 Eleanor looked down thoughtfully. "Well, I'm not sure" she said, in a meditative manner. "You know, you have been terribly, abominably rude to me so often.'
 Mark had great horror of losing her.

 An open shed will preserve ice, or it may be piled up in field and kept all summer by simply putting cover over it to keep off the rain and an inner cover of sawdust to keep out the air. Such a crude way of keeping ice is necessarily wasteful, but not to tn vtent popularly supposed.
 Roof Must Be Tight.
 It is quite possible to put cube of ice twelve feet through in cheaply constructed building and so pack it with sawdust as to keep 1t In very satisfactory way until wanted during the summer months. The roof must be tight because water dropping often in the same spot will bore a hole through the sawdust covering down to the ice; warm air will follow and we all know that air must be kept away from ice or it will melt rapidly.
 Drainage is another very important consideration. The bottom must be

dle of summer, sometimes even be. fore the month of June, the ice would all be gone.
 Years ago 1t was considered neces- sary to make very expensive walls to keep the ice from melting and great many experiments have been conduct ed for the purpose of finding out the best way to build ice houses. The right principle of refrigerator build- ing has confused builders of ice houses, and some of them have not yet recognized the difference.
 An ice house is intended to preserve ice while refrigerator is intended to make use of it, economically, of course, but when piece of ice is put

 The cold-storage room is 21 by II feet in size. with high ceiling to hold produce in considerable quantity.
 The other room in the main part of the building holds the fee.
 Good Construction Required.
 To be satisfactory q cold-storage building requires good construction. This plan provides n good, solid. con crete foundation with walls and foot ings solid enough to be permanent. There are concrete floors laid as n foundation for the insulation. Above the regular insulation is carefully made floor of cement.
 The walls and ceiling are made the same as the floor with the exception of the concrete floor underlayer.
 Waterproofed insulating board Is used all around the cold-storage room and the ice room, as shown In the cross sections.
 It will be noticed that the packing room and preceding room are built in the annex to the main building and have lower ceilings. The space be- tween these ceilings and roof Is util- ized for the storage of packing mate rials.
 Such buildings are useful in com munities where small fruits and veg etables are grown to be shipped some distance to large market sections. The man in charge of the cold-storage plant attends to the packing and load ing, so that the packages are uniform and true to weights. measures and grades. The farmers simply grow the stuff and haul it to the packing house in packing trays. The man in charge keeps track of each farmers account and renders a statement the first of each month.
 Ice Easily Kept.
 It is easy to keep Ice all summer if you know how. When Ice is Stored away for summer use and leaks away before it is wanted there Is a reason for 1t. In the first place there must be sufficient quantity of Ice together to keep cold, and there must be pro tection against warm air and there must be no leak In the roof.
 Some of the first farmer ice houses were built underground or partly so. It often happened that drainage was imperfect and that water accumulated in and around the bottom of the house and melted the ice so that by the mid

CHAPTER xViI-Continued.

'Be silent, sir! Gentlemen" he con- tinued, addressing Mark and the Colo nel. "you are interested in knowing what happened to this man Hampton. He could not rid himself of the belief that justice, though slow, is pretty sure. He had faith in God. Unfortu- nately he had less faith in himself. Am I wrOnging you, HamptonY he con- tinued, addressing Hartley.
 "No, sir" muttered the man on the stretcher. feebly.
 'He wishes me to tell the whole story. He went to Cuba and flung in his lot with the rebels. He became disgusted with their means and meth ods, obtained a pardon from General Weyler, and took up his residence in Santiago. The outbreak of the war surprised him there. He knew that Santiago would fall, and he had been warned that he would receive short shrift at the hands of our people.
 "He longed for death, but he had two things that kept alive the desire for life. One was his child, the other the desire for vindicatiOn, which had be- come a monomania. He tried to escape into the jungle. He saw that it was hopeless.
 He was hiding in little hut when he heard footsteps. An American sol dier, who had strayed from his com pany, was coming into the clearing. At that moment q stray bullet caught him in the head, killing him instantly. Hampton saw his chance. He took off the dead mans clothing and put it on he dressed the body in his own. He knew that by this means he could pass through the lines in the guise of a wounded man, until he had a chance to get rid of his uniform in the cabin of some Cuban. who would be only too well pleased to give him some rags in exchange for it. And, leaving his money and papers on the dead man, he knew that he left his identity behind, for the bullet had destroyed the fea- lures.
 ''There was the child-but Hampton knew that he could take her no fur tIefs NItH Ile AIueTlCduS Sle WOulu receive food-which he had not-and shelter and protection. Afterward he would regain her. He lurked in the bushes until he saw Captain Wallace appear, watched him, trusted him, and vent away.
 ''He learned of the child's adoption, and for years he haunted her home, her school, all places that were her residence, ever craving her, ever re- strained by the realization that, till his name was cleared, he had no right to her. His idea of vindication had be- come as I said, a monomania.
 Now, gentlemen, have little time to spare, but l must carry this story to the end. I said that he had less faith in himself than he had in God. Once, for three years, Hampton lost his child. She had gone to San Fran cisco. In his despair he went to Wash

