pleadings! — and clear the way thus for a 
stabler rule, to right the wrongs existing? 
AUREA — But verily it seemeth, ma¬ 
dam, that all these evils were not quite so 
dire as those that threaten now and men¬ 
ace on every side the kingdom. 
HELIA ( in a rage) — I’ve heard enough 
— yea, many times too much! Too long 
my patience now doth bide upon indignity ! 
I know not what you've come to, nor what 
schemes you’ll next lend your endorse¬ 
ment. But this I know: disloyalty’s afoot 
and stalks me, threatening, which way I 
turn! If only Mortals knew — ! {The 
dust-covered figure of FUTIL is seen 
dragging miserably through the wood L.) 
CHORUS — No, no, your majesty ! — we 
swear !—all’s love and fealty, dear Queen ! 
Helia, Queen Helia ! — all hail the Queen! 
{FUTIL, unobserved, has reached the 
glade; he staggers across it, not seeing the 
assemblage nor the Queen, who awaits him 
eagerly, reaching toward the rill; this has 
failed during HELIA’S last speech.) 
FUTIL {faintly, in great exhaustion) 
—Again is’t vain? No water here? 
{Cries out in despair.) This spring, like 
all the rest, is dried! And man and beast 
and plant alike, we living things must per¬ 
ish from the earth! {TEA ROSE runs 
toward him with a cry of sympathy.) 
TEA ROSE — Futil, Futil! 
FUTIL {unheeding) —How far have I 
come! What sights have I seen! Oh, 
deep shade of the greenwood, hide me! 
Cover me, bury me — that my burning eyes 
may never more upon a single Sunbeam 
have to look! 
AUREA {astonished and indignant) — 
Why, that’s me! 
Sunbeams {stirring and protesting) — 
Why, that's us! 
TEA ROSE —Futil, Futil! Dost thou 
not know me? 
FUTIL {still unheeding) — O orb of 
day, thou art the orb of death ! From this 
poor earth thou’st stolen all the waters; 
and Rain, thou hast turned back lest thy 
glutton fires be cheated. O burning heat! 
— O pitiless drought! — oh-h — {He falls 
unconscious before basin.) 
TEA ROSE {running distracted to the 
Queen and back to him) — My lady, my 
lady ! See — 'tis a Mortal suffers ! Thou’lt 
not deny him! 
HELIA {loftily) — There’s ever suffer¬ 
ing in this naughty world; and no great 
good is ever ’complished without the hurt 
of some. 
TEA ROSE {in an agony of beseech¬ 
ing) —But, good my lady, look! A splen¬ 
did Mortal! And Mortals thou dost love, 
and they love thee; e'en now thou’st 
spoken on it. See — how comely are the 
lines of his strong limbs! How noble his 
fine brow! {Bending over him.) Alas, 
poor Futil! See how his curls are parched 
with dust, and all their luster dimmed! 
{Running to HELIA again.) Oh, Queen! 
Reck not of every Mortal — but this one, 
lady! {HELIA turns away, with a nega- 
An up-to-date home 
deserves an up-to-date 
refrigerating plant 
The old-fashioned ice-box has no 
more right in a fine, modern home 
than an obsolete heating system. 
Let us demonstrate to you the sanitary 
features and other advantages of the 
System of 
Refrigeration 
(Using the A-S Machine) 
Unlike the damp, ice-cooled refrigerator, 
the low, dry temperature made possible by 
this system prevents the breeding of disease 
germs in the refrigerator. Foods also last 
longer than when cooled with ice, and have a 
better flavor. 
The home that is equipped with the J-M 
System is independent of the ice supply at all 
seasons, and always enjoys a bountiful supply 
of pure ice for table use. 
Lastly, this system puts an end to the dirt 
and muss of the ice man. 
Most economical system on the market, and 
different from all others. No ammonia. Abso¬ 
lutely safe. This machine runs by electricity or 
any other power. Simple in operation.

Just a Handy Man With a Wrench 
is all that’s required to set up a Corcoran Tank and 
it is absolutely watertight without paint, putty, 
white lead or calking. 
But better than this it requires only tightening of 
nuts to make it stay tight after years of service. 
It’s all in the iron bands with adjustable draw-rods 
at the intersections placed over antifriction plates — 
draws every joint tight and holds it there. 
Erected complete and every part numbered at 
the factory. Made of the best material 45 years’ 
manufacturing experience can buy. 
Before you buy any kind of tank 
or windmill get our new catalog. 
It will save you money.
