The sura secured from the person and effects of the murdered man was over 300 In gold and rich and rare jewelry worth from f500 to 000 more. It was about ten years after his mis hap on the coaRt when Colonel Kenyon returned to England. On one occasion, as he was traveling through the northern part of the country, and night coming on, he was compelled to seek accommodations at a country inn. lie was waited upon by a pleasant, talkative girl, about sixteen years of age, who was dressed with more neatness than usually characterized females of her class. While being served, the Colonel noticed a peculiar charm she wore about her neck, and, on obtaining her permission to examine it, he was struck with the greatest astonishment at the discovery that It was one of the jewe of which he had been robbed ten years before, and still had his engraved monogram upon it. nis first Impulse was to seize It, declare the crime, and demand of whom she had obtained the stolen property; but he controlled himself and began to Joke her about the trinket, saying he supposed it must have been presented by a lover. This she denied, but he appeared unwilling to accept her denial, and finally asked who gave It to her. If not her lover. She replied that It was presented to her by her father, many years ago. Colonel Kenyon expressed himself satisfied and dropped the subject; In fact, however, he was far from being satisfied, and as soon as the meal was over be made his way to the nearest magistrate, and placed the matter In the hands of the authorities. Early the next morning the Sheriff made his appearance, and father and daughter were both placed under arrest A search of the premises brought to light several articles of jewelry which the Colonel Identified beyond a shadow of doubt The innkeeper was then examined, and at first denied all knowledge of the goods, or that he ever gave his daughter the charm which bad first attracted Colonel Kenyons attention; but when he learned how fully everything had been Identified, he became greatly frightened, and finally confessed the crime, with all the details given above, and the remains of the victim were found as originally burled. The man he had murdered was proved to have been the robber of Colonel Kenyon, who was escaping with bis booty when retributive justice overtook him In the manner described. At his trial the accused reiterated his previous confession, and was convicted and duly executed.

Dy this bill the export of objects of value Is absolutely forbidden and that of less valuable objects practically rendered Impossible for a period of two years, during which time the Government will complete and publish Its catalogues. The effect of this, says the Rome correspondent of the London Times, Is to destroy tbe most useful provisions of tbe new law aud to ensure the continuance of the deplorable system of clandestine export, which profits nobody but dlsbouest dealers. door and colled until some oue of the family brought out milk. Before the cat deserted her family, the hen would lead the kittens to a flat ledge, where the cats sunned themselves. The cat usually hunted rp the hen In the early days for a relief from an overflow of milk. Several times I saw the hen hunt for the cat when the kittens were hungry. When tbe oat weaned the kittens, the hen seemed to understand that she must look to the family for food. I noticed that the kittens ns they became older failed to play like kittens taught by a mother cat, and their voices remained weak and thin. In many ways they showed a lack of cat tenclilug. On the other hand, they adopted some of the ways of the hen, They would scatter like chickens, and would scratch In Imitation of tbe hen I did not see them eat the Insects which they found, excepting grasshoppers. Mr. Parsons was a practical man and wanted eggs, so he killed the kittens. If 1 had known what he Intended to do I should have offered to buy the lot for further study. I remember that I sent Forest and Stream an account of this case I think a clipping from a local paper. The Intelligence of tbe cat. hen and kittens, under strange conditions, was so evident that a dull observer could mt make a mistake. The cat reasoned that the hen would take good care of her family and she was contented, like some human mothers that give their babies away. The hen understood fully that the kittens would not cat the Insects which she found and reasoned that she must look for food In another direction reasoning. Forest and Stream.

This Is not the view taken In the most progressive countries of Europe. There tbe building and maintenance of roads Is one of the Important functlona of France, Germany and government. Switzerland are covered by a network ot the finest roads In the world. As h result the western half of Europe Is the pleasure ground of the world. Tbo revenue derived from tourists Is one of the principal sources of Income for people of nearly all classes. But with out these good roads, this revenue , could never be secured. The aim of the people In those coun tries la to make their grand moon tains, their beautiful lakes, their lively valleys, their castles aud monuments easily accessible by means of fine, hard, smooth roads. What a counast appears when we turn to our own country. We have the finest scenery-lthe world In the great mountains of the West, but It la practteatly Inaccessible. Except as they get glimpses of H from car win dows, the grandeur of our mountains and canyons, aud the beauty of our mountain lakes, streams and valleys are a sealed book to the general traveling public. And this will always be the case so long as steep stony mountain trails are the only means of travel beyond the railway lines. Indeed, much of our finest scenery cannot be reached even by such trails. If the United States Government, tn with the States and local communities would build great smooth highways, making tbe wonders and beauties of our great West easily accessible to tourists, lu a few years the tide of travel would bo turned west ward. Not only would millions of dollars spent annually by Americans In Europe be kept at home, but other mllttons would be brought to our shores by tourists from foreign lands. But tbe natural attractions of our country are not the only things which are made Inaccessible by tbe lack of good roads. Our places of historic interest are mostly In the same category. Take, for Instance, Montlcello. home and tomb of the Immortal Jefferson. Few Americans even know where It Is, much less visit it Montlcello Is only three miles from the city of Charlottesville, Va., which la on two great trunk lines. Why, then. Is It so little known? Because three miles of about as bad road as can be Imagined He between It and tbe railway station. One cannot travel over tbnt narrow, steep, rough, muddy country road without a feeling ot shame. At present an effort Is being made by a small band of patriotic men and women to build what la known as the Jefferson Memorial Road to make Montlcello accessible to the public, but only a beginning has been l made, and they are finding It work to raise funds to complete tbe A u up-htl- task. But after all the encouragement of travel Is not the most Important reason for building of good roads. They are absolutely necessary for the pros- perity and happiness of the people. The era of railroad building on a large scale la practically at an end. In tbe rourse of commercial and Industrial development we have reached a point where the great problem of Improving the common roads must be faced. We can no longer treat It as a local question. We have tried that for of a century, and In nearly every section of the country the miserable results are apparent. Tbe good roads problem will never be solved locally. It la too vast. It can be solved only by the genius, tbe wealth, tbe labor and the patriotism of the whole people. A great national movement Is nceessnry. In of the nation, the States, the counties and the loenl rommunltlea lies tbe solution of the problem. three-quarte- Islrjr Furmrri rs In Line, Secretary Chas.
