! BUILDING COSTS
| Are Not ExOrbitant
The impression seems to
prevail that building ma
terial prices are very high
and that the prospective
builder who holds off will
be. able to buy bargains
Later.
The fact is that build
ing material prices have
advanced somewhat in
the last three years-but
not in proportion to the
advance in other lines.
And the difference is
this: The advance we
have had to make is
bound to be perman-
ent, because they are
based on perrnantly
higher producing costs !
such as advanced wa \
ges, higher freights, etc |
There is no element j
of artificial initiation in /
our prices and they |

fraid to ask any one.
He went home, sad and brighten
ed, and at dinner could eat moth
ing but a teenty piece of lemon pie.
Are you sick, Freddy?" asked
mama.
Nom" answered Fred. Not
very much"
After dinner he Went out in the
yard and sat down. He wished he
dared ask about Mrs. Bell and Kitty.
Oh, dear, what should he do?
He went out to the barn pretty
soon and climbed UP ON the hay.
How his heart thumped whenever
he heard any one coming.
1t was nearly five o'clock when
he slid down from the hay NOV.
He didn't say word to any one,
but started off through the past
ure.
away but it didn't take Freddy long
to reach it,
How still everything was. and
the blinds were shut as if some
ore We're sick. For minute Fred
dies heart stood still What if
Mrs. Bell and Kitty were he dared
not say the dreadful word.
He went to the door at last
and asked for the doctor. Dr. Bell
was in his study, and Fred went
slowly in.
"Well. my boy" said the DOCTOR
looking up from the paper he was
reading, What can | do for
you?'
Freddy cholSed up "How
how's Mrs. Bell and and I<ittie?"
he asked
why" cried the doctor. whats
the matter with them?"
THE horse ran away" gasped
Freddy. "Oh. DR.. Bell, / tied the
| fire-crackers up in the tree" and
then he told the STORY the
whole pi,iful story.
there was no harm DONE" and he
threw his head back and laughed.
Freddy didn't like to be laugh
ed at. Didn't anyone get hurt?"
i he stammered.
Mo-" said the doctor. "Noddy
couldn't hurt anyone if he tried
He did run home the best he could,
and he got here little sooner
than if he had walked, but bless
your heart, he couldn't hurt any

THE RUNAWAY.

"What'll we do next?" asked
Fred, I've got whole bunch of
fire crackers
We've done most everything, +"
answered Ned I'm hungry. Fourth
of July amt much after ALL"
See here" Teddy had an idea.
Lets tie EN- UP in that tree
and touch EN- off. Won't it be
fun to see them go off among the
leaves"
They all agreed it would be great
fun so Fred pulled Off his jack
ct and went up the tree. He
caught the bunch of fire-crackers
in limb where it was hidden
with leaves and touched a match
to it.
He slid down the tree then, but
the popping had begun before he
reached the ground
Wasn't it funny? People \began
to stop. and to look up and down
and around.
Just then DIR. Bells wife and
little girl came driving by.
The horse had not thought of
getting frightened for years, but

going off in that fashion.
He looked at the tree in terror
fer a moment, then he started off
in mad gallop up the road, oyer
the hill and out of sight
Who did that?" asked LAWYER
Graham. "Who tied those fire crack
ers up there? DR.. Bell can make
MIN smart fer it. If it were my
family Id make whoever did that
smart in way he wouldn't like"
Oh, dear; what made him do
it? Freddy knew he looked pale
and frightened, and he felt that
everyone could see that he was
the hoy who ought to smart" He
wondered if Mrs. Bell and Kitty
were hurt what they would do
with him.
I'm glad 'twasn't me-" said Ned.
But we WON'T tell twas you, Fred"
AS if that could be any comfort
to Fred. There was dreadful lump
in his throat and he couldn't speak.
He wanted to find out if Mrs. Bell
