with an effort: "What does he say?"
"Two things are wanted by the
true man-danger and play. Therefore

gerous of toys"
women are dangerous only when
you think of them as toys. When a
man finds that woman can reason
do anything but feel-he regards her
as a menace. But the reasoning wom-
an Is really less dangerous than the
other sort"
This was more like the real thing.
To talk careful distractions like this,
with beneath each abstraction it's con-
cealed personal application, to talk Of

ROADS
BUILDING OF ROAD CULvERTs
If Not Constructed of Good Material
They Will Have to Be Rebuilt in
Very Few Years.

II the culverts are not built of good
material they will have to be rebuilt
in a few years, whatever the quality
of the roads they are made to serve.
Defective culverts vitiate one of the
elementary principles of highway eco
nomics, and the interests of the tax
payers require that the annual cost of
every part of the roads built for their
use be reduced to the lowest possible
figure consistent with efficiency. Man
ifestly. it would be worse than folly
to build culverts of boards to take
care of roads that have cost hundreds
or thousands of dollars the mile and
1t would be none the less foolish. or
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1917-03-15

worse, to waste money in work of
this sort with the use of bad material.
In building a culvert the road
builder must observe three funda-
mental requirements:
1. The first requirement is that the
culvert must be so placed that it will
drain across the road, and under the
road, of course, all the water that is
delivered to it by the side ditch along
the road. If this be not done, the
earth along the road and about the
end of the culvert will be wet and
soggy the most OF the year and the
culVert opening will require almost
constant repairs. Repairing a high
way culvert is relatively more ex-
pensive than similar work in a town
because of the waste of time of the
workmen in going to and from the
point at which the work must be done.
In placing the culvert care must also
be taken that it will not be choked
by brush and leaves, and this duty
must be discharged by the road super
visor, and will be, if he is worth his
salt.
2. The second and very important
requirement in the building of a cul-
vert is that it's ends must be protected
by some kind of wall or facing car
ried down to a firm foundation. If
this be done, it will be found that the
end of the culvert will not be under
cut by the water and will not be
broken, frost will not injure it, the
surrounding or superintendent earth
will not slide down into the ditch in
front of the opening, and, with the
further necessary work of keeping the
feeding bitches clear, the culvert will
be able to take care of all the water
alongside the road.
3. The third requirement is that the
culvert must be made so strong that
it will not become broken and so tight
that it will not leak. These ends can
be reached by building the culvert of
masonry, concrete or of good piping.
The material to be used must be de-
termined by the relative cost of the
several materials at the locality
where the culvert is to be built and
by the distance from the top of the
culvert to the surface of the road.

Miss Gregg is coming"
With an impassive face, the girl
turned away. The workers of the op-
Grating room surged between them.
But he was clever with the guile of
the pursuing male. Eyes of all on him,
he turned at the door of the wardrobe
room and spoke to her over the heads
of a dozen nurses.
"That patients address that / had
forgotten, Miss Harrison, is the cor
ner of the Park and Ellington avenue"
THANK you"
She played the game well, was quite
calm. He admired her GOODNESS. Ger
tainly she was pretty, and certainly,
too, she was interested in him. He
went whistling into the wardrobe
room. AS he turned he caught the in
terne's eye, and there passed between
them Glance of cOmDIpta cOmnrphpn-
sion. The inferno grinned.
The room was not empty. His broth
er was there, listening to the comments
of O'Hara, his friendly rival.
"Good work, boyn" said O'Hara, and
clapped a hairy hand on his shoulder.
"That last case was a wonder. I'm
proud of you, and your brother here
is indecently exalted. 1t was the Ed
wardes method, wasn't it? I saw it
done at his clinic in New York"
"Glad you liked it. Yes Edwardes
was pal of mine in Berlin. A great
surgeon, too, poor old chap"
"There aren't three men in the coun-
try with the nerve and the hand for it."
O'Hara went out, glowing with his
own magnanimity. Doctor Ed stood by
and waited while his brother got into
his clothes. He was rather silent.
There were many times when he
wished that their mother could have
lived to see how he had carried out
his promise to make a man of Max"
Sometimes he wondered what she

ties-that was his game. Wilson be-
came content, interested again. The girl
was Undetermined. She challenged
his philosophy and gave him chance
to defend it. With the conviction, as
their meal went on, that LIE Moyne
and his companion must surely have
gone, she gained ease.
1t was only by wild driving that she
got back to the hospital by ten o'clock.
Wilson left her at the corner, well
content with himself. AS he drove up
the Street he glanced across at the
Page house. Sidney was there on the
doorstep. talking to a tall man who
stood below and looked up at her.
Wilson settled his tie, in the darkness.
Sidney was a mighty pretty girl. The
June night was in his blood. He was
sorry he had not kissed Carlotta good
night. He rather thought, now he
looked back, she had expected it.
AS he got out of his car at the curb,
a young man who had been standing in
the shadow of the treebox moved
quickly away.
Wilson smiled after him in the dark,

"That you, Joe?" he called.
But the boy went on.

Sidney entered the hospital as pro
bationer early in August. Christine

Sidney sat alone and viewed heI
world from this new and pleasant
angle. She could see the garden and
the whitewashed fence with its morn
ing glories, and at the same time, BY
turning her head, view the Wilson
house across the Street. She looked
mostly at the Wilson house.
K. LIE Moyne was upstairs in his
room. She could hear him tramping
up and down, and catch, occasionally
the bitter-sweet odor of his old brief
pipe.

made her eyes shine like stars. She
saw only the magnolia tree shaped like
a heart, the terrace edged with low
shrubbery, and beyond the faint CLEAN
that was the river. The unshaded glare
of the lights behind her in the house
was eclipSed by the crescent edge of
the rising moon. Dinner was over. Sid
ney was experiencing the rare treat
of after-dinner coffee.
LIE Moyne, grave and contained, sat
across from her. To give so much
pleasure, and so easilyl How young
she was, and radiant No wonder the
boy was mad about her. She fairly
held out her arms to life.
All, that was too bad! Another
table was being brought; they were not
to be alone. But what reused in him
violent resentment only appealed to
Sidney's curiosity.
Carlotta Harrison came out alone.
Although the tapping of her heels was
dulled by the grass, although she had
exchanged her cap for the black hat,
Sidney knew her at once. A sort of
thrill ran over her. 1t was the pretty
nurse from Doctor Wilson's office. Was
it possible-hut of course not! The
book of rules stated explicitly that such
things were forbidden.
Don't turn around" she said swift

the edge of the table, with her eyes
closed. That gave her quick brain a
chance. 1t was madness, June mad

in her dreams. This man was older,
much older. She looked again.
She had not been mistaken. Here.

gone out of the evening for her, but
she forced a lightness she did not feel:

Surely you do not want to dine in

"Do you mind?"
''Your wish is my law-tonight." he
said softly.

pointment to him. The spontaneity had

fixed on the oilcloth-covered passage
