The Ideal Public Highway.

The question eS how to achieve good roads need not he-e De fully discussed. It is getting to be well admitted that some engineering skill is needed; that the ideal road is not that which lies in a straight line across the concession line or side line ill contempt of hills and Wal
 ter courses, but the natural line that avoids the heavy grades which so reduce a horses pulling powers. It is getting to be we'll known that grade of one in ten reduces horse's drawing powers to one-quarter of what it can draw on a level, and that with one ill fifty horse can pull but four -fifths of what it can move on the level. The three styles of telford, with its bottom row of wedged in large stones, it's inter- mediate layers of broken stone 11a inches in diameter and its top dressing of still smaller stone; the macadam and the gravel-are we'll understood. The importance of drainage, culverts and side drains are conceded. The service rendered by heavy rollers is recognized, and so too, is the advisability of those other reforms, the abolition of statute labor and substitution therefor of all the year round continuous mending, the re- placing of the pathmaster by the efficient engineer, the employment of proper tools and the other administrative re- forms connected with the subject.

tions ill the half roadway and to com. mence with lighter fall per foot, run ming, say, 0.02, 0.O3, U.04, O.O5. On narrower roadway. IS feet or less in width, one intermediate point alone is necessary, the fall being made O.. O4 and 0. 05 per foot from the center.
 The form of cross section is not al- ways optional-the longitudinal grade controls it very materially. The section should be so proportioned that water will not have a tendency to follow the axis of the road, but should be shed into the side gutters as rapidly as possible
 It will be seen from the above that establishing a proper section of road is not as simple matter as it might at first appear, and that the section bears a most important relation to the life of the road and its future condition.
 The water having been promptly re- moved from the surface of the road by means of suitable cross section, it be- comes necessary to provide for its flow along the sides. The shape and size of each side channel are controlled by the amount of water to be provided for, the distance it has to be carried before be- ing discharged into stream, the nature of the soil, etc. It is frequently found that the water must be carried long dis tances before being discharged. This in wolves the construction of wide and deep channels suitably paved or riprapped on all steep grades.
 When ill connection with this the soil is apt to retain water, it is advisable to place the bottom of the ditches below the bottom of the roadway and ill this way secure constant drainage, Care should be taken to provide outlets for the water from under the road to the ditches. These provisions are essential at the junction of two descending grades Shallow gut ters are advisable only in localities where the water can be disposed of at frequent intervals and where accumula- tion of large volumes is not possible - Good Roads

Between the north fork of the Platte river and the Union Pacific railroad saw 8 faint smoke curling up above 8 dugout, and while was yet half a mile away man came out of the cave and backed up to post set in the ground and began rub ping his spine against it. He continued to rub and twist his body about until halted before him. Then he ceased opera lions to observe:

 "Where's the family?" asked as peer ed into the dugout.
 "Gone up to Cottonwood Springs to be gone month."
 "And what s the matter with you?'

 ''See yere, chile," said the old man after bit, with tears in his own eyes, 'yo' jiss keep quiet till we find out all about it. I'll hev dis shoe fixed in bout o minutes, an den I'll start fur Harrisonburg. When git dar, l kin 6nd out if Mars Kenton was killed.

 But what if you should. discover that-that' '--
 Dat Mars Kenton was railly killed? Nobody can't diskiber what hain't so, kin dey? I'ze gwine ober dar jest to prove dat he wasn't dun killed"
 ''Uncle Ben.' said Marian as she placed a hand on either shoulder and looked into his eyes, ''if you can bring me news that MT. Kenton is alive, I'll make you a free man before the week is out!''
 "Hu! What I want to leave yo' an le missus an becum free nigger fur? Reckon 1 wants to go to de porehouse or jail? Hain't alIus bin like one O de family? Could de family git along widout Uncle Ben: Whar would yo' be right now but fur me?''
 That's true, Uncle Ben. You were born on the place, and you know how much we all think of you. It would break our hearts to have you go, slave though you are and always have been ill the eyes of the law But you shall be rewarded, Uncle Ben. Only bring me good news, and ycur reward shall be great!''
 Hush up dat noise, honey!!" he enid ed as he made ready to depart. If yo'll let de ole man lib right on in de family. dat'l be reward huff I'll be back by foah o'clock tomorrer, and I'll bring yo' de news dat Mars Kenton am all right.
 Marian watched him as he strode brayely down the frozen highway and vanished into the dusk of evening, and as she turned away fresh tears came to her eyes, and she murmured:
 Brave and unselfsh old slave! God grant that he may bring message to relieve my anxieties!'

