Iprophesied smokeless condition and
we shall be living under Venetian
skies.
Heretofore, in this country, roofs
have only been utilized here anG
there as gloomy places of amusement
called roof gardens, with scraggly
little dwarfs of evergreen trees Gov
cred with SCOT and dust, but as the
smoke nuisance abates, W could
they not, during the summt months
be as delightful as those of the ItaI
ian city of the gondolers with their
tiled walks and cool leafy arbors?
Here might be built miniature coun-
! try estates to which their happy own
ers might retire each evening, as
Icending with a speed which leaves
the trolley car far in the shade ana
here he might rear his children far
above the noise, the dangers and the
evils of the city streets; here raise
not only chickens, but flowers. veg
etables and small fruits; here keep
dogs and cats with no fear Of the
dogcatcher or of his neighbor'e
wrath, and even a COW would not be
an impossibility, for could not bossy
be carried up in a freight elevator
and fed on the pumpkins and turnips
and cabbages and corn stalks raised
on the tiny farm, and thus be solved
the question of pure milk for the
baby.
There in times of war between
neighbOrs could the heads of house
holds sit with legs dangling over the
edge of their demesnes and make
faces at each other and hurl opin
ions back and forth like the doughty
knights of old did from their castles
to the rafting crags below. And
when the strife was over suspension
bridges. could be swung from one
roof to the other, allowing friendly
visits and the swapping OF squash
seeds.
The roofs of the buildings along
the city streets which they built i'm
mediately adjoining may finally solve
the question of providing downtown
parks and Fairgrounds. Think Of the
vast possibilities Of picturesque
slopes and terraces which the land
scape gardener could evolve for the
adjoining roofs of buildings varying
in height and what a pleasant pros
pect would these present covered
with green sward and with winding
walks roundabout, with rustic seats
and arbors and growing plants
It is only matter of time and the
abating of the smoke nuisance till
the chicken farm and the clothes
drying space will be utilized by some
genius and the peaceful hen viii no

CHAPTER XIV.
A Sine Qua Non,

Barbara was on her way home from
Ashburton. She had attended her
aunt's funeral, and knew that a r-tle
sum of about fifty pounds per annum
was hers, left her by her aunt. She
was occupied with her thoughts.
Was there any justification for Jas
per? The father was hateful. She
could excuse his leaving home; that
was nothing; such a home must be in
tolerable to a young man Of spirit
but to rob his father was another mat
ter. Barbara could not quite riddle
the puzzle out in her mind. 1t was clear
that Mr.. Babb had confded the fifteen
hundred pounds to Jasper, and that
Jasper had made away with them.
He had been taken and sent 10 pri-
son at Princes Town. Thence he had
escaped, and whilst escaping had mel
with the accident which had brought
him to become an inmate OF Morwel
House. Jasper's story that he had
lost the money was false. He i7aG
himself taken it. Barbara could not
quite make it out; she tried to put Il
from her. What mattered it how The
robbery had been committed ?-suffi-
Gent that the man who took the
money was with her father What
had he done with the money? That
no one but himself could tell, and
that she would not ask him
It was vain crying over split milk.
Fifteen hundred pounds were gone,
