Their steps in the matter"
Edith, very shortly afterward, went
to her own room, and there, clasping
her hands behind her, she walked up
and down, thinking, with a. very
troubled heart, on what she had heard.
Her view of the matter was very differ
ent from that of her father. She felt
certain something wrong had been done
by her cousin. For long time she had
distrusted his supposed friendship for
the two young men, and now she pic
tured to herself John Kenyon in the
Wilds of Canada, helpless and despond-
ent because of the great wrong that had
been done him. 1t was far into the night
when she retired, and it was early next
morning when she arose. Her father
was bright and cheerful at breakfast,
and had evidently forgotten all about
the unpleasant incident of the day be-
fore. A good nights sleep had erased
it from his memory. Edith was glad of
this, she did not mention the subject.
After he had gone to the city the Young
woman prepared to follow him. She
did not take her carriage, but hailed
hanson and gave the driver the number
of Wentworth's offices. That young
man was evidently somewhat surprised
to see her. He had been trying to write
to Kenyon some account of his inter-
view with old Mr.. Longworth, and,
somehow, after he had finished, he
thought John Kenyon would not at all
approve of his zeal, so had just torn the
letter up.
''Take this chair" he said, wheeling
an armchair into position. 1T is the
only comfortable one we have in the
room"
Comfort does not matter" said Miss
Longworth; 81 came to see you about
the mica mine. What has my cousin

"How do you know he has done any
thing?"

TRIMMINGS FOR SKIRTS.
How They May Be Used to Advantage In
Remodeling.


In making over an old gown the
present fashion of trimming skirts will
be found most useful. A skirt almost
invariably shrinks from seasons wear
and after it is taken apart and sponged
it is sure to measure too short by sever
al inches.
In remal1ing a skirt never lengthen
at the waist. Such approaching will spoil
the hang of it quicker than anything
else.
When plain skirts were worn it was
impossible to lengthen a skirt without
unsightly piecing. Now, however, the
bottom of the skirt may be pieced and
then trimmed to conceal the piecing.
For a street gown braid is the best
trimming. Hercules or soutache braid
is favored and should be put on in two
or four row clusters. If the wearer Is
short, two rows as near the foot as pcs
sible is best. A young girl may have
the braid sewed in a Grecian border
around her skirt if her gown endsat.the
ankle.
Skirts intended for indoor wear are
prettily trimmed with ruches, with
may be of silk or of dress material. If
OF silk, frayed edges save time and give
an additional touch of beauty. The
ruches may be put on close around the
foot or ten inches up. a band of fur
sometimes replaces the ruche. It
should, however, be of good quality to
wear we'll and is, therefore, way above
the heads of ordinary mortals.-Chi-

NO WONDER PEOPLE STARED.

She Had Used Pair Of Her Husbands.
Trousers as q Shawl.
She is a noted ho1sekeeper, and it is
her proud boast that she can always
find any article in her house without
light, be the night ever so dark, and that
in case of her sudden demise no one
need blush for the condition of any cup
board in her dwelling.
The other evening she was going out
with her husband, but it seemed rather
hard for them to get started. Once she
returned to turn back the rug Before
the parlor fire, and once to give the cook
an order. The husband heaved a sigh OF
relief as they finally reached the pave
ment, but it was cut short by his wife's
exclamation: There, it is really cold,
and have on this thin little jacket. I
must go back and get my old brown
shawl"
Look here, how many times are you
going back, anyhow" demanded her
husband. ''You will be all tired out be-
fore we start"
well, John, dear, if you insist upon
il, you may get it for me. You need
not make a light to find it. 1t is hang
ing on the third peg on the right hand
side of the cupboard in the back room

But that is where my things are
kept"
81 know, dear, but since I have given
away all your old things to the nice,
polite tramp there is plenty of room.
I keep just few things there because
they are old. and smell so strong of
moth balls; l knew you wouldn't mind.
But do go at once; you are making us
so late! Don't light the gas-oh, he's
gone. How impatient men are"
Five minutes later he came back with
jammed thumb and no shawl.
"Just like man." she said, and went
up to fetch it herself, returning almost
instantly with nicely folded garment
hanging over her arm. 81 shan't need
it going, after ALL" she said; ''but 1
may coming back. I found it just
/ where told you it was, dear"
After spending pleasant hour or two
upon the friends upon whom they had
called they started to walk home, and
after they had gone block or two she
threw her shawl carelessly about her
shoulders, not without remark as to
the neatness of her cupboards and her
ability to find things in the dark.
AS they slowly strolled toward home
several people turned to look after
them, with almost audible smiles, caus
ing her to say, complacently:
Il do believe that people take us for
pair of lovers, John"
To which John, mankind, replied:
BLAMED idiots!"
People certainly did behave oddly,
and couple of small boys even fol-
lowed them home with mirthful shouts.
what can be the matter?' she said.
''To be sure, my shawl is old-fashioned,
but it can hardly be that"
The husbands key was in the lock by
this time, and, as she followed him into
the parlor, she caught a glimpse of her
self in mirror. Instead of shawl she
had pair of her husbands trousers
gracefully draped about her shoulders!

CHAPTER XIII.

The stormy interview with Went
worth disturbed the usual serenity Of
Mr.. Longworth's temper. He went
home earlier than was customary with
him that night, and the more he
thought over the attack, the more un-
justifiable it seemed. He wondered
what his nephew had been at, and tried
TO remember what Wentworth had
charged against him. He could not rec
Ollect, the angrier portions of the in
terview having, as it were, blotted the
charges from his mind. There re-
manned, however, a bitter resentment
against Wentworth. Mr.. Longworth
searched his conscience to see if he
could be in the least to blame, but he
found nothing in the recollection of
his dealings with the young men to
Justify him in feeling at all RESPONSE
bic for the disaster that had overtaken
them. He read his favorite evening
paper with less than his usual in
terest, for every now and then the
episode in his Office would crop up in
his mind. Finally he said sharply:
"Edith?'

ter.

Wentworth whom you had here the
