maker, and when she died l never dared repeat the experiment with the women in the set lived in You are different For years I have been hun gry. Don't you think that you can come and make 1t for me?"
 The little woman paused for a mo- ment and scanned the face of the multimillionaire as earnestly as though she had not devoted weeks in that pur- suit.
 There was no ardent affection in tone or look. Fairbain discussed the matter with as much feeling as though he was discussing the making of some railroad deal with his fellow magnates. He was not the young lover, but the elderly widower in need of homemaker.
 The girl-she was little more than that-nodded her head in an affirma- tive.
 'I'll make the home for you, but not as your wife. am not widow, you seel'
 T am married" continued the girl hurriedly. 'I married when I was on the stage. I married a boy who never had had home, and I made one for him-out here where nothing matters. He was home hungry. I knew that would spoil all his chances if I mar ried him. I also knew that he would spoil his own chances if I didn't, so I married him.
 After our boy was born that was the second year we were here-he went back east and took a name that was neither his nor mine to show his father that he was able to work for the woman he loved. am married to your son, MT. Fairbain. I guess you've forgotten that Gregory married Martha Bodington. From what Gregory told me. you called me everything but my right name at that last interview"
 Perhaps did," was the shamefaced reply Il guess did not know what was saying, and I'm certain that I didn't know the sort of a girl I was talking about
 We'll forget that now" offered Martha. Let the past be forgotten for the sake of the boy"
 But Gregory" asked Fairbain.
 "There,' Martha pointed out over the prairie, where the secretary was to be seen riding across the section with the mail.
 And Wilson is Gregory? You mean to say didn't know my own boy when I hired him?' asked Fairbain, with a chuckle. ITO think that all the time he has been here I've been fretting because I feared that you might learn to love him. And all that time you were married to him. I'm rather glad, my dear, that I made my second mar riage by proxy. so long as you will make home for Greg and the boy and me"
 "I was so afraid that you would rec ognize Greg" said Martha as she re- garded the tall figure of the secretary with a look of frank admiration.
 He assumed an excellent disguise" reminded Fairbain. T never thought to find my son a worker, my dear. That's another thing I have to thank you for" and Fairbain sighed with relief He had found home while retaining his domestic independence. and the son for whom his heart cried out was restored to him again.

BON| HOLDS OUT
 FOR $6oo,ooo.
Princess Anna Offers Him $40O,Ooo to Save Children.
FEARS TO LOSE IN COURT
castellane's Letter Withdrawing His Demand For $eo,ooo a Year For the Maintenance of His Three Young Sons Regarded by Former Wife as a Ruse to Get Possession of the Boys and Extort Large Sums From Her.

Paris, Dec 17.-According to a story published in the Temps today, Prin- cess Anna Gould de Sagan, fearing that her former husband Count Boni de Casteuane, will win his contest in court, has offered him S4O0OO0 in cash on condition that he abandons his suit for the possession of their three chil- dren.
 Castellane has declined this offer. saying that the amount is not sufi cient, He wants his debts paid and at least S6OO.oOO in cash.
 His former wife says that CaStel- lanes formal withdrawal in court of his request for S60.000 a year for thc support of the children when they come under his guardianship is only a fent or ruse 10 get q still larger supply of money from her.
 If Count Boni can succeed in get ting possession of the children hy or der of court with or without a money allowance. he knows that when he has them under his guardianship he can get any amount of money from their mother merely for the privilege of seeing them an hour or two each week
 The letter of the count addressed to his counsel, Nj. Bonnet is touched in eloquent phraseoIogy. Ii begins:
 Indignant at the pprfdious and lv- ing insinuatlOps of the princess and her family representing that my only desire is to obtain a big allowance I now ask fer myself and my mother oEly tho custody of the children I re nounce with pleasure the request for an allowance"
 "The new and unexpected attitude of George Gould" De CaStellane writes who regards this suit simply as a vulgar affair of money and who believes that his golden authority can gid the marriage of his sister with q tarniShed man. Compels me more strongly than ever to insist on the withdrawal of the children from the house of which the prince is the orna- ment aud from surroundings where they will learn only one thing-that honor Is nothing and money every thing
 The decision I have taken will show the court the sole purpose which inspires mo. my parents and my rela- tives We are without fortunes. and upon the question of money we do not hold the same theories as do the Goulds. Concerning the educa ton of

Fels-Naptha is more than soap-it's s a helping hand on washday.

Fels-Naptha IS more than a Soap-lt's helping hand on washday
 And a mighty big help, too.
 If a neighbor came in and did three fourths of your weekly washing, she would be doing as much as Fels-Naptha will do for you if you wish.
 Fels-Naptha will dissolve and loosen the dirt in your clothes while they soak in cool or lukewarn water.
 Then, with light rub and thorough rinsing, they're ready for the line.
 No boiling; no hard rubbing; in sum- mer or winter.
 And your clothes will be sweeter. cleaner and winter than if you boiled them till Doomsday.
 Take advantage of this helping hand next washday and the drudgery of washing clothes will be ended for you
 Follow directions printed on the back of the red and green wrapper.
