"We see Santa, too, and he big, so big
that he bring me and Angelica lots

pick US up like you did Angelica"
Ralph gave a start. Someone was
laundering upon his door with two
fists instead Of one. The door was
locked. He slipped the bolt.

That's all right" said Ralph, hur-
riedly tearing open the telegram. The
door closed; Ralph read:

Ralph could have shouted for joy.

ment, you know" volunteered the girl.
Ralph thought minute, then put a
crisp one-doIlar bill into the basket.
''Ohl that's too much to give" called
the girl, but Ralph hao disappeared
down the stairs into the school.
That did not end Ralph's thoughts
on the matter, however. In the after
noon he met Frances, one Of his girl
friends from the normal department
Ralph she burst forth, "the tag day
surely is going over big. They expect
to make quite lot more than they
did last year. Why" she exclaimed In
her joy, do you know, they always
say artists are so very poor-wen,
Aida told me some nice young man put
a dollar bill in her basket and never
said a word about wanting any
change"
Ralph smiled: ''That fellow probably
was thinking about some composition
he was making and didn't even know
he put it in"
mo, he didn't, because Aida said he
thought minute before he dropped
it in"
That evening as Ralph worked in his
room at the boarding house, some way
or other he just couldn't keep his mind
off his home. He had known right along
that he couldn't go home for Christmas,
but as the time drew nearer-only two
more days now before Christmas vaca-
tion-he felt very lonely, There was
someone besides the folks who made
Ralph wish he were going home. Ralph
heaved a sigh.
"Gee, hate to think Of it. She will
be home from college for the holidays,
and | won't be there to take her
around. Well. little girl, you under
stand if all the rest don't. Hang it,
would like to see you. Lilliani"
Everybody at school went about
whistling and singing, why shouldn't
he? He should. Hadn't he given that
dollar he had been saving so long for
some colors he wanted? If he couldn't
go home, he was at least contributing
to someone else's happiness. Come to
think of it, there are loads of people
in this very city who have no place

Suddenly Ralph burst out laughing.
Posing as a martyr-the idea;
healthy, hearty, young, robust boy like
him posing as martyr!
His laughter echoed in the semi
empty room and died out. He was
seated in an old morris chair with his
back to the door, deep in thought,
when a light rap on his room door
stirred him. Thinking it one Of the
boys living in the house. and not both

Eyes, bring in the sister. 'Yamp'-

The sister, just able to toddle across
the floor, dressed in a figured calico
romper suit, was hoisted and boosted
into Ralph's lap by Jose. The baby
cuddled against Ralph, nesting down
perfectly content Ralph felt little
thrill vibrate through his frame.
The "vamp," still at Ralph's side,
leaning both elbows on his knees,
peered into his face with her large
lustrous eyes.

Rapid Transportation Is
Possible by Paved Roads

Paved roads and dairying go hand in
hand AS more improved roads are
constructed, milk routes are extended
and the farmer farther from the city
is provided with a market for his milk
Over unimproved routes, requiring
wagon delivery, the longest route pos
sible is only approximately Is miles,
while over paved highways, Travelled by
motortrucks, routes covering as high
as 40 miles are established. Large
areas of prospective dairy country are
waiting only the construction of more
hard-surfaced roads. When these are
built many more farmers, now cut Off
from their market, will receive the
benefit of the economical and rapid
transportation made possible by the
motortruck and the paved highway.

BETTER
ROADS
Interest in Good Roads
Found to Be Increasing


That interest in the good roads
movement throughout the country is
increasing rather than diminishing Is
shown by results of a census of bond
issues contemplated and authorized for
highway construction just completed By
the Asphalt association Of New York.
The figures show that total of $751;

federal aid. were reported under con-
temptation in the states, counties.
townships and road districts Of the
country from August /. 1922, TO Au-
gust /, 1928, and that the sum Of S617.-
029,53T was actually authorized TO be
expended
The amount reported as eontem-
plated exceeded the ST4s, $4,000 con-
templated during the year previous by
S32 1884, and the sum authorized ex-
ceeded that of the year before by
$75.304,T 57. The bond issues author
lied from August /, 1921, to August 1,
1922 amounted to S541, ia, 100
"For some time, said j. E. Penny
hacker, secretary of the Asphalt as
siciation, among good roads advo-
Gates, the opinion has prevailed seem
ingly that the public demand for i'm
proved roads is not now a great as in
previous years. That the exact re-
verse is the case is shown by the in
yestigations we have made Not only
is the demand for good roads increas-
Ing practically everywhere, but there
is much greater demand for the
finest types of hard surfaced high
ways. such as sheet asphalt and as
phaltic concrete. Last year 82.000,OG0
square yards of asphalt highways
were constructed in this country. The
reports we are now receiving indicate
that asphalt construction this year
will far exceed that figure
That the greatest interest in good
roads is to be found in the South at
present is Indicated by the fact that
Virginia led all other states in con-
templated Improvements. Tennessee
was second and Texas third Penn
sylvania ranked fourth. The last
named state, however. led the country
in the amount of money actually au-
thorized to be expended. Illinois was
second in this respect. Florida was
third and California fourth.

several shoppers pressing about her
counter handling and examining the
beautiful French embroidery of the
lingerie there. They swan before

that to eyes, you know.
How trying they were, these Gus

tons. How did Nellie know how this
or that garment would launder, or
wear? How could she know? Nellie
never In her whole life had possessed
a stitch of such costly stuff. And still
these crowding, high-yoiced women ex-
pected her to prophesy the whole
future life of their purchases They
were certainly better judges than she
of such things. They ought to know.
But there was one lady, lady with
soft brown eyes, half smiling brown
eyes, who patiently stood and waited
her turn. Because of her patience in
that Christmas rush, she came last.
But If she had been patient in waiting
her turn, Nellie now had to be patient
in waiting on her. For although 1t
was already ten o'clock and time for
the counters to be draped for the
night, she took her time. Very care
fully she chose two whole sets of lin
gerie. Every piece she examined
closely to make sure of the quality,
and the beauty of the design. Nellie
thought she would never be done. In
fact. Nellie found it hard, just as the
brown-eyed lady was lowering over
the choice of the last piece. not to
cry out at her. For Heavens sake,
make up your mind! Can't you see

But of course Nellie cried out no
such thing. She just shut her young
lips together, and winked back child
ish tears of irritation and exhaustion.

And then she looked up, smiling into
Nellie's eyes. And will you take the
