MANY ROAD DOLLARS

State Highway Commissioner, Clin-
ton Cowen, says that $9,500,OOO is
the sum now appropriated or in pro-
cess of collection for road building in
Ohio To this should be added the
$1,25O,00O given by Congress to Ohio
to improve Ohio highways.
War hysteria should not Interrupt
road construction This money if ac-
cumulated and idle in the public
treasury, will cause war enthusiasts
to ask that these dollars be transfer
red to the war chest and used for mil
itary and army salaries Every pub
lie official who has to do with con-
struction and maintenance of Ohio
roads should be on guard and insist
that this big sum of money be spent
for the purposes for which it was
collected from the tax payer.

slight jar to the couch on which the
body had been laid, a bulky envelope
fell out of the dead mans pocket.
MacBeard stopped hastily and was
about TO transfer it to his own when
Donald interviewed.
Excuse me, but is that not adj
dressed to me?' he asked. My name
is Paget-Lieutenant Paget."
He was sure that he had seen his
name upon the envelope, and it oc-
Cured to him that this must be the
document about which Masterman had
spoken. Donald felt greatly touched
to think that Captain Masterman had
had him in his crazy mind, even be-
fore their accidental meeting, out Of
all his acquaintance.
MacBeard had placed his hand over
the envelope, as if to hide the adj
dress; but, seeing that 1t. was impos-
sible TO deny DOnald's assertion, he re-
piled:
Il suppose that you are the man
you claim to be, and can prove it? A
good many persons are anxious to
profit by Captain Masterman's discov-
cries"
The insolent challenge, and the
sneering tone awakened Donald's an
ger. He grasped the professor by the
wrist which held the letter

the gymnasium work starting as soon
as possible and the military drill start
ing upon the arrival Of Mai. George
W. Martin, United States army, re-
tired, who has been detailed as in
structor in military science at the Uni
versity of Kansas
The faculty adopted a set of resoIu-
tions providing for the establishment
of compulsory physical work. The pro-
visions of the resolution are first. that
every student shall engage in such
physical exercise as he may wish and
the university medical authorities
may recommend.
Second, each student shall have an
opportunity to engage in sports.
Third, intercollegiate and intra-
mural sports shall be maintained, but
not at the sacrifice of health and vigor
of entire student body.
Fourth, all officials of the univer-
sity will assist medical authorities in
carrying out hygienic work
Fifth, military drill will be provided
for each student as may be assigned
to it by the department of physical
education.
Another important resolution was
introduced and referred to a special
committee. This resolution provided
for the change in the university from
the 2-semester and summer term sys-
tenn in use now to a system of four
quarter terms during the year. Such
system would be similar to that be-
ing used in larger universities at the
present time. 1t would enable more
students to attend the university for
q shorter time and make conditions
easier for the man who is working his
way through school

arrangements for the removal of the
body. Then he went TO the clerks

He held the envelope in his hand
still, and he was about to place it in
his pocket when his glance fell upon
sentence of the manuscript within.
Donald drew it forth and read:

Life was extinct, and the doctor
who was hastily summoned could only
confirm what all perceived. He gave
1T as his opinion that heart disease
was the cause of death, and stated
that there would be no need of an
inquest.
"Was he excited just before his seiz-

MISTAKEN FOR GRAND DUKE

Replied Russian Army Leader, in
Reply to Salvation.

An amusing story is going the rounds
in PetrOgrad just now concerning Gen.
eraI BrusilOff, who can be very direct
and brusQue in his manner when he
chooses.
The army leader happened to be in
the capital on business-this was be
fore the revolution-and was mistaken
by an officer passing for a certain
grand duke Of VIGOROUSLY pro- German
sympathy.
Coming smartly to the salute, the
officer, who probably, judging from his
manner, had some petition for pre-
ferment to present, led OFF with the re-
mark:
Pardon me, sire. but believe am
addressing the Grand Duke So-and-
so?"
"God Forbid" replied General Brus-
iloff, st am an honest man."
And saluting gravely in his turn he
passed on.

"I?" exclaimed Donald. Good Lord,
AIasterman, you can't suppose that L
am able to stake my professional ca
reer upon the retailing of such a
story! Even supposing it true, the
thing won't happen in our time. Why
should a world epoch terminate in
this particular generation and another
begin?"
Masterman Ieaped out of his chair
and stood beside the lieutenant. He
twined his fingers convulsively in his
long beard, and there was a look of
fanaticiSm upon his face.
Because it has already terminated

He broke off and stared at the door
leading into the passage from which
they had entered the cardroom. A
man was standing there. He was per
haps fifty years of age, short, rather
chubby, his round face covered with
n sparse, prickly growth of hair His
figure was rotund, and like many
short, round men with sparse boards
he had an appearance of pOmpOuS dig

Somehow Donald imagined that he

prompted by curiosity so uncOntroI

shame or fear of discovery.