Where the Farmer Loses.

Nearly every where on the American con nent good roads are absent, and the farrA pays dearly for their nonexist- ence Be loses in the unnecessary time he speA in reaching the market, time which he might put in with profit on his farm. in being often unable to reach the market at the critical time when prices are best, in wear and tear of horses and wagons, in the comparatively small loads which he can haul and in the social de- privation which is result of the lack of easy travel The mere comparison of our country districts with those of European countries is enough to convince one of the need for good roads and the extent to which they pay for their first cost and their maintenance. -Exohange.

 "Mebbe you doan' see me for two months" said Carl Dunder as he entered the police station the other day where the fat and juicy-sergeant presides seven days in a week.
 1T supposed you had left America,' re- piled the sergeant >as he looked up from his blotter.
 "No, I Idoan' go away. Sometimes vhas discouraged, because nobody vhas two times alike, but she vhas all K. o. now. Sergeant, I like to say to you dot Carl Dun- der haf caught on, ash der boys say, and got some cinches."

 "Mr Dunder, what has happened?" ask ed the sergeant after long and serious look at the smiling and elated man before him.

 ''Vhell, she vhas no secrets. Last week a man comes to see me. He vhas from New York. He buys some beer und looks all aroundt, und by und by he whispers in my ear dot he had come in time."

CHAPTER XXI.

We have made no note of time. \ year of war seems to fly more swiftly by than a month of peace. The minutes of war are made up of its dead, its hours of burials, its days of battles, it's weeks of campaigns which move a nation, its months of black figures relating the number of widows and orphans and the tens of millions of dollars expended, its years of despair and desolation crying to heaven.
 Winter had fallen upon mountain and valley; upon tho blackeued ruins of bnce happy homes, upon blood spot and buri- al ground. While things had gone very quietly at Rest Haven they had not gone we'll. Now and then a detachment of Federals or Confederates had galloped past on the stony road, but they had left the family in peace. Letters no longer came and went. The country was in the hands of the Federals, and many of the inhabitants had fled away. The Percys would have gone before win ter set in but for the state of the moth CTS health. They were waiting and hoping that she would so mend that she could be moved, but she did not.
 One autumn night party of raiders had taken away the horses, and after that Uncle Ben had to make his trips on foot as he secured the country in search of provisions to keep the family going. In spite of the high prices and general scarcity of all necessaries he managed SO we'll that nearly every want was supplied in some way. On two oc- casions beyond the one mentioned Fed eral accommodating parties left supplies at the house, and once Captain Wyie sent store of articles which could have only been gathered at considerable cost and trouble. Both sides pitied the unhappy and defenseiess situation of the family, which was only one of hun dreds. The sufferings of the southern women during the war have found no historian, and the heroism displayed by them in the face of peril and diversity has not gone down to their children on printed pages. Who could write it? Where would be begin or endf In no epoch of history were mothers, wives and daughters called upon for greater sacrifices, nor were sacrifices ever so cheerfully made. Brave, patriotic, en- during, and yet no state or community has reared marble shaft on which is engraved the words of praise and com mendation so justly their due.
 When Marian became convinced that if Mrs. Baxter had any plan afoot it was to play the spy and forward the cause of Captain Wyle, she did not let the matfer worry her. 4 sort of truce was declared between the woman and Uncle Ben. and yet he did not cease to
