Then Harle quin laughed. , “A prince in disguise, our Scara mouch©!” said he. The frown melted "from Climene’s .brow. Resentment changed to be wilderment. “But who is she?” “His sister, of course,” said Harle quin, quite definitely. In the carriage Alin© was consider ing Andre-Louis with grave eyes, lips slightly compressed', and a tiny frown between her finely drawn eye brows. “You have taken to queer company, Andre,” was the first thing she said to him. “Or else I am mistaken in thinking that your companion was Mlle. Binet of the Theatre Feydau.” “You are not mistaken. But I had not imagined Mlle. Binet was so fa mous already.” “Oh, as to that . . .” mademoiselle shrugged. “It is simply that I at the play last night.” “You were at the Feydau night? And I never saw you?” “Were you there too?” “Was I there!” he cried. Then he ehecked, and abruptly changed his tone. “Oh, yes, I was there,” he said, as commonplace a3 he could, beset by a sudden reluctance to avow that he had so willingly descended to depths that she ’ must account un worthy. “I understand,” said she, and com pressed her lips a little more tightly. “But what do you understand?” << ; troupe.” “I have,” said he. He saw first incredulity, then con sternation, and lastly disgust over spread her face. “Of course,” said she, after a long pause, “that would have the advan tage of bringing you closer to your charmer.” “That was only one of the induce ments. There was another. Finding myself forced to choose between the stage and the gallows, I had the in credible weakness to prefer the for mer. Shall I stop the carriage and remove the contamination of my dis gusting person? Or shall I tell you how it happened?” “Tell me how it happened first: Then we will decide.” He told her how lie met the Binet Troupe, and how the men of the then by M. de La Tour d’Azyr, him self.”“Did not that help you to decide thi: marriage question?” “Dow could it? You don’t expect line to judge between men in matters Isuih m* these?” ' “If you cannot judge, it is that you • do not wi;-h to judge.” His tone be- • carne harsh. “Willfully you close your eyes to justice that might check the course of your unhealthy, unnatural ambition.” “I think I had better let you alight so that you may go back to practice virtue and honor with your theatre wench.” “If you must speak of her at all,” he interrupted hotly, “you’ll speak of her as my wife,” Amazement smothered her anger, Her pallor deepened. “My God!” she said, and looked at him in horror, And in horror she asked him present ly: “You are married—married to that—r?” “Not yet. But I shall be, soon. And let me tell you that this girl whom you visit with your ignorant contempt is as good and pure as you are, Aline. She has wit and talent which have placed her where Bhe is and shall carry her a deal farther. And she has the womanliness to be guided by natural instincts in the selection of her mate.” “You will descend this instant!” she told ’him fiercely. “That you should dare to make a comparison be tween me and that . . .” “And my wife-to-be,” he interrupt ed, before she could speak the in famous word. He opened the door for himself without waiting for the foot man, and leapt down. “My compli ments/’ said he, furiously, “to the assassin you are to marry.” He slam med the door. “Drive on,” he bade the coachman. He got back to the inn to find the company at table. Harlequin and Columbine had spread the tale of this prince in die • u se caught up into the chariot of a princess and carried off by her; and it was a tale that had lost nothing in the telling. Climene had been silent and thoughtful. Clearly her Scaramouch® must be vastly other than he had hitherto appeared, or else that groat lady and he would never have used such familiarity with each other. Imagining him no better than he was, Climene had made him her own. And now she was to receive the reward cf disini erested affection.

Avoid the Overadvertised, Harmful Destroyers; Fol low Simple but Effective Standard Methods, The moth which, we see—the miller which flies about during the spring end late summer or, In heated houses, most any time of the year—does not eat the clothing, but it lays eggs' which hatch in from five to ten day® and the ensuing larvae with their well de veloped jaws cause the destruction to our clothing, rug® and upholstery. There are several excellent methods of preventing this damage, and If care is taken at the right time there need be no loss of clothing or furnishings from moth attacks. Cleaning and Brushing 1. As a preliminary to any treat ment, clothing should be vigorously brushed or beaten and well sunned (if possible). The larvae and eggs of clothe® moths are very delicate and a thorough brushing or beating will either crush or remove them. In brush ing pay special attention to seams and pockets where dust and lint have col lected. It is always wise to have clothing dry cleaned before packing it away in chests for clothes moths seek out and thrive best upon soiled spots in cloth ing. After dry cleaning or thorough ly brushing, beating and sunning, wrap carefully and tightly in several thick nesses of newspapers or heavy wrap ping paper, making certain that the paper at the end of the bundle formed.' is so well bent back upon itself that no clothes moth can crawl into the bundle. Clothes moths will not eat through paper to reach clothing and tight wrapping makes a firm mass of clothing which in itself is a protection. If clothing is thoroughly cleaned, brushed and wrapped, it can be left oil closet shelves or elsewhere without danger of becoming infested so long as the paper wrapping remains urn- broken.

