economy and ease of putting in opera
ton, the portable furnaces now made
by many reliable parties have no SUI
perior. A large furnace is needed for
q large house-42 inches diameter is an
excellent size. My house is of brick.
S4x36 feet; stands north and south,
front entrance on north side; is two
stories. with cellar under the whole;
ground floor has parlor the whole
length on the west side, two rooms
and inclosed porch on east side; Sec
ond story has four chambers and bath
room; both floors are well and thor
oughly warmed with one 42-inch port
able furnace.
The proper location of the furnace
In the cellar is of the first Importance;
It should be in the northwest corner, as
the high, cole winds come from that
quarter, and there is no trouble to get
the heat to go in southerly direction
in cold weather. After locating your
furnace, dig a hole in the cellar bot
tom where it is to stand, Sx10 feet and
2 feet deep; wall with brick and floor
with same; this is needed to give
proper inclination to the heat pipes,
and to keep the furnace from being too
near the floor above it. If there is an
entry in the middle of the house put
register in the floor at or near the
north end of it; this will temper the
whole house in cold weather. Heat
pipes can be taken from the furnace
into all the rooms; these pipes should
all have hampers in them in the cellar
near the furnace, so as to control the
distribution of heat to each room as it
may be needed.
Good dry seasoned wood cut In one
foot lengths can be used with great
satisfaction; fill the fire pot full of it,
and when once well on fire, close all
bottom drafts; leave the damper in
smoke pipe open just enough to carry
off the smoke, and it will run all day
without any further care. Such fur
mace can be put up complete to warm
such a house, with heat pipes and regis
tiers to every room, for $500. My fuel
(hard coal for this furnace and kitch-
en- range costs an average of 81 cents a
day throughout the year. The cold
air is taken from out of doors on the
north side of the house to the base of
the furnace in a wooden box s by 10
inches; the box projects IS inches
from the house, and has partition in
1t ~ feet long; the sides of projection
are cut sloping, and covered with wire
to keep out vermin. By this arrange
ment all northerly winds are caught
and conducted to the furnace; it should
have damper in it to control the air
supply in times of high wind. We have
no use for inside doors in this house.
In a warm climate, believe fur
mace in a cellar north side) directly

done for S125 or less.

pipe and tin pipes for conveying heat

each flue to the second or chamber
floor, which added much to the cost, as
each room thus has it's own indepen-
ent heat supply. There is one register
in entry and one in dining-room on
first floor; two registers in parlor on
the west side where flues are marked;
also two on second floor west, one in

letters are S. B. W., and it belongs to
Lieut. Waring of our battery"
But no questioning, however adroit,
-could elicit from him the faintest in
formation as to how it got there. The
last time he remembered seeing it, he
said, was on Mr.. Warnings table the
morning of the review. A detective
testified to having found it among the
bushes under the window as the water
receded. Ferry and the miserable
Ananias were called, and they, too, had
to identify the knife, and admit that
neither had seen it about the room
since Mr.. Waring left for town. Of
other witnesses called, came first the
proprietor of the stable to which the
cab belonged. Horse and cab, he said,
coTered with mud, were found under a
shed two blocks below the French
market, and the only thing in the cab
was a handsome silk umbrella, London
make, which Lieut.. Pierce laid claim
to. Mrs. Doyle swore that as she was
going in search of her husband she
met the cab just below the Pelican,
driving furiously away, and that in
the flash of lightning she recognized
the driver as the man whom Lieut.
Warning had beaten that morning on
the levee in front of her place. A
stranger was seated beside him. There
were two gentlemen inside, but she
saw the face of only one-Lieut-
Waring.
Nobody else could throw any light
on the matter. The doctor, recalled, de-
clared the knife or dagger was shaped
exactly as would have to be the one
that gave the death blow. Everything
pointed to the fact that there had been
a struggle, a deadly encounter, and
that after the fatal work was done the
murderer or murderers had left the
doors locked and barred and escaped
through the window, leaving the desk
rified and carrying away what money
there was, possibly to convey the idea
that it was only a vulgar murder and
robbery after all
OF other persons who might throw
light upon the tragedy the following
were missing: Lieut.. Waring, Private
Dawson, the cabman, and the unrecog-
nized stranger. So, too, was Anatole's
boat.

