her before the wedding.

Q-I am planning to build a
basementless house, which | want
to have completely air conditioned,
but the only place have to install the
equipment is 2-foot-wide and 3-foot-
deep closet. Is it possible to get all
the equipment for summer cooling, as
well as winter heating, in this limited
space?
A-Yes, if you install "remote"
system. A space~saving cooling unit
fits in the bonnet on top of the fur
mace. The compressor and the conden-
ser are in a separate unit that goes
outside the house or in the garage.
Cooled air is blown through the same
ducts used for heating. The entire sys-
TEN, originated by the Coleman Com
pany of Wichita, Kan, takes no more
interior space than does the heating
equipment alone.
Q-May | use a striped and fig
ured pattern in the same room?
A-Yes, but not in equal amounts.
Let one predominate, the other act as
a complement. You may also add plain
accent colors to the two, as long as
they repeat tones from the striped and
figured patterns.
Owe heard the term Flashing"
used in connection with roofing. What
is it?
A-Flashing is a strip of metal or
roll roofing applied along roof valleys
and caves, around projections through
the roof, and wherever the roof meets
a vertical wall. Before the asphalt
shingles are laid, flashing must be
properly applied according to exact
specifications to assure a fully wea-
ther-tight roof

The HOrsetheft Yarn

But for an Indian horsetheft at
Washington, Mason County, Kentuc-
ky, back in summer, 1886, the story
of the whole southwestern quarter
of Ohio would have been different
one-or perhaps there would have
been none at all to tell
Washington still exists about five
miles back of Maysville and is little
larger than in pioneer days. The
settlement of Kentucky, then Ken
lucky County in Virginia, antedates
that of Ohio about 10 years and
soon the Indians were cleared out of
it and chased over TO the Ohio side
of the Ohio River.
Principal horse market on the
frontier, Washington often had as
many as $50 horses for sale or swap
there at one time. 1t was by way of
that little settlement that most of
the pioneers horses were obtained.
Benjamin Sites had been a colon
ell in the Revolutionary War but af-
ter the war ended had become a
river trader along the rivers in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. One sum-
mer day in 1886 he came to Mays
vile, then called Limestone Point,
with boatload of goods, mostly
whisky, but finding neither business
nor money there nlbved the mer-
chandise by pack-horse to Washing
ton where a bette9 business might
be expected.
Sites arrived at Washington the
morning after a might raid by a
small band of Ohio Indians in which
some horses had been stolen. The
raid was stealthy one and the saw
ages got away without bein g
discovered. Because of his military
experience Sites was chosen to lead
the posse in pursuit of the e
horsethieves.
The party tracked the Indians
down the Kentucky side Of the river
to about opposite Ripley then across
the Ohio and followed their trail al
most to Old Chillicoth3, now Old
town in the edge of Xenia, before
losing their track.
There Chief Mephecunnaqua (Lit-
tie Turtle) and his Shawnee tribes
| lived and the warriors there were
many.
Loathe to penetrate deeper into tht
thick Indian country with such small
force, the white pursuers turnet
back and returned leisurely between
the Miami rivers to the Ohio. 1t wa
on that return journey that Stiles frs
saw the rich, beautiful govern
ment lands now Ohio and wanted
the ground for his own.
Knowing that it would take botl
Influence and persuasion, to induce
