('IIAITHIt VIII It was a still clear morning, but autumn was in the air and a pale sun lacked the decennary heat to melt a tkln of -lee .which, durlit'g the night, hod covered stagnant pools. The damp moss which car pets northern forests was lionry wllh frost nnd It cracked under foot. Winter was near nnd its un mtMakable approach could he plainly felt. A saw-pit had been rigged upon a slyoplng hillside consisted of (four posts about six feet long, upon wjiu'u ii hi oeen mici ronr si ringers, like the sills of a house; up to Ihls seaiTiild h d u pnlr of inclined skids. Itesttng upon the stringers was a sizable spruce log which hurl been squared and marked wllh parallel chalk-llne and Into whlr h a whip Haw h id eaten for several feet. Malaneed upon this log was Tom Linton; In the sawdust directly un der him stood Jerry tjulrk. Air. T.lnton glared downward, Mr. tjulrk squinted fiercely upward. Air. I.tuton showed his teeth In as ugly grin and his voice was hoarse with fury; Mr. Qiilrk'w gray mustanho brlsled with rage, and aJiger had raised his conver sational tone to a rlgh pilch. Hoth ineii were perspiring, both were shaken to Ihe core. "Don't shove!" Mr. Quirk ex claimed, lu drill. Irritation. "How many times d'you wunl me to tell you not to shove?

"I'm a putieni man, but" He swallowed hard, then with dif ficulty voiced u H&lcm vibrant warning, "Don't say It ugatn, thui'3 all!' Defiance instantly flamed In Jerry's watery eyes. "I'll say It If I want to!" he yelled. "I'll say anything I feel like snyin'!

Astonishment momentarily rob bed .Mr. Quirk, of speech, then ho broke out more indignantly than ever, "Why, you lyln' horse-thief, you never heard of a whip-saw ;HI we bought our outfit, you was or tvlng one end to a Hml and the other end to a root nnd then rub bin' the log up and down It." I never meant Hint. I Was fool ing nnd you know It. That's just like you, to-" "Kay.

Tom I.tnton checked an Insulting remark that had just ocenred to him. It h:td nothing watever to do with the subject under dispute, but It would have goaded Jerry to Insanity .therefore it rlumored for expression nd the tempatlon to hurl II forth was almost Irresisti ble. Unton. however, prided hlm setf upon lh! self-reslrutnt and ac cordingly he swallowed his words. He. clicked his teeth, he gritted them he would have enjoyed siug tntf them into his partner's throat es a matter of fact then e grow led, "Let her v.hi-v'" In unison tho men resumed their Intirrupted labors; slowly, rhyth mieully, their arms moved up and down, monotonously their aching hacks bent and straightened, inch by Inch the saw blade ate nlong the penciled line. R was killing work, for It called Into play unus ual, under-developed muscles, yes, muscics wliieh did not and never would or could exist. Kach time Mnton lifted the saw It grew hea vier by the fraction of a pound. Whenever Quirk looked up note progress his eyesi were filled with stinging particles of sawdust. His was a tenreful job; sawdust was in his hair .his beard. It had sifted down inside his neckband and it Itched his moist body. It had worked Into his underclothes end he could not escape It even at night In his bed. He had of late acqui red the habit of repeating over andover, with a pertinacity in tensely Irritating to his partner, he could taste sawdust In his food a statement manifestly false and well calculated lo offend a camp cook.

Read Below How Fully the "EASY" Embodies These Four Cardinal Points The "EASY" washes ALL of the family wash clean. So do some other washers but in the "EASY"' wool blankets anil other fluffy materials come out with their downy nnd fluffy surfaces restored. The same applies to flannel materials be cause there is no rubbing or applied friction, which has a ten dency to harden the surface of materials of this character. Shirt cuffs, collars and bands need no hand rubbing. Sheer and dainty things could not bewashed more carefully by the housewife using her hands as suction cups in the bathroom wash linsin because the three suction cups in the "EASY" gently force soap suds back and forth through the mesh sixty times per minute. The "EASY" also thoroughly cleanses badly soiled overalls and similar things. The "EASY" eliminates the labor, drudgery nnd mess that ' usually accompanies the washing. There is no lifting of heavy parts. No cleaning of parts or corners after the washing is completed. The "EASY" is very readily moved about. It occupies but very little floor space. The safety switch on the "EASY"" is a very important fen- ' tmv. It is so designed that if the washer or wringer is over loaded or otherwise mishandled, the safety switch instantly stops the motor and the washer, and re-fuses to permit the , "EASY" to be overtaxed. This prevents damage to the washer and the clothes. FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY DOWN EASY TO TAY FOR The "EASY" is correctly designed from an engineering point of view It is made entirely from copper, aluminum brass and steel. No wood is used. The workman is of the highest character, and consequently the "EASY" will serve for years to come. 0 The large round copper tank of the "EASY" has a law capacity, adjustable to small, medium or large loads No co '- SSTnSS accurau,ate soapy watcr- " is St All moving parts are inclosed.