air-tlght, but 1t must be porous enough to allow water to percolate through. For this reason base formed of rough stones covered with cinders and the cinders covered with n foot of saw dust makes good bottom. A very satisfactory substitute Is made by laying small round poles in the bottom of the ice house covered with straw and the straw covered with sawdust about a foot deep.
 There is a good deal In packing the ice in the house to make it keep we'll. It should be put in during cold wealth CT and all the chinks carefully filled with broken ice and the whole mass well frozen together by pouring on water. By doing this very carefully the ice can be frozen together almost solid so the air will all be forced out.
 There should be space of foot between the Ice and the sides of the house all around and this foot filled in with sawdust tamped down. The sawdust should be at least a foot deep on top of the ice; IS inches Is better.
 Must Have Attention.
 A great deal of ice is lost during the spring months when the weather is getting warm, but not warm enough to require the use of ice in the re- frigerator. During these weeks the Ice house is forgotten, and itsmelts little and settles. The settling proc ess opens cracks in the wet sawdust and some of these cracks will extend through to the ice. After the house Is filled and covered with sawdust it should have attention at least once week. If the sawdust is kept packed down we'll all around and on top the ice cannot melt very much.
 There are other details to think about, such as ventilation and shade. It is great help to have the house shaded by a large tree or another building. When ths sun beats down hot on top of the roof the temperature Inside the building Is great deal higher than 1t would be with the roof shaded.
 In choosing the location convent. ence fin using the ice should be con sidered In preference to convenience in filling the ice house, because the filling Is done in day or two where as the unloading process occupies sew erA months and requires innumerable trips between the kitchen and the ice house.

 Tt is more or less of a common- place to say that there is an awaken ed interest in England as to the de- srabiliy, indeed the necessity of an increased export trade" Mir. Brock said. The diminished production of coal in that country, however, coupled with the recent addition to add six shllings a ton to the price have sarv- ed to especially focus the attention Of Englishmcn on tho d!thculties of the export situation. In pre-War years England's ability to export coal mad of course been an important factor in the development of her fore gn trade

NOW MAKE 500 OVERLAND As
DAILY

The WHY'S Overland Company con
tinues its remarkable progress in
building Overland As, the sensational
| light car which has introduced a new
standard of easy riding comfort in its
exclusive feature of the three point
suspension springs.
Word comes from Toledo that the
production of Overland has now
reached 500 cars a day. The various
factory departments are now engaged
in spirited rivalry to accomplish
their part of the operation, so that
production may reach GOO Overland
as day before the first sleighine.
Getting production up to 500 day
on this new type of motor car has at
tracted national attention as an in
stance of loyalty and intelligent CO.
operation on the part of a great work
ing force of 10000 employees.
This record is further interesting in
view of the fact that there are now
no street cars in Toledo. The citizens
at last voted in favor Of an custer or
dinance. The railway company took
the city at its word and sent the
street cars into the state of Michigan.
Despite this condition, the WHY'S
Overland factory has had an attend
ance of 100 per cent. from it's 1880
workers since Toledo became trolley
less.
To get them back and forth from
their homes each day, the WHY'S
Overland Company has organized a
complete transportation system of
trucks, autos, jitney buses and other
cOnveyances. But at that, it means
long walks and very early breakfasts
for thousands of the Overland work
ers. But they get to work every da".
There is so much interest and en-
thusiasm among the workers in the
Toledo factory over Overland 4. that
the company has taken steps to pro-
vide a demonstration of the new
cars unexcelled easy riding qualities
to every man and woman in it's en-.
ploy The free ride for all program is
now being arranged. Nothing like
this, it is said, has ever before been
attempted by any automobile plant.
1t is explained that the Willys-Oyer.
land management in providing the
demonstration merely acceded to a.
general request from the workers of
the plant.
The sense of duty and the loyalty
reflected in the daily attendance Of!
more than 1880 workers and the
unusual pride in the produce they are
making is refreshing ana encourag-
ing sign during these days OF some
