TRAVELETTE
BY NIkSAH.
No. 76.-Landstrassen.

Reaching almost every nook and
Granny of the German Empire is an in
comparable system of macadam ave-
nueS, constructed, some say, solely from
the military viewpoint of rapid trans
portation of troops and army supply
trains, but, nevertheless, of consider
able convenience in times of peace.
These broad, smoothly kept highways
stretch in a network over the country.
as excellent in quality in the thinly
populated districts as in those parts
where cities and villages crowd one
another.
While the authorities who caused tho
construction of these roads may have
smelled the smoke and heard the
crackle of future battles, they must,
too. have had visions of loaded wafns.
vans and trucks teeming upon the
smooth macadam surfaces; for her
wonderful fretwork of good roads has
played large part in the agricultural
and industrial development of Ger
many. Probably, too, there was some
thought of the visiting stranger who
enjoys touring by historic places at
the legal speed limit.
However, good roads are not special
virtue of the Germans land. France.
too, is crossed and criss-crossed by the
same sort of remarkably well planned
arteries. There is. though, peculiar
]y German feature about the German
roads, and that is concerned with the
manner in which they are made to
help out in their upkeep.
Along the borders of the great Land
strassen, and even along the tree
lawns of streets reaching into VIII
lage or city suburbs. all manner OF
fruit trees are planted to give shade.
One may pass along one of these roads
for hours, which is shaded on either
side by two endless rows of apple trees
or plum trees. These trees, of course,
belong to the government responsible
for the maintenance of the roads. Their
fruit harvests are sold for the public
account AS the plums or apples near
the ripening stage, blocks of the trees
are auctioned off to the farmers or
the neighborhood. who harvest and dis
pose of the product. Thus, the German
thoroughfares are largely self-support-
ing.
Apple trees and plum trees give excel
lent shade, and appear about as wen
along the borders of an avenue as most
of the reproductive trees. Therefore.
in the interests of economy, the moving
principle or one of the moving princi-
pies behind German prosperity. au-
thorities of the empire have planted
the greater part OF their extensive tree
lawns in apples and plums. People who
have been so trained in the ways of
obedience that they come to slim at
tention and salute every time they see
a petty officer in a dream do not steal
lightly, So it is that the German prob
lem of making their tree lawns pay 10
a much simpler one than. for instance.
it might be in this country. The hum

eminent fruit trees and never help
themselves to an unjustified mouthful.

The big invalid was essentially a
gentleman. and he accepted politely 8
fragrant. crumbly cake. To his sur
prise it tasted better than he had
imagined cake could taste-perhaps
because it was so long since he had
| thought of ordering it for his own con-
sumption.
The following day she offered him
some fat. purple plums from the tree
whose branches brushed the windows
| of her home. and the next day f1aky
rice pudding. dotted with plump raisins
The big invalid loathed raisins. but un-
der the friendly compassion of her
glance he docilely finished them all and
expressed devout gratitude to the
donor.
Once when the small brother was
confined to the house for several days
because the pain was too great to be
borne in silence she fitted across the
garden just at dusk and requested a
rose from the Carter side of the fence.
The big invalid blew a shrill little
whistle which lay always in the pock-
cts of his lounging coat. and when
his man appeared was trundled about
and painstakingly selected with his
own hands the choicest blossoms.
She thanked him warmly. but a trifle
shyly. She was not accustomed: It
seemed. to having favors performed in
her behalf. On the contrary. she was
eternally giving of her time and pity
and gracious solicitude.

lightedly, her face as she bent above
the huge bouquet rejecting its delicate
glow. IT'S ever SO kind of you.
Poor little fellow. he's spent an es-
pecially trying day"
The big invalid had not cared to look
at Sherry because he reminded him so
forcibly of his own affection. but when
the small invalid's drawn little face ap-
den he was astonished to find himself
inordinately pleased at the boys re-
turn.
