Daphne coughed out the last words.
Hastily lifting her gown she wiped her
lips with it. When she dropped the rude
towel a dark red smear was across her
chin.
An instant before Daisy's heart had felt
hard as steel, but at that sight the angel
that was in her conquered.

The Troublesome Moth.

The fumes of burning camphOr gum or

very disagreeable operation, but is so
effective that any room where they are
known to be should be fumgated this
month. To do this with entire success.

proper precautions are observed there is

horn hats this season is that they are
trimmed entirely in one color. An ingeni-
Gus summer girl now at Richfeld Springs
has, according TO writer for the World of
New York. already appeared in seven diff
ferent leghorn hats. Her friends have
been speculating on the number Of trunks
necessary to contain her wardrobe, and
they have decided that it took at least one
trunk simply to bring her leghOrn hats
to the springs. In this they nave
been mistaken, for this gayly at
tired summer girl brought with her
but one leghorn hat and seven different
sets of trimmings. One day she appears
in a leghorn hat trimmed with loops of
baby-blue Chiffon and two Prince of Wales
tips in the same color The nextday the
hat will be overgrown with pink rOsebuds,
which will wind themselves in ana out
band of pink chiffon rosettes. On other
occasions the hat is trimmed with bachelor
buttons and tulle TO match. With a white
gown 1t appears laden with white lilacs
and loops of white MORE ribbon. Some
days ii is adorned with black yioets and
black chiffon; in fact, it is made TO har-
monte with almost every gown in her
wardrobe. II takes but few minutes to
retrim the hat, and it enables the Young
woman TO have seven hats for a COMPARE
lively small expenditure of money. The
Richieid guests are busy holding cOnsulta-
tons over the eXtravagant amount of her
millinery bill.

By what cat-like trick of descent be
reached her no man knew. Her poor,
bleeding head lay on his arm.
"She's dead!" he cried in a very loud
voice, with an ashen face ana stricken
tears in his eyes. my heaven! if she is
I'll shoot the girl who let her fall"
The girl who ''let her fall' heard that
yell of threatened vengeance, Her body
covered and shrank as it reached her.
In a fash of knowledge of the utter
fruitlessness of the crime she had done
overwhelmed her. If Daisy was dead Jose
would be farther than ever from loving
Daphne.
Manager, actors and spectators were
crowded together around the pitiful tab
leau of the kneeling acrobat holding his
senseless treasure.
In the all-absorbing excitement of the
question as to whether any life was left
in Daisy. man, woman and child for a
time forgot Daphne. Presently a mighty
demand arose of:
Where is she? How was it she missed
her? Was it by accident? Was it on
purpose? But where is she?"
When this tumult awoke no Daphne
could be found
By the hour of midnight Judd's low

When they next met it was on the
giddy height of the rope, where his eyes
were very cautious to betray no sign of
fear.
The performance reached its climax. On
the high, frail platform stood Daphne. a
rigid figure, her black eyes cleaning with
the same fierce light which had filled them
in the wood when she laughed.
The moment had come for Daisy's leap.
1t was attempted by the girl with arms
Oulstre tcbed.
But in a bewildering moment of horror
she realized that the hands of her fello W.
acrobat which were won't to grasp her
wrists securely were limp and uncertain
and failed her.
There was blood-curdliDg groau amid

To Preserve Seaweed.

At the seashore one often attempts to
preserve some of the beautiful specimens
Of seaweed. The best method of doing so
is as follows. says a writer for the New
York World: The seaweed must first be
cleaned In fresh water. Next take piece
of stiff drawing paper and slip il under the
seaweed, which may then be arranged in
its most attractive form, with all its

Allow the clothes to bang in the sunlight
for several hours. Moths hate the light.
They work in the dark.
Bags of various sizes made of seersucker
and stitched with double seams are safer
recepiacles of clothing than trunks, and
are fully equal to expensive cedar chests.

Odd bOdices are in demand. Here is a
new one just arrived in town, says the
New York World, which the summer girl
will be glad to add to her collection. 1t is
made OF checked silk, where blue, old
gold and black are mingled. The broad,
deep yoke of the bodice is yelled with
black chiffon, and over it cream lace in.

Dubuque advices state that the

taken down preparatory to placing
it in the boat. 1t will take but a
short time to set it in place, when
the little craft will be ready to start
for the gulf as soon as the boilers
are finished. The boilers are most
remarkable piece of mechanism.
Besides the three large water tubes
are their connections, which are SIM

iniertwined so as to present the
largest possible amount of heating
