Frederick understood not one word
of this language which he heard, yet
he knew-because he must know
something of the subject which these
persons were discussing.
The men had come far-one could
tell that, their looks proved it. They
had seen something strange, some
thing extraordinary had happened,
some event of interest or Importance
had occurred, else they would not have
come SO fast and SO far. This was
easy enough to reason out.
What was that event? What could
happen out of the ordinary on this
desert island, unless it were some
thing coming from beyond the narrow
horizon of that island-say, ship
wreck, or the landing on these shores
Of some survivor such as he himself
had been?
That would explain these hurried
messengers. But If that were true,
who or what was the survivor or ad-
venturer discovered in distant part
of this same land? Was it man or
men, was it a woman or women?
What was the meaning of these ex-
cited calculations, these gestures,
these contortions?

a most ludicrous activity amongst the
natives. In CONSERVATION they flung
themselves before him, clasped his

Skating, like all other outdoor
sports, happily finds its number of
devotees increasing from year to year.
The interest in the pastime for those
who skate and to those who are sim
ply onlookers increases in proportion
to the variety and fitness which is evil
denced in skating costumes. The skat-
ing field makes background for color
which the sport-loving have not failed
to appreciate, and the adoption of
beautiful colors for skating clothes
will make it as fascinating as the
dancing floor.

Head wraps, with muff to match,

with silk and usually tapers to point
which terminates in a tassel or ball

will serve to weight it little. The

The cost of a road is dependent up
on not only the type OF construction,
but the amount and character of grad
ing to be done, the cost of labor and
materials, the width and thickness of
surfacing, the character and amount
of drainage required, and other FAC
tors of equal variability. Based upon
general averages, it has been ascer-
tanned by highway specialists of the
United States department of agricul.
ture that under average conditions mac.
adam roads can be built in southern
states at from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile, gravel roads at from $500 to
$4,000 per mile, and sand-clay and top
soil roads at from $500 to $500 per
mile. In New England and the other
eastern states, macadam roads are re-
ported at from $4,000 to $4,000 per
mile, gravel roads at from $4,000 to
$4,000, and bituminous macadam from
$4,000 to $4,000, according to the
character of construction, whether sur

quite general in the eastern states.
