that it is not a wise measure medically,
it is autocratic and revolutionary. Men

If used in moderation it is a good thing.

WIND HELPS ROAD BUILDERS
When Used in Construction Of High
ways In New Mexico Experiment
Is Successful.

A new method of using the wind in
sand-road construction has proved so
successful, that, after making a nine
mile experimental stretch in New Mex
leo, roadmakers in that state have
built 80 miles of similar highways.
First of all, the grass and weeds are
cleared from the right Of way, and
then a trench is made through the
sand to the clay bottom. The loose
sand is deposited in stacks ten feet
from either side of the cut, and the
rest Of the work is left to the desert
winds. During the spring and fall, the
winds sweep away all the sand and
widen the clay strip. Then the road is
graded and the work finished.

CHAPTER l-continued.

My presence seemed at once to put
her on her guard. The music of he
voice was suddenly hushed, as though
she had hurriedly, almost in terror,
thrown a robe of reticence about an
impulsive naturalness not to be dis
played before strangers. AS for the
storekeeper, he was evidently a ia
mi,iar acquaintance. He had known
her-he said after she was gone
since she was little girl.
While he spoke, my eyes had acct
dentally fallen on the coin still In his
hand, with which she had Just paid
him.
Why" said, "this is a Spanish
doubloonl"
'That's what it is" said the English
man laconically.
But doesn't it strike you as strange
that she should pay her bills with
Spanish doubloons?" / asked.
ut did at first" he answered; and
then, as if annoyed with himself, he
was attempting to retrieve an express
sion that carried an implication he evil
IDENTIFY didn't wish me to retain, he
added: "Of course, she doesn't always
pay in Spanish doubloons. I suppose
they have few old coins in the fam
fly and use them when they run out of
others"
1t was as lame an explanation as
well could be, and no one could doubt
that, whatever his reason for so doing,
he was lying.
"But haven't you trouble in dispos-
ing Of themT I inquired.
Gold is always gold" he answered
"and we don't see enough of 1t here to
be particular as to whose head is
stamped upon it, or what date. Be-
sides, as / said, it isn't as If got many
of them; and you can always dispose
of them as curiosities."
"Will you sell me this one?' asked.
Il see no harm in your having It," he
said. "but I'd just as soon you didn't
mention where you got it,
Certainly" 1 answered, Disgusting
my wonder at his secretiveness. "What
IS 1t worth?'
He named the sum of sixteen dol
lars and seventy-five cents. Having
paid him that amount I babe him
goodnight, glad to be alone with my
eager, glowing thoughts. These took
with me 10 hit OF coral beach, made
doubly white by the moon, rustled
over by giant palms, and whispered to
by the vast living jewel of the sea. 1
took out my strange doubloon and
flashed it in the moon.
But, brightly as it shone, it hardly
seemed as bright as it would have
seemed short while back; or, per-
maps, it were truer to say that in an
other, newer aspect it shone a hun
dred times more brightly. The adven-
ture to which it called me was no
longer single and simple as before, but
a gloriously confused goal Of cloudy
splendors, the burning core of which
suddenly raging out, and then lost
again y hrightness-were the eyes of

this unexpected incursion into the

events, but, instead, curiously in the
direct line of my purpose. Because
the eyes Of an unknown girl had thus
suddenly enthralled me, / was not,
therefore, to lose sight of that purpose.
On the contrary, they had suddenly
shone out on the pathway along which
had been blindly cropping. But for
the accident of being in the dirty little
store at so psychological moment,

and catching sight of that mysterious
doubloon as well as those mysterious
eyes, / should have set sail that very
night and given up John p. Tobias

night of wonders my eyes and heart
were not so dazed with that vision In
the cave that 1 did not wildly recall
one important detail of the strange
picture-those streams Of gold that
had suddenly poured out of the mouth

Without doubling the evidence of
my senses, / was forced to believe
that, by the oldest piece of luck, had
stumbled upon the hiding place of that
hoard Of doubloons, ON which my fair
unknown drew from time to time as
she would out of bank.
But who was she?-and where was
her home? There had seemed no sign
of habitation near the wild place
where had come upon her, though, Of
course, solitary house might easily
have escaped my notice hidden among
all that foliage, particularly at night
fall.
To be sure, I had but to inquire Of
the storekeeper to learn all wanted;
but ! was averse from betraying my
interest to him or to anyone in the
settlement-for, after all, it was my
own affair, and hers. So determined

There is no doubt about 1t, the coun-

come an economic necessity that our
roads be improved because good roads
influence every branch and twig Of the

Good roads decrease the cost of liv-
