HONEYMOONING The only thing that’s come between Mary and Doug since their recent marriage in Los Angeles is Fairbanks’ faithful, shaggy pal. Extremely jea lous of his master’s affections, the dog was at first inclined to resent what he considered intrusion upon his precincts, but he's evidently become resigned, because here he is shaking hands and reaching an undet- standing with Mrs. Fairbanks. I DOUBTED THAT THE MARRIAGE OF CHRYS| AND CERTEIS WAS A FRAUD “Chrys ts an extraordinary woman fm many ways. She is more re strained and better poised than most ot her sex. But she i# buman enough to find some revenge for that mock marriage,” I told myself. Chrys bad bad many incentives for falling into that trap. Certeis was famous in his profession; he was no other woman. He was an idealist, one who ha dacquired his idealism after being a devotee of beauty for He was weary of haphazard and transient romances when he first met me. He had wooed me furiously—he bad frightened ma, in the monthe preceding my engage ment to Bob. And he had never stopped loving me. He had proved that a hundred times since my marriage. More than once he had seized some chance to tell me #0. He desired to gerve me in any way By marrying Chrys he conferred his titles and| casties—his most precious posses sions—upon her, and thus added his portion of grandeur to the family of the girl he loved. It all seemed quite improbable | when I considered the nature of| man; nevertheless, I bad to remind| myself that when Chrys was in| Mexico, Certets had caused Dame) throw her into a deep! i Camilla to Jown strange sleep in order that he might not be expected shower any tenderness upon I doubted that her marringe was & fraud.

GREAT NEED FOR ROADS Indiana shows the greatest pe centage of improved highways, 42.6 per cent of fis roadw being surfaced, based on the last available figures of 1918. ‘That there is a great need for good roads can be deduced from the in od tendency for long distance hauling by motor truck, and particu- larly by the fact that 60,000 employes of the United States postoffice depart ment travel 1,400,000 miles daily in| delivering mai! on rural routes. | SIX HUNDRED MILLIONS With an estimated 1920 production of 1,500,000 automobiles, the need for better highways is evident.
