i;.M^ liartkopf was a farmer by pro-
ft‘Sii'«u and a lVnnsylvania Dutchman
by » a: action. lit* wus a widower, and
bis daughter, Katrina, waa the head
of bia house- that ia, it* feminine bead,
for old liana waa emphatically lord and
master. Ilia will was law, and from his
judgn.euts there was no appeal.
Katrina was the belle of the country-
aide. Of ull Katrina’» admirers Karl
Vceder was the only one upon whom
Mr. liartkopf looked at all encouraging­
ly-
T o tell the truth, Mr. liartkopf had
ia;t his heart on buying Karl for u aon-
iu-law\ and one day the subject was
broached
between
the
father
and
daughter, the former expressing his
wish, or rather command, against which
the latter rebelled outright.
Katrina hod. or fancied she had, two
good reasons for her conduct,
lu the
hist place she didn't love Karl Veeder,
and this she told her father plump and
plain. Next, but this she kept to her­
self. she did love John Greer, a strap­
ping, handsome youth, who was her fa­
ther’s foreman.
Lawyer Kaufbrief wus called in to
draft old Hans’ will, which run to this
effect: If Katrina married in her father’s
lifetime without his consent or fulled to
marry Karl Veeder, provided he pro­
posed within a year after the testator’s
deuth, all the latter’a property wus to go
to Karl without reserve.
In the course of time business requir­
ed Mr. liartkopf to make a trip to the
city, quite a journey for old liana and
one he was very loath to undertake.
John Greer drove him to the stution,
where Karl Veeder was in waiting to bid
goodby to his father-in-law presump­
tive.
“ Take this,” said Karl, putting some­
thing In the old gentleman’s hand. " A
few drops of it before going to bed is
a sure preventive of rheumatism.”
Karl Veeder had sought to pay this
little attention uuobscrved, but John
Greer, who was minding the horses
hard by, had quick eyes aud ears.
A fter seeing his employer off John
hurried home with the team and then
ran at fall speed to u spot where a
secluded path penetrated a dense thick­
et. lie had chanced to pass that way
in the early morniug aud had caught
sight of Karl Veeder partially concealed
among the bushes with a small vial in
his hand, from which he was apparently
picking a paper label, the fragments of
which he threw away.
Carefully searching among the dead
leaves on the ground, John Greer found a
number o f small pieces o f paper. These
he collected aud then, with the patience
o f one solving a Chinese puzzle, put
them together.
W ith uu exclamation of horror be
started back. Then taking out his pock-
etbook with trembling lingers he thrust
the paper fragments into one o f its folds
and ran without halting to the railway
statiou. Another city bound train had
just stopped, and In a few minutes John
was aboard and off.
Farmer liartk op f had expected to
■pend several days in the city, and Karl
Veeder called over the evening after her
father’s departure to have a quiet chat
with Katrina, who, in deference to the
farmer’s order*», didn’t dare to be quite
rude to K a il much as she despised him.
K arl was artfully maneuvering to
turn the conversation into u channel
Tghlcb Katrinn was as artfully avoiding
when without wanting in bustled old
Hans with John Greer at his heels.
Veeder looked both startled and sur­
prised.
“ Vot you call dot. hey?” shouted the
excited farmer, thrusting a vial under
K arl's nose.
” 1—1 do not understand you,” the lat­
ter stammered.
“ Dot uiet-cine you g if me yesterday—
▼ot you call him, hey?"
“ I assure you, sir.” said Karl, “ it is
quite hurmless and would have done you
much good.”
“ Y a —uo doubt.
Subbose you dake
vou leetle trop?”
Veeder drew back quickly.
“ I do not need it,” he answered eva­
sively. ” 1 am not afflicted with rheu­
matism.”
“ And never vill pe if you’ ll dake von
leetle trop o’ dess. Vy, I’ ve had It ex­
amined by von o’ deni metical pig pugs
down lu Philadelphy, aud he say»—vot
did he call it, Chonny?”
“ Prussic acid,” said John Greer,
“ which is also the uame on the lubcl,
the pieces of which 1 picked up where 1
saw you scatter them in the thicket yes­
terday.”
“ You see, it’ » all out,” resumed the
farmer. “ You thought nopoty seed you
ven you fir me dot stuff, and I'd take it
goln to pet and pe found toad in de
uiornin. Den de doctors vould schmell
te pottle, rip up de gorpae aud say It had
killed itself mit plzon.
“ Now, Karl Veeder." resumed the
farmer after n pause for breath, “ I ’ m
goiti to do two t’ lugs— first, purn dot vill
and den kick you out.”
Rut Karl didn't wait for either, nor
was his fnee ever seen in that country
UgH ill.
“ Katrina." said the farmer while the
will was biasing In the grate, “ Chonny
Cheer dells me dot he lofea you and

It was the English engineer Mac­
adam who t&ught the French to con­
struct their m odem roads.
It was
form erly thought necessary to build a
foundation o f large »tone», then of
each extrem ity o f this foundatiou U j
place upright stones which protruded,
the whole form ing a sort o f casing
which loclosed nil the small cut stoues
that formed the road, which were bro-
keu and smoothed over with the
w eight o f the ldhds driven over them.
M. Duraud-Claye says In his book that
these roads were detestable. Although
some of them above the foundation
were almost tw o feet thick, deep ruts
Impeded the circulation. From time to
time the corvees, statute laborers, came
to fill the ruts aud holes, but as tbe
drivers objected
to run n lug their
wheel* over the uew stones they would
pass next to them aud would soon
make new ruts which were as deep as
the first
The principal obj^*ct In Macadam’ s
reform wras to condemn the foundation
o f large stones, lit* demonstrated that
It was useless. H e showed that if the
materials o f the road proper were cut
fine enough to equally spread the
pressure upon the Itottom o f the casing
and the road be sufficiently impermea­
ble to throw to tl\p sides all the water
that would fall upon its surface the
thickness o f the small cut stones would
be sufficient for all purposes.
T b e new system 's success was the
greater that it added economy to sim-
nllcity o f construction.
