ARIZONA HAS 21227
MILES SURFACED ROADS

Arizona has a total of q, ,227 miles
Of surfaced roads, it is revealed in 4
bulletin just issued following a sur
vey by the bureau of public roads,
department of agriculture, of all sur
faced roads in the United States. This
survey, it is pointed out, includes all
sand-clay gravel, macadam, as well
as roads that have been paved. While
there are several states, particularly
those of the east, that far surpass
Arizona in the total mileage of roads,
this state holds her own in crafty
ing manner with other western states,
considering her population.
The United States at present has
more than 100000 miles of surfaced
roads, while at the close of the year
1921 the surfaced mileage was estlm-
ated at 387, 900. An additional mile
age was constructed during 1922,
amounting to $4,000 miles, while in
1928 construction will not fall short
of the previous years record, the
report saws.
BY the end of the present year, con-
sidering road building projects in pro
cess of construction or Immediately
contemplated, it is said that the total
construction at the end of this year
will be approximately 100000 miles.

laughingly. "Where have you been,

IT'S rather long story" replied
Mary, as she removed her wraps, hang
ing them in the one and only little
clothes closet the boarding house room
afforded This was already filled to the
bursting point, needless to add.

Esther nodded in assent.
81 met her when I was a stenOg-
rapher at the settlement house, you
know. She tells me she is still in that
work. 1 think it so queer that l
should meet her like this after our con-
versation last night. Now, Miss Esther,
1 am coming to the point. You recol-
lect saying that you were so blue be-
cause it was almost Christmas and you
had no home to go to, no money to give
to make some one happy, and you
couldn't go to see George because you
hadn't the railroad fare! Well"-and
Mary paused for breath-"now, here is
your chance to show how much you
meant all this. Mrs. Young was telling
me her troubles"
"Oh, Mary, how awful!" and Esther

took the liberty to tell her you would
be glad to do it, So"
II surely will do my best. I will be-
gin to practice this very night. I will
see Mrs. Young tomorrow about the
songs she wants me to sing. Do you
suppose George would come down to
hear me sing, and then maybe stay
over for ChristmasW
1t was the night of the entertain
ment and the girls were putting the fin
ishing touches to their dressing when
Esther suddenly broke the silence
IT think it is so queer that I didn't
receive any answer from George. He
might at least have told me he
couldn't come"
Everything was excitement and
noise in the large hall Of the settle
ment house, where people Of all ma
tionalities were crowding in. The pro-
gram began at the hour stated. Be
fore long Esther heard her name an
nounced and stepped onto the plat
form with her pianist.
Gazing at the audience, while she
awaited the pianist, her wandering
glance fell upon familiar face. 1t
could not be, but yet, in recognition, he
smiled. 1t was Georgel
"The old DEAR" and then, in the
same breath, she murmured, "Oh,
God, I thank thee for the power of
breath, the desire to live with which
you have invested me, and, dear Lord
for Georgew
She threw back her head with an
exalted air. George was going to hear
her sing. She must do more than her
best.
Never did she sing with such spirit
and vigor. She seemed truly inspired
Her cup of Joy was full. The burst of
applause which met her ears showed
the thorough appreciation Of her audi
ence for her efforts.
She couldn't get to George fast
enough after the entertainment Meet
ing, they both seemed perfectly oblivi-
Gus of the crowds about them as he
gathered her in his arms.
ESTHER, you were simply divine. Your
voice was wonderful. never heard you
sing like that before" Some one
tapped him on the arm. 1t was Mary.
"But, George" said Esther, wriggling
out Of his grasp, realizing that they
were creating quite a scene, why
didn't you tell me you were coming"
didn't you get my telegram with all
the good news in it? Well, listen,
then" George said, exc1tedly. Il
brought my boss along. He has heard
so much about your voice-Mr. VIII
hanson, meet Miss Esther Hislop and
her friend, Miss Mary Roner, Mr.. VIII
hanson. He Is very interested IN your
voice-in fact, he has proposition to
put before you"
Esther slipped her arm about Mary
and put her other arm through
Georges. She needed support.
MY idea was this" began Mr.. VIII
hanson, "for me to send you to New
York for training for year or so; be-
ing near my place of business, you
could report often as to your progress"
"And l will be near George, too"
thought Esther. But, aloud, she said,
Il will have to take Mary. She Is my
inspiration always. 1 couldn't do with
out her"
Then" proceeded Mr.. Williamson

merely threatened her. He can be a
mighty unpleasant spectacle when he
likes"
Il hope to heaven you're right"
The more I think of it," pursued
Pennington, the more feasible il
seems. Guaya, you must remember,
Is consummate actress-and her
efforts certainly struck me as highly
theatrical"
Where are we now?" demanded
Moorhouse gloomily.
"A shade better off than when we
started. We know that the Yellow
Seven are here in considerable force,
and that the united efforts of three
perfectly good white men armed
with ,automatics would be about the
forlornest hope ever embarked upon"
They passed through the screen of
cocopalms and emerged on to the
strip of grassland in which Moor
houses bungalow lay.
Moorhouse, hardly awake, reached
down automatically for the blanket at
the bottom of the bed. Suddenly, as
his benumbed faculties began to re-
turn to him, he started and blinked
vacantly at the white canopy above
him. Somewhere close at hand a
dog was barking. Ten seconds later
he had woken to the realization that
it was the black chow and that the
sound came from the veranda.

