LADY's SUMNER COSTUME.

Nos. 20,530, 20,526-This pretty young
lady is wearing a stylish shirt waist Of
pink lawn figured with black. The de-
tachable collar is a great improve
ment upon last seasons modes, as it
enables one to wear the garment much
longer before it is Numbered. 1t is
made Of white linen and is cut about
two inches high, and turns over per-
fectly straight with slanting corners
in the front. The shirt waist is shaped
by the usual seams, has a gathered
front, the usual fullness gracefully ar
ranged on each side of the stitched
center box plat. In the back, as shown
in the small figure at the left Of the
illustration, the fullness Is gathered un-
der q gracefully shaped yoke piece.
Particular attention is called to the
sleeves, which are this seasons inven-
ton. They are made with much more
fullness than was the case last year
and are finely gathered into the arm
size and finished by stitched cuffs Of
the same material. Any fashionable
wash fabric can be used for the de-
velopment Of this design.

My thoughts flew to my missing love,
Oh! If she were but beside me-beside
us! for jealousy Of Grant had left me-
If we were but gazing together on that

her, and my lips whispering the words
of love into her ear! If her fingers,
with the soft, caressing touch which l
so we'll remembered, were resting in
mine! If
could bear it no longer. l turned
to Grant, and cried in voice of an
guish:
Tell me all! Tell me where she is!
Give me Viola again.
He turned at my cry The moonlight
was full on his pale face. His eyes
his features-evinced deep sympathy
and compassion. A fearful thought
ran through me.
She is not dead?" gasped out.

saw him knit his brows, not an
grily, but as one in deep thought. My
lips were trembling; my emotion so
great that could not repeat the ques-
ton.
Breathlessly 1 waited for Grant to
speak. At last, in a grave voice, he
broke silence.
"You believed the words I spoke
when-when l thought was dying?"
Gould be with you now if l did not
believe them?"
will you believe me when l say that
1t will be happier for both Of you, If
you never meet or hear again of one

can 1? She, the wife loved, leaves me
without one word With my kiss still
warm on her lips, she passes away
from me, it seems, forever! Let me
see her-let me hear why she did this
thing!"
Grant was silent; but once more he
took my hand and pressed it.
"Tell me-" continued. Remember.
even after all that has recently passed,

your part in the flight This is at least |

escape. Each way l turned | was met
with some impervious obstacle.
For my sake! This concealment
was for my sake! l am plunged in
despair. am told there is no hope.
Yet all this was for my own sake! The
riddle grew more and more difficult OF

1t II he chose, but would he do so?
Not he, The next day l once more
attacked him. l implored, command
ed, even threatened; not one word
would he speak I was on the verge Of
quarreling with him; but as I fancied,
1t was only by his direct or indirect
aid l could find Viola, restrained my
very natural wrath, and on the subject
OF Viola a sullen silence succeeded my
useless questions.

wifes present abode? l must wait and
watch. A chance word, letter, any
thing, might put me on the track.
Moreover, 1 had a presentment that
Viola was not far away. People, when
driven to their wits end, put a vast
amount of faith In presentiments.
Much as l had learned to love him,
severe as were the twinges of remorse
still felt for my murderous act, it was
all l could do to force myself to be-
lieve that Grant was slngle-hearted in
his determination of keeping me in the
dark respecting my wife. The more
so, as 1t was my conviction that, could
l once meet her, my pleading would
be eloquent enough to bring her back
to me, to begin once more the happy
life so strangely cut short. Only let
me see her once more, take her by the
hand, gaze into her eyes, call up the
of those few short days when
we were all the world to each other:
surely 1 must then be told the truth

John S. Johnson, of Minneapolis, has

and skating for nine years, he has been
heard of only for about three years,
when his phenomenal time was at first
scarcely credited. His decisive defeat
Of the hitherto invincible Joe Donahue
n Montreal, Feb. 3, 1894, in all distances
DIP to five miles, brought him to the top
of the tree, where he has remained
perched on its topmost branch until the
present hour, unquestionably the best
man up to five miles on ice. He holds
nearly all the records in speed skating.

lowing he ran five heats and won the
one hundred yards and two hundred and
twenty yards runs in fast time. In the
fall of 1894 he attended the western
championships, at st. Louis, Mo-, and
there won the one hundred yards and
two hundred and twenty yards runs.
In the fall Varsity meet he pulled down
four medals for the fifty yards,

occasion of the initial field meeting Of
the Iowa Dual Athletic league, at Iowa
City, when Crum was credited with run
ming one hundred yards in 10 seconds,
also reducing the state record for the
Eurlong run to 22 2-5 seconds, and the
state record for the hurdle race at the
same distance to 26 AS seconds. From

in which the distance had ever been

The New York Athletic club in the inter-

of its too jealous votaries.
Other instances of anatomical changes
brought about by special feats could
be cited, such as the fiat foot of the
broad jumper, Of the broad back and
fiat chest of the oarsman; but one Of the
best examples of this effect Of function
on structure is seen in speed skating"
which the international contests OF the
last few years have done so much to
popularize.
Speed skating differs from ordinary
skating in several marked particulars.
The skate itself-about 18 inches long
has a fiat blade, almost as thin as a
knife, set into light tube supporting
two uprights, circular. but hollow.
These short upright tubes fasten 1t to
the boot by means Of a plate, the whole
purpose being TO combine the greatest
strength and lightness. The boot laces
tightly, giving firm support to the
ankle.
The racing posture Of all the best
skaters is practically the same. The
back is kept straight and horizontal.

VIII Ultimately BE the Result of Big
League Oppression.
From the Wilkesbarre Record: The
leading article in Sporting Life of re-
cent date was an ably expressed opin-
ion from Aaron Rhoades, "Pedant," Of
this city, why the minor leagues of the
country should organize themselves into
one body, exclusive of the National
League, and control absolutely their
own players, a threatened blacklist
holding their men in check from deser-
ton to the major organization, where
the possibilities of permanent employ
ment is about two in ten for all recruits
Surely such a departure appears to be
practical and it will require only two
or three samples of one-sided legisla-
tion-such as the recent reduction in
the prices to be paid for men of vari-
ous classes-to bring about such an in
novation. Were this new organization
effected and all its sides ramified by
thorough harmony and determination
to remain in line on the part of every
of the various minor leagues it
would be successful. Then the Nation
al League would have body to cope
with which would be dominative and
aggressive rather than diplomatic and
servile, and terms would have to be
made on the basis Of equity and fair
value for players true worth. This
is surely worthy of consid-
