HERRICKS OF 1
It was Will llorrick who forced AI
via Herrlck Into the business 'hat
gave klm his alliterative appellation.
A little later the good people or Mcr
ival Township were uncertain which
or the two really was "Herrlck or the
Highways.' Alvln unquestionably
had the title first however, and it was
Alvin's money thai made the roads
the pride of Motivate Township and
the envy <?r till Hie surrounding town
ships.
Will llorrick had no thought of any?
thing or this sort when lie went to
I'nele Alvln to borrow some money.
Uncle Alvln had plenty, and Will was
his nearest of kin; in fact, the only I
one to he found without running
hack a few generations ami then Irnc
lug another branch or the family. So
Will could see no reason why he
shouldn't horrow a thousand or so.
His note could he put in Uncle Alvin's
strong box. ami ho would got It with
the rest of the estate when Uncle
Ah!n died, which would surely be
equivalent to taking It up. It was
much belter and more businesslike to
borrow than to ask an advance pay
mini op his prospective Inheritance,
and It was just as satisfactory.
"It all comes out of me In the end."
he explained to his wife. "If I don't
pay the note, why, there's just that
much loss to the estate, when 1 get
it."
She thought his reasoning good;
but Uncle Alvln did not. It is pos?
sible that the fact that Uncle Alvln
already had one or two or ills nep?
hew's notes in bis strong box led
him to take this view or it; at and
rate, he refused emphatically to re?
lease bis grip on any more money
at this lime.
"IM like to see some evidence of
your ability to make a little of your?
self," said Uncle Alvln.
"<)li, I'm doing pretty well," an?
swered Nephew Will carelessly. "I'm
Jogging along comfortably; but. ns
your heir, a good deal is expected
of us, and our expenses are higher."
"Who said von are going to In- my
heir?"
"Oh, everyliody knows that. You've
no one else to leave It to."
"Onarlty," said Uncle Alvln short?
ly.
Nephew Will Spilled tolerantly.
"Not all or It, Uncle Alvln," be said.
Yes, nil of it."
'Quite Impossible, "d break tho
will."
Uncle Alvln exploded wr.Uhfully. I
"You'd break the will?" he exclaimed. I
"Huh! You'd have a nice Job doing |
that! Where's your grounds?"
"Eccentricity,'' exclaimed Nephew
Will confidently. "Eccentricity Is
the outward demonstration of
an unsound mind. 1'eople are al?
ready talking Of your vagaries. Tnero
la already evidence of n.-ntal aberra?
tion."
"Proof!" demanded Uncle Alvln.
"Taxes," replied Nephew Will. 'You
are a scandalous proflgate in your1
dealings with the State. And you've
become a crank on the subject of good ,
roads."
'We need them."
"Everybody says that; but you're
tho only one who cheerfully pays for
then. You rebuilt the road from here
to town; paid every cent of Hie cost |
out of your own pocket, of course, it 3 I
only n short distance; but there arc:
a dozen people who ought to nave
contributed, and you never even tried ,
to have it done by assessment. Hut
you were Joking, of course."
"Oh, I wns!"
"I slia'n't object to a moderate sum
going to charity," Nephew Will went
on sereneiy, Ignoring this sarcastic
exclamation; "but It's absurd to talk
of anyti-.ng else. Bo reasonable, Unole
Alvln. I need a thousand dollars
now, and It's really only borrowing
from myself, you know. If I don't
happen 10 pay It, I get the note in?
stead of the money when you die; 1
It merely takes that much out of my
estate."
"Your estate!" thundered Uncle Al?
vln, stamping up and down the room.
"You haven't any estate, and you
never will have any! Ho you think
I'm going to leave my money for
pink teas and golf and devil wagons?
Well. I guess not! I'll spend It my?
self?that's what I'll do! There won't
be any estate when I die; there won't
be any will to break; there won't be
anything but roads?understand,
ronds! You Bland there and criticise
me for making a smooth run from
In re to town, when my (roller is the
only luxury I've got! You talk about
me being crazy because I like good
roads ami am willing 10 spend my
money to give an object lesson to the
Short sighted tools who live herea?
