They were standing between the grim thadow of the ancient mill and the &hady pool: he was a slim, handsome, extremely elegant ycung gentleman, and she seemed very ng and cf a soft and gentle loveliness. Sir Richard halted and watched them. The gentleman drew a packet from the breast of his embroidered coat, at sight of which the girl reached out eager hands; the gentleman seemed to consider, smiled. shook his handsome head and finally thrust the packet into his breast again, whereupon the girl cast herself upon her knees before him, i- | lantly and, s THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

BETZ, Mgr. 612 13th Street Vot Side— EEEEEEEEEEEE Electrolux Refrigerators Only $10 Down These terms won’t last long— 18 months to pay N A tiny pilot light makes ice for life The Kitchenette model occupies little space, yet has ample food capacily, and freezes jour trays of large ice c-uka at one time. RIGHT now the small sum of $10 is all that stands between you and an Electrolux Gas Re- frigerator. And you can take 18 months to pay the balance. This offer holds good for the next few weeks only. While you can do it for so little money, get one of these refrigerators for which you never need buy ice, which stays cold all the time—no matter how hot the weather may get—and which freezes all the ice cubes you need for cooling drinks. With an Electrolux you can prepare cold luncheons and sup- pers that are really cold—make salads so crisp that they seem to melt in your mouth—make delicious home-made frozen desserts, right in the freezing trays. Electrolux allows you to do things you couldn’t even attempt with an old-fashioned refrigerator. Yet it costs less to operate than ice or any other system of refrigeration. A few pennies a day— 40c to 60c a week—covers the entire operating cost of an Electrolux. That is because Electrolux uses only very small amounts of gas and water, both relatively cheap. But eéonomy isn’t the only reason for owning an Electrolux. It is absolutely silent as well. Electrolux has no mechanism whatever. A tiny pilot light, the slightest trickle of water makes this refrigerator remain always cool, and freeze the ice cubes and desserts. Nothing moves in an Electro- lux- Hence there is no friction, no wear, no need to give it attention of any kind. Once the tiny pilot is lighted, you need never go near the refrigerator again. To get your Electrolux while these special liberal terms hold good, call at our showroom. There is a model and color (including white, of course) to fit your kitchen.
