Many City Families Work
A survey of 25,000 families in Chi-
cago shows the average number in a
family to be fewer than five. In two-
fifths of Chicago families the wife, or
children, or both, are wage-earners.
An interesting fact is 'that the number
of children in divorced homes and the
number living in lodging houses and
hotels is very small. It takes parents
twenty-four years to rear a four-child
family. During seven years of this
time one child is cared for; during an-
other seven years, two children; dur-
ing six years, three children, and dur-
ing the last four years, four children.
Best of all, there is nothing more
worth while if the children are brought
up right.—Capper’s Weekly.

SYNOPSIS
“Go Ahead’’ Morton, Virginian,
and secret service man, receives
a letter from Tom Fair, bandit
leader, urging that some one be
sent to rescue Stella Morton, fos-
ter sister, from the gang. An
enemy in the gang prevents Fair
from helping the girl. The letter
was intended for “Go Ahead's’’
father, who is away from home.
“Go Ahead” decides to go him-
self. At “Robbers’ Roost” Fair
explains the situation to Stella,
now eighteen years old. She does
not want to leave Fair, for
whom she has the affection of a
daughter. Jim Barker, sheriff
and aspirant for Stella’s hand,
directs Fair to run a shipment
of arms into Mexico.
CHAPTER III—Continued
—6—
Fair frowned. “I don’t like that,”
he said hesitantly.
“Does sound like a bid, don’t it?
But I reckon it was just a warnin’.
‘We’re enemies,' he goes on. ‘You an’
1 and Fair are just meetin’ now under
a flag of truce for a particular pur-
pose. Once we’ve put that over, we’ll
dig up the hatchet again. Meanwhile
I don’t want to take any unfair ad-
vantage. You tell Fair that I’m
wholly in his hands, an’ that I’ll meet
all his conditions about Cousin Stella
and all that. And tell him to be care-
ful not to let me find out anything
that he don’t want me to know, for
I’ll have to use it after the armistice
is over. An’ I told him that would
be all right.”
Fair nodded. “Right enough,” he
agreed, “Now what’s the layout?”
“ ’Bout as we fixed for it to be. He
got off at Must-in last night, in cow
puncher fig, intendin’ to get a horse
an’ ride toward Loboville, kinder loaf-
in’ along an’ askin’ for work but tailin’
care not to get none. Loboville and
on to here, after plantin’ Go Ahead’s
nigger there.”
“His nigger?”
“That’s right. I guess I ain’t men-
tioned him. H&’s a smart darky, all
right. He’s fixed up as a Mexican.
He’s goin’ to project round Loboville
and find where he can get horses
mucho pronto if Go Ahead needs ’em.
and all that. Bridget knows about
him. I told Go Ahead to stop at Brid-
get’s placQ if I didn’t meet him with
Bob before he got to Loboville.”
“Good.” Fair got up. “You’ve done
fine, Jack,” he gaid. “Fine!”
G.'een stirred awkwardly. “I’d do
a lot more for Bob’s sake,” he mut-
tered.
“Bob’s sake!” Fair stared at the
boy. “You, too, Jack?” he said, sadly.
Greeia nodded. “Yes! Me, too,”
he answered.
Impulsively Fair held out his hand.
“We’re going to miss her, Jack,” he
said. “But—it’s for her good.”
Green took the hand. “Yes,” he
said. “It’s for her good. I reckon
it’s the only way to get her safe from
Barker.”
“It’s the only way, Jack. . . .
Now I’ll see if I can find her.”
But Fair could not find her, of
course; and for some time he was un-
able to discover where she had gone.
Her horse was in the stable (she had
ridden Charley Harris’ horse); and*
the sentries at the exit swore that she
had not gone out that way.
Deeply alarmed at . last, Fair spread
the alarm; and in time learned that
Charley, whom he had supposed gone
with the whisky runners, was sick in
camp And the discovery that some
one riding Charley’s horse had gone
with Wade seemed to explain what
had happened.
' This discovery comforted Fair con-
siderably. for he knew that more than
half the men in Wade’s party were
very friendly to the girl, and he was
entirely sure that they would not let
her come to any harm. The thought
of Barker, of course, occurred to him;
but he speedily dismissed it, feeling
sure that the sheriff would not risk
a showdown under such circum-
stances Stella, he decided, was safe,
unless something went wrong at the
border crossing; and this was improb-
able.
Only one thing troubled him, and
that was lest Stella’s absence would
interfere with her meeting Go Ahead
and leaving for the East. But, after
