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. You also have the means at hand

(to furnish many delightful frozen des
serts at small cost.
By watchfulness and care yon can
protect the ice and make it last much
longer than is usual. 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.
There is a very low priced, roomy
refrigerator sokl for use of summer cot
tagers and other persons who must econ
omize with their indoor room and this
oue is made of galvanized iron and
coated with a weatherproof dressing.

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.

! 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

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

the green palms grew, and he drank
and drank. Then tho little desert

and slept till morning. All night he

Why Mine Owners
Reduce Coal Prices
On April Ist it lias boon tho custom of tlio
mino owners for about 13 years to roducc the
price 50c per ton on anthracite coal, except
Pea and Buckwheat.
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?
