had come to say; her heart was
stormy now. She put her hand
suddenly on the glove. “That’s'

antly. “You’re in love with that ^
girl, Richard!” j
He turned toward her, meeting:
her glance coldly,
“Do you want me to prescribe !

he asked shortly.
She stood quite still, her eyes
fixed on his. For a moment, the
very forces of life teemed su

glass, she barely breathed. He
had nver seen her like this be

to laugh wildly, hysterically,
choking back her tears.
“Oh, how funny! Your blush

and she cringed from It as if she

wanted to cry, to throw herself
Into some one’s arms and cry
like a girl, but Mr. Gordon was
not receptive. He was there. He
had come in from the bank and
was sitting grimly upright in his
chair, reading the paper.
They had been sitting thus half
an hour when she heard the fa
miliar sound of the gate and
started up.
“Papa, It’s Nancy!”
He laid his paper on his knee.
The broad afternoon light fell
full on his worn face and his wife
was shocked.
They heard the door o’pen, a
light step, and Nancy came Into
the room. She was very pale but
her blue eyes shone. She came
slowly toward them and stood
still.
“I don’t want yon to worry any
more,” she said abruptly. “I
borrowed that money from Rich
ard Morgan. Roddy and I will
pay him back. I—I married him
yesterday."
Her mother dropped back into
her rocker, speechless, but her
father rose. His face turned
gray.
“What did you say?” he de

“I said I married Richard Mor

money to save Roddy.”

“I'm sorry I offended you,
Richard,” she said, with amazing
gentleness.
He nodded. “You haven’t."
She gave him an odd look, her
hand on the door. “Oh, yes, I

“Oh, Nancy dear, he doesn't
mean it!” Mrs. Oordon cried tim
idly. " ,
Nancy did not hear her. When
her father’s furious fist struck
the table she let go her hold upon
ft and drew back, staring at him,
fascinated. Then she turned slow
ly and started toward the door,
"Nancy!” her mother’s voice
quavered.
The girl did not answer her;
she turned and looked back at
her father. “We—we may keep
It secret—the marriage—Richard
leaves It to me.”
"Secret?" Mr. Gordon roared,
“secret? What’s this? Is he
ashamed of It already?”
Nancy gasped. "No,” she said
with white lips, “he isn’t—i
am!”
As she spoke she went slowly
out Into the hall and they heard
her going slowly upstairs. Mrs.
Gordon sank down again into her
rocker. Her husband marched
tnmultuously about the room. A
fancy, lace bordered sofa-cnshlon
caught on his sleeve button and
he sent it flying.
“Oh, Papa, you’ve broken Nan
cy's heart!’’
He swung -around on her, his
flushed face and standing hair
terrifying her.
“Heart? Broken her heart—
I’d—I’d like to thrash her!” he
bellowed,
“You’ll have a stroke, Wil
liam; you’ll have a stroke—it
you don’t stop!"
"Stroke be hanged!" he said,
and rushed to the telephone. He
had just thought of It.
He called up Richard. “Yes

amazed rose and Mr. Gordon smashed a
little glass paper-weight that had
fallen in his way.
"He’s going crazy,” she thought
feebly: then she remembered
Richard Morgan. He was coming
soon and there would be an ex
plosion worse than the one that
had greeted Nancy. What would
happen? Would there be an aw
ful scene? She did not know what
to make of this, but she had seen
Nancy's face. She summoned all
her courage.
“I don’t think it’s right to

“She’s done It all to save Rod

“You think of nothing but

♦ollows: Rockingham, Randolph,
Yadkin, Davidson, Forsyth, Sur
ry" and Davie.
Electrolux kerosene refrigera
tors are manufactured by Servel,
Inc., at Evansville, Indiana, and
are the counterpart of the Elec
trolux gas refrigerators manufac
tured by the same company, over
400,000 of which are in use In
cities and larger towns all over
the United States.
Like the gas refrigerator, the
kerosene refrigerator is air-cool
ed, and contains all the other
features which gives the Electro
lux gas refrigerator Its high
standing in the field of modern
household refrigeration.
The Electrolux kerosene re
frigerator was developed with
the idea of bringing a rural com
munities exactly the same serv
ice that the Electrolux refrigera
tor furnishes to the most up-to-
date of city homes. Practically
the only difference between the
two types of refrigerator is that
one Is operated by gas and the
other by kerosene. Each has the
same simple principle of refriger
ation, a tiny flame causing the
refrigerants to circulate, thereby
obviating the need of machinery.
Thus, there are no moving parts,
no friction, no vibration, no|
noise, no electrical connections,
no interference with the radio, no
flickering of lights.
The Electrolux kerosene refrig
erator has also been designed for
economy, the fuel for the burner
only costing a few cents a day.
The tank is easily filled, and
holds enough kerosene to last a
week or more.
