times a week. Some folks are shift
less enough to pile them up on the
cellar floor and let them stay there
until spring, but this is a reprehcnsive
habit which should be energetlcally
discouraged II is on the same princt-
pal Of sweeping the dirt into n pile be-
hind the door. Self.respecting people
don't do that way, but In order TO en-
courage cleanliness and decency this
easy back cellar stair has been ar.
ranged.
There is a good front porch to this
house and there is a good back porch
/ often think women take more com
fort with a back porch in summer than
any other part of the house. They can
slip out there between working peri
DDS and enjoy little fresh air without
being obliged to change their work
ing clothes. The value of a back
porch is very much increased by hav.
ing it screened in with vines. A good
deal depends on which way the sun
shines in but one vine or more may
be used to advantage with almost any
exposure.
In some localities wire mosquito net
ting Is necessary to make the back
porch habitable after shutdown The
wire netting is great help in keeping
flies out of the kitchen all summer
long. 1t don't pay to screen a porch
In this way unless the porch is rightly
planned With this arrangement It is
not necessary to go down to the
ground through the porch. The Gel.
larway comes in handy as an exit
from the back part of the house when
the porch is enclosed with wire net
ting. OF course, a person would have
screen door to go out from the
porch onto the ground when they
wanted to. but II this door Is kept con-
stantly swinging the flies will find
their way In. There is a great deal In
arrangement. and this Is ore Of the
places to use little skill In this drec.
ton.
The cost Of house like this depends
so much on local prices Of lumber and
skilled labor that it is difficult to give
an off.hand estimate. II is a good.
sized house and one that gets away
with quite a bit of material Probably
under favorable circumstances It
should be built for about $500.

Paradise was used to following
Lonesome's leads. The humor Of the
situation also appealed TO many. So,
instead of appointing q committee Of
three, the asscmblage went into a
committee of the whole for the pur'
pose OF congratulating the newly elect
ed marshal.
One Monday morning Lonesome
Llnthicum received message calling
him to ranch 200 miles up the val
ley on q mission that would require
his attention three or four days.
With word of warning to a few of
the boys. he rode out of town. The
following day announcement was
made of a dance to be given at Bloom
er's Gulch on Saturday night. All
Paradise was invited. and most of
1t accepted. Jernigan, Windy
Billy Earle, Pap Johnson and others
tried to prevail on Runty to join them,
but the marshais conception OF his
duty would not permit him to leave
his post.
As nearly everyone that had the
evening free was expected to attend
the dance, Runty's self-appointed
guardians could see no risk In leay-
ing him uncared for that one night,
and It was so decided.
At ten o'clock that Saturday night,
while all was peacefully quiet in Par
adlse four men, masked and heavily
armed, rode into town from the Tue

through the deserted streets to where
the lights from Three.Fingered Pete's

masks, and surveyed the room from

rescued a woman from the horrible
death of being ground beneath the
wheels of the o. r. & N. train at the
depot last Thursday. The woman was
in the act of boarding the train as
1t was pulling out. when her foot
slipped and she started to fall be-
tween the edge of the platform and
the moving train. With great pres
ence of mind nd personal risk Mr..
Rau rushed to the falling woman
and lifted her onto the platform. Had

man, he boarded the trolley and re-
turned home. Before leaving, how
ever he went into the City hotel,
borrowed a pen and proceeded to
make out his return on the writ. He
knew that a bunch of some kind Of
old secondhand Latin would look
good on such a document and give
him prestige at home, so he wrote
