The SpectacIed Roadman's Adventure. R F you are hemmed in on all sides
 in patch of land there is only
 one chance of escape--you must
 stay in the patch and let your enemies search it and not find you. That was good sense, but how on earth was to escape notice in that table cloth of place?
 I would have buried myself to the neck in mud and lain below water or climbed the taIlest tree. But there was not a stick of wood, the bog holes were little puddles, the stream was a slender trickIe. There was nothing but short heather and bare hill bent and the white highway.
 Then in a tiny blight of road beside heap of stones found the roadman-
 He had just arrived and was wearily hinging down his hammer. He stared at me with hshy eyes, yawning.
 .'Confoond the day ever left the herdin'!'' he said as if to the world at large There I was my ain maister Now, I'm a slave to the government tethered to the roadside, wi sair cen and a back like a suckle.''
 He took up the hammer, struck a stone, dropped the implement with an oath and put both hands to his ears. Mercy on me! My heid's burstin'r' he cried
 He was wild figure, about my own size, but much bent, with a weeks beard on his chin and pair of big horn spectacles.
 "I canna dae't," he cried again. '-The surveyor maun just report me. I'm for my bed"
 I asked him what was the trouble, Ll.<. al<.
 '"The trouble is that I'm no sober. Last nicht my dochter, Merran, was waddit, and they danced till flower in the byre. Me and some ither chiefs sat down to the drinkin'-and here I am. Peety that ever loolzit on the wine when it was red!'
 I agreed with him about bed.
 "It's easy speakin'." he moaned- 'tBut I get a postcaird yestereen say in that the new road surveyor would be round the day. He'll come, and he'll no find me. or else he'll find me fou, and either way I'm a done man. I'll ava back to my bed and say I'm no weel, but I doot that'n no help me- for they ken my kind O no weelness.
 Then I had an inspiration. "Does the new surveyor know youT' asked
 s'No him. He's just been week at the job. He rins about in a wee motor car and wad speir the inside oot O whelk."
 "where's your houseT' I asked, and was directed by wavering finger to the cottage by the stream.
 @eWell, back to your bed," said, "and sleep in peace. I'll take on your lob for bit and see the surveyor" He stared at me blankly; then, as the notion dawned on his fuddled brain. his face broke into the vacant drunkard's smile.
 'rYou're the billyr' he cried. ''It'll 1 be easy eneuch managed I've finish 1 ed that ping O -stanes, so you needen chap ony mair this forenoon. Just 1 take the barry and wheel eneuch metal frae yon quarry doom the road to make anither ping the morn.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

While examining submarine on
which there had been fatal ex-
plosion, Thomas A. Edison. replying
10 questions from fellow members of
the national board of defense. is re-
ported to have made this statement:
ITO my mind there is no reason why
an under-sea boat should not be
equipped with a hshgill-like appar-
atus, so that il can draw its supply
of air directly from the water. Thus
the lives of the crew will not be de-
pendent upon the compressed air
supply or on the ability # the boat
TO reach the surface. When this
investigation is perfected submarine
navigation will be perfectly safe and
secretive." Those who witness the
chapters of The Secret of The Sub

liable TO appear at any minute and
make the boat a tomb. This new
