Every home-Owner desires an attrac-
tive house, n that will appear well,
will have a charm ut the beginning and
will not lose 1t with years of use; a
house that will please his neighbors as
well as himself and that will add to the
beauty and attractiveness of the COM
munity IN which he lives.
To secure an attractive home much
more is needed than just a house plan,
however good that may be. The trou-
BILE with most homes is that there is a
lack Of harmony In the grounds, the
house and it's coloring and the interior.
Even a good architect may fail to I'M
derstand how to accomplish this har-
mony. The assistance of the careful
architect, the skilled gardener, the
competent builder, the reputable paint
and varnish manufacturer and the ex-
pert painter and decorator is import
ant to assure best results In building.
1t Is not money alone that makes a
beautiful Eouse taste and some knowl-
edge are essential. A small cottage
may be as attractive as q mansion and
far more home-like.
Instead of thinking of the details at
haphazard, the home builder, asserts
an authority, should plan the house

ality, but follow those lines which ex-
perience and taste will dictate.
The same incongruity Is often noted
in painting the house-colors are cho.
sen without regard to their fitness or
their adaptation to the style Of archi-
lecture. Colors that appear well on
one house may be disappointing on
another. One house may look well with
contrasts In body and trim, while the
next should be Of one color or at least

MacBeard Finds His Destiny.
He gazed Mt 1t still hypnotized; he
was trying to fight his way back into
consciousness. For a few moments
he did not know where he was, or
what was happening.
Then, gradually, he began to be
aware Of his surroundings. He saw

about him. And In the distance he saw
Clouts and Davies running toward the
motorboat.
Ida stood watching Donald. She
was still h~esitating. MacBeard had
found that ne could start his engine.
His hand was on hers. Davies and
Clouts were fifty PAGES away.
"Comei" said HacBeard.
The girl shuddered. and suddenly
she leaped into the boat. MacBeard
threw himself against the gunwale and
pushed 1t into deep water. He sprang
aboard. He was twenty PAGES from
the shore when his pursuers arrived
ct the water line. Davies whipped out
his revolver.
MacBeard crouched behind Ida and
raised her body before him for a
shield The girl knew nothing Of this
maneuver. for she had tainted

MacBeard, trembling, covered be-

out behind her, he guided the little
craft. The distance was increasing
swiftly.
Davies let his revolver hand fall. He
knew that at that distance II was I'M
possible to hit NacIieard with any GER

Of shooting Ida.
Impetuously he plunged into the wa

He had seen the FU5 settle beneath

sible chance could Donald catch him.
He turned to Ida, who was just
opening her eyes. He took her hand.

saw her shudder. and a diabolical fury
