PROLONG LIFE AND LOOKS OF GOOD WOOD FURNITURE

Better care of wooden house- hold furniture to make it last longer and avoid replacement, thus easing the strain on strategic lab. our, machinery and transportation, is recommended by the consumer information service at Ottawa.

Chief enemies of wooden furni- ture are summer moisture, and the dry heat of hcmss and apartmezvs in winter. ‘Ilhey cause lc-cse joints, loosening of V€11((‘l', warping and cracking in the furniture. Best uro- tection against both is oil-a gcod oil or polish that will seal the sur- face of the wood and pi-eseive it

There are good furniture pclishe= on the market, or a good and l.i- expensive one can be made at name by mixing one part turpentine wtzn two parts of boiled linseed 0.1 Polish that is bought ready’ mixed sliould be used according to direc- t ons.

Enhances Beauty

The turpentlnaoll mixture should be used at least twice a year on furniture which is varnished or oiled. The turpenttie 1n the mix- ture will loosen the dirt and grime which collects on furniture. and the oil will penetrate the wood pores and keep t-‘ne wcod in good candl- tlon. Not only will this mixture help in prolonging the life of wcod- en furniture, but 1t will add to its beauty and lustre, Apply with a soft cloth. Wipe off the excess with a. clean cloth, then fold this clolh over and use it to rub the wool surface until it is entirely dry and fingers will leave no marks.

If the wocd is badly soiled, it needs washing before polishing, To wash, use a mixture of three table- spoons of boiled linseed oil and one tablespoon of turpentine in a quart of hot water. You can keep the so- lution hot in a double boiler, Wash the wocd with a. soft cloth dipped in the solution, rub dry with an- other soft. cloth. cw the wood is ready for polishing, as described above.

Treat Scratcheg

Little scratches can be concealed. by rubbing each with a nut meat. as walnut, and there are commer- cial products which also do this job well.

If waxed furniture beccmes spot- ted or scratched, it should be wash- ed with turpentine before reivax-

White spots on varnished furnl. ture caused by water or hut. dis-hes can be removed by rubbing lightly with a pieoe of flannel dampened with spirits of camphor or essence of peppermint; or you can use-but very sparingly-a drop or .v,'o oi ammonia on a damp cloth.

CHAPTER X

As Anne started the steps to the store, the elder stnrekeeper, Sam rtoper, came out Ont/O the porch. _

"iViufli-III’, Miss Anne," he greeted her warmly.

"Good morning. I was wonder‘ whether I could stop in to see Mrs. Roper. How is she?"

"Just mlddlin’, but she's doin’ fair enough for a woman who's been abed moren three months. I know she'll be glad to see you. I'll take you over to the house."

The storekeeper led the way to s cottage across the highway.

Opening the front door, he called, "Mal Here's Miss Anne from over to Fleetwood.”

"Show her in, Sam," responded a thin, cracked voice from a room. ofi’ the hall.

He ushered Anne into the room.

Ashes Roper. a wrinkled old woman with straggling white hair. was sitting up in bed. Ln her claw- like hands were a glass and a

DOOII. "Just tekin’ a dose of hitters," she explained a. olcgetically.

“Always p0 n’ stummiok." complained sam. You'll be drinkin’ sheep dip next."

"Hush your chatter, Sam!"

He zrunied. shruzxed. and left the room.

Anne pulled s chair close to the bed. "I hope you're feeling better. Mrs. Roper."

"Law me! I'll be out of this bed come June," the old woman ex. claimed cheerfully.

Anne glanced down at a little two-year-old who was playing with blocks on the floor.

"How's little Elsa today?"

"She's fine, said Mrs, Roper.

HOWBl/Br. there was a note of bit- tcrness now in her voice and she regarded the baby on the floor with troubled eyes.

Elsa was her great-granddaughter, the child of her granddaughter, Martha Roper. Martha orphaned at an early age, had been brought up by her grandparents. Every in the neighborhod had known and loved the pretty, golden-haired girl.

Then, when she was eighteen, had come news which had shocked the county. Martha, unmarried. was to become a. mother!

She had refused to name the man who had betrayed her, fearing what her irate grandfather might. do. Sam Roper was a Breathitt. county man, with a mountaineefs code. Martha nad realized that to reveal the father of her cnlld would be the same as signing his death warrant-

Tragedy nad followed upon trag- edy, for Martha died a week after the birth of her baby. , of course. had only increased Sam's desire for vengeance. Though he never alluded to the matter now, he was ever on the alert for a clue to the identity of the baby's father. I-le had sworn that, if he ever discov- ered the man, he would kill him.

Anne thought of all this now as she gazed down at little Elisa, whose sweet, doll-like, face was framed by auburn curls, Absent-ly. she heard Mrs. Roper discussing the neigh- borhood news. Then, her attention swung back sharply w the sick

woman.

Agnes Roper, cocking her head on one side like an inquisitve crow, was saying, "I've been hearin’ th about Fleet-wood,"

Anne knew that the state ‘ was really a question-the question
