struck momentary terror to her
heart, the atterthought followed
with blessed relief-the certainty
that they were gone and she was
safe.
Mr.. Myers and Jane were seated

Tai51TT'S PATENT SPARK -AssEsTss,
The Invention of the Age.

The Invention of the Age.
Talbott's patent SPARK-ARRFsTER is really
the only perfect and reliable one, and is superse ding
all others in use. Its prominent fe ,tures are:
1t does not destroy the draft.
1t does not interfere with cleaning the tubes
1t will not choke up, and requires no cleaning.
1t requires direct dampers be opened when
raising steam (dampers being objectionable as they
may be left open and allow sparks to escape.)
1t requires no water to extinguish sparks, which,
by condensation, destroys the draft. Besides when
water is used if neglected, the efficiency destroy
ed by evaporation of the water, and the boiler is
kept in filthy condition.
1t is simple and durable and can be relied upon
1t can he attached to any boiler.
No planter should be without one of them. In
surance companies will insure gins and barns where
the Talbot Engines and Spark -Arresters re used
