tion is fitted snugly and is composed
of the usual pieces and seams, closing
at the centre-front. On it is arranged
the plastron of plaid, which is stitched
to the lining at the right and hooks
over onto the left side. The blouse is
fitted with shoulder and under-arm
seams only, and turns back from the
front in pointed revers, which reveal
the vest beneath. Beneath that, on
the right side, the blouse is stitched
fast, while the left serves to conceal
the closing, which is effected by hooks
and eyes. At the back, falling over
the shoulders to meet the revers, is a
deep, square collar of the plaid, and
loops of cord passed over large but
tons serve to hold the blouse we'll in
place. The basque portion is circular,
and scanned to the blouse beneath the
belt of brown leather. All the free
edges are stitched by machine. The
sleeves are snug fitting and finished
with cap shaped epaulettes, which fall
over the shoulders and relieve the
otherwise plain effect. .
The skirt is cut in seven cores and
embodies the apron idea, so conform
ing with the demand for trimming
without detracting from the apparent
height of the wearer. The lining
front is cut wider than the material
and into it are stitched the narrow
sections of plaid. The edges of both
the front and sides are machine stitched
and the buttons and loops serve to hold
them in place. The back cores are
laid in deep backward-turning plaits
and so form the fan back. Zibeline,
covert cloths, all cheviots and drap-
d'ete are all eminently appropriate and
in the height of style.

Brussels Sprouts.


Brussels sprouts are simply supe-
rior variety of cabbage. They are
usually eaten boiled, and served with
cream sauce.
Pick them over carefully; throw
them into a pot containing an abun-
dance of boiling water. Let them boil
twelve minutes, drain them, and throw
them into cold water. When they are
chilled drain them again, and warm
them up in a cream sauce prepared
for quart of sprouts by melting a
tablespoonful of butter with table,
spoonful of -four, and adding slowly
pint of milk, with salt and pepper.
Let the sprouts simmer slowly for five
minutes in this sauce.
IF you prefe, the sprouts may be
cooked the same length of time in two
tablespoonful of butter. Toss the
sprouts often to prevent their "catch :
ing" at the bottom of the pan, and
serve them hot. Some cooks add a
teaspoonful Of minced parsley to a
dish of creamed sprouts.
The process of cooling. these vege.
tables in cold water is q necessary and
important one. This blanching i'm
proves all members of the cabbage
family. It takes away the strong,
rank flavor, and renders the vegetable
delicate and wholesome. It is espe-
cially desirable to blanch cabbage be-
fore cooking it.

THE Willy RAILROAD AGENT.
How He Kept His Promises to West Vir-

How He Kept His Promises to West Vir-
ginia Farmer.
A railroad advance agent in West
Virginia, whose business it was to 60
across the country and win the favor
of the residents, struck an inter-moun-
tain region, and found that that par
ticular county was practically domina-
ted by an old farmer away up the ridge.
The road wanted something like one
hundred thousand dollars from the
county, and the odd fellow, whose
name was Searles, was willing, on one
condition, to help out. He wanted the
road to come near his own place. Cush.
man, the agent, looked over the situa-
ton, and after a time promised. 1.-The
line, " he said, twill run within one
hundred yards of.your front gate, Is
that near enough?" Searles said it
was, and an agreement was signed.
Then Searles began advocacy of the
bond proposition, and the concession
was voted. Two years later another
railroad man happened to be hunting

Searles's house. The conversation
turned upon railroads, and the old man,
pointing to long rifle over the man
tel, said: "The next railroad man that
comes into these hills I'm going to
shoot with that" Mr.. Smith, who
had not yet disclosed his identity or
occupation, asked for the reason. The
mountaineer told of the bonds.
But" said Mr.. Smith, "if there
was an agreement, the bonds are in
valid"

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
The Care Of Knives.

To keep kitchen knives in the best
condition, they must be washed as
soon as possible after use, as acids,
grease, salt, etc., injure the steel and
tend to blunt it. Wipe the blade
with an old soft cloth, then dip it into
lukewarm water and wipe it dry. For
Frightening the blade, the primitive
board, with emery powder or finely
sifted brickdust, cannot fail to give
good results. The drawer or box in
which steel knives are kept should
be lined with wash leather, and all
the knives not in daily use should be
kept slightly creased with oil or vase
line.

