Albany, n. Y, Dec. 2--Gov. whitman

1t is a regrettable affair, but it
now seems certain that the roads
movement and the bond issue
voted last April will be a flash in
the pan. There is not a man in
the county who voted for the
bonds last spring, but what would
gladly pay the increase in tax to
get the roads improved ordered
improved by the Court, but this
seems an impossibility. The peo-
pie are up in arms against paying
the road tax levied and hundreds
of them have openly said they
were not going to pay this tax,
because the powers in control
have so far failed to comply with
the advertised conditions upon
which votes were secured in the
election last spring when the
bonds were voted.
The Times is completely taken
aback upon this proposition, but
we confidently believe it best un.
der the circumstances. Nearly
four months time has elapsed
since the bonds were voted, and
the only substantial thing to be
seen is the increase of tax to pay.
The people who expected their
individual roads improved under
promise, have been convinced
that they can get this done more
satisfactory by taking their tax
money and putting it on their
road themselves through the form
of subscription. This they say
they will do and fight the issu-
ance of the bonds and payment
of the road tax levied, through
the Courts.
There is not a better good roads
advocate in Kentucky than the
writer, but we are convinced that
there is nothing in sight to relm-
burse the already burdened tax
payer in Powell county in the
way of roads for his increase of
tax on account of the road bonds,
so we shall line, ourselves up at
the. last moment with the masses
and say away with the bonds;
away with the tax, and we, the
people, will build our own roads
through the subscription route,
instead of the tax route, which
has been very Disappointing.

Because we published the reso-
lutions of the Teachers Institute
last week in which the consolida-
tion of schools in Powell county
was Endorsed, and because we
further this week publish in our
Stanton correspondence another
article recommending eonsolida-
ton, must not lead our readers to
believe that the editor of The
Times favors such action, for we
positively do not. We favor large

Likewise would we favor con.
sohdation of schools, If we had
good roads and money to haul the
children to school as is done in
every successful consolidated
school in other counties and
States. But, We haven't the
roads nor the money to do this,
consequently We oppose the i'm.
practical in Powell county. We
view it as a waste of time and
money when the effort is being
forced against the will of 80 per
cent. of the patrons of the
schools.
We have discussed this matter
quite enough in our paper, Better
Farms and Roads. The people
of the county are with us. They
are convinced that the circum.
stances existing are barrier to
the much desired consolidation,

tives of our County Board of Ed.

How much money would you
take to vote a way contrary to
your principle? Did yon say 500?
Possibly $1,000, or for no amount
of money. The man then that
fools you and gets you to vote
the way you would not vote had
you known the facts, is guilty of
robbery to the amount you value
your vote, and he should be held
so accountable by law.

licitinga continuance ofthe trade
they already have in Powell
county, and we wish to assure
them that we would far rather
trade with sober men than with
persons who too often get too
much toddy. And the fact that
it is no longer Wine-chester but
Winsome-chester, both in spirit
and practice, whether at home or
abroad, makes us feel doubly
kind toward them. They are a
bunch we don't mind hooking up

Our advice to Powell folks:-
When you must go from home to
buy something our merchants
neglect to keep, buy your ticket
no further than Winchester, the
town of morals and sobriety, all
of which is proved by the police

has gone dry, and they find it
necessary to go to the Kentucky
river to get sufficient water to
run their town.

The primary election will come
up Saturday. The Republicans
have a hot fight on for Judge of
Court of Appeals, and in Powell
county it seems that Judge
Gourlcy of our neigh boring coun-
ty of Lee, will carry the day and
that is the way it should be.
Besides being our neighbor,
Judge Gourley is not surpassed
by either of the other candidates
in qualification or fitness for the
office. Then all things being
equal, it is just that Judge Gour-
ley should get the almost entire
Republican vote of Powell coun-
ty.
The Democrats have only one
contest, and that is in the Con:
gressional race. Robt. E. Lee
Murphy is the temperance can,

came up under adverse circum-
stances, and is deserving.

