the best team, the highest wind mill and sv—
will even do the WASHING without a KICK if given a chance. In the AUTOMATIC WASHER we have a
REAL power WASHER and WRINGER. Remember this fact—it is NOT a hand power machine rebuilt. We
have a perfect control, so when engine is once started it need not be stopped until the washing is finished. The
operation of the machine is controlled entirely by the side lever and our patent clutch beneath the tub, doing
away with tight and loose pulleys and shifting belts, this clutch arrangement delivers power to the Washer and
Wringer as the side lever is shifted. No fly-wheel is used to shake the lift out of a machine, and all our gear

For all those children who are fond
of a little exercise no better gam#
than this can be chosen. When the
chairs are placed in order round the
room, the first player commences by
saying: "My master bids you do as
I do," at the same time working away
with the right hand as if hammering
at his knees. The second player then
asks: "What does he bid me do?"
The second player, working in the
same manner, must turn to his left
handed neighbor and carry on the
same conversation, and so on until
every one is working away with the
right hand.
The second time of going round the
order is to work with two, then both
hands must work then with three,
when both hands and one leg must
work then with four, when both
hands and both legs must work last
ly, with five, when both legs, both
arms and the head must be kept go
ing. Should any of the players fail in
keeping in constant motion a forfeit
may be claimed.

HER CHANCE
By JEANNE O. LOIZEAUX
(Copyright, 1910. by Associated Literary Press.)
They were talking about, their
daughter Dora, or the mother was.
The girl's father took his pipe from
his mouth, and answered his wife,
manlike, with another question. He
would have no nonsense about Dora.
"Where's Steve? I thought that
was good as settled? Young Storms,
may be all right, but he'd better stick
to the girls of his own class. He may
be playing with Dodie—I won't stand'
for that. What makes you think he's'
interested in her?"
"Well, he's brought her home from
the office a half-dozen times and
once when it stormed something aw
ful he stayed to supper—you remem
ber, and spent the evening. He
seemed to enjoy himself. I don't see
why he shouldn't be In love with
her, and marry her. She's the pret
tiest girl anywhere about, and we've
kept her sweet and ladylike. Being'
in an office hasn't seemed to spoil
her a bit, and it's been near a year
now." The father grunted incredu
lously, and his wife continued:
"Steve's all right—in his way. He
don't amount to so muoh. He hasn't
much to begin on—"
The man interrupted. "He's plenty
of sense and health and a good trade,
and no bad habits. She has always
known him—and that counts. He's
better off than I was when you
thought—"
"You—oh, you were different,"
said his wife, softly. "There was al
ways something about you. I'm not
sorry I took you, -if I have had to
work hard. But I'd like to give Dora
a better chance."
She did not say that Bhe had al
ready, with clever casualness,
dropped the information to her old
friend, Steve's mother, that Atwood
Storms seemed to like Dora and
brought her home, though she did
not mention that it had always been
when there was a bad storm, and
because he had to come that way
anyhow. The mother had told Steve
and the first little cloud appeared
Within three months from the time,
Dora's "chance" had been seen by
her mother a piano appeared in the
house, and the girl began taking les
sons, using part of the money she
had hitherto paid toward family .ex
penses.
Atwood Storms, a good amateur
pianist himself, came out one even
ing and played for them all. Dora
had told about the new instrument
and he was pleased by her childlike
pleasure—he was veiry young him
self, not twenty-one. He was gay
and jolly, liking the pretty girl, the
simple family. He came again, and
yet again, and it happened that on
each of these times Stephen Hollis
came for one of

tween the young people.
Dora's mother said little thereafter,
but she made up her mind. She
had been only a class behind At.
Storms' father in high school. He
was the son of poor parents his
phenomenal success in the law had
brought him money, but the little
woman did not see that his son's life
was removed in class from that of
her daughter.
Things in the family began to
change. The house was rearranged,
new articles appeared, there was less
comfort and more show. The mother
toiled, managed, Insisted on better
clothes for Dora, and made them
herself, for she was clever with her
needle. Nothing was said to the
children, but Dora began to wonder
if they could afford so much, and
her mother laughed and told what a
good manager she was getting to be,
hiding her anxiety. The father began
to work overhours at his carpenter
ing.
frequent calls,
saw the young man at the piano,
Dora and the others all about. He
stood a moment looking through the
window, and then went away. If
she wanted to throw him over for a
rich man's son—let her, but he
wouldn't show that he cared.
Thereafter Steve remained away.
When by chance he met Dora, he
lifted his hat, and passed unsmlling
ly by. Dora began to think. He had
not taken her anywhere for a long
time. Could he be—jealous? It made
her heart leap to think he might
care enough for that.
This Steve had been her "beau"
from childhood, though there had
been no words of marrying spoken be
tween them. Then, like sudden light,
her mother's scheme dawned upon
her. Nothing had been said to the
girl, but she saw now the reason un
derlying the new expense in the
home, the anxious planning, the over
work! It was for her—for her! Her
young cheek blazed with shame.
Could her poor mother have thought
Atwood Storms was really in love
with his father's stenographer, just
because he was reading law in the
office and saw her daily?
The girl knew his attentions had:
been no more than kind, but her in
terest in him was roused. Singularly
unspoiled heretofore, now a new self
consciousness came like pain. She
was unable to meet the young man
with her old simple frankness. She
was embarrassed her eyes avoided,
liis instinctively. He was puzzled,!
,"1 o'tcn foi'ght her face—once she

