The Broad Highway 
{Continued from page 403) 
general factotum of “The Bull” inn, be 
aware of this fact, who seeing me lost in 
contemplation, paused to address me in 
all good faith? 
“A fine bull ’e be, eh, Peter? Look at 
them ’orns, an’ that theer tail; it’s seldom 
you sees ’orns or a tail the like o’ 
them, eh?” 
“Very seldom!” I answered. 
“Why, dang me! if I can’t ’ear ’im 
a-snortin’! An’ ’e were all painted by a 
chap — a little old chap wi’ gray whiskers 
-no taller ’n your elber, Peter! Droredt’ 
bull in wi’ a bit o’ chalk, first; then ’e outs 
wi’ a couple o’ brushes; dab ’e goes, an’ 
dab, dab again, an’—by Goles! theer was 
a pair o’ eyes a-rollin’ theirselves at me. 
Talk about tails, Peter! ’E put in that 
theer tail so quick as nigh made my eyes 
water, an’—as for stiffness—well, look 
at it! I tell ’ee that chap could paint a 
bull wi’ ’is eyes shut. No, ye don’t see 
many bulls like that un theer, Peter?” 
“They would be very hard to find!” 
said I, and sighed again. Whereupon 
Silas, nodding, went off about his many 
duties, whistling cheerily. 
So I presently turned about and crossed 
the road to the smithy. But upon the 
threshold I stopped and drew softly back, 
for Prudence wa)S there, upon her knees 
THE STORY SO FAR 
H IS mind poisoned against Charm- 
ian by a prying peddler, Peter 
roams all one stormy night trying to 
justfy his lack of faith in her. Finally 
he decides he loves her “whatever 
she has been”—for she has fled to him 
for shelter from a villainous gallant 
whom he now suspects she is meeting 
secretly. At dawn he meets a way- 
side preacher and they succor an 
unconscious man whose face seems 
familiar. Then Peter goes home to 
ask Charmian to marry him. 
before the anvil, with George's great 
hand-hammer clasped to her bosom, sob¬ 
bing over it, and, while she sobbed, she 
kissed its worn handle. And because such 
love was sacred and hallowed that dingy 
place, I took off my hat as I once more 
crossed the road. 
Seeing “The Bull” was not yet astir, 
for the day was still young, I sat me down 
in the porch and sighed. 
And after I had sat there for some while, 
with my chin sunk upon my breast, and 
plunged in bitter meditation, I became 
aware of the door opening, and next 
moment a tremulous hand was laid upon 
my head, and, looking round, I beheld 
the Ancient. {To be continued)

We supply Union 
Carbide in generator 
sizes direct to consum¬ 
er at factory prices 
through our iso ware¬ 
houses. There is one 
near you. 
U NION CARBIDE is a manufactured crystalline 
gas-producing material — looks like crushed gran* 
ite. It will keep indefinitely if protected from air and 
moisture. 
Genuine Union Carbide is shipped in substantial sheet 
steel drums. There is no package more familiar to farm 
owners than this Union Carbide blue-and-gray drum 
seen at express and freight stations, and boat landings, 
throughout the civilized world. 
Union Carbide is universally recognized as having 
highest gas value, most uniform dependable quality, and 
purest gas. 
During the last 25 years Union Carbide gas lighting- 
and-cooking plants have been installed on more than 
409,000 farms. 
From a simple, easily understood, automatic genera¬ 
tor (requiring only Union Carbide and water), the gas 
is piped through house, barns and poultry buildings. 
Concealed piping does not disfigure walls, floors or 
ceilings. 
Union Carbide gas is accepted by science as more 
nearly like daylight than any other artificial illuminant. 
And you can cook with it, iron with it, and heat water 
for laundering, bathing and shaving. 
This artificial sunlight in the poultry buildings un¬ 
questionably lengthens the hens’ active hours and 
increases egg production at trifling cost. Ask for our 
booklet on this subject.
