Lump coal is NOT necessarily the
best coal out of mine-it Is NOT
necessarily the cream of the coal
1t simply is coal less violently
thrown by the miners blast, and
more gently handled in the mine
cars and plant. The popular belief
that lump coal must be harder and
therefore more valuable because
it withstands rough handling Is
absolutely without foundation
Coal stays in Jumps solely through
fortunate blasting and careful
handling.
Each blast yields both lump and
nut coal and both sizes are exactly
the same quality. Nut and lump
from the same mine are exactly
the same quality-the size and
shape Of the coal has nothing to
do with its heating or lasting
quality.
We sell both lump and nut sizes
we can supply you with either.
We, frankly, have the welfare Of
our patrons at heart and invite
those who now buy lump and who.
therefore, suffer the extra cost Of
lump-the penalty Of blind pref
erence-to consult our coal ex-
pert. Tell him just how and
where you burn coal and ask him
what nut or combination Of nut
Goals he would recommend. Often
his recommendation proves better
and the saving in cost will graft
fy you.

Beatrice, just back from riding with
Bromfield, stood on the steps In front
Of the grilled door and stripped the
gloves from her hands.

IRE Of ease, an altogether desirable
catch In the matrimonial market His
dark hair, parted in the middle, was
beginning to thin, and tiny crows
feet radiated from the eyes, but he re-
tanned the light, slim figure Of youth.
II ought not to be hard to love Claren-
don Bromtield, his fiancee reflected.
Yet he dlsappointingly failed to stir
her pulses.
She smiled with friendly derislon.
"Poor Claryl You don't look like a
Yesuvius ready to erupt. You have
such remarkable self-control."
His smile met hers. II can't 90 up
and down the street ringing a bell like

breath, famed red, and plunged on.
Her level eyes never fllnched from his.

Her smile met his. Then, lest bar

put her horse to a gallon.

muffier open. The horse upon which
Beatrice rode was a young one. 1t
gave instant signals Of alarm, went
sunflshing on it's hind legs, came down
to all fours, and bolted.
Beatrice kept her head. She put her
weight on the reins with all the grip
OF her small, stropg hands. But the
horse had the bit In its teeth. She
felt herself helpless, flying wildly down
the road at incredible speed. Bushes
and trees, the Keeling road, limousine,
mounted policeman, all flew by her
with blurred detail.
She became aware of the rapid thud
of hoofs behind, of figure beside her
riding knee to knee, of brown hand
taking hold of the rein close to the bit.
The speed slGNkened. The horses
pounded to halt
The girl found herself trembling.
She leaned back In haze-o dizziness
against an arm which circled her
shoulder and waist. Memory Ieaped
across the years to that other time
when she had rested in his arms, his
heart beating against hers. In that
moment of deep understanding of her
self, Beatrice knew the truth beyond
any doubt. A new heaven and a new
earth were waiting for her, but she
could not enter them. For she herself
had closed the gate and locked 1t fast.

They trembled on the edge of self

emotions.

Beatrice felt queer joyous lift in
side her as of some weight that had
sgone. In a single breath Johnnie had
blown away the mists Of misunder-
standing that for weeks had clOuded
her vision. Her heart went out to
Clay with rush Of warm emotion.
The friend she had distrusted was all
she had eyer believed him. He was
