from the oarlleat age, where traces of
the pure religion of Zerdunht which

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.

"Aw, mother," protested Gale, "I

that there were erected in the United
States between 350,000 and 400,000
family dwellings in a year This
includes homes and apartments. Dur
ing the war construction of houses
waa practically at a standstill with
the exception of what building was
done by the government. 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. A man with an income
of $5000 a year or more doesn't have
much trouble getting desirable quar

afford to pay high rents. The wage
earner and those earning small sal

these folks that decent homes must
be built
