AS soon as the nurses discovered her, Mrs WALDO
started to climb down this front. They drove TO-

Iightful way OF making surprise part,
in his family that might well be initiated
by some OF his old friends in Los Ange

Of century. Be II known that Tiptor
engaged some three years ago in business
in San Bernardino, and occupied n anal
cottage, neat but not elaborate.
About the first Of July his wife and
family were induced to go up on the
mountains to enjoy the delicious air Of
summer In the pine forests around the
Lapraix sawmills. IL was a delightful,
romantic place to live. and all went
merry as a marriage bell, and all the
party became robust and ruddy.
Although it was the dull season Of the
year, yet IL was noticeable that MIR.
Upton found il necessary to 20 to town
frequently and stay all day. but always
returned CHEEKY as il business were
prosperous. So the weeks wore away
until Saturday. when the family no.
tarned home, and Mrs. Upton found
her little old cottage transformed by car

decorators into a large and beautiful
house, with wide veranda all around.
double walls to protect against cold or
heat, hot and cold water, seven elegant
rooms, bath room, and all modern con.

that she was surprised. Whether size
was delighted or not, she lady house

eide for themselves.
