Augustus Reeves lingered on the church steps talking with Mr. Evans, the minister, longer than Ezra Hardy liad expected him to. The deacon had seemed Quite impatient to get away from the sanctuary when he had hoped to have Jane's presence, as well as her father's company on the way home. Now he recalled many details of parish business that he wished to discuss with his pastor. At last Ezra made a move as If to start home ward. "I must be going," he remarked, "for Maria'll be wondering what's happened to me." "All right, I'll walk along with you," Augustus Reeves said. He told the minister good-night and fell into step beside Ezra.

DESIGN. This machine was designed to satisfy the demand for a power washer, for use on the farm, for use in the city home where real sanitary conditions-are desired and can be had only by home washing j which prevents contamination with disease-laden clothes of others, and for use by tlie smaller hotels. It Is the most advanced type of platform washer 011 the market and the only washer built equipped with a wringer which hoth slides and swing*. It is built for use with either electric motor or gasoline engine. , SWINGING AND SLIDING WRINGER, AVringer built specially for power washer requirements, ball bearing, extra high grade rolls and quick-release lever. Mounted on extra heavy Iron frame which moves easily from tub to end of platform. Can be swung to any position desired serves one to six tubs. Wrings from washer to rinse tub—thence to bluing and can then be reversed and wash wrung into basket. While wringing, another batch of clothes Is being cleansed in the machine each operation being independent of the other. Will wash and w>4hg at the same time. MOTOR. One-quarter horse power—specially designed to meet power washer requirements. They are specially wound to overcome momentary overload, sometimes caused by crowding the wringer. They are the best that brains and money can produce. Tin. Highest grade Louisiana Red Cypress, tongued and grooved and bound together with non-rust steel hoops. Drained from bottom by metal faucet. Double lid, corrugated on under side. Sides and bottom deeply corrugated and sanded to a glass-like smoothness. Not ■ holt, Kcrew or noil through tuh within the water line. ADJUSTABLE DOLLY OR AGITATOR. Cross arm wood dolly the greatest of suds makers; hung low in tub. Automatically adjusts itself to any load—will wash one garment or a tub full. Dolly post has swivel knob above lid which permits raising the dolly while machine is in motion giving a new hold on the clothes. This facilitates washing and pre vents clothes bunching 111 the tub. No Iron projects through the dolly <« catch, tear or soli tlie clothes. SHAFTING, GUARS AND CLUTCH. Heavy, cold rolled steel shaft ing running in long, metal bearings.. Washing mechanism and wrinirer arc thrown in and out of operation by a clutch—gives operator absolute control at all times. All gears permanently in mesh—ran not strip or chip. Cut from blanks, cost more than cast genrs—worth more SAFE TO OPERATE. All heavy parts beneath platform. No heavv parts on lid. All other working parts enclosed. Lid is locked while washer is in operation, making access to tub impossible without turning lever which throws clutch stopping machine; assures operator against aeelii'en/ Lid can be raised without disconnecting any of the parts.

I Jane that perhaps I'd stop in for a little call, you know." he re marked, "so she may be expecting me." His companion was conscious of a vague resentment of this sugges tion. His mind was not analytical enough for him to understand this feeling. He wondered why he felt as he did and why he did not really like Augustus thoroughly. He re membered that, even as boy, "Gils'" had never been a favorite of his. Somehow ho had not quite trusted him even then. Gus had always been self-satis fled and sure of himself. Well maybe that was because he had al ways been a success. His father's farm had been the model farm of the neighborhood, and when he died he left It to his only son. While still young, Augustus had been wise; enought to marry a rich girl who j had lived but a short year after her wedding day and had. in turn, left all her money to her husband.' Yes, success had come easy to this man. He had been widower now for ten years, und until lately had seemed to avoid the numerous girls in the neighborhood. Really it was proof of how at tractive Jane was, the father now reflected, that the man should seek her out. Then he remembered what Maria had said two hours ago. "But she don't love him," she had objected. Could she ever love him? the father asked himself. An (A as though he read this unspoken ques tion, the man at his side began to talk of himself and his plans—ten tatively, "as If," Ezra thought, trying to find out the lay of the land." Augustus Find Life Rather Lonely. "Do you know,' Mr. Hardy," he said, "I'm finding my life at the house up here on the hill pretty lonely? It's ten years since I lost my wife, and it's six years since ma died. For a while I got along