Thomas A. Edison seems to have
hit upon valuable idea outside OF
electricity. He proposes that molds
be made for q house Of given de-
sien, 80 that liquid cement can be
poured into it. He estimates that In
this way q house worth $4,000 can
be built for $500. The thing looks
feasible, says the Chicago Chronicle,
and tf it should ever be realized will
prove far more valuable than most
uf Mr.. Edison's electric inventions,
ono reason being that these hardly
ever turn out as well as Mr.. Edison
expected.

muttered an exclamation and, half
rising, set about the task, Of disentan-
clement. When he had finished he be-
gan to cough, and the cough shook
him through and through. He leant
back painting against the rocks.
The owner of the blue eyes paused in
the act Of pulling on black stocking
to look at him doubtfully.
You coughs very hard. Haven't
you any candy?" she asked
He smiled. No., I'm afraid I
haven't"
II haven't, either now. I eated all

the laces in q one-sided knot. well,

Cant make nice bows?" She tied
the laces OF her second shoe with hot
and somewhat dirty fingers, and eyed
the result with fond pride.
VERY nice." said the man absently.
He was not looking at them, but she
di6 not notice. She did not resent the
absent tone, either, being too absorbed
III the contemplation of her footgear.
''Tisn't a bit easy to tie bows, now

She Indicated on a sturdy black-stock-
inged leg a spa0 OF about three
inches. Her tone held a subtle expec-

The man was coughing again. When
,ho could find his voice, he said. Real

awe In his voice. and she rippied into
Q g!eeful laugh. =
';Just you wait till I've growed all!

thought of It. I'm going to be

He laughed little bitterly. Il sup

wlstfully.

He pressed a hand to his side to stife
fade from his lips. I'm Langham, and
I'm very much older than six, Bess," !"
he said, after pause.
Bess clasped her hands in front OF
