—Are made largely of Asphalt, As
bestos, Wool Felt and mineral
surfacing materials. Now the
Carey factories get their Asbestos
direct from Carey owned mines.
They use Asphalt and Slate in
many products and in enormous quantities, enabling them
to buy at minimum prices. They manufacture their own
felts.
Turning out millions of dollars’ worth of roll roofing
annually makes it possible to employ cost saving methods
not possible in a smaller plant. You get the benefit in
lower prices.
So we offer you roll roofings at a wide range of price, to
afford whatever length of service you wish to get at the
lowest possible cost for that service. There are Slate sur
faced, Mica surfaced and Rock surfaced roll roofings and
Asbestos Built-up roofs, each to meet a particular need.

TC'DITH CRANFORD and her estima
ble parents had been big game
hunting In the social Jungles of New
York for three seasons without bring
ing down the quarry. Edith, from the
time she hod begun to picture her fu
ture—and under the loving tutelage of
her parents she began very young-
had never looked forward to anything
less gilded than a millionaire for a
husband.
In her fourth season Edith Cranford
succeeded; this Diana of the Four Hun
dred brought down her millionaire. And
the “kill” had been worth all the effort
and the heart-breaking delay. Warren
Champlain was thirty years old, and
was encumbered with no near relatives,
was good-looldng and, for a man of
millions, remarkably intelligent and
well educated. Father find Mother
Cranford, when they heard the news,
were Jubilant. But over Edith there
soon stole a curious irritable Indiffer
ence. When finally she announced that
she would not marry Warren Cham
plain, after all, Father and Mother
Cranford were driven into a sort of
frenzy. But neither tears, hysterics,
threats nor pleadings would move
Edith. She wrote Warren a calm, brief
note' telling him that they “had both
been mistaken” and that “all must be
considered over between them."
Now Warren refused to be put off
with a few words written on (lie latest
style of note paper. He demanded an
interview with Edith, but she would
not see him and, after several stormy
scenes with her parents, slid was
packed off to her great-aunt Cynthia,
who had a country place in a retired
corner of New Hampshire.
Warren Champlain had little difflenl-
ty In finding out the place of Edith’s
retreat and one “all golden afternoon”
he came strolling up the driveway that
led to Miss Cynthia Van Busklrk’s
summer home. That ancient and wise
spinster luid, since the arrival of her
niece, been gkrlng her much sound ad
vice. As Editli sat on I lie piazza she
was turning over in her mind her
mint's words of wisdom. She heard
some one approaching, raised her eyes
and there stood the central figure in
her thought before her in person .
“You?" she cried, “why—"
"Yes. why?” lie echoed. "That is
just what I have come to Had out.” He
took a chair beside her and Imprisoned
one of lier hands in ills. She resisted—
but not strenuously. “Tell me, Edith,"
he said, “why have you broken with
me? Is It because you do not love me?"
The girl, exerting all her self-con
trol, said evenly: "No; It is because I
do love you that I cannot marry you.
You know what people say ofe me—
that I pursued you on account of your
money. And they speak the truth.
And then—when I found I really loved
you for yourself—oh, can’t you under
stand? How could I marry a man I
love under such circumstances? There
—have I sufficiently humbled myself?
Do you despise me enough now to go
on your way and forget that such s
creature as I ever existed?"
Warren actually smiled and Edith,
with an angry flush, rose as If to go.
"No, no," he said; "sit down here, you
Illogical little person) and listen to
reason. If you laid a trap for me, I
walked into It with my eyes open.
Don’t you suppose there were plenty
of people to warn me? I went in
eagerly and, Edith, I want to stay
there. Isn’t it Just as wicked to refuse
to marry a man whom you love, and
who loves you, because of his money ns
It would he to marry a man because of
Ills money whom you don’t love?’’
“Well, yes, I suppose so," faltered
Edith. “At least, that Is what Aunt
Cynthia says."
"Admirable and perspicacious wom
an,” said Warren. "Take me to her,”
"Well," said Miss Cynthia, when the
presentation had been made, “have
you young folks settled everything?
Have you brought this morbid young
lady to reason, Mr. Champlain?"
“Partially," replied Warren, “and I
rely upon her estimable aunt to com
plete the cure."
“But what will people say?” objected
Edith. ‘
“Say?" cried Miss Cynthia. "They
can’t say much more than they have
said already. And who are you, pray,
anyway, that you should begrudge the
tea-tables of New York a pleasing
piece of malicious gossip?"
“But my self-respect—" objected
Edith.
“Fiddledee!” exclaimed Miss Cyn
thia, “of all my aggravating relatives
—and they are nil aggravating—I be
lieve you are the most aggravating.”
Warren turned to Edith and said,
calmly and sternly: “Edith, what you
call your self-respect is. in this In
stance, merely an obstinate pride
which, if persisted in, will wreck two
lives.”
“Quite right," agreed the venerable
spinster, “’lliere—let us have no more
nonsense. You two run out on the
piazza and settle on the wedding day.”
When Miss Van Buskirk spoke in
that tone she was accustomed to belug
obeyed—and this occasion was no ex
ception to the rule.
