THE HAYS CREEK CESSPOOL SCHEME, The City Council, which at its last meeting passed the engineer's report on the Hays Creek trunk sewer scheme, would be well advised to re-open the question, or else to honestly label the scheme as the ‘Hays Creek cesspool scheme,”’ and let the people vote on the matter. With no wish to hurt the feelings of the City Engineer, the News would point out that the report of the Engineer on the question is not a guaran- tee that Hays Creek will not become a cesspool when the trunk sewer starts pouring its effluent-into that practically land-locked basin. The engincer’s report is only an evidence that the City Engineer does not think Hays Cree will become a cesspool. With no wish to hurt the feelings of the City Engineer, the News| reminds the Council, that the Engineer gave it as his opinion that the retaining walls in the city could be built for $8,000—a much more concrete | matter than the question of the effect of a sewerage discharges into Hays Creek. The News could recite a whole list of instances where the City Engineer's reports of what he anticipated would happen, differed very materially from what actually did happen. Has the Council any guarantee that the City Engineer’s opinion of what will happen to the sewage after its discharge into Hays Creek, is any sounder than his opinion on the cost of the retaining walls? The proposal to discharge the sewage of half the town into Hays Creek, at a point 1,600 feet from low water mark, into a bay that runs dry for six hours every day, and the entrance to which is almost entirely blocked by the railway grade, sounds more like a scheme to construct a cesspool, than a scheme of sanitation. The City Council will show their wisdom and their sense of the gravity of the situation by having the question re-opened, before it is too late PASSING COMMENTS, Having in view his penchant for challenging members of the press to pugilistic encounters with him, it looks like forethought on the part of Alderman Clayton to move that steps be taken to have the cemetery put in order. It looks like foresight also on the part of Alderman Hilditch to move his residence from Ambrose Avenue, before work is started on the trunk sewer. It would not be pleasant living on the bank of an open cesspool.

Same sort of graceful figure, only a trifle smaller.” “Such coincidences often happen in the human family. For instance, you are not wholly unlike Enid.” “Holy gee! 'down to stand flattery.” “Likeness is often a matter of en- vironment. Characteristics, menner- isms, the subtle distinctions of class and social rank, soak in through the skin quite as sensibly as they are con- ferred by heredity.

He had the tact now to conceal his astonishment at the manprer of his friend's speec “You fling heredity to the winds, then?” he asked. Brand rose to his feet, as was his way when deeply moved “Thank God, yes!” he cried. A faint hoot came to them through the chortling of the wind. “One of our visitors,” shouted Brand, “and here we are gossiping as though snugly seated in arm-chajrs at the fireside.” He hurried to the gallery, putting on an oil-skin coat. “We must win through, and I guess I'll play ball with my father-in-law,” quoth Pyne to himself as he follewed, This time it was the Falcon alone, and she signaled with a lamp that it was deemed erations until the following afternoon, The tide at Cawn would not suit. She went off, and the two men re turned to the grateful shelter of the service-room. Brand farbade further talk. Pyne must rest now and relieve him at three o'clock. The youngster needed no feather-bed: he was asleep in amaz ingly quick time. There is a supper- less hunger which keeps people awake at night with a full larder in the house, The crude article differs from the cul- tured one so greatly that the man who hungers of necessity cannot sleep too much, Thus far, the inhabitants of lighthouse had been given quite enough nutriment to maintain life. There was no reason why any, even the most delicate, should be in real danger during the next forty-eight hours. But scientific the anima! instincts of mankind clash at times; in that lay the danger whose sullen shadow was deepening the linea in the corners of Brand's eyes. Every hour, the officer on duty and some men of the watch visited him ta report of the less drunken were pitifully sober now: the others were maudiin. Beyond the few words exchanged on this and kindred topics, he was left alone with his thoughts throughout the silent watch. Pyne slept heavily. Glancing at times at the youngster’s stalwart figure and firm, handsome face, Brand found him. self reviewing the buried years. He thought of the days when he, too, looked forth on the world with the stern enthusiasm of triumphant youth, Long-forgotten ghosts were resur rected, shattered ideals built up again, e wondered, if the decades rolled back, would he decide, a second time, to abandon the fine career which lay | at his feet and withdraw his grief and his talents to the seclusion of lonely rocks and silent headlands!

