Mind Puir Weds After 11 Years.
Anderson, Aug. 18. (AP) ? Through
the darkness of sightless eyes theiv
appealed a ray of sunshine when a
young couple* both blind since child
hood,' agreed to work out their more
or less uncertain destinies as man and
wife. Although they have never look
ed upon each other's fuces, there a?
pears to exist an understanding more
infinite and a love more profound by
virtue of the gri'at handicap und"r
which both must live and labor.
A wedding ceremony without pre
cedent here was p rformed by Judge
of Probate Herman K. Bailey this
morning when .John Atkins, 23, of
Potest City, N. (\, and Miss Mary
White, 2"i, of Savannah, Ga., both
I lint^'vere married, following a cou
ship of 11 years. It had it beginning
when the two entered the school for
t ie blind at Cedar Spring, in Spa ?
tanburg county.
They left immediately for Colum
bia after the ceremony. Mr. Atkin:
is a clothing salesman, while Mrs.
At km:- will have wo.',; m ti e s-'.ntc <'.<?

began to go very well.
CHAPTER XVI
The Opening
There was no doubt, from the very
beginning, of the success of the for
mal opening of the works. The day
was perfect and the guests arrived by
special train or motor to accord with
a progrnm laid out by Cox's secretary,
who was a wizard for schedules.
Caleb had secured seats f?.r Betty
Clinton and Mr. and Mrs. Carqulnez.
with whom she arrived, at the side
of the table opposite the speakers. Me

Inspection tour and lie saw them In
their places before he went on to his

A' table had been set for the fore
men and their wives. Marin and ?'??

they sat with this group, subordinate
yet a part of the celebration. Beside
Padllla was Evans, the water -diviner
now In general charge of the divert
ing ponds that extended above the
lengths of the niter gullerle*.
While Caleb had greeted these hum
bler but necessary workers, one of the
foremen rose as Betty, with the artist
and his wife, was chatting with I'vans
to whom she had been Introduced nf
her own request.
"I had to fire that chn|>. .Inluuwn.

In a low tone. 'lie showed up drunk
and he had a flask of some rotguf In
his pocket, lie whs banning around
this morning and 1 warned him oft.

"Quite right. Hardy."
It was curious, Caleb thought that
Baxter, If It was Ba . should have
come In at the end of the project he
had tried to ruin as an Involuntary
witness to Caleb's triumph, 'lie had
little sympathy left for Baxter, no re
gret at the cod of ho one-sided a
friendship. 1 he way of the transgres
sor had to be hard and Baxter had
strayed toe far and too often beyond
the pale not to deserve punishment.
1*he thought of him did not accord
with the spirit of the day and he dls
? missed It with the fact of his dis
charge.
The guests consisted of the heads
of works, visiting engineers, some of
whom had come a long way In pro
fessional Interest, a selected list of
stockholders, civ he representatives
from Oakvllle ? the all-Important
press. Including Vedder, and such
wives and relatives of the fairer sex
is considered the event worth their

?peakers. When It came to Caleb's

tccredltlng Cox and the company with
nuch of the meed of praise, paying
nore easily a glowing tribute to
Ilnckley, who was to follow him.
leatly transferring his own burden of
llffldence to the engineer. As he
?owed to the reiiewt d plaudits that
ame with the cb-sc of his little
peech he looked across to where Bet
v Clinton sat at the extreme end of
he opposite benches. Her hands add
d to the tribute, her face was aglow

He saw her eyes widen suddenly,

nxlously.

Caleb slid out of hjs seat and drew
lie superintendent to one side. This
?ns startling news. Caleb had pre
nred all the specifications for the
unnels. The responsibility for their
fllclency was all his. If 'the weight

Some one had onened the Watergate

showed the gray leap of the ten-foot
cascade foaming Into the conduit, the
push of half-a-inlle of solid water

The floor was slightly ln? lined to
facilitate the flow. With the gate
fully open the flood would sweep down
the conduit with velocity and power
sufficient to tear away all obstruc
tions. Mis only hope lay In reaching
the ladders. Rohlnd hfm. four hun
dred yards back, was ihe forehay.
Against the lucrea* ,'m; tide Caleb
made his rush, desperate, feeling It
useless but determined to baUlo for
his chance. The water boiled to his
knees, sucking at him. clutching at
