The dimness Of the big drawing

glow of the light through the perfo-
rations Of the samovar. Evelyn Her

GOOD ROADS ARE VALUABLE.
German Farmer Gives His Views on
Question That Interests Every
Agrlculturlst.
CBy HOWARD Fl. GRossn

CBy HOWARD H. GRoss1
A sturdy clear-headed German, in
speaking of good roads, said:
MY farm is ten miles from She,
boygan; If it was only FIVE miles It
would be worth $1,000 more an acre
If l had good hard road all the way
l could go to Sheboygan whenever I
wanted to and haul twice as much. So
a good road would be just as good for
me as II lived five miles out with a
bad road. So that's why l go in for
good road. Sure 1t will cost money
but SO does everything else worth
having"
Bad roads and the extra cost of do
ing business over them would bank.

We have the worst roads on earth
and yet we are better able to have.
good ones than any other people
When we wake up and take hold of
this question at the right end, we VIII
get results. We need both state and
national aid and to build permanent
roads by bond issues and let the next
generation help pay the bill If this
is done e can have good roads with
very little increase in taxation.

They had all loved Christine, and she

chosen a career rather than marriage.
And now Evelyn and Bruce were en-.

the girl who was coming back When
She had gone away she had been radI-
ant with hope and beauty. She had
been courted by a dozen admirers.
And she was coming back failure:
coming back to find her lover ready to
marry another woman.
His heart ached for her as Il had
never ached for himself His own
love had been hidden that she might
not be hurt by seeing 1t. but through all
the years there had been for him no
other woman.
And even as he thought OF her she
came, parting the curtains softly and
standing there In the dimness before
any of them saw her.
She laughed a little as she came
toward them, and they jumped to
their feet in startled amazement.
You didn't expect me so soon?" she
asked. and kissed Evelyn and gave
her hands to Bruce and to Philip. She
had lost some of her beauty. She was
paler and thinner. and the light was
gone from her eyes. She gave little
tired sigh as she dropped into the
chair that Philip had placed in front
of the fire for her.
How good 1t seems to be with you
