brains as would, / could think OF no
way In which l could give Barley the
slip.
The position was this. / wished to
alight as close as could to Yorick, yet
not at the castle gate. Some spot In
the entrance drive would have suited
my purpose we'll. 1t had been arranged,
however. that the last three miles
should be covered as fast as ever they
could. Unless, therefore, left the car
before we approached the mouth of the
entrance drive, I should have to wait
until we had crossed the drawbridge,
and that would be the end Of my effort,
for I should be seen retreatlng and
Godfrey and Barley would follow and
spoil my game. 1t looked as though
should have to enter the castle and
leave BY some window or other as Pha-
raoh had done. But then there was al
ways the drawbrIdge. flooded with
light -.
Happening to glance at the mirror
the car was closed-I noticed the
great Alsatlan couched on the hinder
seat. 1t occurred to me that the dog
was there to watch me. NV decision to
cneat this surveillance hardened into
stony and vicious resolve.
One thing was In my favor-dusk

not Fastening, night would have fallen
by the time we came to the drive. So
my cousin had ordered, for though
think we all knew that the risk OF en-
countering Pharaoh was very slight, 1t
was Helena's presence that hoisted the
flag OF peril and made 1t essential that
we should omit no endeavor to keep
her person safe.
Again, 1t would have been worse to
have been In the leading car. The net
might have been drawn rather tighter
but that was all. My chances seemed
desperately thin. !.
In this state of mind spent the next
fifty minutes, smarting. And then at
last. a mile from the entrance drive,
the tail-lIght bore to the right and the
coupe slowed down and stopped by the
side Of the way.
At once we did the same-and, some
how or other, felt that my chance
had come.

on saving by this method of $780,

taking care OF 10000 workers would

The cost to private employers would
be much greater, of course, for private
employers pay better wages than are

They were breeding places for i'll health

up would shake the intestines out of any
automobile after while. From them
film of dust often covered the entire
town.
Two of the key streets there have
been oil-surfaced recently, and improve
ments are going on in others Benefits to
residents in that section are manifest
Not so plainly discernable to some men,
bers of the community are the benefits
for all residents of Ell Centre.

part of a community cannot help affect
ing the welfare of the entire community.
No man is well groomed just because
he has washed his face A town or city

One eyesore in a neighborhood can give
an adverse impression of neighboring
sections, no matter how beautiful they
may be. FL Centro by this rule pro-
crosses just as rapidly as do its com
