She was thankful when at last tho policeman took his departure.
 Her uncle turned to her.
 Cheer up, my dear. We've got to make tho best of it. It's comfort to know that the pearls were insured to their full amount-s5,0o0. So, If the stolen goods are not recovered I'll get another necklace fir you. But you must promise me not to run out alone after il o'clock at night with valuable iewelry for all the world to see--" His kind old voice held a quzzieal infection.
 "Wha-what did you say-about in- suance?" asked poor Natalie. Things were certainly becoming complicated. oh. if she only dared to tell her uncle the whole truth about the pawning of the pearls!
 But she did not dare. Not only would he be immensely hurt over the idea that she could part so readily with his gift--a birthday gift of but few hours-but he would have to hear about her card debts. He would be downright angry then.
 The confession would Involve Mrs. Desmond, too. Her uncle would prob ably break that frien>Nhip.

 At that psychological moment a burly policeman hove in sight Dan by caught the girls arm and led her to him. The story was recouuted, and the policeman blew his whistle, summoning two of his confreres to the spot.
 The neighborhood was searched. To no avail.
 Natalie popped her discriminating letter into the letter box. She was mighty glad to speed 1t on it's way. Besides. these minions of the law might have insisted on knowing its contents. Anyhow, her uncle would. Unfortunately, Capt. Morris Danby had seen the address on the envelope. | But he did not try to question her. l One of the policemen accompanied them back to her uncles house, to interview Mir. Ducane. and get the story straight. He had an imposing little notebook, which Natalie feared i on sight.
 Naturally. Mir Ducane was consid- erably worried over the turn of af- fairs. He thought his little niece had
 been extremely careless in going alone out into the night with such U valuable piece of jewelry in evidence. 1 But he refrained from saying so 1 The policeman was inclined to think | the affair put-up job. Who among 1 her friends and acquaintances had seen tn enecklace? Had she worn it out of doors during the day?
 :. Only In the morning." said poor | Natalie, feeling like conspirator. | The real necklace was safe in pawn, but she could not bring herself to tell | them so. And then I wore a wrap
 about my neck, so no one actualy could see it."
 She broke off, for she remembered
 that puff of wind had blown that scarf back and momentarily revealed | the valuable necklace to the curious | eyes of Farrel Galt.
 But that, too, was a fact that must
 be suppressed. Whatever Farrel was Tor wasn't-she could not have him dragged into this wretched mix-up.

For Good of |, the Community
Birmingham Home Building Activities Show This City as Leader Among Sixteen
 Southern Municipalities

' F folk build homes in a town, it is a good one in which to live Moreover, it is proof of the fact that it's citizens feel that way They would not feel that way unless they were doing we'll and their wives and children were happy in their habitat
 Mighty few things are of paramount i'm portance The state depends on the home and the home is founded where men get the most out of life. Cities are not built by birds of pas sage, but by those who have in them the ele- ments of permanency that count for perma- Inency of communities
 Again Birmingham takes her place in the van of growing cities in the 6 southern cities as a builder of homes. But one other city of any thing like her size had bettered her record for home building during the first six months of the year. That was Houston. Birmingham con- graduates another southwestern city on hav- ing reached her side, Galveston having done so in July.
 Building permits issued in the cities named in July and their valuations were as follows:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-08-22

Birmingham is glad to see other southern cities building homes, schools and churches. Birmingham is glad that Atlanta. makes a showing of more money spent on buildings in June, but Birmingham is proud of the greater number of permits issued here, that go to show the love of home existing in this district
 In the first seven months of this year permits were issued in Birmingham for the building of 1850 homes, compared with permits for total |of 475 in the entire year 1920. This record is for the city proper. It tdoes not include the $500, 900 represented in construction in the Fairfield neighborhood nor that out Inglenook and Tarrant City way.
 Much of the structural activity in Birming- ham is due to the proximity of brick yards, ce- ment mills and hollow tile works, as we'll as some of the largest lumber yards in the south The material is on the ground in this city. The structural steel is to be had from local shops A world of freight rates on the building materials is saved the Birmingham home builder and he has world of beautiful materials from which to choose.
 Birmingham has almost everything that is worth while.
