LARGER CAPACITY. OF ROADS
Must Be Doubled to Meet Auamentin0
Requirements Of Transportation
Next Year.

We are confronted with the problem
Of increasing the, capacity Of our
highways. This must be doubled to
meet the augmenting requirements Of
the next year or two, Engineers are
wondering along what line this In
crease shall be provided. One sugges-
ton Is to double the width Of the
roads and increase first cost and main
tenance 100 per cent. The most reason
able one is to provide road Of sufh-
cient strength to carry vehicles OF
100 per cent. greater capacity for q
given width of road, az the first cost
Of these strengthened roads would be
only 10 to 20 per cent greater per
mile than that Of present inadequate
highways, says writer in an ex-
change. In view Of the fact that 50
per cent increase In hauling capacity
gives reduction Of Is per cent In
transportation costs, the latter seems
the wisest thing to do.

Mr.. Sidney is an American, semi

sirous to live. Mrs. Sidney is

cent. Jed, the butler, acts like
privileged member of the family.
Hartley house is a fine old Isolated

terry. The i"haunted pool is where
Richard Dobson, son of a former

ALL BOW TO SUPERSTITION
At Least, Few of the Fair Sex Have
Not a Firm Belief In Marriage
Charms.

In the great Cave of the Winds, IN
Colorado, place visited each year
by scores of tourists, In one corner
the visitor is always impressed by s
curious thing that looks like mat
tress and that turns out, on closer
acquaintance, to be an immense pie
of hairpins, combs, barettes and hair
ornaments.
1t seems that there is superstition
afoot that every widow ana unmarried
woman who leaves hairpin or mar
ornament there will be married within
the year and, though most OF the
women who visit the cave laugh at the
story and look very incredulous, not q
few surreptitiously shake out an In
visible or two before leaving, lust
for luck"
Nor is this the only mute testimony
to the ever-feminine credullty ana De-
lief in marriage charms. At Ramona's
Wedding Place, also out west Is
we'll. the bottom Of which CLEANS
bright with countless pennies and 9TH
er coins, left there by passing visitors
who were told. that tossing a coin
down the we'll would bring them each
n husband within a year. So the pen
nies accumulated, and already there
is>a small fortune lying at the bottom
of Ramona's well.
Nor is this superstition OF travel
ers the only evidence in the case. one
has only to see the young girls (and
some of the old), waiting TO eaten
the brides bouquet at wedding III
order to he the next bride, to know
that they are all ready to test out any
husband getting charm. And one may
look in vain for the single girl brave
enough to take the last piece" of
cake or candy on the plate and thus
run the risk of becoming an odd
maid. d."-PEiladelphl Record.

! preached their majority, Henry was al
most an imbecile for fear Of Dick.
"Dick wanted then to get his tnheri-
tance and 60 out into the world. but
the estate was left in trust until both
boys were of age. Dick came of age
and was obliged to wait two years for
Henry"
was astonished by the succinct and
philosophical brevity of this ignorant
mans narrative. Mr.. Sidney was at
ease In his chair with his eyes closed
and a placid expression Of pleasure on
his face. Jed was active in gesticula-
tion as he talked. That was the ef-
feet of the wine. The wind continued
to pull at the chimney and scold In the
corners.
"Jed has read great deal to me" '"
said Mr.. Sidney without opening his
eyes. 81 think he has become theatric." )"
"Well," said Jed, ito shorten story.
when Dick, being twenty-one, found
that he had 10 wait two more years for
Henry, he became more brutal than
ever. In some way or other, the night
of the murder the two brothers hap;
pened to meet in a tavern in q. village
not far from Hartley house. Henry
did, not want to go home with his
brother, but they both got drunk and
they started to walk home together.
mo one has been able to do much
more than guess at what took place,
but 1t was known that Richard was a
brute and that Henry was scared of
him but was not coward. They must
have had a violent quarrel.
There was a cottage near the pool.
The only person in it at the time was
little girl, whose parents were not at
home. She was awakened by cries
and swearing. She said that she heard
one man say: They'll find you dead In
the morning. Then she heard sounds
of struggle and was, scared and hid
her head under the bedclothes.
"When her parents came home she
told them what she had heard, and
they went out with lantern to the
place from which the noise came. They
found parts Of Henry's clothing. The
nsxt day Richard was found, ten miles
away, still drunk. He confessed that
he had killed his brother in drunken
rage.
"Afterward he said that he hadn't,
b,,t ba q odp,ittad fhot thera had heen
quarrel. 1t was a most celebrated
trial. Richard was convicted. though
the state could not produce any in
dubitable physical evidence of Henry's
death. The contention over this evil
dence made the case noted. ~
Richard Dobson is in the peniten-
tiary at Alwick now. Henry's ghost
is what is supposed to come back to
the pool"
The wind howled outside, and the
fire burned cheerfully. AS romanti-
cist felt rebellious. The ghost story
lacked antiquity. A good ghost story
would not have any human element in
it a prisoner in nearby penitentiary.
1t was too common SAVIOR of the pres
ent.
But Stevenson would have liked the
