Bungalows have had an increasing
popularity among home builders dur
ing the last few years. Now, when
there will be a large number of new
homes planned and started throughout
the country, they will be exceedingly
popular, for the one good reason that
the owner gets more for his money in
this style of architecture than in the
older type OF two-story houses.
OF course there are bungalows and
bungalows. Whether they be homes of
as few as three rooms or those con-

they are bungalows just the same. The

Home building has been at a stand
still during the last couple Of years,
and the time has come when finding u
place in which to live in almost every
community is considerable of a task,
and an expensive proposition, too.
Rents have advanced. and because of
the law of supply and demand are
rapidly being further increased. The
resumption Of building at once, there
fore, is important, as the demand now

terest to those who are considering
what type Of home they will build.
Living Room 10 Large.
The front entrance door opens into
the living room, the room that makes
a bungalow such q favorite. This
room is 10 by 13 feet, an exceptionally
good size, MOI being too large to de-
tract from the idea Of coziness and not
so small that there is a feeling Of be-
ing shut In. At one end Is an open
fireplace, another important bungalow
feature, and on either side of il are
low bookcases, with windows above.
Opening off the living room through
a wide space betweene colonnades. Is
the dining room, also Of good size and
equally attractive In its arrangement.
The room is IA by IL feet, with AN
alcoye 4 by 5h feet, the end wall Of
which is formed by windows. How at
tractive this nook may be made can be
imagined by the woman with artistic
tastes. Between the alcOve and the
wall at the rear of the dining room is
a seat with windows above.
The kitchen, the workroom of the
home, is designed with a view to efi-
cheney. 1t is l. by 10 feet, but a large
pantry, 6 by 6 feet adds to its con-
venience. In the latter is a work ta-
Bile, five shelves, and space for the ice
box, the latter having an opening to
the back porch so that IL may be
iced without coming indoors. The
basement stairs open off one corner Of
the kitchen.
A T-shaped hall connects the dining
room and the two bedrooms. The front
bedroom is 10h by Ii feet and has two
windows opening to the terrace and
n at the side, allowing for excellent
ventilation. The e "a bedroom has
similar windows, but is slightly larger
than the front room, being 14h by 10
feet. Between is an unusually large
bathroom for this size house.
Much Closet Space.
Closet space always is a feature that
appeals to the housekeeper. In this
bungalow, 1t will be noticed, are three
large closets, one off the living
and n off each Of the bedrooms. The
bathroom, too, has considerable space
that can be so used.

cHArTsR XVII.



Toward the east the forest tract was
completely burned to the banks OF Cod
ler's creek. As the wind which had
sprung up had driven the IRE west
ward. there vas little danger Of the
flames pressing nearer than the creek
to Sunrise Cove and The Corners.
Joseph Stagg led the horse out Of
the water and advised Miss Amanda
and Carolyn May to get into the seat
OF the blackboard again. Then ne set
forth, leading the horse along the mar
row beach, while Prince followed
YEARLY In the rear.
1t was a rough route they followed,
but the ~blackened forest was stln too
hot for them to pass through, had they
been able to find a path. This was a
lonely strip of shore and they saw no
living soul but themselves.
1t was a long tramp, and the horse,
the dog, and the man were alike
wearied. Carolyn May went fast asleep
with her head piliowed In Miss Aman-
da's lap.
The latter and Joseph Stage talked
much. Indeed, there was much for
them to say after all these years of
silence. CN
The woman, worn and scorched OF
face, looked down on the smutted and
sweating man with an expression In
her eyes that warmed him to the mar
row. She was proud of him. And the
gaze of love and longing that the hard
ware merchant turned upon Amanda
Parlow would have amazed those peo-
pie that believed he had consideration
and thought only for business.
In these few hours of alarm and
close intimacy the man and the woman
had leaped all the barriers time and
pride had set up. Nothing further
could keep Joseph Stage and Amanda
Parlow apart. And yet they never for
one instant discussed the original
cause Of their estrangement. That was
q dead issue.
The refugees reached The Corners
about nine o'clock. Jedidiah Parlow
had hobbled up to the store and was
just then organizing a party of search
ers to go to the rescue Of the hard
ware dealer. and those Of whom he had
set forth In search.
The village turned out en- masse to

horse was In. Poor Cherry would

Rose.
II was q fact that Mr.. Stage was In
a bad state. Carolyn May had suggest
ed that Aunty Rose would dress his
burns. bpt Miss Amanda would allow
nobody to do that but herself.
When the curious and sympathetic
neighbors had gone and Miss Amanda
was still busy making Joseph Stagg

Rose came out into the kitchen. where

again.
The horse vas well spent now but
he was plucky. He tried to increase

rushing through the forest, bending
the branches and shaking the leafy
foliage. The wind seemed fairly to
scorch the fugftives.

PECOS OIL FIELD

Fl Paso, Texas, May 2, 1919 pr. Hugh Tucker, expert geol- ogist known throughout the oil districts of the country, has again had his, judgement vim dicated, according to late re- ports from the Laura Well, sit uated on the property of the Sunshine Oil Corporation, near Pecos, Texas. A telegram from Alfred Finally, president of the company, from Pecos to stockholders in Ell Paso said:
 "The Laura we'll is going down through twenty feet of blue shale and limestone. Have sent you by express some sam pies of it. Prof. Elliott of San Antonio, who is examining oth- CT properties in Pecos district for eastern capitalists, has wis ited the Laura we'll, and de- clares it sure big winner. Three more companies have been or ganized here. and are getting ready to drill"
 The blue shale and limestone referred to in MT. Tinally's tel 5egram are the identical forma- tions forecast by Dr. Hugh Tucker two years ago, when he located the well. So far the eminent geologist's predictions have been almost uncannily verified.
 A technical description of the petroleum formations of the Pecos field has been given by Dr. Tucker. who estimates the great anticline, on which the Laura well, and the Fl Paso Sunshine rig are located, to be about twelve miles across. The two companies are about on it's apex. The length of the anti clin eis much greater than it's width, Dr. Tucker believes. The anticline itself is huge arch of lmpermeable rock, beneath :, which the oil was formed ages ago. The absence of breaks in the anticline presupposes that the petroleum is still confined under the impermeable roof, and has not escaped to the sur face by evaporation or capil- lary action. The Pecos anti cline is said to be one of the fin est examples of that formation in Texas, and one of the larg- est.
 The Ell Paso Sunshine Oil company, which has it's rig erected on the apex of this great structure, expects to be- gin drilling very shortly. The site of their we'll is nine mles west of town, and threeandone half mles north of the Laura we'll.
