HI thumb tumbled the ham

trick which bad worn tha steel smooth.
"So y want workT b drawled,

The man to whom ha ipok wat clad
In overalla. His tmooth-shavtn face
waa tanned darkly. Ilia upper lip bad
the peculiar puffy effect which be
trayed the tact that muatacha had
been sacrificed.
"Yea, I do."
"Wbur'r ya from? Wbut klnda

Th atranger met th eearrblng
gray eyes for the first time,
"Stranger," he aald, frankly, "to b
square with you, I ain't going to tell
you where I come from. 1'U aay this
much: I ain't alway worn these
kind of clothe and a look at my
banda will show you that I ain't a
laboring man, although I'm willing to
do anything that will pay my board
and keep for a month or two."
Th case waa not unusual. The
country la well aulted to the needa
of men who liar coma under the dis
pleasure ot the law. On one aide of
Tug river la Weet Virginia, on the
other He the Mate of Kentucky.
11111. valleys, valleys and more bills;
the landscape present a monotonous
raggednee which dlacooragea pursuit.
Ouce across the river, the fugitive la
aafe until tb alow process ot extra
dition la gone through with.
Ante fumbled the hammer of bla
rifle, alwaya keeping the muni di
rected toward the other.
"I'll take ye, furrlner," he pro
nounced, after giving him due consid
eration, "Whenever nil ye be ready to
go to work?"
"I'm ready now."
II picked op a bundle of clothea
and prepared to follow hla employer.
The old man wheeled Ilka a cat
"No ye don't I" he anarled, hla eyea
red suspicion. "Ye go fust."
Without word the younger obeyed.
At a clearing Canflaid halted him.
"Troy I Iley-e-o, Troy 1" he shouted,
hi voice resounding In the typical
mountalneer'a call.
A tall lad appeared noiselessly be
hind them. On hla shoulder vu the
Inevitable rifle.
"Want me. dad?"
"Fetch thla man a crow-bar an'
abovel. He' gulnta grub th pastur."
When th Implemente came, be set
the atranger to work In th gruel
ling afternoon aun, uprooting stumps
In th clearing. During the operation
be aat on the rati fence, aa emhod'
ment of aomber menace. With hla
head sunk Into bl bowed abouldera
ha waa never at rest. Ilia keen gray
eyea under shaggy brows darted now
thla way, now that; bla beaked noae
seemed to sniff the air auspiciously,
hla curly brown beard, shot with
wblte, failed to hide the nervous
twitching ot a cruel mouth. 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.
Ana played the part of host with
a hospitality bred In the bone of the
mountaineer. He pressed fried chick
en and squirrel and all the viands'
which constitute the highland menu
upon bla guest. 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.
The meal finished, the boat escorted
the laborer Into the living room. A
certain look ot constraint seemed to
leave htm a be picked up hi rifle
and fumbled the hammer.
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.
"Tbey'a five thousnn' dollars reward
far me In Kalmuck an' I barter be
keerful. I hain't one uh tlx McBcee.
Uy men know 'em ell an' they hain't
one uh 'am could croee Tug rlvar

theae bore smart, Jack dectectlvee.
They hain't notbln' to hender 'em
fruin coinln' to me, like ye done, fer
a job, an' waltln' fer a chamt to cap
ture me when I linln't on my guard."
"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.
"Them UcBee butchered my broth

They tilled him with laat) an' cut twenty-five
woundi lu bit body all on ac

wux meddlln' In a pvrtoiml mutter
wbut I Jus' between tb' Mclleea au'

II got up and fiteed bit listener.
"Wbut ye got to do with hit, Bill
Hardin? Wbut blanes la bit uh
yourn?" A vein of raillery ran
through hla next words. "But I for
got. Ye didn't come fer me, but Jus'
wanted a Job. Hev ye got enough oh
grubbln' stumper
The defective ant quietly In hi
chair, hi eyea half-closed. "Ante,
you've caught me with the goods."
"I reckernlxed ye aa aoon a I seen
ye. Hhavln' off a mustache hain't
much uit a dligulse, Hill,"
"Well, Anne," Hardin arose and met
hla eyea fearleaely, "what you going
to do about It 7"
"Ye know wbut I ougbta do. But
I don't want no trouble with th' atute.
Ye've et my grub, ye kin aleep la
my house tonight. Tomorrow I'll drive
ye to th' station In time to ketch
Number Four. But don't never come
back out here, BUI."
"Is that threat r
'Take hit aa a warnln', Bill. Ye'r
aquar' an' ye've got nerve. 1 don't
want nothln' to happen to ye In my
country."
The detective yawned. "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. Whenever
we hear a aoun' In th' night wa shoot
fust an' look afterward. Oln y walk
In yer aleep y'd better fnaaen th door
so' y can't open It leaa'n yt're wide
awake."
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 detective reached back to put
the coin In bla pocket Hla band
(lashed up holding a revolver.
"I don't see oy reason why you
shouldn't take the trip with me," be
remarked, cheerfully.
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'. An' don't never come back I"
The officer ahmgged hla ahouldera
and thrust hla run back In hit pocket.
"tiood'hy, Ante," he called from the
platform of the laat coach.
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

Purely Myth.
The belief that the tall ot a snake
after tbe head Is cut oft or the rest
of the snake la killed Uvea until sun
set Is merely an old myth. Owing to
the reaction ot tbe snake's nervous
system Its tall will continue to wiggle
long after the snake la otherwise ap
parently dead. But there It nothing
to th notion that It will continue to
wiggle until sunset and then atop.
Sometimea It will atop before and
sometimes after sunset. Pathfinder
Magazine.
The Dependable Man.
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.
R., who at the same time bought a
set of exactly the same pattern in
England as a present tor A.
Had Many Successors.
"Pinafore" was first Introduced In
the United Stales at the Standard
theater In New York city In 17S9. Mrs.
Thomas Whlffen was tbe original Lit
tle Buttercup.
Cannlballttle Spiders.
Fpidcrs were found by tbe Mount
Everest expedition 4,000 feet higher
than any vegetable growth. Tbe
spiders are believed to feed upon one
another. .
What Job Escaped.
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.

Flattery pleases greatly. In the

what he says to be true, but. 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.
