Chapman.) “Work at last.” _ The man who uttered the words spoke ip a satisfled way, yet face and manner showed a wearled, stolid un- dertone. He was known in the modest board- ing house as Cecil Wayne, but that was not his name. Nor were the bearded face appendages becoming to him. He wore them as might a man a disguise, because he had a deep secret to conceal, because he feared that after two years someone might stop him on the street and say sternly: “You are Ronald Warne!” For he was a man hunted, despised, tabooed; his tortured soul told him fifty times a day. After sojourning, almost in hiding, in a desolate part of western Canada, he had stolen back to his native country to die, he hoped; for life held no comfort for him, no'prospects, no ambition. “The past—dim gulf!” he breathed bitterly, “I hoped to forget, but I never can. - Work—work at last! It may lelp me to keep remorse at bay, I man of his former attainments—en- | at least fn my waking hours!” Ronal®*Warne, alias Cecil Wayne! How had it ‘come about that this man had two names? His quick haunting memory explained all too vividly. His thoughts went back two years, he & roving and dissolute artist, in love with a hunible but beautiful girl, the | daughter of the towerman on the Cen- | tral railroad’ near Bridgeton. For the first time in his roving life Ronald Warne had loved. The sweet, innocent ‘maiden he had wooed, Elsie Barker, knew nothing of his drinking habit. © Under the spell of her fas- cination he had honestly tried to re- form. Then one night, one dreadful night!— - * He had met her father in the little village, an easy-going old man, on his way to go on night duty at the tower one mile east of the big railroad bridge. He was with some friends, and the old man, having an hour to “I¥e Pist—0im Guifi 1 Hoped to “Forget!” spare, accompanied-them to the drink- ing place théy were bound for. His weak nature soon succumbed to the influence of' the untamiliar lquor. When it was time for him to go on active duty Mr. Barker was in a sod- den state of intoxication. Warne grew grave and self-re- proachful as he.noted the result of his recklessness. ‘He feared what El- sie might think of him if she discov- ered this flagrant dereliction from manhood and respect. The tewerman was in no condition for duty, yet some- one must take the signal post for the night, and Ronald ealled one of bis friends aside as an idea came to his mind. “See here,” he said, “I count on you to keep the old man away from the abl:c street and home till he ts so- Warne, trembling in every limb. ':uh:: came the dim echoes of & mm- in sthe bridge, igF ghese lat- i ¢t mad-of dis- tress. | Hatless, confused, Warne ran dow‘: from the tower. A man nlshe«'i frod the direction of the bridge, lowm\:rd. bound. He shouted to 8 person scu ding by him from the opposite direc- tion: “Qver a hundred 1 wreek!” mAmr that for nearly a week Wnrn':; 'a fugitive, half mad, haunted Wil | constant terror and remorse, uc?me knew what he did. He had slept uml; a train dashing by unsignaled, hl' gone down to wreck and ruin! Oh! he could figure it all out! & collision at the bridge, and his the blame, his the sinful, wicked fault! Then Canada, to hide far away from triends and the law, for was he not & murderer? And Elsie! an anguishing memory in his heart of hearts. Coward, craven, poltroon, Ronald Warne called himself a score of times because he did not g0 back and face the music like a man. Then a rest- | less longing for old scenes and back ! to a city where he was little known. All the finer artistic instincts of his ow. | nature were blunted and inert. Now, | ! after idleness, abject poverty, he had i secured work. It was cheap, unworthy labor for & rgin hotographs in the crayon lll‘nes—:utpit occupied him, it kept the wolf from the door. It was dull, monotonous work, but there was even more than he could do. The lonely room he occupied was & safe hiding place to which his work was sent regularly from the firm em- ploying him. One day there was a shock. In the dusk of early evening a veiled lady was ushered into the poor excuse for a studio by the landlady. “Mr. Wayne,” spoke the latter, “this is a young lady who sent some work to your firm and you have it. She is to leave the city tomorrow, and wishes to hurry up the order, it possible.” A great gasp broke from the art- ist's lips as his visitor cast aside her veil. “It is a picture of a relative,” she began, and then—"Oh, Ronald!” Yes, fate had thus strangely thrown Elsie Barker across his path again, for it was she—the same sweet-faced maiden of old, but richly attired. In her gentle tones was manifest inter perhaps something more. She stood rooted, spelibound. Then a pitying look crossed her face. He hung his head, self-condemned. She advanced and took his hand. “Ronald,” she fnlg', and her tones stirred his inmost heart—"“what does it all mean?” What did it mean?