Suede gloves are appearing moro and
more universally every day as the sea
son advances, their backs heavily
stitched and mohogany red is the color
chosen for dress occasions. This is q
color not seen before, and in place Of
the heavy glace kids for morning and
shopping use, fashionable hands are
encased in stout castor gray and oak
brown antelope skin gloves, four-but-
toned and stitched with black silk.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
antelope skin outwears even the hsavi'
est kid, and having an undressed sur
face, fits right in with the demand for :
change from the finished skins.
Perhaps the most interesting depar'
ture made so far in the manner o.
dressing pretty hands is the selection
of new colors in the long suede evening
gloves.
Block and white, pearl gray and tar
of all shades are ignored for the novel;
ties in rich moss green, pure dull, or
as it is technically called, antique golC
and poppy red dancing gants de suede
This may sound daring departure
but the effect of a white gown worl
with moss-colored mousqustaires
wrinkled to the elbow, or black ne
dinner dress with gold-covered glove
is satisfactory beyond criticism.

Handkerchiefs of finest lawn edged

handkerchiefs are in disfavor. A very
fine hemstitched linen may have tiny

the corner, but it is newer to have such
finish along one Of the edges just above
the hem. For tailor wear mans silk

reached the door Fuller had hurried up
his stiff and wearied scouts and in the
presence Of little party of officers the
story was told again, and told without
break or variation. There was only one
opinion. The scattered outlaws had
easily got wind Of the coming Of the
paymaster with his unusual amount Of
treasure, and, quickly assembling, they
were heading away to meet him far to
the southeast of the big post, very pos
sibly planning to ambuscade the party

"Why, Brooks, you'll have to go. /

and it'll take two companies at least. "
And 20 minutes later, answering the
sharp summons Of their veteran SER

CHAPTER K.


The day that broke ON old Fort
Worth thus late in sunshiny May
proved one Of deep anxiety. There wai
no telegraph wire then to connect IL
with the distant headquarters of the
department. # there had been, it would
have been cut six times week. There
was no way Of waving back the coming
convoy or Of signaling danger. Crockett
Springs lay a long days ride to the
southeast, and the little troop Of cav
airy there in camp was looking for the
coming Of no call upon it for duty un-
Til early on the morrow it should sup
ply the paymaster and his party with
breakfast, the ambulance with fresh
mules and driver, and the night riders
Of the escort with their relief. Forty
troopers from Crockett Springs would
take the place Of those who had come
from the San Saba and trot along with
the paymaster until somewhere about
midway to Worth they should meet
the 40 sent out the previous night to
bivouao on the prairie and be ready to
take up the gait and keep it until the
man Of money and his safe were well
within the limits Of the reservation.
But the 80 mile stage from Crockett
TO the southeast was the worst on the
long line. The road wound over the di-
vide to the valley of the San Saba and
on the way had to twist and turn
through defles of the range of hills
where more than dozen times Indians
and outlaws had defied the little detach.
ments Of cavalry scouting after them.
The worst part Of the pass lay some 20
miles beyond the stage station at Crock
ett Springs. Neither Indians nor out.
laws to be sure, had been heard Of in
that neighborhood for several months,
but that proved nothing. 1t was easy
for the latter to sweep from their sup
posed fastnesses in the Apache range to
the west and, issuing from the Wild
Rose pass, to water miles below the
springs and then line the rocks in the
heart Of the San Saba pass without a
trooper being the wiser, Forty cavalry
men, as Lawrence knew, would be the
majors escort from the camp on the
Rio San Saba beyond the range. Forty
men disciplined and organized ought
ordinarily to be able to cope with any
band Of outlaws to be found in Texas.
But when, Rs was now reasonably Ger.
tain, this far famed Friday gang had
received aCcessions from the troops
themselves and had welcomed the de-
serters and desperadoes SO frequently
sloughed off from the soldier skin Of
Uncle Sam in the days close following
the great war, there was grave reason
for precaution and graver still for anx-
iety. Question as he might, Frazier
could not shake an atom of the original
statement of Fuller's men. Fifty
outlaws, at least count, with
a dozen led horses, they had seen
through their fieldglass far over the
prairie, pushing southeastward from
the direction Of Wild Rose pass of the
Apache range, straight for the lower
valley through which ran the little
stream that had its source at Crockett
Springs
