The room did not look sinister, but

lever willed. When Jim was apprised
of this fact, he ran madly about IN

ing full well in his heart that hs
should not find one.
Presently the machinery began to
work, and Norton's tongue grew dry
with terror. They had him this time;
there was not the least doubt of il.
And they had led him there by the
nose into the bargain.
Twenty minutes passed, and Jones
concluded it was time for him to act
He went forward to try the door, but
this time it was locked. Jones, how
ever, was not without resource. The
house next door was vacant, and he
found a way into this, finally reaching
the roof. From this he jumped to the
other roof, found the scuttle open, and
crept down the stairs, flight after
fight, till the whir of a motor arrest
ed him.
Conspirators are often overeager,
too. So intent were the rascals upon
the business at hand that they did
not notice the door open slowly. 1t
did not take the butler more than
a moment to realize that his friend
and any was rear certain death. With
an oath he spraag into the room, gave
Braine a push which Sent him down
to join the victim. and pitched into the
other two. 1t was a battle royal while
1t lasted. Jones knocked down one Of
them, yelled to Norton, and kicked the
rope he saw down into the pit. One
end of this rope vas attached TO a ring
in the wall. And up this rope Norton
swarred after he had disposed Of
Braire. The tide of battle then
swung about in favor of the butler,
and shortly the fake reporter and his
companion were made to join their
chief.
Jones stopped the machinery. He
could not bring himself to let his e.
emies die SO horribly. Later he knew
he would regret this sentiment.
When the people came, summoned
by some outsider who had heard the
racket Of the conflict, there was no
one to be found In the pit. Nor was
there any visible sign of an exit.
There was one. however, built
against such an hour and known only
to the chiefs Of the Black Hundred.
And still the golden tinted hank

Preventing Premature eurlais.
The fear Of being buried alive al
ways has been. and is. SO widespread
that the French Academy Of Science
some years ago offered . prize equal
to $500 for the discovery Of some
means by which even the inexperi-
enced might at once determine wheth-
or. in q given case. death had ensued
or not. A physician obtained the
prize. He had observed the following
well-known signs: II the hand Of the
suspected dead person is held towards
a candle or other artificial light, with
the fingers extended and one touching
the other, and one looks through the
spaces between the fingers towards
the light, there appears a scarlet red
color where the fingers touch each
other, due to the blood still circulat-
ing; 1t shows itself through the It's
sues which have not yet congested.
When life is entirely extinct; the phe-
nomenon Of scarlet spaces between
the fingers at once ceases. The most
extensive and thorough trials estab-
lished the truth Of his observation.

In this little five-room bungalow

Of the gables conform to bungalow
ideas by introducing an artistic effect

oddities of bungalow building. Also
the cellar windows are shaped in con-

do not not follow too closely any one

The cellar windows are set In the

Portable outdoor sitting room In sum-
mer. 1t is a typical bungalow porch
with wide steps and heavy columns
which are fenced between with mis-
sion style of railing without spindles.
The chimney is rough stucco fin
ish, the size and design of which Is
similar to the heavy porch pillars.
The similarity includes the caps on
the porch and the chimney top.
The plan of the rooms also Is
worked out in true bungalow fashion,
with two bedrooms and a bathroom on
one side Of the house and the three
living rooms on the other side. When
ever possible, the living rooms are
laid out on the sunny side OF the
house, because so much more time Is
spent in the living rooms than In the
bedrooms.
Provision IL made for q stairway
to tho cellar going down from the
| kitchen. This stair is laid out VIII
wide treads and easy risers. because
| the housewife makes a good many
| trips to the cellar and back while at
tending to the many household duties
during the day. The value OF An easy
cellar stair is appreciated in . bunga'
low more than In the regular two-story
house, because 1t is the only stair and
more use 10 made Of 1t. -
