A wealthy farmer solved the farm-
liolp iiroblom liy building very pretty
'ottngo houses for bla men to llvo In.
An an experiment about! two yeats ago
Jid selected a vety attractive spot In
I ho orchnrtl Just a few yaula buck
from the main mad. anil without con-
wilting nny ono built a cottage llko the
one Illustrated.
It Is small but large enough for the
purpose. It contains a very pleasant
living 'room a splendid iIIiiIuk mom
4ind a kitchen downstairs and they
nro well nrranRed both for looks and
convenience nnd u very neat stairway
make? connection with tlio collar
kitchen UvlnR loom and upstairs and
locs It without eating very much Into
tlio space required for the looms.
For some reason farmers havo never
Iiu.li! much attention to the houses
liallt for help and the universal howl
fim all parts of the country Is that
Rood men will not work on farms.
When you look Into somo or tlio
bouses they nro expected to live In
you can very leadlly heo why. It
-4-ostB very little moie to build a bouse
llko this planned with corvenlences
anil made attractive both outside and
In than to put tip nn awkward look-
ing shack that any self-respecting
woman would be ashamed to live In.
tf a woman Is discontented the man Is
almost absolutely certain to look for
smother job before very long.
When tlio farmer In question got
1lils beautiful little cottage ilnlshed
lio happened to meet the very man
lio wanted to hlro and drove with him
lo seo It. Under pretenso of engaging
lilm to fix tip the garden around the
now house and plant It with flowers.

Jow other easy.growlng staples that
every good farm gat den contains he
got tho man very much Interested In
tho littlo bouse.
Aftor tho former drovo away the
man went through the house and in
spected It caro fully from the cellar
lo tho rooT. Ho found tho neatest
prettiest littlo house he had ever seen.
Jt was nicely finished well painted
and neatly papored with good papor
having colors that matched proporly

ft credit to a good deal more expensive
dwelling. There was a copper tank in
tho top of the bathroom which was
connected with the cistern by a force
pump placed In tho collar whoro It
eould not freeze or bo likely to get out
of order.
"Without saying anything to tho boss
lio brought his wlfo over tho next
jiiornlng which wan Just -rat tho
owner of tho premises expected and
lio made It convenient to happen along
ilmt way while she wns there to con-
wilt with tho man about lavellng tho
xrouud and laying It out to tlio best
advantage. Of courso he was very
much surprised to find Mrs. Xan thoro
but ho Improved tho opportunity to

shades and a few minor details when
she laughingly told him that she would
like to live In Just such a bouse her-
self. Alter that negotiations with the
iiiiiu he wanted were easy.
I saw him about a year afterward
and ho said that woman could not bo
drlen out of tlio little bouse. Hbo
made the remark to one of the neigh
bors that she bad never hnd the lieu
of a regular bathroom befoni and slio
never would live without one again.

he wants whllo tho owner of a poor
house gets tho man ho don't wnnt and
lores hint as soon as ho can do better
elsewhere.
Ono great Improvement In this
house. Is the form of triple window
used In the lnrger rooms which admits
so much light and air when you want
It and looks much better than nny
other window that haB ever been built
for n small low-cost house. Such win-
dow frames may bo bought ready to
nail right Into the framework and
really cost less than some others that
require more hand work. It la nnoth-
or way of making machinery do the
work Instead of depending co much on
hand labot.
The projections for tho wide win
dows in tho dining room and living
room aro built tip with the framework
and the labor la very littlo more. Of
course you cannot add an extra foot to
any i art of a room without It posting
something but It Is quite possible to
put on extensions of this kind tin.'
nro worth a dozen times their extra
cost. It marks tho difference be-
tween a woll-planned well-built dwell
tng and the slipshod affairs that nro
altogether too common.
A littlo house like this containing
five rooms with the steep roof ncul
gable ends and fashionable front
porch Is an ornament to n village lot
as well as the farm. It contains a
great deal of convenlonco In propor-
tion to its size and there nrc no small
uncomfortable littlo rooms such as
wo find In most small low-cost houses.

