from wrong she knew, and that

Right from wrong she knew, and that sufficed her.
 Her immediate relatives were dead; those who were distantly related re- mained so, z" they had no part in her life nor she in theirs. From her father she had inherited a remarkable and seldom errant judgment. To her, faces were generally book covers, they re- pelled or attracted; and she found large and undiminishing interest in the faculty of pressing back the cov- CTS and reading the text. Often bat tered covers held treasures, and often the editions de luxe were swindles. But in between the battered covers and the exquisite Florentine hand-tool- ing there ranged a row of mediocre books; and it was among these that Elsa found that her instinct was not wholly infallible, as will be seen.
 Today she was facing the first prob- lem of her young life, epochal. She was, as it were, to stop and begin life anew. And she didn't know. she wasn't sure.
 There were few passengers aboard. There were three fussy old English maidens under the protection of still fussier old colonel. The quartet greatly amused Elsa. Their mods were abrupt. and they spoke in the most formal manner. She was under grave suspicion; in the first place. she was travelling alone in the second place, she was an American. At table there was generally desultory conversation and many barb of malice Elsa shot from her bow Figuratively, the colo nel walked about like a porcupine, bristling with arrows instead of quills. Elsa could have shouted at times, for the old war dog was perfectly obliv- ious. There was, besides, the inevi- table German tourist, who shelled with questions every man who wore brass buttons. until there was some serious talk of dropping him astern some day He had shelled the colonel, but that gentleman was snugly incased in the finest and most impenetrable Besse mer, complacency.
 Upon these Irrawaddy boats the purser is usually the master of cere monies in the dining saloon. Elsa | usually sat at the purser's right, and l tonight she found the stranger sit ting quietly at her side. The chair had | been vacant since the departure from Mandalay. Evidently the purser had decided to be thorough in regard to her wishes. It would look less con spicuous to make the introduction in this manner. And she wanted to meet this man who had almost made her cry out in astonishment.
 Miss Chetwood Mir. Warrington. This was as far as the purser would unbend.
 The colonels eyes popped; the hands of the three maidens fluttered Warrington bowed awkwardly. for he was decidedly confused.
 "Ha." boomed the German. Vat do you tink uff
 And from soup to coffee Warrington eluded, dodged, stepped under and ran around the fusillade of questions.
 Elsa laughed softly. There were breathing spells, = be sure. Under the cover of this verbal lombard ment she found time to inspect the

 Immediately after dinner she retired to her stateroom, conscious that her balance needed readjusting. She had heard and read much lore concerning reincarnation, skeptically; yet here, within call of her voice, was Arthur, not the shadow of a substance, but Arthur, shorn of his elegance, his soft, lazy voice. his half-dreaming eyes. his charming incidence. Why should this mans path cross hers, out of all the millions that ran parallel?
 She opened her window and looked up at the stars again. She wondered what this man had done to put him beyond the pale. It was not possible that dishonor lurked behind those frank blue eyes. She turned from the window and threw open one of her kit-bags, delved among the soft fab rics and silks and produced a photo graph. She had not glanced at it dur ing all these weeks. There had been purpose back of this apparent neg lect. The very thing she dreaded hap pened. Her pulse beat on, evenly. un- stirred. She was a failure.
 In the photograph the mans beard was trimmed Valois; the beard of the man who had sat next to her at dinner had grown freely and naturally. full. Such a beard was out of fashion. save among country doctors. It signified carelessness, indifference, or full life wherein the niceties of the razor had of necessity been ignored, Keenly she searched the familiar likeness. What an amazing freak of nature, It was unreal. She tossed the photo graph back into the kitbag. bewil- dered. uneasy.
 Meantime Warrington followed the purser into his office. T haven't paid for my stateroom yet" he said.

 Yes. But I'm in difficulty l have nothing in change but two rupees"
 The purser froze visibly. The tale was trte in his ears.
 But fancy I've rather good secu-i- ty to offer," went on Warrington cool ly He drew from his wallet a folded slip of paper and spread 1t out.
 The purser stared at it, enchanted. Warrington stared down at the purser, equally enchanted.

Ewes In Wet Weather.

During wet weather no farmer will want to have the ewes running over his fields. Both the land and the ewes will be harmed if the animals run over the fields in the mud. A pen large enough for the purpose can be pro- vided. and the ewes can get their ex- ercise during rainy weather. and after there is no more roughness to be picked out of the fields.

One Corn Variety.

There can be no doubt as to the ad- visibility of community agreeing on a variety and every corn grower rais- ing it. This variety should be the one found best by the actual experiences of corn growers and by experiment station tests, if such have been made. Such step should tend to increase the amount of corn grown and make a uniform product which is more mar- ketable

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Elihu Root, with

pearance of the bungalow from the street. Sloping the lot toward the back makes conditions right for a household workshop in the back end of the basement
 The same filling-in of the lot helps to keep the front end of the cellar cool for storage purposes. The best bungalow construction has a cross wall to divide the storage cellar from the laundry and furnace room so that the best possible use may be made of the basement cellar.
 Another modification of the bunga- low effect for rainy sections of the
The Spectator., 1915-04-06

country is in the pitch of the roof. Bungalows in climates of small rain- fall have the traditional flat roof, but when the rainfall exceeds 20 or 24 inches then roofs are made sleeper. The sleeper roofs may be held down in appearance by the treatment of the gables, to certain extent.
 In this little five-room bungalow we have an artistic fascia. The peaks of the gables conform to bungalow ideas by introducing an artistic effect that is thoroughly in keeping with the subject. The windows and window frames also are in keeping with the oddities of bungalow building. Also the cellar windows are shaped in con formity with the larger windows, but do not not follow too closely any one particular pattern.
 The cellar windows are set in the siding of the house, the same as the larger windows that light the living rooms, which is one reason for the window family likeness.
 Another bungalow feature is the manner in which the timbers are reached out from the gable ends of the house to support the wide roof projec- tion: also the cornice trim at the gables is especially interesting be- cause of the manner in which the fascia is cut at the peak and at the caves.
 The front porch is F feet by feet. and is so protected by the overhang- ing cornice that it makes a very com
