up n Alan on the point Of ~re-enter-
ing the cab. And though they were
on again before Alan could close the
door, the attempt was hopeless from
the start.
And yet-whether or not because
Alan's distaste for interference had
been too convincingly demonstrated
the touring car for the time being
contented itself with trailing about
nifty feet in the rear, while the taxi
NED the tenement purlieus Of the Ho-
boken waterfront and found it's way
into the broader streets Of an unpre-
tentious suburban quarter.
Not until they were we'll into the
suburbs, with few dwellings near and
no pedestrians to interfere, did Mario
phat's purpose become apparent. Then,
hoWever-and it happened while Alan
was looking back-the touring car
drew in swiftly and easily and Mario
phst, rising in his seat, Ieveled a re-
volN er over the windshield and fired.
The crack Of his weapon was prac-
tically coincident with a metallic thud
beneath the ear seat of the taxicab.
Not for some moments did Alan ap-
preciate the viciousness of the scheme.
Surmising that the gasoline tank had
been punctured by the bullet, he was
iscllned to believe that Marrophat
hoped to stop the taxicab by depriv.
ing it, in course of time, of its fuel.
And with this in mind he was present
ly surprised, as the cab took a corner,
to see Marrophat's car stop at that
corner and Marrophat himself get
down. The brow of a hill interviewed,
shutting off sight of the BLACKBOARD as
he knelt and lit a match. 1t was the
girl who gave the alarm, suddenly
withdrawing her head from the win
dow to scream at Alan:
He's fired the gasoline! It's fam
ing along the street, following the line
of the leak-and catching up with us!"
Without pausing to put his hand to
the latch, Alan kicked the door open.
Jump" he cried. For your life
jump! AS soon as that flame catches
up with the tank"
simultaneously the chauffeur, over
hearing, shut off the power.
The three gained the sidewalk bare
ly in time: the tiny trail of flames, al
most imperceptible In the sunlight,
was not a yard from the Jet that squirt.
ed through the bullet hole In the tank.
In the flutter Of an eyelash the explo-
sion followed. Had the cab been load
ed with nitroglycerin its destruction
could have been no more absolute.
There was a roar and then
a heap of smoking ruins.
Without waiting to admire the spec
tacle, Alan caught the arm of the girl
and hurried her up the street, at the
same time calling TO the chauffeur to
follow. And chance brought them to
the next corner as another cab, fare.

told the girl in response to her eager
look. Worse luck!" he added
gloomily.
But it seemed that he was to have
greater cause than this to complain of
his luck, before that ride was ended.
Three blocks further on a tire blew
out with a report like a cannon-crack-
er, and the taxi iurched ~perilously.
h%esitated, slowed down, and limped
dejectedly to the curb.
Alan and the chauffeur piled out IN
the same instant, the II standing
guard-with an eye out as we'll for
another cab-while the other assessed
damages.

essarily retard future undertake
ings on their part, it would be
well for the members to interest
themselves in the matter at once.
This week witnessed the COM
pletion Of the Model Highway
which leads to the famous Avery
Island. Now that the road is
completed distance Of three
miles more or less is saved over
the old route and it is undoubted-
w one of the best dirt roads in the
State of Louisiana. This was in
deed an important project and the
Police jury deserves credit for
undertaking the work and carry
ing it to completion. Both
Messrs. VIM. Lourd, the road
supervisor and Mr.. Marlin Turner
who manipulated the ditching
machine also come in for
a great part of the credit. This
will intimately lead to other
goods roads being constructed
throughout the Parish of Iberia
as soon as the Police Jury gets
in financial condition to give these
matters their attention. Aside
from this, other roads have been
kept up to the highest standard
by this Police Jury. Without
good roads country life be-
comes a burden to the farmer
and they are entitled to the best
roads obtainable if we hope to see
lanad values hold their own. On
the other hand if the farmer cam
not come to town on good roads
the merchants Of New Iberia
stand but little chance to transact
business with them. We under
stand the Chamber Of Commerce
! have addressed a letter to the
Police Jury requesting them not
ITO dispose of the ditehing machine
which they consider the best in
vestment the Police Jury has
ever made. We hope they Will
reconsider the matter even tho"
they have no use for the machine
at the present. 1t would be far
better to lend the machine to dix
ferent land owners who care to
cut drains through their farms,
providing they give bond to take
care of it while it is in their use.
