" "fttas o ily tho rising wind."
"liut . . . why draw your sword?"
"A futfllivo'n Instinct! Pray read
Juliun'a letter,"
My lady frowned at Sir Richard,
then turned to the letter. Having
rend, she glanced up and spoke
iiui'Htioiiirifjly :
"Here Is some mlstuke!" and she
read aloud aa followi:

"Mlslaliu, llfcloect!" . nodded Sir

Onco aaln the ominous change In

howed head he set an unfiddcd

"Ilnro now Is Julian's lottur. He

wutchod hor lovely, Inlont face.
"Oh, wonderful!" sho excl. limed,
"this cf itself mlslit prove our In

"the accusers of fluyfford o' Weare
must h.V proof absolute and mani

So BaylnK, ho stooped for tho lan
tern nnd thus rcmnlnod, smlltcn
motionless, for In the dimness nil
t out them rang a fearful, long
drawn cry that roso to a Bhud.lur

hear.
Sir Diehard drew a deep breath
nnd, ns :ie turned, my lady snw the
Klltlor of his sword; bo for a bug
moment s' od they mnllonless.
Somebody ... Is dead!" she
whispered at Inst. "Oh, what hor
ror liclh yonder?"
"That 1 must learn," ho answored,
peering Into the darkness. "Will
you wait hero or go with mo?"
For answer she slipped a trem
ulous hand In his, and so, with
never a word, began to follow
whither he led through the horrible
Inky darkness of tho tunnel until
they emerged closo to tho ruins of
tho ancient mill.
Sir Itl.liard glanced nt her
troubled faco. "I think 'twould ho
wiser for you to wait hero "
"No, Uicliard, where you go,
Viero I go."
"Thou courageous soul!" bo mur
mured. So side by side, they crept across
tho grass Into tho shadow of tho
mossy building. Turning a sharp

He brought her to "ajliidy nftfe
beside the gres water-wheel.
"Hide you here till I return!"
Then he stole away and stepped
Into the mill, sword advanced In
ready hand; the dim llgure never
moved, so he advanced and bent
ubove this whimpering misery,
"Speak, man ppeak!" cried Sir
Richard. Tom Pitt slowly raided
one arm and pointed with Blinking

"There!" he gasped. Tw.fti .

"Ay, and who who . killed him.

" Twas not me. . , . Ah. not me!
And yet he . . . pointed at me ..."
The words were lost In a sudder

"Look . . . he comes again!"
Sir Ilk-hard turned about and re '
colled for, beyond the open door

In familiar green velvot ridlnj-coat

ment it leered askance .on them,
blasting tha very night with hor
ror, and then was gone.
Julian's message lay revealed.
Sir nichnrd leaned back against
tho wall and lifted hand to clammy
brow. ... A moment's deathly still
noss, then uttering a broken cry,
Tom Pitt lenpt to the window,
clambered, through and away. Next
moment Sir Richard was outside,
and hastened back to Helen.
"Did you henr . . . see . . . aught?"
tie questioned.
"1 heard tho ninn Pitt groaning.
I saw him come leaping from the
window, yondor "
"Did he spy you, Helen?" ,
"Noy, he fled like a wild thing.
. . . Since wo are here, lot us seek

"Nay, but," he nnswered, "dnwn
Is none so far "
"So' much better," she answered.
So ho brought her Into the mill;
nnd here seated, my lady set her
self to puzzle out Julian Guyfford's
last message. .
"'Opposite the day?' sighed she.
" TIs written thus: 'Opposite the
day, the 1" from going out and In,
tho 15 from that which bears you
up!' "
"Sounds mere folly!" he an
swered. "Opposite the day!" she mur
mured. "Look now whore may
ono sco the day but hy the window?
your rlddlo begins: Opposite the

"Faith-now ", he began. ..
"Tho 10 front going out and In!'

