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. WAY TO RENT YOUR ROOMS: USE THE GEORGIAN “RENT BULLETIN” 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. Up-to-Date jokes Waiter—Here is our bill of fare, sir Farmer Jones (in from the country)- Now. I ain't goin’ to pay no bill o' fare till I’ve had something to eat. Henry Peck—Do you think you can make a good portrait of my wife? Mr. Brushaway —My friend, I can make it so lifelike you’ll jump every time you see her. “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."

Al*- ktonvilla, F’a. 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." "Your uncle put up a good light." eon- I tinned the judge to Jackson. lie turned down every offer they made, of course, he'd contracted so many and such heavy debts during the time of tlie fake de mand that ho had t i get a lot of quick money in order to d-> business and con tinue.

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.

Twelve good men and true were wanted, but the court had considerable trouble obtaining a satisfactory jury. There seemed to In something against each of tlie persons who had been called. "Is there any reason why you shouldn't act impartially toward the prisoner?” asked the official, wlnm an other man’s turn came round for exam- 1 ination. “Yes,” came tin- reply, as the juror- | who-nilght-have-been pointed toward a ' person in the well ~f the court.