pretty latel y I've begun to think I'm foolish to spend my days like I do." "Is that so?" his companion queried mildly. It appeared at the time the safest remark to make. ,j. ,7 Ye 9' the way I feel about It, Augustus continued. "And I've about made up my mind to think of marrying Ezra was no diplomat and he cud geled his brains in vain for some suitable reply to this speech. Then he fell back once more on his last 'lgfnal, but cautious response. Is that so?" he said again. But this time his sentence was ignored. Augustus Reeves was well launched on talk of himself, and as long as there was somebody to lis- ten to him nothing else mattered for the moment. He explained to Ezra that he has always led an ex emplary life; that he was a regular church member and church worker; that he gave largely to the church; that the minister had often told him that he considered him one of his most important, if not the most im portant, parishioner. He had a good ly sum laid aside in various banks Reeves went on. Any woman whom he ""Slit care to marry would be comfortably fixed." He paused as if for comment at last. I suppose she will," Ezra ob served. I've been, thinking," resumed Au gustus after a prolonged pause, that t d rather marry a real young woman, one I can teach my ways, rather than a woman near my own t ls ?'. i . Forty " flve is >' oun « in a. man but it s not in a woman." "No, it's not," Ezra admitted. He felt suddenly frightened. Was this man going to tell him that he would like to keep company with Jane? If so, what would her father say to iiim . The notion of Jane as Augus tus Hardy s wife did not seem so at tractive now to Ezra as it had a while ago. The idea of his child being taught and trained by Au gustus! "A young girl," the widower had resumed, "who married me would be safe from poverty. In these times, when money's tight and so many are looking for work, it's a great thing ! a person to be sure of having a good home and enough to keep them always. Ezra Switches Off to a Safer Topic. "Yes," assented Ezra. Reeves's statement contained a painful truth which he himself had often dwelt upon in his thoughts of Jane. But he could not trust himself to think of it now. "Have you noticed," he said irrele vantly, "how the corn is in Smith's field. Now, my corn's kinder backward this year. What do vou suppose ails it?" .The question was well chosen, for it gave Augustus Reeves a chance to express his opinion on the cul tivation of corn, thus sparing his listener further speech upon a deli cate topic. Edward Sanderson, seated on the Hardy porch, discerned the two men approaching far down the moonlit road, and he rose to his feet. "I must be going," he announced. "I have to catch an early train in the morning and here comes Miss Hardy's caller." He laughed, shook hands with his two hostesses, and took his departure. The girl turned impulsively to her mother. "Oh," she murmured, "this evening has been too nice to be spoiled by talking to a man who bores me. Just say to Mr. Reeves that I'm tired and have gone to my room won't you, dear " And, kissing her mother quick ly, she hurried into the house. Thus it came about that Augus tus Reeves, greeting Mrs. Hardv for Jane was told that the child had come home from church tired and had gone to bed. (To Be Continued.) Poe Reincarnated Seen at Colonial in Artistic Masterpiece—"The Raven" IIENRY B. WALTHALL, LIVING IMAGE OF AMERICA'S GREAT EST POET, re-enacts lattor's tragic life in most intensely fascinating photoplay of tlic ><Jar. "And the riven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is-dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er hint stream ing throws his shadow on the floor. And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted nevermore!" —From "The Raven," by Edgar Allan Poe. Thus Edgar Allan Poe, back in the early days of the last century, wrote and, in the end, gave to the world a poem which since has won for him recognition as America's greatest poet. "The Raven" is the title of the poem, and it is typical of that famous poet —a melancholy, weird collection of verses which truly indicates his moody and gloomy temperament. It is an epitome of Poe's lift. —a tragedy from beginning to end—and it reveals clearly the undying affection which he had for his lost wife. Warda Howard, who has played op posite Mr. Walthall in most of his Es .sanay successes, and who has won for herself a nationwide reputation as one of the greatest emotional actresses in motion pictures, was selected. In reality the task was not a diffi cult one, for Mr. Walthall, Miss How ard and Mr. Brabin were so obviously adapted to each other and to such a play as "The Raven" that it was merely a matter of agreeing on their selection. This was done, and they, with the assistance of other Essanay stars, have produced the masterpiece of the year—a photoplay which will go down in motion picture history as an unusual and daring accomplish ment. For photographic effects, Illusions', I richness and artistry of settings "The Raven" is without parallel.
