It added the final teach of misery to know that Hiram and the mothers were enjoying that warnth and luxury in •ignorance of her extremity.

With one arra aroised I. r woist, the other hand under her e' -bow, Hastings did his best to rapport her, but her ankles repeatedly turned under her ae they felt their way over the loose stores cf the Warier bed in the direc- tion of the path. Once on this, the going was less diff rult, bot Ruth's censr'icu.ness of her own chaustion became more -acute. She nal never been so achingly cold, so draggingly tired --nobody had. Her limbs almost re- fused to move against the slogging weight of her wet garments. Then faintly, more clearly, decided- ly, the beat of horses' hoofs reached them. "C'omin • up, too, by the gait," said Hastings excitedly. . Releasing her, he put his ha trumpet -wise p ods trampet tsn.e to his mouth ani gave a great shout. At once an answering halloo in the praetieed voice of a mountaineer. Ruth had holed it would be Hiram, but this was no time to choose among rescuers. ,Vith renewed strength she started to- ward the sound. At the very end of the road, -indeed, as they approached, they saw the me - /Ines of the horses by the light of a lantern held between the driver's knees. Coming toward them up the path another lantern swung in the hold of a man. His step was hastier than usual, hat it was familiar. It was mere than familiar. With a ery and an access of energy whiels would have seemed impossible a few minutes before, Ruthbroke from Hastings and flung herself upon the' hurrying figure. "Iiiram!" she cried. The name stood for all that waa dear and sheltered and safe. Hiiani s n'ght arm went protectingly round her. The other held the lantern carefully clear of the dripping figure. "I thought you might be in trouble," he said. "Better get started for hone before you talk." At the buckboard's side he handed the lantern to the driver. "Cover both lights for a min - tate!" he ordered. As the man obeyed, Tie whispered to Ruth. "Take off that wet slates i'ee got a steamer rug #fere ,i In a moment she was wrapped with a •het -water bottle in the rug, and incited up on the back seat. "Lights again!" He halted the driver as he gathered up the reine, sand, unscrewing a thermos bottle, he poured a white cupful and held it to tbo girl's lips. It was hot milk.

'But jump in. You'll find room in the middle seat if you'care to share it with some pickaxes and the first - I aid kit." ."Thunk you," replied Hastings stiff- ly. "I prefer to walk, Good night, Miss Gootinow! Good night, Babbitt!" At first Ruth was too exhausted to da anything but enjoy the stealing warmth of hot milk inside, and the hot-water bag and Hiram's arm out- side, but as the gentle stimulant took dere and the comfort spread, she fatted voice to tell of the adventure. "I suppose our mothers are dread- fully worried," she finished. "Worried? Oh, no -they aren't ex- pecting you yet, I was the worried one. All through the drive I felt un- easy. Hastings is a handsome fellow maybe I was jealous." Hiram laugh- ed unnaturally. "Silty!" Ruth flouted the idea, but i Yt gave her a deep ,inward satisfation. After an interval the man resumed; - "And it struck nye that he'd be just foolhardy enough to take you into the glacier. At the livery office they told me that the watchman was sick. Bo I left word that I had an errand that alight make me late to dinner, routed the old fellow out, got these things to- gether, and started up here." • "How exactly like you, dear, thoughtful boy!" she murmured. Then her voice grew tragic, but she kept it low that the men on the front seat night not overhear. "And while you were coming to the rescue, Lwas sit- ting on his lap to keep warm. It was horrible. If anything could have been worse, it would have been Belle." For a moment there was silence in which Ruth half regretted mentioning this episode. Then "Who is Belle?" inquired Hiram constrainedly. "The girl he's engaged to. She lives in Toronto. She's a good sport—he says I'ni not. He was so surprised when I got tired and coukin't heave great rocks around!" Hiram seemed to breathe again. "No accounting for tastes. Person- ally, 7 don't want an Amazon for my wife." This was comforting. Yet she could not accept his satisfaction with her before her confession was template. "But the worst of it was, Hiram," she said slowly, "that I wanted to go with him. Ti seemed so—so ro- mantic." Hiram's ready acquiescence gave her in turn d tivirrgb of jealousy. "Probably everybody feels so at times," he rej'oilled in his natural, mat- ter-of-fact voice.

