Wi ITU hi overcoat thrown over hla arm and hi hat and glove In hi hand, "Hobby" Tunatall atood waiting for hi bride. Th room In which he ex relied hi patience wa Dialing with electric light, which repeated them elve In myriad reflection In the gorgeou dlaplay of gold, iltver and cnt-glaa glfta itrewn about th apart ment In earelea profualon. Hobby re volved ilowly and looked about blra. Whewl" he nld. under hi breaths "k amull fortune In theraaelvea." He looked up quickly aa a (tep ounded In th ball outalde, but It wa only a maid, bringing In "Mia Laura'" band bag to wait healde hi own, and he turned again to hi ur vey of th coatly wedding compli ment. A magnificent necklace of pearl and dlamonda lay In an open caa be fore him, aud ha picked It np and tared at It. "Not leaa than twenty thonaand." be laid, and alghed. It wa long lnca be had held the equivalent of euch a aum In hla hand. HI mind rapidly reviewed the paat few month. How dlattnctly he re membered the firat evening Jack Tarleton had brought him to thla very room, to rail upon JJIaa Ttrldge. Row long ago. It leetned, and yet bow ahort th time since he bad readied that ha wa deaperately In love. How alrken Ing the qualm of eonaclence when ha discovered that be waa hla old friend' uccesaful rival ; how elated h bad been when th adored on promptly accepted blm. Bobby ws a generous soul, ( hi rapidly dwindling funds showed In the radiant daya that followed, and the few crisply folded bill which be wa Bow fingering nervously in hi pocket were th tola mean for wedding Journey. "Not a very brilliant prospect for a lavlah honeymoon." ha murmured, and again his eye fell on the glittering necklace. Whlcl of the Three Tricky 8lster udden' extinguished the electric lights I Only for two seconds, but when they flashed np again with a little atiile of renewed energy Bobby found the diamond necklace In hi Band bow, be could not telL A light step on the stair, and the necklace slipped Into hi pocket snd It case Into a convenient waatehas ket, while Bobby turned with a smile to great bis bride, who stood blushing In th doorway. Following a prevalent fad, Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Tunatall refused to dl vulg to family or friends the plan for their wedding Journey, and so It wa not until they were discussing their first dinner In their cosy little home one of the wedding presents that they were made acquainted with th loea of the necklace. Bobby turned white, a Laura's sis ter, Ague, told with dramatic effect the tragic tale, and I-aura said, giving hi hind a little surreptitious sqaeeta ander the table: "I really believe yon feel th loea mora keenly thin I do, darling." 1 am sure I do," laid Bobby. All thit evening the necklace hung about hla neck like the Ancient Marl bee's albatross, and at night It waa securely tucked away Into hi sponge bag, for, he argued, that would be the laat place a burglar would ever think of aearchlng for valuablea. Although, through skillful msnsge menf, be bad been able to bring the necklace home without pledging pearl for the purpose which had Im pelled him to purloin It, his heart tnk at th futile device of hi brain tor returning It to It rightful owner, At first h thought of making a Joke of th whole affair with hi wife, but when he learned from Ague th enor mous excitement the nistter hsd cre ated, and waa told that detectlvee were at work on the case, he gave np tkat scheme. A for going to Mr. Bridge, ha preferred to Imagine rather than experience a fnther-ln law' wrath. All night he waa tor mented by dreadful dream, In which sponge bag played leading pnrtt, and a Becklaca of millstone bnng about hla Beck. But the newipnper by hi plnle at break f sat brought him the first easy moment he had known for week, for In a prominent place he resd tills ad' verttieroent : , t.1,000 REWARD I Tba above reward will be paid, and no question asked, for th : return ot the necklace tnken on the night of January 10, from the residence of R.

