MAKING STATE ROADS SAFER
Purchase of Parcels of Land at High. way Intersections of Interest to
 All Travellers.

A bill authorizing the purchase of parcels of land at highway intersec- tions, now on the house calendar. is of interest to ali travellers on the state roads. Any reasonable plans for i'm proving the corners Is likely to have general approval. Real estate in the country towns, outside the villages, is inexpensive. The cost of eliminating right-angle turns should not be exces- sive. and the gain in safety will be appreciable. Many serious accidents have occurred at these abrupt turns, particularly where the dangerous con- ditions were not revealed by lights At such points the best remedy is in the gelocation of the highway lines. and it may be said that immunity from dan ger is worth more than the price of few square feet of unoccupied farm land.-Providence Journal.
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-10-29

means of intercommunication. It is free and open to all of the people. It is of benefit to one class more than another only to the extent one class uses 1t more than another.
 Many sections of the country are op- posing road improvement, just like the cattle barons of the unstaked western plains-the llana estacado-not many years ago opposed the coming of the homesteaGer and the railroad. One definition of "mossback" is that he is a foe to progress. Opponents of good roads are mossbacks of this char acter. They are pumping their heads on the van of progress solely because they lack understanding of the value of good roads to their own commun- ities.
 Too much cannot be said in favor of improved roads. They are worth all they cost. The argument is all one way. Why drive through mud and water with a four-horse team empty over bad road when two-horse will haul as much as 12 bales of cotton. for example, more rapidly and surely over a good road?
 A little thought along these lines must convince anyone that these United States need good roads about as bad as anything.-New York Con- mercial.

She contrised to Pass the Window.

was no gambling and drinking. Time hung very heavily on the hands of some twOScOre outlaws. Duane. how ever, found the hours anything but empty. He spent more time at Mrs. Bland's; he walked miles on all the trails leading out of the valley; he had care for the conditions of his two horses.
 Upon his return from the latest of these tramps Euchre suggested that they go down to the river to the boat landing
 Nearly all the outlaws in camp were assembled on the river-bank, lolling in the shade of the cottonwoods. The heat was oppressive.
 Duane and Euchre joined the lazy group and sat down with them. Euchre lighted black pipe, and, drawing his hat over his eyes, lay back in comfort after the manner of the majority of the outlaws. But Duane was alert, observing, thought full He never missed anything. It was his belief that any moment au idle word might be of benefit to him. More over. these rough men were always in teresting.
 "Bland's been chased acrost the river" said one.
 "Naw, he's deliverin' cattle to thet Cuban ship" replied another.
 Big deal on. heyT"
 "Some big. Rugg says the boss he'd an order fer fifteen thousandsr
 "Say, that order Il take a year to fu."

 Duane could not possibly attend to l all the conversation among the out laws. He endeavored to get the drift | If talk nearest to him. Kid Fuller's goin' to cash" said a sandy-whiskered little outlaw.
 "So Jim was telling me. Blood poison. ain't it? Thet hole wasn't bad. But he took the fever," rejoined a cOfurNOe-
 -Deger says the Kid might pull I through if he had nursin'." "wal. Kate Bland ain't nursin' any shot-up boys these days She hasn't got time-'
 A laugh followed this sally; then anne a penetrating silence. Some of the outlaws glanced got d-nafdredly at Duane. They bore him no i'll will. Manifestly they were aware of Mrs. Bland's infatuation.
 Boys, poke all the fun you Ike at me, but don't mention any lady's name again. My hand is nervous and Itchy these days" He smiled as he spoke, and his speech was drawled; but the good humer In no wise weakened 1t. Then

 "'But you're in love with himr
 "'Yes. she said; an. Buck. if you only could have seen her! She throw ed up her head, an her eyes were full of fire. Bland seemed dazed at sight of her. An Alloway, why. thet little skunk of an outlaw cried right out. He was hit plumb center. He's in love with Jen. An the look of her then was enough to make any feller quit.

deference. That was his strong point, and 1t had made his part easy so far.
 He was playing a game of love playing with life and death, What little communication he had with Jen- nie was through Euchre, who carried short messages. But he caught glimpses of her every time he went to the Bland house. She contrived somehow to pass door or window, to give him look when chance afforded. Duane discovered with surprise that these moments were more thrilling to him than any with Mrs. Bland. Jennie had been instructed by Euchre to listen, to understand that this was Duane's only chance to help keep her mind from constant worry, to gather the import of every word which had a double meaning. And all through those waiting days he knew that Jen- nie's face. and especially the warm, fleeting glance she gave him, was re- sponsible for a subtle and gradual change in him. This change. he fancied. was only that through remem- brance of her he got rid of his paie, sickening ghosts.
 One day a careless Mexican threw lighted cigarette up into the brush mating that served as a ceiling for Benson's den, and there was a fire which left little more than the adobe walls standing. The result was that while repairs were being made there

VALUE OF IMPROVED ROADS
Used Than Any Other Means of intercommunication.

It has been stated, and correctly so, that only 10 per cent of the public roads in the United States are i'm proved; in many Mates, only . per cent have been made good. Therefore, with from 90 to 95 per cent of our highways mere trails across country. Americans are living in land Of mud or dust, according to the season.
 Rarely are poor roads easily travel able; improved roads. If improved ac- cOrdlng to modern methods, are al- ways travelable in the most indictment weather, barring blizzard and snow drifts. The force of this observation may be the more readily understood when 1t is stated that the public road Is more generally used than any other

CHAPTER VIII.

What a contrast, Duane thought. the calm evening of that day presented to the state of his soull This third fac ing of a desperate man had thrown him of his balance. It had not been fatal, but 1t threatened so much. Despair had seized upon him and was driving him into a reckless mood when he thought of Jennie.
 He had forgotten her. He had for gotten that he had promised to save her. He had forgotten that he meant to snuff out as many lives as might stand between her and freedom. The very remembrance sheered of his difference. How strange for him to realize that, He felt grateful to her, He had been forced into outlawry; she had been stolen from her people and carried into captivity. They had met in the river fastness, he to instill hope into her despairing life. she to be the means. perhaps. of keeping him from sinking to the level of her captors. He became conscious of a strong and beat ing desire to see her, talk with Ter.
 These thoughts had run through his mind while on his way to Mrs. Bland's house. He had let Euchre go on ahead because he wanted more time to com pose himself Darkness had about set in when he reached his destination. There was no light in the house. Mrs. Bland was waiting for him on the porch.
 She embraced him. and the sudden, violent. unfamiliar contact sent such 6 shock through him that he all but forgot the deep game he was playing. She. however. in her agitation did not notice his shrinking. From her en- bracs and the tender. 'ncoherent words

grab fer her. He choked her till thought she was strangled- Alloway made him stop. She Topped down on the bed an gasped fer a while.
 Then he went in an dragged poor Jen out. An when I seen Bland twist her-hurt her-I had a queer hot feel in deep down in me. an fer the only time in my life wished was a gun fighter.
 Wal, Jen was whiter n a sheet, an her eyes were big and stary, but she had nerve. Fust time ever seen her show any.
