sentiment at the words.

and look around"
The elder man regarded him curl

mer of admiration. you'd better wait

don't want to overdo too much, right

WHAT GOOD HIGHWAYS MEAN
Enable Farmers to Get Their Differ.
ent Crops to Market at Least
Possible Expense.

Farmers are business men and In
order to conduct their farms in a
businessllke way and cope with other
business men in the state they must
devise ways and means of reducing
the expenses Of operation" said l.. e.
Birdsal In submitting resolution to
the Illinois Agricultural association.
He added: an no way can the ex-
pense of farming be reduced as com
pletely as by securing good roads run
ming by the farms which will enable
the delivery of crops to market with
the. least possible expense"
That Is good sound sense and com
ing from practical farmer II shows
that farmers are keenly alive to the
need and value Of improved roads
Mr. BirdsalI lays further emphasis on
the need of selecting the most COM
petent men for highway officials so
that the best talent may be available
for road building and repairing.

hills. And 1t was true that he began
to have secret regrets that he had
come. But it wasn't that he was dis
appointed in the land that was OPEN
ing up before him. 1t fulfilled every
promise. His sole reason for regrets
lay in the fact that now the whole
mountain world would know of the
decay that had come upon his people.
Perhaps it would have been better to
have left them to their traditions.
He had never dreamed that the
fame of his grandfather had spread
so far. For the first ten miles Dan
listened to stories-legends of a cold
nerve that simply could not be shaken
Of a powerful, tireless physique; of
moral and physical strength that was
seemingly without limit Then, as
the foothills began to give way to the
higher ridges, and the shadow of the
deeper forests fell upon the narrow.
brown road, there began to be long
gaps in the talk. And soon they rode
in utter silence, evidently both of
them absorbed In their own thoughts.
Dan did not feel oppressed at all.
He merely seemed to fall into the
spirit of the woods, and no words
came to his lips. Every mile was an
added delight to him. Not even wine
could have brought brighter sparkle
to his eyes. He had begun to expert
ence a vague sort of excitement, an
emotion that was almost kin to ex-
ultation, over the constant stir and
movement Of the forest life. Once, as
they stopped the car TO refill the ra-
diator from a mountain stream, Len

"We're going to have a ball." said
Fairy Princess JOY, "and l am getting
1t up. WIN you all come to Fairyland
tomorrow evening at eight o'clock
We're going to dress in fancy costumes
and we're going to have great deal
of fun" she said.
And that was the invitation she
took around to everyone.
The very next evening they all ar
rived in plenty of time, and there were
the most remarkable costumes you
have ever seen.
There were gypsles and there were
knights and beautifully gowned ladies
and there were gnomes and brownies
dressed like animals, and many of the
elves had dressed as birds.
A number of the fairies were miss
ing, however, and everyone wondered
just when they would come and just
what they would wear.
In a few minutes after the guests
had arrived, along came old Mr.. Giant
He wore a huge costume which stuck
out and made him look larger than
ever.
His sleeves were the most enormous
things you ever did see.
well, old Mr.. Giant" they all said,
you have Joke In mind to tell u.s."
"What makes you think sog asked
Mr.. Giant.
"Oh, you have something In the way
of surprise or joke, for you've got
an expression on your face which says
quite plainly that you've something up
your sleeve"
Something up my sleeve, eh?" asked
Mr.. Giant. pray tell me what that
means"
"Well," said Billie Brownie, when
creatures have some secret they know
or some plan on hand, or something
they mean to spring, they say, you've

that there Is something hidden either
In the way of surprise, a joke, a

GOOD
ROADS
BUILDING OF BETTER ROADS
Highway Educational Work Extending
Its Scope In Various Sections Of
the Country.

The extent to which the people OF
the United States are committing
themselves TO definite policy of high
way development is shown by reports
reaching the federal highway council
from all sections of the country.
In the face of high cost for both ma
terials and labor, and the fact that In
some states construction programs
must be altered somewhat to meet ex.
listing labor and material conditions,
there Is no tendency upon the part of
the people to slow down in their plans
to place the nations highways upon
higher plane In the country's transpor-
tation system. Tersely stated, they
are sold to the heels" on the PROPOSE
ton to construct highways that will
release rather than restrict traffic, and
they are dismlssing labor and material
problems with curt instructions to
their official servants that 1t is up to
them to deliver the roads.
A curious fact In connection with
construction problems at the present
moment is that the building of roads Is
seriously hindered by the same evil
which they are designed to remove
lack Of transportation. According to
authoritative information, production
is halted to a greater degree by made
quate transportation facilities than by
labor shortage. At least this Is true, II
is claimed, in the production of ma
terials for road building

