engineer of the U. S. Bureau Of Pub

er intimately the situation in the
state before the convention of the
North Dakota Good Roads association.
North Dakota must have a program,
clear cut and intelligent, and men are
necessary to define program, he
told his hearers. Money must be
available for carrying out the pro-
gram and there must be material
which will make a road. Discussing
money, Mr.. Hathaway called atten-
tion to the fact that since 1916, Fed
eral Aid had become available to
North Dakota to the amount Of $5,-
3S7,202.12 as the fifty per cent part Of
the funds supplied by the govern
ment. Added-the states fifty per
cent, and money to the amount of ten
and two thirds millions had been
available for Federal Aid projects ir
the state not including other state
county and township road funds.
Roads have come high during the
past two or three years" Mr.. Hatha-
way told the good roads boosters.
"but the marE-down has come and
they can now be had for about half
nrice. Let us see to it that every dol

which is almost equivalent to jour
ney there. Her novel is better than
a guide book. 1t gives us an insight
into The Siciiian character. We see
in the lives of the characters how
ancient the land is. The Greek and
the Saracen have left their imprint
upon the people. In every activity
the dead hand of the past touches
the quick pulse of the living.
The chief character is Salvatore
Mazzini. He had the pride of race
and of tradition. He was an anti
quarry by temperament. His desire
was to reconstruct the past. He was
anxious for broader opportunities for
study. 1t was misfortune that he
earned a mere pittance as an ex-
cavator of Greek temples. Tempta-
ton was continually thrown in his
way. Finally he yielded to the sug-
gestion of Don Count Andrea Zorano
and hid two Greek vases that he
found.
Salvatore's sister, Zita, was a re-
nascence of the Greek spirit. Her
form had the perfection of a statue.
She had the joyous vitality of an
older world. 1t was easy TO imagine
her joining in a pagan dance to
Aphrodite. As the author says, "A
Sicilian girl is a woman in her
cradle" Zita's happy sensuousness
appealed to Count Zorano. He wooed
her very skillfully, and her brothers
dependence upon his employer held
her silent.
Salvatore. because of his poverty
and his new mood of self-distrust, is
unable to WOO Christine Lovatt when
she comes into his life. She is a
splendid sample of Scotch virtue and
intelligence, and is much drawn to
the young Sicilian. Sicily seems the
land of romance TO her. and she is
won by Count Zorano. Her welded
life with him is a tragic disappoint-
ment, but 1t teaches her to appreciate
true worth and at the end Q; The
journey she finds her happiness.
Zita's romance is told with thn same
sympathy and understanding.

failure to keep his part of the agree
ment with his wife. She had agreed
to supply money TO back him in OBJ

his part of the bargain. oh, life
dealt him rather stiff blow at the
moment Oppenheim opens the story.
Separated from his wife, he meets
Lady Jane. His secretary suddenly
and completely disappears-whether
he has killed him or not he is not
sure. Nobody's man is ready for a
life of seclusion, or so he thinks.
But not so Lady Jane, or Stephen
Dartley, head of the popular party,
or Nora Mall, an ardent democrat
and writer of clever articles. Those
three and the agonistic James
Miller, NJ. p, serve to fire the am
bition of Andrew Tallente until he
not only becomes somebody's man
but reaches positions which make his
wife regret sthe day of their separa-
ton.

ments of happiness, sorrow. passion,

twenty one day the unexpected hap
pened and a rich and willful old lady
who needed secretary and had
just discovered that Delights mother
had been her cousin, called and car
ried Delight away to the part in the
great world played by the secretary
of a rich old lady, who, though pos
sessed Of a kind heart, bullied every
body because she had got her head
and nobody interfered with her. So
Delight saw as much of the world as
such secretary sees, and then. with
a bang, the unexpected happened
again. for the rich old lady died and
left 100000 to her secretary-just
like that.
Naturally the girl was q bit dis
concerted by so sudden a change in
her life. but she had just begun to
plan what to do with herself and
her money when the doctor came.
The doctor came to much purpose.
for he told Delight she had pernicious
an@mia and only a single year to
live. Then this extraordinary phys;-
can said Good morning" and
abandoned the girl to her fate. Now
We submit that this sounds improb-
able. for doctors do not usually tell
young people of that age that they
nave pernicious anamia without
sticking around to be in readiness To
help II they can think of ANYTHING
TO do-particularly if the patient has
SIN million dollars. This part of the
story does not seem exactly to hold
the mirror up TO nature.
However. here was Delight with
her conflicting prospects. Being at
an age when it really seems a mis-
take to be sentenced to death within
a single year, the girl set out to see
now she could use her much money
and her little time to the best advan-
tage, not entirely for herself. One
OF her childhood's dreams had been
10 travel and do nice things for peo-
pie. and the other had been some
thing else which many girls some
times think of but do not talk about
so Delight decided to travel, and the
hrst thing she knew she found her.
self on the track of her other hearts
desire. The story Of how she and
one Of her girl friends contrived to
. play at cross purposes with a young
man whose affections were bestowed
upon Delight is rather ingenious. quite
absurd and decidedly amusing in
spite of the amiable stupidity which
sometimes is found among people of
the best intentions. And as the fate
ful year drew to its close. and De-
hight prepared to take her inevitable
leap into the unknown, she saw the
doctor again: and after looking her
over carefully he told her she was
not going to die after all. On the
contrary, the very converse of death
seemed to be in prospect.
Altogether, this is quite an enter
tanning tale of unexpected events fol-
lowing very solemnly established

and will serve to relieve the tedium
Of many winter evenings when peo-
pie find that "destiny's dice box" has

"HE revolt of youth is the prin-
cipal subject of most recent
novels and Mr.. Duffus has
handled this theme extremely WELL
His hero was born in a country vii
lage where each native son was heir

follow in his fathers footsteps and
BE a physician. Had he followed
this path it would have meant a
heroic struggle with death in re-

He could never have attained wide

pride in grim usefulness that his
forebears had done. Joe Chaplin re-
VOTED against such a humdrum des-

a wanderlust and love of music.
Unconsciously her influence led him
away from the ancestral soil. He
had no desire to be chained to the
place in which fate cast his lot.
THE background against which the
hero .revolted was so fine that his
revolt was noble. The best passages
of the book deal with his sturdy
father. content with mere usefulness
and enjoying the grim struggle. He

This is the conclusion:
"She knew it was heaven to be

and the meaning of love drifted into
her soul: geptleness, protection, a
safe refuge, encompassing arms. Some
one who would rather give up to you

And she probably was quite as
good wife as "the girl~who has
never been kissed"-if there is such
a creature.
