The nearness of the sweet face,

CHAPTER TX.
The Trvaf


1t still lacked nearly an hour of
the appointed time when Rowland
came to the secluded spot in the
trail where he was to meet Me-
leese. Concealed in the deep shod-
ows of the bushes he seated him.

and loaded his pipe, taking care to
light it with the flare of the match
hidden in the hollow of his hands.
For the first time since his terri
BILE experience in the coyote he
found himself free to think, and
more than ever he began to see the
necessity of GOODNESS and of judg-
ment in what he was about to do.
Gradually, too, he fought himself
back into his old faith in Meleese.
His blood was tingling at fever
heat in his desire for vengeance,
for the punishment Of the human
fiends who had attempted to blow
him to atoms, and yet at the same
time there was no bitterness in
him toward the girl. He was sure
that she was an unwilling factor in
the plot, and that she was doing all
in her power to save him. At the
same time he began to realize that
he should no longer be Influenced
by her pleading. He had promised
in return for her confidence this
night--to leave unpublished those
whom she wished to shield. He
would take back that promise. Be-
fore she revealed anything to him
he would warn her that he was de-
termined to discover those who
had twice sought to kill him.
1t was nearly midnight when he
looked at his watch again. Was 1t
possible that Meleese would not
come? He could not bring himself
to believe that she knew Of his i'm
prisonment in the coyote-of this
second attempt on his life. And
yet--if she did y.f4y

was not improbable that even now
they were many miles from the

unknown wilderness to the north.
And Meleese would be with them.
Suddenly he heard step, a

recognizing cry he sprang out into
the starlight to meet the slim, pant

clever bit of political reporting. He tells us what he

How few think justly of the thinking few
How many never think who think they do''

VALUES WATER WORKS PLANT
Neither City Nor Company Satisfied
With Result in Fond du
Lac Case.

Fond du Lac.-The Wisconsin
railroad com mission fixed the value
of the Fond du Lac waterworks
plant at $32O,O0O. This figure is
less than that determined by the
water company and considerably
more than that set by the city.
Following the receipt of the COM
missions report, the water. company
announced that it was disappointed
with the valuation made by the COM
mission and that it would go before
Judge Stevens of the Dane County
Circuit court and ask for a modiica-
tion OF the report in this particular.
On the other hand, taxpayers OBJ
tanned a temporary injunction at
once from Judge Fowler of the Fond
du Lac Circuit court, restraining the
city from taking any further steps
to consummate the purchase of the
plant.
The railroad commission held that
the proceedings of the city council
were regular in leading to the pur-
chase of the plant. Several taxpay-
ers vigorously attacked the council
on this score before the commission
and the injunction was obtained for
the purpose of having court of
record pass upon the legality of the
council proceedings.

GOOD ROADS IN sAUk
Unique Work of One County With
County Aid in Road Con-
struction.

Madison.-The county aid in road
construction was adopted in Sank
county in the fall of 1908 and a
county highway commissioner elected.
Several towns in the county, nota-
bly, the town of Baraboo, had previ-
ously done good work in the building
of macadam roads, but the greater
part of the towns had done very little
along the lines of hard road" con-
stTuction
j. T. Donaghey of North Freedom
was elected county highway commits
sioner and started actual work in the
spring ofs1909. The two notices he
has used as basis of all county work
are: What is worth doing at all, is
worth doing WE'LL" and "a dollars
worth of road for every dollar of tax. >
The work in this county is unique in
Wisconsin in the fact that the whole
work is done by the county forces
with county owned machinery. The
county now owns three very complete
road building outfits, who build the
roads in accordance with the best
modern ideas. All roads are surveyed
and planned by the State Highway
Department before construction is
undertaken. Last year a total of five
miles of road was built in eight
towns; during 1910 about ten miles
will be built in fifteen towns, and
during 1911 the demand is for even
more construction
The work in Sank county is an ex-
ample of the fact that the farmers
will willingly pay for road improve
ment if they see results for their
money. The system in Sank county
is an excellent example for other
counties in the state which are de-
sirous of getting the best possible
results from the expenditure of coun-
ty road funds

BY vote of ZIG to 10,
the citizens of Appleton decided to

The election is the third one in
which the water works question has
been voted on, is the beginning of the
end of the long fight between the city
and the water works company. as the
matter is now entirely in the hands
of the railroad commission
Appleton is the first municipality in
Wisconsin to vote to purchase a pub

railroad commission under the public
utility act. Other cities in the state
it is said, have been waiting for the
Appleton case. which has been before
the commission for over two years,
to be settled before taking similar
action
The fight between the city and the
water works company has been waged
in the courts for ten years. and three
times the citizens have voted at spe-
cial elections in favor of the munich
pal ownership of water works.
