A. city hunter, roaming over farm

a few days since. came upon the own
er of the place, who was not altogeth-

Get any rabbits?" the farmer
asked.

I can't tell from the tracks which way
the rabbits are going"
Seeing chance for. more fun at

took him to some tracks in the snow
and told him the wrong way to trail
rabbits.

Almost Immediately following the
signing of the armistice the govern
ment urged the country to proceed
with its building program, which had
been arrested by the war. and an
nounced its intention of doing like
wise. The war has been over nearly
seven months and congress has been
in session a large part of the time.
yet there is no sign of any activity on
the part of Uncle Sam along the con-
struction line. Scores OF projected
public buildings are awaiting in
creased appropriations. The govern
ment policy appears to be to 'let
George do it,"

THE REAL ESTATE MARKET.

The one thing which has not yet
been affected greatly by the general
advance in prices is real estate. This
condition is unlikely to prevail much
longer. During the war all building
operations of an important nature
were suspended. Since the armistice
was signed many important plans have
been held up in the expectation that
prices for building materials, as well
as wages. would be lower. 1t is grow
ing more and more doubtful that this
hope will be realized.
With the banked-up demand in
prospect, and the shortage in buildings
becoming daily more strikingly en-
phasized, we are likely to see a con-
struction movement which. will en-
brace all classes of buildings, and pro-
vide activity reaching boom proper
tions. This will mean a demand for
structural steel, cement, stone, brick.
lumber, piping heating apparatus.
electrical equipment and the thousand
and one varieties of material that en-
ter into modern building. 1t will pro-
vide employment for a vast army of
ShlllGu ana uDSkllleu ldDOTerS.
1t would not be surprising IL all
these developments should precipitate
an active demand for real estate both
in the large cities and in the suburbs.
Most assuredly the houses which own
ers have been trying to sell for years
will find a much reader market and
at higher prices. The cost of construc-
ton at present can hardly fail to rep
resent an important advance over a
few years ago, and owners OF desirable
but previously unmarketable property
are likely to be able to dispose of their
holdings at figures in keeping with
current building rates. For a long
time it has been a maxim that 1T is
cheaper to rent than to build" Judg-
ing from the protests of tenants the
old phrase has lost much of its former
force.
Like all economic problems the stu
alton will work itself out along tbs
lines of supply and demand. People

FEARS.
CHAPTER LXXVIII,

After dinner Neil announced that he
had intended to go down town, really
should meet some men at the club, but
he was so tired they could get along
without him. 1 was delighted. He was
at home so little, we had so few of the
long quiet evenings together which to
me meant SO much.
We talked of his aunt's approaching
visit, of our boy, his cunning ways.
and what we hoped to do for him. 1t
was a never failing source of pleasure
for Neil to plan the education of his
small son. Then after a while I in
troduced the subject I knew would be
distasteful to him.
Neil we MUST talk things out 1

longer: haven't had decent nights
sleep for a week. Won't you explain
things to me.-your business, so can
refute the stories about you?"
See here Bah, you wouldn't under
stand if 1 tried to explain. And really
there is nothing to tell you. Every
thing is going along all right"
II know it is as far as money goes,

They find that they must pay dearly
for them. Building contractors get
busy to reap the harvest. In the proc
ess those who supply the materials are
going to ask for their profit. and the

for years will try to make up for lost
time. One of the biggest single items

L could realize what had happened

now behold me.
THE students stood up on their

my bosom, made d very polite bow.
My action, being unexpected, must
have startled them, for one of the
little girls perched upon the window
sill gave scream and fell back
ward out the window, drawing her
companion with her as she disap-
peared.
THE Professor uttered a cry OF
horror and rushed away thru the door
to see if the poor children were in

lowed after him in a wild mob, and
