CHAPTER XIV.

Henri Graillot had made himself
thoroughly comfortable. He was IN
scOnced in the largest of Johns easy
chairs, his pipe In his mouth, a recent
ly refilled teacup-Graillot was English
in nothing except his prediction for
tea-on the small table by his side.
Through a little cloud Of tobacco
smoke he was studying his host.

remarked, taking pensive note of
Johns fashionable clothes. ut is a
transformation, beyond a doubt! Is it,
l wonder, upon the surface only, or
have you indeed become heart and soul
a son Of this corrupt city?"
"Whatever I may have become"
John grumbled, ITS meant three
months Of the hardest work I've ever
done!"
Graillot held out his pipe In front of
him and blew away a dense cloud Of
smoke.
Explain yourself" he insisted.
John stood on the hearth-rug, with
his hands in his pockets. His morning
clothes were exceedingly we'll cut, his
tie and collar unexceptionable. his hair
closely cropped according to the fash
ion Of the moment. He had an ex-
tremely civilized air.

seemed never to meet the earth, she
glided toward the corner where John
was standing. He caught the smOlder-

He could have sworn that her lips had
called his name. He felt himself be-

to throw out his arms In response to
her passionate, unspoken invitation, in
obedience to the clamOring of his seeth-
ing senses. He had forgotten, even,

She frightened her clasp upon her

GAMER BY IMPROVED ROADS
Careful Analysis Shows Greatest
Gain Over Present Conditions 10
Man on Branch Road.

The development Of sentiment
for issuing bonds to build permanent
roads has brought to the surface many
questions which require careful con
sideratiOn and demand clearly stated
and convincing replies. OF these, the
n recurring most frequently Is:
"What advantage Is there In a bond is
sue for the farmer who lives several
miles from n of the improved
roads?"
At first glance 1t would seem that
the man living directly upon the i'm
proved road obtains the greatest bene-
fits, but careful analysis proves that
the greatest gain over present condi-
tons is the man on the side road.
With the limited road and bridge
funds usually available in any town
ship and the necessity of keeping the
main highways at least in passable
condition, little or nothing is left for
working upon the less Travelled roads.
AS repair expense practically ceases
when permanent roads are built, the
road and bridge funds formerly spent
on main roads will be released for use
upon the side roads.
In addition, money spent upon these
side roads will 60 five times as far,

Louise leaned back in her chair. She
had been carried off her feet, brought
face to face with emotions which she
dared not analyze. Perhaps, after all
her self-dissectiOn, there were still Sc

with fear of what they might contain.
Her sense of superiority was vanish

"That is quite impossible" John said
firmly. "YOu see," he went on, look

Springing restlessly to her feet, she
walked across the room and back
again. Action Of some sort seemed i'm

seemed to be dulling all her powers
of resistance. She looked into her life

CHAPTER XIII.

SOphy Gerard sat in the little bach
room of LOuise's house, which the lat
ter called her den, but which she sci
dom entered. The little actress was
looking very trim and neat In q simple
blue serge costume which fitted her tC
perfection, her hair very primly ar,
ranged and tied up with q bow. She
had a pen in her mouth, there was q
sheaf of bills before her, and an Open
housekeeping book lay on her knee
She had been busy for the last half
hour making calculations. the result
of which had brought a frOwn to her
face.
"There Is n 10 doubt about it," she de-
cided. Louise is extravagant"
The door opened, and Louise herself,
in II gray morning gown of some soft
material, with a bunch of deep-red
roses at her waist, looked into the
room.
"Why, little girl" she exclaimed,
"hOw long have you been here?"
"All the morning." SOphy replied. 81

Louise threw herself into an easy
chair.

I had been so CAREFUL"
"How you talk about being care
ful?" Sophy protested, tapping the
pile Of bills with her forefinger. "YOu
seem to be overdrawn already"
II will see to that" Louise promised.
"The bank manager is such a charm
ing person. Besides, what are banks
for but TO Oblige their clients? How
pale you look, little girl! Were you
out late last night?"
Sophy swung around in her place.
Il am all right. l spent the evening

Louise glanced at the clock upon the

ROAD"
BUILDING
ROYAL LINE IN A DEMOCRACY
"Roads Rule the Werid-Net kIngs o.
cenorsssss, Not Courts, Nor Con.

