MojoF Reconstruction

The local division of the state
highway department has made
an extensive effort in the past
month, and the lower end OF

ly Construction firm to cover
main surface of the road.

loader, a crane shovel and a tan

the curves.
In other sections of the dis
trict, the local department is
maintaining its routine opera
tions in conjunction with the re-
surfacing of USR u between
Belle Valley and Ava. The Piatt
Brothers of Woodsfield are
widening the BERN on the newly
covered road and are adding ma
terial to make the sides as high
as the road itself.
Most of the construction on
the new six mile segment of
USR 81, south of Caldwell has
been completed. 1t was reported
that the approach to the nor
thern section of the road from
the older highway was finished
Tuesday afternoon. A black-top
covering was constructed for ap-
proXimately 120 feet in front of
the Wayne Davis property. The
new addition will make the di-
vision line a smooth one.
The highway department is
also working on a culvert near
the John Beatty farm on 146.
The district crew will assemble
new structure to replace an
old type concrete box.

His mind went away from him for a
while, and came speeding back amid
the hearty hoofs of phantom horses.
There were men in this fantasy: en-
emies who came to gather him in, and
all the time they laughed at him.
The mystic enemies said, why did
you do it. Jimmy Jameson? You amt

you were mighty charitable with what

They said, in this parched dream that

He thought that the posse circled
him, and then dismounted to pat Poco's
red-hot flank and to moisten Jameson's
own lips with cool, wet salve from
canteen. you're an awful idiot said
the posse. ''Here you are. Your horse
has got a broken back, and it looks as
if both of your legs is busted, too
Can't either of you move. Can't even
crawl Not even coyotes go out on the
Llano Diablo."
NOW he woke from his dream, and
he had the gun in his hand. Twice he
put the muzzle against his own temple,
and twice he fought successfully to
keep his finger from tightening.

Again the muzzle found his temple,
but the horse still looked at him.
Jameson breathed softly. "Okay,' he
croaked. He remembered something
about the Bible and merciful man
being merciful to his beast, but
Jameson would never call POGO

He inched forward, suffering horrors
until he felt the metal barrel sinking
against Poco's ear cavity, soft and
warm and silky despite all endurances.
BE seeing you, he said, and pulled
the trigger.
The gun jumped loose from his hand,
after it was over -.
HE DID not know how many dreams
possessed him, but not many; the night
came closer every second. And then
his ears picked out faint scrambling,
a sound of sliding gravel. Hoof rims
scraped the FURNISHED gray rocks.
They rode up, they were angels in

He opened his dry, cracked mouth;
his mouth had been open for long
time. but he opened it wider. He tried
to say, weekly, Posse"
1t wasn't posse. Jameson never
thought he'd see the day when he'd be

to him: but he reck0ned that if man

of desertion- nothing lived here but
Jameson and POGO.
The man twisted the upper part of his
body, and sighed. POco'S head lay
against the burning shale a few feet
away; when Jameson stirred, the little
horse moved his neck with the agony
of movement five hundred times
repeated.
How you doing?" Jameson wanted
to ask his horse.
