Ann decided.
The Hacketts were going to be-
a very happy couple-everybo body
could see that. Mr.. Hackett be-
came something of his old self
and together, he and Mona car
ried flowers to the little mound
that marked the resting place of
a man they had both called
friend.
One Sunday, sitting on the
grave of Captain Drake, Arnold
Hackett put a question to his
fiance-"Mona, if you had made
a decision when you were twenty
two, whom would you have
chosen?"
For a time she hesitated. "I
would have chosen the Captain"
she told him frankly.
You loved him best. always

answered. Her hair. blew about
her face and lent her a youthful
appearance that belied her forty

It was during the month of
May that Captain Drake con-
tracted pneumonia and died. The
grief of Arnold Hackett was
most obvious. He lost in weight
and failed to greet his fellows
with his customary banter. Mona
Marley wore her grief differently.
A sadness had come into her
face that made her more inter
esting. The girls found her less
loquacious than formerly but
Mona Marley never allowed her
feelings to become known.

her girl friends. Mr.. Hackett
hasn't been to her house to Sun

In such agony of mind as he had
never yet known. It seemed as

down all that he loved on earth.
Just before his departure, two

But his demand to see his wife

and presently she was ushered
into the room set apart for these
interviews. Even then he could
not speak to her alone. Besides
the turnkey, an official was
present.
Joan, white and weary, looked

IS
NEARING LIMITS
Record Number Is Received
From Great Britain,

WASHINGTON. Sept. "a. - When
the Dillingham; immigration law was
passed it was hoped that it would
limit undesirable hordes from the
Mediterranean countries. In the two
years and three months Of its opera
ton, the law has shown that 1t does
far more than this. 1t has been a
powerful factor in encouraging the
coming Of the Nordic peoples. British
now, even Germans.
The first quarter Of the fiscal year
1924 shows the heaviest British i'm
migration in decades. Under the law,
20 per cent of the years quota may
enter in any one month. Great
Bitain's quota, by far the largest Of
any country, is exhausted for the first
quarter, which is to say that 1000
out of the 1900 allowable are already
here, leaving but 10000 to come during
the remaining nine-months.
All immigration is heavy. In the
first two months of the last fiscal
year, entries totaled $3.50. For the
same period Of this year, entries to-
tailed 119,501
Among the countries which have al
ready exhausted so per cent Of their
annual quota are Albania, Belgium,
Bulgaria, Finland, Fiume, Great
Britain and Ireland, Greece. Lithu-
ania, Netherlands, Portugal. Russia,
Spain, Switzerland. Palestine, Syria,
Turkey, Africa, Egypt, Atlantic
Islands, Australia and New Zealand.

MILES IN LENGTH
Twenty Million Gallons Daily
Is Capacity of New Feed
Pipe,

Keeping pace with the growth Of
the city and the demands of fire in
surance companies three gangs of
workmen are employed by the Indi-
annapolis Water Company installing a
twenty-four-inch feeder line from the
Riverside station through Eleventh
der Fall Creek and north to Thirtieth
st. Work will be completed by Nov
15. B. ]. T. Jeup, chief engineer,
stated.
A twenty-in6h line will branch from
the Thirteenth st. and Park Ave. joint
south to ST. Clair ST., The extension
is being built on the recommendation
of the national board Of fire under
writers, will be more than four miles
long, with a capacity of 0,000.00 gal
Ions daily and will cost approximately
$500, 900.
The task of extending the line un-
del Fall Creek alone will cost $4,000
and will require a difficult feat of en-
g1neering Six hundred feet of the
main must be laid under the creek
by damming half of the creek at a
time and excavating to a depth suf-
fcient to- insure protection from a
wash-out This work has been in
progress several days.
A similar twenty-four-inch main is
being installed from Massachusetts,
Ave to Pratt ST. to the Technical
High School grounds. down to AIichi-
gan St and east from ORIENTAL to Ru-
raj Sts This line will be connected
to the other to augment fire protec-
ton in the two sections growing most
rapidly.
Additional extensions aggregating
between 10000 900 and 100, 900 feet of
pipe line are being laid in various
Some of these are feeder lines ten
and six inches in diameter, but most
lines are less than ten inches, 1t was
said.
A program aggregating a cost Of
s., SOC, 900 worth of pipe construction
is laid out for this year and next by
the water company. Insurance rates
will not be affected, however, since
the water company is merely keeping
pace with requirements, it was said.
The last Of the ten bridges required
of the water company over the canal
