ROAD

ISSUE WEATHER FORECASTS
Traffic During Winter Over Lin
coin Highway.

(Prerared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The weather bureau of the United
States department Of agriculture has
arranged, in cooperation with the
state highway commission of Pcnnsyl-
vania, to aid the automobile and mo-
tortruck traffic during the winter over
the Lincoln highway between Pitts
burgh and Harrisburg by giving out
daily information of the weather con-
ditions prevailing over the route and
issuing weather forecasts and warn
ings of heavy SHOWS and cold waves
for the region traversed. The plan Is
for the assistant superintendent Of
highways at points along the route to
report to the weather bureau Office at
Pittsburgh at eight o'clock each morn
ing by telephone or telegraph the depth
of snow or ice on the highway, giving
its general condition. These reports

DRAGGING is OF IMPORTANCE
Road Improvement May Well Be Con-
sidered Reconstruction Measure
Increases Farm Values.

Roads should not be neglected at this
time in our endeavOr to increase food
production. Road improvement might
we'll be deemed reconstruction meas
ure. In many communities they are
much better than In others because the
farmers are back of the good roads
movement. They realize that good
road saves labor, time, horse flesh and
automobile repairs and in addition in
creases the selling value Of the farm.
Every progressive farmer should
have road drag and not be afraid to
use 1t. A well-dragged road is we'll
crowned road, and well-drained road,
The dragging should follow each rain.
If properly used it will bring thin lay
er of earth toward the center of the
road at each dragging. The travel will
roll and solidify it between rains.
On roads where too much crown has
been formed the angle of the drag can
be reversed. A few draggiugs will re-
duce the high crown to a more level
and much safer road for fast automo'
bile traffic.

FOUNDATION OF FARM LIFE
Upon Good Roads Depends Marketing
of Various Crops and Better

Good roads are the very foundation
of country life. Upon them depends
the marketing of what farmers grow,
the pleasures of social life, and the
better schooling Of the children. If
life is made better by good roads, sure
ly they are worth paying for. There
is nothing so much worth while as
happiness. The interurban lines have

cerned with Merapi in playing
nurse to this son of his.
When Userti was told of it, she
said in the hearing of a friend of
mine:
Without a doubt that is because
he trains his bastard to fill the
throne of Egypt"
But, alas! all that the little Seti
was doomed to fill was a coffin.
1t was a still, hot evening, so hot
that Merapi had bid the nurse
bring the child's bed and set it be-
tween two pillars of the great por-
tico. There on the bed he slept,
lovely as Horus the divine. She
sat by his side in a chair that haO
feet shaped like to those of an
antelope. Seti walked up and down
the terrace beyond the portico
leaning on my shoulder, and talking
by snatches Of this or that. Occa-
sionally as he passed he would
stay for a while to make sure by
the bright moonlight that all was
well with Merapi and the child, as
Of late it had become a habit with
him to do. Then, without speak
ing, for fear lest he should awake
the boy, he would smile at Merapi,
who sat there brooding, her head
resting on her hand, and pass on.
The night was very still. The
palm leaves did not rustic, no jack
ais were stirring, and even the
shrill-voiced insects had ceased
their cries. Moreover, the great
city below was quiet as. home of
the dead. 1t was as though the
presage of some advancing doom
scared the world to silence. For
without doubt doom was in the air.
All felt it down to the nurse
woman, who covered close as she
dared to the chair of her mistress,
and even in that heat shivered
from time to time.
Presently little Seti awoke, and
began to prattle about something
he had dreamed.
What did you dream, my SOM"
asked his father.
Il dreamed" he answered in his
baby talk, that a woman, dressed
as mother was in the temple, took
me by the hand and led me into the
air. l looked down, and saw you
and mother with white faces and
crying. l began to cry, too, but
the woman with the feather cap
told me not, as she was taking me
to a beautiful big star where
mother would soon come to find
me-"
The Washington times., 1919-05-18

