Remember. please, that my niece has become en caged to you while on a visit to the city and, although she has known you for several years, you are a compar ative stronger to me. Now, you are a lawyer! I hope yon are a good one." The young man winced under the cool arrogance in Mr. Parrish's CLARISSA MACKIE. harsh voice, but he merely smiled as he answered, "I hope to f"ve to you some day that I am, sir." "Oh, you do, eh? Perhaps I will give you an opportunity now. You may be able to solve the mystery of our guest chamber!" "Oh, Uncle Jerry, that is not fair!" cried Mildred reproachfully from her seat near the fire. "Peter is a lawyer not a detective! No one ever solved It, and remember how many people have tried In the last hundred years." Mildred rose and leaned against the high back of her lover's chair. Elmore had not spoken. His keen blue eyes were fixed on the forbidding countenance of Jeremiah Farrlsh, and he noted a cunning little smile lurking about the thin Hps. "Perhaps Mr. Parriah will give me an opportunity of proving myself," he said lightly. "Just now I do not rec ollect ever having henrd of the Wash ington room In your house." 'Oh, George Washington slept there once the winter the nrmy suffered at Valley Forge. My great-great-grand mother was sewing carpet rags with her black servant when the two wo men heard the sound of horses' hoofs on tlie frozen ground. Always fearful of the coming of the British, my an cestress hastily gathered her store of silver teaspoons and several hundred pound notes and told black MIrandy to secrete them, while she answered the thundering knock which reverber ated through the house. "To her relief, it was General Wash ington and several of his aids, who requested shelter for the night. In the temporary absence of her husband she bade them welcome, and, delighted at the honor, she hastened to set her best before them. "She found black MIrandy cowering foolishly in n corner of the best room and half dead from fright The wom an could not recollect what she had done with the spoons or with the banknotes, and to this day their dis appearance is a mystery. "The great general slept In the best room that night, and ever since then the room, with Its contents, has been regarded as a state apartment. Wash ington was much Interested in the dis appearance of the treasures, and It is said that on the night of the 22d of February ho is often seen about the apartment searching hither and thith er for the heirlooms which MIrandy hid away." 'Terhaps you will permit me to sleep In that room tonight," suggested El more carelessly. "Certainly," responded his host grimly. "I will go at once and give instructions to have the bed aired and thoroughly warmed." When he had departed Mildred re sumed her low seat near the Are, and Elmore dropped on an ottoman beside her. The girl's sweet face was very grave as she slipped her hand in her lover's brond palm. ' "I wish Uncle Jerry had not told you about the room," she said earnestly. "So many have tried to solve the mys tery, and, while none of them will tell their actual experience, there is always an es trangement with Unelo Jerry aft er w a r d .

Tho light fell on his stern protilo for ono Instant, and in that brief interval Elmore's keen eyes sharpened into points of flame. "In a hurry to go to bed?" he asked quizzically. "Eager to solve tho mystery and claim the reward," laughed Elmore. "Ah, yes! I have overlooked that. There must bo a reward. If you find the treasure it is yours for a wedding gift.

ID It ever occur to you that the H II surname of George Washing' ton is permanently attached to more places In the United States than that of any other man? In fact; no name in human history plays so great a part in geographical nomen clature. . Were It possible to blot out all historical record of Washington his name would survive to the end of time in the plnces which bear it. One state In the Union is named for Washington. The capital of the United States Is named for Washington. Counties in thirty-one of the forty- six state are named for Washington. Towns In thirty-three of the forty six states are named for Washington. Several states have more than one town or village named Washington, the entire list numbering fifty-eight. Nearly every city of consequence and many smaller towns have Washington WASHINGTON ARCH, OATEWAY BETWEEN WASHINGTON SQUARE AND FIFTH AVE NUE, NEW X011K cm streets or avenues, Washington pnrks, Washington squares or other localities named for the Father of His Country. The states having Washington coun ties are Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indi ana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Loui siana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Ver mont, Virginia and Wisconsin. The states having cities, towns or villages named for Washington are Ar kansas, California, Connecticut, Geor gia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montnna, Nebras ka, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsyl vania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia,. West Vir ginia and Wisconsin. In the city of New York Is Wash ington square, a little park of historic and artistic memories, where on the one hundredthannlversary of Washington's accession to the presidency was dedi cated the magnificent Washington arch, the gateway to Fifth avenue. As new states are created new Washington counties and towns fol low. In short, the people of the Unit ed States have the Washington habit And who was it said that republics are ungrateful?

The other day at Fort Worth, Tex., the market was topped by a car of hogs which were fattened largely on rice, and the fact was one that roused much Interest on the part of both hog raisers and buyers.

NOT IN FAVOR OF ROAD ENGINEEK. Editor Courier. Dear Sir: I notice tlie Live Wires are taking an interest in road building and are in favor o the county court appointing a road engineer. Did they forget, or did they ever know tliat Oharles Moehnke built a piece of road (and mind yon, without an engi neer), what is now known as Mo alia avenue, which with a little more work would have been a good road for a hundred years or more But alas, we got a couuty court (Judge Hayes, Frank Jaggar and one lone populist) who believed in road engineers and engaged Sidney Sniytlie to do some road bnilding. He dug up the rock road Air. Uoehnke built and dug a hole in the ground, put back a few of the rocks after crushing them, and it has been a mudiiole ever since. And again Judge Mcldrum had 800 yards built by an engineer, too, mind yon, who graded np ten-foot side walks on eaoh side of the road with tiling in the center of the road, and it was a good piece n work, but at what an enormous cost. Most of the money was raised by subscription among the farmers from Maple Lane to the mountains. Ana again, Mr, Kinaird was mentioned. Mr. Kinaird surveyed and set tlie grade stakes on what is known as Buokner hill, and when the grading was finished his grade stakws were covered from six to ten feet, and no one will say the grade is not as good as Mr. Kinaird s snrvey. And again, I think it was Ernest Hands who set grade stakes on what is known as the wolf, or Ten O'clock Olinrch hill, and they were covered up about two leet or more. The second hill right above was grad ed without au engineer, and who will say it is not just as good? So much for engineers. Now if the appointing of supervis ors were left to the people, I think there would be soma changes for the better. At lesat some men who be- ieve in putting large rocks on tlie road and having the wagons orusli them would not hold their jobs ton or fifteen years. Now if,. those dead Live Wiies will saggist some plan, without creating more expense to the farmer or to tlie couuty, the people will be lieve they are sincere and mean well, but it looks more like a lew more two or three hundred dollar a month jobs. Now let me suggest a plan. Let all hose dead Live Wires petition con gress to appropriate a million or two dollars for eacii state for a few years for building roads. Jnst notice the amounts that are asked for rivers and harbors, to say nothing of battleships. But no one seems to remember that the producer or farmer needs an open road to get his products to the cpen river. Just watch the appropriations at Salem. How much ot it will be a benefit to the common people, particu larly the farmer? Possibly as we grow older we will know more, but to agree on one system of road building you will have to place it in the hands of the national government, and bring over a few of the road builders from the old countries, where roads have stood for a hundred years or more, and the main thing is to bring plenty of money with them.

Then at once wrap it a round and around the broken pipe, smoothing withjthe bands as you go. Thus you will make a splint similar in shape to the wiped joint which the plumbers make.
