suspended in midair in this way. Quite
the contrary, however. Experience
shows that it is much more comfort
able than being squeezed and smoth-
cred in the arms of his mistress or her
maid, no matter how carefully they try
to move him about.
Moreover, since the harness is no i'm
pediment to the dog moving about on
his feet, a chain can be attached to the
handle and the little animal led along
as easily as if he had no harness on at
all.
All sorts of dogs that are small
enough for pets are carried in this
fashion. The new style is very popular
among all the young women who own
dogs, but the style is not limited to the
younger members of the smart set.
The matron and the dowager also fol-
low it with scrupulous care.
For the winter season the carrying
harness and the blanket are combined.
LAS rule, the blanket is of corduroy,
and keeps the shivering pet as warm as
his mistress in her furs. In color, tho
blanket is generally red, and it is
comical sight to see this red blanketed
and behandled creature trailing along
at the side of his mistress as she walks
down the street, or hanging Imply
from the blanket harness as it depends
from the lady's hand.
Prices of the carrying harness and
blanket vary considerably, ranging
from five to forty dollars each. Some
times the leather and the blanket are
embroidered with silver, and OCCASION
ally gold ornamentation glitters on the
combination. Combine the gold col
lar set with diamonds, and the gold and
silver ornamented carrying harness and
blanket, and the result makes the PAM
pered dog of fashion almost as conspic-
uous an object as his pretty and richly
dressed mistress.
Upon stormy days, when his mistress
desires to give the small aristocrat an
airing she can carry him in a newly
invented satchel which answers the
purpose admirably. 1t is rounded in
form, opens at one side, and at one end
the leather is upon hinges and can be
let entirely down or partially so, as may
he desired.
When this IS done, a net work of
leather or sometimes silver wire is re-
vealed, permitting the occupant of the
queer looking satchel to breathe all tho
fresh air it desires.-N. Y. Herald.

IN A STRAIT BETwIXT TWO.


For two whole days, shame kept the
young engineer from returning to the
farmhouse on the Little Chiwassee, but
the urging of the same wholesome
emotion made him tireless in his efforts
to find Thorndyke. He accepted his
own theory of kidnapping, and, after
learning from the hotel-keeper at
Glenco that Philip had set out to ride
to Allacoochee, and that the horse had
returned riderless the following day,
he was confirmed in the belief that the
young attorney had been waylaid and
carried OF to some isolated cabin on
the plateau. Acting upon this conclu-
sion, he began systematic search on
the mountain; and since his occupation
had made him familiar with every spur
and ravine within ten miles of Allacoo-
chee, it would have been singular if he
had failed to discover Thorndylle's
asylum. 1t was late in the afternoon of
the second day, however, when Philip
heard the welcome sound of approach
ing hoof-beats, and his satisfaction was
not lessened when he found that the
rider was Protheroe. He laughed when
he hobbled to the door and saw the
engineer coming up with Winchester
held at the ready.
you needn't be alarmed" he called
out; 81 don't want to fight, and can't
run"
Protheroe was mystified, but the
bandaged ankle was held up in evil
dencc. "Then you're not q prisoner,
otter all?" he said.
"Oh, yes, l am-very much so; but
not by the i'll will of my good friends
here. All need is an ambulance, or the
loan of gentle horse"
'We were afraid you'd been kid
naped," said Protheroe, and, seeing
Philips look of inquiry, he added: I'm
in the secret; Duncan has told me all
about it."
''But don't understand yet. wrote
Duncan two days ago and sent the let
ter in your care. Didn't he get it?"
sudden light broke in upon Pro-
theroe. 1.-Two days ago? that was
Wednesday. How did you send it?"
''By messenger to you at Allacoo-
Chez"
Duncan didn't get it, and I never
heard of it. 1t probably fell into the
hands of the enemy. Sharpless went to
Duncan Wednesday afternoon with
story about your having gone to New
York; and ever since, he's been turning
heaven and earth over to find Kilgrow."
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1897-05-28

ou're heavier than you used to be;
don't think you're going to die of
consumption said Protheroe. rencm-
bering another time when he had
helped Philip dismount at the farmers
gate.
NO; more's the pity" reioined
Philip, ungraciously. at would be bet
ter on all accounts if should"
AS not infrequently happens when
the probable course of events has been
carefully prefsured, nothing came
about during the evening to verify
Protheroe's fears or to add to Thorn
dykes misery. They were all unfeign-
ally glad to welcome both of the wan
derers; and while Mrs. Duncan was
principally concerned in doctoring
Philips ankle, Elsie tried to induce the
young engineer to lay aside the shroud
OF reserve which he conceived to be the
proper penitential garment for the oc-
casion. How had he found Mr.. Thorn
dyke? Had he ridden far? How had
they ever managed to get down the
mountain with the horse? Weren't
They both dreadfully hungry? These
and many more questions Protheroe
had to answer, and at length he was
obliged, for very shame's sake, 20 com
pei himself to be oblivious to that
which Elsie was so evidently bent upon
ignoring
And neither that night nor the next
morning before they left for Allacoo-
chee did either of the young men find
au opportunity for private speech with
the girl; though Thorndyke abused
himself, as was his wont, for not having
made one, and Protheroe went away
leaden-hearted because he had been de-
MED the privilege of confession and ab-
solution.
AS to the necessity for going, Thorn
dyke was peremptory and obdurate.
lie insisted that Sharpless must not he
given another day; that there had al
ready been sufficient delay to enable
the crafty and unscrupulous attorney
to entrench himself behind mountains
of chicanery. No, he said, there should
he a settlement that day, or else he
would have the manager and the attor-
ney in Jail before night.
Il wouldna be too preceese aboot
the exact sum, Master Thorn
dyke" was Duncan's parting injunc-
ton. "Feefty thousand dollars is Il
fearful deal O. money to ding oot at ane
clatter."
"Ive been thinking that over since
we spoke of it," rejoined Philip, "and
I've changed my mind. They'll pay a
hundred thousand, or go to jail"
Protheroe laughed heartily at Dun
cans dumb show of amazement when
they were out of hearing. 81 hope
you'll win," he said. "Do you want me
to go with your"
mo; fancy can manage them bet
ter alone; but I'm much obliged. I'd
be glad to have you with me afterward,
though. I imagine Sharpless will be in
an assassinating mood if do win"

stand your reluctance, Mr.. Duncan"
ne said, with a smile that had softened
more than one recalcitrant witness.
"fou will pardon my not mentioning
it sooner, but had not thought of ask
ing you to serge us in this matter with
out compensation. 1t will he thou
sand dollars in your pocket when you
bring Kilgrow to my office in Allacoo-
Chez"
Duncan's solemn face gave no intima-
tion of the strife stirred up within him
by the lawyers shameless proposal
furious struggle between cautious
shrewdness and righteous Indignation.
For the first. and perhaps the last, time
IN his life, wrath got the better of pru-
dence, and he burst out in a storm of
