The wedding was set for the first
week in June. And the decision, in
stantly acquiesced in by everybody,
was that it was to be as quiet as
strictly a family affair-as possible.
Indeed. the notion of even simple
into the Aldrich family left
Portia rather aghast.
But this feeling was largely allayed
by Frederica's first call. Being cele-
brated beauty and a person of great
social consequence, didn't, it appeared,

city ordinance, she felt that it mus
have been one of the most fascinai
ing occupations in the world, III
til he told her how it had drawn hin
into politics, and then how after al
election a new states attorney had of
fered him a position on his staff o
assistants.
In a sense, of course, it was tru,
that he had, as Frederick would have
put it, forgotten she was there.
The girl knew he had forgotten, ant
her only discomfort came from the
fear that the spell might be broken
and he might remember suddenly and
stop.
In the deeper sense-and she was
breathlessly conscious of this, too
he hadn't forgotten she was there.
He was telling it all because she was
there--because she was herself and
nobody else. She knew-though how,
she couldn't have explained-with
that intuitive certainty which is the
only real certainty there is, that the
story couldn't have been evoked from
him in just that way by anyone else
in the world.
At the end of two years in the
states attorneys office, he told her,
he figured he had his training and was
ready to begin.

Rose stopped brushing her hair and
demanded to be told why not. She
had been getting on all right up to
now, hadn't she?

OILED HIGHWAYS PAY
Better on Sand Than on Clay or Loan
SoiIs-Oi Sometimes More Sat-
isfactory Than Water.

Oiled earth roads should not be re-
garded as a permanent improvement
but are much better than common
earth roads, in the opinion of w. S.
Gearhart, professor of highway engi-
neering.
'Oiled roads do not require so much
dragging as ordinary earth roads,"
said Professor Gearhart. "They shed
water better and do not become so
dusty. Although oiled roads are not
so satisfactory as gravel roads, they
may be a help in developing good
roads sentiment"
The best results from oiling are to
be obtained by applying the oil when

1t was with q curiously relaxed
body, her chin Graded In the crook Of
her arm, which lay along the back
of the couch, her eyes unfocused on
the window, that the girl listened with
more and more poignantly vivid con-
seriousness of the man himself, the
driving power Of him, of something
carelessly exultant In bis own strength.

The proportion of convicts employed
on public works instead of on lease or

80 to sc per cent and the proportion
on road work alone from 1.3 to nearly
IS per cent, according to a report by
the federal public roads Office based