thousand w1Jn interest was a small sum to such corporation. He had often wondered if they had searched for him. Ten years. In the midst of these cogitations he saw the group at the table rise and break up. Elsa en- tered the hotel. Warrington turned away and walked aimlessly toward town. For hours he wandered about, seeing nothing, hearing nothing; and it was long past midnight when he sought his room, restless and weary but wide awake. He called for stiff peg, drank it, and tumbled into bed. He was whirled away into broken dreams. He was in the Andes, toiling with his girders over unspeakable chasms. A shifting glance at the old billiard room in the club, the letter, and his subsequent wild night of in- toxication, the one time in his life when he had drunk hard and long, Back to the Indian deserts and jungles. And he heard the shriek of parrots.
 The shriek of parrots. He sat up. Even in his dream he recognized that cry. Night or day, Rajah always shrieked when someone entered the room. Warrington silently slid out of bed and dashed to the door which led to the gallery. A body thudded against his. He caught hold. The body was nude to the waist and smelled evilly of sweat and fish oil. Something whiplike struck him across the face. It was a queue.
 
 Warrington struck out, but missed. Instantly pair of powerful arms wound about him, bearing and bend. ing him backward. His right arm lay parallel with the invaders. chest He brought up the heel of his palm viciously against the Chinaman's chin. It was sufficient to break the hold Then followed a struggle that always remained nightmarish to Warrington. Hither and thither across the room miraculously avoiding chairs, tables and bed, they surged. He heard ring of steel upon the cement floor, and breathed easier 10 learn that the thief had dropped his knife. Warrington never thought to call out for help. The

old fear of bringing people about him had become a habit Once, in the whirl of things, his hand came into contact with belt which hung abou' the others middle. He caught at i, and heaved. It broke, and the subse- quent tinkling over the floor advised him of the fact that it was his own gold. The broken belt, however, brought the fight to an abrupt end. The oily body suddenly slipped away. Warrington beheld shadow in the doorway; it loomed there a second against the skyline, and vanished. He ran to the gallery railing, but it was too dark below to discern anything.
 He returned to his room, breathing hard, the obnoxious odor of sweat and fish oil in his nose. He turned on the lights and without waiting to in vestigate, went into the shower room and stood under the tepid deluge. Even after thorough rub-down the taint was in the air. The bird was muttering and turning somersaults.
 Thanks, Rajah, old sport! He'd have got me but for you. Let's see the damage"
 He picked up the belt. The paper money was intact, and what gold had fallen he could easily find. He then took up his vest and dropped it, stunned. The letter of credit for half his fortune was gone. He sank back upon the bed and stared miser- ably at the fallen garment. Gone! Fifty thousand dollars. Someone who knew! Presently he stood up and tugged at his beard. After all, why should he worry? A cable to Rangoon would stop payments. A new letter could be issued. It would take time, but he had plenty of that.
 Idly he reached for the broken cigar that lay at the foot of the bed. He would have tossed it aside as one of his own had not the carnelian band attracted his attention. He hadn't smoked that quality of tobacco in years. He turned it over and over and it grew more and more familiar Mallow's!
Williams news., 1916-05-04
CHAPTER XVI.
Who Is Paul EIlison7


 For some time Warrington sat upon the edge of the bed and studied the cigar, balanced it upon his palm, as if striving to weigh accurately Mallow's part in scrimmage like this. The copra grower assuredly would be the man. Mallow, rich, was Mallow dis posed of, at least logically; unless in deed it was a bit of anticipatory re- prisal. That might possibly be. A drunken Mallow was capable of much, for all that his knowledge of letters of credit might necessarily be primitive.
 Yet Mallow was no fool. He would scarcely take such a risk for so un- stable and chancely a thing as revenge of this order. Craig? He hadn't the courage. Strong and muscular as he was, he was the average type of gambler, courageous only when armed with a pack of cards, sitting opposite fool and his money. But Craig and Mallow together. He slipped of the label. It was worth preserv- ing.
 With an unpleasant laugh he began to get into his clothes. Why not? The more he thought of it, the more he was positive that the two had been be- bind this assault. The belt would have meant a good deal to Craig There were a thousand Chinese in Singapore who would cut mans

