 It is a Good Road
 When Ac state of Connecticut builds good road it has solid foundation. At least five sweating laborers of the New Britain Gas Light Co. think so for they are at tempting to put through a gas pipe in the north end of the town and arc finding that it is no easy work. A state law forbids the tunnelling oi the road, and it is necessary thai they drive the pipe under the road.
 The first attempt was made from tho east side of the road near the Worthington school in Berlin, About half way through a rock was en- countcrcd in the center Of the roa( and the point of the tool they were using broke off. The next attcmp was to line a hole mp with the on, driven from the other side. They drove the pipe through to the center of the read and found the sam' rock.

mysterious black bag. hated to
touch the thing.
~ Better take it upstairs" said
he, pointing significantly through
the window to the lawn beyond 1t.
I carried the burden upstairs and
dumped it on my bed. Somerf1eld look

worn indentation letters engraved on
the side Of the bag, "P. L."
Original owners initials" said Som
arield.
The black bag was not even locked
or strapped. It had a spring latch that
burst open when depressed 1t.
Somerfield looked over my shoulder.
We saw at first nothing but what hap
pened to be a mass of dingy rags. But
on one part of them there was mark
which turned me cold with apprehen-

significance of the broad arrow.

I pulled at the tough gray material,
but it would not come. Impatient,
Somerfleld laid hold of the bag itself,
away, leaving on the bed a rude parcel
made up in a prison coat. He gave 1t
q roll and it came apart.
Then we both staggered back, the two
most aStoniShed young men in England
that day. Wrapped In the prison coat
was what seemed to-uS to be priceless
and unheard of things, golden trinkets
with masses of jewels, rings, bracelets,
brooches, and above all a golden goblet
set so thickly with diamonds and
rubies that its bowl was well-nigh hid
den.
We stared at the display for q full
minute. Somerfield spoke first.

But it was easier to say get quit of

them.

the stuff into 1t.
What will you do with it?" asked.
Never mind Watch! The fellow
with the club is one of Laxton's men,"
AS he spoke, Fotherbury's head ap-
peared above the shrubs that lined the
little drive, and the next instant he had
stopped by the gate, pointing. His
companion pushed the gate back.
Hes coming in," I said to Som

Here's bluff, then, Grenofen. It's
about an even chance. But I'll take

he.

buckles of the camera-case.
My view commanded the lane from
a point near our gate to the place where
1t disappeared under the trees What
had excited Somerfield was the two men
walking up the road. I had them in
sight for two or three seconds.
One was young Fotherbury. The

Somerfield grabbed the camera stand,
tucked 1t under his arm and took the
case in his left hand.
The maid was coming through to
answer a ring at the door when we
reached the hall. AS she opened

"They tell us about our foolish

NOTES AND COMMENTS

"W1ork hard" is useless advice and
it isn't much as information
Meeting the family bills is usually
enough to take the "fat' out of ia
Their.
Most people can lose weight if they
were not so careless about putting
it on.
Most wise paragraphs are borrow
ed and most humorous ones are clip
ped.
We know that the radio has ar
rived when we see some tightwad
buying them.
Very often, our idea of wasted
time is two lawyers arguing a case
before a judge.
We really regret to say so, but
we fear that it will take more than
"pubhc opinion" to keep the nations
straight.