he glanced at her again, and again!
the colored. Did she think he was!
trying to flirt with her?
Then he very promptly forgot her.j
'or he was called to the phone.)
Elizabeth Towne, with to him made-!
juate excuse, cancelled her engage-!
ment for a drive with him. She had
been diffident lately. Immediately he
dashed out of the office, found' a
florist's shop, and sent flowers reck
lessly, enclosing a note to the effect
that he wanted her to be at home to
him that evening. He went back in
the rain to the office.
There, with his eyes on a law book.j
ind his mind on Elizabeth, the after-l
noon wore on, while Dora clicked at|
tier machine, and' saw the November!
irench of cold rain from the window.
3he would get wet going home, for)
she had brought neither umbrella1
aor raincoat. Then it was that her1
smployer, always considerate, took'
the matter into his own hands. He
same from the inner office In his,
storm coat.
"Atwood," he said to his son, "I've'
phoned\to your mother that I have to'
line with Brewster and talk business,
tonight. Davis will take me there,
ind return for you with the machine.
Close early and take Miss
home on your way—It's bad Weather."'.
Dora's mother, all excitement, met
her at the door. The, lights were not
yet lit, and the Interior was almost
dark, but Dora did not care—she was'
too hurt and angry.
"Mother," she said, in her direct
fashion, but quietly enough. "I have
iust seen what you are up to. If you
are fixing things up, and getting
things we can't afford—just to—get
Atwood Storms to come here, you,
can stop right now! I simply despise
him!"
She began to cry, the tears running/
over and blinding her to the presences
of Steve, who was standing just be
hind her mother. "Oh," the girl con
tinued, "I'm so ashamed of you for
thinking of such a thing that I could
die! And Steve must have heard of*
thta—and you've spoiled things for
him and me—"
"No she hasn't—nothing could. Do-1/
die! Don't you fear—" Steve came
toward her and put his big arms over1
iier shoulder protectingly. "Nothing
can come between me and you," he
said ungrammatically, but with feel-'
Ing, "till you say so, If you ain't,*
throwing me over for that whipper
snapper, it's all right—"
Here the mother came to her senses
and drew the little brothers who were
staring, all eyes, into the kitchen.
She consoled them there with a red
apple apiece, and went on with her
supper getting.
"Well," she said, hp if aloud to her
self, "I've given the girl her chance.
It's been hard work, I must say—and
If she don't want it, it'll be easier oni
us all. And Steve Is all right—"
In the dim little tawdry, over-be
decked parlor Dora and Steve thought
only of each other—they did not care
what anybody thought about them.

The Satirical Master of Trinity. :f
The Btories of the mordant wit of*
Doctor Thompson, late master of Trin
ity, are endless.
His hit at the present chief secre
tary for Ireland, when he was a Junior
fellow of Trinity, is classical: "Wei
are none of us infallible—not even
the youngest of us."
But it requires an eyewitness of the(
scene to do justice to the exordium off
the master's sermon on the parable off
tbe talents, addressed in Trinityf
Chapel to what considers itself, and'
not without justice, the cleverest con
gregation in the world: "It would be
obviously superfluous in a congrega
tion, such as that which I now ad-*
dress, to expatiate on the responsi
bilities of those who have five, or even
two, talents. I Shall, therefore, con-'
fine my observations to the more or
dinary case of those of us who haver
one talent."*-From "Collections at\d'
Recollections." Ji 34*
Reciprocity.
'How did that couple evnr make
love, for neither one is voluble?"
"That may be so, but you see, she has
Buch a speaking countenance, while his
money talks."

The young man sat beside her,
she was shy, silent, angry at her
mother who would, of coarse, exult In,,

outlined against the light. They had,
almost reached the little cdttage,

him like a little tigress and gave hlmj

oerely, having intended no insult. Of
course it was outrageous, and he)
knew it and said so.

ahe refused even his umbrella to

then, despite himself laughed. This,'
of course, was just the right way for
her to take a caddish trick. He
leaned back and the car went on its
way.
