In coat shapes for the winter both
semiloose and fitted shapes are favored.
The collars are still the familiar high
standing bands finished with braided
or braid edged tabs, crenclated strips of
velvet. fur bordered points and other
fancy SHAPES formed and decorated to
conform to the rest of tho garment.
Most of the sleeves are very small coat
shapes. or else very much reduced nut
ton leg styles, finished either with II
flare ut the wrists Or turned back with
u deep machine stitched cuff. The great
est novelty in wraps, aside from the
widely popular Russian model. is the
garment closely fitted back and front,
the jacket eighty pointed, and reach
ing only u trifle below the waist line on
the sides.
Over the very close coat sleeves fall
loose open circular bell sleeves. which
are silk lined and decorated in various
ways to match the jacket trimmings.
These little garments are designed to
accompany Il calling or church costume
or for other occasions for " hich Il small
wrap is requisite. A few of these wraps
fasten on the left side and are trimmed
across the front with two rows of rather
large buttons, giving the jacket n dou-

But after the posse had disappeared

But after the posse had disappeared
into the woods it dawned upon me,
and the conductor as we'll, that we were
In no comfortable position, for the rob-
bers might decide to cut around anc
capture the train. The conductor gave
positive orders to his crew, and to me
as well. that in the event any such at
tempt was made there was to be no
resistance. That train does not be-
long to me- he remarked, and I don't
propose to nave any of my blood shed
in trying to keep them from taking it.
His injunction was not necessary, how
ever. as there was less disposition on
the part Of the rest of us to offer any
resistance. l knew l could not fill my
engagement at the approaching we'd
ding if I got weighted down with lead.
The excess baggage that | would be
obliged to pay in that event would pre-
vent my going east.
Cali way the train was kept going
up and down the line. Runners would
come in and report that the bandits
had gone down the line: then it would
be reported that they had turned back
over a blind trail, and there was no
end Of excitement. In addition to this
we were kept busy tagging trains
ahead and behind us, as we were tres
passing upon the time card and had to
protect ourselves and the rest. 1t was
amusing to Sc the passengers as a train
would poss. They had all heard. COM
ing from either direction, that a posse
was in pursuit Of the robbers. AS they
gazed upon me and my warlike costume
I was in doubt whether they took me
for pursued or pursuer.
about 10 o'clock that night the chase
came to an end. Three of the posse
came upon the gang. and both sides
opened fire. How it happened can new
er be told, but when the firing had
ceased-and there was no end Of shoot
ing-not n of the officers could find
that he had been even scratched, but
lying upon the track. was one dead rob-
Der, two wounded and a fourth shout
ing for mercy with his hands so high
that they were in danger of being FROST
bitten from the upper air. We all
heard the shooting. but could not locate
it for the reason that in a mountain
canon, as we were in, the reverbration
of sound is such that it appears to be in
a dozen places. Although it seemed
like an hour, it was not long before one
of the triumphant trio came into the
station, where we had sidetracked for
the night, and gave the information
that they had the whole gang corraled
a few hundred yards up the track.
S%tretchers were taken up and the dead
and wounded were brought down to
the car.-Washington Star.
