CHAPTER xxxv.

TN SPITE of the Judge Alix was feeling
i very lonely. abandoned. unloved. She
sat on the little veranda at tho back OF tho
town house and dhy.dreamed. Across her
knee lay tho morning paper. A word
caught her eye Eicnic. Half uncon.
sciously she read Among the arrivals
by the Elcnio Hon Percy Col
lingeford"
Collingeford She started to her feet
and then with what seemed perceptiblo
click her mind repeated. "Eleuic," She sat
for Il long time looking at her hand. The
telephone bell rang, but she did not hear
IT. Old John came and stood beside her
"Mr Collngeford telephones to know
II you are In town"
a frightened geam showed in Alx's
eyes. 1t passed and flame of color came
into her pale cheeks, Yes" she said
~ am at home. Tell him 1 will see him
at any time today"
Collingeford lost no time. When he ar.
rived, Alix was still sitting on the
Ncranda She received him there. He
came upon her with rush-like fresh
breeze. what luclSr' he cried REALLY
in town on a hot summers day? Which
is it? Frocks or the dcntist?"
Allx rose and held out her hand. A
faint smile came to her face, fingered n
moment and passed "1 am glad you have
come" she said and then paused. Her
eyes wavered. Was she glad he had
come?
Collingcford caught her mood. Just
what do you mean by that?" he asked
gravcly.
AliX's eyes came back to his face. Il
l don't know" she stammered.
They sat down. Collingeford dropped
his hat and stick and leaned forward. a
dun color burned in his cheeks. "Alx,"
he said, "has-has anything happened?
NO said AliX, mot what you mean.
Gerry Is alive. lie has written. He says
he is coming baCk-somc time"
Collingeford sprang to his feet, his eyes
flashing.
Some timer Did he really write that2
Some timer"
There was n petulant look about AlIx's
mouth that belonged to an Alix of long
ago. She tried to shake it off with her
mood. NO" she said DULY, after n
pause. "He didn't write Just that, but It
amounts TO the same thing. He wrote
but he has not Come'
Collingcford paced up and down the
little veranda, his arms crossed and one
hand pulling nervouslv at his mustache.
He came TO stop before AliX and stood
looking down at her, his eyes eager but
questioning. "Well?' he said.
CONTINUED TOMORROW.

GAS LIGHTS
Are Your Gas Lights Satisfactory?
By VIRGINIA F.. KIFT

Ing the sleeve and uncovering the slots
IN the duct the quantity OF air In the

The flow OF gas also can be regulated
by means of n needle valve at the base
of the gas duct This needle will narrow
or widen the OF ming which admits the
gas. thus regulating its consumption.
To regulate a I antle burner Inverted
or uprghO which does not seem to be
burning properly open theo slots In the
sleeve to admit all the air possible. Next
locate the needle valve at the basc OF the
ourncr and open 1t slowly, watching an
object on the table below to discern when
the hrlliancy of the light is greatest.
When you have this properly adjusted.
close the air slots n little and notice II
the briliancy Is increased or diminished.
Discover the point of greatest brilliancy
and the lamp will then be properly ad-
justcd.
In a burner which makes too much
noise close the air slots until the noise
ceases and then regulate the brlliancy
by means OF the needle valve. How
ever. as It Is cheaper to burn air than gas,
as much air and as little gas as possible
should bo allowed in the burner, even IL
it does "blow" little.
When n mantle becomes blackened, It
shows that too much gas and too little
air are supplied. In consequence, the gas
is not burned completely and carbon or
SCOT is deposited on the mantle. 1t Is
easy to remedy this trouble by opening
the air slots n little, turning. the gas.

little salt dropped on the blackened
portion will aid in burning away this

Now that you know how. regulate your
