After anySiCkness

nothing SO rapidly restores health
and vigor as SCOTS EMULSION.
1t is the essence of natural body
nourishment, so medically perfect
that nature Immediately appropri-
ates and distributes it to every
organ, every tissue-feeding,
nourishing and restoring them to
normal activity.
SCOTT'S EMULSION is not a
patent medicine, but is nature
body-nourishment with curative,
upbuilding properties and without
a drop of drug or alcohol. 1t CON
tains superior cod liver oil, the
hypophosphites of lime and soda
with glycerine, and is so delicately
emulsifed that it enters the system
without digestive effort builds,
tones and s'lstains.
After Group, whooping cough,
measles and other child ailments it
is natures ally in restoring health.
After grippe or pneumonia it
imparts strength and health, and
for colds, coughs, sore, tight chests
and throat troubles SCOTTS
EMULSION gives the greatest relief
known.

A style of house that is well liked
in the middle west is practically

roof and heavy veranda extending
clear across the front of the house.
Generally speaking, there is more
economy in a square house than In
any other form of building; but much
depends on the arrangement OF the in
terror A square house with hall
way in the center leaves the four
corners unobstructed and free for the
laying out Of good, square, sensible
rooms that may be lighted from two
sides.
The plan here given is 20 feet 6
inches in width, and % feet deep, ex-
elusive of the veranda; and it is full
two stories high, with an attic large
enough to supply all the necessary
storage room and upper ventilation.
A plan of this size gives space
enough for eight rooms, and the nee
essary stairways, closets, and bath

and the arrangement is sensible from
bottom to top. 1t is style of house
that looks well when new, and it will
always look well. 1t has the neces-

the proportions are symmetrical
Fancy houses are not SO common
as they used to be. The time was
when man thought he must have

The Judge, Yancy and Mahafry,
sprang from their chairs. Mr.. Ma
haffy was plainly shocked at the spec
tacle of Mr.. Cavendish's laWless viO-
lence. Yancy was disturbed, too. but
not by the moral aspects OF the case;
he was doubtful as to how his friends
act would appeal to the judge. he
need not have been distressed on that
score, since the judges one idea was
to profit by It, With his hands on his
knees he was now bending above the
two men.
What do you want to know,
judge?" cried Cavendish. painting from
his exertions. I'll learn this parrot
to talk up!"
Hicks" said the Judge. 1T is In
your power to tell us few things we
are here to find out Hicks looked
up into the judges face and closed
his lips grimly. "Mr. Cavendish,
kindly let him have the point OF that
large knife where he'll feel it most!"
ordered the judge.
Talk quick!" said Cavendish, with
ferocious scowl. 'Talk-or what's
to hinder me slicing open your WOOL
en-" and he pressed the blade OF his
knife against the overseer's throat.
Il don't know anything about Miss
Betty" said Hicks in a sullen wh1s'
per.
Maybe you don't, but what do you
know about the boy?" Hicks was
silent, but he was grateful for the
judges question From Tom Ware he
had learned of Fentress' interest in
the boy. Why should he shelter the
colonel at risk of himself? IF you
please, Mr.. Cavendish!" said the
judge, nodding toward the knife.
You didn't ask me about him. said
Hicks quickly.
Il do now" said the Judge.
He was here yesterday"
"Mr. Cavendish-" again the judge
glanced toward the knife.
Wait" cried Hicks. You go to
Colonel Fentress."
Let him up, Mr.. Cavendish; that's
all we want to know" said the judge.

CHAPTER XIV.
Colonel Fentress.

Colonel Fentress.
The Judge had not forgotten. mis-
ghost, the ghost he had seen IN Mr..
Saul's office that day he went TO the
court house on business for Charley
Norton. Working or idling principal
ly the latter--drunk or sober-prin-
cipaIty the forn1er-the ghost, other
wise Colonel Fentress, had preserved
"a place in his Thoughts, and Row as
he moved stolidly up the drive toward
Fentress' big white house on the hill
with MaTsaffy, Cavendish and Yancy
trailing in his wake, memories TT what
had once been living and vital crowd
ed in upon him. Some sense OF the
wreck that Uttered the long years, and
the shame of the open shame that had
swept away pride and self-respect,
came back to him out Of the past.
He only paused when he stood on
the portico before Fentress open
door. He glanced about him at the
wide fields, bounded by the distant
timber lands that hid gloomy bottoms,
at the great log barns in the hollow to
his right; at the huddle OF white
washed cabins beyond; then with his
big fist he reached in and pounded on
the door. The blows echoed foudly
through the silent house, and an in
slant later Fentress' tail, spare figure
was seen advancing from the far end
of the hail.
who is it?" he asked.
Judge Price-Colonel Fentress,"
said the judge.

HE thinks ne has!" muttered the
Judge under his breath.
"Will you come in?" 1t was mole
question than an invitation.

tInued. colonel Fentress-Mr Ma

Again the colonel bowed.
"Will you step into the library"
Very good" and the Judge followed
the colonel briskly down the ball.

The judge was lost in thought. He
permitted an interval OF silence to

he speak of Miss Malroy?" Hicks
shook his head Did you see her dur

Mr.. Hicks, because your experience is
so entirely at variance with my own.

intently and in silence. His nagniti.

been distraught he had not observed
any sign of it the previous day. Ii
Ware were better informed as to her
true mental state why had he chosen
this time to go to Memphis?

is awkward to close them after strang-

There are. however, other and more
important uses for reception room
of this kind. In most families, there
are children of school age, and they
should have room adapted to their
use in the evening. They need a

boys are treated in regard to their

they are kept warm. Any kind Of

rug, an old, battered bedstead, and a

Yancy paused
The judge drummed idly on the
desk.
{ What implacable hate-what iron
pride!" he murmured and swept his
hand across his eyes. Absorbed and
aloof, he was busy with his thoughts
that spanned the waste of years
years that seemed to glide before him

memories Of shame and defeat. Then
from the smoke of these lost battles
emerged the lonely figure of the child
