at 10 a. m, to discuss any
further details which may be found |
necessary.

as at present. These boats would
be much stronger than the present
Pickles" with about 1-3 more
power, and would be provided with
spacious cabins on the upper deck
to which passengers would be trans
fcrred directly from the shore by ele-
waited gangways suspended in the
same manner as those presently
used.
Pontcons would be OF steel and of
sufficient buoyancy to sustain not
only the weight of the vehicles pass
ing over them, but also sufficient
Gantities of coal in chutes which,
registering with the boats bins. said
fuel would be dropped into said re-
ceptacles immediatly upon the boat
being lnoored, thus entailing no de-
lay whatever.
Boats would land alongside these
pontoons as at present, parallel with
the shore. so that vehicles would be
going off OF one end, while others
would be coming on board at the
other end.
Such craft would, at the city
wharf for instance, swing on an up
stream stern-line instead OF on a
downstream line as at present.
whereby said double-ender would
head directly for the Algiers wharf
without describing the big letter S..
which entails so much loss of time
upon the present ferries. The ques-
ton as to what character of ferry
house the present company should
be expected to build on the Algiers
side, now that its franchise will ex-
pire with the year 1921, will also, |
more than likely, be taken up at the |
Leagues next meeting.

Dan answered him with startling
emphasis. But the look that he wore
said more than his words.
They trudged on, and Lennox grew
thoughtful. He was recalling the pic
ture that he had seen when he had
whirled to look ut Dan, Immediately
after the deer had leaped from its
bed. 1t puzzled him little. He had

take years to learn. Dan had seemed
to know by instinct. Could 1t be, after
all, that this slender weakling. even
now bowed down with terrible
malady, had inherited the true from
tiersman's instincts of his ancestors?
The result of this thought was at
least to hover in the near vicinity of
n certain conclusion. That conclusion
was that at least few of the char
acteristics of his grandfather had
been passed down to Dan. 1t meant
that possibly, II time remained, he
would not turn out such weakllng,
after all. OF course his courage, his
nerve, had yet to be tested; but the
fact remained that long generations
of frontiersmen ancestors had left this

and wilderness inhabitant such as his
ancestors had been before him.
They were slipping along over the
pine needles. their eyes intent on the
trail ahead. And then Lennox saw a
curious thing. He beheld Dan sud-
denly stop In the trail and turn his
eyes toward heavy thicket that lay
perhaps one hundred yards to their
right. For an instant he looked al
most like wild creature himself. His
head was lowered. rs II he were lis
tening. His muscles were set md

Lennox had prided himself that he
had retained all the powers of his five
senses, and that few men In the noun
tains had keener ears than he. Yet
II was truth that at first he only knew
the silence, and the stir and pulse Of
his own blood. He assumed then that

the thickets with his eyes.
Then Dan whispered. Ever so soft

Ience. There's something living In
that thicket."
Then Lennox heard II, too. As they
stood still. the sound became ever
clearer and more pronounced. Some

them; and twigs were cracking be-
meath its feet. The sounds were rath-
er subdued. and yet, as the animal ap-
preached. both of them instinctively
knew that they were extremely lond
for the usual footsteps of any Of the
wild creatures.
"What is it?" Dan asked quietly.
Lennox was so Intrigued by the
sounds that he was not even observ-
ant of the peculiar, subdued quality
In Dams voice. Otherwise, he would
have wondered at It. "Tm free to
confess don't KNOW" he said. "It's
booming right toward us, like most
