Wash Day Afternoon in the Park.
Afrs. Com Plaint — “Did yon see that Mrs. Smith pass by?
Here it is wash day and she is trotting the children
out for an afternoon in the park.”
Mrs. Nocker — “I suppose her house is full of unwashed
clothes. She ought to stay home and clean up, as
we do.”
Anty Drudge— “My dear ladies, Mrs. Smith’s wash is all
done and dried. She uses Fels-Naptha Soap. Do the
same, and you will be able to go out to the park, wash
day afternoon, too.”
Ask the woman who knows
Fels-Naptha to go hack to the drudgery of
the old-fashioned wash-day.
Not she! Fels-Naptha means too
much to her. She knows too well what a
labor saver it is—what an economy.
Fels-Naptha actually does most of the
wash for her.
Instead of boiling or scalding and hard
Hibbing in the old way, she simply soaps
them well with Fels-Naptha, in cool or
lukewarm water and soaks about 30 min
utes. Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt.
Her wash-day starts after breakfast and
ends at noon instead of at supper time.
Fels-Naptha saves fuel; saves clothes.
And when the wash is done, she is
fresh and happy and the clothes are far
cleaner, than if she had boiled and hard
rubbed them for a whole day.
Be sure to use Fels-Naptha the
Fels-Naptha way —in cool or lukewarm
water.
Follow the directions on the red and
green wrapper. Use any time of year.

BROADWAY JONES > S'..
Based on George M. Cfohan’s Great Play Now Running in New York
By BERTRAND BABCOCK.
TODAY’S INSTALLMENT.
Judge Spotswood had met Broadway
and Wallace at the station and had es
corted them to the "Grand" hotel. They
had declined his invitation to dinner as
they wished to “wash judge’s
expression. Broadway had registered at
tlie hotel as “B. Jackson,” the judge told
his wife, as she set her "what not” in
order and rearranged the rather ugly fur
niture that had come from a New Haven
department store. She wanted every
thing to be "slicked up" before Jones and
Wallace arrived for the evening.
“Charley Gilroy, the hotel clerk, got off
a good one,” concluded the country law
yer as he narrated Broadway's arrival to
his wife.
She began to laugh in anticipation.
"I had to laugh, too," drawled the judge
in his gentle voice. "You know Gilroy’s
very witty. He’s from Bridgeport.”
“Well," demanded Mrs. Spotswood
sharply.
“Well, what?” returned the judge, mov
ing his fingers dazedly through his white
hair
"What was Gilroy's good one?” she
asked.
"Oh, 1 see, Mqm. I’m so worri—think
ing of Well, anyway. Broadway’s’frlend
wanted to know if they could have their
supper served in their room, and Char
ley asked them if they wanted him to go
up and feed them.”
Mrs. Spotswood ignored the wit of the
nTan from Bridgeport. She wanted to
know if Broadway had said anything
about selling the plant, how he looked, if
he really were going to be married as
“old .Miss Smyth" had said—
She c uldn’t learn much from the judge,
as lie and the two friends had not talked
much. Broadway had merely said that he
wanted to close up his affairs and get
back’ to New York.
Then turning from Ids wife to his
daughter Clara, a pretty, dark girl of
nineteen, the judge asked her to go to
Josie ’Richardson's house. Josie was to
be invited to drop in at the judge's dur
ing the evening.
Clara was just going to the door on
her way out when the bell rang. She
opened the door. A young man whom
she recognized as Broadway stood there,
another with him. Broadway asked for
the judge. Clara al the giggling ago, tit
tered promptly. Then:
"He’s waiting for you. Right in the
parlor. Don’t you remember me, Mr.
Jones?"
FRIENDLY GIGGLES.
A return to prosperity had driven troni
the mind and face of Broadway all care.
He allowed himself to give way heartily
to his really friendly feeling.
“Well, what do you think of that? Why,
you were a little girl the last time I saw
you," he exclaimed and presented Wal
lace.
Clara giggled aud the naturally stern
and serious features of Wallace relaxed.
He gazed at Clara in a.sort of dumb, won
dering appreciation of a new element in
his life, and then responded with the
nearest approach to a giggle that Broad
way had ever seen in him.
Lingeringly. Clara left the house, and
lingeringly Wallace followed Broadway
ir.'o the parlor.
The greetings were hearty and homely.
Mrs. Spotswood and Wallace were soon on
the most friendly of terms.
For the supposed grief of Broadway at
tlie loss of his uncle, Mrs. Spotswood was
quickly sympathetic.
”(t was all over very sudden, wasn't
it?" she asked.
A vision of Mrs. Gerard crossed the
memory of Jackson.
"Eh?- -What”— he stammered, a suspi
cious eye upon Mrs. Spotswood’s face.
GREATLY RELIEVED.
“I mean about your uncle," said the
motherly soul.
“Oh, yes, yes, too bad." the relieved
Jones answered heartily.
In b: r best "company manner” the two
friends were asked by Mrs. Spotswood if
they wanted a glass of milk and some
cake.

