The lee season wus on, and n party
of young men and women were taking
advantage of It for skimming the icy
surface of one of those little hays ly
ing along the coast of Long Island
There were Harry Mono, Marjorie Kent
and Guthrie ITIgmore There were a
lot more, hut these three are the only
ones who figure iu this story. Prig-
more was rich, domineering and oue
of those reckless men whose reckless
ness Is usually folly
With women he
counted for far more than he wus lu
trlnsleull.v worth. Morro was modest
and. though cool, had u very keen ap
preciation of danger, especially of that
atteudiug ice boatiug Nevertheless he
was foud of sport: . and of no sport
was he more fond than this same gild
ing over Ice no steel runners
Prlgmore had Joined the party at the
Bay side hotel, a stranger to most of
them.
He hud not been there six
hours before every girl set her cap fo
him This didn't matter much for aus
of the men except Morro, who had
been attentive to Miss Kent, and thev
were supposed to he on the eve of an
engagement. When the party left the
hotel and went down to the lee boats
it was expected that each of the men
would take out a girl and that Harry
Morro would take Marjorie Kent
What did Prlgmore do without consult
ing preferences hut hand Marjorie on
to a boat and get on himself. This as
surance svas just what captured the
girls, and Marjorie couldn't help cast
ing a coquettish glance at her lover,
as much as to say. “ Isn't it nice to be
preferred by this splendid fellow to all
the others?” Harry looked anxious.
“ Have you ever run au ice boat, Mr.
Prlgmore?” he asked.
"1 was born ou one.” Prlgmore re
plied gayly, and. letting out the sail,
lie started, as he svas bound to do in
everything, to lead the party.
He
hadn’ t gone a hundred yards, however,
before his sail jibed, the boom just
grazing Marjorie’s head.
“ There’ ll lie trouble there.” mutter
ed one o f the men "H e doesn’ t know
tjosv to sail au ice boat.”
Most of the couples stopped to watch
the favorite A strong wind svas blow
ing from across the bay. Prigmore
and Miss Kent were well out ou the
i<*e when they were observed trying
very hard to do something, but what
was uot apparent.
“ Great heavens.” exclaimed Morro.
paling, “the sheet’s fouled the tiller!
He can’ t bring her up into the wind.”
On the opposite shore the breakers
had broken up the ice and were rolling
in on the sand. If the occupants of
the ice boat failed to release the sheet,
they could not bring the boat up into
the wind a ml they would go over the
p:'ge of the hard Ice and be pounded
with the broken pieces on the beach
Hut with the wind pulling on the sail
they were not likely to get it back
to disengage the sheet. Morro jumped
into an ice boat and started after then»
Now began a race between life and
death. Morro was an expert Ice boat
man and knew how to get the best
speed out o f his boat. He svas watch
ed anxiously by the party on the shore,
who kept the chased boat In view as
well. From the start he gained, but
could he catch tin couple before they
shot over the *»dgc of hard ice? The
only advantage he had was that their
efforts somewhat retarded the speed
of their boat.
In time Morro got within a hundred
; pet of them, they being within some
COO feet of the breakers, both boats
ilng at a tervitie speed. The sight
before them was awful. The breakers
rolled In. throwing up the anchor ice.
dashing It down, then sucking It un
der the Hoe for another break.
The party on the opposite shore stood
looking on in ghastly silence. Nearer
lad nearer Morro approached the 3 *acl»t
he chased, and nt last they could see
him. ns they supposed, fouled with It.
Then the two boats liegan to spread
apart, the sheet o f Morro’» lieing eased
off and making a sharp turn In which
only a considerable weight over the
raised skate kept the boat from going
aver.
.Morro had steered his yacht along
side of the other. Prigmore. without
waiting for Marjorie to save herself,
made a jump uud caught a projection
ou Micro's boat. Morro reached for
Marjorie an ' dress ' :>r safely over the
g *
ieu. «¡’ rectitig her and ITIgmore
to gel 'in the wind sard side, he spun
his Int it around sharply and prtt her
before the wind A crack In the loe
like a pistol shot heneaih the runners
made every heart stand still, but the
h eal way saved them, and in ten sec
onds more they were out of danger.
The sight o f the abandoned yacht
shooting over Into the broken lee and
pounded with It gave the n a shudder,
and they drew a deep sigh of relief.
Sailing before a fresh wind, it was
not long lie fore saver and saved ap
proached the parts standing on the
shore, svh * gave one veil of welcome,
the nil n throwing ip their hats, the
girls waving.
When they left the boat Marjorie
Kent fell on the neck of one of her
girl friends, hid her face and trem
bled. Prigmore’» assurance had given
place to a ghastly look of tenor. Mor
ro busied himself lowering the sail of
his bout.
There svas something in the narrow
escape that deterred the women from
venturing on the boats, and the party
returned to the city Morro was too
generous to tell of Prigmore’s having
s»\ed himself In place o f Marjorie
llarjorle tri«v| to keep the secret, but
failed. Prlgmore had come into the
party like a rocket and had gone down
like Its stick. He was not seen again
by any o f them, _

It is economical beeause’ it can be quickly turned off when not
needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light
burn, when not needed, to save bother of lighting and adjusting.
In some homes the electric light bill amounts to only about $2 per
month. You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less
money than electric light, but does it save you anything when jt
limits opportunities for work and recreation, ruins your eyesight,
smokes your wails, mars decorations and increases household work.
A ou can probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your
meals, but it wouldn’ t be economy. It is not wo much what you
save, but bow you save, that counts. We are always ready to ex
plain the “ ins and outs” of the lighting proposition to you. Call
on us or phone to us. We are never too busy to talk business,

Are You (Jp-to-Date on Paint?
The w ;y to p rofit by progress is to keep in step with it.
There is no more reason for mixing paint in the old-
fashioned hard, hand way than there is for plowing
with a stick, reaping with a cradle, or driving to town
for \<tur letters when there is a rural mail box on your
gate post.
Untiri-.g, unerring machinery does the work for you
now— far better and surer than human hands could ever do it.
