and the state engineer provides, for
an expenditure of $70,000,000.
The cost and maintenance will be
met by the board of irrigation, high
ways and drainage, the state auto
mobile fund and the United States
government. It is probable, too,
that a small tax levy will be imposed
on property owners on the various
routes.
The roads have been arranged so
as to cover practically all of the
leading cities and towns in the state.
One provision of the bill forbids
placing of advertising sigm on the
routes.
The bill gives eight years as the
time in which the roads may be com
pleted. A Good Year's Work
"If the legislature passed this bill
only and then quit, it will have done
a good year's work," said Mr.
Powell, who is manager of Omaha's

"It helps the farmer, because it
boosts the value of his land and can
bring hiin in touch with his nearest

the business man, because it means

more direct dealings with the con

because he can make his purchases
more quickly and directly. And it
helps solve the great freight trans

"This measure will mean more
prosperity to the state than any
other measure ever before the legis
lature. It will benefit not only this
generation, but Nebraskans for all
time."

"VIRTUOUS WIVES"
CHAPTER I. Continued. ,
The great neglected field of South
America stirred his imagination, and
he sought a means of making sure
of the contract without offense to
his conscience, which was built on
the letter of the law. At the same
time, he did not intend to overlook
the possibility of another competitor
acting with less scruple. He de
cided to employ that classic method
of conversion, by which great indus
tries assimilate the fearless federal
inquisitor. He decided to digest
Argules.
"I need a representative for that
field, a very comfortable commission
he- can make of it, too," he said,
smiling. Instead of handling Argules
at this end, which was repugnant
to him, it should be a straight trans
action a retatning-fee and a liberal
commission. What was done at the
other end was not his affair. By
the time he had returned to the club,
he had passed upon a dozen bids
which he would be called upon to
offer or accept, appropriated $25,
000 for a test of a new Swedish sep
arating process, and planned a per
sonal visit to the Pennsylvania
foundiies, where a knotty question
with a labor union had to be met
with tact.
Back in his apartment, he passed
under the cold sting of the shower
and, glowing from a vigorous fric
tion, dressed rapidly while giving
his orders for the day.
"The blue suit, Gregory. Pack up
my things for over Sunday. Tell
Bingham the -car at 4. Better
slip in my riding togs; I might want
them." At this visit, the first of his
married life, represented to him a
social departure, he went to his bu
reau and carefully selected a hand
ful of cravats in dark; solid colors.
"A couple of silk shirts and, instead
of my riding clothes, put in my golt
suit and a brown cutaway that
ought to do " 1 He went into the hall
and returned to add, "And Gregory,
a pair of pumps, also." ;
. This week-end invitation to the
Dellabarrcs, at Chilton, was afn
event of such troubling importance
that he felt the need of superior
counsel. He passed into the great
tiled bathroom which separated his
room from his young wife's and, tip
toeing to the door, listened hope
fully. He had given orders that she
should not be wakened and yet hd
had hoped that just this one morn
ing she might-be up,' radiant and
girlish in ner 'pink panne-velvet
morning gown, giving a glow of
fragility and gentleness to the
breakfast table, to which 'for such
long years he had come with the
feeling of a lunch counter. He lis
tened, and then, concealing his dis
appointment, went into the green
dining room, where his eggs, which
had boiled three and a half minutes,
were waiting at his place, with three
newspapers and the morning mail.
He deviated again from his military
schedule and, approaching the white
marble fireplace, in which a gas fire
was licking imitation logs, turned to
survey with a feeling of still new
possession the heavy rococo walnut
furnishings, the massive candelabra,
the stout silver service, and the
flagrant red-and-white sporting
prints an assemblage which pleased
him enormously with its substantial
elegance. Standing thus, confident,
successful, and alone, before an imi
tation hearth in an imitation home,
he might have served as a symbol
of modern individualism. ' '

no lack. A -.decade - of ' boarding

that home was a sort of inner office.
Not that, in the background of his
imagination, he did not have a vis
ualization of another home, set un
der the shelter of whispering trees,
with memories of other hands on
olden sofas and reveries in the
depths of charred fireplaces. Only,
this was for the future. For the
present, he wished to enjoy, and to
enjoy in the richness of his youth.
He had the need of the self-made
man- to visualize his success, of be
ing seen, of parading the beauty and
charm of the young wife, whom he
had chosen, as he chosehis chef,
his chauffeur, and his tailor, with
the instinct to achieve the rarest.
"Decidedly I shall refuse. I have
enough," he said to himself sudden
ly. "In five years.vl should be a
millionaire but what five years 1"

determined to refuse waS'this: The
day before, no less a personage than
T. P. Gunther himself, organizer of
colossal enterprises, one of the three
despots of the street, in whose
hands lay the gift of a hundred for
tunes, had personally offered him
the presidency of the Osaba Kenn
ing and Smelting a vast property
recently consolidated by his inter
ests in the mining districts of Ari
zona and northern Mexico. The of
fer had been peculiarly tempting in
financial opportunity, but the condi
tion was attached that he should not
relinquish office before five years.
"No; I have enough," he repeated,
with a smile. But this extraordinary
and . un-American expression in a
country where the rich grow pro
gressively poorer was not as limit
ing as it appeared. In his content
ment, he embraced not only his
present situation, but that future
success which he could count upon
as his reorganization of the Cam
bridge Structural Steel made itself
felt.. ..
He established himself at the ta
ble for that trinltf oroeess of break
fasting, to which he ordinarily al
lotted ten. minutes 'ot ms schedule,
and which consisted in devouring
three or four courses while he di
gested the news of the day in the
headlines of two papers propped up
before him and sorted' his corre
spondence. From his mail, he carer
fully selected a dozen bills for Miss
Burroughs, the social secretary he
had generously provided for his
wife, who, at the end of the month,
would give him the total required.

voraciously through a third paper,

crowned 20 years of struggle as with
a monument and, to his vision of a
bachelor, they seemed grandiose.
"Now for the other side. Salary

was heavy; it was massive, and it
was gorgeous. A dozen eras crowd

his eye 'detected a vacant corner

with a sudden feeling of tenderness,
pride, and gratitude. His pride in
her possession was the pride of his
whole self-made existence in achiev
ing the impossible, and his gratitude
was deepest of all that at the crit
ical period of his life when emerging
from the struggle for power, at that
dangerous age when the self-made
man, in this first leisure, experiences
the temptation of a boy of 20, she
had brought to him contentment,
order, and security when other men
found themselves distracted and
torn by a life of dissipation. It is
at this point where, in his simple
faith, he saw an end, that the hu

of opposite sexes, the action and
reaction of one mind on another,
the conflict of wills, of instincts,
and of temperaments, was preparing
its beginning.
