and Ware was again conscious OF the
quickened beating of his heart. Hicks
nodded. See you don't meet up with
John Murrell," said Ware.
''Tll take that chance. 1t seems

Ware looked from the window. The

lawn.

but he was still seeing Murrell, pallid
and shaken.
A step sounded in the hall and an
instant later Hicks entered the room
without the formality of knocking.
Ware recognized his presence with a
glance OF indifference, but did not
speak. Hicks slouched to his employ
er's side and handed him note which
proved to be from Fentress. Ware
read and tossed 1t aside

two men looked at each other for a
long moment.

CHAPTER XIV. (contInued.)

"Huesl" cried Murrell in astonish-
ment, for the man confronting him
was the Clans messenger who should
have been speeding across the state.
Toss up your hands, Murrell, said
Hues quietly.
One Of the other men spoke.

Arrest"
You are wanted for nigger-steal-

not seem to comprehend. He looked
at Hues in dull wonder.
What are you doing here?" he
asked.

The outlaws hands dropped at his
side, limp and helpless. With some
idea that he might attempt to draw
a weapon one Of the men took hold
of him, but Murrell was nerveless to
his touch; his face had gone a ghast-
ly white and was streaked with the
markings OF terror.
We'll. by thunder!" cried the man
in utter amazement.
Murrell looked into Hues' face.

man whose pistol still covered Ware.
Hues glanced toward the planter and
shook his head
Where are you going to take me?''
asked Murrell quickly. Again Hues
laughed.
You'll find that out in plenty OF
time, and then your friends can pass
the word around If they like; now
you'll come with me-"
Ware neither moved nor spoke as
Hues and his prisoner passed back
along the path, Hues with his hand
on MurrelPs shouler, and one OF his
companions close at his heels, while
the third man led off the outlaws

Every house should be built with

appearance. The shape Of the roof
and the corresponding roof over the
front porch with the proper placing
of windows make the difference in
the outside appearance. The colors
used in painting of course have a
good deal to do with the final finish.
A good combination of light shade of
paint for the body with darker trim
mings carefully chosen to properly
match show to great advantage in
the finish of one of these houses.
It costs little more when building

rent for double that amount simply
because they were built attractivalV
and contained modern means OF heat

A great deal depends on the plan
as well as the convenience and the
outside appearance. 1t is an art that
seems difficult to acquire, the build
ing of small artistic. comfortable
houses, but it is an art well worth
studying.
Such houses should be great deal
more common than they are. II

Sometimes It is necessary to build
house to fit a narrow lot. AS a
general thing lots are deep enough to
hold almost any kind of house. Few
lots in American cities are less than
one hundred feet from front to back,
but because of expensive street i'm
provements they are often squeezed
sideways until houses get to be very
close neighbors. 1t is unfortunate
that 1t Is so but we have to take
conditions as we find them and make
the best of 1t. Sometimes these mar
row lots are in very. desirable neigh
Dorhoods, convenient for transporta-
ton and convenient for other reasons
and by building house to fit the lot
such property may be made very COM
Portable and attractive.
This design shows a house only
eighteen feet wide, but the length is
thirty-eight feet six inches, exclusive
OF the front porch. Such shape nee
essarily requires that one room shall
follow another, sometimes with very
ASh6 uoA n hollOW udllS UuI Jul6 pan
avoids that difficulty by putting
room at the back end of the hall and
by connecting the kitchen with,>the
dining-room by way of the pantry.
Then the upper part of the house is
laid out with a bedroom in each end
and a bathroom opposite the upper
hallway In the center. This arrange
ment requires that the bathroom shall
be lighted by a dormer window, the
design Of which is very neat and at
tractive. 1t adds great deal to the
appearance Of the house because 1t is
ornamental as we'll as useful. Such.
attachments make up the difference
between common cheap looking
house and satisfactory, useful, orna-
mental habitation that Is at once very
pleasing and interesting.
So-called cottage houses with one
gable end towards the street are as
common as house flies In the cheaper

live nicely from crowding into fiat
buildings where they have neither
light nor sufficient air. This is an.
other excuse for narrow lots. A fifty.
foot lot would hold two such houses
and make comfortable living quarters
for two families instead Of one.

WORKING on Y. IA. C. A.

Work has begun on the interior OF
the Y. M. G. A. building. About a
dozen local carpenters started opera
tons in the interior of the building
yesterday. The partitions are being
constructed, but how long this work
is to continue Is not known. The car
penters now at work are donating
their services to the cause and are
taking advantage of the slump In
their regular work. The building
rush will soon be on.
There Is now 1900 in the fund
IA the result of the SNOWFALL cam
paign. About $4,000 of this amount
Is pledged on condition that $4,000
is raised by April l. The actual
amount of money collected during the
tag day campaign is $40.
The solicitors held a Joint meeting
with the executive committee in the
Commercial club rooms. Hereafter
on Tuesday and Friday of each
week the Y. M. c. A. workers are
scheduled to meet in the club rooms
to discuss the proposition of raising
the remaining $4,000.
