12 ■ HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel How to Select a Refrigerator Only when oue has hud the annoy iug experience of making a poor re frigerator Mo" ciui they realize the necessity of usiug utmost caution in selecting a new one. This is one article of daily use where the old adage, "tlie best is the cheap est" is surely well applied. If not well constructed the wooden eases will warp and this will throw the lining out of place and insulation and circulation are interfered with. A? cold air is heavier than hot air it naturally falls, so that in most re frigerators the ice chamber is placed above the storage space. Now this ehamlvr should be seamless and be made with rounded corners to permit it being easily cleaned, for on the clean liness of the box rests the health of the j'amily. The ice chamber should be large: there is no economy in buying ice in smallest quantities: you lose in weight of iee and cannot keep food at proper temperature. Beside this it is an an noyance to have the ice chamber re filled every day. It is much better to have a box that will hold fifty, seventy live or a hundred pounds of iee and then have it opened by the ice man but once or twice a week. The saving will be great. Another thing to give particular at tention to is the drip pipe. There must be no connection between this and the food compartment and it should be made so that it can be removed and cleaned when clogged. Rightly selected and carefully man aged the household refrigerator is an economical investment, for one can buy perishable foods in large quantities and not have them spoil before they are used.

This is accom plishel by not opening the doors of the box uuless absolutely necessary, by ! using a parchment paper iee blanket to protect the ice from coutact with the air and bv having the refrigerator it ' self iti a cool place. This last advice mav seem superfluous, but nevertheless I careless persons sometimes place the re frigerator very near the kitchen stove or have it on a sunny porch. If the porch is cool this is uot a bad place for it. but changing weather will soon ruin almost auv box.

