for The Term of His Natural Life
BY MARCUS CLARKE


Cheshire, as Frere and Bates, In obe-
dience to orders, began to pull the Jolly
boat toward the shore; and in this fash
ion was the dismal little party conveyed
to the mainland.
1t was night when they reached IT,
but the clear sky began to thrill with
a late moon as yet unarisen, and the
waves, breaking gently upon the beach,
glimmered with a radiance born Of their
own motion. Frere and Bates jumping
ashore, helped out Mrs. Vickers, Syl-
via and the wounded Grimes. This be-
ing done under the muzzles of the mus
kets, Rex commanded that Bates and
Frere should push the jolly boat as far
as they could from the shore, and Riley
catching her by boat hook as she came
toward them, she was taken in tow.
Now, boys" says Cheshire, with a
savage delight, three cheers for old
England and libertyw'
Upon which a great shout went up,
echoed by the grim hills which had wit
messed so many miseries.

COST OF GOOD ROADS.
Government Gives Results of Tests i'm
Road Building.

According to the year book of the
department of agriculture, the good
roads bureau of the government has
built 90 sections of experimental
road, aggregating SO miles. since It
was established. These samples of
good road have been built in %
states. During the year 1906 81 Sec
tions aggregating nine miles. have
been built.
The maximum cost of building good
macadam road is 9S cents per square
yard, but the average cost on all Sec
tons constructed has been but 55
cents per square yard. The average
cost of what is call sand-clay roads,
is but 9la cents a square yard. One
section of burnt clay road cost 20
cents per square yard.
The government now has four
fully equipped road-making outfits in
the field, including the one which
recently built the section of experi-
mental road on Wild Horse creek,
near Pendleton. The force of enSi-
neers and roadmaking outfits will be
largely increased under the law passed

Arguments in Tobacco Duty Cases.

Washington, Dec. 3.-In the su-
preme court of the United States to-
day arguments in the case of the gov
ernment against Falk & Bro. of New
York, were resumed.
The question the court has to de-
termine is whether imported tobacco
is dutiable on the basis of its weight
when it enters, or when 1t is with
drawn from warehouses. The decision
of the circuit court of appeals was
that the duty should he paid on the
weight at withdrawal and it is esti-
mated that under this ruling the treas
ury would suffer a loss of a million
dollars year on tobacco. to say
nothing of the loss on other articles
to which the principle would apply if
held applicable to tobacco.
There are now on file in the offices
OF the board Of general appraisers at
New York $1,000 protests against the
collection Of duty upon entry. and as
they are accumulating at the rate of
several thousands a month the case is
considered of great importance
