one floor; 1t saves climbing up and

has always been to get rooms enough.
You cannot spread out very far in

house very wide without running into
considerable expense. This is what,
led architects to turn back about
hundred years to first principles, and
reinstate the combination dining room
and kitchen.
This house plan, as drawn, does not
provide for cellar; but there is no

The childs hair was as white as that

The disease of which the child died
is known as Raynaud's disease and is
very rare. Coroner Byrne called after
the little girls death and said he knew
of only one other such case during his

The day grew dark ana murky as
they moved steadily forward. the wind
blew cold from out the northwest, the
heavy canopy of cloud settled lower in
frosty fog, which gradually obscured
the landscape. This mist became SO
thick that the men could scarcely see
q hundred yards in any direction. and
Hamlin placed a pocket compass on
his saddle-pommel The trail was less
distinct as they traversed a wide
streak Of alkali, but what few signs re-
manned convinced WATSON that the fu-

fog his previous caution relaxed, and
he led the way at steady trot, only

from head to foot. clinging to the
horses hides, reddening and binding
the eyes, poisoning the lips dry and
parched with thirst. The two troopers
swore grimly, but the Sergeant and
scout rode in silence, bent low over
their pommels, eyes strained into the
mist ahead. 1t was not yet dark when
they rode in between the first sand
dunes, and WATSON, pulling his horse
up short, checked the others with up
lifted hand.

said, swinging down from the saddle
and studying the ground. "The wind
