GOOD HIGHWAYS IN JAMAICA
Island in British West Indies Is Awak- ening to Realization of
 Improved Roads.

The island of Jamaica, In the Brit fish West Indies, rich In natural re- sources and active In trade, is awak- ening to realization of the import ance of good roads. The advent of the automobile has had much to do in the development of an agitation which now promises valuable results. The system of modern highways which 1t is proposed to build will mean the speedy development of parts of the Island now more or less neg lected because of their practical in- accessibility. Completion of radial system of good roads would undoubt- edly. be followed by general adop- tion of the motortruck for conveying the products to the sea. The in creased speed and efficiency thus ac- quired would tend to promote larger production, and thereby increase the wealth of this already industrious is- land

His progress was up a shallow depression, and he had attained the deeper shade of the trees, when, suddenly, voice, apparently speaking not two yards distant. gave utterance to an oath of disgust.

 The Trail to Wolves, Hole.

The Trail to Wolves, Hoie-
 Shelby lifted himself on one elbow, and ventured to breathe easily once more. The vague shadows of the two men had vanished, but their progress through the underbrush could be plain ly distinguished Feeling themselves absolutely alone in that wilderness neither made the slightest effort to proceed silently. Shelby sat upright on the edge of the gully, straining his eyes through the darkness.
 A strange fortune had brought him the very information he most needed. His whole thought centered instantly on the fate of the girl. What course would she choose under these circurn- stances. when the facts were finally revealed to her? Undoubtedly she be lieved him dead; her eaptors would impress that fact upon her first of all, so as to make her realize her com plete helplessness. Besides, sine cared nothing for him; had married him in- differently, merely to thus escape from a worse fate He could not hope
  tions, would greatly influence her de- cision. Somehow the thought hurt Shelby, and brought to him the knowl- edge that he did care. He cared very much indeed, and this truth colored his thought and decision.
 He dare not follow those men at present; he could only wait where he was, and plan his course of action. There was no danger of his losing them, for he knew where they were going, and. in measure at least, about who they were. Shelby had never been in that strange sink known as Wolves hole, but he had talked with a man who had. An immense hole in the Bad Lands through which flowed a branch of the Cottonwood, q strange malformation of nature, so completely concealed as to be invisible until the surprised traveller stood on it's very edge. and stared down into the gloomy depths below. The walls were precipitous, impossible except on foot by daylight, and at only two points could the sink be entered on horseback from the west beneath the protection of cataract, where the stream plunged headlong over high ledge of stone, and from the other extremity down narrow ravine through a tunnel scooped out by some torrent in long-past ages. Originally discovered by wandering trappers. who camped there out of the winter storms, 1t had later become the head quarters for an illicit Indian trade in liquor, and finally the rendezvous for criminals of all kinds, eager to get beyond the reach of the law. It was rumored that there was actually town there, with women of a class. with a certain rude attempt at gov ernment by few self-constituted au- thorities.

Tors he could take any action, was shot and killed in a street fight with some roughs in Sheridan. Nobody knows for sure just how it happened. but it's my opinion Churchill got up the row just to get him out O the way. It all happened sudden, an un- expected, the only fellow with the colonel at the time being an old ser geant, named Calkins Calkins was shot himself. but got away, and took care Of Carlyn till he died. maybe an hour later Enyhow he kept the fel- lows from getting hold O any papers, an I reckon the colonel give him an idea of what was up."
 What makes you think so?"
 "The way he acted afterward. Churchill had got Carlyn out of the way, but he couldn't locate the girl. He didn't suspect the sergeant at first, nor for a long time. He was foxy guy, and stuck to the army for several years, never maxim move, just payin' for the girls sehoelin', but never goin' near her. Then, when everybody had quit watchin' him, Cal kins took his discharge papers, and skipped out, takin' the girl with him."
 How could he do that?s
 "rhats what I asked MackIin, an he said they'd finally found out that durin' the time between when Carlyn was shot, an when he died, he'd signed a paper maxim Calkins the girls guardian, an gave him the key

GOOD ROADS BOOST PROFITS
Where Farmer Can Haul but One Bale of Cotton on Poor Road, Man on
 Good Roads HauIs Four.

The matter of opportunity in mar keting is worthy of consideration. For the sake of example, suppose that two farmers living in separate counties, but at equal distances from the cotton market, learn by telephone that cotton has advanced in price $1 bale. The man living on bad road can imme- diately haul one bale of cotton to market, while the other can haul four bales because he lives on good road. The rise in price means profit of s4 to the one man and only S1 to his neighbor.

