Electricity for Thawing Pipes.


Shutting off water supply to a
house is about as inconvenient and un
pleasant to it's occupants as anything
this side Of bad fire, and so the min
ute service pipe freezes there is an
emergency job for the water depart
ment or the local plumber. There is
no way of thawing these frozen pipes
SO satisfactorily as an electric outfit,
such as several manufacturers of cleo
trio apparatus make for this purpose,
and every public department and pri-
vate company in a place where frozeE
pipes cause trouble should have one
ready for instant service. In some
cities the electric lighting company is
sufficiently progressive to own scch
outfits and to do the pipe thawing
that is necessary. The work is really
part of the service which a water de-
partment should render, however, and
wherever past experience has shown
that such freezing is likely to recur
annually the electric thawing outfits
should be regarded in the same light
as the outfit for keeping hydrants free,
as something indispensable in well
managed department. Engineering

shore and arrived in time to find the
girlN disengaging herself from LORD
Jocelyn's too-ready arms. Mrs. Van
Loo flung her own stout arms around
Jocelyn's neck.
You've saved her! You've saved

Ign, how can ever thank you
enough
And, even in his confusion, Joce-
lyn perceived that his secret was dis
covered.
He did not see Muriel again that
night, but went to bed, conflicting emo
lions struggling within him. Some
thing in Muriel's actions perplexed
him. Had she fallen on purpose? He
recollected some words of hers that
in this new light savOred of mystic
rious meaning She had alluded to
the possibility of being saved from
drowning. And then-that fall had
been almost a deliberate step back

the water-had, indeed chung to the

Miserable doubts tormented him, and
these were in no wise lessened by the
fact that Mrs Van Loo had evidently

But in the morning whimsical

them.

But the girl trembled and shrank

Suppose that it is true Jocelyn

haughtily, Il advise you to pack your

she went into the dining room, fol-
lowed by her daughter.
Jocelyn turned to Stanfield.
"Stanfeld," he said, his voice shak-

the thrashing of your life for this,
but in consideration of the service
that you have done me shall merely
ignore you henceforward. You have
shown up Miss Van Loo to me in a

away.
But Stanfield followed him and
stopped him at the end of the piazza
"Dickey," he said, "listen to your
best friend. / own did mean to have
some fun with you. But when / saw
Mrs. Van Loo my joke became ear
nest, sober reality. For / had met her
two winters ago at Palm Beach, and
the daughter too, Dickey."
"Well?" asked Lord Jocelyn coldly.
There was a dukes son there,
Dickey, who seemed attached to Mu-
riel. And she played the same trick
on him, Dickey. She fell into the
surf out of catboat.
Nov you toddle along to the de-
pot, Dickey," he added, taking his
friend by the arm, land I'll be there

Starts
A month afterward, while playing
solitaire in his apartment on Madi-
son Avenue, New York, Lord Jocelyn
received a scented envelope bearing
the Boston postmark. 1t contained
long letter, a wild babble from Mrs.
Van Loo, imploring his forgiveness.
THAT wretched friend of yours con-
fessed that he had played a practical
joke on you,'' he read. Come and
see US. Muriel and I have not forgot
ten our hero" it ended
Lord Jocelyn paused and sighed, for
his memories of Muriel were still ten
der ones. Then he tore the letter in
to pieces and threw them into the
waste paper basket. He called his
valet.

you bear no malice because I got
you into difficulty then. Jack?"
Not Bit" said Stanfield cordially.
I'll be glad to return the compli-
ment."
'"Then for the love of Heaven, help
me, Jack" said Jocelyn, and he told
him all, while Jack listened with alb
sorbing interest.
"You see, Jack, I've got myself in
bad he said. Nov want you to
see the girl privately, you under
standard convince her that really
am Lord Jocelyn and that the mother
misunderstood me. I was fool to
do what / did-a silly ass who needs
kicking. / know the girl would have
stood by me anyhow, and now I've
gone and bungled everything through
my beastly suspicious nature. Jack,
you fix things for me and you shall

