OF the other. The union between the two
abdominal cavities must also cause the
twins to share many of the commonest all
ments OF mankind. They must have what
is politely termed "a stomach ache" to-
gether, because this is usually felt through
out the abdominal cavity. An attack OF
peritonitis must inevitably spread from one
20 the other.
What Is the position OF these unfortunate
twins in the eyes OF the law and the
church, Have they separate personalities
and separate souls, or must they be con.
sidered one. because there are so few
things that one can do without the other?
II has been argued with reason by law.

two brains they must be regarded as two

In Paris that Mile and Christina-"the

Aragon that he should locate the claim for me under a power of attorney. Didn't know him then like I do now The papers had to be sent to Mocte- zuma and Hermosillo, and to the City of Mexico and back, and while I was waiting around I dug in on this lead and opened up the prettiest vein of quartz you ever saw in your life. Here's a sample of it, and it's sure rich"
 He handed De Lancey the familiar piece of quartz and proceeded with his story.
 That ore looked so good to me that I couldn't wait-I shipped it before I got my title. And right there I made my mistake. When Aragon saw the gold in that rock he just quietly re- corded tho concession in his own name and told me to go to blazes. That's the greaser Of it! So I blew the whole mine up and hit for the border That's the Dutch of it. reckon" he added grimly. Anyway. my old man was Dutch"
 He paused, smiling over the mem ory of his misplaced credulity, and Hooker and De Lancey joined in . hearty laugh. From the town bum that he had first seemed this shabby little man had changed in their eyes until now he was a border Croesus. the mere recital of whose adventures conjured up in their minds visions of gold and hidden treasure.
 The rugged face of Bud Hooker, which had been set in grim lines from the first, relaxed as the tale proceeded and his honest eyes glowed with ad- miration as he heard the well-planned scheme. As for De Lancey, he could hardly restrain his enthusiasm, and. drawn on by the contagion, Henry Kruger made maps and answered ques- tions until every detail was settled.
 After the location had been marked, and the lost tunnel charted from the corner monuments, he bade them re- member 1t we'll and destroyed every vestige of paper. Then, as a final ad- monition, he said:
 Now go in there quietly, boys don't hurry. Prospect around little and the Mexicans will all come to you and try to sell you lost mines. Cruz Mendez is the man you're looking for he's honest, and he'll take you to the Eagle Tail. After that you can use your own judgment. So good-by" took them by the hands-"and don't talk!"
 He held up warning finger as they parted, and Bud nodded briefly in reply. Silence was habit with him, desert-bred, and he nodded his head for two.

WAYS OF A BAD ROAD THIEF
Forces Farmer to Haul Small Loads, Drive Slowly and Occasions
 Many Expensive Delays.

L I- ~
 The bad road thief forces you to haul small loads, drive slowly, wrench and twist the life out of your horse, harness aud vehicle. often breaking and damaging the latter until great and expensive delays are occasioned. It also steals your opportunity to dis pose of your farm when you wish to sell, for no man will pay as much for a farm bordered by poor road sys- tenn as he will for one with a we'll kept highway, and some will not buy a farm at all when the road system is poor. The loss of time and money where the above named conditions ex- ist makes it imperative that you open all the drain ditches along the road. and drag this silent. notorious thief to death with the King road drag.

can be used summer or winter, but scraping, grading, culvert repairing and draining ought to be done in June, July, August and September. Earlier in the year the mud will prevent any real work being completed. Later in the fall the rains will turn the fresh, ly graded roads into loblollies of clayey water.
 From now on until the first snows and freezes the dirt road can be shaped and graded. I am of the opin-. ion that the plan of appointing some one farmer as overseer or road boss" and having the rest of the neighbor- hood work under this inexperienced man is mistake The time will come when all road work will be done under the supervision of man who does nothing but plan and build and possi- bly maintain roads. He will know roads under all weather conditions and can look after their creation, drainage and repair intelligently. It is mostly hit or miss proposition now.
