What Happened to Harley
Concluded

He regalned the curve Of the drive
without meeting any opposition.
There. slipping the pistol into his
pocket. no climbed rapidly up the
tree from which he had watched the
arrival OF the three cars. climbed
over tho wall. and dropped into the
weed jungle beyond. lie crept stealth
ily forward TO the gap whore no had
concealed the racer. drawing nearer
and nearer 20 tho bushes lining the
lane.
His car had disappeared
Feeling his way into the lane, he
set out running for tho hlghroad. his
footsteps ringing out sharply upon
the dusty way. The highroad gained.
he turned, not to the left, but 10 the
right. ran up the bank and threw
himself fatty down upon It, lying
close 20 the hedge and watching the
entrance 10 the lane.
A faint sound. so faint that only n
man In deadly peril could have de.
tected Il, brought him up sharply.
He crouched back against the hedge,
looking behind him. For long time
he failed to observe anything. Then.
against the comparatively high tone
of the dusty road. he saw a sill.
houette - the head and shoulders OF
someone who peercd out cautiously.
As Paul Harley had prayed would
be the case. his pursuers evidently
believed that he had turned in tho
direction OF Lower Claybury. A
vague. phantom figure, Harley saw
the man wave his arm. whereupon
n second man Joined him-a third
and. finally, fourth.
Harley clencned his teeth grimly.
and as the ominous quartet began to
move toward tho left. he resumed
his slow retreat 10 the right-going
ever farther way. Of necessity. from
the only center with which he was
acquainted and from which he could
hope 20 summon assistance. Finally.
he reached "a milestone resting al.
most against the ratings OF tho
Manor Park.
Drawing a deep breath. he sprang
upon the milestone. succeeded in
grasping the top OF tho high iron
ratings, and hauled himself up
bodily.
Praying that the turf might be
soft. he jumped. Fit tho he was, and
hardened by physical exercise, the
impact almost stunned him.
In less than minute no was on
his feet again and looking alertly
about him. Striking into tho park
land, turning TO tho left. and parsl-
telling the highroad. he presently
came out upon the roadway, along
which, under shelter Of struggling

There is no doubt of sthe fact
that we have, as Nation, spent
a great many dollars for road
miles which we have never seen,
and never will see. Building the
wrong kind of roads, building
roads in the wrong locations, i'm
proving roads which should be re-
located, allowing roads to be built
by those who know little or moth
ing of the work, are few of the
means we have employed to spend
an enormous amount of money for
comparatively little improved road.
There is less and less of this
wasteful policy of road building
every year, of course. We learn
rapidly by experience, we Ameri-
cans, although we are slow to
learn, as masses, the one fact
which every .bunco steerer, graft
Ter, dishonest politician, and spell
binder knows as his gospel, the
fact that we are the most easily
gullible and cheatable people on
earth. But even this fact is be-
glnlng to permeate our somewhat
opinionated minds, and wherever
1T finds Judgement we are COM
.menclng to- ask the powers that
spend our money for roads, for
what are they spending it, to
whom are they entrusting the pur-
chase Of materials for the con
struction Of the road, and by
whose authority is it going to run
from A to B via c, and not from
A to x via Y?
In terms of intelligence, we have
obtained in roads just what we
paid for. Now that we are invest
ing some real interest and intelli-
gence, as well as cash, we will get
some real roads.
AS the Government has more
money and more intelligence in its
spending on great projects than
any individual or group Of indi-
viduals can possibly have, it seems
natural and logical that road
building, by the Government, for
the people, is the next step.
Next step, or next step but one
or two, it is obvious that when the
United States does build its ma
tional highways, it will as effectu-
ally eliminate graft and inef'icien-
cy as it did in the construction of
our national waterway, the Pana-
ma Canal.

