By WILLIAM A. RApEoRn.

There can be no denying the fact that the bungalow occupies an impor- tant place among the several types of buildings now being used for residence purposes. The number of homes which have been built after this type is q suf- ficient indication of it's usefulness. Here we give the word, bungalow, a liberal meaning, since in it's literal sense it would hardly apply to a mod ern American home, no matter how simple. If We take the word to mean a one-story house, modern in it's design and appointments and so constructed that it will appear "close to the ground" the foregoing statement stands correct.
 The bungalow, as we have broadly defined it, is perhaps the most widely used building type, with respect to the varying density of population, of all building types. The bungalow is found in the smallest of villages as well as in the outlying parts of the largest cities. It's appeal is universal because it is type which may be made thoroughly expressive of popular idea. Every9 one likes the coziness which is best expressed in this style. Everyone likes the homelike atmosphere which Is in the house itself even before the decorating is done. It is easy to make home out of a bungalow.
 The bungalow which is shown in the accompanying illustrations represents a novel treatment of exterior details and at the same time will serve to il-

pearance will be inherent in the house. It would, therefore, defeat the purpose of the design to build such q house on land considerably higher than the sur rounding ground. On the other ex- treme, no house, not even bungalow, looks well when it is given squatty appearance by it's surroundings. Aside from the appearance, there is also the danger of poor drainage when the ground upon which the house is built has no slope whatever.
 The house under consideration, then, when built upon the average 50-foot lot, should have grade at the house es- tablished not more than two feet above the street sidewalk level. if the lawn Is to be sloped down from the house to the sidewalk. By the use of q ter raced lawn 1t is possible to obtain the desired appearance when the house grade is considerably above this dis tance with respect to the street side walk. The bungalow does not look well too near the street. The nearer the back of the lot the better, unless the houses already built on the street make this location undesirable.

 Boy Locked Cop Up.

In the outlying districts of New York there are little block houses connected by telephone to summon the policeman stationed there. When protection is needed the cop will go to those who call him as fast as his motorcycle will take him, and frequently the officer is commented for his speed, valor, com mon sense and kindliness. Under the circumstances it is but natural that he came to regard himself as one of the best cops that ever wore the uni form. Pride, it will be recalled. cometh just previous to the fall. There is a hasp lock on the door of the po- lice blockhouse, and as the policeman stood within champing at the delay be- tween calls, boy of four walked along and locked the door on nim. The win- dows of the block house are about a foot in diameter, and as the policeman called frantically after the little des. perado he saw him disappear with all the speed his legs could muster. For two hours the mighty one waited in the deserted section for the call that would spoil his wonderful record o1 efficiency. It did not come, fortunate ly, until a little girl had wandered along, caught the poiceman's keys and released him. He did not speak frank ly until his young savior was well out of sight.

 'Dear child, am doing these things 1 because I like to do them. For-for some time I've been floating, and now I've got home."
 Sidney gazed helplessly at his i'm perturbable face. He seemed older than she had recalled him: the hair over his ears was almost white. And yet he was just thirty. That was Palmer Howe's age, and Palmer seemed like boy. But he held him. self more erect than he had in the first days of his occupancy of the second floor front.

 "When think of how simple I used to think 1t all was One grew up and got married, and-and perhaps had children. And when one got very old, one died.

 "All knowledge that is worth while hurts in the getting"
 Sidney got up and wandered around the room, touching it's little familiar objects with tender hands. K. watched her. There was this curious element in his love for her, that when he was with her 1t took on the guise of friend ship and deceived even himself. It was only in lonely hours that 1t took on truth, became a hopeless yearning for the touch of her hand or a glance from her clear eyes.
 "There is something else," she said absently. T cannot talk 1t over with mother. There is girl in the ward"
 "A patient?'
 "Yes. She is quite pretty. She has had typhoid, but she is little better. She's-not a good person."
