Forrest the boy girl, the child that never grew up, the grittiest puff of rose-dust that was ever woman." "My breath is quite taken away," Graham said. "Do your people do such stunts frequently?" "First time she ever did that," Forrest replied. "That was Mountain Lad. She rode him straight down the spill-way tobogganed with him, twenty-two hundred and forty pounds of him."
During seasons of heavy rain the surplus discharge of river water will be very heavy, and a cataract will pour over the spill-way. But it will rush across a bed of rock, and will be unable to erode its channel. And it will be employed to generate electrical power which will open and shut the lock-gates and generally operate the Canal machinery.
It was all one to dance, as she well knew, beautifully; to dress with distinction and beauty; to swan-dive, all grace and courage, as few women dared; or, all fragility, to avalanche down the spill-way on the back of Mountain Lad and by the will and steel of her swim the huge beast across the tank. She was proud, a woman of their own race and type, to watch these two gray-eyed blond men together.

This has set hard, and is believed to be quite impervious to water at a much higher pressure than that to which it will be subjected. In the center of the river valley a mile and a half broad across which the dam has been flung, there very fortunately arose a low rocky hill. This is included in the dam, and across its summit has been constructed the escape or spill-way.
