VICTORY OVER JACK FROST
Writer Tells Of Preparation Which
Will Keep Pipes From Freezing
Even in Coolest Weather.

One of the most annoying and trou-
blesome things to be met each winter
in farm and country life is the ques-
ton of frozen water pipes, writes l. C.
Mink in the Country Gentleman. This
is especially so in districts where
there is no gas line, and where plumb
ing is unprotected and open.
Each winter for several years l was
given all kinds of trouble and extra
work in this way as soon as the Their
mometer reached the freezing point or
lower. After much experimenting !
finally hit upon the easiest, most mex
pensive and surest way to keep the
frost off the pipes. l have recon.
mended it to many persons, who have
tried 1t and found It saves many repair
bills.
Melt an equal quantity of petroleum
-vaseline-and of paraff1n wax to-
gether, and, after wiping the pipes per
fectly dry, apply with an old brush a
thick coat of this mixture while it is
hot An old lamp or torch will easily
keep it in liquid state.
You will find that no matter how
cold the weather may get the frost

inn<eeper Could Serve Excellent
Luncheon, But Evidently Was
Not of Literary Aind.

They are telling in Westchester a
story about Richard Harding Davis
and Gouvernor Morris.
These two writer's, it appears, we're
motoring the other day, and stopped
at an inn for luncheon. The luncheon
was excellent, and after it was over
Mr.. Davis went out to look over the
car, leaving M. Morris alone. Mr..
Morris, in good spirits from his fine
meal, said genially to the landlord:
Landlord, you'll be interested, per-
haps, to know that my companion is
Mr.. Richard Harding Davis
The landlord tried his best to look
impressed and interested
You don't say" he remarked ''And
what business might he be in?"
A few minutes later Mr. Morris took
his seat in the car, and Mr. Davis
remained behind to settle the bill. AS
he counted his change Mr.. Davis in
his turn said to the landlord:
Landlord, my friend there is Gous
verneur Morris"
Again the landlord looked impressed
and puzzled.
Morris? Morris?" he said. 1.-THE
name sounds familiar. Meat line, ain t
it. sir?"

War Correspondent Equal to the Oc-

Became Pressing.

One of the recent London publica-
lions is a book entitled Bohemian
Days in Fleet Street." by "A Journal
ist." 1t contains among other things
some amusing character sketches of
war correspondents, famous in their
day. OF one of these, a genial Irish
man named Charlie" Williams, the
following anecdote is told:
Charlie Williams could have given
Baron Munchausen a stone and beat

of Ireland accent and his campaign
anecdotes gained greatly by the stolid,
matter-of-fact manner in which they
were narrated l recall now one OF
his campaign "reminiscences. 1t Is a
quaint experience of a correspondent

Helena nodded

Helena never forgot that hour. The

er on the front door echoed its signal
through the house, she did not move.
Judy opened the door to admit tall
stranger powdered with snowflakes
and apparently almost exhausted from
his journey in the storm
"Judy!" faint voice exclaimed. and
then the man sank helplessly on the
old-fashioned hall seat
/ However, that one word was enough
for the old servant. In a minute she
was on her knees pulling at his coat,
and murmuring words of endearment.

By the great stove In the kitchen
Gilbert Arnold obediently swallowed
the hot drinks Judy prepared, and
tried to answer the good old souls
questions.
He had travelled day and night since
that memorable afternoon when they
had told him that the guilty one had
confessed, and that he was free man
He thought of Mary Crawford, and
something told him that the woman
who once loved him had been worthy
of his trust
"Massa Gilbert" Judy was saying,
"Missus will want to know you is
come, and If you is thoroughly warmed
I'll go tell her."
Judy" the man said, where is
your mistress?'
I'm her sitting room, Massa Gil
bert"
And you say Barbara will be home
coon? Then your mistress is alone?"
Yes, massa."
Let me go to her, Judy, know just
where the room is, for l used to play
there when boy"
The little woman by the fire must
have been dreaming happy dreams for

start when she suddenly opened her
eyes and saw tall form opposite her.
Gilbert" she said softly, this
dream of you has lasted so long to-
night, longer than ever before But
shall wake soon and then you will
be gone"
Something in the woman's eyes
made the mans face glow with Joy
unspeakable. Softly stepping to her
side he took her hands in his.
Mary" he said, 81 am free and
have come back to you and Barbara
The light of great happiness stole
into Mary Crawford's soul as she real
lied that he was no dream.
Gilbert" she said, Barbara is
happy. She is going to be the wife
of noble. honest man and Il am
happy because she Is"
Gently Gilbert Arnold raised her
face 50 that he could look into her
eyes.
Dear one" he said, you must be
happy because l have come back to
love you"
"To love me-" she repeated how
do you know that will make me
happy?"
Because you told me when you
woke and found me here"
She did not speak, but let her tired
head rest on his shoulder Slowly he
bent his head down to hers.
How long have you cared for me
like this, Mary?" he asked.
