tried to push it away. He did not
want to go to his death drugged.
They were waiting for him, the re-

There was the doctor, lingering his

should force thousands of volts of cleo

Coningsby looked at the reporters.
Their faces, singularly blank. stared
impassively into his. He saw a young
man moistening his dry lips furtively.
He was already In the chair! He
had sat down, still absorbed in his
thoughts. Now it was all but over.
The chaplain, at his side. would soon
begin intoning the burial service. He
knew Just when the lever would fall.
I'm the midst of life we are In DEATH"
No word was spoken, but Coningsby
knew that the dreadful drama had al
ready begun. The electrodes were al
ready applied. He felt the straps
about him. He gripped the chair with
both his hands. He felt his eyeballs
throbbing. He heard the droning of
the clergyman beside him.
He stared out under the bandages
about his eyes. He saw the line of
CHASTITY faces opposite him. The little
reporter was wiping his forehead.
Somebody pressed down the bandage
again, but not before he had seen
Polly's face among those Of the as
sembled witnesses.
His blood ran sluggishly and icy
needles seemed to prick his veins.
Polly had come to see him die! The
thought was maddening. His eyes had
caught hers and he had seen hers
fixed on his with emotion, almost with
fear.
He tore the bandage from his eyes
and struggled in the chair. He drew
in deep breath. The guards placed
their hands on him and forced him
down. He knew that the fatal cur.

body while their hands were about

to raise, while the droning went ON be.

He cursed the warden. He fought

The kitchen Is back of the dining
room and is equipped with a model
pantry. While working at the table
in this pantry the shelves are handily
located to the right and the refrigera-
tor to the left. No time and energy
are wasted In moving about a large
room in the preparation Of a meal.
The refrigerator is iced from the rear
porch, thus preventing the tracking
Of mud into the kitchen by the ice
man. This pantry will prove to be
as interesting feature to the women
as the little den is to the men who
visit the owners of this bungalow

The corner Of the house opposite to
the porch Is occupied with two bed
rooms and bathroom, all Of which

The stairs into the basement are
reached through the hall In the rear

and may be used In many ways to add
to the utility of the house. It is
GIFTED with grade windows made pos.

up above the ground level. Storage
space is provided in the attic, which
may be reached from. the living room.
Taken in Its entirety, this bungalow

ABOUT TREE PLANTING.
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Evergreen trees may be planted sew.
eral weeks later than deciduous trees,
but as rule the earlier the work is
done the better
Keep the roots Of the trees and
shrubs covered with earth or damp
moss until the moment they are TO be
put into the ground. II not ready for
planting when the stock Is received,
take them from the box or bundle and
heel them In. This will keep the roots
from drying, and the labels should be
arranged so that any particular tree
can be selected as wanted.
Heellng.in consists Of digging a
trench, say foot deep and two feet
wide, in any convenient spot In the
garden. The roots Of the trees are set
In the trench and the earth sprinkled
over them so that all the roots will be
covered, firming the soil by treading
with the feet.
Thousands and thousands of trees
are killed every year by planters al.
lowing the roots to become dry, and the
nursery man from whom they are pur.
chased Is condemned for the careless
ness of the purchaser.
A stake should be set where each
tree or shrub is TO be planted, and the
name may be written ON the stake. Dig
the holes carefully and of ample size
so the roots may assume a natural po.
sltion in their new location. Put the
top soil around the roots and the bal.
ance on the surface.
Before the stock is set out prune the
branches back from a third TO a half
of last seasons growth. so the tree
will be able to thrive less the roots il
has lost through its removal from the
spot where II originally grew. Cut of
the ends of all bruised roots, leaving a
clean, smooth cut.
Set the trees so they will be as deer
as they stood In the nursery. The
feeding roots are near the surface
therefore, too deep planting is injuri.
Gus. Dwarf pears and budded roses
should be set with the bud two inches
below the surface.
Work the soil well In around the
roots, and as soon as the roots are
covered tramp down the soil with the
feet and gently pour in a pail Of water
and a second and third pail If the sol
Is dry, until the soil is thoroughly
moistened. Wait until the water hal
soaked in and then fill up the hole.
Do not plant trees on land that ha.
been cut down by grading and filled
In with earth from a cellar and ex
pect them to grow.

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth crumples Up and Makes g. sat
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.

