service upon the roads, but, with
upwards of 1900 miles of roads in the
county-as we are informed--it could
hardly be reasonable expected that

equal to the task of improving and
keeping repaired so great mileage

Together they put their sAyuidsrs
to the bows Of the old. fiat-bottomed
rowboat, with incredible exertions up-
roofing It from its ancient bed. and at
length had It afoat.

painter slipped from his grasp and

boat In the darkness, vanished in a
swirl OF snow; and he was alone with
the storm and his misgiving3
Twenty minutes wore wearily away.
Falling ever more densely, the snow
drew an impenetrable wan curtain be-
tween Amber and the world of life

each disconrdant blast the strength

In the moments that followed. while

they evoked no answer OF any sort,
hope for Quain died hard in Amber's
heart. Resolutely he turned to con.
sideration of his own plight and
problematic way of escape
His understanding Of his situation
was painfully accurate; he was ma
rooned upon what a flood tide made q
desert island but which at the ebb
was peninsula-a long and narrow
strip OF sand. bounded on the west by
the broad shallow channel to the
ocean, on the east connected with the
mainland by a sandbar which half the
