GOOD ROADS
PIXIES PEAK HIGHWAY OPEN
Alignment Definitely Completed From Atlantic to PaciHc--Last Link
 Has Been Forged.

The Pike's peak ocean to ocean high- way has definitely completed an inde- pendent alignment from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, says the New York Tribune. The last link in the chain was forged at San Francisco on July 30, when the national officers, in con ference with representatives of various California routes, selected the Feath- er-River Sacramento Causeway routes and established the Pacific coast termi- nus at Oakland and San Francisco.
 With terminal on the Atlantic sea board both at New York city and Phil adelphia, the first prong passes through Newark and Morristown, N. L. Easton and Allentown, Pa., joining with the Philadelphia prong at Reading, Pa., thence continuing westward along the William Penn highway through Harris burg, Tyrone, Altoona. to Pittsburgh i; crossing Ohio through SteubenviIle, Coshocton, Newark, Columbus, Spring field and Dayton; Indiana through Richmond, Indianapolis, Rockville; Iili- nols through Decatur, Springfield, Jacksonville, Griggsville; Missouri through Hannibal, Macon, Chillicothe, St. Joseph; Kansas through Hlawatha, Belleyllle. Norton, Colby. Goodland {: Colorado through Burlington, Limon. Colorado Springs, Manitou, Hartsel, Buena Vista, Leadville, Glenwood Springs, Rifle, Meeker; Utah through Vernal, Duchesne, Heber City, Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Brigham, Lueln; Nevada via the Overland trail through Elko, Winnemucca, Lovelocir. Demo, and California through PortoIa, Quincy, Oroville, Marysvllle, Sacrament to, Davis, Benicla, Martinez, Berkeley. Oakland and San Francisco.
 The completion of the western exten- sion of the highway followed an official inspection of the trip made by Presi- dent c. F. Adams, in accordance with the decision of the midsummer meet ing held on top of Plke's peak, July 10-11, following n sociability tour from Chillicothe and St. Joseph. The re- ports made on the inspection trip fndi- cate that less than 10 per cent of the 1,600 miles between Colorado Springs and San Francisco is in poor condition. The road follows streams, is through

 'Men," 1 began, gripping the rail and speaking swiftly. "my name is Hollis, and I held command in the old Atlas line. The owner of this vessel and cargo--Mr. Philip Bascom-has just done me the honor of appointing me as captain for the remainder of the voy- age"
 The fellows remained silent, except for the restless shuffllng of their feet on the deck
 And what Is the vige to be, mister7' suddenly asked hoarse voice back in the group.

We Accept Adventure.
 AS emerged from behind the butt of the mizzenmast, the only person vis- Bie was a long-legged cabin boy in- dustriously rubbing away at a grease spot on the deck. He was not aware o9 my presence until I spoke, when Ae ga2ed up at me across his shoulder. with seeming little intelligence in his 6alI eyes.
 %Do you know which of these state rooms the lady was glvenY'
 ~Oh, yes, sir; over there; just took her in a needle an some thread"
 ~An right-what is your name?"
 "JOe-Joe Moon, sir"
 crossed over and rapped at the stateroom door, which had figure "5'' stenciled on the upper panel.
 "WhO is there?'' she asked.
 This is Hollis; could you spare me a few mOments?'
 ~Certainly; will come out directly,'' She laughed. tI have been doing some emergency mending."
 picked out chair and sat down. A moment later the door of No. 5 opened. and the girl greeted me pleas antly, crossing the cabin swiftly, and extending her hand, as I arose to my feet.
 'T feel actually born anew, MT. Hel- lis" she exclaimed. "I am almost afraid was losing my nerve in that little boat. Where is this steamer boundY'
 ''That is what called upon you 10 discuss. Sit down here, and I will give you the whole story. The captain and both mates are dead; the fellow on deck in charge when we came on board was the chief engineer. The owner of boat and cargo, however, is here; have just been talking with him in the cabin wonder. He is in poor health and crippled in one limb."
 What is his name?"
 @Foolishly forgot to ask, and Mas serS-that is the name of the engi- aeer-neglected to mention it when he introduced us. However, that makes no difference in the facts. I'll tell you he story, as briefly as can"
 She listened intently, leaning for ward in her chair, her ringless hands eSasped. her eyes on my face. The

inhabited territory with less desert or desolate country to cross than any oth- CT transcontinental route, and trav- erses some of the most wonderful sce- nic sections of the United States. Vls- its were made at each town en route, to create new enthusiasm for the route, confer regarding highway development and arrange for more complete mark ing system. The average running time was 19 miles per hour.
 An emphatic campaign is now being conducted to complete the marking of the Pike's Peak trail from coast to coast. The national specifications re- Quire red and white bands, each 10 inches in width, at crossroads, forks, and frequent intervals between, these to be painted on telephone poles, fence posts, trees or rocks. In addition, a striking marker design in red and white has been adopted, and 1,500 enameled steel signs, 14 by 20 inches in size, arc to be placed on individual posts at in- tervals of not more than five miles be- tween New York and San Francisco.

 The die was cast. However the strange adventure might eventually end, whatever peril lurked ahead of us it was now too late for regret. The | full responsibility I had assumed all most overwhelmed me as I first emerged upon deck, but there came to me also a spirit of recklessness, which brought laugh to my lips and a shrug to my shoulders. Why should I care It was her choice, not mine. A moment fingered at the port rail, staring out into the smother os the coming dusk, wondering how it would all end, before l climbed the ladder to the poop deck,
 The negro was at the wheel, while Masters stood aft gazing astern. He was not aware of my presence until spoke sharply.
 "Mr. Masters"
 Aye, aye, sir"
 "I have agreed to take command of the vessel for the remainder of the voy- age," I said quietly, "and would have word with the crew."
 ''The remainder of the voyage, sir2''
 "Yes; the vessel has suffered no se- rious damage, and there are surely seamen on board to serve as watch off cers."
 "The bosun is good man, sir"
 What is his nameT
 "Leayord.'
 "Very well have the men piped aft" ;" "All hands, sir?"
 Certainly, MT. Masters. They have had rest enough, I imagine, the past few days. Now they are in for spell of work"
 was not altogether pleased with the engineers manner, a vague suspi- cion coming into my mind that he also rather preferred return to Baltimore, and that the crew might desire the same decision. As I went forward to the rail I noticed that both Vera and Bascom had come up as far as the head of the companion, and now stood there in. the shadow, where they could both see and hear. McCann, however, did not appear, and was probably asleep below, or still doctoring his dis colored optic. l had just a moment to observe these things before the men began to appear aft the mainmast, and form in a straggly line across the deck. They were indeed rough-looking lot, even for freighter's crew, plainly showing the effects of prolonged de- bauches ashore, with several among them still manifestly under the influ- ence of liquor. The re-establishment of sea discipline on board was evi- dently to be my first task, and my teeth clenched tightly as my eyes swept their faces.
 Come farther aft, men" I ordered sternly. "Bosun. bring them closer In, where they can hear what I say-ay that's more like It." I stared down into the upturned