Some! mutineers | | Mrs. Vansittart, even at this moment, | Was staring into the black void with | questioning eyes. | He resolutely threw back his head jas if he would hurl into outer dark- ness the gibbering phantom which whispered these words of foreboding. Although the lamp needed no atten tion just then, he climbed to the trim- ming stage merely to find rellef in mechanical action. He carefully ex- amined the adjustment, and, to judge how the weather was shaping, went out into the gallery to look at the dis tant lights. The three quick flashes of the Seven Stones Lightship were very clear. That was a good sign. The wind came from that quarter and, blustering though it was, driving gigantic waves before it into the loud embrace of the reef, it maintained good promise of the last few hours. | Seeking the comparative shelter of ithe east side, he gazed steadily at the Liazrd.

If he and those committed | to his charge were to be saved, either the sea must be stilled or another miracle of the loaves and fishes en- acted. There, alone on the gallery, amidst the din of howling wind and ceaseless plaint of the waves, he seemed to be apart, cut off from the sufferings with in. He lifted his eyes to the sombre arch of the heavens. Men said the age of miracles had passed. Pray God {t might not be so! When Brand went out, the sudden rush of cold air through the little door leading to the ba'cony aroused Pyne That young gentleman was rudely |awakened from a_ seriously vivid |dream. He fancied that Constance and he were clinging to the tail of an enormous kite, which had been mwa‘e to hover over the rock by a green timp | peated in an absurdly smal! boat.

He was about to feel in a pocket for his pipe—he experienced the worat pangs of hunger after waking in such fashion—when he saw a woman's head and shoulders emerging out ol the stairway. At first he thought it was Constance, and he wondered why she had muf fled her face in the deep collar of a cloak, but the visitor paused irreso- lutely when her waist was on a level with the floor. She uttered a little gasp of surprise, “You, Charlie?” she cried. i | thought you slept in the kitchen?” “No, Mrs. Vansittart,” he said. “I am assistant-keeper and I am here | most all the time with Mr. Brand, But what in the name of goodness-——" “I was restless,” explained the lady hurriedly. “If I remained another min. | ute among those women | should have | screamed aloud.

But they exist, and they are worth looking for.” He waited, lest perchance the other man should take the cue thus offered, but Brand, for the twentieth time, was poring over the records of the days which followed the hurricane report- ed by a former keeper. The Amert- can pursed his dips. “He has had a bad time with a woman once in his life,” he mused. “It must have been Constance’s moth- er, and that is why he doesn’t believe in heredity. Well, I guess he’s right.” Had he seen Mrs. Vansittart cower- ing on her knees outside her bedroom door, he might have found cause for more disturbing reflections. She was crying softly, with her face hidden in her hands. “Oh, I dare not, I dare not!” she moaned. “I am the most miserable woman in the world. It would have been better if I had gone down with the vessel. The Lord saved me only to punish me My heart will break. What shall I do? Where shall I hide?” And her sobbing only ceased when the noise of ascending footsteps drove her into the company of sorrowful women who would nevertheless have forgotten some of their own woes did they but realize her greater anguish. CHAPTER XIV. THE WAY THEY HAVE IN THE NAVY “Some people are never satisfied,” said Pyne, whilst he helped the cooks by smashing a ham bone with a ham- mer. The bone had been picked clean of meat and marrow on the first day after the wreck, but it occurred to Enid that if it were broken up and boiled she might procure some sort of nourishment for the two children, who were fast running down in con- dition. “What is the matter now?” inquired Constance, whose attentive eyes were hovering between the cooking stove and a distilling kettle. All the flour and biscuits, with the exception of two tins reserved for ex- eremities, had been used.
