Sign Posts.

All crossroads in this, and every
other county in the state, should
be equipped with signboards
The sooner this is done the better
it will be; not alone for the auto
tourists who in large numbers are
crossings our state, but for the
people of our own county who
have occasion to make trips into
territory unfamiliar to them.
A generous act never fails of
its reward and when township
trustees, or county commissioners
or whoever should do this work
can perform SO splendid a service
in the line of official duty at so
little cost, it ought to be done.
In many parts of this, and other
states, people of our county have
appreciated the kindness of those
who have placed signboards and
guide posts at the various cross
roads and we should return the
compliment. Some of tine prin-
cipal roads in the county already
have been marked but there are
many important crossroads left
unmarked and the need of guiding
signs at such places is great.
In ox-cart days small thought
was given to guide posts. When
the horse crowded tine OK from
the highways, guide posts assum-
ed a larger importance. But it
remained for the automobile to
bring the crossroads sign post to
its full usefulness.
Those are days of long tours.
On any day one may see machines
bearing the license tags of a dozen
states, many Of them distant. The
county is criss-crossed with tour
ists routes and scarcely any terri

CHAPTER XIX.
A Blank Sheet Of Paper.

Florence was a fortnight in recov-
ering from the shock of her expert
ence at the masked ball Of the Prin-
cess Parlova, who, by the way, disap-
peared from New York shortly after
the fire, no doubt because Of her fear
of the Black Hundred. The fire did
not destroy the house, but most Of
the furnishings were so thoroughly
drenched by water that they were
practically ruined. Her coming and
going were a nine days wonder, and
then the public found something else
to talk about.
Norton was constant visitor at the
Hargreave place. There was to him a
new interest in that mysterious house,
with its hidden panels, its false floors,
its secret tunnels; but he treated
Jones upon the same basis as hitherto.
One thing, however: He felt a sense
of security in regard to Florence such
as he had not felt before. So, between
assignments, he ran out to Riverdale
and did what he could to amuse his
sweetheart. Later, they took short
rides In the runabout, and at length
she became as lively as she had ever
been.
But often she would catch Norton
brooding.

recognized the reporter. All the devil
in him came to the surface and he
fought with the fierceness OF a tiger
to kill, kill, kill. In nearly every in
stance this meddling reporter had
checkmated him. This time one or the
other of them should stay in the
water.
Norton recognized that he had a
large order before him to disable
Braine, The recognition between
them was now frank and absolute;
there could never again be any diplo-
matte sidestepping.
You're a dead man, Norton"
painted Braine, as he reached for the
reporters throat.
Norton said nothing, but struck the
hand aside. For a moment they both
went under. They came up sputter-
ing, each trying for a hold. 1t was a
terribly enervating struggle.
Florence could do nothing. The
boat in which she sat continued to
drift away from the fighting men.
Once she tried to reach Braine with
the pole he had been using, but failed,

they began to reason that perhaps a
woman had got as far as the door and
then turned away, walking on the
turf.
Meantime Florence was borne along
by the swift current of the river, which
gained in swiftness every moment.
From time to time she bumped along
the rocky walls, but she chung to life
valiantly. In ten minutes she was

where in advance.
Braine thought he really had a clue
to the treasure, and with his usual
promptness he set about to learn II 1t
was worth anything. He procured a
launch and began to prowl about, u.s.
ing a pole as feeler. All the while
he was being closely watched by Nor
ton who had concluded to hang onto
Braine's trail till he found something
worthy OF note. Braine was disguised,
but this time Jim was not to be fooled
But what was he looking for wondered
the reporter? Braine continued to
pole along, sometimes pausing to look
over the gunwale down into the wa
ter. In raising his head after the last
investigation he discerned something
struggling in the water, about three
hundred yards away. The current
leisurely brought the object into full
view. 1t was young woman with
Just power enough to keep herself

thing In him stronger than curiosity.
1t might be!
Braine proceeded to move the launch
in the direction of the girl 1t was
this movement that turned the report
er's gaze. He, too, now saw the wom-
an in the water and wondered how
she had come there. When Braine
reached the girl and pulled her into
the launch Jim saw her face plainly.
He flew from his vantage point,
found a skiff. and started after Braine.

He had a flask in his pocket, and
he forced some OF the biting spirits

her eyes,

Florence eyed him wildly, not quite
understanding where he had come
from.
81 don't know how you got here"
he said; ''and don't care. But here
we are together at last. Where Is

Braine laughed.
And Jim's boat ran afoul some rocks
and into the water he went. He had
not attracted Braine's attention, for
tunately. He began to swim toward
the drifting launch.

Florence, thoroughly weakened by
