The colonial touch in the building Of
bungalows is gaining widespreadspop-
ularity. This is due in large meas

the convenience Of having all of the
rooms on one floor,
Much of the charm Of this home is
In its quiet dignity and the careful at
tention paid to the simple lines Of the

home and retiring without disturbing
the occupants Of the living room. Mo-
tice that provision is made here for

an additional bedroom might be in
stalled after the house is built.
The living room Of the home is Of an
adequate size and is properly proper
toned and gives due consideration to
wall space for the arrangement Of fur

The attractive. oblong shape Of the
dining room is one which seldom is
found in a room used for this pur-
pose. It is particularly well adapted
to the oblong type Of dining table

ers. The adjoining kitchen has been
planned for the maximum Of convent
ence and attractiveness.
The bedroom group has conven-
tional arrangement with several fea-
lures which are of more than ordinary
worth. Note that the bathroom, be-
tween the two bedrooms, Is insulated
from them by the closets. The Sleep

Banker Shattuck Asks
Mercy for Man Who
Had None for Him.

Paris.-At the end Of trail Of ven
geance that led half way around the
world and cost two lives, hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars. Albert r. Shat
tuck, American millionaire, found
pity.
The story goes back to a day in
1922, when the soft-spoken butler in
the Shattuck home on Washington
square, New York, turned with snarl
upon his employers, and blew sharply
on whistle.
The gardener. and one Of the kitchen
boys dropped their masks Of .servility
and became snarling bandits, like their
chief. Three other apaches, waiting
outside, were admitted. Revolvers and
ugly knives were whipped out.
No Hesitation to Kill.
The astonished banker, his wife and
four loyal servants were driven down
to the cellar at the pistols point.
There Mourey insulted Mrs. Shattuck
vilely. Only the certainty that the
apache would not hesitate to kill re-
strained the Whlte-ha1red mllllOnalre
from violence. Into an alright wine
vault the bandits forced their victims,
with curses and degrading remarks.
The door was slammed shut upon
them and locked.
Death was but few hours away for
all. as the air was bad and scarce
Upstairs, the bandits swiftly ram
sacked the house. took jewelry valued
at $4,000 and made away scattering
them over the world.
Some were caught, but Mourey dis
appeared.
Inside the vault, Shattuck alone
kept his head. With a dimes edge
and broken penknife, the banker at

Faulty Building Often
Cause of Lack Of Heat

The human body has the most per-
feet heating system that has ever been
devised.
This human heating system requires
a sufficient amount Of air; the right
Kind of fuel and proper attention.
The human body requires good
covering or protection, or its heating
system may not be able to give the
best results.
With those who are always cold, the
fault lies with either the wrong kind
Of food (fueD, insufficient amount OF
air, or faulty circulation of blood
Cheating system), or their bodies may
not be sufficiently well covered.
Those who have not sufficient pro-
lection or covering may not be- suffi-
GENTLY well covered.
Those who have not sufficient pro-
lection or covering can be likened to
faulty constructed building.
They have not been sufficiently in
sulated to keep out the cold. and con-
sequently the heating SYSTEM. the
heart, veins. lungs. etc., may have to
work overtime to supply sufficient heat.
So it is with faulty constructed
building. The heating plant. if 1t is
working properly, will have to be
forced constantly with every radiator
continuously hot to supply sufficient
heat comfortably to warm the building
Under such circumstances, the fault
can hardly lie with the heating plant.
An excess amount Of fuel is required

utmost difficulty. he pried the door
open and tottered. with his wife in his
arms, into the cellar, just as every one
was on the point Of collapse
From that day, Shattuck swore ven
geance upon Mourey. He did not talk
Of it much, but private detective
agencies learned quietly that there
was no limit to the reward If they
could trap the apache.
Mourey was heard of first in this
country, then in that, hunted day and
night. but always eluding pursuit.
Shattuck kept on the trail. It led to
the Indies, then to Europe. then to
Africa. Still the bandit kept ahead Of
the international police put on his
track. Justice became the bankers one
aim. Some. called it vengeance. Then
Mourey was trapped. Al woman was
the leader in the deed-his sweetheart,
with whom he kept in touch through
out the flight.
Trapped With Sweetheart.
Growing holder, the bandit came to
Paris, or rather to little villa out
side the city, where his sweetheart
used to meet him.
One day the gendarmes of Paris fol-
lowed her to the villa and a revolver
battle ensued before Mourey threw up
his hands. One was MORALLY wounded.
First an attempt was made to have
the apache king taken to New York,
hut 1t was decided the French charges
against him were the more serious.
The jury found Mourey guilty as
charged, resisting an officer with vio-
lence, which resulted in the fatal
wounding Of the police. The judge
sentenced him to die on the guillotine.
The Shattucks. their long pursuit
ended, wrote to Doumergue:
Justice cannot ignore pity. This
man has expressed regret for his
crimes. We believe he is sincere"

