The big fellow had waited in his tracks for the verdict Folly's eyes looked up into those of the parson. A thrill shot through his veins "It was no use, was it?"

"Oh. Muvrer Jim!" She threw her self Into his arms and clung to him. sobbing weakly. No one could ever remember Just how the audience left the big top that night, and even Barker had no clear idea of how Jim took down the tents, loaded the great wagons aud sent the caravan on Its way.

Most earth foiins u ' good foundation so long as It Is kept j dry, but when wet It loses its sustiiln , Ins power, becoming wet and Incoher i ent. When softened by water soil Is easily displaced by the settling of Uio road or forced upward Into any space ! that may exist in It. In order, luoro fore, that the loads may be uniform!. : sustained and the surface of the road : kept firm and even it is of first Impor ! tance that the roadbed be kept dry. j The Improvement and hiulnleminee of 8 road are therefore largely questions I of drainage, the objects being to pte j vent, water from reaching the road and to provide means for immediately re j moving such as does reach it before tho soli becomes saturated and sof 1 tened. Surface drainage Is always necessary i if the body of the road Is to be kept ! In a dry condition and Is accomplished ' by having the surface of such form I that water falllns upon it will quickly I run into the gutters. Underdralus will j not drain water from the surface of a j road, and unless the crown is at all i tlnies maintained and the surface kept smooth water Is likely to stand upon the surface and penetrate into the roaA. And this Is just us true of a gravel or stone road ifs of the earth surface. At the side of the road longitudinal ditches must lie provided for the pur pose of carrying the water drained from the surface of the road to some point where it may be turned Into a natural drainage channel. In many in stances these side dl'.ehes also carry drainage from land adjacent to the road. The size aud form of the gut ters will naturally depend upon the onrntltvN of water to be carried and the slope of the gutters. Where the is soiinM the extension of the slope of the road surface may be sufflcjent without any special gutter being provided. In forming a roadbed upon wjilch to place a gravel or macadam surface the earth roadbed should be made as firm and smooth as possible before the placing of the surfacing material. Wherever possible the earth after be ing brought to grade and given the proper form for receiving the surface should be rolled with a heavy roller until It is firmly packed and able to vleld efficient sirbport to the. surface.

Neither should the surface be ruined by throwing upon it the wornout ma-fi-til from the L'nrters alongside. Huts aud holes' should tint be filled with stone or gravel unless a considerable sod hm Is to be so treated, for If such material is dumped into the holes or ruts it does not wear uniformly with (lie rest of the road, but produces lumps aud ridges and in many cases results in making two holes for every one repaired.

A far more satisfactory metnoa when the roadway Is sufficiently high and where a heavy roller cannot be had is to trim the shoulders and ridges off and smooth the surface with the machine. This wofk should begin in the cente of, the road, and the loose dirt should be eraduallv pushed to the ditches and finally shoved off the. roadway or deposited, where it will not be washed back into the ditches by rain. . . . . . i- - -i..i...i -Ii J itt woud iil B . . . . 1 ... l....l.itt Iv nure-i-u la wmi You mul ( me mii-'hhh" Wt buy'cVRUS Nt 'III I- d.r! fmin iht dl.i llcr.-l... bonjlil it lur e K I Icl Ihrm Mil V..u fc.n,tihin tl.e " u.l t sJ; di.iiller Muv lh bi-M il' llif ihrrfi in h Ion ; run. l..illtJ hy ihe HilH"rt.
