fancy that he could better crystalline
his plans If he were in her presence
and could hear her voice. Since temp
tation had beset him he had existed In

His eyes were feverish as he bent
toward the girl when conversation
Jagged. Gertrude" he asked, huskily,
would you give up Eyans-would you
marry me If | had money-and could
give you things?"
Startled, she looked at him and then
she smiled, the half sad. tender smile

in spite of all.
But you'll never have money.

of the kind of men who get rich"

you'll marry me?"
She drew back and her face whit
ened as her eyes searched his haggard
face.
NO" she almost whispered, no, be-
cause II you came To me with n FOR
tune in YOU hands, Louis, I'd know
that you hadn't got 1t honestly"
As Brewer gazed into her eyes he
felt helplessly that they saw far down
into the secret recesses of his soul,
we're reading the b%lackness of the
thoughts there. He felt that she was
shrinking from him in a dawning hor-
ror. His face dropped into his hands.
II was as from a distance hat no

me-? Why should a question of wealth
enter into the subject of my-marry-

you think so poorly of me as that?",
The man, raising his head, saw her
breathless. flushed with the effort of
her words, with hat little smile of
tenderness and self giving. A loathing
of himself, of the sin that was scared
on his soul, overwhelmed him. swept
him out into the full current of life
again.

Brewer shrugged his shoulders a lit
tie angrily, for the idle remark irTi-
tatad him.
Its So" persisted the speaker.
You've the best chance on earth to
be dishonest If YOU wanted to and
never be suspected. Lucky for the
banks-and lucky for you-that you're
honesti"
The words repeated themselves in
his mind as Brewer walked along.
Crayfoot was right. Brewer. an eX-
pert man on safes, time and time
again again held the secrets of bank
vaults in his mind, with no man to
stop him should he choose to dispose
of the night Waterman and. opening
those vaults. relock them after help
ing himself. 1t was indeed lucky that
he was honest,
With the speculative smile still curry
ing his lips he turned in at the Guth-
ries' house, s%pringlng up the steps
with the eagerness which was always
his when Gertrude Guthrie was near.
As she came toward him, smiling,
Brewer thought again. as he had
thought innumerah'e times before,
how all things beautiful should be hers
by right-beauty of surroundings, of
garb, Of jewels. That she should be
wasted in obscu1ity seemed a crime
and The Guthrie family was In only
moderate circumstances, with all the
longing of those poor for generations
for the power of wealth.
That evening he discovered that eX-
element swayed Gertrude's parents.
Evans, the millionaire, had Of late
shown marked preference for Ger
trude's society. So In her mothers
heart a wild hope had sprung to life.
Brewer, who always had been cordial
ly welcomed before, felt n chill in the
air.
You forget" Gertrude's mother told
her when she had promised Brewer
that she would go with him to the
theater the following evening, you
forget that Mr.. Evans said he might
call"
Brewer, watching the color come
and go on the girls face with n queer,
choking sensation In his throat, knew
that to Gertrude also Evans wal a
glittering prospect.
Walking slowly homeward, thinking
1t over, he could not blame her. With
the possibility of losing her, despera-
ton began to tinge his thoughts. He
was still going over the same weary
round mentally the following day as
he worked on the time lock of the
Eastern bank. Into his musings, clear
and sharp like a stroke, tioated Cray
foot's idle suggestion as to his chances
to enrich himself.
His hands trembled as he worked
on Once or twice he glanced, half
frightened. into the interior of the
vault, where he had no right t. 60.
Strange thoughts disturbed lis brain
and his lips frightened into a line rs
he planned-for it could do no harm

The only drawback was that eyentu-
ally suspicion would narrow down to
him. BY then. however, he could have
his plumber safely concealed. They
could prove nothing and Gertrude
would believe in him.
This thought brought the first chill.
for how could he face her, she believ.
ing in him? He remembered her
trustful eyes and breathed hard. Then
he remembered Evans and again took
up his planning with tightening lips.

remarked road supervisor the other

the truth, and therein Is the explana-
ton for the difference in results OBJ

II you want TO secure the best re-

drive down the road with one horse
on each side OF the wheel track so
that the loose earth will be moved to-
ward the center Of the road. Come
back the same way on the other side
o. the road. II one round Is not

many as are necessary to bring the de

time you work he road although the
most good Is dons right after rain,
say as soon as the surface begins to
dry. The object is TO puddle the sur.
face. Roads that are treated In this
manner for a season become almost
impervious to water.
1t must not be expected that the
best results will be accomplished after
one or two draggings. The longer
the road is dragged the better II will
get The ideal contour may not be OBJ
tanned until the fourth or fifth time
over the road. although a difference
can be noticed from the frst In the
condition Of the road after rains.
When the Travelled part OF the road
is as good as can be made then you
are ready to widen the highway. Do
this by first blowing a shallow furrow
down each side of the road Just to the
edge OF the dragged portion. throwing
the soil Of course toward the center
Now pass along with the drag and
spread this loose soil over the surface
to the road and at the same time move

Of building a road In this manner is
that the surface Is packed as the road
is made. There are never any soft
places to be found In such a road,
and consequently ruts seldom form.
The best kind OF a drag is made as
follows: Split cedar post or the
end OF a telephone pole. at least ten
inches thick. so as to get two half
logs about 7 or feet long. This is
better than to use plank. Pick out
