It bos been a region of culture from the oarlleat age, where traces of the pure religion of Zerdunht which he brought among the nations from Mount Albordl, may etlll be recog nized. The people who Inhabit the aouthern aide of tbe great ridge of hills have nlwnji displayed greater Inventive power and greater constancy In pre serving their InHtltntions tban the tribes who dwell to the, northward. The former they owe to the ease and leisure afforded them by a most pro pitious climate and by their settled ho Mm, not being prompted by a reat lens spirit to a migratory Ufa.

Peggy lay In her white bed, wakeful and Nturliig at tho moon. It wus awe some of course, 'to bo entirely alone at this silent hour of the night, In an old mansion on an unfrequented sub urban road. At memory of tbe safe sheltered years past, her heart con tracted suddenly. "How would It sei-m," she wondered, "to be away for ever from the eld home." Kor there wua but one condition on which she might remain and that condition was part of Peggy's problem. Long ago, when her stepfather had taken her mother to his heart, he had taken the girl too, with all a parent's love. Father Knowles had truly been to her a father. Perhaps becanae his own on had proven a dlaappolntment, the man's hungry affection overflowed to the girl who was hla wife's daughter and Peggy bad repaid his love with tender care In his later years. Ilobert took with him a legacy left by his mother, and It was supposed that like a prodigal be would return when that legacy waa exhausted. Peg gy's mother had stepped la later to fill the lonely breach, and the elder Itobert Knowles' last days had been his happiest. His will, Peggy learned had been made In her favor, leaving her In the event of her mother's death, sole heir to his estate. Peggy was quite alone In the big echoing house of memories, when most surprisingly Ilobert Knowles, the son, came bock, It was at evening and Peggy In her white frock received him In the fire light. And he was at once so pleasing, and good looking, and altogether d!f ferent from what she had been led to expect, that her aversion vanished, and as the evening wore on. friendll ness took Its place. Robert Knowles was apparently regretful of his youth ful rashness and neglect to his father, and the excuses he gave sounded true enough. Peggy generously gave him tbe benefit of the doubt, and when she assured the son that no will could be found, be announced his Intention of taking up his abode In the house until the matter should be settled. Old Mrs Weston, the Jioiisekeeper, called In to give Informunon. told Mr. Knowles that she had witnessed a will mnde not long before his father's death Peggy ierplexed and confused as to her own position in the house which had be-n her home, yielded to her foster-brother's pleadings, for so Itobert Knowles named blniKelf and stayed on, that her possible claim might be proved. And when there seemed no lonper hope of that possi bility, Itobert Knowles asked the girl to marry him. Peggy was not sur prised when, with white tense face, the man nnked his onstnn. she had win love hovering near. Kor Peggy In her own wisdom hnd learned the meaning of love, though Paul Helmet's manner of love w-as different In some Intangible way from Itobert Knowles And she bad told Robert Knowles no to his question. Marriage was the con dition upon which Robert Knowles of fered to Peggy her home, and she re-fn-d. Suddenly the girl snt up In bed, an unmistakable though muffled sound In tbe lower hull started her heart hammering painfully. When the girl could bear the un certainty no longer, she sprang from her bed and slipned Into dressing gown and slippers. The lower rooms were dark. The burglar wns on the floor below at Father Knowles library safe, Just ns she hnd expected him to be. She sank down behind the desk to watch the burglar. Peggy silently considered; there seemed no sane chance of seeking aid. Then, with a little soft rush, Peggy was at the burglar's side. "Oh," she whispered eagerly, "will you do that again please Just that way." The man wheeled around abruptly, his hands caught her. "If you mnke a sound," he threaten ed. Her quick answer stayed the motion of his hand toward her mouth. "I won't," Peggy earnestly .agreed. "It wouldn't do any good." Tbe burglar stared fiercely. "What the" he begnn, but the girl's words coming In a soft rush In terrupted. "You opened r compartment In the safe," she explained, which has never been opened before. I saw you. It hnd papers in It, folded up. I think that a will Is there which leaves this property to me. Please raise that slide again." The man's aharp eyes left the girl's face with a short, queer laugh. Then, toward the two swung a shining panel. Peggy put forth her hand excitedly to draw out some folded papers. See," she told him triumphantly. "I wns right." "Do you know?" he said grimly, "I almost thought you were stringing me." The burglar laughed uneasily. "When you have decided to drop all this crookedness," she said, "go right to Mr. Paul Ilelmer, he will help you to make good. I am grateful," she added gravely, "for your finding of the will. I shall keep my old home and Robert Knowles may have the rest." "Then," said the man, "you'd bet ter send that there will right to your lawyer, and get it out of this house. I'll mall It, if you'll trust me," he grinned over the word, "on my way." From the doorway the burgiar looked back again at the girl, the di rected envelope in Mb hand. "Good night und good luqto little one," he said awkwardly. VAGUE ABOUT "RED" LEADERS But Young Bolshevist 8oldler Had Heard of Trotiky, and Inci dentally of Lenlne. I have Just bad a talk with a Pol shevlst soldier, captured by tho Poles when he was participating in a bold scouting enterprise. He is a young man twenty-one years old, coming from one of the Interior departments of IttiHHla. Ho Is illiterate and a con firmed liolshevlk. Discipline, be said, was very good In the liolsbevlst arrny; still they did not obey orders because they were or ders, but "as a matter of conscience." Tbe military forms of address had been abolished ond even the officers were spoken to as comrades. Natural ly the soldiers Mtand at attention be fore their officers; but that was be cause every soldier In the army fol lows the bidding of his conscience and "it would be foolish" not to stand at attention before one's commander. lie had never seen a general or any of the higher officers, but he knew tbe commander In chief was called Trots ky, and that there waa another bead man. He pondered a moment trying to recall who the second one was, and then suddenly remembered, "Lenlne, He knew nothing more about him, and did not know the names of any other commander. He kept saying "Everyone on our side Is a Bolshevik," and seemed to be Impressed with the great power and authority of the BolahevlkL When asked who Trotzky was he replied. "A very popular Jew." "The Jews are much liked in the army. They never allow themselves to be captured. They bate the Poles so, and the Poles hate them so and Invariably murder them that they prefer suicide to being made prisoners." From the Vosslsche Zeltung (Berlin).

Senator Miles Polndexter, from the state of Washington, used to live on a ranch. One hot day he was in the garden weeding onions, when Mrs. Polndexter came across her eleven-yenr-old son Gale comfortably ensconced on tbe front porch enjoying the cool shade and a good book. "Why, Gale!" she cried, "aren't you ashamed of yourself to sit here and read while your poor father is out there working In all that heat? Go anc help him this minute!" "Aw, mother," protested Gale, "I can't be bothered with weeding onions. Besides. I've got an engagement to go swimming at 11 o'clock."

As a re sult of this we came out of the war far behind our regular building pro gram. The situation has ;not im proved a great deal since the sign ing of the armistice except for a brief spurt early in 1919, because those who contemplated buildine homes put it off until prices should become stabilized. "In 1919 it is estimated that there were built only about 70,000 houses in the United States, while the number erected during 1920 will probably turn out to have been even smaller than that figure. "While it is true there are many houses for sale, these are nearly all now occupied by tenants. The num ber of houses for rent in most com munities is practically nil and the majority of these houses are not suit able for the needs of the average wage earner.
