gettirig but of his car mr tibbett looked iip you metin about the cement- road he asked yes ive heard of it ibslfl dirty triqk amos went oh harshly his face dark with passion they told us that the new road l coming along this way arid wed have decent transportation here at last now theyve shifted the course and we pufct tp protest against it isay iul admit itsa hard biow agreed mr- tibbett- but i dont think it will be of any use to try to change the mind of the road commissioners about it probably they decided that we folks over here are not so important as some of the others i mr palmer snorted theyll find ottt how important someofus are before t get through with th affair eagerly 1 sawthe cjajing cave as they call it she stated palmer charged twentyve cents admission he has the old cave surrounded with a wire fence and a man lri front takes the tickets what about the crying asked clyde ioh it cries all right it almost gives you the shivers to hear it i went in side then all at once i heard- some one spbbiilg and it seemed to- come behind me i turned around but there was noqjne in the cave her father was thoughtful thirty people at twentyfive cents each makes ijeven dollars and a half the mused aloudn you know what i think its a fake- of spme kind remember how upset palmer was overi the change in the course of the road i know pauner arid hes an urlscrupulous man he has hatched up this scheme to bring people- news he demanded t6 hjsi and get- even for losing the road of course its only theory but i believe its true i dont see that its any of our-con- cerh olyde put in suddenly its paljners own affair and if hes shrewd enough to pull a stunt like that he de serves to be congratulated son his father spoke sternly it is our btislnelss when one member of a community does an act like the one palmer is doing the entire neighborhood suffers it is our duty to get at the truth of this matter and put a stop to it of course we must be sure of our ground first clyde made no reply but his face wore the expression of discontent which had been habitual of late the next morning however he was visibly brighter in fact he seemed al- most excited dad i have an idea he cried

wat dad asked the boy j oh he wairted to know if wed heard the news about shifting the courss of the new cement road hes pretty much aroused over it well t cant say that i blame him much returned clyde the cement road had long- been pledged to the farmers who uvea in the north section of walton township when tliey protested against the condition of their roads they were put off with the tale that plans were being made for a new cement highway suddenly the plans were changed and it was decided that the road was not to go past the tibbett farm it was suspected thit some political deal was responsible for the change but anyway the shift was made there was a half mile stretch between the ttbbetts farm and the new road which for weeks during wet weather h plans tor the road however went ahead and at last it was finished one afternoon about a month after it had been opened to the public a machine load of people from the city drove along the roadand stopped at the tibbetts place one of the party got othersbuthe went for the purpose of a man just stopped out nere and bought a box of berries which i was picking hesaysrthat were foollsnnbt to tike advantage of the opportunity that this business gives us he says theres no doubt the crying caveis a fake but for all thai palmer is reaplnga harvest the response that he expected to see in jils fathers face was- notfprtheomlng instead there was a thoughtful look 9old on a minute son he suggested if we take advantage of this opportun ity as you cajl it wont we morally be partners with amos clyde interrupted impatiently there is nothing crooked about otu- selling berries and vegetables to folks who drive by the house is there ordinarily nio the elder man went on suppose you think this matter through carefully before you decide if we get to doing well by 6ur enterprise under these conditions wont we be loth to do anything that will put an end to our income think it over before you decide nothing more was said in the tibbett family about the -matter- of the stand clyde did not refuse to sell produots to perdons who wanted them and the crying cave continued iff populari 3ne day mr tibbett decided to go over to see it he paid his quarter at the i entrance and was admitted like the a marked feature of country life to day is the way in which some of the old rural crafts are dying out says an article by a s frank in the york shire post a quarter pf a centuryago in every country district were tp be found men who specialized in arid made a living by working at special trades for instance each rural district bad its thatcher who undertook the renewal and repair of the roofs of the cottages and such larger hou as were thatched theso men were broilght up from chlld- bopd tolo this one special kind of work it would be a family industry on leaving school the boy went to help his father and was gradually taught the secrets of this particular craft he became expert and in course of time he took his fathers place as the thatcher for tfle district dry walling was another pf these trades- this is the- art of building a stone wall from undressed irregularly shaped pieces of stone without the use pf cement or plaster in some districts where stone is plentiful and cheap nearly all the fields are enclosed by such dry walls they were the most per manent and cheapest form of field boundary in such a district dry walling is an- art which has to be learnt from a heap of rough ir regular stones a skilled man could erect a wellbuilt wall which- would last for many years without attention to watch him selecting and placing the stones one would think the work was quite easy let an unskilled hand attempt it however instead of the neat well flrilshea wmflnily and sullchy u lt grahce pekoe blend mocha

