American War Gifts.

Gifts of Americans to 60 principal
war-relief societies are estimated at

making a grand total of more than
$16,000,000 to the allies. The central
powers received S3,75O,O00, while de-
pendent nationalities affected by the
war received 100000, of which $4,-

Erlek's Aim.

II. G. Frick's large fortune is not
to be disposed of after the Vanderbilt
and Astor plan. II do not believe in
leaving children a great many millions
of dollars" says Mr.. Frick. "Of course,
l shall provide very amply for my son
and also for my daughter, but she will
receive no nOtOriety as one of Ameri-
cas- richest heiresses.' The American
people are fond, and properly so, Of
going to Europe, chiefly to see the fa-
nous paintings and other works of
art there. ] have tried to bring some
Of them here, and will leave the whole
collection, along with my home and
the additions 1 am building to it, for
the benefit of the people" Mr.. Frick's
chief reason for explaining this was to
apologize for living amid what he
called "such apparent luxury" He is
one Of the most unostentatious Of men.

"1,m!" Reflected Bruce.

Whittier bound now? True, there was
a great walled-in mansion on the OBJ
scure Wadleigh road, but Bruce had
understood that 1t had not been oc-
cupied for years, save casually.
"The bewitching sprite!" mused
Bruce. "Come, gone. I would be de-
lighted to see her again"
Two days passed, and in his ram
blings Bruce fairly forgot his mysteri-
GUS visitant. Then the third day she
was wildly brought back to his re-
membrance. He was pursuing an old
abandoned pathway In the woods, when
Gyp, penetrating a cOpse, returned ex-
cited and demonstrative, holding some
thing in his jaws.
Here, old boy, what is it?" chal-
ienged Bruce, and the intelligent ami
NAL ran to his side, lifting his head to
proffer the handkerchief.
"The samev calculated Bruce; "the
perfume" and pressing the object Gyp
had found, delicate lace handkerchief,
TO his face and inhallng It's faint per-
fume, he proceeded to invade the copse
where the animal had palpably discov-
cred It.
The shrubbery incased a leafy grot-
to. The ground FOre evidences Of some
one having rested there-the beauteous
maiden in some fond day dream, sur-
missed Bruce, building up an airy dream
of romance. A veritable nymph of the
woods, who could she be? He called
Gyp to him. He waved the handker-
chief across the nostrils of the animal.
Gyp almost nodded as he understood,
circled about shifting back at his mas
ter and started straight as a ferret on
a direct trail. .....
Hello" soliloquized Bruce as, at
the end Of twO-mile jaunt, Gyp came
60 halt. 1t was beside the high stone
wall surrounding the old mansion only
casually noted by Bruce before this.
A heavy wooden door fitted a spaceSin
the solid masonry. Gyp shifted under
the crack at it's base. Then he looked
at his master as if to say that this was
the quarry sought for.
'H'm I" reflected Bruce. "Gyp isn't
usually wrong. What is that?
1t was the sound as of futile hands
beating on the inside of the door. Then
there were angry, half-sobbed words.
''They have locked the door; they
have me shut into a prisonl The VI
pers !"
There was tree six feet away from
the fence. Bruce acted on speedy
Impulse. He pulled himself up into It.
Now he could look over the wall. He
uttered low but distinct:

The design illustrated Is n combined
COW, horse, calf and storage barn. II
Is laid out In the form OF n cross this
design having several distinct advan.
tages.
In the first place, Il Is convenience
10 the farmer 20 have much OF his
work consolidated within the walls OF
a single building, However, the dairy
regulations OF several states do not
permit mllch cows to be stabbed In
the same rooms with horses or young
stock where the litter Is not removed
every day. Avoiding this difficulty we
come TO this cross.shaped floor plan
for II gives us truly a three-in-One
stable arrangement. The horses and
young stock are entirely shut away
from the dairy stable.
But aside from all other consdera-
lions, the strongest recommendation
that this design has ls It's good looks.
Viewed from any angle, II is a dis
tInctive-looking building. Farmers are
coming 10 appreciate this matter OF
good looks. They know that n barn
can be designed to look right and yet
not take n single board foot more OF
lumber or an extra sack Of cement to
build II.
In construction this building follows
the popular plank frame style; which
makes use OF nothing heavier than two
inch stuff-stock size material regular
ly carried by and easily Obtalnable at
any lumber yard. Where strength Is
needed, as in the trusses, several
planks are spiked together, and con-
nections are securely bolted with one
half-inch carriage bolts.
The gambrel roof proportions chosen
give n graceful outline to the barn,
at the same time providing a huge
NOW for the hay and other storage.
The capacity of the big NOW Is ITO
tons. Besides this, 40 tons Of hay can
be stored In each wing over the horses
and loose stock. There is q covered

