Roads i'm Fad Condition.


While the roads near the cities have once
been good they have been absolutely neg
Iected so long that they are almost useless as
a means of communication. In the rural
districts the roads are generally nothing but
bride paths and are impossible for all
wheeled vehicles except the ponderous OK
cart OF the country, and in many cases even
for them. Up TO May last no work had been
done on the roads for many years, even in
the vicinity OF the largest towns. General
Wilson thinks that ii will be some time be-
fore any part of the municipal revenues
will be available for this work
a road is greatly needed to connect
Sancti Spiritus with Piacetas. A wagon
road would be very expensive, while rail-
road could be built through a distance of
forty miles al a cost of about $4,000 per
mile Another road is needed from Santa
Clara TO Camajuany, especially the five
miles nearer Santa Clara, over the noun
tain side, upon which work was begun by
the Spanish administration. A third road
is needed from Vueltas to Vega de la Pal
ma, q distance of about two miles. This
road is of prime Importance, connecting
Vueltas. which grows much tobacco and
corn, all or which has to be carried by cart
over this very bad trail. A fourth road

To Mary's surprise the table was only
laid for two persons. 1t was essentially

spread with nice clean cloth and SER
viettes: its dominant note was cruet

Alan Stacey.

whether she ought to be honest and say
that dish of scrambled eggs was the
nearest approach to an omelet that she
had ever tasted in her life.

makes both to perfection. he went on
''Some people like TO make salad at

young ladies to dress the salad, and
they do it with a diffidencs which re-
suits in loathliness. Tell Maltide that

Mary ate her portion and allowed
herself to be persuaded into taking a
little more hut she refused wine and
persisted in taking only water. Il must

Alan Stacey tried hard to overrule
her, because, as he said, they ought to
have mild celebration of their first

er. 1t is true that he liked and respect

Well, in due course the story was
finished, and when the last words had
been taken down he asked her eagerly
what she thought of it.
''Give me your candid opinion, he
said.

And then they were married, going
quietly to church one morning, attend
I'd only by a great friend of Alan
Stacey's and the girl through whom
indirectly the marriage had come about
the girl who had first given Mary the
idea of taking up typewriting as a seri-
ous profession. Then they went back to
the Sycamores and had a dainty little
lunch, at which they made miniature
speeches. drank each others health
and Were as merry as if the party had
been one and forty instead of but four
persons. Then at the last moment, Just
before they rose from the table, the best
man thought of something.
''My dear chap. said he to the bride
groom, there is one thing about
which you have given me no instruc-
tions. What about the announcements
to the papers,
Need it he announced ?" asked Mary.

home again. Here, give me bit of pa
per, Stacey Tell me how you wish the
announcement to be worded, and will
see that it is in all tomorrow papers. "
Alan Stacey got up and fetched Il
sheet Of paper and Il pen and ink from
the writing table III the window
''Give it to ne, said Mary, ''This
is my idea what to say She took the
sheet of paper from his hand and wrote
clearly and firmly: ''OT the 10th at
the parish church, Fullialn, by the Rev.

only son of the late Colonel Holm
Stacey, Bengal staff corps, TO Mary
Conway, daughter of the late Rev.

She handed the paper across the table
to her husband, and he, knowing her
well, realized instantly that her horror
and detestation of her first marriage
had remained with her TO such an ex-
tent that she would not, even in the
formal announcement. identify herself
with the man who had commanded the
Ariklalna, the man who had bought
her with Il price, the man who had
given her the only blow that she had
ever received in the whole course of her
