' Four rooms are provided for on the ground floor, and the spacious living room, equipped with a fireplace is especially desirable. It will be noticed that both the living room and dining room are at the front of the house, while the bedroom, bath and kitchen at the rear are entirely separated and form a complete compartment on the ground floor. By means of the archway between the living room and dining room these two rooms can be used as one.

It will be noted that all of the rooms on the ground floor have two exposures, thereby In suring adequate ventilation. The attic, if finished, has plenty cf room for two cham bers. TRUE STORY OF FLINTLOCK BEAR TOLD (t J1 ojojj pnurjaoo) commanding officer always knew that he could depend on him in any difficult place or count on him in time of danger. There was once a boy very much like Samuel Aiam. He could al ways tell how the gall game was won, though he was the poorest player on the team, and his mis takes were sometimes costly. He liked to boast about how his school won the championship, but if all had been like him there would have been no championship for his school. He liked to explain how "we did it." though his captain left him sitting on the bench most of the time during the games. The boy who really won the games more often than any other member, be cause he was the best player, sel dom said much about it. He was like Betty who killed the bear; like Patrick Kirby who carried the message through to its destination. I think Vd like to be like Betty, or Patrick. Cour age does not really mean one must run into danger when there is no need, but when duty calls, to be ever ready to answer and do one's part. Fry's Drug Store, 280 N. Com!, the pioneer store.

() GRAVEL BLUM TERRIBLE TH0RNE GIRL (Continued Tram pmf 1.) raent it was reported to her that her husband's car was parked in front of it at half-past one in the morning. She had ' been reading until quite late and wondering how much truth there was In the tale of a poker party at the club, when her two informants, burst In. One of them was "Wally" Pickering, a rather effeminate little scribbler, technically known as a "gag man"; the other was Sheila An derson a violent creature of whom it had been not inappropriately said that she was the sort of a girl who, if any man invited her to "walk home" would bo apt to make him do the walking instead. Sheila had a flaming temper and a swift tongue, and she had been one of the contestants for the role of Celeste in "The MIricle of No tre Dame." Now that Sylvia had won the coveted prize it was scarcely to be expected that Miss Anderson's feelings toward her would be friendly. One of the penalties that -Sylvia had paid for her suc cess was the envy, in some cases the open hatred, of the ffftv or more candidates she had defeat ed. And Wally Pickering was Sheila's '"boy friend' eager to do anything in his power to win her tempestuous regard. Their car was at the door; they were only too ready to accompany Mrs. Har mon in the role or witnesses. To discredit Sylvia meant more than the satisfying of a feeling of en vy it meant, most likely, anoth er choice of a woman to play the oart of Celeste a choice which Miss Anderson believed in her heart should have fallen might still conceivably fall upon her. She explained .o Mrs. Harmon as they drove off. how she and Wally had been passine the bung alow, had seen Svdney's car drawn irp before its door; she did not, however, deem it necessary to pay that Mr. Pickering and her self had been watching the place for an hour, in the hope of mak ing that very discovery. The car was still there when they arrived; with the feline instincts for which she was noted Sheila had disdained the front door, had led her companions to the rear of the house, anticipating an excellent view through the eias doors. "She had not anticipated, how ever, any such luck as to find one of these doors wide open. The sil houette afforded by the Other brought them quickly into the house. Sylvia, in a wispy negligee, slim, enticing, stocd clasped in Sydney Harmon's arms, his lips crushed hungrily into the hollow of her throat. No wonder Mrs. Harmon had told her husband, with biting irony, that when he had finished his gocdnlghts, there was some thing Bhe had to say. What she said was crisp and to the point. "You needn't come home to night, Sydney," she remarked frostily. "If you do, I shan't lt you in. Mv lawyer will see you in the mrrning." Then she had marched out, tight-lipped, follow ed by her delighted companions. Sylvia 'was a girl of more than ordinary courage, but the words sent a quick spasm of fear through her, left her speechless, rigid, as though transfixed by an icy spear. Then she made cue attempt to ex plain what she knew must seem beyond explanation. "Mrs. Harmon!" she gasped; "oh wait please!" But that lady had already vanished in the sha dows of the porch, without deign ing to turn tier head. Although Sylvia did not know it, Icfbel Har mon had heard a good deal about her husband's visits to the bung alow, since her return from New York, had, in fact, been puzzled in her efforts to determine which of the two girls it was, that at tracted Sydney there. Now she felt that she knew. As for that philandering young gentleman, who should have dene the explaining have flung him self Into the breach and saved Syl via from the wolves while there was still time he had remained Hal lk St Eoff Electric Shop, 337 Court St. Everything electric; from motors and fixtures and sup plies to wiring.

Sylvia gazed at him scornfully, contempt uously, as she might have gazed at some poisonous, reptile. Then she pointed to the window. "Quick!" she exclaimed "tell her! Tell all of them,-before this He gets spread about! And tell them the truth, as I shall!"; Mr. Harmon staggered out, hatless, his footsteps scunding uncertainly up on the tiled floor of the porch. Sylvia closed the door. If she only had not opened it yet it had been her c-aly avenue of escape. Had the whole scene been rehearsed In ! advance, she reflected bitterly. It 'could not have bee'n more perfect- ly arranged for her destruction. I Sinking limply into a chair she ! took quick stock of the situation. Three persons knew the truth three persons could tell what had happened in such a way as, to ex onerate her completely. She was one of the three herself, but the other two, Jean and Sydney Syl via refused to believe for a mo ment that they would allow her to suffer fcr what was in no way her fault. Her "own story was simple enough her return from Mrs. Al lison's party to find Jean ill her going into the kitchen in her neg ligee to prepare her a hot drink Sydney Harmon's enforced en trance, drunk his refusal to leave without kissing her, and her disgusted consent, in order, to get rid of him and thus avoid a scan dal. All this seemed clear and rea sonable, but would it be believ- ed? Probably not, without corrobo ration, since any woman, caught in a similar situation, might suffer such an excuse. But she had Sydney- to attest the truth of the sto ry no doubt he had by this time already done so and Jean.
