Anty Drudge Saves Valuable Lace.
Mrs. Hon&nmj. ‘Here I’ve boiled and rubbed this lace
and the coffee stains are in it yet. I’m simply afraid
to do a thing more to it. It looks weak already,
guess it’s a goner. ”
Antv DrwLqte ‘Not if you will take my advice. Rut
you’ve certainly given it a cooking, take that boiler
off the range, fill it with cool water, rub the lace with
Fels-Naptha and soak it a short time. Then rub it
lightly and rinse it. The stains will all be gone and
the lace’ll look as good as new.”
“Boil until tender” is what all the
cook books say.
Boiling makes most anything tender,
even hard wood.
And that's precisely what boiling does
to your clothes.
Makes the fibre tender. Then you
wonder why your clothes tear so easily and
wear into holes so soon.
How else will you get your clothes
clean?
Fels-Naptha dissolves and loosens the
dirt in cool or lukewarm water, without
hard rubbing.
No hot water, no boiling, in summer
or winter.
It’s such an easy way of washing;
makes the clothes cleaner, whiter and purer
and they wear twice as long.
Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha
and follow directions on the red and green
wrapper.

In due time the women came into au

stern lady who presided on the bench,

some of my girl friends.’’
Make haste as rapidly as you can to
those girl friends and ask their for

seeks your company grant it. and if

The Ax and the Tree.
Paul Saxe walked down the deserted
little street that led to the shop at the
Sign of the Toby Jug. The afternoon
was smiling and pleasant, one of those
late February days that delight in mas
querading as May. He wore his favorite
gray, his Homborg hat was set at a
ragish angle, and in his coat was a
carnation of a subtle shade of pink. His
whole aspect as he strode along in that
easy, loose-limbed stride of his. was well
worthy of the original adjective applied
to him—he looked positively a radiant and
beautiful vision in that dreary little
street.
The mental attitude of Mr. Saxe, how
ever. lacked that pleasant ease which his
outward bearing displayed. He felt some
thing as near uneasiness as his sanguine
mind ever experienced—an uneasiness
that was not altogether unmixed with
fear. The simile of a cat who, dozing
on the hearth rug. dreams of the turning
of the tables and goes in terror of her
life before the menacing advance of a
stalking mouse, would probably rfieet the
case exactly.
He had been summoned to the Toby
Jug that afternoon. There w'as no other
way of putting the matter. Not “Will
you kindly” or "If it is convenient, sir,”
but "Please call at the shop this after
noon on a matter of business.”
Os course, it was preposterous. He
must read Jex a sharp lesson. Yet it was
significant that It had not occurred to
Paul Saxe to refuse that request.
What had occurred to him more than
once as he walked was that lately Jex
had appeared to be getting a bit out of
hand. Ever since the affa'r of Sir George
Lumsden—that very clumsily maneuvered
suicide in Dieppe—as a matter of fact. It
had showed itself In various ways, this
spirit—in a certain insistence on the
rights of "Little Bess.” the red haired
imp of evil he was supposed to acknowl
edge as his daughter.
For all the radiance of his look, there
was a very ugly expression in Paul Saxe's
eyes. His flexible, well colored lips were
set in a rigid line as he pushed open the
door of the shop and went in, letting
it bang behind him with a great ringing
of the sharp-voiced little bell.
No one came out in response to the
bell's warning Only Leah, the big gray
cat asleep on the counter, on which the
dust lay thickly, rose amicably to greet
him. yawned with a vast display of red
mottled mouth and age-revealing teeth,
and. lumping down, stalked solemnly be
fore him to tile glass door of the parlor.
Samuel Jex. it may be stated here, had
net for a moment intended that it should
have been left to Leah, the gray cat, to
welcome and entertain Paul Saxe on his
arrival at the Toby Jug. When he had
issued his peremptory request for the
financier's attendance to Armadale street
he had fully Intended to be present with
the particular item of business referred
to in that request ready for discussion.
it began with the taxicab. It hid
seemed to Jex that the occasion war
ranted extravagance of such a vehicle.
He was going to call upon a personage.
That in itself, perhaps, would not have
affected Jex very greatly. What made
of this morning a true festival day was
the fact that he saw within a few hours
of him the pulling off of that great coup
(or which he had been working so long
In a few hours he would have shaken off
the chains of his bondage forever. In a
few hours he would be the master of his
master!
Walking up into Victoria street he had
hailed a cab from the rank outside the
army and navy stores.
His destination was the large house
outside Regents Park which Prince Ser
gius Karazoff had rented for the last
three years ever since, in fact, the tragic
suicide of his young wife had made him
a voluntary exile from his own country
and from society The prince was a man
of science, who used the big laboratory,
built out over a large part of what had
once been a garden famous for its beau
ty. very seriously indeed. But it was not
as scientist Samuel Jex was going to con
sult with the prince.
A Personal Affair.
It was on a matter intimately per
sonal to his serene highness—a matter
touching the honor of the dead and the
vile dishonesty of the living—a matter
which, as Samuel Jex thought over it in
the fastnesses of the cab. caused him to
smile that evil smile of his. in the pro
cess of which his eyebrows went up too
high and his nose came down too low
over his chin and transformed him into
a laughing satyr far from pleasant to
Then, at the Oxford street end of Great
Portland street, the taxicab had smashed
into a private landau standing outside a
shop. There had been an ugly crash, a
narrow shave for the driver and Jex
himself, that had necessitated a delay of
quite an hour. Then when, late for his
appointment, he reached Gensing Lodge,
the prince was engaged, and he had to
wait, kicking his heels and nursing his
wrath to keep it warm for another cou
ple of hours.
Not that it had needed artificial stimu
lation. this hatred against Paul Saxe that
had lain close and hidden in his heart
ever since that day in New York, years
ago now. often Saxe—not a great" man
himself then, but merely secretary to the
wife of a great man—had surprised him
in his very ingenious and quite profitable
scheme of money making, which had con
sisted in the occasional and adroit sub
stitution cf a paste replica among the
stones of the very valuable jewelry he
was called upon to repair in the great
jeweler's where he was employed.
Saxe had been extraordinarily mag
nanimous—at a price, a long, long price.
Well, that debt would soon be paid.
When the first glimmering possibility
of this repayment had come to Samuel
Jex, in the mental intoxication that had
come upon him, he had sent that mysteri
ous message tinkling over the telephone
wires: "Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee." Not that night,
as it had happened, nor for many nights,
had the time for payment come, but it
had come now.
And at one time it had seemed to Jex
that Paul Saxe would pay the price with
the long drop and the hangman’s noose;
for more than three months he had been
morally certain that Paul Saxe had been,
if not the actual murderer of Fltz
stephen, at least the instigator of that
murder. Subsequent events had weak
ened that belief. Nor was John Rimlng
ton. the convicted man, guilty, he was
convicted of that—but neither was Paul
Saxe. He had probed and wormed and
watched and spied, and for all that he
could find Saxe, if anything, had been a
loser rather than a gainer by the money
lender's death.
