ted by c. G. Burr. government weather
observer: The temperature for Deem
Der was above normal, and ranged

subsoil-there was probably never a
better illustration Of the advantage of

just passed. The value OF all farm pro-
value Of the crop Of 1910 Is probably
above the average. Note: The new
year gave us complete change in
weather condition. the rain continuing
all day, and amounted to .2b of an
inch. and an inch OF snow, with
radical change in temperature, the
mercury dropping to Is degrees below

ADVERTISING FOR TEACHERS.

The country schools Of Polk county
are short of teachers and the sugges-
ton has been made that the county
superintendent advertise for teachers
to fill the vacancies. Suppose, says the
Register and Leader, they did adver-
tise and they told the truth about the
positions in their advertisement ts,
something like this:
WANTED educated, capable
and tactful young women to take
full charge of the intellectual and
moral training of q family Of Is or 30
children, and direct their play, look
after their health and guard their
safety, and in addition build fires and
sweep and dust daily. She must be
attractive in appearance, she must
dress well and she must be sweet and
even tempered She must give several
weeks each year to self improvement
and study at her own expense, and II
other duties arise, she must accept
them without complaint. Salary from
So to $40 per week, for not more than
thirty-six weeks Of the year, and board
herself.
The Register and Leader asks how
many well educated, capable and tact
full young women would apply for the
Job? The advertisement, 1t declares,
does not overstate in any particular
what school boards expect of teach
ers, and yet they wonder and complain
because they cannot find enough
teachers for their schools. The won
der is not that they cannot find
enough, but that they find any at all.

BURDEN OF BAD ROADS.

L. w. Page, director of the United
States Office of public roads, estimates
the annual loss to be $40,000,000 on
account Of incorrect and inadequate
methods in the construction, mainte-
nance and administration Of our public
roads. He holds that the burden
which bad roads annually imposes
upon us through excessive cost Of
transportation reaches total Of $780,
100000 a year. Mr.. Page has lately
been made president Of the American
association for highway Improvement,
which has just issued an announce
ment OF It's purposes and plans, which
In part are:
TO correlate and harmonic the eff
forts Of all existing organizations
working for road improvement.
To arouse and stimulate sentiment
for road Improvement.
To strive for wise, equitable and
uniform road legislation in every
state.
To aid in bringing about efficient
road administration in the states and
their subdivisions, involving the intro.
duction Of skilled supervision and the
elimination of the public roads.
To seek continuous and systematic
maintenance Of all roads. the CLASH
fication of all roads according to the
traffic requirements, payment of road
taxes in cash and the adoption of the
principle OF state aid and state super
vision.
To advocate the correlation of all
road construction so that the import
ant roads Of each county shall connect
with those of the adjoining counties
and the important roads OF each state

CHAPTER VII.
The Murder Of Lucie We'll.

Seated on bench alone, behind a
grove of elm trees-my favorite spot
in. the park-I rested my elbows on
my knees, my head in my hands, and
tried to pull my confused ideas to-
gether.
This new turn that affairs had
taken by the move the alienist had
made was not calculated to reassure
me. At first I had felt great Joy to
think that suddenly, without prepare
ton, Evelyne's future was assured.
She met her fate the day after the
terrible tragedy, which might have
separated her from all conventional
people. It seemed like miracle-al-
most as great a piece Of luck as that
which had brought about my meeting
with Kingsley at Marcadian's house.
Truly, a miracle more or less in the
strange situation in which l was now
placed ought not to astonish me.
I soon saw that the American was
not at all satisfied with this second
choice his son had made. He could
not use the same arguments as ne had
against Lucie We'll, but those that he
did use were just as strong.
One thing was certain-I was more
than ever at the mercy of this man.
All! il that crafty Marcadian had
told us the match making he was up
to- and how things were going at his
home, Kingsley and l together could
have found satisfactory way out OF 1t
for everyone. Now there was no dan
ger of Williams changing. He was
determined to marry Evelyne. 1t was
brutal ultimatum that he had put be-
fore his father. The latter was ready
to rise up again. II he did, all the
diplomacy / had used would avail me
nothing. should have to resign my
self to the inevitable catastrophe
which awaited me. should surely

victim.
Enough of hesitation! But must
be as brief as possible. My powers OF
description are inadequate to describe
the suffering endured. =.
1 once heard Of reporter who
pushed the monomania for describing
the exact details of horror to such an
extent that he risked hanging on the
gallows SO as to be able to relate to
the readers of his newspaper, phase
by phase, the sensations he ex
perienced during his dangerous expert
ment. But there is some suffering
mental or physical, that cannot be De.

Here is, briefly, what happened to
me:

ready to spring at him. to fly at his
throat. incensed at the horror OF such
an odious crime, when, at q sign from
his master, Bambou seized me IN his
two brawny arms, paralyzing my
movements in the twinkling OF an eye
and threw me down on the kitchen
floor.

then loud cry In the night-G' cry OF
unspeakable anguish, coming from
strangled throat. Then distinctly
heard the terrifying words:
Help! Help!"
Then, above the tumult, Lucie's
piercing voice shrieked the supreme
call:
Murder! Murder!"
The cry expired in her throat.
All was silent.
My hearing had now attained the
sensibility Of microphone. I could
hear a low groaning, then rafting
in the throat. could not have made
any illusion on the CHASTITY crime
which surely had passed on the other
side of the partition between an un-
scrupulous man like Addison Kingsley
and little work girl Of no Importance

from me, in this deserted house, a
woman without defense had been
murdered.
