CHAPTER 8
THORA DAHL stumbled out at the
destination ana viewed Brookvillc
through one eye. There seemed to
be no town. Nothing but a small,

hedges. At first. the place seemed
quite deserted. Then, at the far end
OF the long platform, she discovered

direction Of 4 largo trunk, apparently
thrown from the train that was van
iShing rapidly into the distance.
The agent proved TO be a wiZencd
elderly person who was mutterin9 TO
himself as he attempted TO rock the
trunk with one hand and, at the
same time. insert the lip Of the truck
under its lower edge. When Thora
arrived. she promptly slipped the
fingers Of her ungloved hand through
the trunk handle, gave it a quick
pull. then thrust it back against the
truck, very nearly upsetting the lit
tie agent in turn.
GOSH" he exclaimed wonderingly
as he adjusted his load. You got

"Will YOU please tell me whore

'Sure | can. What's a matter with

lowed the erect black figure, walking
down the platform with a swinging
step. Heck! You'd never s'pose
gals nowadays had any muscle.
Wouldn't want her to make a pass at
me.
He began pushing his burden in
the direction of the station.
Thora was glad to find the winding
concrete highway almost deserted.
Brookvillc, it appeared, was a section
devoted to country estates. She
passed several pretentiouS homes, all
oil hem standing well back from the
road, and grassy fields instead of
lawns lay behind the neat fences and
hedgerows. The country was green
and rolling, patches of woodland here
and there. Overhead q deep blue
sky, big white clouds burgeoninS.
When a chestnut mare, a gangling
colt muzZing at hcr side, thrust her
slim neck across a fence rail and
nickered softly. Thora Dahl quite
forgot the redoubtable Selwyn Marsh.
She very nearly forgot the cinder in
her eye.
She left the road and hurried to
the fence.

Elsberg Opposes
Further Bonding
For State Roads

Total bonded indebtedness of
the Minnesota highway depart
ment, including interest, now
amounts to $26,847, LOT, according
to tabulation prepared by N. w.
Elsberg, state highway commits
sioner. This debt runs from 1886
to 1852 inclusive and requires
payment from highway revenues
of more than 100000 a year for
IL years and somewhat smaller
installments for the last five
years. The entire debt will be
wiped out by the end of the II
years.
'In the past two years $11, ,150,-
600 of bonds have been issued by
the highway department" Mr..
Elsberg said. ''These will cost the
state $3,750,000 in interest before
they are retired. These bonds
were issued chiefly to match fed
eral highway aid. The legislature
reduced motor vehicle license fees
until the highway department had
insufficient revenues to match
federal allotments. Rather than
lose the federal aid, however, the
legislature authorized the sale of
bonds to make up the lack of cur
rent income.
"Of the total highway debt,
$48,640,144 represents principal
and $14, zoe, 1868 is interest.
"Bond payments now take more
than Is percent of the highway
departments total annual state
revenues. I do not believe that
any more highway bonds should
be issued until our present obliga-
tons have been substantially re-
duced."
