Fortunately, there are simple means of minimizing these difficulties, and they contribute to the usefulness of both curtains and shades, Lowering the windows from the top and so letting out the hot air that col- lects in the upper part of the rooms is one of the best means of cooling and ventilating the house. It is not as bard on the curtains, either, as opening the window at the bottom, because not so much of the material can be forcedout to the screen. It is more wearing on the shades, though —and sometimes annoying, too—un- lose some provision is made to keep these from flopping back and forth when the draft is strong.

"Sometimes the genre is 'harder. I take back something I inferred a moment ago -chat all women wound dothe same. The best of them, the Most of then, still will go through hell for an idea; and that'sthe kind whose spirit is forth while to break, Do you know any one who right now, likely enough, is trudging along through this rellisb snow with forty pounds of traps over her back?" Ned shuddered, hurling off his doubt, believing yet in the findelity of his star. "I don't know, and I don't care," he answered "That's what Bess Gilbert is doing, and you know it, There young man, is a woman worthy -of my steel!" He turned and strode out the door Ned was left to his thoughts and the still, small voices of the waste places, alone with the wilder v+ss night whose word was the master wordof life, and with the wind that sobbed unhappy se- crets as it swept his cabin roof. Ned Cornet, his fiancee, Lenore, and. Bess, a seamstress, are sur- vivors ' of a shipwreck. They oiled refuge on an island inhabited by a mar, named Doomsdorf and his In- diae wife. • The master of the island teles Ned and the girls that they must be his .;laves. Lenore is too weak to do any work' so the burden falls entirely on the shoulders of Bess and' Ned. The prisoners build a cabin anal Doomsdorf gives that an old stove, As soon as the cabin is completed Ned and. Bess areinformed that they are to learn to be trappers, Lenore is allowed to remain with the squaw and help her with the housework. Bess and Ned are given separate rout- es, The squaw starts Bess on her way and Doomsdorf instructs Ned. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER XX: (Cont'd.) The dam itself didn't appear to be a natural formation of rock. It looked more like driftwood, but it was inconceivable that more drift could be piled in this ordered way. "It must be a beaver dam," he said, "You're right for once," Doomsdorf agreed. "A big beaver weighs about 60 pounds—and he's about the handiest boy to trap there is, You'll wonder what the purpose of these dams is, As far as I can maker out, simply to keep the water at one level, You Icnow these little streams rise and fall like the tides. They've learned, in a few hundred thousand years of their development, that it doesn't pay to build a nice house and then have the creek tome up and wash it away and drown them out," Doomsdorf explained that a trap set on the house itself so alarmed the animals that the entire colony was likely to desert the dam. Instead the trap was set just below the sur- face of the water at a landing—a place where the beaver went in and out of the water in the course of their daily work. Doomsdorf still marched in his easy, swinging gait and ever it was a harder fight to keep pace. Yet Ned dared not lag behind. I-Iis master's temper was over uncertain in these long, tired hours of afternoon. Tired out, weakened, aching in every muscle and not far from the absolute limit of exhaustion , Ned staggered to the cabin door at last. }Ie had put out all the traps he had brought from the lame cabin; thence his course• lay along a blazed trail that skirted the edge of the narrow timber belt, over the ridge to the Forks cagin. Doomsdorf entered, then in the half-light stool regard- ing the younger man who had fol- lowed him in. Ned tried to stand erect. He must not yield to the almost irresistible impulse to throw himself. down on the floor and rest. He dared not risk Doomsdorf's anger; how `did he know what instruments of torture the latter's satanic ingenuity might contrive in this lonely cabin! Nor was his mood to be trusted tonight, His gray eyes shone with suppressed excitement; and likely enough he would be glad of an excuse for some diversion to pass the hours pleasant- ly. It was very lonely and strange out here, in the open in the full sweep of the wind over the barren lands. But Ned wasn't aware of Dooms- dorf's plans. The great blond man stretched his arms, yawning, buttoned his coat tighter about him, and turn- ed to go. "I'll see you in about five days," he remarked laconically. Ned wakened abruptly from his re- very. "You mean—you aren't going to show me anything more?" "I've shown you how to set your traps, for every kind of an animal," Doomsdorf said. "You ought to be able to do the rest, By the time you come around, we'll likely have freez- ing weather—that means you'll have to thaw out your animals before you skin them. "Here and here and here"—he paused, to put in Ned's hands a clasp hunting knife, razor sharp, a small pocket hone to whet his tools, and a light axe that had been hang - lag back of the stove—"are some things you'll need. The time will come when you'll need snowshoes, too. There's a pair on the rafters. Now I'm going to tramp back to the cabin to spend the night—in more agreeable company." For a moment the two men stood regarding each other in absolute silence, Then Doomsdorf's keen ears, eager for such sounds, caught the whisper of Ned's troubled breath- ing Presently a leering smile flash- ed through the blond beard. "You mean -•you and Lenore will be alone—" Ned asked, "You saw the squaw start'out with Bees?" was the triumphant anbwer, "But why should you care? It was Lenore's own wish to Stay, She'd take me and comfort any time, sooner than endure' the cold with you. Of such stuff, my boy, are women made." One excellent way to accomplish this when there are full-length screens on the windows is to put two extra pairs of brackets for holding the roll- er on the inside casements of win- dows that are to be lowered from the top, One pair should be about eight inches lower on the easement than those at the top, and a second pair about six inches below these, By such means the shade may be adjusted quickly and easily according to the open space desired above, leaving a free opening fo rtbe exit of hot air from the room. Lacking such brackets, the next beat device is a small cup hook screwed into the casement in such a position as to meet an eye in one end of the stick at the bottom of the shade, and bold it fast wben desired, This eliminates much of the noise, but unless the hook is quite high on the casement, the ahade prevents free passage of the air and so retards the cooling of the room. Dainty Curtains All Summer One of the greatest conveniences for keep+••g the curtains clean when Write your name and address plain- windows must be opened at the bot- ly, giving number and size of such tom, is the spring clothespin.. Enamel- ed to match the woodwork in color and fastened to one edge of the case- ment by an upholstering cord of the sane color, it may be made as orna- mental as it is useful. By clamping this on the curtain at the proper place the materials will be held away from the opening, allowing free passage of cool air into the room without in any way impairing the freshness or wear- ing qualities of tho curtain. This lit- tle device is especially needed in sleeping rooms where fresb air as well as dainty appointments are the rule. Unless tbe window screens are kept clean, tbe first driving rain will force the dirt and dust onto the outside win- dow panes.

