TO ORDER PAVING
NO DISSENTING VOICES WHEN
COMMISSION RECONSIDERS
EGAN AVE. PROJECT.

That Madison will not only get the
original amount of paving, on Egan
avenue, set out for, but that this city
will continue to keep well abreast Of
the times, in the matter Of street i'm
provements, at least, there was little
room for doubt in the minds of the
large number of citizens who last
night attended the get together"
meeting in the city council chamber.
While many of those present were
directly interested in the main item
that went before the commissioners,
the Egan avenue paving, some attend
ed with the avowed view of witness
ing the fireworks that were expect
ed to be kindled. But pandemonium
there was not. Apparently there was
not a person present who did not
have safely anchored an olive branch,
and if there was one present who con-
sidered a dirt road a suitable main
street for the city of Madison, he did
not .unduly flaunt his version.
Several Give Consent.
A new resolution to page Egan ave
nue. from Seventh street to Eleventh
street was drawn up and ordered re-
advertised by the commission, after
~. c. Schultz, J. V. Regain. DR.. w. A..
Rotschild, Joe Henkin and DR.. w. +.
Daniels had announced they would
withdraw their opposition to the
project. Mr.. Schultz, Mr.. Regan, DR..
Rothschild and Mr.. Henkin had been
opposed TO paving the north part of
ID ~. -, "a thfa 4fneA Hv hnn-
iels had signed the protest in behalf
Of the First Methodist church. All
five of the men intimated hat they
would like to see the paving laid just
as far as it would be possible to
take it.
So spontaneous was the better
city movement that the Egan avenue
paving question had not been dis
posed Of when a petition for paving
East Seventh street, from Egan ave
nue. to Washington venue was drawn
up and signed by a number OF men
who own property On East Seventh
street. 1t is the intention to formally
present the petition to the city com
mission next Monday night, and II is
thought probable that the three
blocks on East Seventh street will
be paved at the same time the im-
provement work is done on Egan ave
nue.. There was also expressed con
siderable sentiment favorable to paw
ing East Fifth street, from Egan ave
nue. to Lee avenue.
Two 20-foot Strips.
The resolution, providing for the
paving of upper Egan avenue is prac-
tically the same as the resolution de-
feated a week ago. except in the mat
ter of dates. 1t Is the intention to
pave a 20-foot driveway IN either
side of the street, with parking in
the center.
Between the Milwaukee railway
track and Seventh street, the side
walks will probably be widened TO
Is feet and the entire 40 feet of road
way paved. There was some discus
sion as to whether there should not
be a curbing in the center Of the
street, along which to run the street
lights.
The date fixed for hearing protests.

street, us April 81. Mayor Waskey
said that the city will bear the eX-
; pense of making improvements to the

Percy writhed from under the couch.

AL established new record in getting
out of his makeup, and faded from the
scene.
Percy gummed little of AIS grease

tramp outfit carelessly scattered around
the room. Then he issued forth. Every
body in the corridor began to clap as
soon as he showed himself.

proper, becoming speech in response.
He took Vinella in his arms and gave
her large, swell kiss, and she kissed
him back.
Percy's head came out from under
the couch and he saw the proceeding.

queer. And interesting-eh?"
He went out. David stood where he
was, looking about him in the blurred
light of the lamp over his head. He al
most expected lavish to creep out from
some dark corner; he half expected to
see him move from under the disheveled
blankets in the bunk at the far end of the
room.
1t was big room, twenty feet from
end to end, and almost as wide; and after
moment or two he knew that he was
the only living thing in it--except a
small gray mouse that came fearlessly
quite close to his feet. And then he saw
a second mouse, and third, and heard
scurrying of many tiny feet A paper
on the table rustled; a series of squeaks
came from the bunk; he felt something
that was like gentle touch on the toe
of his moccasin, and looked down. The
cabin was alive with mice. 1t was filed

about him without fear and, he thought,
expectantly.
He had not moved an inch when Father.
Roland came again into the cabin. He
pointed to the floor.
"The place is alive with them!" he
protested.
Father Roland appeared in great good
humor as he slipped off his mittens and
rubbed his hands over the stove.
"Tavish's pets, he chuckled. "He says
they're company. I've seen dozen of
them on his shoulders at one time. Queer
queer"
His hands made rasping sound as he
rubbed them. Suddenly he lifted a. lid

HE spoke swiftly, and filed the stove

the dunnage. The uneasy CLEAN was still
in his eyes. His gaze was shifting, and
restless with expectation. He came and

the death howl. BAH"
David could feel the others shudder in
hundred yards. With low word Mukoki
stopped the team. The dogs were whining
softly, staring straight ahead, when David
and the missioner joined the Cree.
Father Roland pointed to dark blot
in the night fifty PAGES beyond them. He
spoke to David:
"There is Tavish's cabin. Come; we
will see"
MUKOKI remained with the team.
They could hear the dogs whining as
they advanced. The cabin took shape
in their faces, grotesque, dark, lifeless.

"Tavish!' Tavish!" it called.
They stood close to the door, and heard
no answer. Father Roland stamped with
his foot, and scraped with his toe on the
ground.
"See, the snow has been cleaned away

He is superstitious. He made me, for an
instant-afraid."
There was vast relief in his voice.
The cabin door was unbolted, and he
flung it open confidently. 1t was pitch
dark inside, but a flood Of warm air
struck their faces. The missioner laughed.
"Tavish, are you asleep?" he called.
There was no answer. Father Roland
entered.
"He has been here recently. There is

He fumbled in his clothes and found
