PROGRESSIVE ARIZONA

Arizona has good roads boom. If
plans for which finances are now avail
able are carried out more than 1900
miles of roads will be built in Arizona
this year. About' the same number
of miles of road were improved dur
ing the past two years The longest
stretches were from Rodeo to Phoe-
nix (the Bankhead highway and the
Springerville-T -Topeck road (Old Trails
highway. the distances. being respec-
lively $40 miles and 460 miles.
Any state that builds good roads de-
serves praise and road building is al
ways profitable to all members Of a
commonwealth. Arizona's roads are
used by many people who are going
through to somewhere else and pay
out nothing for the privilege of using
them except the price of gasoline and
food. Arizona has less wealth than
many other states with which to build
roads. Their Construction means
more, of sacrifice, yet tourists say
that those that have been improved
in Arizona are asff good as can be
found on the continent.
Arizona's enterprise will not be in
vain. for people have come to know
that good roads are sign that good
people live along them.-El Paso

CHAPTER III.
Hilary Talks Business.

Hilary was smoking on the porch
the next morning, formulating his
plans, when he heard the bell on the
side of the telephone box begin to
ring dangerously. Then Monsieur
Tremblay came out and made it clear
to Hilary that he was wanted.
1t was Lafe Cornell calling.
"Say, Mr.. Askew," he said, '1'm
'phoning you from my boarding place.
They came back yesterday afternoon
the boat was late; maybe you didn't
know. They've been cross-questioning
me and Baptiste all the morning.
Brousseau's just left, and Morris has
ordered the storekeeper's rig to drive
over to you in an hours time
"Thanks, Connell," said Hilary. "T'm
much obliged. I'm coming over"
He reached the office just in time
to see Morris emerge toward buggy
which was drawn up before the door.
Morris looked plainly disconnected to
see him.
He was an older man than Hilary
had expected to meet. He seemed well
on the shady side Of fifty. He had
elusive gray eyes, a prominent but
ill-defined nose, and heavy, thready
mustache. 1t was a type Hilary knew
intimately: The crooked business 60
between.
"Mr. Morris, I think" he said, de-
scending and tieing the pony to the
hitching post in front Of the building.
Morris held out his hand, which Hill
airy took, with no great cordially. Il
came back last night and heard you
were here, Mr.. Askew," he said. Il
was just coming over to see you"
II heard you were here" said Hill
airy. II came to see you and talk
things over"
Morris, recognizing the situation. ac-
cepted it and turning back, pulled the
key out of his pocket and opened the
office door. Hilary sat down at the
desk nearest the window, from which
he could see the endless line Of logs
ascending the cogged chain that drew
them into the mill flume.
Morris took box Of cigars from his
desk drawer and offered it to Hilary,
who declined. Morris chose one and,
biting off the end, lit it. Hilary could
see that his hand trembled a little.
"Well, sir" he said, seating himself,
"this is the last place in the world
where / should have expected to see
you. I have just heard from Mr..
Lamartine that you intended to pay
visit to Quebec, but that letter was
written some days ago. You didn't
see him?"
Two days before Hilary would have
jumped at the bait, would have shown
his resentment of the lie, declared hos
tility, and given Morris his cue. Now
he only smiled pleasantly.
Eyes, I saw him." he answered. "He
tried to dissuade me from coming up
here, but I wanted to see the proper
ty."
eff you had let me know" said Nor
ris, II could have made arrangements.
You have come in the slackest month
The St. Charles herald. [volume] (Hahnville, La.) 1873-1993, 1920-02-28

