A Street Has
a Hard Job Now
Carrying the light, horse-drawn traffic of a
few years ago was one thing. Carrying the
swiftly moving automobiles and pounding
motor trucks of today is quite another.
How much of the trouble with street
pavement in your town comes from not
recognizing the difference?
Just as faster and heavier railway trains
compelled heavy, modern rails and roadbed,
so the heavy pounding traffic of today calls
for rigid Concrete Streets.
% Experience shows that Concrete pave-
ment can be built to stand any kind of traffic,
almost indefinitely, with minimum repairs.
Easy riding, skid-proof, hole-proof, per-
manent—that is Concrete.

to fit one to tjie man who had just
pawed. No one else belated mid
hound for the Eastern Express was In
sight. The president's order to the
eondjctcr and to the dispatcher sim-
ply ’.lad directed that Number Five
would rte one hour late; It must leave
In five mltiuios; and Connery, guldcl
by the Impression the man las:
through the gate had made upon hint
( and old Hammy both, had no doubt
that the man for whom the train had
been held wag now on board.
Connery went out to the train. The
passengers who had been parading the
platform had got aboard; the last five
to arrive also had disappeared Into the
Pullmans, and their luggage hud been
thrown Into the baggage car. Connery
Jumped aboard.
The three who had passed the gate
first—the girl, the man with the
glasses und the young man In the cut-
away—It had now become clear were
one party. They had had reservation*
made, apparently, In the name of
Dome; the girl’s address to the spec-
tacled man made plain that he was
her father; her name, apparently, was
Harriet; the young man iu the cut-
away coat was "Don" to her and
"Avery" to her father. His relation,
while Intimate enough to jiemilt him
to address (Tie girt a* "Toirry," Was
unfailingly respectful to Mr. Dome;
I and against them both Dome won his
way; his daughter was to occupy the
drawing room; he and Avery were to
have sections In the open car.
“You have Sections One and Three,
sir,” the Pullman conductor told him.
And Dorpe directed the porter to put
Avery's luggage in Section One, his
own In Section Three.
| The Englishman was sent to Section
i Four In Car Three—the next car for-
ward—and departed at the heels of
| the porter. Connery watched more
closely, as now It enme the turn of the
young man whose ticket bore the
name of Eaton. Eaton had no reser-
vation 111 the sleepers; lie appeared,
however, to have some preference as
to where lie slept.
‘ “Cilve me a Three, If you have one."
he requested of the Pullman conduc-
tor. His voice, Connery noted, was
i well modulated, rather deep, distinct.
, ly pleasant. At sound of It, Dome,
j who with his daughter’s help was set
j tllng himself In his section, turned ami
j looked that way and said something
In a low tone to the girl. Harriet
| Dome also looked, und with her eyes
on Eaton, Connery saw her reply in
| audibly, rapidly and at some length
j "I can give you Three In Or Three
opposite the gentleman 1 Just as
signed," the Pullman conductor ofi
fered.
"That’ll do very wed.” Eaton an-
swered In the same pleasant voice.
| As the porter now took his bags,
Eaton followed him out of the car.
Connery went after them into the next
car. He expected, rattier, ttinl Eaton
would at once Identify himself to him
as the passenger to whom President
Jarvis’ short note had referred. Ea-
ton, however, paid no attention to lilm,
but was busy taking off Ills coat and
settling himself In his section as Con-
; nery passed.
i The conductor, willing that Eaton
should choose his own time for Iden-
tifying himself, pnssed slowly on, look-
ing over the passengers ns he went.
He stood for a few moments iu con-
versation with the dining-car conduc-
tor; then he retraced his way through
the train. He again passed Eaton,
slowing so that the young man could
speak to him If he wished, and even
halting an Instant to exchange a word

with the Englishman; but Eaton al-
lowed him to pass on without speak-
ing to him. Connery’s step quickened
as he entered the next ear on his way
hack to the smoking compartment of
the observation ear, where he expect-
ed to compare sheets with the Pull-
man conductor before Inking up the
tickets. As lie entered this car, how-
ever, Avery stopped him.
“Mr. Dome would like to speak to
you,” Avery said.
Connery stopped beside the section,
where the man with the spectacles sat
with his daughter. Dome looked up
at him.
“You tire the train conductor?" he
asked.
"Yes, sir,” Connery replied.
Dome fumbled In his Inner pocket
and brought out n cnnl-ease, which
he opened, and produced n card. Con-
nery. glancing at the card while the
other still held It. saw that it was
President Jnrvls’ visiting card, with
the president’s name In engraved
block letters; across Its top was writ-
ten briefly In Jarvis' familiar hand,
“This Is the passenger”; and below,
It was signed with the snine scrawl
of Initials which had been on the note
Connery had received that morning—
"H. It. J.”
Connery’s hand shook ns. while try-
ing to recover himself, lie took the
card and looked at It more closely,
and he felt within him the sinking
sensation which fellows an escape
from danger. He saw that his too
ready and too assured assumption
that Eaton was the man to whom Jar-
vis' note had referred, had almost led
him Into the sort of mistake wlileh Is
unpardonable in a “trusted” mail; he'
had come within an ace, he realized, I
of speaking to Eaton und so betray-
ing the presence on the train of a i
traveler whose Journey Ids superiors.
were trying to keep secret.
"You need, of course, hold the train
no longer,” Dome said to Connery.
“Yeg, sir; I received word from Mr.
Jarvis about you, Mr. Dome. I shall
follow his Instructions fully.’’
