PART III.

The other men stood back, and Es-
dale picked himself up and advanced
to the fire, slightly out of breath. He
did not answer for a moment. but stood
stirring the white wood ashes with his
boot. He was revolving in his mind
the meaning of the strange words he
had overheard. and the position that
ne ought to take. Then, rejecting that
this was something altogether out Of
the line of ordinary experience, he
shelved the policeman for the private
individual.
"You have my word that | will say
nothing of what | have seen or heard
tonight. or may see or hear. And now.
since | have given you that assurance,
you may as well give me the clew to
the wild talk of treasure and immunity
from death that | have overheard. AS

azine. All this b merely because some
body has been teaching them the charms
or Possessing book plates, Of collecting
them, and OF tickcting their various vol
umes. The book-piaie fad is vastly more
amusing than stamp collecting or gathering
up crests and curious letter heads. By
few 1t is considered a more enlightened
form or fad than Of acquiring posters and
Old prints, and certainly 1t has its bene-
fetal effects. Now a ook-plate, as ev-
cry enlightened lSoul knows, is an en-
graved form, from one TO two and a
half inches square ,embodying, amid a coat
of arms. symbolic scrolls and figures
ones initials and motto. This design is
printed Off on the best OF bank note paper
and copies of IL are pasted on the inside
covers OF those volumes one intends to
keep and cherish. 1t is an ancient custom
much in vogue in the days when books
Were not SO cheap and abundant as at pres
ent, and when the sma Hest volume had
value that mad it worth purloining. and
its loss source of genuine regret. In
the eighteenth century numbers OF women
had their engraved plates pasted in all
their books, and it is this custom the
nineteenth century daughter is so eagerly
initiating.

Commissioners Ross said he was pleased
to welcome the visitors to the Capital

schools, had done work that was envied

Mrs. esephine st. Pierre Ruffin OF

organization OF the federation, and said
1t was upon the advice of Frederick Doug
lass, who had been consulted about the
matter. The credit OF the organization's
existence is not due to any one woman.
for the federation was in the air and it
was simply for the people to meet to be
organised. Mrs. Ruffin's idea Of going
on with the work was to train the young
children. Careful work among the little
ones was a thing that would pay, and
the women OF the Organization were di-

STITCHING WITH HAIR.

IN OLDEN times 1t was the custom for
i ladies to give their sweetheafts hand
kerchiefs with their Initials cmbroid-
cred with the fair donors hair or finger
rings or watch chains made from hair.
Such fashions have died out, but the
fashion of embroidering handkerchiefs with
hair has been revived. 1t may not be
known that for embroidering purposes hair
should be soaked in boiling water before
using it to make 1t soft and pliabie, So that
it can be threaded In a fine needle and
used like silk. One method is to lay down
several strands of hair and sew or couch
ii down with fine silk. Feather stitching
is often done with hair, and with little
practice is very effective. In figure
embroidery hair is used for the eyebrows
and eyclashes, making the figure much
more natural looking.

Mother of Pearl Work.

Beautiful art work in carved and inlaid
mother of pearl has long been produced in
China and Japan. Some idea OF the en-
tent of its European use in The arts and
manufactures may be had from the fact
that 5000 people are engaged in working
mother or pearl in Austria and half that
number in France. while the value or the
annual import into England is nearly
$1.500.0O0. In the Philippine Islands win
dows are made OF mother of pearl. and
James Anthony FrOude. in his volume OF
"Voyaging in Oceana." Describes frightf,l

The opening Of the second week OF the

evening was most suspicious. Never be-
fore, 1t was said, was Gonzaga campus
so literally packed with SO gay and inter-
ested u throng. It is estimated that Fully
eight thousand people passed into the
grounds, and. judging from the difficulty
encountered in moving from ore place to
another, they all stayed until the very,
last. 1t was night OF rushing business
at all the booths and stands, and the ladies
in charge and their assistants were kept
as busy as bees.
The feature Of TIE evening, however,
was cake walk, taken part in by ten
couples OF professional walkers The walk
took place in the dance pavilion.
After the walk an excellent exbibi-
ton of fancy dancing was given by Miss
