The Chairman read the amendment in

ing a change in the amount budgetted
under Maintenance, Municipal Hospital,

man, Frcs. sc 1926 is budgetted for Street

getted for Roads Some years ago mem
bers Of Council adopted an automobile tax
for the purpose Of raising funds for keep
ing the roads in order and for repairing
the machine. This seems to be forgot
ten, because | am constantly asked by
people to remind the Council to put aside
an amount from this tax to go towards
the repairs of the roads. | hope some
thing could be done whereby a large sum
could be allotted to the roads. There is
budgetted under salaries for the Public
Works Department FrC3. $500 as salary
to the Chairman Of the Road Commission;
the Assistant Public Works Officer is
temporarily acting as Chairman of the
Road Commission, and therefore this
amount will not be required. | will. in
view of that, bring in an amendment 10
transfer this amount to the amount bud
getted for road repairs.
Despatching Secretary (Shdmer) re-
marked: MIR. Chairman, the govern
ment is very much in agreement with the
remarks of the last speaker, but the Office
of the Chairman of the Road Commission
is a statutory one. and therefore the
Council cannot refuse to vote the salary
until the law is changed. | propose that
after item AZ under Public Works De-
partment be inserted:
ANY sum not expended under Item
IS (D SALARY, Chairman, Road Com
m;ssion) shall be transferred to and
be available for use under Item At (e)
Maintenance, ROAD Division"
The Despatching Secretary continuing
said; The purpose of this amendment
is this:-The Government is experiment.
ing by having the Assistant Public Works
Officer act as Chairman of the Road Com
mission, and until the trial is made and
the result is seen it is not advisable to
make any change. | hope, however, that
it will be possible to transfer the whole

Philip Veritzen's announcement of
his plan to visit the east end of the
island, with HE carefully stated rea-
sons for the trip, answered two
questions which had been puzzling
me ever since our dinner at the
mountain inn.
I knew now where he meant to
stage our next conference over the
problems he had brought back from
Europe with him. 1t would be at
the farmhouse or at some eating re-
sort within driving distance of my
home. could see breakers ahead
for either choice. Visions of my
mother-in-law's face at such con-
sultation rose before me with a
clearness at once ludicrous and
terrifying. And though I knew that
Dicky, because of the agreement we
had made concerning the conduct
Of our lives in this time OF estrange-
ment, would make no open objec-
ton to anything 1 might do, yet !
shrank from the covert hostile dis
approval which I knew was his for
any association of mine with Philip
Veritzen.
The other question which his ut
tie speech answered was the one
had asked myself when I purposely
told him that I thought the Lin
coins were Transvanians. Would he
emulate the frankness OF his son,
an reveal the fact that he was
Transvanian. already known to me
through the boys Ingenious conf
dence. or would he keep his nation
ality still a secret? By his remark
that he had had some little expert
ence with Transvanians," and was
much interested In anyone of that
nationality" l realized that he had
no intention of betraying the secret
he had guarded 80 carefully - for
what reason I could not guess.
Everyone who had ever heard of
him knew that he was OF foreign
birth. 1t was only the country from
which he hac come that remained
unknown.
I caught myself back from the
contemplation Of these two phases
Of my employers speech with the
realization that he had stopped

Mrs. Coyote lay hidden in the tall
grass back Of Polly Chuck's home.
Polly Chuck had run over to rub
noses with Johnny Chuck, who was
living in another house nearby for
the time being. The four young
Chucls had scattered in search of
sweet clover. It was very clear that
they didn't suspect danger at all.
Because they could see Old Man
Coyote far out on the Green Mead
ows they were unafraid. Johnny
Chuck and Polly Chuck were both
watching them. They had forgotten
all about Mrs. Coyote. II Johnny
Chuck had been asked about Mrs.
Coyote, he would have said that
she was over in the Green Forest.
for that Is the direction in which
she had gone when she parted with
Old Man Coyote before he had come
to scare all the Chuck family into
their underground houses.
Mrs. Coyote could feel her mouth
water as she kept her eyes fixed on
the latest of the four young
Chncks. She nit sure that she was
near enough now to catch him be-
fore he could get to the safety of
his home. But she wanted two, one
for herself and one for Old Man
Coyote. So she waited. hoping that
two would after a while feed to-
gether.
Now all this time Sammy Jay
had known nothing of what was
going on. He had seen Farmer
Browns Boy end Bowser the Hound

Green Meadows. He had seen this
b from the Old Orchard. Now Sammy
is always interested in whatever
Farmer Browns Boy does, so he
took to his blue wings and started
for a certain young tree that grows
in the dear Old Briar-patch. From
that he could look out over the
Green Mee dows and see all that
went on. The nearest way to the
dear Old Briar-patch is almost di-
rectly over Polly Chuck's home. As
Sammy was right over it he look
ed down. What he saw surprised
him so that he almost forgot to
keep his wings moving. Yes, sir he
did so. He was looking right down
