i?sei dj> <ls a bsts as rag i dad 1 § — g By EONA S. KNAPP. <<£>. 1)21, by McClure N«wnpup«r Syndicate.) Mr. Beebe was excited. 1 saw that the instant i let him in, but he only waved u pebble at me und dashed down the hall tu Dad's refuge. I groaned inwardly, because Duda so tired that he barks worse thun ever, lie's trying to euni enough overtime tu buy us ull new summer togs, so he keeps bringing home work from tilt* office. I weht back to the sitting room where Ed und Gabe were studying, und little Ada petting her kitten. We I could bear Mr. Beebe roaring about something, and Dad's barked replies. Ada began to cry with fright, so I had to take her right to bed. Both men went to ,the sitting room and had a scene with the boys before Mr. Beebe slamtned out. “He said we broke his. parlor window," cried Ed, choking with wrath. "After we’d promised Dad to stop using our slingshots! Mr. Beebe would not believe us, but Dad did, and Dud wouldn’t pay for bls old window,” declared Gabriel. The window got broken Tuesday afternoon, and Monday night the boys were forbidden slingshots. Mr. Beebe’s own sons were in their parlor a' the time. Elcitable Mr. Beebe hated like poison to part with a dollar, and his sick wife was in Colorado, •so could not calm him down. Somebody broke the window; the shot came from our (direction; hence the rumpus. "He said his boys shouldn't speak to j us nor wo to them until we confessed," ■ groaned Ed. “And we live next door and play to- : gether always and go to school together,” lamented Gabriel. “Dad said speak to ’em at school; the whole town needn’t know about this one-sided squabble,” said Ed. “Jimminy,” exclaimed Gabriel, his face clearing, “I know how we can communicate.” “No written notes," I began. “Dad—” “Whistled ones,” interrupted Gabe. "There’s the list of words, 00 of ’em, we made at Flo’s party; words formed with letters used on the musical staff.” "Hurrah!” cried Ed, “we’ve all got nicknames that fit, and we can whistle at each other. Let’s type some more copies of that list” That night I had stockings to mend and bread to set, and Ada to look after. Besides, I couldn't tell one note from another by ear, though I've learned to play some by note. (The little ones had another mother who went when Ada came.) But 1 noticed my brothers began right off to whistle queer little snatches to each other. They understood, and Ada could tell what they said, though I couldn't. The new amusement seemed to entertain Ada at first, and I was so glad. She's always poorly in the spring. | Our boys went out in the back yard behind an evergreen Wednesday afternoon with their lists. Ed whistled something over and over. Gage and Abram Beebe, on the other side of the fence, began looking for the new bird. Gabriel whistled, but giggled, and our i neighbors spotted him. "What are those Dee chaps up to?" through the openjwindow I heard Gage say. "I don’t know,” returned Abram. Then an obliging breeze wafted copies of the list over the fence. All four boys laughed, and they whistled a lot back and forth. Well, the boys kept up their funny snatches of whistling and took great comfort in “communicating." Dad understood, and sometimes he grinned and sometimes he suddenly old and worried. That look came when Gage (who had chanced to witness the accident) whistled something that alI ways made Ada tremble and fly at me. Over and over Gage whistled ! that when Ada was In sight, and she fled to me and cried and cried! Nobody told me then what he said, but he was pleading, “Ada, Ada, face Dad Dee.” By Friday noon I decided to take Ada out of school. Saturday she lay on the lounge while I worked, and we watched Mr. Beebe gardening with his boys. He gives them everything that costs no money. Gage looked up, saw us, and whistled that queer message. Ada shut the window and trembled and cried so that 1 called our doctor. He said she had something on her mind and wouldn’t give her any medicine. I coaxed and coaxed, and then the truth came out. She'd wanted to try a slingshot; while the boys’ lay on the table before being destroyed she had tried “just once’ and hit the Beebe window. She dared not tell at first. Now Dad would whip her if she told; he hated deception. I Insisted Dad liked us despite his bark. Then I heard a quer little snort and there he stood. ’TH take a hand in this.” he barked, but he gathered her up gently. So I went to get his dinner. That night he took Ada over to tell Mr Beebe, then he paid for the window It hurt Dad that Ada was less afraid of Mr. Beebe than of him. Dad was thoughtful for days. Finally he announced that we couldn’t have so many togs if he worked less time; but could we be satisfied if he didn't? “We’d a sight rather have you, sir,” flashed Ed. “All right,” barked Dad. 111 take time to get acquainted with my fam- , I Uy " I