lie goes over among the powder
and paint and finds a chair.
Sprawls out, comfortable like? Oh
no! He sits up straight, listening
to the females on either side of
INN spring line like this: DO
you think Mrs. looks good
with her hair bobbed?" YES, she
looks ten years younger" q don't.
| think she looks foolish. She's
too old for a bob. How old do you
think she is?' etc., etc.
He goes over to look for some
thing to read or rather hide his
face In, and what does he find?
Vanity Fair, Women's Home Com
panion, Ladies Home Journal, How
to Run Your Kitchen, and some
OF the latest cook books.
1t will come to this and worse.
When the barber calls next" they
all fight about who came first and
who's in the biggest hurry, etc.
What does the man do? He snug
giles down into his newspaper un-
til they are all through and all

damsel and get a slap in the face
and an empty chair for their stu
pidity.
Then again one will say Single,
Miss" to some old woman Halter
and lose his head and maybe his
job.
But anything might be a little
worse. If you wait long enough
you may find a time when the
women have all left and peace
reigns supreme, the men talk fish
ing again, and the barber oils in
his gossip here and there. Then
it's great to be alive.
But do you wonder that the
men let their hair grow so long
and go unshaven?

Bodied Hair and the Barber

No! We haven't even cot the
barber shops to ourselves. The
women invade every place and ev-
erything. The sports used to he
for the men and the men were
sports. Now sports are for both
sexes and the women try TO be
sports. The clubs used to be a re-
sort for women-sick men but now
the women are members of the
clubs. What can we do?
Fall back on the barber shops?
No. You could Tin days gone by)
go into a barber shop, smoke in
peace, and hear the latest dope on
sports and politics and the like
But | fear those days are gone
forever.
Now instead of hearing how the
ball games turn out and how the
next election is coming you hear
oh! does it call for that much
butter in your cook book? | never
use that much" or Il had hard
luck with my last batch of doug
nuts. They were too heavy, Oh
dear!"
Ii the young women are in there
it's much worse. They spend about
half their time wondering how to
have their hair cut and the other
half wishing they had had it cut
in another way.
The BARRIERS used to get a
chance to express their opinions,
but now they can't hammer a
word in edgewise anymore than
we'll you know any more than YOU
%an argue when you argue with a
woman.
A man comes into the barber
shop with a scared look on his
face and takes off his coat kind
of sheepish like-oh you know.
Then he takes off his collar and
tie and looks around to find all
the women watching him. About
that time he wishes he had forgot
ten to dodge that last car that
barely missed him.

Home Grown Cabbage.

Many more gardeners would
grow cabbages if they felt certain
they could save them from the
ravages of the cabbage worm or
caterpillar, the green larva of the
white butterfly which riddles the
plants almost from the time they
get into healthy growth. This can
be done with little care but in
secticides have to be applied fire.
quently as the butterflies lay eggs
over long period.
Fear that poison may get into
the cabbage head deters many
gardeners. This can be obviated
by using some Of the non-poison-
Gus insecticides which are on the
market and which may be had for
the asking. Cabbages are a trans
planted crop. They are very hardy
and are one Of the first vegetables
for the gardener to move from
frames to permanent quarters.
While the cabbage fourishes
much more luxuriantly in some
climates than others there is no
section which cannot grow good
cabbages. Cool weather, plentN
of moisture, and rich deep soil are
ideal conditions for the develop
ment of the cabbage, caulifower,
brussels sprouts, and other mem
bers of the family. The cool wea-
ther cannot be furnished to order
but the deep rich soil and the
moisture can be had in the home
garden.
Cabbage soil should be manur-
! ed literally 1t is a deep rooter
and heavy feeder and little nj
trate of soda in the bottom of the
furrow when the plants are set
out is fine starter and a spoon
full to a plant applied few times
during the season will work Won
ders. The solution must be at least
an inch from the stem SO that
none of it will touch the plant.
There are three types and three
shapes of cabbage, the shapes not
corresponding to the type, early,
midseason, and late, and conical,
fiat and round. Then there is the
Savory or crinkled dark green
leaved variety, ideal for immed-
late use from the home garden as
is it not a long keeper like other
varieties but of the very finest
quality.
No vegetable repays good cult
walton so readily as the cabbage.
In the warmer sections the most
successful crops are the late cab
bages which may mature in the
cool fall weather. The late cab
bage and the larger kinds need
three feet of space, the earlier
sorts can be set from Is to "a
inches apart.
