BEGIN HERE TODAY.

When the peasant Mabey was shot
dead while poaching on the domain
OF the great noble, of Brittany, the
MARQUIS DE LA TOUR D'AZYR, a
shudder of horror went through
the sensitive spirit of
PHILIPPE DE vILMORIN, a young
divinity student, who was a be-
lever in the democratic doctrines
which underlay the French Reyo-
luton. Philippe's determination
to secure justice meets with little
encouragement from his friend,
AMBIGUOUS MOREAU, a young
and brilliant lawyer, who is pop
ularly believed to be the son OF
QUENTIN DE KERCADIOU, Lord
of Gavrillac. Andre-Louis looks
with cynicism on the new polfti-
cal doctrines but agrees to ac-
company Philippe and put the
case before de Kercadiou. The
Marquis was cloSeted with the
Lord of Gavrillac when they ar
rived. Philippe goes to join the
two mobiles and Andre-Louiis
talks to the young and beautiful
,ALINE DE KERCADIOU. He is
Mortified when the girl tells him
that the Marquis has come to ask
her uncle for her hand in mar
rage.

moved along the terrace, Andre

reason why you should not let this

She frowped, and her lips tight

sanucement made by Senator Rich
srd r. Meents, chairman of the

And the unimproved roads, SEN

we could build in Illinois 1000
miles of hard surface roads each
year for the next SO Years before
xe would have the entire mileage
a the state covered. Since none
n us will probably live to see that,
Il Is only reaconab BILE then to make
good roads OF what we have while
We wait for permanent ones.
The state bond issue roads
which Governor Small and the
highway division are trying to com,
plete during the next three years
comprise about 1880 miles of trunk
line roads, connecting community
eenters with one another, a COM
prehensive statewide trunk system
OF hard surface roads.
Approximately l 800 miles have
been completed by the state, in
Guiding federal aid roads, leaving
in road figures $500 miles yet to
be constructed. 1t is the aim and
the endeavor of the state to con-
struct during this year 1000 miles
Of the remaining 5000 miles of the
state bond issue system.
"Of this 1000 miles there has
been let 1908 miles. Up to May
20, last, 5198 of this total had been
completed. Contracts will be let in
the near future, bringing the total
mileage under construction for
1922 up 10 the 1,000-mile goal.'
Senator Meents declared that leg
islation permitting the state to
build permanent roads has been
passed in the last 10 years He
groups the legislation in three
headings: the Tie law, permitting
the state and county to form a part
nership in principal roads in the
Individual county; the S60,000,000

law, known as the good roads law,
proposing to give the state of Illi-

manently improved.
