Here Is a Song of the Good Road
By ELI,A WHEELER WILCOX.
I AM a Road; a good road, fair and smooth and broad;
And I link with my beautiful tether
Town and Country together,
Like a ribbon rolled on the earth from the reel of God.
Oh, great the life of a Road!
I am a Road; a long road, leading on and on;
And I cry to the world to follow.
Past meadow and hill and hollow.
Through desolate night to the open gates of dawn.
Oh, bold the life of a Road!
I ani a Road; a kind road, shaped'by strong hands.
I make strange cities neighbors;
The poor grow rich with my labors,
And beauty and comfort follow me through the lands,
Oh, glad the life of a Road!
I am a Road; a wise road, knowing all men's ways;
And I know how each heart reaches
For the things dear Nature teaches;
And I am the path that leads into green young Mays,
Oh, sweet the life of a Road!
1 am a Road; and I speed away from the slums,
Away from desolate places,
Away from unused spaces;
Wherever I go, there order from chaos comes.
Oh, brave tho life of a Road!
I am a Road; and I would make the whole world one.
I would give hope to duty,
And cover the earth with beauty.
Do you not see, oh men! how all this might be done
So vast the power of the Road!

stir over slow lire until it ereams.
Then let it cool. Use it generously

not grow hair. Every wrinkle in vour

younger by quite a few years In a
remarkably short time. The eptol you
can obtain for not more than fiftv cents

GERTRUDE M.—l think hair on the

the cheeks is just as bad. Never cut

Mm pie sulfo solution is almost magic,
dissolving hair in a few moments and
leaving the skin soft and beautiful. It

