FIGURE 1T YOURSELF

Nobody ever added up
The value of a smile:
We know how much a dollars worth,
And how much is a mile;
We know the distance to the sun,
The size and weight of earth,
But no one here can tell us just
How much a smile is worth.

Not The least attractive feature. of
the veranda is the well-handled lattice
design, which is cleverly handled 50
that the lower portion serves the pur-
pose Of a veranda railing.
Worthy of note are the steps which
have been taken to dress up the ap-
proach to the house. The driveway
winds gracefully to the veranda en-
trance; plan not possible, perhaps,

which should commend itself where
space Is not too much Of an object to
consider. Then, too, the intelligent
handling Of the surrounding trees and
shrubbery contributes not little to
the general pleasing effect. All in all,
the house pictured is very attractive
one, and could be duplicated for your
own use. with most satisfactory results.

street, the isolated suburb or the farm.
To explain: Leaving open the connect
ing door latween the kitchen and the
dining room gives a view straight
through from kitchen to the front of
the house. One does not need to be
a gossip to appreciate the pleasing
break In the days work 1t gives the
housewife to be able to look up from
her necessary kitchen work and secure
the cheering glimpse Of the infrequent
passer-by. Then, too, there is the
washroom, an Indispensable adjunct

Is fitted with washtubs, which convent
ence makes a basement laundry un-
necessary.
The living room is splenslidly light
ed and has double doors opening onto
the veranda. Assuming that sliding
doors were fitted into that small sec
tion of dividing wall which separates
it from the stair hall, the latter with
its fireplace would make a very COM
Portable smaller room in cold weather,
with the heat from the fireplace help
ing to make the upstairs bedrooms
more comfortable.
The breakfast porch at the rear is
ideally suited for a sleeping porch also
with the stairway so conveniently by,
enabling the user to finish dressing up
stairs.
Assuming that three bedrooms would
be ample for the occupants Of this
house, the downstairs bedroom could
be utilized as a sewing room or as a
den or office for the man of the house.
In line with the latest development
in home convenience, there Is a built
in ironing board in the kitchen. An
electrical or gas outlet handy to this
would save steps.
Another nice feature Is the ice door,
through which ice is placed in the pam

housewife appreciates this, since it

BARLEY, his eyes bulging with aston
ishment. Black alone seemed to real
lie all that the doctors admission en-
tailed Currie was still too dazed to
understand, for King had been a good
friend of his.
BARLEY broke the silence with, 1--WE
have proved that the doctor Is the
guilty party. He himself has admit
ted 1t. I have suspected him for
some time but when he gave that cry
as Sykes figure appeared, l knew
that 1 was right"
The doctor was still sitting with
his head in his hands, and BARLEY
glanced down at him pityingly before
he continued to the rest Of us, 'From
the first, suspected that whoever had
killed Slyke had some knowledge of
medicine. The average layman would
not have known how to place the re-
volver In Sykes hand in such way
that 1t would appear to be suicide
The point that puzzled me was that
the eyes were almost closed. If the
guilty person knew enough to place
the revolver in Sykes hand before it
stiffened, he should have known that
the eyes ought tO be open. Miss Pot
ter explained this discrepancy by say
ing that she had closed the eyes her
self, frightened by their stare. Then
l was baffied. True there were the
circles on the magazine, but l did not
know WHO made them and there
seemed no way of finding out Then
one day, while l was in the doctors
office, he kept drawing little figures
on pad before him as he talked.
When he was called to the phone, |
took out the piece of paper on which
he had been drawing and had care
lessly thrown it into a waste-paper
basket as he passed On 1t were the
same figures that l had found on the
magazine cover. Even then was slow
to believe he could be the murderer,
though science had proved that a per-
son always draws the same design l
found the same symbols on the knife
handle. There was but one way he
could have been killed"
"My Cd, how?' Roche gasped out.
"The knife blow came from the
front. You who sat next to the clrauf-
feur heard nothing. No one could
have crept up on him without making
some sound Therefore the knife had
to be thrown"
THROWN" we gasped
Eyes. That was the only way 1t
could have reached him. The blow
came from directly in front of Brit
feur. 1t could only be thrown. Upon
the knife handle were the circles such
as | had found elsewhere. Someone
had scratched them on it in a mo-
ment of idleness. 1t was trench
knife. Doctor King had been to the
front; he was the only one directly
in front of Briffeur, and the only one
who could have thrown it. We had
all agreed that Briffeur was killed be-
cause he knew who had murdered
Slyke, and that the same man MUIR
dered them both. There Is another
proof, also. The only person, outside
of the family, that the dog liked was
Doctor King. The day we found
Slyke dead the dog came in, growled
at the rest of us but let King pat
him."
The doctor raised his head, his face
white save for two red spots in either
cheek. His eyes were pools of blaz-