HE says he's got to have Mr.. Nor
ris' ORDERS" said Baptiste.
LATE turned to Hilary, who took VI
the conversation. "Ask him if he
doesn't understand what I am here
for" he suggested.
Dupont was impregnable in his pc
sition. He had lumber from both con
cessions, and Mr.. Morris was in charge
of both. What orders had been left
with reference to his freight?
LATE was pleased and surprised at
the way Hilary took it. But Hilary
had learned a good deal during that
morning.
"That sounds reasonable" he said
"Give him Mr.. Morris orders Connell
whatever they are" And, when the
matter had been settled, he added
"You were dead right, Connell. We've
got to settle with the big fellows first. u
He dropped Lafe at the mill and
drove slowly homeward across the
bridge, thinking hard. There would
probably be no trouble with Leblanc
after he had shown that he was mas
ter. And Lafe would be a pillar of
strength. Hilary had instructive faith
in the slowspeaking Yankee.
81 must get little Baptiste on our
side, too" he said aloud, rs the buggy
topped the hill beyond the bridge; and
then he became aware of Madeleine
Rosny upon her horse, at the end of
the branch road, waiting for him to
pass.
Hilary felt uncertain and awkward.
Ought he to raise his hat to her? A
glance at her face showed him that
She was perfectly aware who he was.
1t showed him a firm chin, resOlutely
set, two angry blue eyes, and flushed
cheeks whose redness did not come
from hard riding.
He decided to bow. But before he
did so the buggy had passed, leaving
q path; and Mademoiselle Madeleine,
her face averted. started her horse
down the hill. Hilary jerked the reins
angrily, and the pony set off at gal
lop for Monsieur Tremblay's stables
But before the final descent was
reached Hilary was laughing. Some
how the girls hostility seemed to add
a zest to the game.
81 don't know that I'll be so very
diplomatic with Brousseau after all, y
said Hilary, as he drew rein at the
stable entrance.

| getting busy and putting out the tire?'
"Mr. LATE, there is many thing you
do not understand" said the cure, pat
| ting the Yankee on the shoulder be-
| nevolently. "Mr. LATE is fine fellow"
he added to Hilary, but he want to go
! too quick all the time"
1t was evident to Hilary that the
two were fast friends. Father Lucien
clucked to his pony, took off his hat
| with flourish, and resumed his jour-
ney.
"Father Lucy's a good Sort" NUT
tered Lafe, "but he makes me tired
sometimes. Slow as the devil, Mr..
Askew. And yet, now come to think
of it, he does get results in his own
time. He amt equal to cleaning up
Ste. Marie, though"
After pause he added: "Some-
times I've thought that Father Lucy
had something up his sleeve about Ste.
Marie after ALL"
An hours drive brought them within
sight of the village. Ste. Marie was
almost a replica of st. Boniface ex-
ternally, with the same shacks, clus-
company.
"Not much to see now" said Lafe.
''But on pay night it's fierce, Mr.. AS
kew. guess this place is real hell
"Rowdy, Connell, you mean?"
81 didn't mean that, Mr.. Askew. It's
that, God knows; but what meant by
he'll was a place where everybody's
a law to himself with nothing to re-
strain him. A place where everybody
does what he wants to do. That's my
idea of hell, sir"
The road wound along the shore.
Presently ST. Boniface came into
sight. Il think I'll go into the office,
Connell," said Hilary.
Il guess. you'll have to break it
open, then" said LATE. "Mr. Morris
took the keys with him."
"When's he coming back?"
1--WE were expecting him on the boat
this afternoon"
Hilary considered fer moment. 'I'll
'Hello, Monsieur Baptiste!"
The little scaler and timekeeper was
hurrying toward the buggy. "Mon-
sieur!" he gasped. Monsieur Askew,
yesterday / did not know who you
we're. Excuse!'
"That's all right, Baptiste," an
swered Hilary. "Just remember that
I'm running things here now, that's
all. And, by the way, that order about
trespassers and visitors is at an end.
There's going to be nothing done here
that We'll be afraid Of people finding
out. Got it?"
Jean-Marie Baptiste evidently had
got it, for he looked almost terrified.
He touched his hat and withdrew with
a sort Of shuffling bow.
"You certainly do have the knack of
putting things across, Mr.. Askew," said
LATE admiringly. II guess you're ready
to go back to the hotel. Wait. There's
old Dupont, the captain of the lumber
schooner. I guess you'll want to meet
him?"
Il suppose So" said Hilary.
Dupont came toward the rig, ac-
companied by the timekeeper. The
captain was a tall old man Of about
sixty years, with a gray beard, a
weather-beaten face, and pale gray
eyes that seemed to burn with some

consuming fire. His look, as he turned
1t on Hilary, was so searching, and sc
inscrutable, and so momentarily hos.
tile, that Hilary felt uncomfortable
There was history behind that pene-
trating stare-a history and hate.
But after a moments examination
Of Hilary's face film seemed to come
over the old mans eyes. Whatever
the reason for his strange gaze, Du-
pont was satisfied. He stood by LATE,
and Jean-Baptiste translated.
''The captain says the schooner's
full" he said. "He want to start for
Quebec on tonight's tide"
"Tell him to speak to Mr.. Askew
here" answered LATE. "Say that Mr..
Askew's in charge"
The timekeeper translated back into
the French. A smile f1ickered upon
Dupont's face. He shook his head and
answered