(Continued in Our Next, Issue) Sun Life Head Helps Old Home Canadian Endows Experi mental Farm for Crofters in "Farthest Hebrides" Stornoway, Scot.—A large crowd as- sembled here recently to give a re- ception to T, B, Macaulay, of Mont- real. Mr, Macaulay discussed his schemes for improving the conditions of the crofters, and said he had arranged to endow the experimental farm near Stornoway to the extent of £500 year- ly. His primary interest, be said, was agricultural development in the is- land. The experimental farm near Stornoway was working out remark ably wen;. and the results were in every way encouraging, Already they had made an epoch- making discovery with regard to the reclamation of peat—namely, the tre- mendous importance of phosphate, which, in the form of basic slag, was a comparatively inexpensive fertilizer, The piece of land chosen for the farm was, he continued, not one of the best, but one of the worst, and if they could make a success there they could any- where, Ali kinds of problems regard- ing cultivation, fertilization, and costs would have to be worked out on the farm, and his endowment of £5000 a year was given on condition that it• would be continued as a demonstra- tion farm. It would be run in co- operation with the Macaulay Soil Re- search Institute in Aberdeenshire, to which he had given an endowment of 810,000, in putting to practical use the knowledge already gained' and the additional knowledge that would be gained through the experimental farm. Referring to the question of how to improve the conditions of the crofters, Mr. Macaulay saidhe believed they were suffering from an excess of the communal system, but thought it had its drawbacks. When he first came to the island he had an idea of inclosed communal pastures for each township, but the more he had seen of it the more he was convinced that there was a better way, and that was that each crofter should have a certain area of pasture Ind in the vicinity of his vii- ige for his own exclusive use, while the moo rand hill gratings would con- tinue to be held in common as at pre- sent. In order to show what could be done in this way he was willing, in the case of two typical villages, one on the east and one on the west side of the island, to supply all the fencing material required to enclose 30 to 50 acres for each crofter. He would also give the use of a suitable plow to turn the inclosed land, and would supply each man with fertilizers sufficient for five acres. What might be done in the future would depend entirely on costs and the success of the evperi- ment. His underlying idea was that individual reward for individual effort was going to have more effect than anything else, — Christian Science Monitor. XXI Thus began a week of trial for Ned, For the first time in his life he was thrown wholly Spon his own resources standing or falling by his own worth, Should he fall insensible in the snow there were none to seek hhn and bring him into shelter. If he shoulu go a- stray and miss the cabins there was no one to set him on•the right path again He was meeting the wilder- ness alone, and face to fee.. He crossed the divide to the Forks cabin, followed the springs to Thirty - Mile cabin, descended to•the sea, and along the shore to the hone cabin, just as he had been told to do. He put out his traps as he went in what seemed to him the most likely places, using every wile Doomsdorf had taught hint to increase his chances for a catch. In spite of the fact that he went alone, the second day was ever so much easier than the first; and he came into the home cabin only painfully tired, but not absolutely exhausted on the fifth All. through the five days he had strengthened himself with the thought that Lenore awaited him at the journey's and; and she had never seemed' so lovely to him as when, returning in the gray twilight, he saw her standing framed in the lighted doorway of the horse cabin. Doubtless it was his own eagerness that made her seem so slow in com- ing into his arms; and his own great fire that caused her to seem to lack warmth. He ea,. been boyishly an- ticipatory, foolishly exultant. Yet it was all sweet enough. The girl flut- tered a single instant in his arms, and he felt repaid for everything. "Let me go," she whispered tense- ly, when his arms tried to hold her. "Don't let Doomsdorf see. He might kill you—" But it came about that she didn't finish the warning. Presently she felt his arms turn to steel She felt herself thrust back until her eyes looked straight into his. She had never seen Ned in this mood before. Indeed, she couldn't ever remember experiencing the sensation that swept her now: se- cretly appalled at him, burnt with his fire, wavering beneath his will. She didn't know he had arms like that. His face when she tried to meet it, hardly seemed his own. The flesh was like gray iron, the eyes cold as stones, "What has Doomsdorf to do with :t?" he demanded. "Has he any claim on you?" "Of course not," she hastened to reply. "He's treated me as well as could be expected. But you know- he slakes claims on us all," The fact could not be denied. Ned turned from, her, nestling to the fire for warmth, Th,. happines he had expected in this long-awaited night had failed to materialize. Ho ate his great meal, sat awhile in sporadic conversation with the girl in the snug cabin; then went wearily to his blankets Often, in the little hour after sup- per about the stove, he wakened from thinking., about Bess, She had come his revery to find that he had been in from her line the previous day and had gone out again; and he hall not dreamed that her absence could leave such a gap in their little circle He had hardly regarded her at all, yet he found himself missing her. She was always so high-spirited, en- couraging him with her own high heart, But his blankets gave him slum ber, and he. rose 'in the early hours, breakfasted, and Started out on his lonely trap line.