other—you him nor him you. But he
did not forget it was your father that
first made the gum a real success.
That was the real reason he never let
go to the trust," the judge continued;
"that and his regard for this com
munity."
'lt must be an immense fortune,
judge, isn't it?" asked Wallace.
"The Consolidated people ofTered
him twelve hundred thousand dollars
for the plant and trade-mark."
"Yes; we know that," said Jackson. 1
"* . Wallace means aside from the
t j business."
•'Well," said the Judge reflectively,
"you see those trust fellows have been
so anxious to get the Jones Gum that
they've been making business pretty
warm of late. They knew, for instance,
that we had a fund for advertising, i
and they killed that fund for us two i
years ago with one of their shrewd
business tricks."
Wallace was interested. "How was
that?"
"Well, they sent in such a demand
on us that we added to the size of the
plant and spent the money for mar
chlnery. We thought it. was the pub
lic. We never realized that it was any
thing but a legitimate increase till
the smash came. They quit all their
fake orders. We went back to our nor
mal business, laid off our extra force
found ourselves with a lot of use
less machinery and half a doaen super
fluous packing houses on our hands —
and no advertising done at all that
year. Shrewd game, eh?"
"Can you beat that?" asked Jackson
of hia friend.
"Just shows you," Wallace answered,
"what chance a little fellow's got."
"None at all, unless he's got big capi- |
tal. That would have ruined a small
manufacturer.
"What did uncle do then?" Jackson
asked, and he lingered for a second on
that word "uncle." He was beginning
to have new ideas about both gum and
uncles.
"Turned everything he personally
had in all the world into hard cash and
put It bang into the business."
This waß somewhat startling. "You
mean that, aside from the actual chew
ing-gum business, he left very little?"
"Nothing at all. Well, I won't say
that, for I believe the plant dtd actual
ly show a profit last year. When Miss
Richards comes she'll tell you. She's
got it at her finger tips."
"Josie? Does she know as much as
that? What's her position in the fac
tory?"
"She's chief accountant, practically
manager now. You remember her? Of
course you do. She'll tell you all there
Is to tell." the judge explained, as
Dave came with the cigars.
Their mere arrival made both vis
itors nervous, and when the judge pre
sented them to Broadway he was glad
to find it reasonable to disclaim cigar
emoklng entirely and light a cigarette.
Wallace had no such excuse. He had
been smoking steadily since his ar
rival until within ten minutes. He
never felt like thinking save when he
■was smoking and there would be much
hard thinking to be done this evening.
But to smoke one Jonesvtlle perfecto
would, he doubted not, end all thinking
for all time, so he declared with
fervor that he had, already, smoked
as much that day as he was allowed to
smoke by his physician.
The judge chuckled as he delved into
the bundle of legal papers Sam had
brought. Then: "Here it is. It's a
long will. Take you quite a little while
to read it. Better put it in your
pocket and look it over when you go to
the hotel. And this other stuff we'll go
through later.
"There's some one at the door. 11l
•ee who it is. Mom's making lemon
ade and Sam's practicing his banjo.
Hear him?"
Broadway looked at Wallace with a
shaking head while the judge was from
the room. "You see? Nothing but the
plant. I've got to sell all right."
Wallace nodded in slow affirmation.
"Yes, but not at their price. Didn't
you hear? The plant showed a profit
last year without any advertising?
Heavens man! Think of that! In
these days!'' ,
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Broadway recalled his very pressing
needs. '1 can't afford to take a chance.
This ia Thursday. Pembroke said
they'd have to know by Saturday
noon."
"That's a bluff."
Broadway looked at him reprovingly.
"You don't seem to realize the enor
mity of the offense—l mean of the
amount, it's twelve—hundred—thou
sand—dollars."
'1 tell you to hold out"
"But I tell you I can't afford to hold
out. I—"
"Piano!" Wallace warned. "Mrs. EL
is coming."
And indeed she entefed with a tray
on which there were a pitcher and two
glasses. "Here's some nice, cold lemon
ade." she explained hospitably. Then:
"Did the judge go to the door?"
Broadway nodded.
; Sh® dropped her voice to a loud
whißper. "I put a drop of whisky in
the lemonade. The judge would have
a lit if he should find it out. He's such
a temperance crank! But he'll not
know. He never will drink lemonade."
Jackson smiled at her with full ap
preoiation of this tribute to him. "in
keep your guilty secret," he said aol
emnly.
"With me it'a sacred,'* Wallace
promised her.
She beamed on them and raised her
voice. "Well, If you want more Just
shout out."
"I'm liable to shout most any min
ute," Broadway promised, though the
thought of sweetened lemonade—he
was intensely certain it was very high
ly sweetened—was distasteful in the
last degree to him. even though there
was a little whisky in it.
: Mrs. Spots wood was distinctly nerv
ous as the judge came back, which
cheered the friends a little, for the
Judge had been distinctly nervous
when he himself had produced whisky.
But an Instant later they were divert
ed from this train of thought by the
judge's answer to his wife's inquiry as
Jo who was at the door.
"Someone to see you, Broadway,"
He was amazed. "Someone to see
me?"
"I thought nobody knew you were in i
town," said Mra. Spotswood, equally
astonished.
"Someone must have recognized you 1
on the street," said Wallace.
"Lord!" cried Mrs. Spotswood. "That
does settle it! Now the whole town
■will turn out!"
But the judge shook his head. Thia
man's a stranger. I told hlra you
weren't here, but he said he knew bet
ter. He knows the time you left New
York and all about it."
Broadway instantly considered Pem
broke. "Was he a tall man with erav
hair?" y
! 'lf you're thinking of Pembroke, it

Wallace knit his brows. He was no<
pleased. "Who the deuce was It?"

Lebanon Paying Interest

.Lebanon, Pa.. Jan. 2s. —By a coinci
dence most remarkable the city of
Lebanon is about to pay the final In
stalment on a $50,000 boost it gave
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway
many years ago just as the company
is now refusing to allow citizens to
walk over its private right of way and
has compelled Lebanonites to seek
redress at the hands of the Public
Service Commission.
While older citizens know some
thing of the circumstances in tlie case,
the younger generation of taxpayers
will be surprised to learn that they
have been paying interest for many
years on a debt that was incurred in
the eflort to help the railroad com
pany. When the road was projected
there was some dispute as to what
route the road should take, and the
residents of that period, of course,
made every endeavor to have the line
pass through this section. In order to
favorably impress the promoters many
citizens subscribed for stock indi
vidually and the old borough council
expressed its public spirit by voting
$50,000 of the people's money at large
for the same purpose. A public loan
was floated in the shape of bonds at
SIOO each. History records the fact
that the road some years later went