In an argument for good roads some
wise man, whose name has been lost.
made use Of the following: "Roads

crosses, nor courts, nor c%Onstables.
not ships nor soldiers. The road IL
the only royal line In a democracy, the
only legislature that new changes,
the only court that never sleeps. the
only army that never quits, the first
aid to the redemption Of any nation,
the exodus from stagnation in any o
ciety, the call from savagery In any
tribe, the high priest of prosperity,
after the order of Melchisedec, with
out beginning of days or end of life.
The road is umpire In every war, and
when the new map Is made, 1t simply

peace"
The value of good roads may be
better understood when 1t Is known
that the average cost to farmers Of
the United States to transport produce
to market Is more than % cents per
ton per mile. These figures do not In
clude the cost Of breakage Of harness
or vehicles. The cost per ton per
mile over hard-surfaced roads Is less
than half the present average.

and she was terrified. Everything had
grown insignificant. It couldn't really
be possible that with her brains. her
experience, this man who had dwelt all
his life In the simple ways had yet the
power to show her the path toward the
greater things! She felt like a child
again. She trembled q little as she
sat down by his side. 1t was not In
this fashion that she had intended to
hear what he had to say.
II don't know what Is the matter
with me today" she murmured dis
tractedly. II think I must send you
away. You disturb my thoughts. I
can't see life clearly. Don't hope for
too much from me-" she begged. "But
don't 60 away" she added, with a sud-
den irresistible impulse of anxiety.
"Oh, I wish-I wish you understood ME
and everything about me, without my
having to say q word"
II feel what you are" he answered.
land that is sufficient"
Once more she rose to her feet and
walked acros to the window. An au.
tomobile had stopped In the street be-
low. She looked down upon 1t with
a sudden frozen feeling of apprehen-
sion.
John moved to her side, and for him.
too, the Joy of those few moments was
clouded. A little SILVER Of PRESENT.
ment took It's place. He recognized the
fOOtman whom he saw standing upon
the pavement.
1T is the prince Of Seyre," Louise
faltered.
"Send him away" John begged.
1--WE haven't finished yet. l won't say
anything more to upset you. What l
want now Is some practical guidance"
II cannot send him away!"
John glanced toward her and hated
himself for his fierce jealousy. She
was looking very white and very pa
thetic. The light had gone from her
eyes. He felt suddenly dominant, and.
with that feeling, there came all the
generosity of the conquerOr.
"Good-by" he said. perhaps l can
see you sometime tomorrow.
He raised her hand to his lips and
kissed her fingers, one by one. Then
he left the room. She listened to his
footsteps descending the stairs, firm,
resOlute, deliberate. They paused,
there was the sound of notes.-the
prince and he were exchanging greet
lngs; then she heard other footsteps
ascending, lighter, smoother, yet just
as deliberate.
Her face grew paler as she listened.
There was something which sounded
to her almost like the beating of fate
in the slow, inevitable approach Of
this unseen visitor.

II am sorryl" he said. And yet I
am not" he added, drawing his chair
close up to her side. II am glad! You
knew that I loved you, Louise. You
knew that 1t was for you l had come"
She was beginning to collect herself.
| Her brain was at work again; but she
was conscious Of a new confusion In
her senses, a new element In her life.
She was no longer sure of herself.
Listen" she begged earnestly. BE
reasonable! How could l marry you?
Do you think that l could live with
you up there in the hills?"
1--WE will live" he promised, "any-
where you choose in the world"
"Ah, no" she continued, putting his
hand. "YOu know what your life Is,
the things you want in life. You don't
know mine yet. There is my work.
You cannot think how wonderful 1t is
to me. You don't know the things that
fill my brain from day to day, the
thoughts that direct my life. l cannot
marry you just because-because--"
Because what?" he interrupted ca
gerly.
Because you make me feel-some-
thing l don't understand, because you
cOme and you turn the world, for a few
minutes, t~opsy-turvy. But that Is all
~foolishness, isn't it? Life isn't built up
of emotions. What I want you to I'M
derstand, and what you please must
understand, Is that at present our
lives are so far, so very far, apart. l
do not feel l could be happy leading
yours, and you do not understand
mine."
II have come to find out about
yours" John explained. "That Is why
l am here. Perhaps l ought to have
waited a little time before l spoke to
you as l did just now. But l will serve
apprenticeship. l will try to get
into sympathy with the things that
please you. 1t will not take me long.
AS soon as you feel that we are draw.
