turns temporary profit into
permanent improvement
WHAT is there about
the home, the farm,
the business, that
I makes it a more valuable prop
erty to turn over to your children
than when you first got it? In
large measure the permanent
structural improvements and
additions you have made.
Wisdom argues to place a per
centage of yearly income in
construction that will increase
ultimate values. And for
strength, permanence, fire-safe
ness and economy no type of
construction equals concrete.
If you have any problem of
construction—if you desire
information on any phase of
building—the Atlas organi
zation is at your service,
either direct or through its
dealers.

“My Husband's Love”
Whal Happened Winn Madge
Brought the Mother Home.
A big awkward man with a kindly
face, who evidently was In charge of
the prisoners, shambled sheepishly
forward as the woman from across
the road sprang forward with her
wild query to me concerning her chil
dren, and put his hand on her shoul
der.
“Here! Here!" he said mildly.
“You mustn't bother this lady.”
She turned on him as might a wild
cat with fingers curved into claws.
“You gif me my babee you," she
screamed, and 1 hastily stepped be
tween her and the officer.
"She’s not responsible, officer," I
said in a low tone. “And I don’t mind
her holding on to me.”
His tense unhappy face relapsed.
"I won’t know what to do with
her, ma’am, and trfat’s a fact,” he
said. "This ain’t any place for a
woman—we hardly ever have one
here.”
"She has a little baby at home," I
went on, superfluously, “and I want
to take her to her child if only for a
little while.”
The big man looked alarmed.
"I’d like to oblige you, ma’am, but
I haln’t got no jooreesdeecshun”—he
rolled the word unctuously—"to let
her go.”
"Who has?” I asked, for I did not
know the name of the justice of the
peace to whom the young trooper in
the farm house had referred.
"Why! Lawyer Whinney put her
here—he's the J P. around these
parts. You might go over to see
him."
He gave me the directions for find
ing the lawyer's office and I turned to
the woman, who still held my dress.
"If you'll be quiet and not make
any trouble," J said, speaking slowly
and distinctly as to a child. "I'll try
to take you home for a little while
anyway.”
Madge Wins Her Release.
She released my dress Instantly.
"All right. I'll be good." she said
quietly, and I made the cynical men
tal note that both her vocabulary and
her comprehension of mine had In
creased miraculously in the few hours
since I last spoke to her across the
fence of her yard.
I drove directly to Lawyer Whln
ney'a office, and found him a kindly,
courteous man not particularly im
pressed by my secret diplomatic serv
ice badge, which I had to explain
to him, but perfectly willing to re
lease the woman temporarily, if I
would make myself personally re
sponsible for her.
"The man, of course, will have to
stay in custody," he said, “until he
is turned over to the federal officers,
but until they get here I see no rea
son for keeping the woman away from
her little children."
With his order in my hand, I aped
back to the "lockup" and with but
a minute's delay had the woman
wrapped up snugly in the heavy mo
tor robe—her clothing was pitifully
insufficient and her bare feet had over
them only the men's shoes which I
had noticed when I first saw her—
and was speeding back along the
road to the farm.
Bhe hardly waited for the motor to
■top when I turned into her yard Iks-|
fore »he leaped out and ran Into the
house. By the time I had reached
the room where I had left the children,
■he had the baby in her arms, the
other children were clinging to her
skirts and the air was thick with
teary ejaculations and exclamations.
At the table. Katie was efficiently
clearing away the dishes which had
held the bountiful supper she had
brought over, while Katherine was
trying to bring some semblance of
order into the tumbled belongings
of the family. The young trooper
was standing dejectedly by the win
dow looking In the direction of our
woodland.
"Gee!" he exclaimed despondently,
turning around to me. “That is what
it means to be the new man. I've
got to stay here until the federal offi
cers come and we can turn this stuff
over to them," he indicated the still
and the tubs of mash—"while my
buddy has the fun of going out and
getting that man."
"Did your comrade come back
here?" I asked. In surprise, for I had
passed no one I did not know on the
way to the village.
I showed him where the man got
out and the pillow you found, and
he beat It over Into the woodland.
And I've got to stay here. What am
I to do with this woman? She was
like a wild cat before. Does she
Btay here.
“Yes, but she’ll give you no trou
ble,” I asserted confidently, and step
ping close to the woman, I took her
by the shoulder.
“If you are quiet and make no
trouble, you can stay here," I said
sternly. “If you do not mind this
man I will take you back to Jail."
