.horght seemed to tickle him greatly.

"No. Meyer, don't suppose you
would or could. but with woman it is
different. "
"No. it vas all de same. " Meyer per-

"But are you going to write to her?"
"Maybe so, maybe not. 4" doggedly.
"Why?"
~ want to buy dat land you own

me dat land. write pooty soon maybe.
The matter was not settled just then,
but few days later it was, and Meyer
became landowner in Pineville.
"What are you going TO do now!"
asked Molly.
~ make a fine farm, one big garten,
und build one little house, und Lenken
und me live dere und get rich like ev-
erything.
"But suppose when Lenken sees how
crippled you are that she won't marry
you!"
"Und suppose ven l see how pooty

long ago, und give all de rest for you
afterward TO make you happy.
Ibid you lose your leg for Lenken,
Meyer" Molly asked, greatly interested.
Maybe l did, but some odder day
ven Lenken come you ask her -
For once Meyer was rushing things.
In short while he had cleared several
acres of land and little later began to
build the house. When the house was
completed he came to Molly in high
spirits.
"Lenken is coming next week" he
cried ZACH, Colt, | vas so glad!"
Molly inquired the day, but Meyer
could not tell her. He said he was going
to watch every incoming train until she
arrived. Molly, too, somehow managed
to be at the depot at train time and
watched Meyer.
II am so curious to get first glimpse
at I,enken, she said TO herself. II
have wondered so long what she looks
like and have heard her praised SO much
by Meyer that the curiosity is almost
killing me.
One evening when the train came i'll
she saw Meyer rush forward and knew
that Lenken had come at last. She
peeped around the corner and saw wo-
man looking around bewildered. That
woman had beautiful eyes Molly looked
straight into them for moment, and
everything else in the woman's appear
ance was forgotten.
Come, Lenken, " Meyer whispered,
touching her hand. "Ach, du lieb-
chenr' he murmured as their eyes met.
! Then both turned, holding each other
by the hand like children, and started
to walk away.
AS Molly looked after them there was
soft moisture in her eyes. Then she
reused herself and. smiling, murmured,
"Why, she must weigh at the very least
! 200 poundsP'
The bell of the locomotive rang out q
warning. There were putting and wheel.
! ing, and the train was i'll motion. Then
there came piercing scream, and the
train stopped suddenly.
When Molly looked through the crowd
that gathered in moment to see what
had happened, she saw Meyer lying on
the ground and Lenken was bending
above him.
Molly pressed up closer Meyer looked
up and saw her. lit vas for Lenken, y
he said, bis eyes twinkling merrily.
Then he added, But thinks it vas only

DIR. Tuchler of Alameda worsted n thief IN
brilliant style. Although she IL a successful
physician, she is still woman enough to carry
her purse in her hand. As she approached the
railroad station in Alameda n man hurried past
her and snatched the purse. DIR. Tuchler did
not cry stop thief y nor scream, nor pick up
her skirts and run after him. She doubled up
her fist, gave one leap, and landed a blow on the
fellows, jaw that sent him %sprawling on the
sidewalk. 1t was, just. such "a blow as those
rivals to the dust. The man was completely
knocked out, and SO dazed that he looked as IL
he did not know what had happened to him.

frills and ruches are OF chiffon.
For calling and afternoon receptions cloth
and velvet gowns are must in evidence, and
here are q few models which may serve to show
some OF the later tendencies in fashion and
which vary in detail enough to stamp them as
now. Satin bands of heliotrope matching the
cloth in color trim the first gown, and tho skirt
is cut with n circular fiounce from the knee
down. The wide collar is of velvet in q darker
shade Of heliotrope and is finished on tho edge
with applique lace. The yoke and vest are OF
white satin covered with lace and the necktie is
of turquoise blue satin. The train ID the special
feature Of the next gown, which is made of gray
drnp d'ete with a gray velvet underskirt. The
yoke and sleeves are OF white chiffon over white
satin crossed with gray velvet bands, and gray
velvet points trim the skirt on the hips. An.
other very stunning calling dress is of blue

Sashes are more or less n feature of all even
ing gowns. and of the young lady's gown in par
ticular. They are variously made of chiffon,
-@'t silk with hemstitched ends. crepe do chine,
and ribbon. Striped and plaid tanfeta ribbons
are used for simple gowns, and tho latest fancy
In this variety Of sash is to point the ends and
rim them with rows of black velvet baby rib
bon. Two little ends cut diagonally, also
trimmed across with velvet, stand up at tho
waist from the small knot, The sashes ara all
very long. reaching quito to the hem OF tho
skirt, and are not always supplied with loops
and a knot at the waist. Two ends falling from
underneath the waistband are not unusual, and
when the sash extends around the waist 1t may
be tied In one single knot at the back.
The use OF nets and chiffons for evening dresses
helps out one scheme of economy, as old silk
and satin gowns can be used for the founda-
ton. Wide hounces of colored or white chiffon

from the ~lining-which rarely measures moro

One article of dress very much in demand Just
now Is the fancy waist for the theatre and semi
dress occasions. and ii must be light in color or
Of black net glittering with spangles. The COM
bination of two or three materials In one bodice
is preferred. and lace insertion alternated with
tucked bands or pufs OF chiffon make a very
pretty waist over a satin lining with velvet in
some bright color for the collar and belt. In
black there are net insertions closely jetted
which are used in alienation with lace for the
entire bodice, either running up and Town or
around, as you like. Another pretty idea is to
have the yoke and sleeves OF velvet in some
pretty light color and the lower part of tho
bodice OF chiffon in the same shade. Cover tho
narrow round yoke with jewelled embroidery or
applique lace, and IL you wish TO DO quite up-to.

velvet trimmed across the ends with lace or

back as q pretty buckle will answer every pur-
pose where the ends cross.
The ~preltiest black net waists are made with
q white satin lining, and an interlining OF white
net or chiffon next to the black net. Shirred
sleeves arc the rule in this department Of dress.

Novelties are added to tho list each week now,
and silk warp bar6ges come in for n large share
of admiration. They are shown in both light
and dark grounds. covered with rich colUrs in
flower patterns. The new challios. too. are ex-
tremely pretty in dark blue. green. and red

and scattered over with white or black polka
dots. Other patterns on light grounds are
wreaths OF rosebuds mingled with bow knots.
Watered silk, with large satin polka dots and
waved or pointed cross stripes, is shown among
the new goods, a wonderful sheen being its chief
attraction. Shaded silks are among the novel
ties. and the old.fashioned crystal silk. with q
gloss like satin, has como back again. Another
variety of silk has q velvet finish, which makes
1t especially desirable for dinner gowns. Ben
galines. poplins, and corded materials are dis
played with other goods for spring wear.

Among the novelties in pattern dresses are
the white orsandie and batiste skirts. all made
in either bell or circular shape and trimmed
with rufles of fine embroidery and insertions Of
lace. Embroidered material to match comes by
the yard for bodice and sleeves, and the whole
fleet is very pretty. Seventeen dollars buys a

the bodice material you have a very attractive
gown, easily completed by the home dressmaker.