With which parting shot she made
her retreat to the kitchen.
That afternoon the GOODNESS which
had existed for some days between
Mamie and the singing teacher culmin-
ated in open hostilities on Nannie's
part.
Wayne made some sneering remark
about Dick in the role of horse-thief.
The reaction which had been setting
in, in Nannie's mind, for some time,
disposed her to think remorsefully OF
poor Dick and her treatment of him,
and when she heard of the suspicious
ahoat regarding him, she took up
weapons in his defense at once.
The result was that, when Mr..
Wayne took his departure that after
noon, she gave him to understand, in
very plain terms, that he need not take
the trouble to call again.
"Dick Brayton a horse-thief," she
said to herself Indignantly. 'The
ideap'
But the thought troubled her, and
as soon as her father came home she
began to talk about it.
"Do you mean to say, father, that
anybody believes word of it? 1t can't
be! Nobody but fool would think Of
such thing twice"
"But some folks that can't be called
fools do," replied her father. "'Tain't
no use to mince matters. We've got
to look things squar' in the face. We've
got to own up that what Bill Green
says he see does look bad ag'n' the
boy. I don't know what to think, my.
self. I don't b'leeve he stole the
hosses, but I can't deny that twas his

Mamie. ''f he'd only come back and
explain things, now"
'I dunno as I want him to come
back, "said Mr.. Boone, with troubled
look in his face.
"Why?" asked Mamie.
"Mebbe he's safer where he is jest
at this pertickler time" answered Mr..
Boone.

anything to him, do you?" asked Nan

"'Most everybody round here thinks
he's guilty. An you know how they
deal with hoss-thieves. That's why I
say that mebbe he's safer where he is

At that Mamie turned very pale and
ran out of the room, saying to herself:
''Poor Dick in such awful danger. and
I used him so meanly! Oh, dear! Oh,
dearr'
Then she sat on the steps of the
woodshed and threw her apron over
her head and began to cry.

CHAPTER XIV.

CAPTURE AND IMPRISONMENT FOR DICK.
On Monday night Dick came back
from "down below" little dreaming of
what had taken place during his alb
sence.
On his way to Mr.. Boone's he met
several men.
1t was about nine o'clock and 30
dark that he did not recognize any of
them.
But they recognized him.
They halted shortly after theypassed
him and held hurried consultation.
Then they turned and followed him.
"Hellor' called out one of them, as
they came near him.
Dick knew the voice. It was Bill
Green's.
''Hello, yourselfr' responded Dick,
stopping for them to come up. "What's
wsntede'
'I reckon you be-" answered Bill,
as they came up to where he stood.
"We've been wantin' to see ye, bad,
ever sence day afore yestid'y."
"Well, here I am; what do you want
of me?" asked Dick, scenting trouble
in the air.
"Wall, there hain't no use O. vast
in words an times know on" said
Bill, with nervous sound in his voice.
The truth was that he would have been
very glad to shift this part of the busi-
ness upon some else, but the others
had insisted that he was the man to do
the talking, and as he had them to
back him ne felt thousandfold braver
than he would if alone. Indeed, if he
had been alone he wouldn't have dared
to say anything to Dick. Talking
about horse-thieves was an entirely
different thing from talking to them.
But he felt obliged to 60 on, and
blurted out in desperation that sounded
almost like bravery: "It's jest like
this, Dick .Brayton; we've found ye out
at last. an I reckon ye won't steal nc
more hosses round these diggin's."
"What do you mean?" cried Dick,
with flashing eyes. "see here, Mr..
Bill Green, that may be sharp joke
in your opinion, but it's my opinion
that you've gone little too far. ]
don't appreciate such jokes"
Don't hey?" said Bill, waxing q
trihe more courageous as the men
crowded around him. "Wall, I dunno
as I wonder much. I s'pose it amt
any laughin'-matter.'
IT don't know what you mean, u
said Dick. "But I do know this
Neither you nor anyone else can call
me horse-thief and not get hurt"
'I dunno about that" said Bill,
feeling tolerably safe as he looked al
the four men beside him. 'I want
jokin', an you know it as we'll as I do,
I reckon. I meant just what I said
'Tain't no kind O. use in yer tryin' to
play off. I see you write that mess O
stuff on the oil cottonwood-tree, an
we've found out what most Of it stood
fer now"
eff you say you saw me make 6
mark on the cottonwood-tree, you lie, ,
cried Dick. He did not stop to con
slider the lack of politeness in the
words, but said just what he meant.
Ys"What's that?" cried Bill, really as
