"The one who gets the trey OF hearts
will drain that glass. Is it bar
gain?"
Never! Oh, now know that you
are altogether mad!"
Perhaps. Are you ready?" Ano
Judith made as if to deal.
"No-never! l tell you ! refuse!"
Rose chartered. terrified.
"You dare not refuse"
"Why?"
Because Of this"
Whipping a small revolver from an
other pocket of her dressing-gown, Ju'
dith placed it on the table, ready to
her hand.
"You will shoot me if I do not con-
sent?"
Not you-but him. If you refuse,
little sister, I will shoot Alan Law
dead when he comes to keep his ap-
pointment with you"
"Ah!" Rose cried in mingled fright
and amazement. "How did you hnd
out?"
Never mind. Is it a bargain, now,
about the trey of hearts? Remember,
I shall keep my word about this pis-
toll"
With a shudder Rose bowed her
head.
Deal" she muttered fearfully, "and
may God judge between us!'
One by one she stripped the cards
from the top of the deck, dealing first
to Rose, then to herself.
>~Qpe by one they futtered to the
table ssither side the glass Of poison,
and fell assappermost.
The trey of hesssts fell to Judith.
There was an instant ssssssslesssdreaG
ended by Rose, as Judith's hand moved
; steadily toward the glass.
| Judith" she implored. Don't
beg of you-I didn't mean it take
back my consent"
"Too late!" said Judith, lifting the
glass and eyeing its contents with a
strange smile.
Judith! you cannot mean to drink
it?"
Cant !, thought" the other laughed
mirthlessly. "Just watch mel"
With strangled cry Rose covered
her face with her hands to shut out
the sight, stood momentarily swaying,
| and dropped to the floor in complete
faint.
Delaying only to recognize this phe-
nomena with a plying smile for the
weakness of spirit that caused it, Ju-
dith's glance darted through the win
dow and saw that which caused her to
stay her hand an instant longer.
On the topmost tier of girders Of the
building opposite, Alan Law stood
amid little knot of amused and anf-
mated laborers, one foot in the great
steel hook Of the hosting tackle, both
hands clasping the chain that linked
it to the gigantic block.
And as Judith stared, he smiled at
something said by one Of those about
him, looked back, and waved a hand
to some person invisible.
Immediately the arm began to lift,
the tackle to move slowly through the
blocks. Very gently he was swung up
and outward.
With a cry Judith flung the poison
heedlessly from her, leaped across the.
room, and snatched up the street gar
ments Rose had dropped at her sisters
entrance.
In another moment she was strug-
Cling madly into them.

to the hook and chain, fell athWart the

here in anguish all these weary years
for the fulfllment Of my revenge only
to be cheated at the end by Death ?
God grant that Alan Law may be laid
down still living here at my feet!
:. Then
A bitter smile twisted his tortured
features: Then shall my will be done
to him! And then, when have seen
him die as his father died-then-Ah,
God!-then at last I too may die!
There was long silence, then a
groan Of exasperated protest: "Why
do they not come? Why does Judith
delay, when she knows how I suffer?
Why have I been put of from day to
day with her kilograms that begged
for more time and promised every.
thing-but told nothing!-until yester.
day. E. Where are those mes
sages she sent me yesterday"
His one sound hand groped out like
claw and sought mass Of papers
on the desk beside him, sorting out
from among them two yellow forms.
Painfully he blinked over these and
slowly his pain-bent lips conned their
wording;
".Alan and Rose safe with me-will
bring both home tomorrow night with.

then the second: Have motorcar

Of one persuaded by his own desires:
"I must not doubt the girl! She has

seemed to sleep, but so deceptive was
that semblance that he was alert for

erect and eyes a-blaze.

vibrating like a brazen bell. cat last!
Where is he? You have brought him? ?

With no more answer than sigh,
the girl dropped her head and let her

After an instant of incredulous dis.
appointment the man shot a single,
frigid question at her:
You have failed?"
81 have failed" she confessed.
"Why?"
She shrugged slightly. Who knows
why one fails? l did my best: he was
too much for me, outwitted me at
every turn. Time and again I thought

either by his own wit and courage or
with another's aid. Only yesterday
night they were all three in the hol-
low of my hands-but now bring you
only Rose"
She faltered, awed by the glare OF
his infuriated eyes Let me explain, y
she begged.
He snapped her short: you cannot
explain The thing is impossible, that
you should have failed. There is some.
thing beneath this, something you
will not tell me-
She endeavored to speak, but he en-.

His hand sought the row Of buttons
on the desk and pressed one long.
Almost instantly a servant glided
noiselessly into the room.

In another nsment the replica OF

Permit me at this point to discuss
the findings of the General Survey
Committee as they touch our educa-
tional efficiency and practice in tho
State at large in past years, and at
the present time. 1t is declared in
the survey that sixty out Of every
hundred of the workers interviewed
reported that because of lack OF
schooling they were hampered in be-
coming efficient in their trades All
who had had three years or less OF
schooling said this emphaticaily Many
of the workers have taken courses
since leaving the regular schools. Both
apprentices and journeymen ask FOR
these additional courses, and the sub
jects' Il again quote the survey

$4,000 NILES Of
ROADS IN 10 YEARS
REMARKABLE RECORD REPORT
ED IN YEARBOOK OF AMER
loan HIGHWAY. ASSOCIATION.

That remarkable progress has been
made in the building OF good roads
throughout the United States during
the past few years Is proven by data
recently obtained by the American
Highway Association. and soon to be
published in the ofiic.al Good Roads
Yearbook for 1915.
1t has been found that more than
$4,000 miles OF surfaced roads have
been constructed during 1913 and
1914. and that during the ten-year
period from 1Sc4 to 1914 more than
$4,000 miles have beene completed.
That this progress has been really
amazing may be understood from the
fact that In 1904 there were only l5S.-
900 miles Of surfaced roads Of all
types In the United States. That the
movement is attaining momentum a.
II goes Is proven by the fact that
while Ia average mileage constructed
per annum during the past ten years
II $4,000 miles, the total completed
for 1914 exceeded $4,000 miles.
The report will show that some-
thing IKE ~. 900 miles of highway
have bean completed with the aid OF
State funds, ct which over = 500. 000.-
600 have been expended. The StatA-
aid movement began In 1892. and has
therefore, continued for TWENTY-FIVE
years. Only recently has It gotten