SIMPLICITY 111 CDLJNIM. HE Attractive Design for Nine-Room Modern House. SUN AND SLEEPING PORCHES Well Arranged Home for Family That l« Larger Than Average—-Unusual Type ot Colonial House That Will Please. By WILLIAM A. RADFORD Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FHEK OF I’OST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of bls wide experience us Editor. Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all Inquiries lo William A. Radford, No. 1827 Prairie avenue. Chicago. 111., and only Inclose two-cent stamp for reply. There is Just about sufficient time to plan that new home before spring, when building operations in most sections of the country begin. "Plan to huilti mid build from a plan” Is a sage Idt of advice among prole slonal builders and one which every prospective home owner may heed with profit. Planning the new home is an inter(sting experience. Every inomtvr of I he family Joins in and out of the mass of suggestions grow the plans from which the house will lie built, father wants a den, mother a sewlnff room, daughter a bedroom that will lie really liei own, and son has his ideas of what his room should lie.

interested, for the new home is going to be something that will mean comfort and satisfaction fori the family for many years to come. It is in connection with this stage of home acquisition that a warning is deemed necessary. While the family Is deciding what each member desires in the new home, there is danger that the. plans will eltluW be too elaborate or will not be practical. Mistakes are costly and easy to make, especially when those wjto are doing the planning have had no practical experience in building construction. Suggestions are good; in fact, the members of the family should and have a right to plan the house, but they should be guided by the advice of the architect, the contractor and the material dealer. These men are experienced, and are experts in building construction. Their advice is based on a practical knowledge and does not cost the owner a cent. By counseling with these experts, the plans as finally drawn will be reproduced exactly by the contractor

and It I* cert.'iln that there will be no f '.iring out and icliullilibg hr< i s-uiy during the course of construction. That is wliy it Is recommended that prospective hmue owners “plan tu build and build from a plan.” The home building suggestion given herewith Is an iinusuui type us colonial house. While the entrance door and terrace porch suggest the colonial style of architecture, at 11. st glance the lack of balance of the exterior appearance would lead the experienced to decide tiiat tills design is not u true colonial. But the flour plans that accompany the exterior view show tilUt It is a colonial, with additions, such ns the sun parlor in the corner at one end, witli the kitchen ut the buck. Tills home is good, especially if the family that is to occupy it is slightly larger than the average, or if the owner desires to luive plenty of additional bedrooms. The entrance hall is rather large and lias the stairs lending to the second floor running out of it. To the left and running the depth of the house is the living room, with the open (ire-place and book cases. The dotted lines on the plan indicate a beam ceiling, which may or may not be put Ip according to the desires of the owner. Tliis room is large, being 11 feet wide and 23 feet 0 inches long. It is well lighted, having windows at the front, on the side ami at the rear. Double doors lead to the dimng room, which also may lie reached worn the entrance hall. This room also Is large, 12 by 11 feet Between the dining room and kitchen is a breakfast nook und butler's pantry. The kitchen, a corner m, Is 11 by 12 feet and Is equipped with the modem built-in kitchen conveniences. At tlie right of the entrance hall, connected with it by a double glass opening, is u library, 12 by 7 feet 6 inches In size, while at the

; corner is the sun parlor, a room If feet 6 inches square. This is unusual | ly attractive, und will be found one oi the most popular rooms in the house ■ either in winter or summer. i On the second floor are shown font [ bedrooms, a good-sized sleeping porch, | a sewing room and two bathrooms., Three of the bedrooms are corner ■ rooms, while the sewing room Is In ths ■ center of the house at the front. The sleeping porch is connected with the larger of the bedrooms. This room is ■ exceptionally attractive, as It contains a fireplace, is larger, 14 by 15 feet, and i has a private bathroom. Variations of this plan may be se1 cured from the architect to suit the Ideas of the prospective builder and ' ids need of room. But taken as it la i it is a very attractive and popular ■ design. A speed boat has made the run from New York to Miami, Fla., in a little more than 47 hours, better time thun made by the fastest train.
