THE LIFE OF GAS MRNTLES
Illuminating Device Should Last 1000
Burning Hours-May Be Destroyed
in Few Moments.

The following facts about gas man.
ties are taken from Gas Logic, the
house organ of the biggest gas company
in New York.
a good gas mantle should last from
500 to 500 or even 1000 burning hours.
'Breakage, however, is not always
due TO poor mantle quality. Turning
the gas off and on and the slight eX-
plosion that sometimes occurs when
it is lighted is highly destructive Of
mantles. \ mantle which. burning
steadily, might last for several thou
sand hours, may be destroyed in n few
minutes by rough handling or in a few
hours by unusual but unavoidable wear
and tear.
initial candle power is that meas
ured when the mantle is first lighted.
1t is extremely high in cheap and in
feriOr nantes. But soon, often with
in a few minutes, the brilliancy of the
light fades, never to be regained- The
intensity of this initial light is a snare

ties.
Sustained candle power is the meas
ure of light given out by a mantle
over a long period, and is, of course, the
real test of a good mantle. The high
class mantle may not have an initial
candle power equal to that of cheap
er substitute, but in the long test its
superiority is demonstrated.
Some of the gas companies are now
selling nantes with a guarantee Of
at least 90 days service"

my handsome fortune is a lost dog, SO
far as I'm concerned"
His mention of a lost dog hit me
right in the center of the solar plexus
and l laughed like a fool.
what struck your funny-bone?" he
demanded. sort of obviously, I fancied.
Nothing" gurgled; nothing
worth mentioning-only I'm hunting
for n lost dog, too"
But I didn't tell him any more. After
we'd smoked a while longer. and
Brown-beard had apologized for max
ing me listen to his rather longish tale
of woe, we took the porter's hint that
he'd like TO have the smoking room for
his nightly shoe-shine and turned in.

Electric Refrinera+ion-

A brine tank in place of ice. which
by means OF an electrical instrument
keeps a mean temperature in the re-
frigerator, is growing in popularity in
suburban and country places where ice
is difficult to obtain. It's advantages
are that it does away with the iceman,
it gives dry temperature advanta-
geous for the preservation of food,
and there is no slime, dirt or drip as
with the use of ice It is arranged TO
freeze a little ice for table use when
that is desired 1t is not an inexpen-
sive luxury, costing about $500 TO in
stall in any refrigerator.

withdraw within that time, he was at

of a thousand dollars TO the other. If
neither of US Withdrew by or before
the end of the year, 1 was to be at lib

project, and the agreement bound the
owner to turn over a One-fourth inter

AT the moment l was under engage

dictate. and l expected to be out of the
United States for at least six months,
and maybe longer As it turned out.
the South American job was a lot big
ger than l had anticipated and for
that reason the time limit Of a year
expired a week ago, on the day that 1
landed in New York. Yesterday l
called upon the Omaha banker, and he
gave me the cheering information that
my old man was dead-had died just
few days earlier"

wait; here comes the funny part
of it. Mr. Banker tells me solemnly
that 1 am remembered in my old gen
tleman's disposition Of some cash lega-
cies made just before his death, and
I'm to have the thousand dollars which
he put up as a forfeit. l took the prize
down and spent some of it within the
next few minutes wiring the old mans
home lawyer. whose name and address
the banker had given me. I briefed
the situation for the lawyer. said 1 was
ready to fulfill my part of the con
tract. and asked him to wire me the
name and location of the mine. You'd
never guess in a thousand years the
kind of an answer got"
l shook my head.
NO; probably not. What was it?'
1T was bolt from the blue all
right. Mr.. Home Lawyer wired that
his client had never owned u share of
mining stock in his life. that there was
nothing in his papers or records bear
ing upon the subject of my telegram,
and that 1 must be either drunk or
crazy. OF course he didn't put it just
that way in his reply, but that is what
he meant"
How do you sort it out? % inquired
1.-The lawyers telegram? / put it up
that my cautious, secretive old gentle
man never told anybody at home about
his mining investments; kept them in
a separate pocket, so to speak. Quite
possibly he didn't have any other ex-
cepting the one I've been telling you
about, and the one he regarded as a
dead cock in the pit. That would ex-
plain the situation nicely, don't you
think?'
The story had left me a bit logged
as to the present state and standing
of the thing. and I said so.
''Well, it stacks up about this way"
said Brown-beard. There is a per
fectly good mine somewhere west of
us that is worth anywhere from a
quarter to a half million. and at the
present moment it is kicking around
without an owner. So far as | can see.
I'm the only man on top of earth who
has a claim on any part of it. And |
have no more Idea than the man in the |
moon where 1t Is at No; I'm afraid |

To which he replied: law. there's

was strictly personal TO me: Grand
father Jasper had left me his love and
best wishes, and had willed the money
and property-all of it, mind you-to
Cousin Percy, giving as his reason
that he thought Percy would make
better use of it.
OF course, 1 had everybody's sympa-
thy and cOndolence-even Percy's. for
that matter. My mother wept; and.
as l recall it, Lfsette managed to com
pass tear or so when l told her what
had happened; or rather what had so
ANONYMOUSLY failed to happen.
Whatever will you do?" she fall
tered. Il suppose you will really have
to go to work now, won't you, Stan
nie?"
Perish the thoughtr' 1 told her
then l gave the good reasons why
there was no hope for us in that di-
rectiOn. "a fat chance I'd have to

bridge and the other great american

of my shining accomplishments.

at 1t rather regretfully. You can wear
it on some other finger. YOU know"

she agreed; and I'm blest if she didn't

right there and thenl
1t was less than a week after this
little fade-Out scene with Lisette that
Percy's letter came. This is what it
said:
Dear Stannie:
Il know just about how you felt
last week when you heard GRANDPA
Their Jasper's will read, and it isn't
going TO make you feel any better now
when / tell you that I knew of its pro
visions more than a year ago. When
the win was drawn grandfather
showed it to me. and gave me a sealed
envelope, which l was to open after
his death. That envelope, as l knew
at the time, contained. among other
things, a codicil to the will. BY its
provisions you are to receive legacy
under certain conditions which were
to be revealed to you at such time as I
might think best.
'Your portion of Grandfather Jas
per's property was worth, at its latest
valuation, something like $4,000. 1t
lies in a perfectly safe repository. stu

ence of a girl with brown hair and
blue eyes and small mole on her left
shoulder. n piebald horse which the
girl rides, and a dog with n split face
half black and half white. You viii
be more than likely to find the three
together; and if you make the ac-
quaintance of the girl, you'll be on the
trail of your legacy.

there's your fortune. All you've got
TO do is to go to work and find il. Per

prove To be the case.

over this screed of Percy's, taking it
for joke; poor joke and in rather
bad taste, l thought. In that mood |