In the region now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains q number of par
allel faults were developed close to-
gether and the broken pieces Of the
earth's crust between them were
pushed up. the rocks on one side of
each crack riding up over those on
the other side until great mountain
range was formed where once lay
plain. During the long period of slow
earth movement which made these
mountains, flat-lying parallel beds Of
rock were locally turned on edge,
crumpled up and folded in a wonde,-
fully intricate manner. These up
turned and crumpled rocks are well e1-
posed In Ogden canyon. The west face
Of the Wasatch range is believed to
mark the place Of a normal fault at
nearly vertical crack in the earth's
crust, the rocks on the east side of
which went down. The forces which
have raised these mountains are still
active, for movement along this fault

porch columns. The exterior is quite

inviting features Of the entire house.
The rear wall Of the den is occupied
with a big brick fireplace having a
bookcase built against the wall on

double easement window In the other
wall.
The dining room Is connected to the
living room through a 45-degree

these two rooms into one large room

looked, is by the use Of novel hard
ware fittings for doors and windows.
Although scrutiny of the pictures of
old castles and other structures of by
gone days will offer many sugges-
tion which might be used in obtain.
Ing novel hardware fittings, especial.
ly for door hinges, 1t Is seldom that
any of these unique fittings are used
In home building. Perhaps 1t is be-
cause the massive hinges and locks
of those olden days were used, not
for their appearance, but for their
strength, and their use is still asso-
ciated with that same idea. II so, II
Is a mistaken idea, for it Is possible
to use just such fittings on even a
little bungalow with very pleasing
effect. A bungalow is shown here
which has more than the ordinary in
dividuality and yet there is nothing
which is not attractive In its unique
ness.
The appearance Of the front door Is
an indication of what may be obtained
by the use Of distinctive hardware.
The hinges are of heavy brass and ex-
tend nearly across the width Of the
door. The door knob and plate are
also Of heavy, substantial construc-
tion, In harmony with the hinges. The
windows at the top Of the door are
narrow strips Of plate glass running
parallel to the hinges. This door has
very massive appearance, but 1t
blends well with the other features
of this little structure.
The front porch Is set around one
corner of the house and the door is
built into this corner. The portion of
the roof covering the porch is sup
ported by three pillars set upon rough
brick columns. and low railing is
carried around the porch at the level
of the top of the brickwork. The
sides of the bungalow are covered
with rough siding up to the gables,
which are shingled In alternate wide
and narrow rows There is a decided
contrast between these two methods
of finishing. but the effect is very
pleasing. The many gables give a
roof effect which emphasizes the
broad solidity Of the design and also

small doll Of wool. 1t may be black

Nearly all people are gifted with a
desire to possess home which Is
different from that Of their neighbors.
As result there are a great variety
Of ways In which house may be
finished: Wood. brick, stone of all
kinds, concrete blocks, stucco and all
combinations Of these have aided In
the conquest for variety; the archi-
tects and contractors have worked
overtime to produce new and distinc-
tive details Of house design. The
work of all ages and all lands Is gath.
cred together to contribute to the sat.
isfactIon Of the modern home builder.
At various times type Of construc.
tion Is found which seems to be par
ticularly suited to some certain local
ity. but 1t Is invariably only short
time when this type Is found to be
applicable to other localities, after a
few changes have been made to adapt
1t to different climate. An illustra-
ton may be taken from the wide use
of the bungalow type Of home, which,
although especially adapted to the
needs Of the California home builder,
Is nevertheless furnishing very sat
isfaetory type of construction for
those building In the middle and east
ern states. This type of home is no
longer a novelty in its newer loca-
tions, and II is now necessary for the
home builder who appreciates the
convenience OF the bungalow but who
still wishes to obtain distinctive
house, to call upon the designer to in
corporate some novel features into his
plans which will mark the finished
structure as decidedly different from
the bungalows usually constructed.

OHIO INVESTORS WILL REVIVE.
 THE JESSIE
STOCKHOLDERS TO PRO- VIDE LARGE DEVELOP MENT FUND BY ISSUING BONDS, IS REPORT.

Private advices were received in this city yesterday from Columbus, Ohio, which would indicate that the Ohio Mines Company will be active in Chaparral in very snort time, iii operating the Little Jessie gold hold ings.
 The method of financing the prop crty for large development will be by ! bond issue, in which many old stock holders have signifed their willing ness to become subscribers, on the report made by w. H. Smith, who dc voted several weeks in personally carrying out certain exploration carly in the year. Mr. Smith is a large shareholder of the company, also, and was at the camp during its active career when his company was in charge. as well is he conversant with leasing operations later. His recent examination was made 10 ascertain actual conditions to the depth reached by leasers, and he is reported as say ing he is optimistic over the showing made. He has recommended the re timbering of the old shaft to depth of over 400 feet with the opening up of new levels and extending the old ones into zones known to carry rich orc bodies.
 In anticipation of the carly resump- ton of this famed gold producer oi the 'o0s, surface improvements were made last Winter, and with other pre- liminary work, the property IS ready 10 assume practical regard as soon as its financial affairs arc adjusted
