MAKE HOMES FIREpRooF.
Precautions Now Taken In the Most
Modest Dwellings,.

Within the last few years the price
of lumber has increased to such an
extent that the fireproof home is no
longer the expensive luxury It used to
be. Now the man Of modest means,
even the day workman, can have a
home as safe from FIRE as the palatial
dwellings of the ultra-wealthy. Pri-
vate residences recently built and
now under construction In New York
city show that II is becoming the
practice to use the same fireproofng
precautions In houses as In lofty ho-
tells and skyscrapers. II seems that
every owner is determined that his
home shall not be swallowed up In

CHAPTER XVI.

%IHE next morning at 8 o'clock,
and again without breakfast
Loder covered the distance be-
- tween Grosvenor square and
Clifrord's inn. He left Chilcote's house
hastily-with a haste that only an ur-
gent motive could have driven him to
adopt His steps were quick and IN
even as he traversed the intervening
streets; his shoulders lacked their de-
cisive pose, and his pale face was
marked with shadows beneath the
eyes-shadows that bore witness to the
sleepless night spent in pacing Chill
cote's vast and lonely room. By the
curious effect Of circumstances the
likeness between the two men had
never been more significantly marked
than on that morning of April 10.
when Loder walked along the pave
ments crowded with early workers
and brisk with insistent news vendors
already alive to the value Of last
nights political crisis.
The irony of this last element in the
days concerns came to him fully when
one newsboy, more energetic than his
fellows, thrust a paper in front of him.
Sensation in the 'ouse, sir! Speech
by Mr.. Chilcote! Government defeatp'
For moment Loder stopped and his
face Redeemed. The tide of emotions
still ran strong. His hand went in
stinctively to his pocket; then his lips
set. He shook his head and walked on.
With the same hard expression about
his mouth. he turned into Clifford's
inn, passed through his own doorway
and mounted the stairs.
This time there was no milk can on
the threshold of his rooms and the door
yielded to his pressure without the
need Of key. With a strange sensa-
ton of reluctance he walked into the
narrow passage and paused, uncertain
which room to enter first. As he stood
hesitating a voice from the sitting
room settled the question.
Who's there?" it called irritably.
What do you want?"
Without further ceremony the In
truder pushed the door open and en-
tered the room. AS he did SO he drew
a quick breath-whether of disappoint-
ment or relief it was impossible to say.
Whether he had hoped for or dreaded
It Chllcote was conscious.
