can't put it over him so far as ability

of the busiest men in the House and is
alert and wide awake to everything

ONE OF THE very best bills intro
duccd in the present session of the leg
islature is that by Senator stephan OF
Delta and Mesa counties providing for
bond issue of fifteen million dollars.
one million to be issued each year for
fifteen years, for the construction OF
good roads in Colorado. This is the
true plan for the building of roads.
Pay for the work through bond Issue
and let future generations redeem the
bonds. The people who pioneer state
and pave the way for its future dcvel
opment and greatness cannot pay for
all the work they initiate and they
should not be expected to do so. Thei'
are planning and building for the IN
ture and it is only right that the future
should pay at least portion of the
cost. Good roads are real assets in anV
states development. They are the
greatest civilizers and developers Of
modern times and stephan s plan for
paying for them is the right one.

number Of women who are engaging in truck gar

However perhaps the most interesting phase Of
tho whole situation is the vast increase among
the women in the fields Of those who are not
only there on their own initiative but who are
also proprietors as it were rather than hired la
borers or even co-workers who subscribe to the
policy Of family cooperation.
The present back to the soil" movement is no

must DO admitted however that few Of the
european women who work in the fields appear
IN the least discontinued with their lot TO be
sure the explanation in many cases may be found
IN the fact that they know no other life and
seemingly give nary thought to the possibilities
OF an easier existence. Their mothers and their
grandmothers before them went into the fields
IN this wise and with a proverbial adherence to
precedent and custom they accept the RESPONSE
btltties as matter of course. At the same time
there are some Of these women who have given

is there is no masculine compulsion figuring in
the matter nor is American farmers wife or

doing her share Il she does not perform manual
labor In the fields under cultivation.
About the only circumstances in which we ind
the women Of our farming communities going
into the fields not exactly through a choice Of
their own is at harvest season when there is
scarcity Of labor. It sometimes happens that
farmers, particularly those in the more isolated
sections Of the west and middle west, find It i'm.
possible to secure. for love or money. the needed
harvest hands and rather than sec tho rlpened
grain lost for lack Of harvesters their wives sis

it-come to the rescue and performed the work Of
men IL the harvest field. In not few instances
women volunteers have under such circumstances
donned mems clothing and the almost unanimous
verdict Is that the advantage from the standpoint
Of utility more than counterbalance any Aetriment

Mr.. Haldane 10 Greatly Surprised.
Mr.. Haldane was In something of q
| Quandary." For certain reasons and for
some time he had been contemplating
an interview with Gormly. Not only
did he greatly desire the interview
which was indeed necessary, almost
vital in fact, to the furtherance Of Ger
tain matters in which he was deeply
concerned, but he did not desire that
his interest. personal interest, that is,
In the affair should appear In other
words he wanted to talk seriously
about something of great importance

matter was Of more than passing mo.

Gormly. The Gotham, Freight Trac-

poohed him at first, and even now,
though the public press was filled
with accounts of him and his doings.
they still greatly underestimated his
qualities. Haldane himself had Joined

Gormly. He had as yet enjoyed no
opportunity Of conversation with him.
save In a general way, as has been
seen; but he was accustomed to deal
with men, and he saw instantly that

again. There was long pause.
"Well," said he, flashing a direct
look at her, what do you think OF 1t,
Miss Haldane?"
1T is the greatest dream that ever
entered a human BRAIN" said the girl
! quietly.
1T is my business, it has been my
business all my life, Miss Haldane, to
make dreams come true, and I am
dreaming now a greater dream, dearer
to me than that I have outlined before
you"
What could he mean? She strove
to meet his glance fairly; but her own
eyes fell before his own direct gaze.

DO you think can do. it, make my
dream come true?" he asked.
Which dream, Mr.. Gormly?"
Both of them"
THAT you can be mayor of New
York; that you can redeem tho city:
that you can restore to the people
their libertiesI don't know. Other
men have tried it and have failed"
"And I may fail, too" answered
Gormly very quietly. "Such achieve
ments are not the results merely of
one mans efforts. The people them
selves must respond. Whether can
make them do that or not will de-
termine the issue.'
Il think you can, Mr.. Gormly. You
have made me respond
"And will you help met"
II! What can I dog"
do what you have done tonight;
listen to me, believe in me, inspire
me, be my silent partner in my en-
deavor as I have been yours In your
endeavor"' .
And after you have succeeded?''
THAT'S the other dream, and"
mr.. Gormly," she said resolutely,
IF you make that dream come true,
you will have done more service to
humanity than has ever been done by
citizen Of this republic, and you
will be the greatest man on this side
of the world" ~A.
"And If my other dream comes
true" said Gormly, II will be the hap
pest"
MAY they all come true!" said the
girl impulsively rising and giving him
her hand. ,...a ~ --
DO you mean that?" eagerly asked
the man, gratefully taking her prof.