Little Stories For Bedtime
Dy TRoRRToM W. SURG Ess

Brier Patch that bright afternoon. For him there was no brightness in it. Everything was all dark. That was because his thoughts were so dark. Suddenly something dropped right down young corn plant. Peters curiosity chased away the dark thoughts.
 That's funny" said he aloud. "Who ever heard of corn plants raining down out of the sky?"
 He looked up to see a pair of sharp eyes twinkling down at him from the top of little tree. Cav, cav, cav !" said harsh voice, very pleasant in spite of it's harshness. "I heard you were sick, Peter, and I've brought you the tenderest young corn in Farmer Browns cornfield. I hope you are feel ing better"
 Before Peter could recover from his surprise that such a mischief-maker as Blacky the Crow should be so thought full another voice broke in.
 Are you feeling better, PeterW it asked. Everybody is so sorry to hear that you are sick. Hurry up and get well so that I can quarrel with you. You know can't do that while you are sick"
 Peter had to smile in spite of him self, for this was so like Sammy Jay, who, you know, is not bad at heart at all. He was trying to get his wits to- gether so as to say something nice in reply when from somewhere among the brambles close by there burst forth a beautiful song. When it ended Brownie the Thrush hOpped out in sight.
 "I couldn't think of thing to bring you, Peter," said he shyly, "so I came over to sing to you. Shall sing again?"
 Please do. I just love your sOng," cried Peter. And while Brownie pour ed out his beautiful song a great hap piness stole over Peter.
 Tt is worth while to be sick just to find out what true friends I have"

The Pleasure Of Being Sick
 I know it sounds absurd and queer

 So just to make the matter clear :.

 there certainly is pleasure unex- pected and unusual pleasures some times. It all depends on how sick you are. If you doubt it, just ask Peter Rabbit about it next time he isn't in too much of hurry to stop and talk with you when you happen to meet. If he hadn't been sick, very sick for little while, he never would have found out how much his neighbors think of him. It was one of the greatest and best sur prises of his whole life. He never will forget it as long as he lives. Such things one never does forget.
 It all came about through that dread ful habit which Peter has of poking his wabbly little nose into places where known perfectly well that he had no business in Farmer Browns garden. But he couldn't resist the temptation to just have a look around there and see what was growing there. Then happened just what is almost sure to happen when you yield to one tempta- tioa-it led to another. Yes, sir, it led to another. Once in Farmer Browns garden Peter simply couldn't resist the temptation to sample the green things growing there. And this is how it happened that without knowing it at the time Peter ate some cabbage leaves which had been poisoned to kill the worms which threatened to eat up the plants.
 Before Peter got back to the dear Old ,Brier Patch his wrong-doing had found him out, as wrOng-dOing always will. The poison from those cabbage leaves had made Peter so sick that it was all he could do to get to the dear Old Brier Patch and once there he felt as if he didn't much care what happened. He was a very sick rabbit, was Peter. It was then that Sammy Jay discovered what had happened, and at once spread the news all over the Green Meadows and through the Green Forest and the Old Orchard and around the Smiling Pool, and it was then that Peters friends and neighbors showed how true they were.
 Of course Peter didn't know any thing about this. After the pain in his stomach stopped he fell asleep. When he awoke he felt very much better, only for some reason which he couldn't understand he couldn't use his long, stout hind legs. There was no pain in them. All he could do was just twitch them a little. It frightened Pe- ter terribly. He was afraid he never would be able to use them again, and if he couldn't what should he do? So Peter was very miserable as he lay il his bed in the heart of the dear Old

 reflected as she hurried down the

 If only Harold Sumner would escort her home She felt as if she could not endure it if he did not.
 She sat tense and hopeful all through the brief evening service. She paid strict attention to the sermon. Surely the preacher must see how earnestly she was listening to him.
 He did see, and was flattered. He also noted that Lois Horton was paler than usual. No wonder! lie was sorry for her-even though he had not quite understood her silence to hlm ana her sister with regard to what was to happen last Friday night. A word from her might have spared him most painful experience.
 She might be able to explain away this misunderstanding. He would give her an opportunity.
 To this end he looked around eagerly as. after service, he was surrounded by A yvith him, He could not afford to hurry these people-for he must avoid all occasions of offence. But in spite Of his replies to various questions, and his exchange of greetings with those ahout him, he glanced occasionally to- wards the door where in the shadow he rould discern Lois and one of her Sun day school scholars. When he was at Inst released, and started down the aisle, Lois shook hands with the loquaclous scholar and hurried away.