bouts! I'll show you! 1 11 make a
boulevard of ibis whole blamed town?
ship! I'll have people coming miles
to see Herrlck's highways. The coun?
ty will have the estate when I g0|
through, ami you'll have to get out
ami hustle!"
Nephew Will was worried by Ibis
declarallon. It seemed prepostcrouB.
Inn Uncle Alvln was capable of il. Be?
sides, the subject of good roads al?
ways had been something of a hobby
with Uncle Alvin.
"I'll have a conservator appointed,'
was Nephew Will's decision.
Ills wife thought this was nothing
short of an Inspiration; but the law?
yer thai Will consulted took a ulf
ferent view of the matter.
"The Idea of spending all his
money on good roads would certain?
ly seem to be evidence of mental fa11
ure," he admitted, and you and I
must remember that the good roads
movement has popular approval at
the present lime; everybody Is cry?
ing for good roads thai somebody
else has to build. Under the circum?
stances, there would bo a great out?
cry against Interfering with the mini
HAMPTO
CHE HIGHWAYS
I who wants lo build ihom; this mania
would s<-"'oi tu tho average iimn like
la heavenly dlsiioiisatlon; if lie was
planning to build hosplllll or alt gal
lodlOH, it might bo different; but good
n.a.ls -why, my dear sir. try him for
lunacy. Bontlineiii wouldn't permit
nn> thing islso."
A little Investigation proved Iho
Roundness "t IIiIh view* Privately,
many people passed jocular remarks
about his Incomprehensible folly In
rebuilding the road ko lown. bul He r,,
wasn't one of lliein who would publicly
admit that Uncle Alvin wasn't tho
wisest man who ever lived, and it
was especially evident thai the
knowledge that lie intended lo do
more road building would make them
the more outliuslnsllc in testifying
to this mental capacity and sound
ness.
"If he lives up to his threats." coin
plained Will, "the county will get tils
estate, just ns ho said.
"Or the contractors," returned ''i:i
wife gloomily.
"The contractors!" he repented
eagerly. "Itroekley Is the only one ill
the count) who does this sort of tins
Iiiobs as a regular thing, ami he gels
his stone from that hill nl tho north
i eml Of old doe Brown's farm when he
has any work to do in this vicinity.
But Bay! 1 wonder why I couldn't
go into road building myself. With
my advance Information, I ought to
he able to corner the stone market,
j and Uncle Alvin isn't going to kick
about prices when he starts out to
throw his money away."
The Idea took immediate posses
J slon of his mind, and he was not an
indolent man. He might not be :i
plodder, and he might he over-fond of
the pleasures of life fur u man with
a modest, income; hut he was not
I lazy, and he knew that Undo Alvin,
was preparing for his great undertak?
ing lu his slow, inotliodtcal way. Hn
clo Alvin was never in a hurry; bul
he was stubborn ami persevering, and
prided himself on doinj exactly what
he said he would do.
There was no trouble about Brown,
lb' regarded his "stone quarry" as
little Letter than waste land. When
anyone wanted any for roadB or
fauces, he came and got ii and made
ian accounting to Brown later, paying
a trifle for each load that he tool;
away. Ko Brown merely wondered
that anybody would be foolish enough
to buy, and quoted a low figure that
Involved only a Hilling cash payment.
"On such little things do great
I things hinge," laughed Will when this
: deal was made.
Nor wns there much more difficulty
With Brockloy. At first the contrac?
tor was disposed to bo overbearing
and .scornful. Hoad making was on?
ly a part of his business; but he
could see no reason why ho should
divide the profit of it With an outsid?
er, loiter lit* became inure tractable.
"1 own the quarry, you know," sug?
gested Will. "I've got the stone, and
Italians with sledge hammers, picks
and shovels can lie rounded up easily.
I guess I could make a good enough
showing oil Uncle Alvln's contracts to
get a man of practical experience to
go lu with me. and 1 don't see how
you eonlJ haul your stone and hid
j against that combination."
I "What's Uncle Alvln's contracts?"
; asked Urockley quickly.
I "Why. he's going to do the whole