And then--something black and
shadowy slid noiselessly within the
rectangle of light and out of it again.
The ID. O., experiencing that I'M
comfortable sensation that is in
variably associated with a surprise in
the early hours, forced his muscles to
act and CROPPED under the pillow for
his automatic. His fingers touched
nothing but the crumpled edge of the
sheet. Always a restless sleeper, his
pillow lay-a shapeless mass-to one
side, and the weapon had presumably
dropped to the floor without waking
him. Swearing softly to himself, he

touched his cheek and, bringing his
head suddenly upward, he saw-as if
dangled from the bedpost---a silver
hand. The thing lowered there. gilt
tering in the patch of light, and for
some moments he stared at it. He
withdrew his gaze with an effort,
wild hope revolving in his brain.
"Guaya!" The words formed
themselves upon his lips. He had
not seen her since that strategic
retreat from the bandits sentries.
Perhaps she had sought him on the
veranda and, failing to find him
there, had come to his room He
looked up again. The apparition was
still where he had first seen it. He
pushed himself upward on his arms
then sank back mute with silent
horror. The thing was left hand
the gauntlet that Chai-Hung had
stolen!
He wriggled over on to his face
and sent his trembling fingers over
the rough floor. They knocked

warm-a human foot, He set his

tion-and snatch up the water jug,
anything with which to defend him

and the curtains parted. A lean
hand fell upon either wrist and. from
out of the corner of his eye, he saw
that the silver hand had vanished
There hung in its place knife with
a long thing blade and hilt that he
knew was yellow.
He aimed a kicked at the arm
which held 1t suspended, but 1t moved
swiftly upward and the force of his
blow was spent upon, empty air. He
could catch its shadowy outline as it
hesitated before descending, and then
the door of the room swung open
and the light of a hurricane lamp IL
Illuminated the whole apartment. The
grip on his wrists relaxed and tight
ened again before he could wrench
himself free. The lamp stood un-
guarded on the threshold, as II 1t had
come there OF its own accord, and
Moorhouse recognized at one and the
same time the, man who held him
and the creature with the knife: Nyi-
Hau-and the great Chai-Hung.
He struggled with renewed vio-
lence. tore one hand from the power
full fingers that encircled 1t and hit
out at Nyi-Hau with all the force he
Icould put behind it. The man re-
coiled and the magistrate, rolling to

by hair's-breadth. He caught the

Guaya. Her garment was torn and

in waves over her dark shoulders.
Moorhouse did not understand the
meaning of her disheveled tresses.
until the dagger with the jeweed
! hilt sped downward. She drove it
with triumphant force between Nyi-
| Hau's shoulders-and the creature
! pitched headlong across the D. o.
Struggling to free himself of his
nauseous burden, Moorhouse did not
see how Guaya died. He heard her
little, painting cry and threw Nyi-
Hau from him to discover Chat Hung

window frame, leaving his knife be-
hind.
The. automatic caught his eye. He
vaulted to the floor and. snatching it

tropie stiffness. Presently he saw
that the silver hand had escaped the
fugitive and rolled to a corner.
"Guaya," he whispered softly, Il

He fell on his knees beside her,
thinking that she had tainted, but
the shapely shoulders that his fin
gers touched were unresponsive.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

Pennington smiled.
You'll have to tuck that sylph-like
form of yours a deal closer into the
underground"
''Guaya's gone in," reported the
ID. 0. of Bukit-Iban, hopping his fore
head with a handkerchief.
Hot, isn't it," said Pennington
cheerfully.
A quarter of AN hour later Moor
house touched Pennington with his
foot and the man with the Chinese
eyes passed the warning on a trifle
more heavily. The girl had emerged
from the hut and, the bundle still I'M
der one arm, was making off in an
easterly direction, following close upon
the heels of an elderly Oriental in a
suit of butchers blue and an enor-
nous mushroom hat.
Moorhouse glanced back.
Give 'em time" muttered Penning-
ton between his teeth. 1T may be a
plant"
To Dawson it seemed centuries be-
fore the jungle expert rose to his feet
and, selecting a patch of ground be-
tween the trees where the giant
a diagonal course toward the path
their quarry had taken. 49,.
1t was fully an hour before they
obtained clear view of the dancer
and her guide, but Pennington-em
ploying some instinct he had acquired
in his wanderings, seemed to have
been aware of their proximity for
some time. With startling sudden
ness Chinese Pennington dropped in
his tracks and, not moment too
soon. his companions followed suit.
Leaning against a jack-fruit tree
barely a dozen yards distinct Moor
house saw an enormous Oriental, nude
from the waist upward, formidable
parang dangling at his side. Farther
to his right, the D. 0. noted a similar
sentinel and, to the left again, still
third. motionless as a statue.
AS they lay there, prey to vora-
cious ants and swarms of flies,
piercing scream come from the di-
rection of the path, followed by
wild, hysterical sobbing.
Moorhouse was up like jack-in-
the-box, but Pennington's fingers, clos
ing firmly over an ankle, pulled him
down again. He turned to expostulate,
but aahand choked his utterance.
keep still, you priceless idiot" the
other whispered in his ear. You can't
do any good. He's waiting for us to
come out and show ourselves"
The. D. 0. of Bukit-Iban, an un-
pleasant taste in his mouth, glanced
appealingly at Dawson; but Dawson
was thoughtfully examining the safe
ty-catch of his automatic and did not
look up.
The screams came again and
Moorhouse damned his fingers in his
ears.
He hardly remembered the details
of that retreat. There was some
thing about Pennington that made
men follow him, or the magistrate
would never have come at all.
"Phew!" calculated Dawson as
soon as they were back at the origi-
nal track. THAT. was trif1e too
near to be pleasant" He winked at
Pennington. Gentlemen, you may
smoked"
He held his case to Moorhouse who
did not appear to notice it, and to
Pennington. who shook his head.
The stout man lit up cheerfully.

tiously, sis the better part of valor!
