Then day Hallowell called Bat, and the imp
didn't answer; for he didn't hear his masters voice and
the crewman found him glued to paper describing

For the next two weeks Bat lived in a Dream and his
talk was an incoherent delirium about Josh Devore

that he would have nothing on his

developed a touch of rheumatism
and stayed at home, and Hallowell
was called to Portland to a direc-

a case came in that required the
immediate drawing of papers, and
Fink and l stayed down in the office
until eleven P. NJ, with both Swazey
and Bat hammering away for dear
life at the machines. Then Fink
gathered up the papers and told Bat
that he was going to Albany, and to

eight by ten room opening on an
airshaft, with his brain in a whirl,
hearing the click of the machine, and
trying to remember all the things

HIGHWAY
Selects "Old Stage"
Route as Official Road
WHICH INCLUDES CAMDEN

The Memphis-to-B Bristol High
way Commission in session in the
Rock City officially announced
Tuesday the route of the trans
State Highway, selecting what is
known as the northern route from
Memphis to Nashville and the
southern route from Nashville to
Bristol.
From Memphis the road will pass
through Arlington, Brownsville,
Jackson, Huntingdon, Camden,
Waverly and Dickson to Nashville.
East from Nashville, it will pass
through Murfreesboro, Woodbury.,
McMinnville, Sparta, Crossville,
Kingston, Lenoir City, Knoxville,
Jefferson City, Greenville, Jones'
boro, Johnson City and Elizabeth
town to Bristol.
The highway will be 557 miles
long, 257 miles from Memphis to
Nashville and 800 miles from
Nashville to Bristol. 1t will not
follow the center line of the State
geographically, but will come very
nearly dividing equally the popu-
lation and taxable wealth of the
State.
AS agreed, and according to the
Commissions plan, the road is to
be built so feet wide from line to
lie with macadam of whatever
width that may be designated. 1t
is possible that all three of the
routes from Nashville to Jackson
will be constructed.