(CoptlKUtt by Slmruiory 1'uli. Co.)
The colonel' young wife had suf-
fered a bereavement that left her In
that state of melancholia which Is the
first stngo of Insanity. Nothing could
rouse her from her dull listless buxxl-
lug. Tho surgeon of the pot. of course
advised complete chutiRe of scene; but
that was out of the question.
Whllo pondfiliig deeply on this ur-
gent problem a chance word sug-
gested to the colonel a desperate ex-
pedient. Would It succeed-.' Might
not the iemMl prove mote dniiRerous
than tho dlsouse? Anything be felt.
would be better than that alurmitig
lethargy.
Keating himself by his wife's couch
ho with diniculty secured her wan-
dering attention and this Is the story
he told:
At tho close of a hot xultry aftet-
noon threatening a thunderstorm a
young lieutenant of engineers In
charge of a government surveying
patty bad gone on sonic distance in
adxance of his men to select u enuipt
ing ploce for the night. Kmerglug
f i om tho forest be entered a glado of
considerable size bounded on one side
by a periHMidlcular ledge of rock. In
or 20 feet In height. Following the
ledge he came upon a decaying log
cabin built ngulnst the rock.
Startled lij the loneliness of this
wteck of u human shelter In the dense
wilderness the lieutenant pushed upon
the door hung on wooden pins which
creaked dismally as It htlflly yielded.
The e.rthen floor was littered with
fiagmcnU of the broken roof and a
few rusty cooking utensils.
As the young engineer stood there
gating around the mouldering ruin lie
wondered vaguely why he should care
to waste a moment In such a desolate
and uninviting spot. Yet ho could not
uinke up his mind to go. The daylight
socmed to fade nway and was re-
placed by a strange dull yellowish
glare. Several times he resolved to
leave but still ho stnyed. In a little
while he fell a sensation of numbness
In hU feet. Ills eyelids grow heavy
ud drowsiness stole over him bring
Ins with It tho terrible pnrnlysls of
nightmare. He felt that he could not
move If ho tried and bo dared not try.
Just then a distant shout came to
his ears. It drew nearer and nearer
and the surveyors crossing tho glado
In search of him. reached the open
door hanging on one of itn pegs. With
feet as heavy as lead be stepped over
Its threshold and almost with effusion
greeted Sorgt. Lawson the hardest-
headed man In tho party who came up
first. The sergeant stared at hlni and
Into the gloomy hut nnd lingered
looking curiously after the lieutenant
an with over-lightening feet be led the
men away from the cabin to a camp-
ing spot at uumo distance.
When camp was pitched the lieuten-
ant gave orders that the men should
be waked and camp broken nt half-
past three In tho morning for u long
march before breakfast In- tho cool
of the day. As thoy sat about tho lire
aftor supper enjoying a short smoke
before turning in the lieutenant could
not keep bis thoughts from the de
serted cabin and bla strange experi-
ence there. Pointing with his pipe-
stem he said to Lnwson:
"Queer old shack over there."
The sergeant nodded and continued
to look nt him steadily with such an
expression that thoolllcer felt Impelled
to relate what had happened to him.
Again I.awson uodded knocked the
ashes from bis own pipe nnd said:
"I went In myself nnd had oxactly
tho same sensations."
F.ach continued to look steadily Into
tho other's face. They were men of
nctlon not words. At length tho lieu-
tenant said:
"There's a moon for nn hour before
daylight and on hour's sleep won't bo
missed oven If we enn sleep. What
do you say to an exploration of tho
ruined cabin boforo wo march?"
It waB so ngreed.
When they stood again in the moon-
light before tho old hut half burled
In lta mossy shroud an unaccountable
depression crept over them llko a
miasmatic fog. Entering silently thoy
sat down on tho bench and looked
about as their eyas becaino accus-
tomed to the darkness.
At that moment they wore startled
by an awful sight. At the point among
tho logs of tho rear wall where tho
lieutenant had noticed tho charred
streaks a straght dagger-shaped dart
of llamo shot dovnward toward the
floor nnd remnlned there quivering.
Then a second flashed nnd wavered be-
sldo tho first. They gave out a lur.ld
sulphurous light llko flames seen
through a dense fog or smoke. J tap-
Idly this smoky light pouring through
tho crovlces shaped Itself until tlmru
appeared before them nebulous but
distinct a towering form n tho foni-
bianco of humanity. It B--jiued to glow
with fiercest heat yet far from giving
warmth It only added to tho deathly
chill. As tho lieutenant saw that fear-
ful shape solidifying out of the (lory
vnpor ho was ussalled by an unreason-
lug overwhelming uncouquornblo
fear. Ho groped toward his com-
panion who sat rigid as marble nnd
laid a cold hand upon his arm. At his
touch the trooper shrieked and
diopped to tho floor leaving his olllccr
alone with tho Shapo.
(Ab tho colonel's low Impressive
tones put vivid llfo luto this thrilling
verbal picture he noted tho light of

the hideous Shapo ndvnnced ptojectod
by the weird flames playing through
the gaping chinks of the rear wall
nnd ciept stealthily forwnid llko an