throat for Straits dollar. Either Mall low or Craig had seen him counting the money on shipboard.
 He looked at his watch; quarter after two. If they were not in their rooms he would have good grounds for his suspicious. He stole along the gal lery and down the stairs to the office, l just in time to see the two enter, much the worse for drink. Mallow was boisterous, and Craig was sullen. The former began to argue with the night manager, who politely shook his head Mallow grew insistent, but the night manager refused to break the rules Of the hotel. Warrington inferred that MalloW was demanding liquor, and his inference was correct. He moved a little closer, still hidden behind the potted palms.
 "All right" cried Mallow. Well go back to town for it''
 I've had enough" declared Craig sullenly. Let's cut out booze and play little hand or two"
 'F'ine!" Mallow slapped his thigh as he laughed. Nice bird I'd be for yOu IO pluCh. ulIh Ol SOm6LQ1QR else. The billiard hall is open"
 Craig shook his head. When Mallow was argumentative 1t was no time to play billiards.
 ''Bah!" snarled Mallow. Since you won't drink like a man nor play bill lizards, I'm for bed. And just as the fun was beginning!"
 Craic nudooJ him Mol low stalked away, and Craig, realizing that the night was done, followed.
 Warrington had seen and heard enough. He was tolerably sure. It might have been out of pure deviltry, so far as Mallow was concerned; but Craig had joined in hope of definite profits. A fine pair of rogues!
 He eyed indecisively the stairs and then glanced toward the brilliant night outside. It would not be possible to sleep in that room again. So he tip toed out to the cafe veranda and dropped into a comfortable chair. He would hunt them up some time during the day. He would ask Mallow for fifty pounds, and he sincerely hoped that Mallow would refuse him. For he was grimly resolved that Mallow should pay for those half-truths, more damning than bald lies. It was due to Mailow that he was never more to see or speak to Elsa. He emptied the ash from his cutty which he slowed away.
 The great heartache and the great CT disillusion would not have fallen to his lot had Elsa been frank in Ran goon, had she but told him that she was to sail on the same steamer. He would have put over his sailing. He would have gone his way, still believ- ing himself to be Bayard, a Galahad or any other of those simple dreamers who put honor and chivalry above and before all other things.
 Elsa! He covered.his face with his hands and remained in that position for long while, so long indeed that the coolies, whose business it was to scrub the filings every morning at four, went about their work quietly for fear of disturbing him.
 Elsa had retired almost immediate ly after dinner. She endeavored to finish some initial work on old en- broideries, but the needle insisted upon pausing and losing stitch after stitch. She went to bed and strove to sleep, but that sweet healer came not to her wooing. Nothing she did could overcome the realization of the shock she had received. It had left her dull and bewiidered

About lifting his belt! Easy as falling off a log. Leave it to me. His room is on the first gallery, facing southwest. You can chalk it up as re- venge. I'll take it on as a bit of good sport Wong will fix us out. Now look alive. It's after nine, and I'd like a little fun first"
 The two left the cafe veranda and engaged pair of rickshaws. As they logged down the road, Warrington stepped out from behind the palms and moodily watched them until the night swallowed them up. He had not overheard their interesting conversa- tion, nor had he known they were about until they came down the steps together. He ached to follow them. He was in fine mood for blows. That there were two of them did not trouble him. Of one thing he was assured: Somewhere in the dim past an ances- tor of his had died in Berserk rage.
 He had been watching Elsa. It dis turbed but did not mystify him to see her talking to the colonel. Table chance had brought them together, and perhaps to a better understand ing. How pale she was! From time to time he caught the flash of her eyes as she turned to this or that guest Once she smiled, but the smile did not tighten up her face. He was very wretched and miserable. She had taken him at his word, and he should have been glad. Re had seen her but once again on board, but she had looked away. It was best so. Yet, it was as if fate had reached down into his heart and snapped the strings which made life tuneful.
