THE GIRL SPEAKS.
And Frances, the pretty lass
upon whom the spotlight was 80
suddenly switched from her elder
sister. nodded when she heard
what the slayer's father had said.
Then FRANCES added:

and both young men invited Mar
garet to go with them. The girl
declined Claridge's invitation and
consented to accompany her origi-
nal suitor.
After the performance Herman
escorted his sweetheart to her
home and returned to the town
square on a street car. As he
alighted, Claridge, who was chat.
ting with a group Of students.
strode over to him. There were
angry words exchanged and the
group Of boys drew nearer.
STRUGGLE AND DEATH BLOW
What do you mean by circulat-
ing those stories about me?" they
heard one voice demand and the
other replied:
You can go to hell and find
out, for it's none of your busi-
ness"
At that the pair came together
In q bound and cllnched fiercely.
In the struggle they fell, rose
again and rushed together to re-
now the combat. The other lads
grouped around them TO insure
fair play. and without attempt
ing to interfere with what ap.

Suddenly the pair parted, both
reeling. Claridge closed his right
fist tightly and swung It UP and
around. landing heavily on Tabor's
Jaw. The stricken youth went
back in an arc, his skull strik-
ing the sidewalk with a sharp
click.

final answer to the problem of the
battle.
Sitting between her mother and
Margaret in their home, Frances
gave this version Of the events
of the evening:
mo matter what people say.
Paul took Margaret and me to
Memorial Hall In Groveland to
attend the senior class play. He
didn't want to go. because he
does not care for drama, but I
asked him to take Margaret and
me in his car.
AT the hall, Tabor waited for
Margaret. The boys did not greet
each other, at least I did not see
them speak. But that was nothing
new, for they never fell over each
other with affection anyway. Paul
may not have wanted to go be-
cause Tabor was there, but he did
not say anything to me about that.
After the play. Paul called in
his Ford car to take me homo,
while Margaret and Tabor stayed
on to dance. I like to dance my.
self and would have stayed on. but
Paul had been fixing the car and
he was not dressed for dancing
in his old clothes.
NOT ENGAGED, SAYS GIRL.
Later. Tabor took Margaret
home in the street car. When we
parted with the boys we thought
they went home to bed as we did.
We did not dream that death was

in the air and that we would be
the cause Of It."
Margaret had been silent through
this recital, and now seemed averse
even to expressing regret over the
affair. 1t was evident that the trag-
edy shook the elder girl more than
her younger sister. Questioned tact
fully, the elder girl began by say
ing that she knew OF no reason
why the boys should have quar-
relied over them. Then she stifled
a sob and said. with a note OF
deep grief in her voice.
Tabor and I were not engaged.
but 1 am broken.hearted over mis-
death. No, cannot blame
Frances for It in any way. from
the story as I have heard 1t. She
has always conducted herself
properly.
MY sisters association with
Paul Claridge has been above re-
proach. He Is the boy she always
goes with now. How Tabor could
find anything to say in criticism
of Frances and Paul cannot
guess"
FAMILIES STILL FRIENDLY.
In a small community like this,
where every one knows every one
else, friendship once attained Is dif.
ficult to break down, and there is
not between the Tabor and Claridse
families the resentment that one
unfamiliar with New England
neighbors might expect. So Mr..
Claridge said!
I'm sorry for the Tabors. very
sorry. I'm sending flowers from
my family to the funeral Of their
boy, whom my son killed uninten-
tionally. I only hope they'll take
me in the right way, for I am
sorry. Every one is sorry.
I'VE understand how Paul's peo-
pie feel and we sympathize with
them, too. We don't believe, what.
ever the cause, that Paul meant to
kill our boy, or even to beat him
badly. But we have lost a wondsr-
full son, and we are suffering. very

walked a mile to his own home.
For an hour after the youths sat
on the porch steps, chatting Of
the fight and the things that had
led to 1t, smoking cigarettes as
they talked.
After an hour passed Herman
said he still felt little Ill. though
no pain. and guessed he would
go to bed. He slept with a younger
brother, Elmer. who said after
ward that the doomed lad tossed
and moaned a great deal in his
sleep, but he did not ask relief.
The youngster thought Herman
was in the throes Of a nightmare.
But in the morning Elmer could
not wake him. Herman was
dead. The family physician and
the medical examiner of the town,
who were called. agreed that
death was the result OF a COM
pound fracture of the skull and
the rupture Of an artery of the
brain. How Herman lived 80 long
after the injury was set down by
the specialists as q mystery Of
human endurance.
THE VICTOR ARRESTED.
Flushed with victory, Paul
Claridge had gone directly home
that night in the boyish pride of
having knocked out" his rival
and unaware that Tabor had suf-
fered more than a slight injury,
1t was not until the police came
to take him. to Jail that he was
informed of the gravity Of the
situation. Then he shut his
mouth tightly, shook his head and
refused to discuss either the battle
or the events that had led up

A QUADRANGLE OF LOVE.
Herman Tabor was recently
graduated from the local high
school and went. to Boston. where
he was employed as an accountant.
He had been extremely attentive
to Miss Margaret Sonier and there
were rumors that the young couple
were betrothed. During this period
Paul Claridge was attentive to
Frances Sonier, younger sister of
Margaret. who reciprocated his
affection.

Ancient Roadbuildera.

HerodOtuS tells us that in Egypt
a great king built magnificent road
across the sands for the transporta-
ton of materials for the Pyramids
employing for this purpose 100000
men for a period Of ten years. This
road was built Of massive stone
blocks and was lined on both sides
with mausoleums, statues and temples.
Traces Of what may have been part
of this ancient highway are today
found near the great Pyramids and
comprise what is probably the oldest
remains of a road surfaced with stone.
Early historians write of wonderful
roads radiating from the city Of
Babylon about 1000, Il. c. and run
ming to Susa, Ecbatana, Sardis and
Nineyeh, as having been paved with
brick. The ancient Persians, Assy-
rlans, Carthaginians, Chinese and
Peruvians were, all renowned road