a little thought, he began to hope that
hey escapade might be for the best.
Filled with this idea, he hurried
back to Green. “Jack,” he called.
“Where’ll Go Ahead be early tomor-
row morning? Might get to the J/B
ranch about eight o’clock, mightn't
he?”
“I reckon so.”
Fair drew a long breath. “That’s
our chance,” he said. “Stella slipped
away this morning with Wade’s party
that went to run guns and whisky
across the line. They’re south of the
.T/B ranch now; but they ought to be
back there for breakfast tomorrow
morning. If you can get in touch with
Stella and Go Ahead in time you may
be able to fix things so that she can
join him right away. It’s only a
chance at best; and even if you do
find them both you’ll probably have a
devil of a time in getting Stella away
from Wade. You’ll have to watch
your chance and grab it if it comes.”
“I will.”
“I knew you would, Jack. I’d go
myself if I knew Go Ahead, and if I
dared to leave the valley till Stella
was safe. . . . She won’t want to
go without seeing me; but you tell
her I say she must, for another
chance that’s as good as this may be
a long time coming.”
Green nodded. “Sure, I under-
stand,” he answered. “I’ll start right
now.”
CHAPTER IV
From daylight till mid-afternoon
Wade and his followers rode steadily
southward. Then they crossed the
railroad at a “flag stop” which was
marked only by a small shed, scarcely
bigger than a sentry box, set in. the
midst of apparent desolation. Closer
scrutiny, however, disclosed, a mile
or two southward, the buildings of
the J/B ranch, owned by Jim Barker,
sheriff of Lobo county, who had cho-
sen that brand for his cattle or, more
accurately, for the cattle on his
ranch. Whispers about the extraor-
dinary increases and sudden decreases
of the J/B cattle were plentiful in the
region; but they remained whispers
and very cautious ones at that. Bar-
ker was not a safe man to offend.
At this ranch Wade and his men
halted to eat and rest. The guns were
there, packed just as they had come,
a few boxes at a time (marked “hard-
ware”) during the last week or ten
days. The wagons that were to take
them were ready; and so were the
fresh horses that the bandits were to
ride, leaving their own to rest over-
night and be ready for any dash away
that might be necessary. Wade and
his followers had nothing to do until
nightfall made it safe to ride to the
border, some twenty miles to the
south.
Stella had long before been “discov-
ered,” but her presence had caused no
special comment. It was not the first
raid by many in which she had taken
part; and no one except Wade
seemed to know that Fair had object-
ed to her going on this or similar ven-
tures.
The delay at the ranch lasted sev-
eral hours, part of which Stella spent
in wandering about the place, looking
a; the horses and chatting with the
Mexican riders who cared for them,
especially with Diego, the foreman.
Stella did not like Mexicans. Like
most “gringos” she thoroughly dis-
trusted them; but on that particular
afternoon she was restless and had to
talk to somebody. Diego looked like
a pirate and was quite as bad as he
looked; but the same might truthful-
ly be said about most, of the bandits;
and he was at least a human being
and had a tongue. Stella did not real-
ize how soon and how strenuously she
and Diego were to come to an open
clash.
Night came at last; and the bandits
started, escorting the wagons with
the rifles and moving with extra care
because of the few—very few—army
patrols that were strung along the
border.
However, nothing went wrong. The
whole plan worked out so smoothly
that Stella felt rather disappointed.
Unseen, the whole party crossed the
river and delivered the guns to the
Mexicans who were awaiting them. In
return they received two wagonloads
of “baled hay,” each bale of which
contained four dozen bottles of Mexi-
can whisky. And then, without cere-
mony they turned back, recrossed the
river, and trotted off to the J/B
ranch, where a hot breakfast awaited
them.
The outlaws ate swiftly and raven-
ously and soon finished. One by one
they left the table to make ready for
their return to the Roost. Several
times Stella started to go, but each
time Wade managed to delay her by
some pretext until only he and she
were left. As the last man went, out
of the room Wade called to him to
tell Diego to saddle his and Bob’s
horses and hring them around.

