voices of the wilderness. Lennox had
not been mistaken In thinking him a
natural woodsman. He had imagina-
ton and insight and sympathy but
most of all he had a heritage of wood
lore from his frontiersmen ancestors.
Two months before he had been a
resident Of cities. Now the wilder
ness had claimed him, body and soul.
These had been rare days. At first
he had to limit his expeditions to a
few miles each day. and even then ne
would come In at night staggering
from WEAKNESS. He climbed hills
that seemed to tear his diseased lungs
TO shreds. Lennox wouldn't have been
afraid, In a crisis, TO trust his marks
manship now. He had the natural
cold nerve Of a marksman, and one
twilight he brought the body of a lynx
pine at q distance OF two hundred
yards. He got so he could shatter q
grouse out Of the air In the half Of a
second or so in which Its bronze wings
glinted In the shrubbery; and when
a man may do this q fair number Of
times out Of ten he is on the straight
road toward greatness.
Then there came a day when Dan
caught his first steelhead In the North
Fork. There Is 70 more beautiful
thing In the wilderness world than q
steelhead trout in action. He simply
seems to dance on the surface Of the
water. leaping again and .cgain. and
racing at an unhea t.of speed down
the ripples. He ,tdghs oniy from
three to fifteen potyis. But now and
again amateur fish men without souls
have tried to pull him In with main
strength. and are stu somewhat
dazed by the result. Il might be done

CHAPTER !.

September was at It's last days on
the Umpqua divide-that far wilder
ness Of endless. tree-clad ridges where
Dan Failing had gone for his last
days. Everywhere the forest people
were preparing for the winter That
would fall so quickly when these gold
en- September days were done. The
smaller peoples that live In the dust
and have beautiful. tropical forests I'm
the ferns-found themselves digging
holes and filling them with stores of
food. OF course they had no idea on
earth why they were doing IT, except
that a culver at the end of their tails
told them to do so; but the result was
entirely the same. They would have
a shelter for the winter.
But the most noticeable change of
all, In these days of summer, was a
distinct tone Of sadness that sound
ed throughout the forest. OF course
the wilderness note is always some
what sad but now, as the leaves fell
and the grasses died, 1t seemed par
ticularly pronounced. All the forest
voices added TO 1.-THE wall of the
geese, the sad fluttering of fallen
leaves, and eve the whisper Of the
north wind. OF course all the tones
and voices Of the wilderness sound
clearest at night-for hat is the time
that the forest really comes to life
and Dan Failing, sitting in front of
Lennox's house, watching the late
September rise over Bald noun
tain, could hear them very plainly.
1t was true that In the two months
he had spent in the mountains he had
learned to be very receptive to the

COLONIAL HOUSE
NOW IS POPULAR
Chief Charm Is the Simplicity of
the Exterior.
WHOLE INTERIOR IS DISABLE
Only Within Recent Years That the
Beauty Of This Type of Home Has
Come to Be Recognized by
American Architects.
BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRp.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of this
paper. on account of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he
is, without doubt, the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1897 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, Ill, and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
1t was not until the last few years,
comparatively, that American archi-
tects recognized the beauty of the
homes that were erected in New Eng
land during the first century after the
landing of the Pilgrims. Many Of
these homes are still In a splendid
state of preservation and still are oc-
cupied. But until recently their own
ers could not see any beauty In their
plain lines and weather-beaten exte-
riors.
\ Now, however, this type of archi-
lecture, which was originated by the
builders of the Seventeenth century, is
most popular. Colonial homes Of all
sizes and constructed Of all the differ
ent sorts of building materials are
erected throughout the country. The
chief charm of the exterior of a CO.
lonial house is its simplicity and bal
nee Each window has a counterpart
on the opposite side of the main en-
trance door, which is placed exactly
in the center of the house; there is

plant and fuel storage.
The cost of this house is not great.
its design being such that ii can be
erected with the utmost economy in
materials and labor. AT the same
time it provides accommodations for
q family of more than the average
size. The arrangement is such that
the work of caring for 1t can be done
with q minimum of effort, while all
the rooms are airy and comfortable.
Home builders who are planning up
on erecting that long-contemplated
house this year cannot do better than
select such a design as this. The CO.
lonial is a style of architecture that
marks it's owner as an American who
is proud of the building genius of the
early settlers; at the same time, the
colonial, to many minds, Is the most
beautiful of all styles of homes.
During the last few months the
cost of building, like almost every
thing else, has come down remarkably.
While prices still are higher than in
1914, when it cost less to build than
at any time during the last half CEN
fury, they are much lower han during
any of the war years, or the last two
years. Homes are needed and needed
badly, and everyone connected with
the building business predicts that
this will be a banner year.
This being true, it is good Judgment
to start building operations as early
as possible. This will insure that the
new home is ready for occupancy early
in the summer.

