Pumper No. 5 discharged into
the Canal 2 hose lines equipped
with 11s-inch nozzles. The
nozzle pressures, as recorded by
the Indiana Inspection Bureau,
were So and "a pounds. The
rate of delivery was 584 gallons
per minute. The nozzle pres
sure was later increased to 70
pounds, with a total discharge
of 626 gallons per minute. 1t
was demonstrated that by in
d creasing the pumping pressure,
a. least 2 bumpers could have
been eliminated. 1t was also
demonstrated that fire fighting
streams could be furnished
through hose lines exceeding
5000 feet in length.

The test was made by using 2 lines of hose,
each $500 feet long, and 5 bumpers furnished
by the City Fire Department and the Stutz
Fire Engine Company. Pumper No, l took
its water supply from the Canal at Wabash

The plat to the right shows
the portion of the industrial, bust
ness and residence district of In
dianapolis in which effective fire
fighting streams could be fur
nished from the Canal, should the
necessity arise for a water supply
in addition to that available from
the fire hydrants. In other words,
effective fire fighting streams
could be furnished from the Canal
for fire in Tomlinson Hall, or in
any large business block between
Delaware street and the Canal.

which demonstrated the value of
the Canal for furnishing fire

over 5000 feet on either side of the
Canal, extending from Georgia

Sam jumped up and switched on the
light. He went to the door and took
the note from J. B. Midgeley, who, his
mission accomplished, retired in an
orderly manner down the passage.
Sam looked at the letter with thrill.

Sam could not disguise It from him

looked at 1t was that, for first love

perhaps a shade warmer. And, with

However, these were small matters.
No doubt she had been in q hurry and

point was that he was going to see her.

Samuel Marlowe wanted more than
anything else at the moment. That,
he felt, was what the doctor ordered.
He scrubbed the burnt cork on his
face with all possible speed and
changed his clothes and made his way
to the upper deck. It was like Billie,
he felt, to have chosen this spot for
their meeting. 1t would be deserted

ence sympathized with him. They felt
like that, too.
In all human plans there is ever
some slight hitch, some little miscal-
culation which just makes all the DIFF
ference. A moments thought should
have told Eustace Hignett that half
smoked cigar was one Of the essen
tial properties to any imitation Of the
eminent Mr.. Tinney: but he had COM
pletely overlooked the fact The cigar
came as an absolute surprise to HIM,
and 1t i'd not have affected him
more powerfully II II had been voice
from the tomb. He stared at II pal
Idly, like Macbeth at the ghost Of
Banquo. 1t was strong, lively young
cigar. and Its curling smoke played
lightly about his nostrils. His jaw
fell. His eyes protruded. He looked
for long moment like one of those
deep-sea fishes concerning which the
recent lecturer had spoken so search
ingly. Then with the cry Of stricken
animal, he bounded from his seat and
fed for the deck.
There was rustic of millinery at
Billie's side as Jane Hubbard rose
and followed him. Jane was deeply
stirred. Even as he sat, looking 80
pale and piteous, at the plano. her
big heart had gone out to him. and
now, In his moment of anguish, he
seemed to bring to the surface every
thing that was best and most compass
sionate In her nature. Thrusting
aside steward who happened to be
between her and the door, she raced
in pursuit.
Sam Marlowe had watched his
cousins dash for the open with
CONSERVATION SO complete that his
senses seemed to have left him. A
general, deserted by his men on some
stricken field, might have felt some
thing akin to his emotion. OF all the
learned professions, the imitation Of
Mr.. Frank Tinney Is the one which

the leader of the orchestra, is essen

gaping blankly. Then the open door
of the saloon seemed to beckon an
Invitation. He made for 1t, reached II,
passed through 1t. That concluded his
efforts in aid of the Seamen's Orphans
and Widows.
The spell which had lain on the au-
dience broke. This imitation seemed
to them to possess in an extraordi-
nary measure the one quality which
renders amateur limitations tolerable,
that of brevity. They had seen many
amateur limitations, but never one as
short as this. The saloon echoed with
their applause.
1t brought no balm to Samuel Mar
lowe. He did not hear It. He had
fled for refuge to his stateroom and
was lying In the lower berth, chewing