Mr. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to prac-
tical home building, for the readers of
this paper. On account of his wide
experience as editor, author and man-
ufacturer, he is, without doubt, the
highest authority on all these sub-
jects. Address all inquiries to William
A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue,
Chicago, 111., and only inclose two-cent

In planning to build a new home it
is always well to take into considera-
tion the site upon which it is to be
built. As it will be noted from the
illustration this house was built on
ground considerably higher than the
road near which it stands. For this
reason there has been an opportunity
to build a most artistic bowlder fence
and .in harmony with it the porch
walls and pillars which support the
porch roof are constructed of the same
materials. A glance at the picture
will show what an artistic home re-
sulted from taking advantage of these
conditions.
The house is rather large, contain-
ing eight rooms, five of which are bed-
rooms on the second floor. Besides
the three usual rooms on the first floor
there is a large washroom, a good-
sized stair hall, a pantry, a breakfast
nook off the-kitchen and a back porch.
The size of the home is 24 feet by
43 feet, exclusive of the porch pro-
jection. The porch is 10 feet deep and
20 feet long with a balcony built on
a portion of the roof. It is a four-
gable home of frame construction set
on a concrete foundation. The floor
plans show the arrangement of the
rooms and their sizes. The living
room is especially attractive, being 23
feet long and 13 feet wide with an
open fireplace at one end.
Each of the bedrooms is provided

with a closet and all open off a cen-
ter hall. The bathroom is conven-
iently located. In addition to the floor
plans an architect’s cross-section of
this home is reproduced which shows
some of the details of construction
and also specfies some of the materials
that are to be used.
This brief description, together with
the floor plans, the cross-section and
the exterior view of the home will
give an idea of the several good fea-
tures of this design. The house Is
not too large, yet exceptionally good
use has been made of the room in it.
The layout of the rooms on the first
floor is such that the housekeeper can
do her work without unnecessary la-
bor. At the same time the rooms are
of a size which will accommodate a
good-sized family.
The exterior of the house is one of
which the owner will be proud.
Rigid Asbestos Roofing
Durable and Fireproof
Building authorities agree that the
roofing material that gives permanent
satisfaction in service year after year
without costing one cent for mainte-
nance is a cheaper roof, when figured
on a cost-p.er-year bqsis, than one
whose initial cost is considerably low-
er but which requires periodical paint-
ing or replacement For a roof that
demands attention and costly repairs
quickly runs up maintenance bills that
more than overshadow the cost of a
fi'rst-cost-last-cost roof.
The first cost of rigid asbestos shin-
gles is the last cost, for they never
need paint or repairs and they actual
ly toughen with age.
Rigid asbestos shingles are a combi-
nation of asbestos rock fiber and port-
land cement formed under great hy-
draulic pressure. They can be easily
applied by any carpenter or builder.
The holes are already punched in each
shingle.
Metal Lath Facilitates
Good Tile Work in Bath
The decorative wonders of modern
tile work are made possible at mod-
erate cost today by the strength and
workability of metal lath, which give
a secure base for the cement tile bed
in any type of construction. Coves,
arches and the soffits of dormers may
be lined with tile by this means, as
metal lath will conform itself to any
interior surface, no matter how in-
volved its angles and curves.
Built-in bath accessories are easily
installed in the wall backed with
metal lath, the cement bed holding
them securely in place.
A new note in bathroom decoration,
the placing of tub and lavatory partly
or wholly in recesses of the correct
size, is made much more easy of ac-
complishment with metal lath, since
the recesses may easily be formed
with great economy of space. Left-
over space may be given to small
closets, for cabinets, for bath linen
and other accessories.
Adequate Lighting
The first essential in room comfort
nowadays is the provision for a suffi-
cient amount of light for all occasions
and enough outlets to permit the at-
tachment of occasional electric appli-
ances at points desired. This is only
achieved in a home with adequate
wiring installation, more and more
coming to be accepted as standard In
the modern dwelling.
Copper Nails
Nails made of hand-wrought cop-
per, used in the construction of the
old filtration plant of the Ludlow res-
ervoir in Massachusetts in 1874, were
discovered recently by workmen there.
A press dispatch from Springfield
states that “the nails were almost
like new despite their half century of
use.”

Failed in Attempt to
Reach Pole by Balloon
The first attempt at Arctic explora-
tion by air, made in 1897, ended dis-
astrously. The Swedish balloonist, S.
A. Andree, and two companions, set out
for the North pole in a large free bal-
loon. The start was made from Danes
island, in the north of Spitzbergen, on
July 11, 1897. Five tons of supplies
were carried. In an hour the balloon
was out of sight. That night, seven
and a half hours later, a message
buoy, found later, was dropped. This
was the last trace of the expedition,
although years afterward various un-
confirmed rumors of finding the bal-
loon have come out of the Arctic re-
gions of Siberia and Canada.
Kings Collect Coins
That kings are collectors of rare
coins has been revealed in connection
with work done by the king of Italy in
publishing a series of books on the
coins of Italy. His personal collection
of 100,000 specimens is the largest In
the world. King George of England
also has a large collection, and other
rulers are said to have taken a keen
Interest in the subject.

that others knew long ago.
