CHAPTER TX
Poker Face and a White
Pigeon.

Mrs. Simpson had made a discovery.
Il was epoch-making. 1t was tremen-
dous. Nothing short of that! SO, at
the very least, Mrs. Simpson was pre-
pared to maintain stoutly in the face
of possible ridicule.
One morning, very early, Mrs. Simp-
son, from the thick curtains Of the liv-
ing room, saw Jose "prowling around
s~uspiciOus-like in the courtyard !" She
had sensed Jose's dislike, and thrilled
at the sight. She always thrilled to
Jose. The half-breed had gone silent
ly, "sneaking-like," by Judith's outer
door. He had paused there, listening.
He had gone back to the courtyard.
hesitating, pretending that he was
looking at the roses! Such a ruse on
the part Of so black-hearted a villain
inspired in the scarcely breathing Mrs.
Simpson a vast disgust. AS If he
could fool her like that, pottering
around among the roses.
She, too. sought to move silently in
his wake, though under her ample
weight the veranda creaked audihly.
Still, making less noise than usual,
she peered through the lilacs. She
saw Jose at the base of the knoll, go
ing swiftly toward the stables. She
saw another man who, evidently, was
a third of the gang" and who, of
course, had risen early to creep out of
the mems clubhouse before the others
were awake, to meet Jose.
Screening herself behind the lilacs,
her heart %throbbing as it had not done
for many a long year, she watched.
Jose and the other man did not meet.
Jose stopped. The two exchanged a few
words too low for Mrs. Simpson to hear
at that distance. But she made out that
the other man had something in his
hand, something white. A pigeon

tense. The men on the ranch

When they left the cabin, an hour
later, Judith challenged Hampton to
a ride and so left Marcia and Bud Lee
to follow leisurely.

quietly.

and numerous small bridges, in addi-

With the same transportation facil-
tiles there is not much variation in
the cost OF the same type of paving as
between the different States, but grad
ing costs rise and fall in different To-
callties, like the temperature chart OF
patient with chills and fever.
On the sandy plains of the South
west, grading costs are almost moth
ing. In any comparatively level or
rolling country they are low. In hilly
country they advance rapidly, and in
mountainous regions reach their maxi
mum. Thus no definite figures as tc
grading costs can be given.
From 1917 up to March /, of the
present year, the Federal Government
had helped to build 33,O36 miles O
completed roads. These roads in
clude all of the leading types and ar,
distributed among all of the forty
eight states. On this work the aver
age cost of grading was $7.658 pc
mile.
Up to the first of March, of thi
year, the average cost of all road i'm

shown by the Federal report wa
$z5,5o2.69 a mile, SO that the everag
cost of road making, exclusive o
grading, was thus $17,9O46o per mile
Grading may thus roughly be statec
to cost slightly more than one-fourtl
OF the total price per mile of road.