The Prince and l looked at each
other and Merapi feigned to busy
herself with hushing the child to
sleep again. 1t drew toward mid
night and still no one seemed mind
ed to 20 to rest. Old Bakenkhonsu
appeared and began to say some
thing about the night being very
strange and unrestful, when, sud-
denly, a little bat that was fitting
to and fro above US fell upon his
head and thence to the ground. We
looked at it, and saw that 1t was
dead.
Strange that the creature should
have died thus" said Bakenkhonsu,
when, behold! another fell to the
ground near by. The black kitten
which belonged to little Seti saw it
fall and darted from beside his bed
where 1t was sleeping. Before ever
il reached the bat the creature
wheeled round, stood upon its hind
legs. scratching at the air about it,
then uttered one pitiful cry and
fell over dead.
We stared at it, when suddenly
far away a dog howled in a very
piercing fashion. Then a cow be-
gan to bale as these beasts do when
they have lost their calves. Next,
quite close at hand but without the
gates, there arose the ear-curdling
cry of a woman in agony, which on
the instant seemed to be echoed
from every quarter, till the air was
full of wailing.
ooh, Seti! SETH" exclaimed Mer-
api, in a voice that was rather a
hiss than a whisper, look at your
SOM"
We sprang to where. the babe
lay and looked. He had awakened
and was staring upward with wide
opened eyes and frozen face. The
fear, if such it were, passed from
his features, though still he stared.
He rose to his little feet, always
looking upward. Then a smile
came upon his face, a most beauti-
full smile; he stretched out his
arms, as though to clasp one who
bent down toward him, and fell
backward-quite dead.
Seti stood still as a statue; we
The Washington times., 1919-05-18

all stood still, even Merapi. Then
she bent down and lifted the body
Of the boy.
Now, my lord" she said, there
has fallen on you that sorrow which
Jabez, my uncle, warned you would
come if ever you had aught to do
with me. Now the curse of Israel
has pierced my heart, and now our
child, as XII the evil prOphesied,
has grown too great for greetings,
or even for fareWells."
Thus she spoke in a cold and
quiet voice, as one might speak Of
something long expected or fore
seen, then made her reverence to
the Prince, and departed, bearing
the body of the child. Never, /
think, did Merapi Seem more beau
tiful to me than in this her hour
Of bereavement, since now through
her woman's loneliness shone out
some shadow of the soul within.
Indeed, such were her eyes and
such her movements that well
might 1t have been a spirit and not
a woman who departed from US
with that which had been her son.
Seti leaned on my shoulder, look
ing at the empty bed and at the
scared nurse who still sat behind,
and l felt a tear drop upon my
hand. Old Bakenkhonsu lifted his
massive face and looked at him.
"Grieve not over much, Prince"
he said. "since, ere as many years
as l have lived out have come and
gone, this child will be forgotten
and his mother will be forgotten,
and even you, o Prince, will live
but as a name that once was great
in Egypt. And then, o Prince,
elsewhere the game will begin
afresh, and what you have lost
shall be found anew, and the
sweeter for it's sheltering from the
vile breath Of men. KFs magic is
not all a lie, or If his is, mine holds
some shadow OF the truth, and

hair, one of them begged that also,
nor did she say her nay. But, as
it CHANGED, the Prince entered, and
seeing the woman with this royal
badge in her hand, grew very angry
and forced her to restore it.
What is the use of crowns with
out heads to wear them?" she
sneered, and fed away laughing,
With all that she had gathered.
After she had heard that saying
Merapi grew even sadder and more
distraught than she was before, and
from her the trouble crept to Seti.
He, too, became sad and i'll at ease,
though when l asked him why he
vowed he did not know. but sup

plague drew near.
yet" he added. "aS have made
shift to live through nine of them,
l do not know why l should fear
tenth"
Still he did fear it, so much that
he consulted Bakenkhonsu as to
whether there were any means by
which the anger of the gods could
be averted.
Bakenkhonsu laughed and said
he thought not, since always If the
gods were not angry about one
thing they were angry about an
other. Having made the world
they did nothing but quarrel with
it, or with other gods who had
hand in its fashioniRg, and Of these
quarrels men were the victims.
Bear your woes, Prince" he
added, eff any come, for ere the
Nile has risen another fifty times

"TheD you think that when. we go
west we die indeed, and that Osiris

Bakenkhonsu."
The old councillor shook his
great head, and answered:
"NO. If ever you should lose one
whom you greatly love, take COM
fort, Prince, for do not think that
life ends with death. Death is the
nurse that puts it to sleep, no more,
and in the morning it will wake
again to travel through another
day with those who have compan-

unused Bakenkhonsu, but when l
asked him what he meant, he would
not or could not tell me.
So the gloom deeponed and the
palace, which had been merry in
its way, became sad. None knew
what was coming, but all knew
that something was coming and
stretched out their hands to strive
to protect that which they loved
best from the stroke of the warning
gods. In the case of Seti and
Merapi this was their son, now a
beautiful little lad who could run
