STORAGE of Water.

The shortage of water in country
districts might be obviated if there
were sufficient storage for the rainfall.
It is a matter Of tank or we'll accom-
modation-and the owner of cottage
property does not as a rule provide
either. The usual forty-gallen oil bar
rel owned by the tenant is an made
quate supplement to the spring water
we'll or pump. In wet weather the
barrel overfows, the cottage walls
reek with damp, and the yard is often
a quagmire Given the average rain
fall for the district and the roof area
of the cottage, it is an easy matter to
work out the quantity of water thus
wasted. In a very dry corner of dry
East Anglia, from cottage and out
buildings nc bigger than the average
agricultural laborer's, it is possible to
collect and store 1000 gallons OF clean

CHAPTER xiv.-continued.

During one breathless instant the
wizened man stood as il disbelieving
his ears, the enormity Of the insult
robbing him of speech and motion.
Then he uttered a snarl, and Stover
was barely in time to intercept the
backward fling of his cropping hand.
"No voylence, Willie! There's la
dies present"
Stover's captive ground his teeth
and struggled briefly, then turned and
made for the open prairie without a
word.

hoarse laughter, saying:

was plain. He had doubted from the

derstanding came also a menace to
his own careful plans. If Covington
ran in Speeds place, how could he eff

back to the house he had to think
pretty rapidly.

Helen explained, with pride of one
displaying her own handiwork: "Mr.

morrow You are just in time to see

Covington was genuinely amazed.
I'm not going to box. It's foot

In his hewilderment the late-comer
might have unwittingly betrayed his

Where is Roberta?"
"Roberta!" Covington tripped over
one of his crutches. Roberta who?"
why, Roberta Keap, of course!

chum a look of dumb entreaty, but
Speed was staring round-eyed into
space, striving to read the future.
Helen started to fetch her just as
the pallid chaperon was entering the
door.
She shook hands with Covington.
She observed that he was too deeply
affected at sight of her to speak. and
it awakened fresh misgiIings in her
mind.

This coiffure may be managed by
any one having fairly thick hair, even
IL it is short. Brunettes are blessed
with hair even in color, and the coils
at the back are easily managed with
short novelties which will match the
natural hair exactly. 1t is not SO easy
for blonas to find perfect match, as
blond hair is generally somewhat
streakeG.
In dressing this coiffure nearly all
of the hair is combed back to form the
coils. These require four strands,
and they are parted off evenly. BY
waving the hair little it is easier to
make the coils full and light and gives