—crime! murder! He shrank from her, abject and crushed. vered his miserable story. “Oh, why did you not come to me?” she cried. “It was not your fault. The wreck was on the road that crosses ours just beyond the bridge, and was caused by one of their own broken rails. Our trains went'through all right, and even the truth about my father was not learned. Pool‘.' dear friend, what have you not suf- fered!” Innocent! a great load was lifted from Ronald Warne's mind. Like a child he sank to a chair, like a child he wept. “Father is no longer with the road,” went on Elsie. “Are you not glad— we inherited quite a fortune, and— and—" She paused there. Then their eyes met. Her face was pleading, tell-tale. When she went away from the dim studio, she left a kiss upon his lips, and in his heart—hope! Makes Chickens Grow. Experiments have been conducted for some time by an English expert in the electrification of small chick- ens, to discover whether the current exercised any influence on their growth. It is reported that the results ; have been startling. Not only has the ;morhllty among very young chick- !ens been greatly decreased, but the | birds grow nearly twice as fast, when “But what about the tower?" wgs !

Special inten- sive houses are provided for the birds, and the electricity is applied by means of a combined high-frequency and pos- itive apparatus, through a large coil of heavily insulated wire wound round each house in the form of a spiral. This produces a large and intense elec- tric field. While the current is on, the birds are highly charged wm; electricity, but appear entirely uncon- scious of any unusual effect. The cur- rent is turned on for ten minutes every hour from 7 a. m. till 6 p. m,, and stimulates the chickens, enabling them to acquire largely increased weight from a given quantity of food. = Their Longest Run.

Lakeland Auto & Supply Co. POLK COUNTY LDING THE “SAND- e OIL” ROADS — Earnest Effort Made at Sebring | To Test Durability of Much Discussed Material, i Much of the road interest in DeSota county centers at pres- ent in the so-called “sand-oil” Istreets being constructed in the itown of Sebring. These streets ];nrc being laid at actual cost by the Jandon Engineering Com- |pany, a Savannah concern that lis makig a bid for this class of work throughout the country. {The éxpense is being born by Ithe Sebring Company which is responsible for the existence of the town of that name. The cost of this work in Se- Ibring, despite the crude hand methods of heating and mixing, {is extremely low because of the existence of the proper variety lof sand along the sides of the ctreets, but with all other ele- ments of the work fixed as to ex- pense, it will be a matter of very small moment to figure the addi- tional expense of obtaiinng and transporting the sand to any given point. All the commissioners of De- Soto county, as wel las practi- cal good roads advocates from various sections of the country, have made trips to Sebring to sce this work as it progresses and to test the finished streets. Parties made up of men interest- ed in road work in other coun- tien, particularly Polk, also have journeyed to the little town on the ridge 10 get first hand knowl- edge of the material and how it is laid. Tt is a rcal missionary project in the mater of good roads. This road is laid on a plain sand foundation, smoothed and slightly arched in the middle. Two layers of combination ma- terial are used, each about th inches deep after rolling. leaves the finished road with a crown in the middle, gently slopiing to either side, not only orotecting the surface bue shed- ding water away from the road- bed iitself and protecting the un- derbedding fro merosion. _}.\'hcn completed the ‘“sand- oil” road closely resembles sheet asphalt, although a little darker fl_u_\n that material. It has a re- siliency that assures good foot- ing but is not soft enough for' {shod shoes with ordinary loads {to pull. to damage or to pene- trate.
