ingly, never mind the DAILY story. I'll
cover 1t myself. / guess 1t was too
hard an assignment to begin with, and
you friend of the family and all. Let
it go. You stay at home this after
noon. Come back tomorrow and I'll

Il don't want to-" she cried, looking
back at the shadow, which seemed
somehow to have receded little. 81

I think I'll be the other kind of writer
not newspapers, you know, just plain
writing. I'm sure / shall like it better.
I wasn't cut out for this line, I know.

Run along" he said "I'll see you
later on. You go to bed. You're near

Dignity? Lark did not remember
that she had ever dreamed of dignity.
She just started for home, for her ia
Their, Aunt Grace and the girls The
shabby old parsonage seemed sudden
ly very bright, very sunny, very safe,
The dreadful dark shadow was not
pressing so close to her shoulders, did
not feel so smotheringly near.
A startled group sprang up from the
porch to greet her. She flung one arm
around Carols shoulder, and drew her
twin with her close to her aunt's side.
II don't want to be newspaper wom-
an" she cried, in a high excited voice.
81 don't like it. ! am awfully afraid
of-The Press" She looked over her
shoulder. The shadow was fading away
In the distance. II couldn't do it. L"
And then, crouching, with Carol, close
against her aunt's side, clutching one
of the soft hands in her own, she told
| the story.
81 couldn't, Fairy" SHE declared,
looking beseechingly into the strong
kind face of her sister. Ct couldn't.
Mrs. Daly-sobbed so, and her hands
were so brown and hard, Fairy, she
kept rubbing my shoulder, and saying
oh, Lark, oh, Lark my little children
I couldn't. I don't like newspapers,
Fairy. Really, don't"
Fairy looked greatly troubled. II

very quietly. "Mr. Raider meant all
right, of course, but it was wrong to
send young girl like you. Father is
there now. It's very terrible. You did
just exactly right, Larkie. Father will
say so. I guess maybe h's not the job
for a minister's girl. OF course, the
story will come out, but we're not the
ones to tell it.v
"But-the career" suggested Carol.
"Why," said Lark, "I'll wait little
and then have real career, you know,
stories, and books. and poems, the kind
that don't harrow peoples feelings. /
really don't think it is right. Don't you
remember Prudence says the parson-
age is place to hide sorrows, not to
hang them on the clothesline for every
one to see.p She looked for last time
over her shoulder. Dimly she saw a
small dark cloud-all that was left Of
the shadow which had seemed SO eager
to devour her. Her arms clasped Carol
with renewed intensity.
"Oh," she breathed, "oh, isn't the
parsonage lovely, Carol? wish father
would come. You all look so sweet,
and kind, and-oh, I love to be at
home"

TEN of roads their value will depre-
ciate under ordinary circumstances
faster than new roads can be con-
structed. 1t is therefore essential that
after road is once built, great care
should be taken in It's upkeep. There
is no question that the cost of proper
maintenance is many times saved in
the increased economic value of the
highway traffic.
Maintenance may be divided into
two general classes: First, the upkeep
of roads which have been constructed
along standard line with minimum
grades, proper drainage and surfac-
ing material; second the conditioning
of roads that have had little, if any,
constructive attention.
Highways coming under the first
class are not so liable to be neglected
by those entrusted with their care,
and while their maintenance problem
is very important and necessary one,
this class of roads represents only
lesser portion. The greater percent
aye VI TOduS III lilc SLdlS are uOI ILL
proved. Inasmuch as this class of
roads serve the majority of the people
and this kind Of road will always pre-
dominate, it is very necessary that at
tention be directed to proper ways and
means Of their maintenance.
Each year more or less construction
work is being done and the mileage Of
improved roads increased, and while
this work is going ON the unimproved
roads should be kept in as good condi-
ton as possible at minimum cost.
The best results can only be OBJ
tanned by the enthusiasm and local
pride of the man who uses the road.
He Is the fellow most interested, and
small amount of intelligent atten-
ton by himself and his neighbors will
show great results on their particular
section Of the road.
This rule applied throughout the
length and breadth Of any state would
mean a system Of earth roads that
could be pointed to with pride.

Helmet styles have not changed in

ancient knights and those employed by
the soldiers Of America and Europe.