Fumigation with carbon disulphid la a most effective treatment. Cloth-1 ing should be thoroughly brushed, as- described above, and then packed in a tight trunk or chest and fumigated (out of doors).

A saucer is a ne,w deal. ■ placed on top of the clothing and the carbon disulphid is poured into it. The ■ carbon disulphil evaporates, forming a gas that sinks down into the clothing and kills the moths'. Several treat ments may be needed during a summer If the trunk or chest is not tight, though one is sufficient if the trunk is so tight that moths cannot get in from the outside1. The odor or carbon disulphid Is very foul, but soon disap pears and does not. injure fabrics. Car bon disulphid can be purchaser at any drug store. The gas formed is heavier ■ than air and must be kept away from; fire itn all forms, the same as gasoline'. How to Use Moth Balls 3. Another excellent method of pro tecting clothing is the liberal use of naphthalene in the form of moth balls ! or flakes. In tight chest or trunks one1 pound1 of naphthalene well distributed among the clothes, will kill all moths', their eggs and larvae. Well grown larvae are killed with, difficulty by naphthalene, and1 so It is necessary to attend to .the brushing of clothing be fore placing in chest. It must be re membered that unless the trunk is very tight the fumes of the naphtha lene will escape and not kill the moth. Naphthalene scattered about bureau drawers may keep moths a way to some ■ extent, but will not kill them. It can' be recommended as a killing agent only when Inclosed with clothing in a tight container. Cedar Chests The odor emanating from a cedar chest will not lei'll clothes moths, their eggs or larvae. The odor does have, however, a repellent effect on the moths and if everything is free from the eggs and larvae when placed in the chest it will be protected from the moths and remain undamaged, appar ently, for long periods of time. Cold Storage 4. The best method of protection and the one now commonly adopted by dealers in carpets', furs, etc., is cold storage. In all large towns any one can avail himself of the means by pat-j ronilzing storage companies, and safety i will be guaranteed.

OF CANADA LIMITED Hamilton, Ontario MOST MILES PER DOLLAR Jlreitotie The value of the white line is gen erally acknowledged to be consider able, Its use has, indeed, reduced a certain type of road risk. It Is an obvious exhortation to do the right thing; and its adoption is rapidly be coming. wider In town and country, ac cording to a correspondend in the Lon don Times auto- number. Psychology plays an Important part tn the matter. A white line, suggests to drivers that the side of'the road round the corner is clear, and that in consequence a reasonable speed can be safely maintained; The necessity for accurate marking is apparent, for if a line is badly laid and a driver finds he is compelled to run over it his faith in the usefulness' of the line will be diminished. Recurring experience' of this sort will scon lead to disregard of the line. Again, if correctness of the line is not observed, it may lead; to faulty cornering, which is already an unpleasant and prominent tend* ency of the inexperienced and incoh- Biderate motorist. Standing within .& White line area should be made an of fence, for it 'is- 'dearly of importance that such a part of the road should be kept aS' clear as possible. : Other considerations- of its use relate to arresting vehicles) in areas where there is police-controHed traffic and guiding lines. In the former case the white line is proving of considerable value in London, as it tends1 to pte vent. drivers from encroaching on space which is of definite value ’to cross-traffic. Guiding lines are, of course, of ’great service as directional signal® where one-way or round-about systems are employed. It is essential that the white lines should be per manent and visible by night as well as by day. Finality has not been reached in the. matter, but satisfactory progress has been made. Some lines are composed of aluminium reinforced with concrete and laid among wooden blocks'. Again, guiding lines -are in use Vt'hich are composed of white fire clay peg® driven into the wooden block® in consecutive a'ows of three, dlh^pegs being ^eijgqreed with steel, cylinder® to withstand heavy traffic? This method has the double advantages that the line is to a large extent self cleaning, and in its installation road disturbance is reduced to a minimum. High Concrete Kerbs A good deal ha® been written, and with reason, against the use cf the latest pattern of high concrete kerb. A kerb serve® two useful purposes. One is to keep the roadway from spreading, and the other to protect pedestrian®. It would seem, however, that the employment of high kerbs, vertical throughout their height, is being exaggerated), and that while there is- little real need for them in the form in which 'they are being laid down throughout the country, at the present time, they are a possible source of danger rather than of in creased safety. There are occasions, and they may well arise where Loot paths are rarely used', when a driver must mount the kerb if he is to avoid a smash. It may be that he gets pinched owing to some other vehicle allowing Insufficient space'. Were the top of the kerb bevelled, lie would be able, in many emergencies, to get temporarily on to the footpath. With the high vertical concrete kerb it is almost impossible to mount the foot path, these have cases been burnt to death—show® that the question Is a serious one and should be given full consideration by the authorities. High kerbs cost money, and it is doubtful whether there i€ any real advantage in the height at present being used to outweigh the drawbacks.