! township the way he did the road
! from his house to lown?got the good
roads fever, you know. You can see
what kind of chance anyone else
would have with me in the field, es?
pecially when I've got the quarry
and can make a price that would
bankrupt the man that has To liaiTT
. the stone. 1 don't really need any
, thing but a steam roller to start In."
I "Why didn't you sny so before?"
demanded Urockley, coming down to
business promptly. "What's your
proposition?"
"I wanted a limited silent partner?
ship In the road making end of yourl
business?limited to that branch, yoii
know. I'll put In Uncle Alvln's con?
tracts, which are going to lie about
the biegest asset this concern ever
had."
Brockloy protested thai Will oiighl
to buy an interest in the business;
that the idea of getting OHO on anoth?
er's money was not fair.
"What's the use of buying a thing
with your own money when you can
gel some one else lo buy It for you?"
inquired Will, "ii you don't want to
go In with me on this job to pave the
township, I'll tackle it alone. We can
Just about name our own price," he
added insinuatingly.
"All right," agreed Brockloy. "ir
you make good."
Uncle Alvin was now "tied up
tight." as Will explained to his wife.
When he began spending Ills money.
ho would begin transferring a good
part of It to tho pockets of the no
phow he had planned virtually to dis
Inherit.
Hut Uncle Alvin seemed to he In
no hurry. Having brought his plan
almost to the point of action, he was
now thinking of the results of It. He
was a man of strong will, who seldom
turned from a decision once made;
hut be was not such a fool that he
could not change his mind, anil It be?
gan to dawn on him that it might
seem rather absurd to spend every
. thing tin good roads. Besides, Nep?
hew Will was not such a had fellow
?only annoylngly extravagant and
easy going; so he finally decided to
give him another chance.
"Will," ho said, when the young
man had responded to his summons,
"you annoyed mo the oilier day and l
spoke rather hastily. I've been think
Ing about that good roads scheme."
"Yes?" anxiously.
"Yes; and I can see that It looks
rather foolish. Good roads are worth
every cent they cost, nnd I bellevo
N, P11QEBI
In them; but tnero's you."
"Oh. I'm all Bight."
? null!"
"Don't bother about mo." Will was
beginning to Rod bis way now. "t)l
course, Nellie und l should like to
take a run over to Tails anil do a
row tilings like that; but?"
"Net with my money!" Undo Al-i
vlii broke in angrily.
"Not now," sabl Will carelessly:
"bill later."
"No, sir; not biter, either!" Uncle
Alvln was angry, ami truly it Is an?
noying to hear a man calmly plan?
ning what In- will ilo with your money
when you are gone.
"Of course, yon won't know?"
"You shut up!" roared Uncle At
vln. "I'm giving you a chance that
you don't deserve, and I'm ashamed
id myself for doing It. You quit s|.
Ulnitlllg, come down to the simple life,
and buckle down to straight away
hUBlhOSS, nnd I'll gel von back In the
will all right.''
It was a distressing situation. Ii
be got back into the will, he was
caught in a business deal that would
make trouble for him; 11 be put the
business deal through, he could hope
to secure only as much ol Hie estate
as would come to him in profits, lb'
mentally called himself a lew choice
names; bill only one course seemed
to be open to him, He had rurlher
payments to make on the quarry, ami
It was necessary that Hroekley should
he kept froth talking.
"Oh. I've got things going easy
enough now,'' he said.
"Easy? Too blame easy! That'.',
the trouble," cried Uncle Alvln.
"I never was worried about that
I good roads Mislnoss, anyway." Will
went on serenely. "I knew that was
only a bluff."
"A bluff?" exploded Uncle Alvln.
i ll show you if It's a bluff! Uy
thunder! i ll do it!''
"Too absurd!!'
"You shut the door from tho out?
side!'' ordered Uncle Alvln.
Will gave him a reproachful glance,
and then departed, satisfied that he
had had a narrow escape from dis?
aster. Uncle Alvin's obstinacy and
linger could be relied upon to bring
the desired result.
"I've got him going." Will told bis
