1t had been ascertained beyond rea-
sonable dooubt that Williston could
not have left the country in any of the
unual modes. His description was at
all the stations along the line, togeth-
er with the theory that he would be
leaving under compulsion.
Meanwhile, Gordon had buckled
down for the big fight. He was sadly
handicapped, with the whole prop of
his testimony struck from under him
by Williston's disappearance. How

Stable Drainage Into a Cistern.

Is allowed to soak the floors, drip
through and saturate the earth below,
and become putrescent, thus giving
rise to the most deadly germs.
In drainage, the first necessity nat
urally is that the stalls must be az
ranged with reference to whether the
animal be male or female. In the
case of males, the lowest part of the
stall must be between the fore and
hind feet. In the case of female ami
mails, it must be just at the rear.
For horses, says the Prairie Farmer,
the floor of the stall may be cut across
midway from the point where the fore
and hind feet rest, with a shallow
groove, say four inches wide, and de-
ter, when it ends in grating fine
enough to prevent the escape of the
bedding, etc.
Here it falls into pipe running
under each stall and connecting with
each, having inclination sufficient to
carry away the moisture quickly and
emptying on the open ground, as far
away as possible from the stable;
nevertheless, it is worse than folly to
adopt a system of underground stable
drainage unless there Is an abundance
of water for flushing the pipes. In the
country this is difficult to obtain;
hence, sewage drainage is not prac.
ticed except in cities having public
water works. The illustrations will
show the idea we wish to convey. One
of these represents stalls arranged for
gelding and for mare, as to position
for gathering the liquid.
Neglect often arises from the idea
generally entertained that stable ema-
nations are not inimical to human be-
ings. 1t is, however, serious annoy
ance, as must be all disagreeable
odors, and, then, it is very injurious
to carriages, affecting the varnish, as
we'll as impregnating the cushions
with a subtle odor, and eventually rot
ting them.
When stable drains can be attached
to regular sewerage system, or be
run into a properly ventilated wasting
cesspool, there is little or no trouble
about vapors and odors; but where
the liquid has to dsain into closed
cesspool, considerable thought and in
genuity are required.
1t need hardly be told that stables
ought not to be drained into the same
cesspool as the horse sewerage. If
there is only liquid matter to be dealt
with only one cesspool is necessary
and this one, to be complete, should
be made with movable pump and an
air-shaft ventilation.

HORSE DRAINAGE STABLE.
An Arrangement Which Will Prove
Very Satisfactory.

In its relation to hygiene, the sub
feet of stable drainage is among the
most important, and this, too, apart
from ventilation. a subject of equal
Importance: for, without proper ven
tilation, no system of drainage will
avail much. The average architect of
barns and stables too often leaves
calculations; hence, 1t is absolutely
necessary that the breeder should un-
derstand the principles of drainage
and ventilation, In order that he may
be able to give advice, and also tc
correct errors when found. For want
of this knowledge, the proper hygienic
effects cannot be produced; neither

BUILDS OWN LIGHTING PLANT.
st. Louis Man IlIuminates Home and
Runs Household Machines.

ST. Louis.--In his leisure hours
Fred Brendel, engineer Of the CcSn-
mercial building, has been construct
ing and just brought to completion an
electric lighting plant, which he has
installed in the yard back of his resi-
dence on Union boulevard.
With his homemade electric light
ing plant he is able to illuminate his
home and that of tenant and furnish
enough power to run a sewing ma
chine and other small household ma
chimes, do the family ironing, run cleo
trio fans and proposes in the near fu-
ture to be able to cook.
Mr.. Brenders plant is in a power
house his friends constructed during
the evenings and Sundays this fall.
In the house is a four-horse power
engine and generator with the neces-
sary rheostats, and volt and ampere
meters. The engine is run by gasoline
and is managed by Mrs. Brendel, who
has been appointed chief engineer,
while Mrs. Louis Daniels, who occu-
pies the upper part of his residence,
is assistant engineer.
The plant cost about $400 to con-
struct and the cost of lighting the
house is about ten cents a night for
40 lamps.
The engine has a heavy foundation
of concrete under it which Mr.. Bren-
del amused himself by putting in with
the assistance of his friends.

