that that portion Of the basement may
be partitiOned off, to keep the heat
and the dirt from the fuel away from
the vegetables and other storage rooms.
From this brief description and from
the exterior view and the floor plan, 1t
may be seen that this Is an exceptional
bungalow design. However, 1t always
is well to consult an architect before
building. In comparison to the advice
he can give the prospective builder,
his fee is small. 1t Is easy to make
costly mistakes In building, and with
n reputable architect these will be
avoided. The cost Of this bungalow
can be ascertained from him, or the
local contractor or material dealer,
there being no fixed price on labor and
materials that will apply to all parts
of the country.
Buying q home is not n hard mat
ter. In almost every community sank
ers, real estate men and local cham
bers of commerce have devised, or are
now devising. plans that will enable
any reputable man of family to build
his home this year. After the house
Is erected, the cost can be paid as rent,
covering period of years. In this
way every man can own his home.

Made.to- Order Gravel for Ships.

The majority Of contractors have to
take gravel as they find it, and geolo-
gists tell us it was long time in the
making. 1t seems that 1t may no longer
be necessary to wait for nature to
form gravel from clay, but that it may
be made when and where wanted and
the method is described In a recent
number of Little, Journal.
1t seems that there was no gravel to
be found near the location of south
ern shipyard where concrete ships were
to be built. Fortunately clays were
found to possess the necessary charac-
teristics to enable them to be burned te

CHAPTER Viii.
A Victory and a Defeat.

I arose silently to my feet, fully
aware that all hope Of thwarting this
villainy lay In immediate action. San
chez had turned slightly and stood
with his face toward the bay. l ven-
tured cautious step forward and
stood on the open sand, scarcely
yard to his rear. Some vague sense
Of my presence must have Influenced
the man, for he swung suddenly about,
uttering stifled cry of startled sur
prise, as we met face to face. For an
instant we were locked so closely
within each others desperate grip, his
head bent beneath my arm, with my
fingers clutching at his throat to block
any call for help, that he possessed no
knowledge Of his assailant's identity.
But the man was like a tiger. The
surprise Of attack was to my advan-
tage, yet almost before realized what
was being done he had rallied, broken
my first hold. and his eyes were glar-
Ing straight into mine. Then he knew
me, his free hand instantly grasplng
at his knife. Even as he jerked 1t
forth / crushed his wrist within my
fingers, forcing his forearm back.
There was no outcry, no noise, except
that Of our heavy breathing and tram
pling feet. Personal hatred had as
tendency in both our hearts-I doubt
IL he ever thought of aught else but
the desire to kill me there with his
own hands. Only once did he even
utter word, kissing out the sentence
as though 1t were q poison:
ITO hell with you, you sneaking

What followed has to me no clear
ness, no consistency. Never have
fought with deeper realization that
needed every ounce of strength and
every trick of wit and skill. Now I

the assemblage. This he returned to
Mary later. Mary admitted 1t. She
even admitted that she might have lost

Feodor then proved to the satisfac-

Mary's stocking, but that whatever
money he had he had found on the
floor. And since there was no evil
dence concerning the missing $50, Eco
