MAINTENANCE BIG THING

There is no phase Of the road prob
lem more important that that Of main
teriance.' = The general impression
that there are certain types Of roads
that are permanent is erroneous. No
permanent road has ever been con-
structed or ever will be. The only
things about a road that may be con-
sidered permanent are the grading,
culverts and bridges. Roads con-
structed by the most skillful engineers
will soon be destroyed by the traffic,
frost, rain and wind unless they are
properly maintained. But the life of
these roads may be prolonged by sys-
tematic maintenance. A poor road
will not only be improved by proper
maintenance but may become better in
time than good road without it.
'-a The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface well drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept
open, all distractions removed and a
smooth crown maintained. ,>
All vegetable matter such as sods
and weeds should be kept out of the
ROAD as they make a spongy surface
which retains moisture. Clods are al
so Objectionable for they soon turn to
dust or mud and for that reason roads
should never be worked when dry or
hard. t

 At the gloomy threshold of Mrs. Lamar Stanley's house the London lawyer received further confirmation of his personal belief that Blair Stanley would never outgrow the sanguinary propensities of his child hood.
 In the bitter mood that now obsessed her Blairs mother informed the startled lawyer that her son, now next in line for the proud Stanley earldom, had fled. no one knew whither, and she hoped to never see his face again. All she would say in reply to the barrister's nervous pleadings-for he dreaded a long search for the heirs of Stan ley in barbarous America-was that Blair might be found at the home of Mrs. Burton Randolph. his cousin. in Richmond. And for that place the lawyer took the first train from Fairfax.
 Buoyed by the hope that renewed asso- citation with her gypsy tribe might tend to restore Hagar to reason, Esther departed that night with Hagar from Stanley Hall. She was accompanied by Quabba now her faithful attendant. and the sullenly insist

 Hagar recognized the gypsies gypsies. but she called on the names of those long departed, including the name of her dead husband, Matt Harding, whom she evil dently deemed alive and threatening her. For when she spoke his name it was in grim revolt and with bitter maIedictions

Quabba reused and drew his knife, and the menacing figure of Luke Lowell slunL back from the accusative moonlight into the shadows and was seen more.
 That night at this same hour Arthur Stanley, a fugitive and a wanderer a stranger in strange land, by his smoIder- ing camp fire in a far western desert, dreamed wild dream that reused him with shriek. He the fear struck face of

 Alarmed and weeping. Esther led the moaning woman she deemed to be her mother up the broad steps and into the wide hallway of Stanley Hall
 Here a fierce. wild change came over FaGar. She sprang to the door of the H. brary and threw it open. See he Is in herer' she cried. They have him in there the child they stole and sold from me.

 Vivian sank her head upon Blair's breast beneath the wistaria bough. She tempted him with languorous glance and alluring lips. Get and give me the diamond and I will be yoursi' she whispered. And Blair. much as he had lOnged for the baleful jewel himself, now Ionged more for this woman.

 But the luxurious and vivacious Vivian was a practical person. She did not depend upon the romantic. if desperate, efforts of lover to alone secure for her the star of her desire. She consulted the businesslike and equally eager brothers Bloom. To the gape- mouthed Abraham and Isaac she confided

 At this juncture a carriage drove up to Stanley Hall. From this a strange figure a1ighted the figure of tall. lanlS. serious, side whis1ered Eng1ishman wearing plaid suit with a heavy mourning band the arm and a glistening white tropic helmet. This strange individual had a rife in the carriage.
 At the sight of Quabba's chattering mon- key the lank Englishman grew wildly cited Some of their native wild beasts!" he exclaimed. and rushed back to the riage for the rife.

 And then it Esther's painful task to tell the strange caller of the accusations against the young he sought. of his wild flight and disappearance.

 But such was his fierce passion for the luxurious and beautiful Vivian Marston that Blair walked in the shadow of death for her sake.
 For herself, Vivian Marston had fingered in Richmond leading existence that was puritanical and galling to her in the vapid restraints. she deemed them, of conven- tiOnal southern social restrictions.