"Ay, so 1 think, Helen; but It

"Paces, Richard try paces."
"Nay, tt can never bo paces. Let

"Then tho bricks, Richard, try

So, fro-'. tho door lie numbered
the bricks of the wall until ho hnd

"Well?" cried Helen. "What di

"Alas, Helen, nought but tho veri

Foundation Walls
And Basements of
1 Durable Concrete
By . the ArcbltacU' , . binall
' JluuM Service Uureau of the
IjnMed htatea, In. ,
A strong, .durable, foundation is
the first requirement fur every
good building. Whether the struc
ture is a towering skyscraper or a
amaJl home, sound footings and
foundations are a necessity. Foun
dation and , baaemerd; walls built
of concrete are of two types, those
made of concrete cast in place and
thoae built of precaat unit. The
latter type, known aa conciete mas
onry construction, often la more
convenient than monolithic con
crete for the construction of foun
dation walls above grade and for
walla enclosing basementa. Concrete
block and concrete . building tile
unlla are laid up quickly and eco
nomically and provide walls of
great Htiength and carrying capac
ity. No forma are required.,
Plain, unsurfaced block or tile
are uiuid for walls below grade. For
the foundation wall above g:ade the
unlta may be cemented smooth or
stuccoed with Portland cement.
They may also be faced with aood
grade of brick. For the least ex
pensive construction the plain unit
laid In good cement mortar and
carefully pointed makes an excel-;
lent wall. I
Water-TIfiht Walla Below Grade .
It costs much less to build a
water-tight wall than to repair a
leaky one. Consequently, the time
to make a basement wall water
tight is when it is built Monolithic
concrete foundations can be. easily
made watertight if the auunt of
mixing water -used in making the
concrete Is carefully regulated. For
concrete masonry foundations in
ordinary well-drained sol), the most
Important precaution ia to see that
joints are welt filled with cement
mortar and carefully pointed.
It is not always easy, however, to
get first class workmanship, and in
heavy, waterlogged aoil the pres
- aure of water may be great enough
to force its way through construc
tion seams. The following precau
tions will guard against the possi
bility of leaks developing through
defective joints. Similar, methods
are useful In repairing leaky baiie
mentH and for insuring water tight
ness In basementa built of con
crete block or concrete building tile.
Guarding Against Leak
In each case a line of drain tile
Is placed entirely around the out
aide of the footing and is connected
to a sewer or dry well. The excava
tion above the tile is filled to within
a foot of the grade line with grav
ed, cinders or other suitable mate
rial of a porous nature to provide
a fill that will allow water to seep
through quickly. , When the foun
dation Is erected so near another
building that it is impossible to run
a line of tile around the outside,
the tile may be placed on the in
side of the footings and slightly
below it. When there is consider
able water in the soil it id often
(advisable to place lines of tile both
inside and outside the footing.
Aa a further precaution In secur
ing a water-tiaht basement wall,
two or more coata of Portland ce
ment plaster may be applied to the
exterior surface as soon as. wall
forma are removed, or. In the case
of a conciete block wall, just as
aoon as the mortar joints have hard
ened. The plaster is mixed in tho
por portions of one pint cement to
three parts sand. No lime should be
used In plaster which will be In
contact with the soil. Beforc.apply
ing the plaster, the surface should
be dampened evenly to secure uni
form suction. Copyright 1029. The

piVE-ROOM bungalows are common. This one Is
not. It is uncommon, first, because It is com
plete, and second, because it is well done. These are
qualities which architects, because of their special
training, can bring to small house designs. Tha
five-room bungalow Is popular because it ia econom
ical to build and because it Is easy to manage. There
is sufficient amount of space for the usual small
family, yet no more than is necessaiy. Thus house
keeping effort is reduced to a minimum. There are
no stairs to climb,., ... . i
But the principles ot architecture fine, planning,
substantial .const ruction excellent appearances go
with this small size house just as truly as they do
with a state capltol. In many ways It baa to be even
more - accurately developed, becauae little things
count so heavily. That is where the principle of
completeness is essential.-
As an example of thin, sea what this plan, 5-B-42,
offers. First, a vestibule with, a coat closet and a.
telephone niche. There is an extra door that leads
into tiie side bedroom, making Jt possible in the
early stages of home ownership to rent this bedroom
and give the renter passage to this space without
going through the rest of the house.

Q What can be done to atop
wood from rotting? This la in
floor joists. The basement U
not excavated. There 1b a space
of 18 inches between ground
and under side of joists.
A Wood rots when' it is damp
and not otherwise. The fungus
causing rot requires moiuture. Trie
cure therefore consists in removing
the cause of moisture. The eaith
should be excavated from the under
aide of the joists so that there ia
a clearance of at least three feet.
Openings should be left in fouiw
dation wall for ventilation. Have a
competent builder inspect the work.
Have him remove all rotted Um.

Q Our fireplace, built of
smooth face brick, ia smoked.
Also soma of the bricks ate
jmteared with mortar. What
vould you suggest to help the
feoks of it?
A Scrub the bricks with a wire
brush and dilute solution of hydro
chloric acid. Keep the acid out of
the mortar joints. Cover adjoining
woodwork so it will not get splat
tured. When finished, wash down
with clear water.
Q Where insulation Is used
between studs In the side walls
of a house, ia there any danger
of damage in a few years be
cause uf moisture getting Into
. it?
A No. This Is assuming that the
walls arc sheathed and covered
with waterproof building paper,
well lapped and nailed.
Q Some soft wood boards
are loose evidently due to In
sufficient nailing. Is it possi
ble to repair this without tear
ing up floors ?
A They may be face nailed. If
It is done carefully, it will do very
well.
Q Our flue leaks and stains
woodwork below. It rests on a
support, does not run from the
ground up. Can it be repaired
so as to avoid the expense ot re
building?
AThere Is only one cure for
such a chimney stack, that is to
tear it out and build it from the
ground. Otherwise you not only
have a very considerable fire haz
ard, but on account of the fact that
it is impossible to keep f;uch a Hue
warm, vapors will be condensed out
which will afterward run down and
stain the woodwork.
Q One of our local contrac
tors has just finished a new
house with oak floors, using two
coats of oil and wax, .with ,no
filler or varnish.. Is this con
sidered a good finish for floors?
A This is an excellent method of
finishing oak f lporing. It has an
appearance distinctly different from
the standard filler and varnish job.
A choice between the two is prac-
tically a matter of taste.
Q After a heavy rain plaster
Is damp at the side of the fire
place. We are unable to find
the. leak. What can I do to
overcome this? i
A Have a roofer inspect the roof
to see that all flashings ate tight.
Inspect also the points v hero the
wall joins the chimney yta.'k. Make
sure that there is not p Jtuk at tiia
top of the stack itself through a
defective coping,