IRLSpOTOW JLLUSTRATIONS^p r PAY' WALTERS cc*Y*,>afT er cow*™ CONTINUED In a tone ditto rent from the light ' and mocking one that he had hitherto used to the Arab, Tremont began to ask a dozer questions severely, and In his answer* to the young French man. Hammet Abou began to make a favorable Impression on every one save the Marquise d'Esclignac, who did not understand htm. There was 1 a huge bamboo chair on a dais un der a Chinese pagoda, and the Mar quise d'Esclignac took the chair and sat upright as on a throne. Mlml. who had just been fed. came tn tinkling her little bells and fawned at the sandals on Hammet Abou's bare feet. After talking with the native. Tre mont said to his friends: "This man says that if he joins a Jewish caravan, which leaves here to- I morrow at sundown, he will be taken with these men and leave the city without suspicion, but he must share the expenses of the whole caravan. I The expedition will not be without I danger; it must be entered Into with great subtlety. He Is either." said Tremont. "an Impostor or a remark able man." "He Is an Impostor, of course," murmured the Marquise d'Esclignac. "Come here, Mlml." Tremont went on: "Further he wtll not disclose to us. He has evidently some carefully laid plan for rescuing Sabron." j There was a pause. Hammet Abou. I his hands folded peacefully across his | breast, waited. Julia Redmond wait ed. The Comtesse de la Maine, In | her pretty voice, asked quickly: "But, mes amis, there is a man's life at stake! Why do we stand here talking in the antechamber? Evident I ly the war office has done all It can | for the Capltaine de Sabron. But they | have not found htm. Whether this ! fellow is crazy or not. he has a won derful hypothesis." A brilliant look of gratitude crossed Julia Redmond's face. She glanced at the Comtesse de la Maine. "Ah, she's got the heart!" she said to herself. "I knew It." She crossed the hall to the Comtesse de la Maine and slipped her arm in hers. "Has Monsieur de Sabron no near family?" "No." said the Marquise d'Esclig nac from her throne. "He is one of those unfamilied beings who. when they are once taken Into other hearts are all the dearer because of their orphaned state." Her tone was not unkind. It was affectionate. "N'ow. my good man." she said to Hammet Abou. in a language totally | incomprehensible to him, "money is no object in this question, but what will you do with Monsieur de Sabron If you find him? He may be an in i valid, and the ransom will be fabu lous." The Comtesse de la Maine felt the girl's arm in hers tremble. Hammet Abou answered none of these ques tions. for he did not understand them. He said quietly to Tremont: "The caravan starts tomorrow at sundown and there is much to do." Tremont stood pulling his mus tache. He looked boyish and charm ing. withal serious beyond his usual habit. His eyes wandered over to the corner where the two women stood to gether. "I intend to go with yon. Hammet Abou." said he slowly, "if it can be arranged. Otherwise this expedition does not interest me." Two women said: "Oh. heavens!" at once. Robert de Tremont heard the note | of anxiety in the younger voice alone. He glanced at the Comtesse de la ; Maine. "You are quite right, Madame." he said, "a man's life is at stake and we ; stand chaffing here. I know some- I thing of what the desert Is and what I the natives are. Sabron would be the first to go If it were a question of a brother officer." The Marquise d'Esclignac got down j from her throne, trembling. Her eyes ! were fixed upon her niece. "Julia," she began, and stopped. Madame de la Maine said nothing. "Robert, yon are my godson, and I forbid it. Your mother—" "■—ls one of the bravest women I ever knew." said her godson. "My I father was a soldier." Julia withdrew her arm from the Comtesse de la Maine as though to leave her free. "Then you two girls," said the Mar quise d'Esclignac, thoroughly Ameri can for a moment, "must forbid him to go." She fixed her eyes sternly upon her niece, with a glance of en treaty and reproach. Miss Redmond said in a firm voice: 'ln Monsieur de Tremont's case 1 should do exactly what he proposes." "But he Is risking his life," said the | Marquise d'Esclignac. "He is not even an intimate friend of Monsieur de Sa bron!" Tremont said, smiling: "You tell us that he has no broth er, marraine. Eh Men. I will pass as his brother." A thrill touched Julia Redmond's heart. She almoet loved him. If, as her aunt had said. Sabron had been out of the question . . . "Madame de la Maine," said the Marquise d'Esclignac, her hands shak ing, '1 appeal to you to divert this headstrong yonng man from his pur- i pose." The Comtesse de la Maine was the palest of the three women. She had been quietly looking at Tremont and now a smile crossed her lips that had I tears back of it—one of those beau- I tiful smiles that mean so much on I a woman o race, sne was tne oniy , one of tho three who had not vet , spoken. Tremont was waiting for her. , Hammet Abou. with whom he had I' been In earnest conversation, was an swering hia further questions. Tho Marquise d'Kscllgnac shrugged, threw up her hnnds as though she gave up all questions of romance, rescue and disappointed lore and foolish girls, and walked out thoroughly wretched, . Miml tinkling at hor heels. The Com tesse de la Maine aaid to Julia: "Ma chere. what were the words of the English song you sang last night —the song you told me was a sort of prayer. Tell me the words slowly, wiß you?" They walked out of the vestibule together, leaving Hammet Abou and Tremont alone. CHAPTER XXI. Master and Friend. Pltchoune, who might have beet, considered as one of the Infinitesimal atoms in the economy of the universe, ran over the sands away from his master. He was an infinitesimal dot on the desert's face. Ho was only a small Irish terrier In the heart of the Sahara. His little wiry body and his i color seemed to blend with the dust. His eyes were dimmed by hunger and j thirst and exhaustion, but there was the blood of a fighter In him and he _ w ■ '■ >i V * ■v» I I ! Hour After Hour Pitchoune Ran Across the Sahara. ! was a thoroughbred. Nevertheless, ! he was running away. It looked very much like it There was no one to comment on his treacher/; had there been, Pitchoune would not have run far. It was not an ordinary sight to see on the Sahara—a small Irish terrier going as fast as he could. Pitchoune ran with his nose to the ground. There were several trails for a dog to follow on that apparently un trodden page of desert history. Which one would he choose? Without a scent a dog doee nothing. His nos triis are his instinct. His devotion, his faithfulness, his intelligence, his heart—all come through his nose. A man's heart, they say, is In his stom ach—or in his pocket A dog's Is in his nostrils. If Pitchoune had chosen the wrong direction, this story would never have been written. Michette | did not give birth to tho sixth puppy. In tho stables of tho garrison, for I nothing. Nor had Sabron saved him j on the night of the memorable dinner for nothing. With his nose flat to the sands Pit choune smelt to east and to west, to north and south, took a scent to the : east, decided on it —for what reason will never be told—and followed It Fatigue and hunger were forgotten as hour after hour Pitchoune ran across the Sahara. Mercifully, the sun had been clouded by the pre cursor of a windstorm. Tho air was almost cool. Mercifully, tho wind did not arise until tho little terrier had pursued his course to the end. There are occasions when an ani mal's intelligence surpasses tho hu man. When, toward evening of tho twelve hours that It had taken him to reach a certain point, ho came to a settlement of mud huts on the bor ders of an oasis, he was pretty nearly at tho end of his strength. The oasis was the only sign of life in five hun dred miles. There was very little left In his small body. He lay down, pant ing, but his bright spirit was unwill ing just then to leave his form and hovered near him. In the religion of Tatman dogs alone have souls. Pitchoune panted and dragged him self to a pool of water around which the green palms grew, and he drank and drank. Then tho little desert wayfarer hid himself in the bushes and slept till morning. All night he was racked with convulsive twitches, ■ but he slept and in his dreams he ; killed a young chicken and ate it. In HOTEL IROQUOIS South Carolina Avenue Beach ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.

This was done to induce consumers to store coal in their cellars during the summer months. Tho buying of coal occasioned by this re duction enables the operators to produce coal during tho warm months when other wise there would be no demand. Should no coal be purchased during the summer it would bo impossible to fill all or ders received in cold weather. Besides, should all coal be shipped in winter it. would be very inferior quality owing to the little time given to the preparation. This reduction is for your benefit, are you taking advantage of it?
