Gramont obeyed, and dropped into a
chair.
He was absurdly conscious OF his
own confusion. How had Lucie come
into the affair? This staggered him
above all else. Was she behind the
theft of the loot7 1t must be. How

that she was fairly intimate with Fell,
but he was not aware OF any particu-

He glanced up at her suddenly, and
surprised a CLINT of laughter In her
eyes as she watched him.
"You seem to be rather astonished,"
she observed.

TELLS HOW TO INSTALL
\ HOME WATER SYSTEM.

A Granger farmer installing a home
water system asked Prof. L. j. Smith
of the agricultural engineering divi-
sion Of the State College of Wash
ington if extra bracing would be re-
CURED when putting a 200-gallon
tank in the attic, and whether there
would be pressure enough for the
sink and bath, when the ceiling is but
8 feet up. Prof Smith replied as
follows:
would advice you to put your 200
gallon tank directly over some good
sized partition between the rooms be
low. This will brace it and carry tie
load You probably would build a
round tank for storing the water.
In any case it should have a shallow
pan underneatA to catch any dripping
if the outside of the tank sWeats or
any leakage develops. A pipe should
run from this dripping pan to the
caves trough or on the outside of the
house where it would be noticed in
case dripping developed. This will
protect your ceiling from any possible
damage.
It would also be a good idea to put
two 4-by-4s across your ceiling joists
to carry the tank In this way you
can stretch your pressure over good
many of the ioists, which would keen
the tank more even.
| do not think you would have any
difficulty from lack of pressure at the
sink or bath faucets. | would sug-
gest, however, that you use one size
larger tap or faucet and pipe for
your connection. This will make the
water run more readily, and you will
have no difficulty from the fact of
the tank being only ten or eleven feet
above the bungalow floor.