.sYou bet will, replied Jack heart
lily. "Now, Dick, you're ratified. Go
and take nice stroll along the beach
till luncheon time, and when you come
back I'll have things fixed for YOU
II WILL" said Jocelyn gratefully,
starting off with swinging stride;
and, as he watched him depart, Jack
Stanffeld murmured:
Its worth it, it's worth it. It's
worth even a diamond PIN" Where
upon he went of to have quiet talk
with his bride.
The luncheon gong, audible for half
mile, drew Jocelyn homeward. With
appetite sharpened by his walk he
hurried toward the hotel, in whose din
ing room the guests were already as
sembling. Outside, on the piazza, en-
gagged in earnest conversation, he per-
ceived Mrs Van Loo and Stanfield.
Gratitude arose in his breast toward
his friend. So, even in that short
space of time he had contrived to
strike up an acquaintance with that
lady. AS he approached them, not
without shyness, he saw MuriePs
slight figure emerge from the dining
room, and hurried up to intercept her.
She saw him coming and shrank
back, dismayed, not knowing what to
say. But he was at her side, pouring

struggle that was going on in Lord
Jocelyn's mind They advanced to
the very end of the pier and sat down
upon seat. hooking into the seething
waves below them. Meanwhile Mrs.
Van Loo, ambling in the rear. smiled
knowingly to herself as she perceived
the propinquity Of the pair.
Muriel was an excellent swimmer
and had gagged the situation to a
nicely. She know that there were no
rocks beneath her; that there was no
current, in spite of the apparent rough
ness of the water And, immersed in
that warm tide, it would be easy
enough to cling to the pier framework
until she was rescued. So, even as
Lord Jocelyn had begun to stammer
the first inane words of his proposal,
she arose, slipped, and fell backward
and downward with a shrill scream
into the sea.
Her scream was re-echoed by her
mother, who, wholly ignorant of Mu-
riePs scheme, came running up, yell
ing at the top of her voice and waving
her arms frantically. For the fraction
of an instant Jocelyn hesitated: then,
f1inging of his coat, he leaped into
the water. He felt it close over his
head and went down until his feet
touched, for bare moment, the sandy
bottom; then he was upon the surface
again and making his way, with sure,
swift strokes, toward where a slight
figure chung to the frame of the pier.
AS he progressed he shouted encour-
agement to her. A few strokes more
and he had reached her; he clasped
the girl in his arms, and felt her own
close round his neck. Then Muriel
tainted and he felt her 1oosened hair
descend in cloud over him, and,
raising it, he kissed her on the lips.
Next moment he was striking out
toward the shore, bearing her in his
arms, where she lay with complete
confidence. Soon, feeling the bottom
under him, Lord Jocelyn waded to the
beach, carrying his precious burden.
He placed her on the sand and, bend
ing over her in intense anxiety, was
rejoiced to see her eyes unclose.
In the meantime Mrs. Van Loo's
shrieks had aroused the summer

culation And then he knew that fate
had settled his prospects, unless his
scheme should thwart them.
When Muriel, suffused with blush
es, and stammering her thanks, placed
her hand in his, he almost wavered
in his purpose. But deep below the
surface susceptibility of Lord Joce-
lyn's heart then ran a vein of shrewd-
ness, inherited from his father, the
fourth viscount. And so. when the
meal was concluded, he requested a
private interview with Mrs. Van Loo.
"Mr. JOcelyn," she said-forgetful
of her lapse of the preceding even
ing-<I can never thank you enough
for saving my darling girl to me. She
is all that have had to live for since
my husband died." she continued,
weeping softly. "And the thought that
/ must some day lose her, perhaps to
some one who would be unworthy of
her, has been the dread of my exis-
tence But now" she went on, smil-
ing upon her auditor
"But-but-" stammered Lord Joce-
lyn.
Remember the old proverb, Mr..
Jocelyn,'' said Mrs. Van Loo, tapping
his wrist archly. Faint heart never
won fair lady"
80, I am not worthy of her. Lord
Jocelyn groaned.

girl. Mr.. Jocelyn.'
Lord Jocelyn stared at her in affect
ed incredulity.
"You almost encourage me to tell
you my secret" he murmured. Mrs.
Van Loo, am not altogether what /
have represented myself to be"
s'You amaze me, Mr.. Jocelyn," said
that lady, concealing desire to shout
aloud in triumph. 1t was coming at
last, then, this avowal of his nobility.
II am not gentleman" muttered
Lord Joce1yn, burying his face in his
hands.
''You are one of natures gentle
men, Mrs. Van Loo rejoined.
mot even that
What are you, then?" asked his
auditor, tenderly.
Il am butler" Jocelyn groaned,
and sat bolt upright, facing her.
