Special Free Offer

Your fuel bill is larger than necessary.
 The leak that boosts the fuel bill in the winter and the house-clean- ing bill in the summer is the air leak around poorly fitting win- dows and doors through which the chilled air (which costs money to heaD or dust-laden air (Which costs money or the wife's energy Co clean up) pours every minute of the twenty-four hours
 You have done nothing to pre- vent the leaks around the edges. because you never realized before that they were letting in volumes of icy or dust-laden air which is the same as taking the money out of your pocket

they'd help other little boys.
Barry's dreams were also Of riches.
He would go without fear of dragons
of aunts to the home of his love and
ride away with her to his castle. So
close did she seem on the big rock
that tender little speeches rose to
his lips-the summer breezes laden
with the fragrance of her hair. and
he saw the sparkle of her smile in
each dancing moonbeam.
Barry did not know that his note
was hidden In Armies jewel box. nor
that she had said when she read it:
TITS not fair. Barry. He did know
that Anne's aunt was ambitious for
her handsome young niece; he could
almost hear her saying. complacently:
MY dear, you should be grateful that
Barry went away. You have only to
think of your own home, where your
mother shaved from morning until
night for your father and you chill
dren, to be glad you need not be poor"
But how could Barry know that
each time Anne took out the note she
whispered: You have not been fair,
Barry" No gossipy fairy gave him
hint that after one hot, restless
night Anne rose resolutely and wrote
him letter-that she hid it in her
dress and smiled radiantly as she
mailed it-but he did know when the
letter came to Clefton. He had to
read and reread it before he could
believe his eyes. Then he called. ex-
citedly. to Dennie and raced him to

and talked to him very earnestly about
the reformatories that do not reform,
about the old Wildwood farm. to which

The Judge was interested. but he said,
