suddenly he halted, for he caught
sight of girl coming toward him. A

now there was only one-the barbarlt

his heart with a torch.
With her walked tall handsome

'Hush3 Mr. Boyce," said the girl.
"There are people near-this is no

The young man lowered his voice,
and Shottle could hear no more. He
calmly finished his chicken and then
sought out Drace, whom he found pac-
ing up and down impatiently.
"WellT demanded Drace.
"His name" announced 'Shottle as

or maybe John. 1t would be John, I'd

"Hang his name!" exclaimed brace.
'Did you find out hers?"
Nadine" replied Shottle with
triumphant air:
Nadine" repeated Drace, and ca
ressed the name with his lips. "But
what's her last name?"
"Brown probably or maybe Jones.
Or it might even be Smith,"
BRACE scowled his wrath at such
flippancy. @Look here, Lib he said

Shottle asked for the twenty-five in

GOOD ROAD SOON REPAYS
ITS COST, SURVEY SHOWS.

A good road is such paying in
vestment that is the poorest kind of
business judgment to do without it,
according to the Bureau of Public
Roads of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. The bureau
produces figures based upon a sur
vey Of traffic in Connecticut to prove
its contention. An actual count of
the traffic on the Boston Post Road
showed that the average weight of
vehicles and commodities passing
over the road in nine hours each
day was LAO tons. Adding one
third as Conservative estimate for
the full day increases the weight to
1920 gross tons daily.
Experiments made at the Iowa Ex-
pertinent Station show that with ga
soline at "a cents gallon the cost
OF moving this tonnage over a dirt
road would have been S26.44 mile,
assuming the impossible, that such
traffic could be carried over dirt
road. The cost of fuel for moving
the same tonnage over a paved road
would be $1170, difference of $14.74
a day. On the basis of 800 days a
year the actual saving in fuel alone
for moving this tonnage would be
$4,422. If the paved highway costs
$4,000 a mile, the average interest at
5 per cent would be $1,000 year,
which, deducted from the saving on
fuel, would leave a balance which
would retireethe cost of the road in
less than IL years.
This calculation does not take into
account other savings in the cost of
ODorating commercial vehicles Of val
ue of the heavy movement of passen-
ger vehicles.
In less developed rural sections the
value Of the gasoline saved is reduced
in proportion to the lighter travel, but
the cost Of the roads is correspond
ingly reduced, and there is no doubt
that an analysis and comparison Of
the highway costs and the vehicle OPP
Grating cost in any particular case
will demonstrate the economy of i'm
provement wherever the traffic is suf-
ticient to call for any improvement
at ALL

WHEN BLACK CAT CROSSES PATH, SUSPECTS GO
TO PRISON; SUPERSTITION IS AID TO POLICE
Rr AIr1nnder Herman.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2o.-The terror
of the New York police force, who
throws the fear of the Law in ever
the most hardened criminals, Is Just
a plain, black cat.
Mig is his name and before him
murderers break down, thieves con
TESS and crooks bare their souls
None seems to be able to stand up un,
der his penetrating gaze.
Last Christmas n salesman was
beaten and robbed by a hack driver.
The police wers making little head
way with the case until they picked
UP n suspect a few days Ago.. He
denied n connection with the crime
and pleaded with such sincerity that
the authorities were about to let him
go.
Just then Mig came on the scene.
The superstition OF the Ill omen OF
n black cat walking in front of him.
broke the spirit of the prisoner. His
reserve fell AVA like a mask. Tremb,
ling he cried:
Take dat cat away, boss, please.
Ah'n tell you de truff, deed ali will.
All knows abs rolled a deuce. Jes'
looks dem eyes dere."
Nig's eyes had turned the trick
where a regular third degree had
failed.
A man had slashed his wIfe's face
with a razor. The police caught him
but he denied everything. They
grilled him and quizzed him. But
he was firm.
Mig was watching the performance
from atop of a piano. As the pris,
oner was being taken from the room.
the cat jumped down and crossed his
path. The man stopped short in his
tracks, and gasped. A detective quick
to grasp the opportunity turned gu,
the light. Darkness------except for
the two green CLOVIS which moved
about ever so slowly. With a moan
the prisoner sank to the floor.
Turn on them lights, mistah," he
moaned. "Ah done It'll All admits II
only take dat cat outa heah.'
1t was a triumph of a silent third
degree.
But such superstitions aren't con
fined to one class OF prisoners. Not
long a go a handsome young woman
was arrested for shoplifting. 1t was
apparent that she was no ordinary
thief. She answered all questions
with great self-control. AS she was
about to be led away Mig passed by.
All self-possession vanished. The
woman broke down Historically and
confessed.
Mig blinked wistfully and sneaked
off to find a mouse for luncheon.

the front in the discussions, but
coupled with the report as to a po.

invited into the cabinet. Lord
Roberts position regarding the league
which came into prominence in the
recent debate in the house of COM
MONS. is explained by himself in an
interview published in the westminis-
ter Gazette.
The statement amounts to a plea
that Lord Robert as a conservative.
could not vote against the ove
ment in what was practically a vote
OF confidence. He regretted that as
a result of Mondays division, his po-
sition would be construed. although
enormously, as against Intervention
by the league in the reparations

"The governments supporters were
practically compelled to vote against
the policy to which they were not OPP
posed" Lord Robert is quoted as say

our confidence in the government
were unable to uphold a vote Of cen

REAPs BENEFIT
OF COOPERATIVE PLAN
IN FRUIT MARKETING

As spring comes on and more and
more fruit is added to the daily bill
Of fare of the average individual, one
is tempted to investigate some of the
reasons just why certain fruit can
be obtained in Casper SO cheaply
while 1t is at the same time so far
from the market. One reason for
this is cooperation with the Califor
mia Fruit Growers Exchange, which
is today marketing the citrus fruits
Of its 10000 grower members on a
cooperative basis. This organization
is unique in hat It accumulates no
profits and declares no dividends on
the business transacted. its business
all being conducted on a cooperative
plan at absolute EOS The grower
gets all the money his fruit brings
less only the cost of selling.
The functioning of the Exchange
in distributing the growers crops is
n many respects similar to the
United States p~ostoffice. Each acts
as a clearing house providing facilI.
ties for gathering and distributing its
products, letters and mail matter in
n case, and oranges and lemons in
the other.
Representatives Of the central or
~ganlzation were first placed in the
principal cities of the United States
and Canada to facilitate the handling
of the growers oranges and lemons,
but 1t was later found to be more
body with representatives on the
satisfactory to deal with a central
ground than to deal with scattered
Individual shippers.
The Exchange Mt the present time
is composed Of 200 separate associa.
tons of shippers. The Exchange has
its W representatives in 81 mar
kets of the country.
