ROUTES TRAVELLED OVER BY or
1UMWANS FROM BLAKES-
BURG TO CENTERVlLLE.

Efforts to locate good road to serve
as the official route of the G.. K G.. & G..
highway between Blakesburg and Cen
terville are being prosecuted with
perseverance by Ottumwa good roads
boosters and R. N. Carson, chairman
OF the Iowa division of this highway,
who resides in Iowa City.
The third trip for this purpose to be
taken by the local road boosters was
made Wednesday when two car loads
of the enthusiasts left here in the
morning for Centerviile and picked up
Walter Abegg at Blakesburg enroute.
Two routes were taken. One on
leaving Blakesburg in the morning and
another on the return to BlakeSburg in
the afternoon. Both these routes are
new ones and have thus far never been
considered by the highway promoters.
Both routes are lilly but can be
made good thoroughfares If an inter-
estsd community cares enough to make
improvements, and thus secure a
through route from Chicago to the
coast and from Canada to the gulf, in
their neighborhood.
A Mr.. Biyens who resides on the
Unionville rural route No. which
lies along the road taken by the party
on it's way south from Blakesburg in
the morning, showed enthusiasm for
the projected highway in that vicinity
and rendered ahis aid. He has plan
whereby one of the Soap creek hills
can be improved to such an extent
that what is now a forbidding incline,
will become gradual rise and quite
practical for touring purposes.
The interest taken by those living
along the two routes will have much
to do with the decision of the commit
tee having charge Of the selection Of
the road This body is noncommittal
as to what it will do other than to say
that in order to secure official recon-
mendation from the Chicago Auto club
for the C.K.C.&G. highway as a through
route the road selected must be the
best possible; good in nice weather and
fair even in bad weather. Meetings will
be held with the people along the routes
travelled and if the interest is suffi-
cient to warrant selection, one of the
roads will be officially declared a part
of the highway.

In The RELIGIOUS World

Master no service thereby. All, Peter!
Peter! There was too much of the ego
in that lusty spirit of yours. You had
yet to learn to let God have his own
way with you.
The Fire That Warmed Not.
OF course it is easy to catalogue
Peters faults; when the only profitable
exercise is to substitute our own name
for his. 1t was a mistake for Peter to
Turk outside the hall where his Lord
was being tried, amid the enemies of
Jesus. He warmed himself at the
wrong fire; but the blaze built by the
soldier could not drive the chill from
his heart. Jesus in bonds was less
miserable than Peter standing by the
fire of his enemies.
If old Peter could come back to the
friends of Christ today with an admon-
ition it would surely be, stand with
your own crowd. Cultivate the fellow
ship of the saints. Don't try to walk
on the broad way with the crowd who
are not. friends to your Master. 1t is
hard to stand true amid enemies. Keep
away from the fires that are lighted
by those who would cruelty the Lord.
Disloyalty to Christ follows>desertion
of Christ's company"
For Peter, tainted by servant maid
denied that he so much as knew Jesus.
Imagine it! the brave Peter striking
his flag at the taunt of servant girl!
All the worst side of the old fisherman
burst forth in cursing, as, to save his
own liberty, he repudiated the Best
that had ever come to him.
The Look That Stabbed.
Then Jesus, from distance, looked
at Peter. Not word; only look. In
it was remembrance and reproach and
tender compassion. No bitterness or
unforgiveness, but only melting love
and sorrow. But it hurt Peter worse
than bludgeOn. 1t broke the Hood
gates of memory, and the impulsive
peritent rushed out and wept bitterly.
His repentance was as deep as his sin.
He had denied his Master, he had Deen
fasle to his best friend; and by that
one look he had seen the wound he had
caused In that gentlest of all spirits.
How did Jesus treat Peter early on
the resurrection morning, with his
spirit filled with unutterable thoughts,
he yet took thought to say to the wo-
man, GO tell my disciples and
Peter A special word for the heart
sore penitent; that was the sort OF low
ing Master Peter had.
The story is told find it in Pc
loubet' Notes"-that friend once
showed Ruskin costly handkerchief
on which blot of ink had been made.
Nothing can be done with that said
his friend, thinking the handkerchief
runined and worthless. Ruskin made
no reply, but carried it away with him.
After a time he sent it back, to the
surprise of his friend, who could
scarcely recognize it. In most skill
full and artistic way he had made
fine DESIGN in India ink, using the blot
as basis, making the handkerchief
more valuable than ever.
10 A blotted life is not hopelessly
useless life. If Ruskin could make
beautiful and valuable handkerchief
out of blotted one, how much more
car the Master himself make beauti'
full and useful life out of one that is
blotted by sin, if only it is surrender.

most pleasant companion to rather
naughty young woman, who insisted on
having him drive her over to Mt. Ma
tilda's at once.
But the thought of Marie Reagh in
this cold, unsympathetic mood was
none the less distracting, and Sidney
found frequent and repeated excuses
to go to ST. Matilda's within the next
few months. Sometimes he saw her
only in the hall and then he would drive
back over the mountains dreaming OF
that wonderful first night. He would
reproach himself for his stupidity IN
having broken the spell of their first
friendship by his silly show of feeling
the next morning. But Sidney did not
mend matters for one spring day Wnen
he drove over to st. Matilda's and
found Miss Reagh alone reading in the
school room he opened his heart to her
only to have her hurry away from MIN
in apparent terror.
One night in June the winds were
blowing gently from across the noun
tains to the parsons little cabin. He
was sitting on the door steps. At his
side he had the little music box which
was playing brief snatches from TRAY
iata" and 'Lohengrin.' Suddenly ne
heard footsteps in the road, and look
ing up he saw the figure Of woman,
we
her hand, and now turned in at his
gate In a few words she explained. AS
the summer had advanced and the
warm air had filled the mountains with
life she had become unutterably lone
some. She would take the stage back
to the city in the morning. In the
meantime she asked Sidney to drive
her down to the stage drivers wife for
the night.
Sidney forgot to ask her in to his lit
tie cabin but drew her down to the
steps at his side to listen to the mulsc
box.
There is no hurry" he said. Be
sides, my horse has just been fed. Per-
haps you can wait an hour with me. 1t
is the last time we will ever see each
other"
He turned to rewind the little music
box, and looking back again heard
Marie sobbing. What he was prompted
to do was foolish, he thought, just the
sort of thing that had spoiled his
chances before, but he would risk it.
Thereupon Sidney put two strong arms
on Marie's shoulders and drew her TO
him. Still Marie said nothing, and for a
wonderful minute he sat there with the
music box jingling meaningless frag-
ments and the wind out of the noun
tain sky blowing her hair against his
face.
Then, with a burst Of courage that
Sidney could not account for, he drew
her into his arms.
Marie, we are both homesick, and 1t
is not for the mountains and 1t IS not
for the city 1T is for each other"
This time Marie surrendered.