You look as though you had some
thing hidden away, You have a Sc
cret for us, eh, Mr.. Giant"
"Well, well, well, maybe you're
right" he said.
And as he said so the great enormous
sleeves he wore began to shake and
move, and suddenly they saw many OF
the little fairies running down old Mr.
Giants sleeves and coming out over
his hands and jumping about laughing
with delight.
II did have something up my sleeve,
ha, ha, that was true enough" said
old Mr. Giant.
"A good joke" said Billie Brownie.
Just then along came fairy carry
ing an enormous whistle and cake
of soap, fowl and basin filled with
water.
"What In the world are you doing,
Fary?" they all asked. "And won't

I'm seeing that this whistle lives

fairy. "They use the expression as
clean as a whistle and must see that
this whistle is no disgrace to the fam

to be as clean as whistle, and the
whistle must be clean to keep up its

was all too plain: an undeniable look
of disappointment.
The truth was that even in spite or
all the Chamber of Commerce head had
told him, LennOx had still hoped 10
find some image of the elder Dan
Failing in the face and body Of his
grandson. Because of the thick
glasses, Lennox could not see the
young mans eyes; but he didn't think
it likely they were at all like the eyes
with which the elder Failing saw his
way through the wilderness at night.
OF course he was tall, just as the Ia
nous frontiersman had been, but
while the elder weighed one hundred
and ninety pounds, bone and muscle,
this man did not touch one hundred
and thirty. Evidently the years had
brought degeneracy to the Failing clan.
LennOx was desolated by the thought.
He helped Dan with his bag to lit
tie wiry automobile that waited be-
side the station. They got into the
two front seats, and a moment later
were starting up the long, curved
road that led to the Divide.
During the hour that they were
crossing over the foothills, on the way
to the big timber, Silas Lennox talked
a great deal about the frontiersman
that had been Dams grandfather. A
mountain man does not use profuse
adjectives. He talks very simply and
very straight, and often there are long
silences between his sentences Yet
he conveys his ideas with entire clear
ness
Dan realized at once that If he
could be, In LennoX's eyes, One-fifth
of the man his grandfather had been,
he would never have to fear again the
look of disappointment with which his
host had greeted him at the station.
But instead of reaching that high
place, he had only-death. He knew
what his destiny was in these quiet

life
"In this very stream" the mountain
eer told him joyously, you may occa-
sionally catch trout that weigh three
pounds"
But as he got back into the car the
look IF interest died out of Lennox's
eyes. OF course any man would be
some what excited by his first glimpse
of the wilderness. 1t was not that he
had inherited any Of the traits of his
grandfather. 1t was absurd to hope
that he had And he would soon get
tired of the silences and want to go
back to his cities. He told his thought
that it would all soon grow old to
him; and Dan turned almost In anger
"You don't know" he said. II
didn't know myself, how l would feel
about 1t. I'm never going to leave the
hills again"
"You don't mean that"
"But l do" He tried to speak fur
Their, but he coughed instead. "But
couldn't if l wanted to. That cough
tells you why, / guess"
'You mean to say" Sllas Lennox
turned In amazement. you mean that
you're IA goner? That you've given
up hope of recOvering?"
"That's the impression | meant to
convey. I've got little over four
months--though | don't see that I'm
any weaker than was when the doc
tor said l had six months. Those
four will take me all through the fall
and the early winter. And hope you
won't feel that you've been imposed
upon-to have dying man on your
hands,"
at isn't that" Sllas Lennox threw
his car into gear and started up the
long grade And he drove clear to the
top of 1t and into another glen before
he spoke again. Then he pointed to
what looked to Dan like brown
streak that melted into the thick
brush, "That was deer" he said
slowly. "Just a glimpse, but your
grandfather could have got him be-
tween the eyes. Most like as not
though, he'd have let him go, He
never killed except when he needed
meat. But that-as you say-ain't
the impression I'm trying to convey"
He seemed to be cropping for words.
"What is it, Mr. LennOxT Dan
asked.
Instead of being sorry, I'm mighty
glad you've come" LennOX told him.
ITS not that l expect you to be like
your grandfather. You haven't had
his chance. But it's always the way
of true men, the world over, to come
back to their own kind to die. That
deer we just saw-he's your people,
and so are all these ranchers that
grub their lives out of the forests
they are your people, too. And you
couldn't have pleased the old mans
old friends any better, or done more
for his memory, than to come back
to his own land for your last days"
The words were strange, yet Dan
intuitively understood. 1t was as If
prodigal son had returned at last,
and although his blrthright was
squandered and he came only to die
the people of his home would give him
kindness and forgiveness, even though
they could not give him their respect
