CHAPTER XII.

Crawford was a man of taste and dis
elimination in some things at least. His
apartments showed this. They were
furnished with quiet sumptuousness and
an eye to comfort.
In the choice Of his valet, too, he had
been singularly felicitous. There was
not a masculine friend or acquaintance
who did not envy him his man." Rogers
had attained that period of life when
ones age is put down as uncertain by
persons who do not know it. He knew
his duties and went about them in an I'M
obtrusive manner. Having served Craw-
ford for several years. he was thoroughly
familiar with his likes and dislikes and
anticipated his wants Almost obsequi-
Gus in his Difference, he was quick to
comprehend situations. and Crawford
knew he could count upon his discretion
in fact the man seemed to have no in
teresrs aside from his In word. Rogers
was of that type of retainer one reads of
in books and is led TO believe was not
uncommon in times past. but which one
seldom comes across nowadays. when
servants rule the house despotically. and
the family is allowed to remain on suf-
ferance as boarders.
Crawford had just gone out when Nora
called. BY the time the cab had rolled
from the theater district and up the west
side of the city to the house in West End
avenue where Mallory's partner lived.
her excitement had cooled considerably,
and with it her courage had fizzled out.
She had never been to Crawfords house
before, although her curiosity had more
than once almost induced her to accept
his invitations. given pressinsly. she felt
that she was not doing right, and when
the elevator boy had let her off his car
on the floor on which Crawfords apart
ments were situated her first impulse was
to run downstairs again. Twice she eX-

Every woman knows what a nuisance
a hot fire is on summer day.
Fels-Naptha is double blessing:
-. 1t not only does the washing easier and
better, but it cleans the clothes in cold or
lukewarm water without grilling fire to
boil them. No over-heated kitchen; no
nauseating steam; no putting your hands
into hot water to roughen and redden them.
Add to this advantage the saving of
time, labor, fuel and clothes, and you have
some idea why women who have once
washed with Fels-Naptha will have no
other soap.
g But you must wash the Fels-N aptha
way in cold or lukewarm water; never boil
the clothes or use boiling water.
When you unwrap cake of
Fels-Naptha, pin the wrapper on the wall
in your laundry, and follow the plainly
printed directions.
Be sure it is red and green wrapper.

Now the National Funeral Directors
Association -c cheerful organization--is
after Mr.. Jones, and seeks to take
away from him practically his only re-
naming source OF repIenishment-
burials at sea. Yesterday "a petition
was introduced in Congress protesting
against such burials, and basing the
protest on the burial of Mrs. Chalmers
Prentice, of Chicago, at sea. Mrs. Prem
tiee was a passenger on the Konegin
Luise, and was buried from that ship
on April y. 1907.
The funeral directors action was
based on the ground of the inhumanity
of such burials. and they label II as
"villainous' and "barbarous" They
ask Congress 70 remedy the horrible
condition.
The petition was referred 10 the
