CHAPTER VII.

Jonesville was In mourning. Broad
ways departed uncle had inspired not
much Affection he had not been one
to care to; but for many years, to the
workers In the factory, he had been a
sort of business deity-the semi-provi-
Dental head of the great enterprise
through which they gained their liveli-
hood.
The folk Of Jonesville had neither
loved him nor revered him; he had
been sort OF elemental necessity to
their peace of mind; they had, so to
speak, leaned with a feeling of secur-
ity upon his stubbornness, knowing he
would never sell out to the gum trust;
if he did not sell out to the gum trust
the factory would operate; If the fac
tory kept running Jonesville would
continue to eat, drink, and, In It's
crude, undevolped way, be merry. Now
that he was dead, feeling of uncer-
tainty spread mild panic through the
little town.
The Judge was waiting for the two
men in the hotel corridor. His worry
over what the new owner of the fac
tory might decide to do about the per
fectly we'll known trust plans was
quite as keen as anyone's, but his dig
nifty forbade that he should make dis
play of it.
It was something Of relief to him
when Broadway hurried to him from
the hotel Office and held out his hand,
although the boys appearance was a
shock to him. He remembered him as
Higgins mother had described him
and as the dapper, boyish youth who
had aroused the wonder of the town
with patent leather shoes and new
dance steps. This pale, extremely
urban man, young still, naturally, with
a face which told untoward tales of
night experiences such as We're not
written upon any face in Jonesville, no
matter what its age, nonplussed and
! confused him. He had expected nor
NAL changes; he saw metamorphosis.
Judge" said Wallace, who, although
stranger, was first to grasp his hand
I'm glad to see you" There was a
harassed look upon his face as if he
might have had a difficult time with
Broadway on the train
The Judge took Broadway's hand
"And this Is little Jackson! Broad
way, we used to call you. Well, I'm
glad to see you'll"
Thanks, judge" Broadway really
was glad, and shook hands heartily, al
though the sybarite In him already
was in strong revolt against the old
hotel.
"I'll go in and register, Broadway"
said Wallace. "And I'll put you down
as Mr.. Jackson. No use in"
"Yes." said the Judge approvingly

that IL Broadway really came back to

GEsTS PUTTING "HONoR MEN"
FROM STATE PRISON ON ROADS

Tulsa, Okla, Sept 29.-It is with
special pride that Tulsa people will
learn that a Tulsa man has made
good in a big job of road building.
A. II. Collins is well and favorably
known in this section of Oklahoma.
He was the first county surveyor and
engineer of this county and made a
first class reputation for himself. Be
ing in the government survey work of
this country in the beginning, gave
him an advantage when it came to
laying out the lines here at home.
When the state highway department
was organized, Col. Sidney Suggs, its
commissioner, appointed him assistant
engineer to this department, a posi-
tion he held until last year, when he
was promoted to state highway en-
gineer. In this position he has made
good.
Since being in this office he has de-
signed a number of steel bridges for
the department, his floor system for
1-beam structures is said to be Of the
best, and practically makes it a re-
inforced concrete structure, and ever
lasting. He believes the state should
buy the steel for this class of bridges
in large quantities, have the machine
drilling done in the State penitentiary
and sell them out at cost to the various
counties. Such a system would result
in a great saving TO the taxpayers, as
large numbers of these small struc-
lures from 10 to SO feet are used
yearly.

MANY INJURED IN CRASH OF
CARS WITH BOTH SUBWAY AND

New York, Sept. 29.-Three collis-
! ions of subway and surface cars and
fire of an elevated train sent eigh-
teen persons, more than half of them
women, TO hospitals Tuesday. Two
of the injured were said to be NOR
tally hurt.
Four persons were injured in a
crash between subway trains at One
Hundred and Forty Second street
and at Lexington avenue. The
subway was blocked and tens of
thousands of persons were DELAYED
on their way to work.
Six persons were the victims of
a collision between surface cars in
the center of the One Hundred and
Forty-Fifth street bridge over the
Harlem river. One car that had
been struck, deserted by crew and
passengers, and not held by it's own
brake, then shot down the incline
of the bridge and crashed into an
other trolley car at the end of the !
bridge. Eight more persons were
taken to the hospitals as a result
of this accident.
The last car on a seven-car ele-
waited train at Third avenue and Fiji
ty7Second street caught fire. There
was panic among the passengers,
three women were injured, and traf-
fic was blocked for nearly an hour
The traffic congestion that follow
ed the collision in the subway was
the worst in the history of the
city. At several stations more than

That the convict system of road
ing will be taken up by the next legis-
lathre, Mr.. Collins has no doubt. The
honor men" should be worked in the
counties from which they are sent, and
given an opportunity to redeem them
selves. He believes 100000 worth of
good roads could be constructed each
year by this method in the state. The
prisoners would enjoy better health
morally as well as physically and
would come out of their service, better
men in every way. Mr.. Collins says en-
gineering and politics do not go well
together. They should be divorced
in municipal, county, and state affairs.
As long as an engineer does his duty
and keeps his hands "in front of him,
he should receive the support of ev-
cry honest, fair-minded citizen, but
Just as soon as he shows symptoms of
getting crooked" he should be fired
regardless of his political affiliations,
be he democrat or republican. There
fore his office should if an appoint
i've one, during clean official life only.
Upon the completion of his work in
southern Oklahoma, the following was
issued:

The state highway department has
just finished twenty.eight miles Of

numerous bridges and culverts in We

charge of the state highway engineer.
The expenditure. of this S25,000.00 in

vision has been accepted We believe
A. II. Collins of Tulsa Okla who had

oughly competent, honest reliable and
