she was at liberty to do one of two things,
viz, take a furnished house In town and
engage Miss Blocker, or somebody, to %

abroad.
Choosing the latter alternative, Helen had
been considered fortunate in securing for
her companion the lady In question, who
was certified by her believers to be rarely

had given readings in New York drawing
rooms and elsewhere about the country,

reflected bitterly that Foster, trimming his
sails to the wind of Fortune, was now the
devotee of the new Mrs. Carstairs' whims,
and unless especially ordered so to do,
would be likely to make no effort for the
rebellious stepdaughter's advancement.
Affecting Indifference to the detail in

already filled, when Miss Blocker spark

GOOD COUNTRY ROADS.

Long since good country roads have
ceased to be luxury, and have now
become a necessity. Anne Arundel
county caters to more or less thickly
settled population, which is fast be-
coming more thickly settled and il
needs perfect county roads.
They are so essential that no com
munity will long permit that fact be-
ing ignored If they are really interest
ed in the general community welfare.
With good roads the farmer is in POI
sition 10 bring his farm products to
the market long in advance of their
presentation over bad county roads.
II the farmer is blessed with good
county roads all that he has to do
when it is very muddy and rainy and
at time when he cannot work his
field, is to hitch up his wagon and
trot OFF to town with his farm pro-
ducts.
If, however, he has no perfect roads
and must perforce traverse long,
muddy lanes, then his farm produce
is brought to market at great personal
expense and labor and hardly justifies
either the time or labor expended in
its behalf. In consequence of these
facts, known TO all, it is in order
that every one should bestir them
selves to tho securing of good county
roads. The city merchant as well as
the country farmer is interested in
the results quite as well as the citizen
in general, and it is in that order that
all should apply themselves at fur
therance of the county road PROPOSE
ton. Good county roads should be
the war cry of one and all, and there
should be no hesitancy in the matter
Of securing concerted action in that
direction. 1t is a case of mutual ben
eft.
