Rowena considered the ideal plan for them to tea? along at a high rate of speed, stopping for nothing until they reached the Rocky Mountains. And Peter didnt’ agree with her. Peter's idea was to drive along at a fair speed. He said that if they tore furiously along over roais, good and bda, through boiling heat and chill ing rain, they would reach a point of interest, tired, cross and worn out, hence unable to turn out the high- class work that Rackruff had a right to expect. Rowena said that for her part she alwayls worked best under pressure, that somthing in her responded strongly to hard driving, and that she enjoyed W’orking when she was breathless, almost panting with haste. Peter, in that annoyingly gentle, al most disinerestedly lazy voice of his, said he didn’t; said he couldn’t work at all unles.s he had a breathful of fresh air in his lungs and quiet com fort In his heart. “And of course, ” said Rowena cut tingly. "we will do_ it your way. Nat urally you think' good pictures are the most important part of the whole business.” "Of course,” said Peer Imply. Rowena was speechless with rage. She was glad she had always hated artists anyhow, it matle hating Pater now so much more natural. He was telling himself that he was very glad; there aJone, "But 5:ou said I had to sit in the rumble seat! "Well, I've changed my mind. You see, I thought then that Peter and I would want to talk business and dis cuss our plans .and I never dreamed that every time I made a suggestion it would just lead to bitter argument.” "'Why, I didn' argue with you,” pro tested Peter. "I'd much rather sit in the rimable seat where I can think my thoughts in peace and not have my most inno cent lideas contradicted before they are out of my mouth,” continued Row- ena. "Why, I wasn't contradicting you,” protested Peter. But Rowena insisted, so Peter helped Bobby gently out of the rumble seat and was just turning to give Rowena a hand when he saw hat she was already in, sitting very erect, chin high and eyes extremly blue. So he gotin be hind th wheel and they startd off again. Rowena settled back in the rum ble seat with a malicious little gin. After listening to Bobby’s chatter about Carter for an hour, she leaned forward. "Do you mind if I close. this win dow?” she asked sweetly. ’"I’m try ing to think out the plot to a story and I must have perfect silence to decide whether I want to have Bobby CaTt»r commit the murder or be committed.” * She seemed to take a morbid pleas- Thse modern log houses are not confined to one class of citizens. Log homes of interest are owned by W. H. Matthews, realtor, near Greens boro; I. T. 'Valentine lawyer ne:ir Spring Hope; a cotton manufactuR-r in the town of Rosemary; while many others are owned by farmers, who are living out away from the smoke and heat of the city. ; Modern log construction is rapid-' ly being adopted in the building of club houses, service stations and ’ camps. At the Penn Farm, neap j Reidsville, we find a large number of farm buildings of the rustic log type. I Pooled pine logs have been used in' the majority of the above class of buildings. The second growth Short- ' leaf pine of the Piedmont section is es-1 pecially adapted for log construction' where smooth logs of uniform size and: little tapers are required. In the period just ahead farmers should find: a market for a considerable quantity ' of choice poles for this type of work, For house construction logs ranging: from 6 to 9 inches diameter are preferable, while for the building of . garages and other small buildings poles as small as 4 to 5 Inches may be used.
