told them sic wanted their very best
ideas regarding house building; that
for the two best plans there were
prizes.
Paper and pencils were passed and
half hour allotted for the architects
to turn in their creations. The result
was delightful. Each one was allowed
five minutes to explain the merits Of
her plan. Some remarkably clever
ideas were developed and much I'M
suspected talent revealed. The prizes
were subscriptions to well-known mag
azfnes devoted to household affairs,
and the favors were tiny wooden JAP

refreshments there were canteloupes
filled with New York Ice cream, iced
tea and dainty English biscuit.
In a week or two this same hostess

cent. and this l will declare to the
end
How many men when facing death
on the gallows have said the same.
l wonder how many men have said
II truly. IL Is true, as Pope says.
that hope springs eternal in the hui
man breast. but often wonder II we
do not make grievous error in not
giving greater credence to the dying
statement of condemned man.
Jonathan Miller paid the penalty
of the death of Robert Conway with
the same stoical resignation which
had marked the end of many a man
in the same extremity. With his
death the case seemed at an end and
1t passed from my mind along with
many other cases which have arisen
in long and busy career. I probably
never again would have recalled 1t
except incidentally had 1t not been for
strange occurrence.

and wants to see you right away.

who Buck Everett might be, and at
last remembered him as the porter
in Miller's hotel at the time of the
Conway murder. When l arrived at
the place he was almost gone. but
with the aid of stiff drink of whisky
he revived sufficiently to make the
following confession:
I'm goner. Judge. but before l
cash in I've got to get something OF
my mind. It's Conway. I've seen him
day and night. My God. judge. there
he is now pointing his bony finger
at me, Take him away For Gods

terror and the froth upon his pallid
lips was bloody. We thought he was
going before his weighty secret was
told.
Come. Buck. have 1t out and
you'll go easier l said as l held his
head.

A Blue Bedspread.

India print enters largely into the
decorators scheme for summer cot
tages. With willow furniture and pat
termed chintz has come the demand
for quaint bedspreads and in many
country homes they are made of
chintz to match the long window hang
ings. Where white curtains have
been chosen and where other lowered
surfaces have been avoided, the bed
spread of blue and white India print
will give an air of distinction to the
entire room. This material is de-
lightfully cool in weight and in finish
and is one of the best known tub ma
terials. 1t has been known to wash
for 20 years without loss Of color; but
why should not the far-famed dyes of