wile, "ami now I II just hurry him a
little with the spurs."
For this laudable purpose be wrote
qtld sent the following letter: |
"Dear Uncle Alvln.? Let mo urge
you to let your contracts In the ?JfXv.
If you do not care for money consid?
erations, al least have a little regard
for the family name. Yon cannot have
the work done by a local contractor
without letting everyone know of
your folly, hill could be done through]
n city contractor anonymously, if
you are careful, there Is no reason
why the reputation of our family san?
ity should suffer, ftpmember that we
have lived long In this vicinity, and
that never before has anyone had oc?
casion to question the mental vigor of
a moml.vr of our family. Il would be
very painful to me?
Uncle Alvln never got beyond Ibis
point: for his indignation was so great
that he tore the letter up and prompt
ly telphoned for Hroekley to come
out to see him.
Then It was Uncle Alvln tool; the
decisive action that gave him the
title of "Herrlck of the Highways.' lie
ilid not bother about prices. Hroekley
told him that stone bad gone up. thai
labor was higher, that the operation
of steam rollers was most costly,
that, everything conspired to add to
the expense, and Uncle Alvln merely
tohi him to go ahead. Br?ckloy
sighed regretfully, for he had not hail
the nerve to add a full one bundle.1
per cent, to the price, nnd he saw now
thnt be might as well have gone even
higher.
The township went crazy over the
news of the prospective Improve?
ments. aa,| "Herriek of the Highways'
lived In the world of laudation. Olio
thing only disturbed him; there was
no further protest from Will. He ha,!
not expected that Will Would submit
tamely to this dissipation of the for?
tune, and he bad promised himself the
pleasure of many sarcastic irotorts
when 'the next protest came; hut
Will was strangely quiescent. He did
sarcastically suggest once that a man
who was anxious to demonstrate his
folly ought not to be content with
Improving only one road at a time, and
therefore Uncle Alvln promptly order?
ed work begun on another. Alter Hint:
Will became most anuoyingly com?
placent.
This was aggravating. If be could
not make Will show any anxiety, hair
the joy of the thing was lost, ami
that Will should so entirely change
his view was Incomprehensible. Un?
cle Alvln decided that he was "playing
off." In order to bring It home to
him the more strongly, the old mnn
Increased the outward evidence of bis
interest in the work by taking a more
personal part in it: be spent his days
Inspecting, suggesting, and helping,
even getting his coat off and mixing
with the men.
Finding him thus engaged. Will s:r
on a fence for half a day and crltlzed.
"Cheap job," scald Will. If you've go?
ing to do the thing, why don't you
do it right?"
Thereupon Uncle Alvin went in for
extras.
"It'si a shame not to pave the lanes
too,' said Will.
Uncle Alvin ordered the lanes lo l.?r>
paved.
"You're overlooking the cow paths,"
said Will.
Uncle Alvln Ignored this, bill he was
t becoming wot tied, will's complacency
[seemed to bo more than mere acting.
Still! for a long time Uncle Alvln kept
I steadily nt his work, and waited for
, some sign of distress. None came
'Then his curiosity nnd bis pride im
polled him to seek an explanation
of this strange course,
j "Von don't seem to care much as
'you did," be remarked when he im-l

"Oh, I care," said Will. "I hate to
'see you throw money away bo foolish'

ilbln'l have to split op tin' profit a with
outsiders."
"Whnl ili> you moan hj that: ask

"My contracts?' Unclo Alvin was

Uncle Alvin hastily rovlowod the
events of tho lasi few months, ami

"It's all tight for us to have a lit

Undo Alvin." Will worn mi el.ifully;
"but it doesn't Seem right to lot out

enough of this Country?'
Uncle Alv'lfi worn over ami leaned
against tho fence, Where ho oonversi ii
with himself for sovoral minutes,
"Will." ho' HRbl plaintively at lasi.
''you're no fool. I've misjudged yon.
Say! do you mind letting mo use what
little I need ol my own monoy while
I'm still living?"
"Certainly not," Will conceded gen

"Don'i 1? trying to lake it awaj
