The grizzly bear, says Mr.. Enos A.
Mills is superior in mental power to
the horse, the dog and even the gray
wolf and in his book, 'The Grizzly"
no offers convincing evidence of his
statement. A grizzly cub in Yellow
stone park, he says, once found ham
skin-a priced delicacy. Just. as the
little fellow was lifting it to his mouth
a big bear appeared. The cub instant
" dropped the ham skin, sat down on
IT and pretended to be greatly inter-
ested In watching something in the
edge Of the woods.
Another young grizzly in the Yellow
stone one doy found tin can that was
omen at one end and partly filled with
fish. He raised it in his forepaws and
peeped in, then deliberately turned the
can inside down and shook it. Moth
mo came out. He shook again, but
still nothing came out He then placed
the can on the ground. open end down,
and hammered the bottom of it with
stone until the fish dropped out.
In a zoo one day piece of bareback
that a grizzly bear wanted fell into the
hands of a black bear. The black bear
dipped the bareback in water and
started to take a bite. Evidently it
was too hard. He put 1t in the water
again, and while it soaked gave his
attention to something else. When the
black bear was not looking, the grizzly,

The Earth's Crust.

The most important scientific inves-
tigation of the last year in any coun-
try has probably been the attempt to
measure the earths crust. We know
very little about the shell on which we
live Scientists have been studying the
problem in Hawaii, Tuscany and in
Salvador, where the opportunities for
investigation are especially favorable.
Much data new TO science has beea
collected concerning the shell, its CON-
position and probable age. Still other
tests have been made in New South
Wales, where a great reservoir concen-
trates an immense weight of water on
a limited area, and instruments have
been devised to measure the movement
of the earth's crust under this weight.
New light has thus been thrown on
the action of volcanoes.-Boys' Life.

chalIengingly, including him in the
finale of the climax, while they stood

Waring, whose expression was defen-
sively acute; he looked at Angela,
flushed, palpitant, and excited; he
looked at Mr.. Cullen, tight-lipped and
frowning; and Hilliard caught his
breath, as swimmer who launches
himself to a high dive, and walked
composedly into the drawing-room.

"That's why I'm here" he said.
Warning laughed loudly-too loudly;
and the laugh stopped short, for Gull

Cullen vented his abandon of rage
on the empty air.
"Well, who in the devil ever said
there was?"
"Why -. didn't you?" The appeal
was to HilIiard; and it was made in a
tone of astonishment which would
have been ludicrous if there hadn't
been tragedy behind it.

fruit and vegetables and the other
things that usually are cared for in
the basement.
Considered from all standpoints-
exterior attractiveness, convenient ar
rangement of the rooms, and economy
in cost-this is an exceptionally good
house design. 1t is Of the sort that
will appeal especially to city build
ers for, 1t must be remembered, there
are restrictions in cities, or within the
fire limits of cities, as to the sort OF
materials that can be used.
But such q home as this is equally
good for smaller towns and rural
communities. Any one who gets an
idea that only the best types of
houses are erected in the larger
cities is mistaken. Some of the best
planned and most attractive homes in
the country will be found In the small;
er towns and on the farms. 81.
It is equally true that IN The smaller
communities more homes are being
erected thaTAin the cities. In the lat
ter there appears to be a contagi0n
of buildings with one or two room
units something that those used to
more room would hardly put up with.
Still, necessity is the mother of lot
Of things in the city that the people
of town would not have.
Home builders everywhere, however.
are getting as much as possible for
their money. There Is no waste
space In any of the homes that are
being built under present conditions,
and every method of cutting costs is
used. Economical construction does
not mean cheap construction, but it
does mean that every possible saving
is made, both in planning and erecting
the house. This is done by making
the plans so that the homes will ac-
commodate the space-saving and salts
faction-giying equipment that now
adays is available.
The designer of the home shown
and described has taken the cost prob
lem into consideration and has de-
signed a home that not only is good
to look at and arranged for comfort
and convenience but can be built for
the smallest amount of money posi-

STRONG FOR WRITTEN WORD
Puritans, Unlike the Cavaliers, Early
Evinced Pronounced Liking for
Literary Expression.

If there was ever race that knew
the value of the written word. it was
the Puritan of New England. For the
arts of music, drama and painting he
cared little: he connected them with
his dearest foe, Antichrist, or as Cot
ton Mather preferred to call him, the
devils eldest son." But of the I'M
pulse to express himself in the forms
permitted by his creed he was peren-
niaIly conscious. He was not ham,
pered by the conception already shap-
ing itself in the minds of his Cavalier
brethren in Virginia thai: the produc-
ton Of literature was bit unworthy
Of the attention of a gentleman. Inc
Puritan had that more democratic
view of life which has ever been the
prime essential of great creative ef-
fort, and his very social constitution
provided the stimulus of mind striking

NOT EXPENSIVE TO BUILD
This Design Makes Good Home for
the Family of Average Size

Selecting the design for the home
you expect to build should be done
with deliberation. The final decision
should be made only after a study of
as many plans as possible, giving due
consideration to the amount of money
you have to invest and, which is equal
ly important, the number of persons
the home will be required to accom-
modate.
Much of the disappointment expert
enced by many home builders has
been caused by hurried selection of
the plans After the building opera
tons have started it is both difficult
and costly to change the plans. Archi-
tects and builders have so many good
house designs that this mistake will
not be made, if the BODYBUILDING
project is considered with the care
that the expenditure demands.
AS suggestion to the prospective
home-builder, the accompanying de-
sign is good for the family of average
size Besides those rooms that are
found in every American home-liv-
ing and dining room and kitchen-this
house contains three bedrooms and

CHAPTER XII.


AS he crossed the threshold of the
long, overdecorated drawing-room, he
knew intuitively that he had blum
dered upon a climax. This he sensed
from the attitude of the three who
turned toward him as he entered
sensed it before he saw what was in
their eyes. The atmosphere
was vibrant, as though from sound
waves which had passed beyond, and
yet left traces, of the. swell behind
them. The room was silent; but of a
silence more confounding than deaf
ening turmoil.

Waring was breathing hard. and his
interest had switched to Angela, who
stood adamant. Indeed, he was sud-
denly transformed to the status of a
suppliant rather than that of prose
cutting witness.

two years ago to anybody

dollars ;. !. and nobody'd take it as a

fellow named Martin Harmon's the
president of it, and Harmon's cheap

Butte people don't consider him re-
liable. And I've written to him four
times-and he won't answer"
"Ah!' said billiard, startled.
'Well2" Cullen repeated his chal-
lenge.
THAT'S ALL" He gazed beseechingIy
at Angela, who shifted and turned her
head away.

.ly. "And with fiimsy lot Of rot like

either, but good use is made of every
bit of available space.
In exterior appearance this brick
and stucco house is exceptional. Also
it is of economical construction. The
saving in the cost Of the walls is
made by making the second half

by the use of dormer projections.