“YVhpt is your favorite flower, duke?”
asked the heiress. “But. I ought to
know that without asking.”
“Well, what should it be?”
’’The marigold.'
An old woman, having purchased
otne pigs' feet at a provision counter,
left the establishment forgetting to
take her purchase. A small boy who
happened to be in the shop was told by
the assistant to call her back. The ur
chin ran with all speed, and, having
overtaken her, said, breathlessly:
"Please, ma’am, ye left yer feet aftei
ye on the counter.”
While crossing a city street a farmer
was knocked down by a motor car. Be
fore he could get out of the way he
was knocked down again by a motor
cycle. which came rushing along be
hind.
A friend of his on the pavement yell
ed to him:
"Why didn't you get out of the way?”
"How in the dickens did I know it
had a colt following it?”.was the angry
response.
A mission worker in New Orleans was
visiting a reformatory near that city
not long ago when she observed among
the inmates un old ac quaintance, a ne
gro boy long thought to be a model of
Integrity.
“Jim!” exclaimed the mission worker
“Is ft possible I And you here?”
“Yassum.” blithely responded the
backslider. “I’se charged with stealin’
a barrel o’ sweet pertaters."
The visitor sighed.
“You; Jim?” she repeated. "1 am
surprised!"
“Yassuin,” said Jim. “So was i. or I
wouldn’t be iteic*-"
Broadway and Wallace smiled a refusal,
as into the minds of both entered many
pictures in which they had not bad cake
and milk
“Well, I'll make a pitcher of lemonade
anyway." she said, and left them.
Wallace and Broadway strode over to a
picture of Broadway's uncle which was
hanging on the wall, while the judge dis
patched his “hired man" to the drug
store with the Injunction to "get six good
cigars for this quarter.”
The three men were soon seated at a
table. From motives of delicacy, inspired
largely by Wallace, the two younger of
the group had refrained from going
straight to the point of their business.
The judge, too, did not seem eager to
pass to a height from which the future
of Jonesville would be seen. Watched
earnestly by Broadway Jones, he reached
into his pocket and produced not docu
ments. as Jackson hoped, but a flask.
“I thought maybe you boys would tike
a little drop," he said with a glance of
timidity in the direction of the kitchen.
“Don't say anything about ft to Mrs.
Spotswood. She'd raise thunder if she
thought I brought it into the bouse. She’s
an awful temperance crank.”
With smiles. Jackson and Wallace de
clined to sip at the liquor, which they
fancied the village druggist bad made in
his own cellar. The judge slipped it back
into his pocket. Then came at last to the
Issue:
“You know, very few people imagined
this boy”—he indicated Jackson with a
jerk of his head "would come in for It
all.”
With keen interest Broadway leaned
forward.
"You know, judge, i always thought the
old gentleman hated me," i> said.
• HOME FACTS.
The lips'of Spotswood were pursed for
a whistle. A moment later he said, -g
--orously:
“No, siree. Os course, he didn't like
the Idea of your not wanting to take
up the partnership where your father left
it off. He'd never have bought you out
only he thought that you'd sell to some
one else. I knew —I was in his con
fidence for years. He didn’t want you to
go to New York, either, for fear you’d
squander your money, but he was really
very fond of you—naturally he would be
—never married, no children of his own.
He used to feel hurt that you never cared
to see him. but be always felt that the
plant belonged to you. Y’ou know your
father was the one who really made the
success. He was the active man—the
hard worker. If he’d lived there wouldn't
be any Chewing Gum trust today unless
he was the head of It. Your uncle was
willing enough, but he didn’t have the
capacity’ for the work. That' why you
got everything - because your uncle fig
ured your father was responsible for it
all, and that's the real reason he never
let it go to tlie trust.”-*
Broadway shifted from side to side in
his seat tn his impatience, yet lie did not
care to ask the one question that was in
his mind. Wallace, with a grim smile at
this anxiety, came to Broadyay’s rescue
with:
"It must be an immense fortune, isn’t
it, judge?"
"Tlie Consolidated people offered twelve
hutldred thousand dollars for the plant
and the trademark," was the judge's re-
■ ply.
“I know,” broke in Broadway in a
tone that was almost impertinent, "but
Mr. Wallace means aside from tlie gum
business.
Verging on apology was the explana
tion of Spotswood now. He continued:
“Well, you see those trust fellows have
been so anxious to get the Jones gum
that they've been making ft pretty warm
lately. They knew we bad a big fund
for advertising purposes, but they killed
that for us two years ago with one of
tlielr business tricks.”
A SCURVY TRICK.
Plain alarm showed on the face of
Jackson.
"What do you mean?" lie said tensely.
“Well, they sent in such a demand on
us,” answered the country lawyer, "that
we added to the -size ol the p’ar.K at.d
spent the money for machinery We
never realized that it was anything but
a legitimate increase until the sudde.fi
smash came. Then we went back to the
normal demand and laid off our extra
force and found ourselves with superfluous
machinery and five useless packing sheds
on our hands and no advertising done
all that year."

whole year without advertising aroused
the professional pride of Wallace, and his
interest as well.
“Can you Jieat that?” he exclaimed.
"Just shows how much chance the little
advertiser lias got."

judge explained slowly to Jackson.
in utter silence the youtli who had
paid his little/fortune for a Broadway
reputation sat for a moment, comforting
himself with the reflection that the gum
trust was still in existence and wanted
his plant.
ONLY THE PLANS
’Then aside from tlie chewing gum busi
ness itself lie left very little,” was the
audible cnrelrsion of B'-e-o’v. ny.
The judge's answer was decisive:
"Nothing at all. I believe tlie plant 1
showed a profit last year. I expect Miss'
Richards here shortly. She can tell you I
exactly what it was. Sb •'.< got ii a I r

trouble obtaining a satisfactory jury.
There seemed to In something against

"Is there any reason why you

“Yes,” came tin- reply, as the juror- |