the highway, especially when they must
be placed on the leeward side Of the
road during the dusty months Of the
year. This distance varies from 200
feet to a quarter of a mile, depending
upon the topography and the amount
the highway is used.
There are just as many troublesome
elements entering when arranging the
outbuildings with respect to each as
there are to locating them with respect
to the house. 1t is not desirable to
drive the stock from the barns to the
highway past the house, neither is it
conducive to cleanliness to haul hay
and straw over such a route. This
necessitates a front and back drive,
one past the house, the other directly
to the barn.
Animals enjoy fresh air and sun
shine, yet they must be protected
from the storms. All barns and sheds
should be on the north and west Of the
yards and all yards should be open
to the south.
Many farmers are inclined to locate
and arrange their buildings with re-
spect to the well. This should not be
done when sanitation, warmth and con-
venience must be sacrificed. Water
will flow through pipes, and it is easy
to force it through. 1t is not easy to
take care of a barnyard located down
in hollow or on the north side of a
hill or way out in a field where it is
lnconvenient to get to it.
Convenience is not the only thing to
be considered in the planning and ar
ranging Of buildings. They must be
planned for beauty and designed and
constructed so that the owner will de-
sire-because Of the pride he takes
In them-tO keep them and their sur
roundings neat and clean.

Hint for Exporters to Tropics.

In shipping to the tropics the wise
practice of using tin containers for
dried fruits, candies, crackers, ETC.,
has been generally adopted by Ameri-
can manufacturers and exporters, but
many firms so solder the cover that its
removal means the practical destruc-
ton of the container. Because of their
usefulness as receptacles in which to
store articles to protect them from
ants and other vermin these contain
ers are much in demand if so sealed
that they may be opened without de-
stroying them. This is done by COM
petitors from other countries and by
some American exporting firms. By
lightly soldering around the edge Of
the lid a narrow piece of tin that can
be stripped off the same security is
obtained and the prospective value Of
the container is preserved.

There are several important condl-
tions which every farmer should OBJ
serve In planning the arrangement OF
his buildings. BY a careful consld-
Grafton of these conditions It is often
possible to save a surprising amount
Of time and effort in the daily routine
Of farm work. The location of the
barns with respect to the house is one
Of the first things to consider.
The farmers family always desires
to have the house close TO the high
way. The passing vehicles break up
the monOtOny surrounding their la
bors. But with the advent Of the au-
tomObile and its trail Of dust, farm
homes must now be moved back from

like creature with earnest, peering

closed his eyes, but the sharp barking
of his dog tied to a tree outside warned
him, as 1t always did, of a visitor or
an intruder.
Someone, of course, not the girl ;
that was Of the unreal. He arose and
went TO the door. There was faithful
Gyp, not tugging at his chain as he
usually did when predatory or penni-
less tramps passed by, but his eyes
fixed towards the timber.
"It was real-it was no dream I"
abruptly uttered Bruce.
He stood spellbound. Running like a
frightened schoolgirl, her twinklng
feet seeming scarcely 10 touch the
ground, was the girl Of his vision. She
did not look behind her and vanished
completely amid a screen of deep
shrubbery.

his senses were all awake now. His
solitude, passing a vacation of a month

Bruce slowly passed into the cabin.
As he did so he became sensible Of a
subtle, delicate perfume that filled
the air. II was exclusive, 1t suggested
the boudoir Of wealth and luxury. It
permeated the atmosphere deliciously.
OF course, II was a reminder of the
strange visitor. Bruce went outside
again, sat down on the old bench be-
side the doorstep and was thoughtful
-observant, too, as he noticed Gyp
shifting and evidently noting the tinge

Bruce saw two men coming down an

from the vicinity Of the grounds, pom
derlng, wondering infused with the
mystery of strange situation, but II
was TO return as directed Mt dusk. He
got close to the gate. He ventured to

from beyond It.

"Yes, as my guardian. The note will

cabin and inspected the contents Of the
envelope he was electrified. It con-
tained n document signed by ada

the keen-witted Bruce. The next day
he entered the front gate Of the man

seen the day before approached and
halted him. II
'WhO are you and what do you
