very misleading because Of the condi-
tons which 1t fails to contemplate. It
is true that there are many road sur
fGces composed of earth or earthly ma
terial which do not become very muddy
under traffic, even during long rainy
seasons. and since such surfaces usu-
ally tend to harden very rapidly as
soon as the weather clears up, 1t may
be desirable to drag roads Of this kind
Immediately after a rain. Such roads,
however, would not ordinarily need to
be dragged after every rain, because
of the strong tendency that they nat
urally possess Of holding their shape.
On the other hand, many varieties of
clay and soil tend to become very
muddy under only light traffic after
very moderate rains, and, 1t is evident
that roads constructed of such ma
terials could not always be success
fully dragged Immediately after a rain.
Sometimes, in fact. it may be neces-
sary to wait until several consecutive
clear days have elapsed after a long
rainy spell before the road is sufficient
~ dried out to keep ruts from forming
almost as rapidly as they can be filled
by dragging.
Well-cOnstructed sand-clay topsOil
roads should not often become muddy
after they are once well compacted.
They may become seriously rutted.
however, under heavy traffic, during
rainy weather, and are almost sure to
need dragging several times each year.
Such roads should ordinarily be drag
ged as soon after a rain as prac-
ticable as otherwise the surface soon
becomes dry and hard, so that 1t Is
necessary to do considerably more
dragging In order to fill the ruts. Fur
thermore, the material which the drag
o will not compact readily unless
1t contains q considerable amount Of
moisture.
Gravel roads can be effectively main
tanned with a road drag only when the
gravel composing the surface is fine
grained and contains a considerable
quantity of clay earth. Gravel road
surfaces in which this condition pre-
walls not infrequently get badly out Of
shape during wet weather, and may
require considerably more
attention than well-constructed sand
clay topsoil roads. The time for drag
giDg gravel roads is unquestionably
they are wet. In fact, the best
are sometimes obtained by do
the dragging after the road has be-
come thoroughly soaked and while It
Is still raining.
In general, 1t may be said that the
best time to drag any type Of road is
when the material composing the sur.
lace contains sufficient moisture to
compact readily after II has been
moved by the drag and is not sufi-
wet for the traffic following the
lrag to produce mud.

CHAPTER XXX.
A Sunday Spectacle,

Trouble with the tribes was well
grown before 1t was recognized. Dis
affection was ripe, the bucks were
like wine. Few of the braves had
dreamed of ever possessing sums of
money such as they drew down each
Sunday morning. Richard began to
suspect liquor again. In the Indian
camp Sunday was n day Of feasting,
followed by n gorged sleep; the next
day n of languor. of growing inco-
hcsion.
Richard spoke of 1t to Coronel.
"lke small baby" hunched the old
shoulders. Happy baby. Pretty soon
stop"
With the next wages went a repri.
mand, then a warning. Still followed
bad Mondays. Richard then issued q
formal warning TO all the tribes.
'"The situation with the Indians Is
serious" said Richard to MacLean.
They're getting liquor In here, some
way, the Lord only knows how. Any
way. they're not fit for burning Mon
day morning. I've just sent them word
by Coronel that it's got to quit, or they
do"
Suppose they dor" MacLean was
startled. Not an Indian could be
spared at that stage of the game.
Bluff" Richard got up. They
won't take the chance of losing that
money. I'm off now to the Crossing.
I'll leave you In charge here"
The next morning Wooster broke In.
to the ramada where MacLean sat
clicking his typewriter.
"Everything's up. Richards done 1t
now. Sent some alfred. independent
kindergarten orders to the Indians.
Says they have to be In bed by ten
o'clock, or some such hour on Satur-
day and Sunday nights. It's a strike,
their answer. That's what his monkey.
ing mas brought down on u.s."
They're not going to quit?"
They've sent word they won't work
on Mondays, and they will go to bed
when they choose Saturday nights.

stand for that. Luck's been playing
into his hands. but this will show him

clerk. Tell Casey theren be no In

grily out of the Office.
Richard seemed pleased when Mac.
Lean made the announcement a few
hours later.
His secretary was weighing him.
"what do you intend to do about itr'
Gall their BLUM" grinned Casey,
showing teeth tobacco had not had a
chance to spoil. Boycott them"
MacLean found Wooster at the river
bank with Tom Hardin. The two men
were watching a pile-driver set a re-
pile. Two new trestles were
to supplement the one which had been
bent out of line by the weight of set
thing drift. Marshall's plan was being
followed, though jeered at by reclama-
ton men and the engineers of the d.
X. company.

To Innes that wreck down yonder
