Two Flashes.

And so the days passed. And the
weeks passed, with Gordon Kelly still
bottled up in the log cabin or within
a few feet of it, And then one day
there came a change.
His captors had procured newspa-
pers for Gordon now and then, and
one afternoon he was seated in the
shade of a tree, with his back
against the trunk of it, reading. The
guard sat fifteen feet in front of him.
pistol in hand And while he was
absorbed in the baseball scores some
thing flashed across the page of his
newspaper. A moment later there
came another flash. He cautiously
lowered the newspaper and glanced
at his guard Finding his attention
had not been attracted, Gordon
brought the paper up to his face
again and gave a little gesture with
one of his hands. Then, holding the
paper in such way as to hide his
head from the mountaineer he slowly
turned.
What he saw caused him to smile
and put his paper aside, and arise
and stretch himself and yawn.

No Chance to Escape.

Next morning Gordon had more of a
chance to stretch himself. The fetter
was removed from his leg, and after
breakfast he was taken outdoors and
allowed to do as he pleased within
certain limits. The place the noun
taineers had chosen to take him was
situated in a kind Of cup or hollow in
the hills. 1t was effectually concealed,
and there was no chance Of their being
discovered, unless someone should in
advertently stumble on their hiding
place. Figuring on this possibility,
Gordon told himself there was but one
chance in a million of anyone finding
the place by accident. on in the
mountain country, several miles from
a road that was almost never used ex-
cept between the mansion and Pew
Station, he was as much a prisoner as
though he were on some desert island.
His captors took absolutely no
chance of his escaping. Wherever he
went within the limits pointed out to
him by the black bearded man, ne was
followed, as the ringmaster, long whip
in hand, follows the performing horses
in circus, by one OF the four men
holding a gun ready for instant &C
ton. At intervals Gordon would try
to start a conversation, but he did all
the talking. Never were such silent
men as the nountaineers proved to be.
He could get absolutely no explana-
ton as to why he was being held a
rrispuar

On Cain s Trail.

SA SNtAA4 . @ANNAAs
Farnsworth had not long to wait.
-Four days after he set out to run
down the Forrest Cain clew he re-
ceived word through his underground
route that the man under suspicion
would leave town next morning by an
early train, destination unknown.
Farnsworth sat in a taxicab sta
toned within 100 feet of Gains home
from until s.: 80 o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning before Cain issued
forth. without bag or baggage, and,
jumping into his car, which had been
sent around from the garage, was
driven to the depot. The newspaper
man followed along behind, but was
not quick enough to reach the ticket
office in time to learn Gains destina-
ton. He trailed his man into a pas
senger coach and dropped into a seat
ten feet behind him.
The train started and the conduc-
tor began his pilgrimage to collect
fares. Not knowing where he was
going F'arnsworth paid cash fare
from station to station, and before
long he had a pocket full of rebate
slips. They travelled several hours
before Cain made a move. Then he
alighted at a small place Farnsworth
had never heard Of. Just as the train
started again the newspaper man
jumped off, and lighting a cigarette,
kept his eyes on his man. He saw
Cain go up 10 a Cracker who was
holding a horse by the bride. After
few words with him, Cain mounted
the animal and rode off up the road.
F'arnsworth debated a moment with
himself and then approached the man
who had been holding the horse. He
was now leaning against a telegraph
pole with his hands in his pockets.
Where does that road lead to?" he
asked.

the man.
What place does it strike on the
other side?"
Pew Creek"
How far is Pew Creek from here ?"
Bout 80 miles I reckon"
No Other Horse.
Il want to get a horse and buggy
or something to take me over that
road. Can you fix me up?"
The native turned his head and
spat, after which ne looked at Farms
worth and grinned.

around here, subj" he said
This place appeared to be worse
than Pew Greek as a transportation
center.
Who is that man that got the
horse?'' he asked.
You got me" replied the Cracker.
He come up here awhile ago and
went on up the road on that same
horse"
That was about all the information
the native had to give For the time
being Farnsworth was up against
it" The only thing for him to do

convinced that there was good
deal to Morrissey's theory.
There were two reasons why Long
Toms line of argument appealed to
the newspaper man. In the hrst
place, he saw the ingredients of an
other bangup story for The Geor-
gian and in the second place At
lanta had opened to be insufferably
hot just at that time and he was
casting about for an excuse to get
away from the office for brief pc
Rod.
Farnsworth put in the evening
learning all there was to learn about
Forrest Cain, and then laid wires co
keep covered on the movements OF
that person. His method of proce-
dure was to get in touch with Whis-
ky (not the alcoholic beverage, but
the colored man employed by the At
lanta Baseball Club. Whisky, being
a somewhat important parsonage
among his Coterie, fixed things up so
that Farnsworth, through devious
channels that led up to George, the
cOlored valet Of Cain, would receive
daily reports of the man he was trail
ing, and in addition he would be in
formed whenever Cain was to leave
town. Then, having arranged things
at his Office, he laid back and waited

a small group of farmers with the

there are apple trees. TWO OF

to the methods used by the best
growers. These meetings will be
held wherever Just few will leave

Washington. y G.. Nov i7~ The
average llfe Of horses and autoino-
bies may be increased and the cost
Of hauling reduced according 10 the
office of Roadsof the Department .
Agriculture by relocating many old
roaas and the more scientific laying
out of new ones. The natural ten
dency IN road building ~ 70 build a
straight road. whether it goes over
steep grades or hills, or not. and
puiling over these grades naturally
adds 10 the wear and tear ON horses
and vehicles.
The doctrine Of the office OF
Roads is that the longest way
around may often be the shortest
and most economical way home, and
that frequently by building a high
fway around hill or grade, but iitti
appreciable distance is added and
this lis more than offset by the re-
dueed strain Of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point OF view is that the
aying out OF roads on this principle
of avoiding grades neeessitates, In
somp eases. running the road
through good farm land or orchards
or pastures, instead of going around
the farm nine and building the road
through old worn-out fields and oy
rocky knobs. This, OF course, must
raise a question in the mind OF the
individual land owner as to whether
the cutting up of his property by
road Yields him individual adyan-
tages and so benefits his commun-
ity as to offset the use of such land
for a road, or to overcome the IN
convenience of having his land dlVid
ed. In this connection the OFFICE
Uof Roads points out that the run
| ming Of road and the resultin
traffic through good farm, where
there are good sheep, cattle. horses
grain. fruit, or vegetables, has a
certain advertising value and in
many instances makes the land more
valuable. In other cases,the impor-
tance of such level road to the
community is so great that 1t might
well repay those using the road TO
give the farmer the equivalent IN
land equally good in place OF what
he has sacrificed to the common wei
fare
At any rate. the Office OF Roads J
now taking special pains to make
clear the economic advantage oi
avoiding steep grades in their roads,
even ut some sacrifice OF better land
Investigation shows that the laying
of such roads over hills has resulted
more from attention to the preser-
walton of farm lines than from scien
tific road building.
According to the testimony OF farm
ers consulted, where a horse might
be able to pull 1000 pounds on
a level road, it would have difficulty
in pulling 5000 pounds up steep
hill The size OF the load, therefore
tends to be measured by the grade
Of the largest hill ON the road to

/ ing Of roads around hills has been
accomplished, either with no addltlo
In road length In some instances,
and with the adding Of only q Few
feet to the highway in others The
office knows no case where a pro-
perly relocated road which has cu'
out grades has led to any questions
as TO its material reduction OF haulin
costs.
