in, and let me introduce you to Miss
Kitwater, who has just arrived from
England"
Miss Kitwater?" he repeated, in
some surprise. Surely understood
you to say that your client, the gem,
tleman who had lost his sight through
Hayle's treachery, was M. Kitwater?"
THAT is quite right, and this lady
is his NIECE" returned. "She, has,
brought me extraordinary intelli-
gence. Her uncle and his companion
have suddenly disappeared from the
little village of Surrey, where they
have been staying some time with her.
1t is her belief that they have come
to Paris in search of Hayle. There
would have been trouble had they
met, but, fortunately for them, and
for Hayle, he has given them the slip
once more. 1t would be possible for
you to find out whether they arrived
by the morning train, and also wheth-
er they have made inquiries at Hayle's
apartments, would it not?''
"Quite possible" he answered.. "It

to Miss Kitwater, and then disap-
peared.
IN. Leglosse is also in pursuit of
Hayle," I explained. HE holds war

embezzlement in Cochin China. For
that reason we are following him to
Naples tomorrow morning"

I answered.
'Then do you think my uncle will

wringing her hands. "Oh it is all too
terrible. What shall do?"
"Well, if might be allowed to be

She gave little wan smile.

The Home House and Its Grounds.

Architects and others who are to
build houses this spring should give
large heed to the suggestion of Mr.
Sturgis, a Boston architect, in a lee
ture recently given in that city, regard
ing the location of the house in such o
way as to have the living rooms COM
mand all the sunshine possible. We
have so much land in this State and
so much sunshine that there is no need
to scrimp on lots, except in the very
crowded residential sections of our
large cities. and there is no reason
why our dwellings. especially of the
smaller class should not be so located
as to receive the all-day sun in their
principal rooms.
The living rooms, says Mr.. Sturgis,
where the members of the family spend
most of their time, should be on the
east and south sides of the house
Those who know from experience the
advantages and beauty of having these
easterlv and southerly permits to use
the sun need not his advice, but there is
a large number who for Some reason or
other cannot or do not see the neceS-
sity of such condition. And it is hoped
that the lecture or report of it will
reach them and lead them to a CONVEX
sion to sun and air therapeutics. Fur
thermore there is much need for the
owners and occupants of small lots and
smaller houses to assimiate the other
recommendation made by Mr.. Sturgis
that by good reasoning and the exercise
of common sense every inch of space.
both out-of-doors and within, should be
utilized.
What Mr.. Sturgis says regarding the
grounds about the house are worthy
Of thought. These, he says, should also
have well defined divisions, which are
generally lost sight of or are unsus-
pected, in poorly planned ground.
There should be a forecourt or portion
Immediately in front of the house,
treated as a screen or not, from a pry-
Ing public, according to circumstances:
a flower garden that may be within
view of the owners portion of the
hOIse: q vegetable garden, more remote
and placed with special reference to the
service portion Of the house; a kitchen
court for domestic traffic. Lawn spaces,
shade trees and wider spaces may be
disposed around or among these, if
available, but the foregoing are the
elements that centuries of experiment
have prescribed as necessary to good
form in a home.
