And al waya be kept hla rifle pointed In tha direction of the worker. At the mellow call of a horn, he slid to the ground and called bis employee. , "8upper," he announced, laconically. They Died to the bouse, the stranger In front. An elderly woman met them at the door. -My Dw hand," the Devil aald, by way ot Introduction, The woman murmured something and led the way Into the kitchen.

But the stranger no tlced the boy, Troy, aat In front of the etove with rifle across hla knee and sever took bla eyea from hla face.

He caught hla gueat'a eye and chuckled: "Somehow I don't never aeem right unless I'm tot In' ol Delay." "I reckon there are aome pretty lough men In theae hills," the other responded, looking with concern at hla blistered pal nit.

"That' why you carry the rifle with you all the time," exclaimed the hired man. In audden enlightenment. The Devil brooded In portentou silence. Th other busied himself pricking with hi pocket-knife th wa ter blister caused by hi strenuous afternoon. "Hit' thla away," Ana fumbled, suddenly, "I hain't never harmed a soul whut hain't fust harmed me. I wants live In peace with my feller man, but thlnga baa happened, which they won't let me.

"I think you aald something about a bed," be sug gested. The feudist lighted a tallow-dlp and pointed to the steep stairway. Hardin took the light out of bla hand and started to climb opstalra. "Walt a minute, Dill." the Devil called. "Lets have ev'rythlng straight between us. W una la awful light sleepers an' mighty nerrus.

The next morning Ansa presided at the breakfaat table with hla homely grace. Hardin ate hearty meal, ex pressing hla appreciation by the keen ness of bis appetite. A gleam came Into bla eyea aa be got In the buggy beside bla boat and no ticed that the brown old rifle bad been left behind. The mountaineer waa by nature a taciturn soul and the law officer waa busy with hla thoughts, therefore the drive waa finished In alienee, A th train pulled In, Ansa reached In bl pocket "Bill," he drawled, a humorons light In his deep-set eyea, tli Good Book aaya that th' laborer la worthy uh bla hire"; with the word, he dropped a silver dollar In Hnrdln'a blistered palm.

The old man shook hla bead gloom ily. 'Tut hit back. BUI, I'm disap pointed with ye. Ye'd ought know me better. I don't true no man further back than a fust cousin an' I expected thla." "Cut that out." Hardin snapped tri umphantly. "Oet aboard." For answer the outlaw whistled shrilly. Half a doien loufors on the platform were transformed Into alert mountain men. They bounded toward the detective and surrounded blm with leveled revolver. Ante chuckled at the changed expression of Hardin' face and waved them away. "Y aee. BUI, they're my people. They'd die fer me like I'd die fer 'em. Ye bin buttln' In on a private qunr'l an' ye don't deserve to git away. Jump on yer train an' go back to Itoanoke whsr ye belong before I change my mln'.

Devil Anae Canflcld atood and watched the train disappear In the Kant. Hla thumb felt vainly for Ita wonted occupation; a look of fear sprang Into bla eyea. "Troy, Tro-o yl" he yelled, ehrllly. The boy ran to him, "Whur'a Betsy T" The lnd banded her to htm. The feel of the cold ateel reassured him. With a sigh ot relief he turned to his buggy, hla thumb twiddling the worn hammer aa a dog licks bla matter' ahoe. "Come on, kid; leaa go home," he drawled.