the man was looking for something hurried out to offer hap we are looking for crying cave the manlntormediher its on this road i believe supposedtobe on the farm- of a mfth named palmer harriet looked puzzled i never hgota-vifrr-iriy-ainh-vff- shereplied the palmer place however is the next farm the man drew a newspaper frora his pocket and pointed- to the front page in black letters harriet read the words walton farmer has cave that cries like a baby the article went on to tell that the strange phenomenon had been discover ed on the farm of amos palmer a ttrmpr nf walton the cave waslgcat ed in his pasture but there had never i been anything unusual about it until a i few days previously on entering the cave he had been startled to hear sounds of sobbing and crying an examination of the cave had failed to disclose any uvthg creature either human or animal yet the cries were plainly heard within the cavejche6wner was utterly at a loss to explain the mystery the details werejdpscrlbed being writ ten up as such articles usually are sensa tional in the extreme harriet looked up after reading it through may i have this paper she askd the man nod ded thanking her for the information she had given hm anc drove away harrietreturned to the-house-and-dls- played the paper what do you think it means her father spoke carefully its the first time that t ve heard of such a phenomenon of course i knew about the cave being there but that crying business is a new one on me id have to knlow more about it before i passed judgment on it all that day automobiles passed and repassed the tibbett jarm on tljelr wsy to and from palmers place nevcr could harriet remember when there had been such traffic before the next afternoon harriet announced to her family im going over to see about that cave business maybe palmer wont let you see it suggested her father i think therell be no trouble about that shesmiled knowingly the family wepe mystled but presently harriet returned for an instant they stared scarcely recognizing her seeing her mothers puzzled expression the girl laughedjdo you think i can deceive mr palmer now she asked this is the outfit i wore in the pageant last year harriet had transformed herself into a perfect imitation of a simpering empty- trying to discov the secret ofsthe caver he found riothlng for the crying cave did not cry once while he was there he complained to amos palmer when he came out the man was not disturbed we dont guarantee that it will cry he explained it doesnt always there are some days when it wont make a sound thie failure of the cave to perform only strerigthenedsmrrtibbettfiruspiciorr that it was a fraud back home he voiced his suspicions ttobably palmer suspected i was there to investigate and so the thing didnt work the quicker we carrstop that farce the better off we all shall be three days later two men called at the tibbett farm mr tibbett new them ba be the sheriff of the county and the rilgrlf fttfnmpy thoy ramp tf thr thought in hermlnd being an excellent mimic her representation was very good her mother laughed yes youll deceive him all right harret returned just before supper and the family were awaiting her story point at once just what do you know about this crying cve business the district attorney askgd mr tbett told all he knew arid the attorney nodded your reputation in this nelghbor- hooirful biiuuie dealing is good tibbett and i didnt bellee that you were im plicated with palmer but i j wanted to be sure whether or not he isalohe in it weve discovered the fake the effect3 of crying are produced by a clevr speaking tube arrangement hidden in the rbeks so that it cant be discovered witn- out close examination which is not per mitted as soon as anyone became too curious the guide would get him out i received a letter yesterday unsigned- explaining the fake in detail we madc- a raid today and uncovered it ams i aimer has a relative who is connected with the newspaper that published the first story they planned theaffalr for mutual profit and i guess they were get ting it for awhile palmer confessed it all as a scheme to bring people to his place after the men had gone mr tujjfett locked around his family circle i wonder who was clever enough to un earth it he mused aloud i did it father harriet spoke up 1 did some thinking and concluded that there must be some such arrange ment ive been working secretly later clyde sought his father ive been thinking dad he explained if i had bpen running the stand selling stuff to palmers victims wouldnt it have been rather difficult for us to con vince folks that ve werent connected with palmer in arranging the scheme yes son his father nodded seri ously im afraid it would structed by the expert the result is an untidy

to two hundred years old some of it more than this frorji time to time these walls needed attention from the waller and at long intervals sections of the older walling had to be rebuilt there being now no skilled waller in the district these walls have perforce to remain until some parts of them collapse causing gaps in thewall men are then sent to repair them from lack of knowledge and experience the stones are rebuilt in an amateurish way in a similar way the men who special ized in land draining and nidb5 and ditching are disappearing true this work is still carrledout by meh who