VIL-CoNTISUED.
Quietly rising from his seat, the Off
cial who so recently had had the verbal
tilt with Cram held forth a rusty, cross
hilted. two-edged knife that looked as
though it might have lain in the mud
and wet for hours.
"Have you ever seen this knife be-
fore?" he asked. And Doyle, lifting
up his eyes one instant, groaned, shud-
dered, and said:
.'Oh, my God, yes.''
"Whose property is it or was it?'
At first he would not reply. He
moaned and shook. At last:
Sure, the initials are on the top" he
cried.
But the official was relentless.
Tell us what they are and what
they represent"
People were crowding the hallway
and forcing themselves into the room.
Cram and Ferry, curiously watching
their in-star7ed comrade, had ex-
changed chances of dismay when the
knife was so suddenly produced. Now
they bent breathlessly forward.
The silence for the moment was op-
pressive.
eff it's the knife mane," he sobbed
at last, desperately, miserably, 1.-The

got to wait awhile, and meantime go
about this other affair. Is there no
way in which you can sec her?"
Cram relapsed into brown study.
Reynolds was porting over the note
written to Braxton and comparing it
with one he held in his hand-an
old one, and one that told an old, old
story. Il know you'll say have no

him. Then she struck some quarter
master or other and lived off him for
awhile; drifted over here, and no soon
er did he arrive, all ignorant of her
presence in or around New Orleans,
than she began Fostering him again.
When he turned deaf ear, she prob
ably threatened, and then came thcse
anonymous missives to you and Brax-
ton. Yours always came by mail, you
say. The odd thing about the colonel's

the little civilian, dryly. but what we

What has this to do with the other?"
This much: This letter came to
Braxton by hand, not by mail-by
hand, probably direct from her. What
hand had access to the Office the day
when the whole command was out at
review? Certainly no outsider. The
mail is opened and distributed on its

woolly-pated mother, true to negro
superstitions, had decamped. Nothing
would induce them to remain under
the roof where foul murder had been
done. ''De hahnts" was what they were
afraid Of And so the old white home
stead, though surrounded on every side
by curiosity seekers and prying eyes,
was practically deserted. Cram went
about his duties with o heavy heart
and light aid. Ferry and Pierce both
commanded section snow, as Doyle re-
manned in close arrest and "Pills the
Less" in close attendance. Something
was utterly wrong with the fellow.
Mrs Doyle had not again ventured to
show her red nose within the limits of
the ''barx," as she called them, a hint
from Braxton having proved sufficient;
but that she was ever scouting the
pickets no one could doubt. Morn,
noon and night she prowled about the
neighborhood, employing the "byes,"
SO she termed such stray sheep in army
blue as a dhrop of Anatole's best would
tempt, to carry scawling notes to Jim,
one of which, falling with its postman
by the wayside and turned over by the
guard to Capt. Cram for transmittal,
was addressed to Mister Loot'nt James
Doyle, Lite Bothery Y, Jaxun Bark,
and brought the only laughter to his
lips the big horse artilleryman had
known for nearly a week. Her Gus
tomary Mercury, Dawson, had vanished
from sight, dropped, with many an
other and often a better man, as a de-
serter.
Over at Warnings abandoned quarters
the shades were drawn and the green
jalousies bolted. Pierce stole in each
day to see that everything, even to the
augmented heap of letters, was undis-
turbed, and Ananias dropped in the
court below and refused to be comfort
ed. Cram had duly notified Warnings
relatives, now living in New York, of
his strange and sudden disappearance,
but made 10 mention of the cloud of
suspicion which had surrounded his
name. Meantime, some legal friends
of the family were overhauling the
Lascelles papers, and n dark-compleX-
Toned, thick-set, active little civilian
was making frequent trips between
the department headquarters and bar
racks. At the former he compared
notes with Lieut.. Reynolds, and at the
latter with BraXton and Cram. The
last interview Mir. Allerton had before
leaving with his family for the north
was with this same lively party, the de-
tective who joined them that night at
the st. Charles, and Allerton, being n
man of much substance, had tapped his
pocketbool1 significantly.
THE difficulty just now is in having
a talk with the widow" said this Off
cial to Cram and Reynolds, whom he
had met by appointment on the Thurs
day following the eventful Saturday
of Braxton's combined" review. ''She

YOUTH AND AGE.

Turn back, oh, dial-plate Of time.
Spare 20 my locks their hue Of Jet;
With youth my glowing fancies rhyme
For age am not ready yet.
The wrinkled gray beard, passing by,
Was he my schoolmate long ago!
Some hint like that flashed through his eye,
And yet hold it Is not so.
1 What means the trsitorous almanaci
Who heeds the tale its pages tellf
Ifeel Of youth nothing lack,
q In Mays eternal realm dwell.
Are not these flowers and fields as fair
As those in far-of days knew
To-day fervently declare
never saw a sky more bluei
Here's Maud, who wears the dainty rose
OF sixteen summers on her cheek;
Stop not the gray beard-wen he knows
IT'S but with her care TO speak.
Since naught OF natures charm has fed,
And on Maud's lips my lips have pressed,
There must be youth and Joy ahead
How can you ask lovelier tests
Thrilled by the rapture OF her smile,
Why should mind the almanacl
Let Age conceal his frost awhile
Ask Time to turn his dial back.