"WoLvEs' HOLE"

Synopsis.-Tom Shelby, a rancher, rides into the frontier town of Ponea, looking for a good time after a long spell of hard work and loneliness on the ranch. In- stead, he runs into a funeral-that of Dad Calkins, a retired army man of whom little Is known. A girl, still in her teens. survives Calkins. Mccarthy, saloon keep CT and Ponca's leading citizen. de- cides that the girl, now alone in the world, should marry. She agrees to pick out husband from the score of men lined up in her home To his consternation, she se- leets Shelby, who had gone along merely as a spectator. He declines the honor. Indignant, the girl dis misses the assemblage. Shelby runs into two of the rejected suit ors, and in a fight worsts them both. fingered at their remarks, he returns to the girl, determined to marry her, if sine will have him. After his explanation she agrees to marry him. The wedding takes place and the couple set out for Shelhy's ranch. With them Is Kid" Macklin, whom Shelby has hired as a helper. On the way the girl tells her husband her name is Olga Carlyn, and also tells him something of the peculiar circum- stances of her life. Upon arrival at the ranch Shelby is struck down from behind and left for dead. He recovers consciousness to find that Ma Nlxl{r1 and f{a xu4To have coma He starts in pursuit

 Sure; all the young bucks are al- ready out. Maeklin had four with him on this chase-took lem on pur- pose, so If they was ever trailed they'd say 1t was an Injun job. Oh, he's GOV cred up things all right. You got 1t straight now?'
 Hank drew up his feet until his chin rested on his knees, the tip of the cigarette glowing.
 T got 1t straight enough, so far as that goes, Hanley, but don't see what the h-l we're goin' to get out of it"

 Just about, I reckon. I'd sure like to take q good swipe at the ornary cuss.''
 That's what l thought We'll, he ain't goin' to do nothin' desperate to this young woman till he hears from the old man. This affair has been pulled off hurriedlike, an all the Kid has got in his mind right now is to hide her away somewhere, until old Churchill shows up and decides what to do with her."
 What do you suppose he'll decidef.
 ''Well, my notion is that if Macklin is the old mans son, he'll try to force her into marvin the boy. That would be the easy way, an I believe that will likely be their scheme. My ides is to put a crimp In it."
 'How?"
 ''By getting hold Of her ourselves before the old man shows up, an then doin' business with him."
 "Whereal we take herr"
 "Back into Wolves hole; there's hidin, places there a plenty, an with them Injuns raisin' h-l up north, it'll be safe enough, until the wars over enyhow. What do yer say?"

 Yes: he never told anybody what was up but me. All right, let's mosey along; there's no use stayin' here."

up steep bank, where the ponies hoofs slipped in their struggle to at tain the top Shelby gave the buck skin his head, and the game little devil went scra1nbling up, until they came forth on a flat plain above. Shel- by dropped his rein, and climbed to higher point of rock, lying concealed behind it's summit, while he swept the scene below through the field glasses He never had been there before, yet he knew about where he was; this must be Dragoon creek, and not far below would be Wolves hole, of which he often had heard-a famous hiding place for cattle thieves. and border outlaws. These fellows evidently were heading for there. but would they try to complete the journey? His hope centered on their camping somewhere until morning; if sufficiently assured of safety this would probably be their choice. Through the field glasses he studied the course of the stream, and the little patches of wood intently. At last he was rewarded-a faint spiral of blue smoke arose above some dis tant trees, the evidence of camp fire. He lay there motionless, silent, his eyes glued to the glass planning his action, and waiting for the night.
 As the gloom slowly deepened Shell by was able to distinguish the flicker of that far-off fire, but the distance was too great to permit any knowl- edge of it's surroundings. The trail leading down was narrow, and rock strewn, and he determined to try the passage while a faint glimmer of twi- light yet fingered. Leading the buck skin, and moving with the utmost cau- ton, he began the descent.
 The gloom did not greatly retard his movements, for, through the glasses, he had mapped out the salient fea- lures, and so impressed them upon his memory as to go forward now con- fidently. The camp fire was located in the third grove of trees, and there were no signs of human presence be- tween. However, he took no chance, but advanced quietly on foot, leading his horse, and using every precaution against discovery.
 He circled the two groves, keeping close Tn their shadow. and searching their depths anxiously for any sign of life They were desolate and desert ed, but, from the outer fringe of the second he could perceive plainly the dull glow of the fire a hundred yards ahead. It was no longer flame, but a mere gIimmer of red ashes, casting no reflection about, although clearly visible. He fastened the bronco to a limb, within the circle of trees, and crouched forward alone, Winchester in hand, choosing his passage beneath the bank of the stream, and advanc- ing with every preeaution, pausing every few steps, to peer over the pro- tecting bank, and thus assure himself that all remained quiet. When almost exactly opposite the red glow of the coals, he lay still, endeavoring vainly to learn the situation, and becoming more and more puzzled.
 The camp appeared deserted, as though the party which had halted there had already passed on. He could hear no sound, see no movement. The fire had died down into mere glim- mer of red ashes, barely perceptible amid the surrounding gloom. Shelby

Old Calkins was smart enough to fool him. The colonel had money enough in the deposit box, so they could live on it quietlike, an the ser geant never wasted cent.
