trees Is great aid in keeping the
pavement in prime condition. The au-'
thorities tell US that during the hot.
days Of summer improved roadbeds are
Injured by the direct rays Of the sun
and that the partial shade OF trees
planted by the roadside enables the
cement or other pavements to stand
much longer unimpaired. Roadside
trees will far more than pay for them,
selves by assisting in preserving good
roads. Then there is the beauty OF
shade trees, and If fruit trees are
planted think of the abundance OF
peach, plum, pear, cherry, apple and
other fruit trees growing by the road
side Which in the aggregate would
amount to millions of dollars II gen.
orally planted through the fruit grow

State highway departments are vi

and tests now being made by the bu-
reau Of public roads Of the United
States department of agriculture. One
state engineer recently declared that
millions Of dollars In his state are ip-

surfaces, which make up one Of the
problems being Investigated by the
federal engineers.
The coming into general use Of the
heavy motor truck has practically rev.

loads weighing 10 to Is tons took the
place of vehicles that placed weight

One of the testing experiments be-
Ing made by the federal bureau In

In the Arlington farm, owned by the

given to each section, so that even

porated q railroad company for the
purpose Of building railroad. The
only thing that can possibly interfere
with, the project will be the declina-
tion of the city council to grant us
franchise to run ou: line through the
city to tidewater. And I am glad to
have your assurance that the city
council will not drop cold chiSel IN
the cogs of the wheels Of progress"
Mr.. Poundstone had given no such
assurance, but for some reason he did
not feel equal to the task Of contra
dieting this pleasant fellow. Ogilvy
continued: "At the proper time we
shall apply for the franchise. 1t will
then be time enough to discuss 1t. In
the meantime the N. c. o. plans pub
lie dedicatory ceremony at the first
breaking of ground. and I would be
greatly honored, Mr.. Mayor, II you
would consent to turn the first shovel
full Of earth and deliver the address OF
welcome upon that occasion"
The mayor swelled like Thanksgiv-
ing turkey. "The honor will be mine"
ne corrected his visitor.
"Thank yon so much. sir. Well, that's
another worry off my mind" With the
tact of a Prime minister Buck then
spoke of the magic effect the building

city of at least a hundred thousand
inhabitants; he rhapsodlzed over the
progressive sp it of the community
and with q wave of his hand studded
the waters of Humboldt bay with the
maSts of the worlds shipping. Sud-
denly he checked himself, glanced at
his watch. npOlogized for consuming so
much of His Honor'S valuable time, eX-
pressed himself felicitated at knowing
the Mayor, gracefully expressed his ap-
probation for the encouragement given
his enterprise and departed.
Half an hour later the Mayors tele-
phone-bell rang Buck Ogilvy was on
the line. Il beg your pardon for both

deprecatingly, "but the fact is, condi-
tion has just arisen which neceSSitates
the immediate employment of an attor-

one and almost any lawyer would do,
but in view of the fact that we must,

CHAPTER XIIi.-Continued.

The visitor was accordingly admit
ted to the great mans presence and
favored with an official handshake OF
great heartiness. "I've been hoping TO
have this pleasure for quite some time,
Poundstone," Buck announced easily
as he disposed of his hat and overcoat
on an adjacent chair. Bucks aiert
blue eyes opened wide in sympathy
with his genial mouth, to deluge Mayor
Poundstone with q smile that was
friendly, guileless, confidential and sim
gularly delightful. Mr.. Ogilvy was
man possessed of tremendous personal
magnetism when he chose to exert It.
and that smile was ever the opening
gun Of his magnetic bombardment, for
1t was a smile that always had the
effect of making the observer desire
TO behold 1t again-of disarming sus-
picion and establishing confidence.
"Glad you did-mighty glad" the
mayor cried heartily. 81 have read your
articles of incorporation, Mr.. Ogilvy.
You will recall that they were pub
yished in the Sequoia Sentinel. 1t
strikes me-"
"Then you know exactly what we
purpose doing, and any further expla-
nation would be superfuous," Buck
interrupted amiably, glad to dispose OF
the matter so promptly. Again he ia
vored the mayor with his bright smile.
and the latter, now fully convinced
that here was young man of vast en-
prise whom it behooved him to receive
In a whole-hearted and public-spirited
manner. nodded vigorous approval.
~Well, that being the case, MIR. Ogil-
W." he continued, what can we Sc
auoians do to make you happy?
"Why, to begin with, Mr.. Poundstone,
you might accept my solemn assur-
ances that despite the skepticism
which for some unknown reason ap-
pears to shroud our enterprise in the
minds of some people, we have incor-

meant that Mayor Poundstone had
agreed to deliver the franchise-for
a consideration. Ogilvy had called
first on the mayor to arrange the de-
tails; then he had called on the
mayors son to complete the transac-
ton.
90 If a franchise had been ar
ranged for and the bribe already de-
livered, that meant the prompt and
unad1ertised commencement Of oper-
ations. Yes, the N. G. o. was going
to carry its monumental bluff to the
point Of building a mile of track
through town. No-no, they
wouldn't spend that much money on a
bluff; they wouldn't bribe Poundstone
unless the road was meant. AndSwas
It a common carrier, after all? = N
The trail was growing hot; the
Colonel mopped his brow and. concen-
trated further. II the N. G. o. was
rally going to start operations, In or
d6z to move Its material 5nQm the

lions It would have to cut his (the
Coloneps) tracks somewhere on Water
street. Damnation! That was 1t.
They were trying to slip one over on
him. They were planning to get a
jump-crossire in before he should
awake to the situation; they were
planning, too, to have the city coun.
ell slip through the franchise when
nobody was looking, and once the
crossing should be in, they could laugh
at Colonel Pennington!
"The scoundrels!" he murmured.
"Tm on to them! Cardigan is play
ing the game with them. That's why
he bought those rails from the old
Laurel Creek spur! Oh, what
blithering idiot / have been! How
ever it's not too late yet. Pound
stone is coming over to dinner Thurs
day night, and I'll wiring the swine
dry before he leaves the house. And
as for those rails Cardigan managed
TO hornswoggle me out Of"
He seized the telephone and fairly
shouted to his exchange operator to