little attempt at decorative effect, the
exception being the porch pillars and
the fan-shaped lights over the door.
But there is a charm about these
houses that appeals to every home
builder.
Then, too, the shape of. the house
is such that every foot of the inte-
rior is disable. This will be noted
from the floor plan that accompanies
the exterior view of a small colonial
house shown herewith. The same bal
ance that marks the exterior of the
house is maintained in the interior;
the rooms are divided almost equally
by a central entrance hall, out of
which runs the stairs to the second
floor. Here, also, the balance Is con-
tinued, there being a bedroom on each
corner, with the same number of win
dows and each one as readily aces
sible to the hall as another.
This home is of frame construction.

II can imagine the rest" said James
worthy. "You don't need to hand out
the ~sickening details. A gang of old
beldames will come to our place, for
instance, and pull about five cents
worth of dandelions and then sit and
have a photographer make a large pic
ture of them after which they'll eat
two. dollars and eighty cents worth of
ice cream, and a lot of sponge cake
and anything you happen to have in
the refrigerator. One of the beldames
will be appointed a committee to write
up the affair for the newspapers, and
Mrs. Sidewinder will see that she gets
most of the glory as the originator of
the scheme, and neXt spring her hus-
band will be running for alderman ON
the strength of it.
Nowadays the women never get
down to brass tacks and do real work.
They must make a society function out
Of every little chore they do. They
won't carry a dead cat out of the front
yard unless there's a photographer on
hand to make a group picture of it.
If work can be reorganized so it looks
like a game they will be industrious
enough, otherwise they strike and send
communications to the newspapers ex-
planning that no woman should permit
herself to be a drudge.

more dandelions in half a day than 1S
women WIN in three weeks. The man
takes off his coat and gets down on hts
marrowbones and pulls dandelions. The

themselves with japanese fans, and
try to look like so many Mary Ander-
sons, and wish there was somebody
around to set them to music.
women are becoming more and
more an expensive luxury since they
organized themselves into clubs. / have
nothing to say against the club idea in
itself, Mrs. J~amesworthy. l want to
see the females have as good a time
as they can, within reasonable limits.
The men belong to clubs and lodges,
too, but they have halls in which to
hold their meetings.
"The women wouldn't enjoy holding
a meeting in a hail. They have to as
semble in the home of n of their suf-
fering sisters, so they can size up the
furniture and fittings, and be able to
say, when they go away, that they
never saw such execrable taste. And
the suffering sister sees that her home
is a frost, and she makes up her mind
to give her heart-sick husband no rest
until he has chartered a string of
painters and paper-hangers, decorators
and glaciers.
But this isn't the worst of it. The
suffering sister who en%tertains the club
is expected to set up refreshments, and
she feels it her duty, as a good sport,
to furnish the best the market affords.
The last time the ladies of the Busy
Bunch club met at this house o
bought all the strawberries in town,
and at that period strawberries were
shipped in from points 5000 miles
away, and when the bill came in, at
the end of the month, / had a stroke Of
paralysis and an attack of paresis. If
you get up a dandelion party you will
want to buy out the leading confec-
toner, SO I'll advertise for a man to
come and do the job"

One Good Point.

A very kind-hearted man could new
er be brought to say an unkind werd
about anybody. One day a friend ex-
postulated with him.
"Look here" he said, sits all very
well being charitable and all that, but
you car carry that sort of thing too
far. Now, there's Blank. Can you
honestly find a single good point about
Blank?"
The kind-hearted man appeared to
be nonplused, for Blank was a very
bad man, and 1t seemed impossible to
find anything good to say about him.
"Well," he said, at length, "you must
admit he wears a fine fur-lined coati"
