A new AND DESIRABLE FUEL
One of the Best, Cleanest, Cheap
est and Most Satisfactory
Fuels Ever Offered in
the Mort Invest

the mort invest
That is Petroleum Coke. 1t means
less ashes, less dirt, less expense, less
work and more heat and more satisfac-
ton to the consumer. The Forbes Fuel
Co. have secured the exclusive agency
for this petroleum product in Webster,
and if you will give them trial order
they feel assured that you will come
for more.
Instructions For Using.
First see that all ashes are removed
except few on the CRATE to protectit.
A fire may then be readily kindled by
the use of a few sticks of kindling
wood.
Never shake the CRATE, but stir the
fire with poker; pick up and replace
in fire any particle of coke that may
fall through the CRATE. If Petroleum
Coke is properly used it will not be
necessary to remove any ashes during
an entire season. 1t is all carbon and all
burns. You buy no ashes.
Petroleum Coke burns with but little
draught; use the cold air draught and
the check damper in the pipe to hold
the fire.
In heating stoves, the air draught, or
slide l. front door, can be left open af-
ter fir, is started, and if necessary the
door NOV ba Loft opopaJ with M offaofc
from gas.
Petroleum Coke creates a powerful
heat, and for this reason care should be
taken not to over-feed. Put in rea-
sonable amount, then check down your
fire.
This applies especially to the ranges
and cook stoves, as too much Petroleum
Coke creates too much heat for the
oven and wastes fuel. The lid of the
stove may be removed to save fuel
with no effects from "as.
At night, or during lid weather, a
few ashes thrown over the top will help
to hold the fire. These same ashes
may be ''poked" through the CRATE and
used repeatedly.
Petroleum Coke is decided depart
ure from other fuel, as it is the only
fuel on the market that all burns and
leaves no ash, so don't be too hasty in
your judgment. Learn to use it, and
it will give you more heat for your
money than any other fuel with less
work and no ashes to carry out.
By using Petroleum Coke according
to the instructions above outlined, it
will give the best satisfaction from a
fuel standpoint, and will be found to
be the cheapest and most economical
fuel the consumer can buy.

In the reaction from this false alarm,
both men relaxed and began to yield
to the effects of the tramp across the
mud-fats. Arranging the reeds as
best they could they stretched out on
either side of Miss Leslie and fell
asleep in the middle Of an argument
on how the prospective leopard was
mostly likely to attack.
Miss Leslie remained awake for
| two or three hours longer Naturally
she was more nervous than her com
paniOns, and she had been refreshed
by her afternoons nap. Her nervous
ness was not entirely due to the wilt
beasts. Though Blake had taken pains
to secure himself and his companions

the branch above, Winthrope move'

the girl feared he would roll from tn

Probably no other man in the navy

other to swing the girl up beside him
on the branch.
"All right, Miss Jenny" he reas-
sured her as he felt her tremble. "Sor-
ry to scare you, but l couldn't have
made it without. Now. if you'll just
hold down my legs we'll soon hoist
his ludship"
He had seated her in the broadcast
49, of the shallow hollow, where the
branch joined the main trunk OF the
fig. Heaped with the reeds which he
had gathered during the afternoon it
made such coy shelter that she
at once forgot her dizziness and fright.
Nesting among the reeds, she leaned
over and pressed down on his ankles
with all her strength.
The loose end of the creeper had
fallen to the ground when Blake lifted
her upon the branch and Winthrope
was already slipping into the loop.
Blake ordered him. to take 1t OF and
send up the club. AS the creeper was
again flung down a black shadow
swept over the jungle.
Hello! Sunset" called Blake
Look sharp, there!'
"All ready" responded Winthrope.
Blake drew in full breath, and be
gan to hoist. The position was an
awkward one, and Winthrope weighed
30 or 40 pounds more than Miss Les
lie But as the Englishman came
within reach of the descending looI

The Chambers ranch was called up and the fire was from that point a little north but not as far east as Desert Inn.

Election Marshal Billy Wilson saw him enter it and being attracted by the voters serious actions kept his eye on him. The Mexican did not un fold the ballot but kept looking around as if in search of something At last he saw a hole which had been torn in the canvas partition of the booth and he stuck the ballot in it. The election marshal made him go back of the booth and get it. He was shown where the box was and handing it to the clerk he went out In the count that night there was one ballot innocent of any sort of mark. That is supposed to have been the Mexican's expression of opinion regarding direct legislation.
