MILLIONS ENOUGH FOR WATER. The vast scheme for improving the water supply to which Mayos McClellan is committed calls for a Only under exceptional conditions of economy and with the cost of the Catskill system estimated at a minimum of $161,000,000 can the cost be kept within $200,000,000. By an interesting coincidence $250,000,000 would build six $40,- 000,000 subways and leave $10,000,000 over for equipment. It would provide enough routes north and south and crosstown to relieve transit congestion for years, True, water bonds are not subject to debt-limit restrictions. But five years’ interest on the quarter of a billion to be ex- fended would pay for one subway outright. Where the heart is in the highlands of the Catskill watershed it is Not so intimately concerned with underground things. But the contem- plated expenditure in water schemes, which may well wait on the econom- ical use of the present supply, gives point to the old saw about the wil! and the way. There is money enough for subways. Perhaps the defeat of the Elsberg bill will dissipate alarmist fears on that ground. TILLINGHAST’S REAL OFFENSE.

To Lenox there was something in the sudden turn of affairs that needed ex- plaining. Ho leaped from his cab and made his way toward the carriage the girl was in. He was barred by a cab that was stalled between two heavier vehicles. In it were a genteman and lady. Stooping to glance under the cab he saw the man he had seen in the res- taurant on the ground in the act of handing the girl, who seemed to be Ump and lfeless, from her carriage to some outstretched arms from the car- riage with the green light. Lenox could not get through, and he He drew his revolver from his pocket and fired. ‘The man fell back, letting the girl tall to the street, Maddened by the obstacles in his way, Lenox leaped Into the cab, and without answering the curses of the man or the denouncement of the woman, he passed over it to the girl, He found himself in a sort of pocket between the jammed vehicles, a space large enough for the girl to lle on the ground untouched by wheels, There was no one else there. Lenox stooped and picked up the girl. To his horror he saw that her cheek was bleed- He found the door of her carriage open and put her Insde, His next thought was to open the door of the carriage with the green Ight, but that carriuge was lost in the crush. By this time the jam was under the control of the police, and Lenox jumped into the carrlage with the girl end slammed the door, “Follow that carriage! Lenox hesitated a moment.