She was serving the judicial party
herself, and capably, too. She dearly
loved the time the courts met, on eth
er side of the river. 1t brought many
interesting people to the Bon Ami, al
though not often the judge. His COM
ing for supper was a most unusual
honor, and it was due to Louise, who
had playfully insisted. He had hum
ored her much against his WILL it
must be confessed; for he had deeply
worn habit of making straight for the
hotel from the station and there re-
naming until Hank Bruebacher, liv-
eryman, who never permitted any
thing to interfere with or any one to
usurp his prerogative of driving his
honor to and from Kemah when court
was in session, whistled with shame
, less familiarity the following morning
to make his honor cognizant of the
fact that he, Hank, was ready. But
he had come to the Bon Ami because
Louise wished it, and he reflected
whimsically on the establishment,
amounting almost to horror, on the
face of his good landlord at the Vel
pen house when it became an assured
fact that he was not and had not been
in the dining-room.
you are right, Mrs. Higgins" as
sented the judge gravely to her wealth
er predictions, "and the supper you
have prepared for us is worthy the
hand that serves it. Kings and po-
tentates could ask no better. Louise,
dear child, l am fond of you and /
hope you will never go back east"
THANK you, Uncle Hammond," said
Louise, who knew that an amusing
thought was seeping through this dec
laration of affection. Il am sorry to
give you heartache, but | am 60
ing back to Gods country some day,
nevertheless"
Maybe so-maybe not" said the
Judge. Mrs. Higgins, my good wom-
an, how is our friend, the canker-
worm, coming on these days?"

gins. 'Meanin', your honor"

1t means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come

Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any

Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential?

Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
cured thousands of these women?
Come and See. !
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's

will still go on using and being ben
Gifted by it; but the poor doubling,
suffering woman must, for her own

CHAPTER XII.-Continued.

After a gallant and dauntless search,
which lasted through the best days of
September, Langford was forced to
let cold reason have its sway. He had
thought, honestly, that the ruffians
would not dare commit murder, know
ing that they were being pursued; but
now he was forced to the opinion that
they had dared the worst, after all.
For, though it would be hard to hide
all trace of a dead man, infinitely
greater would be the difficulty in COW
ering the trail of a living one-one
who must eat and drink, who had
mouth to be silenced and strength to
Se restrained. 1t came gradually to
him, the belief that Williston was
dead; but it came surely. With it
came the jeer of the specter that
would not let him forget that he
should have foreseen what would
surely happen. With it came also a
great tenderness for Mary, and re-
doubled vigilance to keep his unruly
tongue from blurting out things that
would hurt her who was looking to
him, in the serene confidence in his
good friendship, for brotherly counsel
and comfort.
In the first dark days of his new be-
lief, he spoke to Gordon, and the
young lawyer had written a second
letter to the gal reporter" In re-
sponse, she came at once to Kemah
and from thence to the White home
stead in the boss's own private"
This time the boss did the driving
himself, bringing CONSERVATION to the
heart of one Jim Munson, cow-punch-
er, who viewed the advent of her and
her "mouse-colored hair" with serious
trepidation and alarm. What he had
dreaded had come to pass. Twas but
step now to the Three Bars A fus-
sy woman would be the means of
again losing man his Eden. 1t was
monstrous. He sulked, aggrievedly.
Systematically.
Louise slipped into the sad life at
the Whites easily, sweetly, adaptably.
Mary rallied under her gentle minis
trations. There was-would ever be
"a haunting pathos in the dark eyes,
but she arose from her bed, grateful
for any kindness shown her, strons
in her determination not be a trouble
to any one by giving way to weak and
unavailing tears.
Mary, because of her Astounding
health, healed of her wound rapidly.
Langford took advantage of the girls
absorption in each others company
to ride often and at length on quests
of his own creation. With October.
Louise must join Judge Dale for the
autumn term of court. He haunted
the hills. He was not looking now
for living man; he was seeking
cleverly concealed grave. He flouted
the opinion-held by many-that the
body had been thrown init the Mis-
siuri and would wash ashore some
later day many and many a mile be-
low. He held firmly to his fixed idea
that impenetrable mystery clouding
the ultimate close of Williston's earth
ly career was the sought aim of his

In the case of all animals kept in

THE LIVING ROOM.
1t Should at All Times Be "Llvable"
Room.

What to do with the living room Is
a problem that confronts every house
keeper The living room should be
in fact as we'll as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t Is the room
In which the most of our time at
home Is spent, the hours We have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings Of the
living room should be harmonious in
color, suitable in texture, and durable
In material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when we
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of hard
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
suggest to the imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full, but they were never made to
climb up interior walls and they do
not grow from hardwood flooring.
The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall is the only
correct form Of tinted or solid col
ored wall. Fortunately 1t is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it is
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some thought
must be given the color. Light colors
reflect $3.50 of the light thrown upon
them. Dark colors reflect but 1879.
Lighting bills can be saved by choos-
ing a color which will reflect the
largest degree of light. In north
rooms use warm colors or colors
which reflect light. In south and
west rooms sometimes the light can
be modified by the use Of darker
colors. Dark green's absorb the light;
light yellows reflect it; browns mod
ify it, and so on, through the scale
of colors. The color scheme of a
room not only is dependent upon the
color of the carpetings but it is also
dependent upon the light of the room.
