a
shadow seemed to gather over her
brows, "No, come to think of it, 1

"Why, daughter, you amaze me,"

"Yes, you are very young—too
young to marry—not too young to

candidly. "I never thought to ask

The mother laughed. "And this

During the month or so that follow*

She crept lightly Into the hallwaH

hung a curtain. Screened within its

Bovee Furnaces at Manufacturers' Prices
Ours are tHe Only Furnaces Having a
Perfect Ventilating System.
We make the combustion chamber, the return circulation radiator and every
part of the ECONOMY FURNACE very large in comparison to the fire pot. This
makes them the most durable and economical of any furnace in use and causes them
to supply a perfect balmy air, similar to May or June. This very large combustion
chamber, perfect combustion in burning wood, coke, or any kind of coal, the long
travel of heat before reaching the chimney, causes these furnaces to actually require
only about ONE-HALF THE FUEL USED BY OTHER FURNACES.
Don't compare our prices with small, cheap furnaces that do not have one-half
the capacity. Measure the fire pot, measure the combustion chamber, measure the
compound circulating radiator. Note the long travel of heat before reaching smoke
pipe. See why the Bovee Furnaces last longer, use less fuel, and cost less in com
