CHAPTER XXI.
The Royal Intervention.

Five bells In the forenoon watch on
the Britannia. The great ship in the
perfection of readiness so clean that
you could have eaten your dinner off
her decks with a clear conscience If
you wished; her 700 men in spick and
span uniforms. her officers gorgeous
III gold lace, royal blue and spotless
white; her marines in vivid scarlet;
her masts decked with flags from fly
ing-jib to spanker-boom cpd, her yards
manned with row after row Of sailors,
others mustered around the great guns
on the main deck, was ready for visit
from her august master.
Everybody on the ship was full of
excitement except the lonely prisoner
In the gunroom. A barge was seen
pulling from the shore and from a
flagstaff forward the royal ensign flut-
tered out in the fresh morning breeze

ing and saluting met him at the gang
way. AS the royal foot touched the
white deck the royal flag was broken
out at the masthead. the boatswain
piped, the band struck up God Save
the King" and the great guns of the
main deck thundered out the royal
salute
The admiral turned, faced forward,
waved his cooked hat and the whole
ship rang with enthusiastic cheering
The king nodded like the plain little
famer he was, without any particular
ceremony. shook hands with the ad-
miral, waved his arm graciously to the
officers and, attended by the admiral
stepped aft and disappeared later in
tho great cabin under the poop deck

down in the cabin, has everything

This false view OF life has lis iucep

Our MaCadamized Road FIaSCO,

The magnificent macadamized roads
Of Europe are the admiration of all
Americans who have had an oppor-
tunity Of making use Of them. Scien-
tifcally constructed and most diligent-
~ repaired and maintained, they pro-
vide today, as they have provided in
many cases for centuries, smooth,
hard and well-drained surface, which
never varies in lis excellence from
season TO season, or from year to year
Here in the United States the art of
macadamzed bodybuilding, at least ON
scale Of any magnitude, is Of com
paratively recent date. such roads a
sc have constructed have been built,
as a rule, under experienced engineers
and according 10 those principles
which have been so thoroughly tested
in Europe. Generally, our new roads,
on their completion, are of excellent
quality. The work is so well done that
there is no reason why, with proper
maintenance, they should not show
the same wearing qualities as similar
roads abroad.
As matter Of fact, in the majority
Of case, our roads, after single
easOn's wear, begin TO show serious
signs ofgoing TO pieces, and frequently,
after two or three seasons wear, have
lapsed into a condition that is little
better than that of common country
dirt road. II the top dressing has not
disappe Ted entirely, it will be found
in the shape OF deep layer OF dust
and fine stone at each side Of the road
way the stripped surface will be
worn more or less deeply into ruis, or
hammered into hollows, and not in
frequently The underlying courses Of
large broken stone and rock will be
clearly discernible.
Why do American macadam roads
20 TO pieces so quickly, while those in
Europe maintain their fine surfa, e.
indefinitely? The answer is to be
found in the fact that in Europe they
have careful system of road main
tainance, and in the United States we
have none, or practically none. Eu-
ropean roadbuilders or supervisors, or
whatever they may be called, clearly
understand that there is no engineer
ing work that depends more absolutely
for its integrity and permanence upon
careful attention and upkeep than
does macadamized roadway. They
understand, moreover, that there is no
work Of the kind in which the old
adage, ga stitch in time saves nine,n is
more true than in this and conse-
quently, their system Of road main
tainance involves a constant and care
ful inspection, and the immediate re-
pair of any spot in the road, however
small, that shows incipient signs Of
breaking down. Hence the work Of
keeping up the European roads is being
done all the time, in many places, and F.
by large army Of individual laborers. /
The solitary road repairer, with his /
wheelbsrrow, pick and shovel, aud /
little pile Of broken stone and top
blessing, is a familiar sight. 1t is his
duty TO inspect daily his own section.
