CHAPTER K.

There was another than the foreman
who was happier than ordinary words
would have expressed, now that Jack
son Jones had stated, with what
seemed to be finality, that he intend
ed to continue at the business which
had made his fortune and had made
Jonesville. But Josie felt a strange
need for reserve in her young employ
er's presence. a need which she had
not felt the night before and one which
she could not explain.
Her impulse was 70 rush into ex-
travagance Of praise after he had sent
the foreman out into the works TO ten

Almost he made the revelation of their
startling midnight wanderings, but
caught himself in time.
why don't you open your uncle's

MY uncle's home?" he said, little
startled.
He had not thought OF that. The
suggestion probably did more to drive
home definitely to his inner mind the
true significance of his decision to
take up the business than anything
which had previously occurred. His
uncle's home!
After his fathers death 1t had been
his home; 1t had been the only semb-
lance of home which he remembered.

had but little understanding OF boy ma.
ture; the house had been a sort Of
prison from which he could escape al
intervals each day.
He had not even thought of opening
It; 1t never had occurred to him that
he could ever live another day of his
life there.
But. now she spoke of 1t, why not?
The place was grim, old-fashioned, in.
hospitable, forbidding, as SO many old
New England houses are, and as so
many more New England houses were
ten years ago; but that atmosphere
was more that of its occupant than
that OF the old place itself. . 1t must

skyscrapers) is the only architectural
merit America has yet originated, and
than which nothing is more truly
beautiful; it must have been social
Jones who added the great wing to it,
for In that wing were bedrooms, sit
ting rooms, and a great dining-room
quite plainly meant to welcome many
guests.
His memories Of the house were
gloomy and unattractive, for from II
both his father and his mother had
been taken to their final resting places,
and In 1t he had spent few joyous
hours. All the happiness Of his youth
in Jonesville were associated with the
homes OF others, public places, out-of.

not house happiness? He realized that
II would make an ideal setting for
pure Joy. Still, It was In Jonesville!

She nodded. She was rather glad
to feel that It was right for her to nod.
She would have shrunk from revela-
lions of the sorrow which would GER
tainly have filled her heart II 1t had
transpired, now, that Broadway was
not to remain in Jonesville. She even
shrank from an acknowledgment Of
this in her own heart.
'The business will need your 0tten-

"BOUND FOR
WESTERN CANADA"
A .PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN,
THAT STARTED FROM
NEBRASKA.

Four horses abreast attached to o
red painted prairie schooner, with
windows and protruding stovepipe,
with the words, Bound for Canada"
on the schooner's side, was the object
Of considerable interest as 1t passed
on the way northward from Nebraska
short time ago through the towns
in Nebraska, South and North Dakota.
After some weeks Of strenuous travel.
Ing in this way, Mr.. ]. F. Jensen made
the overland trip from Jameson, Ne
braska, and with his little family made
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, in the province Of Saskatche-
wan. Their destination was Willow
Bunch, a district that Mr.. Jensen
had selected as one in which 1t was
possible for him to work out his for
tune. He located on good half Sec
ton Of land, and intended putting on
1t some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairie grass that grows SO
luxuriously in that district. In add
ton to this his purpose was to cult
vate q portion Of 1t and raise wheat,
oats, barley or fax. In short, life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had in view and 1t Is easy to un-
derstand that he will make success
Of it, and in a year or 80 will attach
some more land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small, it may safely be said that Mr..
Jensen, like thousands Of others who
have begun life in western Canada on
no more and with probably much less,
will prosper. He will not be far from a
line Of railway. Schools will be close
at hand and other social conditions so
necessary in a new country are avail

BUILDERS OF ROADS.
NORTH CAROLINA GooD ROADS.
ASSOCIATION ADJoURNs BIG
MEETING AT DURHAM.
GOVERNORS HAVE CONTROL
Board Will Select Officers Of the
State Association.-Many Bills
Discussed.

Durham. - The North Carolina
Good Roads Association adjourned
after selecting officers for the COM
ing year, all of the old men being
retained in Office, amending the by
laws of the association and hearing
an address by w. C. Hammer, who
told of the methods used in his coun-
ty for interesting the farmers in the
work of good roads. Probably the
most important change in the consti-
tuition and bylaws was putting the
association under a. board of govern
ors, instead of having the business
end, election of officers and directors
of finances looked after by self-per-
petuating board of governors.
The next meeting place was left to
the executive committee.
Greenville won the prize for best
attendance with Vance county second
prize; Buncombe won the prize for the
best exhibit of good roads pictures.
The presentation of proposed bill
for a state highway commission was
the feature of the session of the good
roads convention. The proposed law
was presented by A. w. Graham of
Oxford, followoing an sd1ress on this
topic.
Mr.. Graham discussed the functions
of the proposed commission land said
that it had been introduced and was
working in large proportion of the
states Of the union, that such a COM
mission or some such authority was
needed for the road builders of the
state was shown not only by the fine
grade of work that was being done in
other states and countries, but also by
the fact that North Carolina is an
nually dosing great sums of money
because Of the lack of proper super.
vision of it's road construction. In
stead of building up a great network
of roads over the state, the various
counties have constructed small coun-
ty roads for their own use
The speaker thought the state com
mission should be supp >rted by taxes
from the state treasury added to by
similar funds from the counties. He
suggested that the next legislature be
asked to pass law similar to that
in the state of Georgia in which all
of the convicts of the state peniten-
tiary were used in. the construction
of good roads
