In the construction or the bituIithio

best results. After careful inspection
and laboratory tests to determine che
porosity and friabiIity OF the stone, il
is then determined what proportions OF

that resistance known as Inherent sta
bility to mixture of the vaFioua
sizes. TO the mineral ingredients In
the predetermined proportions IL add.

component units in close 1uxtaposi-
ton with each other. The bitulithic
pavement presents a pleasing appear

Buffalo Star-Journal: The business
men Of this city and many others In
terested in getting the best paving
possible for the business sections OF
the city have been agreeably surprised
at the results obtained by Warren
Bros. or Boston, in all sections Of the
city where their bituIithic pavement
has been laid.
Not only has this pavement been su-
perior TO what was anticipated when
the pavement was first laid, but II has
withstood the wear and tear OF heavy
travel better than the asphalt which
was laid at the same time. In only
one or two spots has the bitulitflic
paving shown any defects, while the
asphalt paving laid on North Main
street Santa Fe avenue. and on all
of the cross streets. is badly cracked
and In many places IL needs TO be re-
paired and the ruts filled up.
1t is stated that all of the property
owners on the north side included in
the new district to be paved win speci-
~ the bitulithic paving In the petit
tons to be circulated on account Of
the general satisfaction that paving
has SO far given in this city over the
asphalt paving that was laid in that
section Of the city.
1t IL stated that the foundation for
the bituiithic as well as all of the var
ious parts used in laying 1t have been
improved over the quality used two or
three years ago in Pueblo, and that
the property owners will get even a
better paving now than was laid when

Women architects. It is said, resent
the association of their names with
closets.
"Just as II we couldn't build any
thing but Closets" one of them
snapped the other day, "and just as IL
any sensible man architect couldn't
make all the closets that are neces-
sary!"
So the Tribune reporter knew bet
ter than to make guesses about the
sex of the architect, great as was the
temptation, when the mistress of the
new house began displaying her
closets.
I'm every one there are electric
lights" she explained proudly, "and
they are turned on and Off with the
opening and shutting of the door. No
matches, no candle to blow In the
draft and set fire to things, and no
waste of electricity. Isn't that q
scheme?"
Then she showed OF her closets for
shoes and hats. Each pair of shoes
had a separate compartment fitted
with shoe trees. The hat compart-
ments were fitted out with millinery
standards to keep the hats from be-
Ing crushed.
The proud mother had a wonderful
closet In the nursery. 1t contained
sliding shelves set quite closely to-
gether. one above the other. They
were very deep. but made Of light
wood, SO that they were not heavy.
An entire shelf, with its contents, can
be lifted out easily and carried like
a tray to any place where 1t Is need
ed. The bottom shelf, covered with
white rubber. Is to be used for a
toilet table. On 1t were pretty
papier mache basin, soap dish and
powder boxes. On each of the other
shelves complete baby outfits were
laid out, ready for use.
The architect who planned the linen
closet certainly knew woman's wants.
1t looked like a row Of deep drawers,
but instead Of pulling out, the front
pieces were hinged and let down like
desk cover, supported by chains.
Behind were the shelves or recesses,
piled with linen. In sorting or ar.
ranging the linen the front of the
drawer serves as a table.-New York

CHAPTER XIV.

Annie entered the presence of the
famous lawyer pale and i'll at ease.
This sudden summons to Judge
Brewster's private Office was so unex-
pected that it came like a shock For
days she had haunted the premises,
sitting in the outer Office for hours at
time exposed to the stare and
covert smiles of thougntless clerks
and office boys. Her requests for an
Interview had been met with curt re-
fusals. They either said the Judge
was out of town or else that he was
too busy to be seen. At last, evil
IDENTIFY acting upon orders. they fat
ly refused to even send In her name,
and she had about abandoned hope
her, and addressing her more politely
than usual, said that the Judge would
see her in few minutes.
Her heart gave a great throb. AL
most speechless from surprise, she
stammered a faint thanks and braced
herself for the interview on which so
much depended. For the first time
since the terrible affair had happened,
there was a faint glimmer of hope
ahead. If only she could rush over
to the Tombs and tell Howard the
joyful news so he might keep up cour-
age! 1t was eight days now since
Howard's arrest, and the trial would
take place in six weeks. There was
Still time to prepare strong defense
If the judge would only consent to
take the case. She was more sure
than ever that a clever lawyer would
have no difficulty in convincing jury
that Howard's alleged confession"
was untrue and improperly obtained
In the intervals of waiting to see
the lawyer, she had consulted every
one she knew, and among others she
had talked with DR.. Bernstein, the
noted psychologist, whom she had
seen once at Yale. He received her
kindly and listened attentively to her
story. When she had finished he had
evinced the greatest interest. He
told her that he happened to be the
physician called in on the night of the
tragedy, and at that time he had
grave doubts as to 1t being case of
murder. He believed it was suicide,
and he had told Capt. Clinton so, but
the police captain had made up his
mind, and that was the end of it.
Howard's confession" he went on,
really meant nothing. If called to the
stand he could show the jury that a
hypnotic subject can be made to

est of truth. justice. and science, he
said, he would gladly come to her
aid.

An active and successful young

Some years ago I suffered from
