would go at once and find out whether
| things were going according TO John
Hartley's plans. From her liberal al
lowance Of money she had funds
enough for the journey. The matter OF
escape was simply one of adroitness.
Three days later a demure young
woman applied at the home of John
| Hartley for the position Of seamstress,
In answer to an advertisement which
had appeared in a newspaper. She
was duly employed and became a part
of the household.
The beauty OF the new seamstress at
tracted the attention of Richard Hart
ley at once. and the most casual con-
tact opened his eyes TO the fact that
she was a young woman Of quality and
education. He began at once 10 find
occasion at odd moments to talk to her.
and the more he talked TO her the
more charmed he became with her
For her part, Bertha regarded the
handsome young fellow as a veritable
Apollo. But then Bertha had spent
her life in a convent: what did she
know Of young fellows? She learned
from the gossip in the servants quar-
tiers that the young master was en-
gagged to marry a Miss Ashley. that the
match had been forced by their par
ents. and that Richard was everything
but enthusiastic about 1t, and that the
marriage, which had been postponed
several times, was now scheduled for a
month later

talks. Richard told her about II aud

WOULD REDUCE FUEL COST
Coal That Was Formerly Wasted
Might Be Utilized in Form
of Briquettes.

eve shall be using briquettes on a con-
siderable scale in this country within a
very few years" said Mr. f. W. Parker
who was a member of the anthracite
strike commission last year and is the
coal mining expert of the geological sur
vey.
This is an industry which, although
II has no foothold to-day. for briquettes
are not manufactured commercially as
yet in this country, is bound to come to
the front Conditions which have been
unfavorable for 1t In the past are rapidly
changing. In Germany one-third Of the
entire coal mined is Ignite, nearly all Of
which is briquetted before being used.
Briquettes are retailed there by count In
stead of weight German friend Of
mine recently told me that when he was
at school he used to buy eight or ten bril-
quotes each morning, putting them into
porcelain stove, closing the draft tight
They would in this way burn all day long.
For domestic purposes the briquette
is an exceedingly economical form of
using coal. With Ignite. or with the fine
coal produces as the result Of the min
ing industry, or even very dry bitumin-
ous-as those Goals are called which do
not fuse when thrown on the grate-ef-
flcieney is greatly increased by this pro-
cess. Ignite all goes to pieces under
combustion, and with the other kinds
that | have mentioned a large share Of
tho com busfibie material is lost m rough
the CRATE bars. If these were made suf-
ficiently small to hold everything in the
air supply would be insufficient But
when these Goals are manufactured into
briquettes they hold together in. that
form until consumed. Everything burns
to an ash and without clinkers.
Small sizes of anthracite formerly
wasted are now being utilized. Much is
being recovered by washers from the old
culm banks of the anthracite region
Much coal is still. however. lost in the
form of dust, which might be utilized If
It could be put into convenient shape for
domestic consumption.
-Four hundred patents had been is
sued on artificial fuels before 1902, none
Of which became a demonstrated success
commercially up to that time, so. far as
am aware In the last two years there
have been about 40 patents, mostly OF
briquette processes. -Washingto Star.
