effects Of his debauch. That seemed
strange 30 some of the neighbors. for
Armstrong was known as an unusually
temperate man. There doubtless was
some malicious gossip. but the husband
was buried In the crowded churchyard.
Before he had been there. among the
rude forefathers Of the hamlet, for "a
hours, the widow had married a young
man named Maxwell. Then there was
more talk-enough to fasten the events
in the memories Of the Inhabitants, for
future use.
Sarah and her new husband conduct
ed the Inn for many years. Sarah be-
came the mother of several admirable
children, and was In every way an ex-
cellent matron. As she waxed older
she became devout and was free with

eyes often were upon her as he talked,
for a good listener is a great help to
a clergyman. and this motherly woman
seemed so intelligent and appreciative
mat II was a pleasure to talk to her.
The new preacher was DR.. John
Dome, one Of the truly great men Of
ms ume. He had accepted living
in Huntngdonshire and occasionally
PREACHED there. although most Of his
zine WAS spent in London. He was q

filed on the site Of the proposed barn.
The favored structure Is cOmblna-
ton dairy and horse barn such as is
shown in the illustrations.
This particular structure Ii 36 feet
In width by 60 feet In length and fur
nishes stabling for q cows and seven
horses. 1t Is designed according to
the latest practice In farm-building ar
chltecture. The width is based upon
the proper size Of stalls for the cows,
together with a correct allowance for
feed and litter alleys. Since the horse
stalls are placed crossways OF the barn
they do not enter into the determine
ton of width. Eight feet of clear head
room Is allowed over the COW stalls,
and nine feet over the horse stalls.
These values are based upon what Is
considered correct from q standpoint
Of ventilation.
The whole foundation is Of concrete
with fOOtings and piers reaching down
to solid ground, below frost level, and
firmly embedded to prevent settling.
When the NOW above the stables is
filed to the peak, a great weight is
added to the building and this neces-
states the construction Of good I'M
derpinning which will keep the build
ing square and plumb and will prevent
cracks In the concrete work. The en-
tire floor Is made Of concrete, with gut
tiers and hangers formed in 1t for the
COW stalls. The proper slope is CIV
en- all standing floors. and the feed
alley floor ls raised slightly above
these.

tastic moods and fancies. Some Of
his poetry was as light as thistledOwn,
and sbme was profound. Now it was
yOluptuous, and again morbid.
He wrote much about the mystery
of death, and that subject interested
him to such degree that he haunted
graveyards. One day he stood in the
graveyard surrounding his church and
watched the weary sexton at work. It
was an old, old cemetery, and every
time a grave was dug bones were
thrown up. Poor people buried there
could not count upon undisturbed re-
pose. In few years at most they
would have to make way for others.
Presently, as the sexton welded his
shovel, he threw out a skull, and the
preacher picked 1t up, and doubtless
mOraliZed upon the vanity of human
life. AS he turned it around in his
hands, his fingers encountered a pro-
lection. 1t was the head Of a nail.
Examination showed that the nail had
been driven through the skull, and 1t
still protruded into the inner cavity
two or three inches.
The reverend doctor realized at once
that horrid crime had been commit
ted. He questioned the sexton as to
whose grave had been disturbed, but
the sexton didn't know. He had off,
ciated OILY few years. Perhaps his
predecessor might remember. The
predecessor was a white and wintry
gaffer who lived at some distance.
Dome hunted him up, and took him
to the graveyard. The old mans wits
were feeble, but his memory for all
things connected with dead mems
bones was accurate. He at once an
nounced that the grave had been occu-
pied by Armstrong. the innkeeper.
Doctor Dome inquired about the VII
lage concerning the death of Arm
strong, and the oldest inhabitants re-
called the wife's queer story, and her
remarkable haste to get married again.
There was reason for suspicion, at
least; but the good doctor found 1t
almost impossible to believe that the
fine, devout woman who listened to his
sermons SO closely could be guilty Of
an atrocious crime. If ever calm
untroubled face spoke Of clear con-
science, the face belonged to that
woman.
But he felt 1t his duty to set his
doubts at rest. If she was guilty, the

SLAYDEN'S TALE OF TEXAS COURTESY

Representative James L. Siayden
Of San Antonio. Tex, was about to

town In his district one night when
word was brought that prominent
citizen had Just shot a man. Without

travelled far to make his address. but
he knew that everybody In town would
want to go and gaze at the body or
the man who was shoe, rather than
hear about politics.
On the following morning as he
was waiting for his train to pull out.
Slayden received a message. II was
handed to him by the sheriff Of the
county and was from the man who had
done the numbering the night before.

The tinal point OF Importance in the
design OF this barn Is the ventilatIng
system. The value Of good ventilation
In dairy and horse barn can hardly
be oyerestimated. 1t Is not only OF
prime importance In keeping the live
stock In the best Of health. but II even
goes 80 far rs TO effect the amount OF
feed which Is required to maintain the
stock. Foul air. robbed of Its oxygen
co tent. Is not effective In keeping the
temperature Of the animals up to the
normal value which Is required for
good health, and rs q result the cattle
and horses must eat more food TO bring
up, the temperature of their bodies.
Three sheet-steel ventilators are used
In the system installed In this barn.
The central ventilator Is used exclu-
sIvely for the ventilation of the now.
Each OF the two end ventilators Is con-
nected to two foul-alr passages. These
passages are carried down the four
corners OF the barn to the stables.
Fresh air Is guided into the barn In
such a way that Il Is liberated at the
center near the heads Of the animals.
This Is the only correct system Of
barn ventilation. Air which Is al
lowed to Hoat aimlessly around In a
burn will soon become stale and com

eight-reel picture featuring George
Beban, and put on for the benefit of st.
| Margarets Mission. TT was weepy, but
| / liked It." said one lady afterwards,
which perhaps expresses the concensus
of opinion cogclusively. The picture is
adopted from the vaudeville skit The
Sign of the Rose"
Eight reels make a long picture, and
some Of the audience were restless
during the first part, but during the
last four reels one could have, heard a
! pin drop. Except for the music anC
the noise Of the machine the audience
was perfectly still. The picture itself
displays some really remarkable acting
on the part OF Mr.. Beban, whose facial
expressions are even more appealing
than spoken words. When he comes
in with his arms full Of Christmas
things, and calls "Ro- ma" at the foot
of the stairs, happiness Is In every line
Of his face. When he goes up stairs,
and sees the people in his room, the
expression changes to wonder; then,
when he realizes that his little "bam-
bina" is dead, to that Of heart-rending
grief.
There Is long story, but the main
part is the fact that Pietro has little
girl Rosina whom he loves dearly. She
is run down by an automobile and
killed, and when her father tries to buy
rose for her, he is taken for Black
Handler, by mistake. The rest of the
plot is worked out in very complete
details, from the regular party which
Phil Griswold puts on, to Santa Claus
riding behind his reindeey in the vision
which Rosina sees when her father
tells her about Christmas. There arc
many good scenes as well as good
acting. The two children did especial
ly well, but the work Of Mr.. Beban-
undoubtedly takes first place.
