Il corner by itself, is the rude bust of
what probably is a representation of a
Saxon warrior carved rather cleveriy
out of a big block of wood. The face
is of Il sturdy fighter, the checks and
chin being concealed beneath thick
growth of curly beard. The nose.
which had been carved from Il scpar-
lte piece of wood and then affixed to
the countenance, is missing, and the
eyes from the action OF the storms of
centuries are partially obliterated. On
the head is carved a helmet with visor

of luXuriant curls naturally disposed

Gardiner Independent: We know of

Gardiner Independent: We know of
nothing, unless it is the schools, which
adds more to the value of a town or
city as place of residence than good
roads. The time has gone by When any
old track through the country will do.
The people in the cities and in the
country towns as well, have begun to
realize that good roads are an actual
necessity for the welfare and prosperity
of their community. The more pros
porous a town the better are its roads,
the better the roads the more prosper
Gus a town. This is sign Wnlch IN
these days never fails. The days of
mud for weeks in the spring of the year
are numbered. The farmer is no
longer content to be shut off from the
rest of the world for a month or more
every year on account of mud. He
wants good roads, he wants to
be able to drive to market or to
the center of population in his
county without dragging through mud
way to the hubs of his wagon. He
wants to be able to start out with a
good load and get to and from market
without getting stuck in the mud. This
is the farmers side of it. The city man
wants good roads not only about the
principal streets but he wants them in
the suburbs, so that he can enjoy a
drive for business or pleasure these
beautiful spring days. Give him good
roads and he will drive into the
country oftener, he will enjoy the
pure air, he will get better acquainted
with the beauties of the suburban
towns and the people in them. Then
there's the man who wants summer
home in the country or at the sea shore.
Give him good roads and he'll come to
your town a hundred times quicker
than he will to some other place which
has poor roads.

CHAPTER II.
AT sADLER'S WELLS.

Sadler's Wells, on this mild and
CHEEKY spring morning, was scene OF
fashion and OF folly. Hitler came the
elite of London, after the custom OF
the day, to seek remedy in the reputed
qualities OF the springs for the weari-
ness and lassitude resultant upon the
long season of polite designations
which society demanded of her vo-
taries Bewigged handles, their long
coats of colors well displayed as they
strutted about in the open, paid court
there, as they did within the city
gates, to the powdered and painted
beauties who sat in their coaches wait
ing for their servants to bring out TO
them the draft of which they craved
healing for crow's-feet and hollow
eyes. Here and there travelling mer-
chants called their wares, jugglers

spread their carpets, bear dancers gave
their little spectacles, and jockeys con-
ferred as to the merits OF horse OF
hound. Hawk-nosed Jews passed
among the vehicles, cursed or kicked
by the young gallants who stood about,
hat in hand, at the steps of their idols
carriages.
Back of Sadler's little court the coun-
try came creeping close up to the
town. There were fields not so far
away on these long highways. Wan
dering and rambling roads ran off to
the westward and to the north, lead.
ing toward the straight old Roman
road which once upon time ran down
to London town.
1t was on one of these less crowded
highways that there was this morning
enacted a curious little drama. The
sun was still young and not too strong
for comfort, and as it rose back of the
square of Sadler's it cast shadow
from hedge which ran angling
toward the southeast. Its rays, there
fore, did not disturb the slumbers OF
two young men who were lying be-
meath the shelter of the hedge. Strange
enough must have been the conclu-
sions of the sun could it have looked
over the barrier and peered into the
faces of these youths. Evidently they
were of good breeding and some sta
ton, albeit their garb was not of the
latest fashion. The gray hose and the
clumsy shoes plainly bespoke some
northern residence. The wig OF each
lacked the latest turn, perhaps the col
lar of the coat was not all 1t should
have been. There was but one coat
visible, for the other, rolled up as a
pillow, served to support the heads o.
both. The elder of the two was the one
who had sacrificed his covering. The
other was more restless in his atti-
tude, and though thus the warmer for
a cor. was more in need Of comfort
A white bandage covered his wrist
and the linen was stained red. Yet
the two slept on, we'll into the. morn
well into the rout of Sadler's Wells.
Evidently they were weary.
Far down the roadway there rose a
cloud of dust, which came steadily
nearer. following the only vehicle in
sight. probably the only one which had
passed that morning. AS this little
dust-cloud came slowly nearer 1t might
