CHAPTER Nv.
TWO DAYS of Paradise.

wv Lays VI
At first Elsa did not know whether
she was annoyed or amused. The
mans action was absurd, or would
have been in any other man. His adj
vice to her to go home was downright
impudence; and yet the sight of the
parrot cage dangling at his side made
1t impossible for her to take lasting
offense. Once upon a time there had
been little boy who played in her
garden. When he was cross lie would
take his playthings and go home. The
boy might easily have been this man
Warrington, grown up.
Of course he would come and apollo
gize to her for his rudeness. Perhaps
he had resented her curiosity; perhaps
her questions had been pressed too
hard; and perhaps he had suddenly
doubted her genuine interest. At any
rate it was a novel experience And
that bewildering likeness!
She returned to her chair and opened
the book again. And as she read her
wonder grew. The diction was ex-
quisite; there was style; but now as
she read there was lacking the one
thing that stood for life-blood. 1t did
not pulsate in the veins of these
people. Until now she had not recog-
nized this fact, and she was halfway
through the book. What had happened
to her since yesterday? To what cause
might be assigned this opposite angle
of vision, so clearly defined?
The book fell upon her knees and
dreamily she watched the perspective
open and divaricate. The low banks
with their golden haze of dust, the
cloudless sky, the sad and lonely white
pagodas, charmed her; and the Ian
guor of the East crept stealthily into
her northern blood. She was not con-
scious of the subtle change; she only
knew that the world of yesterday was
unlike that Of today.
Warrington, after depositing Rajah
in the stateroom, sought the bench on
the stern deck. He filled his Guilty
with purser-loaned tobacco and roundly
damned himself as blockhead He
had forgotten all the niceties Of civil
lization; he no longer knew how to be-
have. The first young woman in all
these years who had treated him as an
equal, and he had straightway proceed
ed to lecture her upon the evils of
travelling alone in the Orient!
And yet he had told her the truth.
It was not right that a young and at
tractive woman should wander about
in the East, unattended save by a
middle-aged companion 1t would pro-
woke the devil in men who were not
wholly bad. Women had the fallible
idea that they could -ead human ma
ture. and never found out their mis-
take until after they were married.
He knew her kind. If she wanted to
walk through the bazaars in the eve
ming she would do so. If a man fol-
lowed her she would ignore the fact.
If he caught up with her and spoke she
would continue on as if she had not
heard. If man touched her she would
rely upon the fire of her eyes. She
would never call out for help. Some
women were Just that silly.

stories like that, but I'd rather hear
them told f1rst-hand."
Elsa was not romantic in the sense
that she saw heroes where there were
only ordinary men; it was the OBJ
scure and unknown hero who appealed
to her: such one as this man might
be.
oh. there was nothing splendid
about the thing. l simply hung on"
Then thought struck him. You are
travelling alone?"
With companion" A peculiar
question, she thought.
1T is not wise," he commented.
My father was soldier" she re-
piled.
1T isn't question of bravery" he
explained, a bit of color charging un-
der his skin. This world is not like
your world. Women over here.
Oh, I've lost the art of saying things
clearly" He pulled at MS beard en-
barrassedly.
Are you warning me against your
SELF"
why not? Twenty thousand pounds
do not change man; they merely
change the public's opinion of him.
For all you know, may be the great
est rascal unhanged"
But you are not"
He recognized that it was not a
| query; and a pleasurable thrill ran
over him. Had there been the least
touch of condescension in her manner
he would have gone deep into his
shell.
No; there are worse men in this
world than l. But we are getting away
from the point, of women travelling
alone in the East. Oh, l know you
can protect yourself to a certain ex-
tent But everywhere, on boats, in
the hotels, on the streets, are men
who have discarded all the laws of
convention, of the social contract. And
they have the keen eye of the kite and
| the vulture"
To Elsa this interest in her welfare
was very diverting. in other words,

ings finally won out as being not only
the best, but the only plan whereby
the poultry house could be properly
ventilated in winter.
The scientific principles of this lit
tie poultry house are recognized as be-
ing the nearest approach to perfec-
ton OF anything in the shape Of .
poultry house.
The roof is low ct the back. some
of these poultry houses being not
more than three feet high at the north
side and about seven feet, in front.
Old-fashioned poultry houses were
built for the convenience of the atten-
dant. Modern poultrymen have an
idea that a poultry house should be
built to accommodate the fowls and as
they are not especially high headed,
a low ceiling will keep them warm
and work out better in practice than
when the building is constructed with
more headroom. Poultry do not need
a great amount of cubic air space but
they do need frequent change OF air.
It was in New York state that the
lime floor was tried out, and is still
in use in Just such poultry houses as
this. The whole ground space is Gov
cred with Stacked lime instead OF con-
crete, because lime Is softer and wears
tie claws less, at the same time SAM
tary conditions are Just as good. IA

many different kinds of poultry in

to treat the inside Of the house with

The plan Of this poultry house pro-
vides two compartments about fifteen
feet square each. An expert poultry
man or woman will keep forty hens
in each compartment through the win
ter and keep them in good laying con-
t.tion. 1t is considered the most prac-
tical and satisfactory way Of housing
poultry In the winter time in New
York state climate.
It is customary to provide from
three to five square feet of floor area
per fowl. There are about 225 square
feet of floor surface in each room.

The simplest form of q practical
poultry house is built on the shed
roof plan. 1t faces the south and has
windows rather high up in front to ad-
NIT sunshine clear back to the roosts
The design shown in the perspec-
tive and floor plan was worked out by
the president of the Poultry associa-
ton of New York state some twelve
or fifteen years ago. He wanted a
poultry house sixteen feet from front
to back. He was particular to have
the ends and back of the building
made alright by the use of building
paper or felt roofing and matched cell.
Ing inside of good quality put on with
thick paint in the groove. He did not
care much about the outside Of the
building, so long as the material was
good and we'll put together, but the
inside occupied his attention until he
got a practical house that gave uni
versal satisfaction.
Along with the shed roof design and
scratching shed practice came the So
called curtain front. The size Of the
curtain front area must be regulated
to suit the climate Usually the front
sash are hung from the top Of the
