MAKES STAIN THAT WILL LAST
Permanent Polish Not Hard to Put To,
gether, and Will Be Durable on
the Floor Where Ii Is Applied.

One Of the most durable stains
known, and not expensive, for either
kitchen or dining-room, Is made and
applied as follows, says the Common
er. Have the floor perfectly clean,
well scrubbed and dried, and for the
average-size room get one-fourth ounce
of permangnate Of potash, add to a
quart Of water and apply quickly to
the floor, using fat brush; repeat
the process until as dark as you want
it. When dry, go over it with one or
two coats Of boiled linseed oil and
turpentine, In proportion of two
ounces of turpentine to quart of the
oil, stirred well. Let the first coat dry
before applying the second. and It will
pay you to apply the second coat. AT
ter drying there will be no more scrub
bling necessary, but it can be wiped
up with clear water and a cloth, drying
with another cloth.

declared that this was not their first

CHAPTER XIII.
A Master-Stroke of the Trap-Door

A Master-Stroke of the Trap-Door
Raoul and Christine ran, eager to
escape from the roof and the blazing
eyes that showed only in the dark;
and they did not stop before they
came to the eighth floor on the way
down
There was no performance at the
opera that night and the passages
were empty. Suddenly, queer-look-
ing form stood before them and
blocked the road:
No, not this way"
And the form pointed to another
passage by which they were to reach
The wings. Raoul wanted to stop and
ask for an explanation. But the form,
which wore sort of long frock-coat
AID pointed cap, said:
Quick. Go away quickly"
CS..st.ne wag already dragging
itaoul, compelling him to start run
aing again.
But who is he? Who is that man pr

Christine replied: ITS the Persian"
What's he doing here?"
Nobody knows. He is always In
the opera"
You are making me run away, for
the first time In my life. Ii we really
saw Erick, what | ought to have done
WAS to nail him to Apollo's Tyre, just
as we nail the owls to the walls of
our Breton farms; and there would
have been no more question of him. -
My dear Raoul, you would first
have had to climb up to Apollo's Tyre;
that is no easy matter"
The blazing eyes were there!"
"Oh, you are getting like me now
seeing him everywhere, What | took
for blazing eyes was probably couple
of stars shining through the strings OF
the Tyre"
And Christine went down another
floor. with Raoul following her
AS you have quite made up your
mind to go, Christine, | assure you it
would be better to go at once. Why
wait for tomorrow? He may have
heard us tonight"
No, no, he is working, | tell you, at
his Don Juan Triumphant and not
thinking Of us.
You're so sure of that you keep on
looking behind youl'
Come TO my dressing-room."
Hadn't we better meet outside the
opera?"
Never, till We go away for good!
It would bring us bad luck, ii l did
not keep my word. l promised him
to see you only here"
Its a good thing for me that he
allowed you even that. Do you know"
said Raoul bitterly, that 1t was very
plucky of you to let US play at being
engaged?"
Why, my dear, he knows all about
1t. He said, trust you, Christine.
M. de Chagny is In love with you and

Are people so unhappy when they
love?"
Yes, Christine, when they love and
are not sure of being loved"
They came to Christine's dressing
room.
why do you think that you are
safer in this room than on the stage?"
asked Raoul. You heard him through
the walls here, therefore he can GER
tainly hear US"
NO. He gave me his word not to
be behind the walls of my dressing
room again and | believe Erik's word.
This room and my bedroom on the
lake are for me, exclusively, and not
to be approached by him"
How can you have gone from this
room into that dark passage, Chris
tine? Suppose we try to repeat your
movements; shall WEI"

stead Of running away, | should be

passage to the lake and there call

Erik will hear me wherever | call
him. He told me So He is a very
curious genius. You must not think,
Raoul, that he is simply man who

man could do; he knows things which
nobody in the world knows"
Take care, Christine, you are max

Yes, tomorrow"
Tomorrow, you will have no re-

Then, Raoul. you must run away

Il shall be here at twelve tomorrow

ever happens. You say that, after
listening to the performance, he is to

Raoul, in fact, devoted the whole
day to his preparations for the flight.
The horses, the carriage, the coach
man, the provisions, the luggage, the
money required for the journey, the
road to be taken Che had resolved not
to go by train, so as to throw the
ghost off the SCENT; all this had to
be settled and provided for; and it
occupied him until nine o'clock at
night
At nine O'Clock, a sort OF travelling
harouche with the curtains OF its win
dows ciose-down, took its place in the
rank on the Rotuuda side. 1t was
drawn by two powerful horses driven
by a coachman whose face was al
most concealed in the long folds of a
muffier In front of this travelling
carriage were three broughams, be-
longing respectively 10 Carlotta, who
had suddenly returned to Paris, 10
Sorelli and at the head of the rank

NAMED on his box, and the three other
coachmen remained on theirs.
A shadow in long black cloak and
a soft black felt hat passed along the
pavement between the Rotunda and
the carriages, examined the barouche
carefully, went up to the horses and
the coachman and then moved away
without saying a word. The magiS
trate afterward believed that this
shadow was that Of the Vicomte Raoul
de Chagny; but | do not agree, see
ing that that evening, as every eve

was that of the ghost, who knew all

FOR THE BEST OF COFFEE
Three Ways of Preparing Beverages
Which Is Favorite In Every
American Household.

For old-fashioned coffee the rule Is
one tablespoon for each person and
one for the pot. To clear it take one
TOUR tablespoons of cold water, using
ohe-thlrd of this for six tablespoons
or coffee. The remainder of the egg
water will keep until used on the next
two mornings.
SUR with spoon so all the coffee
may become coated with the egg mix
ture. Now turn into the coffee pot as
many cups of boiling water as spoons
of coffee used Set on the fire and
allow to boil briskly five minutes. Set
back on the stove to melt" for ten
minutes.
Percolated coffee Is the best coffee
made and those who Can afford a per-
colater will find that it will lessen the
bills and that they can always have
fine coffee. A cheaper grade of COT
fee can be used in percolater than
for regulation" boiled coffee. Have
the coffee pulverized. using one heap
ing teaspoon for each cup, turn over
1t the same number Of cups of boiling
water and allow it to percolate eight
minutes.
If the frugal housekeeper will wash
every egg she uses before breaking
and will put the shells through a
meat grinder she will find there Is no
need Of using eggs to settle coffee.
One tablespoon of the ground eggshell
put into the coffee pot with the coffee
and two tablespoons OF cold water
stirred we'll before adding the boiling
water will make the coffee clear and
amber colored.
Drip coffee can be made In any cof-
fee pot. Take a cocoa can that will
fit into the top of the coffee pot and
punch fine holes in the bottom Put
into 1t the coffee ground very finely,
the same proportion as for boiled
coffee-one tablespoon to cup of wa
ter. Turn the water slowly into the
can, allowing it to drip slowly into the
pot. Then put 1t on the back of the
stove, where it will get hot but not
boil. II desired very strong, take the
coffee from the pot and turn 1t into
the coffee can at the top for the sec
ond time. Keep hot, for after drip
coffee cools 1t is not very good.

CLEARED AWAY
Proper Food Put the Troubles Away.

Our own troubles always seem more
severe than any others. But when

food which cleared away the troubles.

many years I was unable to eat even

After eating I would suddenly be

headache and misery that would some