JOHN LISKA WROTE BEST ROAD ESSAY John Link a, Wisconsin Itaplds, Wit., wrote th best esaay In the 1U2 na tional good roads esaay contest for the Harvey 8. Firestone four-yearn' univer sity scholarship. The subject of bl essay, which told In simple form th epic ttory of a country crossroads, was "The Itelutlon of Improved Hlghwayt to Home Life." Llska I the fifth high-school student to earn thla honor and award. The contest I conducted each year under th auspice of the highway education board, Washington, D. C, Of which the United State commis sioner of education la chairman. It la atrlctly educational In character and In the several states la sponsored by one of the leading universities, or by the atate department of education. Mr. Llska' essay follow: Isolation I the primary cause ot the Ignorance ao evident In rural com munities. I'oor roads, more than any thing else, have forced the furm home Into a demorallxlng Isolation. The Im provement of highways, making the consolidated acbool aad social center poaalble, I Injecting new life Into borne formerly hopelessly Isolated. Bom life 1 broadened and enriched. Boys are willing to stay "down on the farm." Girl cess to envy their city cousin and to leave home for "the bright light." Just a few minute of travel, on a particular road leading out of the city ot Wisconsin Rapids, will convince the most doubtful skeptic of the value ot good rot Us and their Influence upon borne life. About two mite from the city thla road branches. One branch 1 called "tb left road"; the other "tb right road." Tbe left road la almost alway In a deplorable condition; the right road la hard surfaced. Tb home on tbe left road are dilapidated, tbe front yarda ecareely recognizable among the tangle of broken machinery, old wire and various other object placed "out of the way." The land haa been cropped until It la Impossible for even quack grass to flourish. The Stock, descendant! of aome grand dad's Scrubs, 1 now so degenerated that scarcely any characteristics of a high producing, profitable animal are evi dent. Can you expect the bny or girl to remain on the farm under these con ditions? Not one boy or girl living en thla road baa any education above the eighth grade, and very many have Dot even progressed that far. These young people, many of them lying about their ages, have bad to seek a "Job" at the store, mill or fac tory, Instead of completing their edu cation. Can home life be pleasant and happy where these condition! exist? Th road to the right leads through land allghtly more fertile, but more fertile only a a result of better farm management. No farm borne on this road, for a distance of twenty miles, la without at least one modern con venience. Several farma are equipped with every modern convenience, both In and out of the home. The esthetic Influence a good road exerts la very evident Often It etlmu latea latent self-respect into practical expression. These people are con tinually adding aome Improvement In an honest attempt to beautify their home surroundings. Through diversifi cation and rotation of cropa they have succeeded in bringing tbetr land to a high degree ot fertility, resulting In a more atable Income each year. They are sending their children to high schools, agricultural schools and universities. A better education Is teaching these children to realize the value of a true home. In a large measure, on the road to the left, the average farmer hat lost hla self-respect, hat allowed hit home to fall below the standard, and has failed to keep In atrlde with the timet. He la considered Inferior to city peo ple. Farmers, tuch aa those on the right Mad. are again placing the furm home upon the pinnacle where It ahould rest, "The True Home of Man." How necessary to that home Is a good Mad I What a relief It must have been to those simple folk In Wblttler's "Snow Bound" to have the road opened and the floundering car rier btVng the village paper to the door I The left road may be compared to the snow-bound road. Impeding prog ress, forcing Isolation. The right road may be compared to the opened road, offering new opportunities, new possi bilities and new happiness. The right road Is, In the true sense of the word, the "right road." We must build more of them. Until this I accomplished home life In Isolated sections will, In the future, simply exist; but when all Mods are "right roads," these same communities, theae same homes, will live. Much Road Building An Interesting feuture ot this year's road building la the evident willing ness of both counties and stntes to assume building through Issuance of highway bond Issues. Sixty millions of dollars have been spent alnce 1018 on tbe Lincoln highway alone for Im provements, and many millions more will be spent during the few years Just ahead on thla great 8,100-mile transcontinental road, which stretches from the Hudson river to San Frun Cisco bay, PORTI AND 1 vi'-'rtnLf CCSO1IU10U8 ItollM.

Give us a man, young or old, high or low, on whom we know we can thoroughly depend, who will stand firm when others tall; tbe friend faith ful and true, tbe adviser honest and fearless, the adversary Just and chival rous in such a one there is a frag ment of the Rock ot Ages. Dean Stanley. . Twine Had Same Idea. Probably the most remarkable and authentic story concerning twlna Is that of A, a twin, who bought a set ot champaign glasses In a town in Scotland aa a surprise for hia brother.

Another thing old Job escaped and It It probably one ot the reaaona be waa ao patient waa having someone come smiling around as he sat there among the ashes, scraping himself with a potsherd, and telling him Just to think the right thought and he'd soon bo perfectly well and happy.

In the second place, whether he thluks so or not, he certainly thinks those whom he flatters of consequence enough to be flattered. Doctor Johnson. Classifying Peanut.
