CHAPTER VIII.

Theycars that he had passed in Colora-

that Harvey Neil believed he had had
no time to think Of women. In reality
there had been no particular woman for
him to think about. The rough life
OF ranches, the social stratum to which
his work in the smelter had brought
him, and the isolation Of the mine, had
alike been barren to such type of
womanhood as alone could appeal to n
taste fastidious by nature and further
refined by all the training and tradi-
ton Of his home life. Like any nor
mally minded man, to love and be loved

Near Odessa While Trying A.
MIKE Up Lost Time.-No One An

Wcnatchce. WASH. Oct. 81. Conductor
Miller OF the Great Northern train which
arrived here about o'clock Saturday ev-
ening, tells of an attempt to wreck the
train, probably by thieves bent upon rob
berry.
The wc~tbound passenger was running
at full speed to make up time. 1t was
an hour behind the schedule time and was
reeling oil the distance at the rate OF fifty
miles an hour. About : o'clock. at about
four miles east OF Odessa, the engineer
felt his machine jar and then it began to
bump along the nails, running 300 yards
before it could be stopped. The train
hands went back and found that Il 30-toot
steel rail had been taken from the side
of the track, where supply is left fox
repairs, and placed across the rails AZ
right angles.
When the pony truck struck the o,.
structon it was thrown from the rails
but the big drive wheels clipped OIL one
end OF the steel rail intended to hur the
train from the track, and in an instant
an offending piece of steel flew past the,
engine cab and the balance of the rail-

Afr the train hands put out warning
signals for approaching trains from either
end the engine trucks were hoisted upon

f In the vicinity of the wreck there are
numerous coulccS, and it is believed tn,
men who placed the rail on the track hid

TALL AND SLENDER WOMEN.
The Coming styles VIII strive After
THAT Effect.

Fashions latest cdicts lrlve brought
about an absolute reformation OF style.
y few months ago women enjoyed the are
freedom of motion which the short stays
and loose blouse forms gave, and medical
authorities had reason for predicting 4
new and healthy en-, unhampcred by tight
clothing and superabundance of weightv
cloth. when presto change this much
praised common sense became pclnaps TOO
common for variable femininity.
Tight and slender effects cngross fem
mime ambitions. the comfortable short
cor-ets are abandoned and instead tight.
long armor of steel is buckled on over hips
and waist and Is not the less uncom.
Portable because it, is covered with silk
or satin and daintily trimmed with ruf.
fled lace and baby ribbon. Over this new
corset form the modern bodice is fitted
tight and fawless and the long basque
fall, closely over the back and hips of the
clase-iitting skirt, which assumes decidedly
larger eNpanse below the knees and drags
in undue length to follow the proportions
OF the long basque or Jacket or cape.
The tight sleeve with the very slight
extension at the shoulder adds still more.
to the tall and slender effect. and we will
wonder during the course of the coming
season at the sudden lengthening OF the
feminine world.