ant could in fancy feel those liniilble

stinctively threw up bis arm. as If to
ward off a physical blow when a
shock a hearing of the flesh as at the
touch of liquid nlr an etching Jet of
llnmo Hint burned to the bone ran
thmiigh his wrist. Then he felt him-
self caught and dragged over the
ground.
When he looked about with U-turn-Ing
consciousness ho found himself
surrounded by his men some yards
from the crumbling cabin with Ijiw-
sou stretched upon the grass still tin-
conhclous. Missing the lieutenant and
the sergeant at the hour set for break
ing camp the surveyors attincted by
a blight light in the ruined hhuck had
sought and found them there Insensi-
ble and apparently overcome by
inephltlc fumes that filled tho place
linth were as weak as though con-
valescing fiom a lingering fever nnd
the eaily morning inarch was aban-
doned. lly suuti.ie the leaders had so far
recoMirod as to superintend the demoli-
tion of the cabin In which they hnd
auffcied such frightful fear. When
the lotting log walls were thrown
down and burnt im extraordinary
sight was roealed. As the blazing
logs fell away fiotu tho face of the
cliff It wns seen that the rear wall
In which there had been a movable
section on pegs llko the entrance door
masked a second chamber a cavern
In the rock. There was a mile lire-
place In It deep with ashes. Over it
hung Iron hooka nnd pots; crucibles
nnd various Instruments and utensils
were scattered about. Heyond the lire-
place and a rough workbench some-
thing was vaguely outlined In the dim
light. Approached with n torch It
proved to bo a human skeleton of un-
usual height whose bleached bones
were cracked and distorted. It was
complete except tho feet which were
missing. The stumps of the ankle
bones rested In a deep vat sunk In
the floor of tho piivo Ono bony hand
split and blackened grasped a wire
that connected with the great growing
tree trunk in the cabin wall.
It was with feelings of awe that the
littlo party gazed at this strange
sight but the two leadcis wero glad
to Hnd themselves entirely Tree from
the oppressive symptoms which had
overpowered them when on tho 3pot
bofore.
Wns that the last page In tho dread
history of i-tnne student of unknown
forces somo searcher Into forbidden
mysteries trapped to his death amid
the strange devices of bis unholy oc-
cupation? It seemed so. Eagerly ab
sorbed In somo experiment whllo n
great storm was i aging without his
feet by an awful accident bad slipped
luto the vat containing no one knows
what frightful mixture. To save him-
self he had grasped tho wire attached
to the tree which at that moment by
some strange chance or merI'"-J fatal-
ity was riven by lightning vnlch fol-
lowed tho wlro ami passed through
his body.
Hnd the sultry summer air heavily
charged with electricity ennhled tho
restless spirit of the soiceror to utllk'.o
again that fateful circuit Impregnate
tho very ground with a roslstloss bo-
numbing power and mutorlallzo Itself
electrically Into tho lambent flaming
figure they hnd seen? So they always
bclloved and the dcop scar an Inch
long In tho lloutenant'a wilst which
ho will carry to his grave confirms
him In that bollof.
Tho colonel's wlfo stnrted up as ho
concludod his story and following her
gaze his oyes also rested on a livid
scar on his own light hnnd reaching
from tho bnso of the thumb to tho
urlst.
"O Hlchard!" she cried ilslng and
walking tho room In her excitement
"I know at lust tho secret of that
dreadful burn. It was you who suf-
fered that awful experience. Oh what
If I had lost you too!"
Raising his oyes to bors he Baw
with Joy tho wholesome brightness of
sanity and health. As alio sprang to
her feet tho Hhackles of her morbid
fancies dropped away and sho stood
thoro glowing onco more tho- winsome
and vivacious bride. Tho story had

A Fancy Fish Course
For an elaborato luncheon try a
fish course of sardines In aspic Jelly.
This berved with rolls or hot biscuit
and garnished with lemon la good to

The aspic Jolly Is mndo In thin way:
To three pints of cleur veal stock add
two oiincos of gelutlno previously soft-
oncd In cold'wutor. Mix together a
tablespoon of catsup and one of vine-
gar. Add a teaspoon of ground herbs
marjoram thyme savory or parsley.
Next comes a teaspoon each of mace
cloves allspice popper and salt. Heat
up the whites of two eggs and tho yolk

and stir all In with tho stock nnd gel-

for many upiiotlzlng dishes and well
worth the trouble.

question la often asked nnd the an
swor Is rather an nntl-cllmax. For
although the term has n learned sound
It moans simply weMng. To "liinrln
