Jerry held up hor left hand nnd re garded Its rlnglH flnsorn Judicially, whllo Ardmoro, his heart rnclng hotly against nil records, watched hor, and with a particular covotousnoss his oyes studied that trlflo of a hand. Thon with a quick gesturo ho seized her hand and raised her gently to her feet. "Jorry!" ho cried. "From tho mo niunt you winked at tn t lmvn loved you. I should havo followed you round tho world until I found you. If you can marry a worthless wretch llko mo, if oh, Jorry!" Sho gently froed her hand and stepped to ono side, bending her head llko a bird that pauses alarmed, or uncertain of Its whoroabouts, glnnclng cautiously up and down tho creek. "Mr. Ardmoro," she said, "you may not ho nwaro thnt when you nuked mo to bo your wife and thnt, I tako It, was your Intention you woro stand ing In South Carolina, whllo I stood with both foot on tho aacrcd soil of tho Old North Stato.

On account of his wldo expe rience as ISdltnr, Author and Manufnc liiiri, ho Is, without doubt, th highest authority on all theso subjects. Address all Inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 1M Fifth Ave., Chicago, 111., and only cm lose two-cent stamp for roplJ'.. One of the principal objections to tho uso of concreto In building con struction Is tho fact thnt tho finished surface is rough and no attempt Is mado to givo a finish to tho surface, either in the molds or after their re moval. This Is probably duo to an Idoa that interfering with tho surface would destroy tho skin of the concrete and deteriorate its usefulness. i Two methods nro now being suc cessfully employed, giving a finish to concreto either In molded blocks, or monolithic construction In place. The flr3t of these methods Is to apply fresh granlto to tho face of tho mold, which gives It all tho finish and durability of granite ashlar. This finishing ma terlal Is ground and sifted Into sev eral sizes, several of which aro em ployed in making tho facing mixture, on tho samo principal as mixing ag gregates so as to fill tho voids. Tho best proportion Is ono of coment to throo of aggregate of different sizes. A small quantity of hydratcd Hmo Is added, which on account of Its fine ness nets as a waterproofing, llkowlso proventlng tho block from sticking to tho mold. Tho lDgrodlents are thor oughly mlxpd dry. The faco of the mold Is wiped clean and dry. A thin layer of almost dry spar mixed with a little cement mixed with a little hydrated lime Is spread on the plate. On top of this a half-inch of ordinary mixture Is spread, thon a layer of rich backing and finally, the ordinary block mixture, which should be tamped hard.' The above method is tho ono used when a facedown concreto block ma chine isuscd, while tho reverso proc ess is used with a face-up machine In this caso the grit or feldspar is sifted dry on tho wet cement. The spar may bo pressed into the ourfaco by running a roller over It. After It has set tho surface Is washed with a solution of ono part of murlntlc acid to eight of water to remove any stains. Thon it Is washed with clean wntor to romove traces of tho acid. In mono lithic construction tho Bides of the forms aro plastered with about a half inch of the facing material beforo tho filling Is plnced. Tho second method of finishing con crete surfaces is to give them an ash-lar-llko appearnnco by polishing tho surfneo with carborundum bricks and water. This method is appllcablo to monolithic concreto, as tho molds in which It Is formed arc built up of boards, which havo a tendency to warp and aro moro or loss rough. In this case, the lnldo of tho mold which FJrst Floor Plan. forms the faco of the wall Is plas tered with n rich material. Tho con crete which Is to form the back of tho wall Is filled in nnd allowed to Bet twenty-four hours. Tho molds nro re moved and tho concroto Is rubbed down with carborundum bricks. This gives n boautlful polish. Hero Ih displayed tho design of n houso that could bo finished In this manner nt no very great expense Tho concroto walls could bo carried to tho second floor nnd tho balanco of tho Btructuro could bo of framo construc tion. Tho houso Ih twenty-nlno feet wldo and twenty-six feet six Inches long, exclusive of tho porch. Tho porch of thls house extends partly across tho front and around tho side, assuring shade at almost any tlmo of tho day. Ono enters tho house Into n largo reception hall nnd directly nhond Is tho flno living room, which is woll lighted. A largo dining room Is at tho right and directly back Is tho kitchen. The kitchen is entorcd through an cnclosod porch nnd direct ly avallablo Is a good-slzcd pantry. On tho socoud floor nro two bed rooms undor tho gables. A bathroom Is also provided tor, with a dormer window In front. 5 ' H , i I This house, if finished In tho man ner described, will look well if built Second Floor Plan. on a cornor lot, as it will present an exceptionally fine appearance. It may also be added that If concrete Is used in construction the houso will bo wnrmer In winter and much cooler In summer than it would bo if built en tirely of frame. TURNED PROSPERITY TO RUIN March of Rabbit Through Australia Like That of Devastating Army Whole Crops Were Destroyed. Tho campaign ngalnst tho rabbit In Australia has had all tho excitement and much of tho misery of a great war. Tho march inland of the rodent Introduced by the colonists in the early days to mako their surroundings more. home-like has been llko that of a devastating army. Smiling prosperity was turned into black ruin. Whero there has been green pastures and bleating sheep thero was a baro and dusty plain. In some places tho rodents were so thick that you could hardly walk In the Sclds without treading upon them. The carcasses of dead rabbits poisoned tho air, and caused a plague of flies, which passed from them to the sheep, causing among them a serious dis ease. Panic measures were at first tried to Btem tho tide. Wholesale poison ing with pollard baits, dosed with strychnino or phosphorous, was tho first expedient. It destroyed much of tho native bird life, devastated tho natural faunn, and left tho rabbit still In triumphant possession. A great reward was then offered by the Australian government for a remedy. No result came, and the rabbit still ato his way into tho heart of tho country. But time brought Bomo knowledge of how to deal with him. It was reasoned out that within a limited area the rabbit could bo coped with. At onco thero camo a demand for rabbit-proof fencing, and over mllea and miles of inland country began to stretch tho net of fences. Tho best of tho pastoral lands were thus In closed, and within lnclosurcs of 10,000 ncrcB or bo tho rabbit, it was found, could bo exterminated. Hia natural cover was cleared away, and vigorous poisoning or trapping gradually killed him off. Even Better. A farmer from Kerry went to the adjoining county of Limerick, whoro the land Is richer, to look for a farm. Ho Bnw ono which he thought would suit him. but could not agree with tho landlord as to tho ront. "Got away," cried the landlord, nngrlly, nt last. "This land Is not llko your miserable Kerry land, whoro a mountnln sheep can hardly get enough to cnt. Tho grass grows hore so fast and so high that If you left a heifer out In the field thoro at night, you would scarcely find her lu the morning."

One day a squall answered that ques tion for me. It was a hot and glitter ing day In tho tropics, and In the clear sky overhead a black rain cloud ap peared all of a sudden. Then out of empty space ovor a hundred sea birds camo darting from every direction. Thoy got under tho rain cloud, and waited there for about ten minutes, circling round and round, and when the rain began to fall thoy drank their fill. In tho tropics, where the great sea birds sail thousands of miles away from shore, they get their drinking water in that way. They smell out a storm a long way off; thoy travel a hundred mllos maybo to get under It, and they swallow onough raindrops to keep them going. Now York Trib une. I Forestalled. District Attorney J.
