ROAD PATROL.
Regular System for Keeping the
Highways In Order.

Work is going on steadily on the I'M
finished portions of the Richfeld high
ways. A number of miles of new road
will SOM be open for traffic The road
to Shoshone is almost completed, and
it has had some good rains so that it
will be good road there this season.
The commission has arranged for a
regular patrol system, SO that farmers
out over the tract will have regular sec
tions to keep in order. After every
rain, there will be a dozen teams out on
the various road divisions, equipped
with King drags, and will go over ev-
cry mile of highway--most of it the
very first day after the rain. This con-
slant attention will keep the roads nard
and smooth, and will inside of year or
two make them almost impervious to
RAIN and ruts.

A domestic science and manual

Winifred, rising from the depths of
the capacious trunk she was unpack-
ing, shook out a dainty blue bathing
suit.
How does this strike you, Aunt
Priscilla?" she asked, holding the gar
ment against her slim figure, and look
ing across the room with prim lips
but eyes dancing with mischief.
The elderly woman in a rocking
chair by the window stared critically.
''If some pieces were sewed on top
and bottom, it'd look tolerably like a
dress" she commented.

most of the bathing suits worn on

But you won't mind If I put 1t on
again today, where there's nobody to
see? I'll even sneak out by way of
the back door, Aunt Priscilla"
Half an hour later Winifred was
making her way across the fields that
separated her aunt's garden from the
sea. She must travel quarter Of
mile to reach the little old bathing
house which was one of few that
dotted the lonely shore.
Stepping from the doorway after
having attired herself for her swim,
Winifred paused to look over the
autumnal scene.

After the way I've been besieged all

But Winifred was not alone even
there. Coming down the winding
path that led from the lighthouse, a
man stopped as he caught sight OF
the solitary figure on the beach be-
yond. There's one Of the natives In
bathing he reflected, shifting the
small camera he was carrying. Il
wonder if l could get her for type?"
He hesitated; then made his way
cautiously behind the scrubby growth
until he reached a point of vantage.

unconscious.

swim, there was no one else on the
beach.

The two young women appeared at
the Photographic exhibit together.
From the first, Winifred was uneasily
conscious of something strange in the
attitude of her friends. They would
greet her; look at her with varying
degrees of suspicion or amusement,
and express themselves in mystifying
terms.
They passed into the alcove where
there was neatly arranged cOflec-
ton of snapshot pictures. A group Of
acquaintance were halted before the
gem of the collection and each one
eyed Winifred curiously as she ap-
preached. There was young girl with
outstretched arms and hair tossed to
the breeze. Her supple form showed
gracefully against the background Of
sea and sky, and her features were
radiantly distinct in the morning SUM-
shine. A title was given-"A Native
Type"
For moment Winifred stood
transfxed before the betraying photo
graph.
The next instant Dunstan Card, the
artist, was arrested at the head Of the
stairway by a whirlwind vision. A
feminine voice was challenging him.
Even in that moment, Winifred saw
that the man had the appearance of a
gentleman and was in fact, puzzled
at her attack.
II am Miss Bowers. You have my
picture on exhibition How dare YOU
make laughing stock of me?"
"Why, II never" began the ar
fist, but Winifred flashed out anew.
''It is my picture. | remember that
day well. You must have been spying
somewhere around. 1t must be re-
moved at once, Mr.. Card"
''The picture shall come down at
once" he declared. II cannot tell
you how sorry l am for my blunder."
Three months later brunette young
woman smartly dressed in broadcloth
and furs posed before the camera of
an artist from Philadelphia
"This is for my private collection"
remarked Dunstan Card. Can you
suggest fitting title, Winifred?"
Surely" smiled the girl teasingly.
why not A Native Type" Dunstan?
Taken by Dunstan Card" Even as
Winifred murmured the significant
words she was caught in an eager.
loving embrace; and their laughter
mingled joyously. But then, already
their engagement had been announced.
