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 . He
hates lawyers

Elmore laughed heartily, and he was
reviving her drooping spirits when the
door opened nnd Jeremiah Parrlsh ap
peared holding a lighted candle lu a
silver candlestick. 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. If you are unsuccessful you will

Many Places
Named For
Washington
By ROBERT DONNELL.
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

In the city of New York Is Wash

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

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. Respectfully,
li. A. SUli U Uiuu.

For a water-pipe burst by the frost:
Get at a drugstore, or from your doc
tor, a plaster b andago two inches
wide. Hold ;it gin .a bowl of water
till the bubbles stop rising. 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. It
will lat long and' will not leak.
