PAGE TWO THE BARRIER By Augustus Goodrich Sherwin (Copyright, 1918, Weatern Newspaper Union.) He had known sorrow and disap- pointment, false friendship and pov- erty. Wealth had finally come to him, but the aching void in his heart had not been filled until in a quiet, seashore village he had met Regina Ashleigh. Eyes like the sea were hers, a face classic as a molded Roman medal. Arden Morse came to the home Re- gina made with humble worthy peo- ple one day, and suggested a walk along the beach. He knew the spots of beauty and solitude, and the shade of a wooded cliff were grateful to her as he constructed an impromptu settee. “I have something I must say to you,” he began serlfously. “I was im- pelIed a week ago to tell you how I yed you. You spoke of a barrler, % kndly you never use A wWord of raseé supérflclally 1t is well—you W your mind. There shall be no furthef afiioyance—" & “Oh, no| she sald, looking into his eyes, her hand resting upon hig own. “Disobedience, then,” he substituted, forcing a smile, “I ask you to forget :_? words. I am content to be with you, near you, to drink in your presence ind lve glorified because you are ' ‘my true friend. If thus unifled, though parted by some degree I don't seek to fathom, We pass through life together, I will bless its fullness.” - The glow in her eyes, roused from thelr fosced calmness, seemed to ab- sorb him, Her words, tremulous with éinbtion, repatd him for his great sac- rifice. “I thank you,” she sald, “for %q have lost you utterly would have een bilght and darkness. You bless my life—so weary, oh, 8o hapless and troubled I” “And call me to your side, command all T am and possess when my loyalty cnn save you one pang of sorrow. . And 80 I am content and we have found peace.” That was all, friends ; yet each knew that absolute love was theirs, The very wholesomeness and purlty of their ideals was perfect, su§taining—Ilife im- maculate, kiss or caress banished, but present a higher, a nobler instinct of utter harmony that fed the soul with the manna of mutual sacrifice glorified. r He never sought to read her closed book of life. Every month for a week she was gone; he never asked her why or whither. Her face was a shade more serious when she returned. One day when e called at her home he was told that she was {ll, His anxiety grew to-grief and deep concern when the physician apprised him that she was prostrated with a wasting fever. “My patient is in delirilum a great portion of the time,” he told Morse, #and what is aggravating her condition is some secret mental trouble. I caught a name constantly- from her lips. Baynham-—something connected with this person Is constantly tortur- Ing her. She raves of him. $he spegks of the month passing and of money #he must take to this Baynham. She names, too, Degert island. That is one of those desol , isolated rocky areas off the Maine coast.

When ever we speak ‘ of Pipeless furnaces, please remember, there is but ONE to us, and that is the UNIVERSAL PIPELESS The theory of using long pipes to convey the heat to different parts of the building has been proven unnecessary. According to natural law’ —heat travels upward and the Universal Pipe- less is built to conform with-the law of nature. Where long pipe are used, an expensive method, the law of nature has been violated and the ' result will be a terrific loss of heat in the base- ment where it is not needed. When a pipeless furnace is installed a cool basement is always assured, due to the fact that the entire furnace is surrounded by a cold air chamber, - THE THREE ESSENTIALS to any furnace are: CONSTRUCTION, COM- BUSTION and CIRCULATION. The Universal excells in all three of these essentials. Espe- cially do we wish to call your attention to the circulation. You know that the UNIVERSAL must be properly built. - CIRCULATION is the chief factor with the UNIVERSAL pipe- less furnace and the one great item which fur- nishes the comfort in the home. Immediately after starting a fire in the UNIVERSAL, air from all parts of the home starts in motion. It.is drawn through the register past the hot castings and returned heated to the rooms above. The air chambers through which the air passes must be properly proportioned in order to insure per- fect circulation and preserve the life of - the heater. The dimensions of these chambers in- a UNIVERSAL pipeless are the result of many years study and most careful tests Fits any basement. Given Bros. Hardware cu.