I found out why my wife had dreaded A small piece around my finger when knitting, crocheting, or hem- ming by hand has often kept my finger from becoming sore. To'avoid trouble at school in telling their over- shoes apart, I cut the tape into strips, write their names -upon it, and paste it into the back of the children's overshoes and rubbers. I carry out this same idea with the boys' caps. I also make ideal labels for bottles, cans, and jars from the tape, and wash day. I decided that I would investigate, and if an easier way could be found we would adapt it. I visited several farms that were equipped with power washers. The users all claimed them to be quite efficient, but:in most eases I found the water had to be'heated in the house, then carried to the wash - house. In some cases the washer was situ- ated in the cellar, which seemed to be write upon it with ink. rather dark and damp. Finally I de- If a new pair of shoes rub the heel cided to work out a system that would at the top of the heel stiffening, I put suit our requirements, and in the fol- lowing I will try to describe it: We had a wash -house 14x20 feet. I connected a drain with the centre of this, and concreted the floor with a gradual slope toward the drain. Thus any water spilt on the floor would run to the drain, and the floor could be flushed to clean it. In one corner I made a concrete box into which I piped running water. I purchased a two -tub power washer with wringer 'attached, sixteen feet of shafting, four boxes, twa pulleys, and a small gasoline engine, In the end opposite the water box I placed the engine, and fastened the shafting to the ceiling about two feet from one side of the building by means of the boxes. I belted ed the en- gine to one end of the shaft, and the washer to the other. Then came the question of heating the water. I pur- chased a three -burner oil stove, and had a tinner make me a boiler to fit with a faucet at the bottom. This I put near the water box, and as far from the engine as possible. Now when my wife wants to wash she lights the oil stove, ,attaches a hose to the running water faucet, and lets the boiler fill, In about fifteen or twenty minutes the water is boil- ing. She then attaches a hose to the faucet on the bottom of the boiler, and lets the water run to the first tub of the washer.• She then attaches the hose to the running water faucet again, and lets. the boiler refill while she puts the clothes and soap in the washer. Next she starts the engine, and by the time the water is heated the clothes are ready to be run through the wringer into the second tub, Where they are rinsed, the boiling water being then admitted to the sec- ond tub. The first tub can now be filled with more clothes. When the clothes are in the rinse water about ten minutes they are ready to be run through the wringer and hung up. The dirtiest of clothes should be thoroughly cleansed, but if some are not they can be put back and taken out with the next lot. This system of washing has worked out very satisfactorily, The biggest washing can generally be done in less than two hours, and there is no hard work. The water does not even have to be lifted. The oil stove is set high enough to bring the bottom of the boiler even with the top of the tubs. Thus the running water flows through the hose to the boiler, and after it is heated it flows from the boiler to the tubs. When the washing is done the plugs in the bottom of the tube are removed, and the water is conducted 'through a tin pipe (such as is used for eave spouts) to the d'r'ain where it runs from the building. The floor is then flushed, and the water runs to the drain, leaving the floor clean. There are windows on three sides that admit the sunshine, so the wash - house is always sweet and clean.

"But I don't believe she's the least bit suited to you," she said wonder - tingly. "Certainly she isn't," Hiram agreed cordially, "any more than her man is suited to you. If ever I'm in danger of forgetting it, I'll think of your ad- venture to -day. But those two are probably very well matched. So are we." A great truth seemed borne in upon Ruth. . "Why, of course we axe!" sate ex- claimed, With a quick glance at the men in the front seat she turned, and brushed Hiram'& cheek with her dips. 11Oh, I'm so glad that I'm going to Merry' just you!"

When fumigat- ing a room I discovered that the tape could be used along the windows to exclude the air, and I make use of this discovery in cold weather to keep out the cold air around the kitchen door. Indeed, I do not know how I could keep house without my adhesive tape in its several widths to help me mend the accidents and breaks which occur in everyday life.