Laura wn amazed at th chang In her husband' appear ance when b cams tripping down to breakfast. There, dearest I" she :clalmed. knew that tonic wa Just what you needed, You look even better than you did before our marriage." "I have certainly found a wonderful relief," sulil Bobby, solemnly. Mr. Bridge sot In hi private office, Immersed In a pile of correspondence, when th glased door opened sudden ly and hi son-in-law walked In with a breniy "Good morning, father. "Have you heard about the neck lacer wa almost the first question ssksd of th young man after tba pre liminary greetings. Agnes ha told na," was the an swer.- "But you ire offering too targe rewarlfl,2r0 will bring It" Mr. Bridge swung around In hi wlvel chair In amusement "What do you know about Itr h said. "What do you tneanr "Just what I ay," Tunstall coolly replied. "It's a little aecret-but It all In th family. Writ ma a check to barer for $1,250, and I guarantee that th necklace ahull be produced and lava yon $1,7501" Still wondering, the broker com piled, but with such an expression of Inquiry that, when Bobby hsd pock eted the check, he proceeded. In a graver manner than hi futher-ln-law ever had known him to assume, to make the mutely demanded explana tion, having assured himself that the door wai lecurely closed. "Though poasesaed of in ample In come." he lam. I nave always sneni a It came and not Infrequently before It came. It wa during inch a tut of temporary lurk of fundi that I wai Introduced to your houaehold. 1 assure you most sincerely that I had no Idea at that time of Tarleton' feeling toward iJitira, and certainly had no Intention of becoming his rival, and It was therefore without compunc tion that I accepted from him a loan sufficient to enable me to maintain a proper appearance In the eodal elrcl In which yoo mov." A soft whistle wa th father-in- law' only comment Well," continued Tunstall, "when Jack found that Laura preferred me he turned rusty, dunned me for the debt which now aggregate $1.2TiO, snd even at my bachelor dinner hint ed that I might be served with a legal process on my honeymoon. That wa on reason for concealing our where abouts, and It wa that threat hang ing over me together with an oppor tunity that fate Itself must hav cheated that Induced me to take tem porary charge of one of my wife' or namenU, which I now feel much pleas ure In transferring to yoo. I need hardly aay that, for the auk of the reputation of the family and the feel Ing of your daughter, It would be well not to tell how yoo have recov ered It especially to my wife." "What I that about your wifer In quired Laura, entering tba office un announced. "I wa merely (eying that yon would be delighted to know that your father ba recovered your necklace." Id Bobby, with great presence of mind. "Oh I bow lovely I" exclaimed Laura, aa her husband held It up. "Yoo know I scarcely got a good look at It on our wedding day. But don t go. Bobby," ah added, as he turned to leave. 1 came In to aak papa to turn the man agement of my affair over to yoo Just welt while , ha ha th paper made out" "Too might charge that $1,250 to th dowry," whispered Bobby to bis father-in-law. lona Fitly Known at "hlani of Ghottf lona, th green and grassy Island of the Inner Hebrides, Is n Isle of ghosts.

The Interstate system, however, on which state and federal governments have been working Jointly, 1 not more than balf complete, and sugges tions of curtailment of the general program for the purpose of economy have served to arouse public Interest to pushing on toward completion of the remaining half. In some quarter the question of constitutionality of the present federal-aid road program ha again been raised, which highway officials hold Is Irrelevant In view of the exhaustive stuilles that were made before the program was put Into effect In response to point raised, high way official In their itatement call public attention to the fuct that "there were those In the beginning of our national life who bad visions of Inter state highway a nation developera, for a early a 1803 the Cumberland pike wa planned by congress. Jef ferson, Hamilton, Madison, Clay, Cal houn and Webster all maintained a constitutional authority, as well ss the national need, for federal actlvltle In highway Improvements. 'But a short time after the con traction of th Cumberland pike It wa turned over to the atatvs, which likewise became weary and In turn passed It on to toll companies. And then for balf a century the much vaunted local control waa given most excellent tryout The result of all ot wblcb was that th only free public highways for year were those which were Impassable during the un seasonable weather. 'It was not until 1S91 that the state began a real program of road construction, and New Jersey haa th honor of being tbe first state to cre ate a state highway department Two years afterward the federal govern ment appropriated $10,000 to establish the office of road Inquiry, and for eight years It kept on Inquiring. At tbe end of that time the name of this office was changed to the office of public roads. The constant growth of state highway departments naturally gave a larger vision of the highway depart ments and In 1912 the congress cre ated a commission to Investigate the problem as to whether th federal gov ernment bad a real duty In tue mat ter. "For three years this committee made a thorough Investigation and finally gave a favorable report In 1910 the congress made Its first real appropriation for highways. Recent discussions on the floor of congress as well as certain public addresses and Dubllshsd articles would lead tome to believe that the congress had not made a thorough Investigation ot this subject Tbe personnel of the ronaress has changed greatly since the reoort of the 1915 committee. There are now but four ot this com mitteetwo senators snd two mem ber of th bouse In government service, who were member of that committee of ten. And en. It 1 neces sary to recall some things which wa supposed had been thoroughly established In tbe public mind." Trees Along Highways Will Not Injure Paving The planting of tree by Mate high way department anil by local govern ment subdivisions Is attracting much nd favorable attention. Experts de clare that If the trees sre set back far enough their roots will not Injur road pavementa. It was contended at on time that tree roots and the shade caused by the branches were detrimental to mod ern paving, but experience In many raaes now where highways have been built along beautiful tree-lined roads has completely exploded this Idea. According to tha A. A. A., however, Judgment should be used to the plant ing of trees so thst they will not act as wind breakers, particularly In th northern states In th mow belt Build Roads for Trucks According to Mexican representa tives the motor truck has awakened th necessity of Improving road In th vicinity of Slunla, which Is con Idered one of the richest mining cen ter In th land of tha Astec. Som tlm ago a road was completed be tweon Dlmas and Blnola. Th con struction of this road created unlim ited enthusiasm and tha outlook for the truck as a real factor In road building I "iy evident Good Roads Facts It need small effort to persuade the salesman who travels th rural districts In in automobile that an Im provement In the highways hs trav erses would result In greater earnings for himself. More calls per day, les sened repair bills, greater demand du to easier trips by the farmer to th store, alt these would swell his sales. . . - ssvfrTr;xr- PHPTI Alin VAViunni ALWAYS GOOD-MOST TIMES 1 0 CECIL 3.JJEMIUE"" PRESENTS It MMD OF 1926.
