1T appears. as the result Of careful
Investigation, that 1t costs in the
United States just about three times
rs much to market our farm crops as
it does in European countries, where
good roads have been built" says Otto
DOrrer, chairman of the l.. y. w. high
way committee. Farmers there are
able to make their loads three times as
great as ours, owing TO better roads.
But we are not obliged to so to
Europe for Illustrations as to good
roads, for we have fortunately a few
localities In our own country which
furnish such examples. Mecklenburg
county, n. c., not long ago began the
construction of a system Of maCadam
roads. 1t was customary there to load
up two bales Of cotton on a wagon to
lie hauled by mule team. The mules
could draw this load very we'll during
roads were soft, the load was too much
for even pair Of tough mules. After
the county had begun to build roads
this load was doubled several times,
and it was found that the same two
mules were able to haul as much as II
bales, or tons, in place Of their for
.mer load, which amoMted to only a
single ton. And, more, the improved
roads made it possible to haul this
load in wet and dry weather alike, for,
being properly built of stone, they
were fit for use Immediately after q
heavy rain"

Reginald Mason raised his head
sharply ana throw all the force of his
lungs into n shout which echoed in the
hills. There was n pause, and his heart
began to fail him again, FOR fear that
he should get no reply.
Then above him on his left hand he
heard 4 mans voice calling:
Hello! Hello"
He made out tho direction whence
the voice proceeded, Ii point almost i'm

that this chance of meeting a fellow
human being might escape him, he
leapcd across the little stream and be-
gan a vigorous attempt to ascend the
hill.
This was comparatively easy, for in
stead of the stones and cragS Of the
last mountain he had climbed his feet
reached down through the snow to a
spongy surface of dry heather, slippery
in places, hut less trcachcrous than the
rolling stones. He shouted once more
on his way up. but got no reply,
Resolved not to let this opportunity
Of human companionship escape him,
Mason then went on quietly and as
quickly as he could, without uttering
any further sound. From the tones of
the voice he hcard-tonCs of acute suf,
