T a T- - i THE Automatic RoadAgent By WILLIAM WALLACE COOK Cow isUt, law, by Wilham Wallace Cook B5-5g.-,,.. .M I CAN never fortrtt Kllpton for the way he deceived me In the matter of that automatic road agent Up- - on its completion I "was led to be lieve the machine wag nothing more harmful than a motor cowboy, and when the mask fell my faith In my versatile friend was shaken to Its Very foundations.' That Klipton in a most salutary way was hoist of his own petard did much to restore the status uo ante of oar cordial relations. That I myself was involved aisostrousiy in his rescue from a scheme of comprehensive law lessness was of small moment, consid ering - the beneficent results of the aforesaid rescue. ; Great geniuses, I suppose, spin their glittering webs in the dark. At any rate, Kllpton's ingenuity when at high est pressure withdrew into some lair where it could be alone with Its origi nator. - I In the present Instance the lair was the rear room of our adobe dwelling in Matanzas, N. M. From that rear room came all day long and far Into the night a mellow "clink" of hammer on anvil, and against its closely cur tained window, struck sporadic gleams of a portable forge. . ," JThe while he worked on in mysteri ous secrecy I slaved at the printer's trade to keep blm in funds for mate rial. Bo great was my trust In his ability that I banded over lay wages every Saturday night without question. Whenever Kllpton showed himself be Was grimy ' with smoke and dust, grimy, but complacent "William," he remarked as we sat over one of our frugal meals, "the machine I am building is going to prove a ten strike.. . Money? My dear boy, we shall take in the coin band over fist . Today you are to give them two weeks' notice at the printing of fice." . . - , "Are-you ready to tell me what the thing tar I inquired. -. "Not yet In two weeks, however. It will give me great pleasure to in form you fully." ,f During the next fortnight Klipton surprised me by allowing me to retain my wages. On the night I severed my connection with lite Matanzas Mercury he took me by the band and led me in to the room where he had been labor ing for the last three months. : Before me was a skeleton motor car, small, compact little more than wheels and platform, wifh the necea- -sary box to bouse the machinery. But the car Itself waa only an lnsignincant part of my friend's amazing machine. Welded to' It and forming one with the vehicle was s monstrosity In the form of a steel man; not a whole man, merely the head, trunk and arms, bul't on a gigantic model the. half of a magog.. ; .' : This latter day centaur was a hide ous conception. ' Its vaououa face and staring -eyes sent uncanny shivers creeping through my nerves, and I turned away with a gasp. la each band the aemlfigure clasped a long barreled Colt's revolver. The steel arms were Jointed, and Kllpton was lifting them proudly and moving them this way and that wbea l turned mv back. - - "So that is what I have been putting my wages into for the last ten weekar T nxdalmed. nerhaps a trifle bitterly.

The driver exploded a yell, and the mes senger, quick as chain lightning, brought the rifle to his shoukler.

' : There are miles of our country roads upon - which no marked Improvement can be made nntll the bushes are first removed. Indeed, the thorough re moval of these bushes would be of great value to the roads in allowing the sun and wind to dry tne surtace eariy In the spring. When bushes are re moved the roots should be grubbed out and both bushes and roots piled neatly and burned ss soon as dry. .:-v'..T; Under no circumstances should they be thrown Into the side ditches, beck against the fences or upon adjoining land.

There are in nearly - every town stretches of road made up of several abort courses, snd before Improvement to undertaken on any of .these; all short sharp corners and curves should be eliminated as far as possible. Many of our roads present a crooked appearance, when In reality the loca tion is a straight line,, the crooks hav ing been made when the road was graded to relieve the builders from grubbing out a stump or removing d bowlder. ' If Improvement Is contem plated on a road In this condition, by all moans let a beginning be made by straightening the grade so that the flnlahed road win near me marns m good workmanship. By the use of a few stakes for lining up new work, road commissioners will. In widening roads, be able to make use of all of the old grade and bare a good straight road as a result .. ; a rwirlv drained' earth road will wear better if wide than when narrow, as the traffic will then be more evenly distributed ever the surface, and In consequence there will be less liability of the traffic forming aeep ran annus the muddy season.

Method by Which Every Maa Hay Bo nia Owa Surveyor. A simple way of roughly determin ing levels, and one which can readily be practiced by any one and, which has the advantage of not requiring any special apparatus. Is by means of a spirit level and a board with a straight edge.' The way to go about It Is this: First determine on two points the lev tig of which you wish to know: snd drive stakes, into the ground, Then lake s board with a straight edge and tack It to a tree. If oue happens to be available. In a line with these two stakes. Put the board at such a height that you can readily sight over lt and carefull level this board by moans of the spirit level. ' Then sight it over to ward one of the stakes, having some one' at that stake who 'will, by means of si small piece of paper, locate the point at which your line of vision cuts it In other words, -where a line, pro jected from your sighting board would strllie the stake. Make some sort of mark at this point and then Bight to the other stake In the same way and mark the point where the line would strike it By measuring distances that these two points are above the ground yon can get the . difference In levels with reasonable accuracy. For In stance, If your line of vision ha cut one stake eight feet from the. ground and the other one five feet from the ground, then obviously the difference In level Is three feet or, In other words, the vlofnlty of the stake on which the mark Is fivs feet from the ground Is three feet higher than the other stake, and you wllPhave a three foot fall from draining from thla point to the other.

"Do you notice anything particularly striking about her? Nothing, except that she is very well dressed? Xhars what I would say. - Now, Til bet you half a dollar that when she passe the three women walking just ahead of her all three will nudge each other simul taneously." ' The woman . behind - waa - walking faster than the three In front and she soon psssed them. The three women looked her ever from foot to head, then nudged each other with their elbow as If possessed with the same thought "How did' you know It?" inquired the friend aa the other pocketed the half dollar. yi- : "I dldnt know It" was the reply. "If X had It would have been taking an un fair 'advantage of yon to bet But was reasonably certain of It There la s certain indescribable something In some women's manner, appearance and carriage that causes sll other women to nudge each other at algbt of her. I couldn't teU you juat what It Is, but I'm ready to put up a wager on It every time.
