The Pnlonaise.

The polonaise is certainly to be a
feature of the spring styles. In Paris
it is already an accepted fact, and, al
though London no longer slavishly ac-
cepts what Paris proposes in the mat
ter of dress, a run on the polonaise is
expected there. Any one who studies
the subject of dress soon discovers that
what on the first seemed to be a reck-
less revival is generally logical evo-
luton of some favorite style of the
moment. When the shaped flounce
came in, the revival of the "tablier,"
''tunic" or "draped overskirt," as it
used to be called some ten years ago,
was predicted. And the draped or sep
arate overskirt cannot come in without
bringing in the polonaise, which is
merely its princess" form-that is,
the overskirt cut in one with the bod
ice, instead of being separated at the
waist. The eel skirt helped the evolu-
ton OF the polonaise, which is always
most in favor when fashion DEGREES a
certain tightness above and a certain
flow below in direct contrast. The eel
skirt accentuated this and will accen-
tuate it still more if the excessively
tight samples, skin tight above and
very fieecy and flowing below the
knees, which now prevail in Paris and
on the smarter London stages, ever
spread to the majority

next the engineer saw of him he was
fooling around among the slide rock
in the edge Of the timber on the side
hill.
Before they had succeeded in tracing
out No. 9's private gold bullion bank
the Hope mine caught fire in its lower
workings. A few men worked their
way through the Slopes to the fifty

men met horrible death in the depths
and No. was one of these. SO the

west of the mine and that some spring
when the snow goes off and the ground

poke among the slide rock in the hope
that they may fall heir to the hidden

Sock and stocking Mending.

A large hole in a sock or stocking
can be mended in less than half the
time required for the usual manner
of running back and forth, and up and
down, and will look as well and make
stronger darn. Beginning at the side
of the hole farthest away, and work
ing from left to right, work around the
hole in the single button hole stitch
used in embroidery, taking the stitches
little way apart and deep enough into
the material to get a firm hold. When
the starting point is reached, keep on
around with the same stitch taken in
to the loops between the stitches of
the previous round. Keep on till the
opening is filled narrowing toward the
center by skipping an occasional stitch.
If the material mended is very thin
and worn around the hole, begin fur
Their out and make a round or two ON
the solid cloth first, taking each stitch
into the loop of the last round and also
into a bit of the goods that is under
it. If the hole is of an irregular shape
the darn can be made to fit it by mar
rowing faster at one place than an
other. This makes a neat and durable
darn, and with little practice can be
done very rapidly. k

said he exultingly. "and they'll never
lasted long enough to make lot of us
tired carrying it away.
When he grew sober he realized his
error this man went to the foreman
and demanded his time at once. This
is the way miner discharges himself.
He then had talk with the others of
the shift and left town. In the course
of time his drunken talk was repeated
to the mine superintendent, who called
the night shift up and questioned them
as to its meaning. He threatened
them, and got threats in return. The
upshot of the conference was that the
night shift in a body demanded its
time, and got it. Seven OF the men at
once left town. The ninth remained
in the Basin. All sorts of efforts were
made to get this man to talk, but with
out avail. A detective from one of the
big agencies became his boon COM

without learning any more than the

One day word reached Basin from
Butte of tremendous strike in Madi-
son county. A carload of quartz from
prospect over there had been sent to
Butte, and ,Ae smelter returns showed
the lot to be of the value of more than
$4,000. There was a rush from the
Basin to the new diggings, and then it
was learned that the strike had been
made by the men who had been en-
ployed on the night shift on the 100
in the Hope. The detective dropped
the ninth man in the Basin and hurried
over to Madison county. He obtained
samples of the ore from the new strike
and had it assayed. The stuff did not
carry a trace of gold to the tonOn his
report the Hope people levied upon
the returns on the shipment from
Madison county, on the ground that ii
was Hope ore mixed with the pure
silica of the Madison claim that had
made the shipment valuable, but the
ore already had been put through the
smelter, so that the chance of proving
that it was Hope ore was lost. The
money was tied up for a time, but
finally released to the shippers. They
abandoned the Madison county claim
in hurry and got out of the country.

to prevent surprise. Once only were
they in any danger of detection. On
that occasion the shift boss entered
the workings through the fifty-foot
tunnel on the hillside and crawled
down through the slopes to the level at
the 100. The men were just putting
the last bit of tagging into place as he
came upon them. One quick-witted
among them disarmed suspicion by
say:
Started to run on us again, but we
heard the tagging giving and stalled 1t
off,"
Next lunch hour there was a man
stationed in the slopes as well as the
cage station.
The first nuggets found in the jigs
came from the cleanup of the cave-in.
Everything, waste as we'll as quartz
was put through the mill at the Hope.
Some of the streaks had fallen into the
level with the granite. The nuggets
subsequently found were from pieces of
quartz that fell away every time the
tagging was removed.
Knowing this much, 1t was easy for
the mine management to find the rich
streak, or. rather, to find where it had
been worked. for there was not much
of 1t left. But what remained was of
size enough to show that nothing so
rich had ever been found in the coun-
try. Mining that little streak was like
mining pure gold, and the company got
over 100000 out of it before it was
altogether played out.
1t is believed that the ninth man had
cached his share somewhere near the
mine, and close watch was kept on
him to discover the place. The en-
gineer on the night shift recalled that
No. 3 had always started off along the
Great Northern Railway track to the
west after going off shift, although his
cabin was to the east of the mine. On
one occasion he had watched him.
He went along the track to the bend,

The reason why pretty necks ana
threats are much rarer possessions
nowadays than they were fifty or six
ty years ago is that for many years
past it has been the fashion to wear
high stiff collars, fastened tightly
round the throat. Tight collars cause
the neck to become yellow, and the
skin to become prematurely wrinkled
and baggy. A graceful carriage Of the
neck is also impossible when a high,
close collar is worn. We are at last
beginning to recognize these truths,
and this season stiffened collars will
no longer be the mode. Often the first
signs of age show themselves in the
throat. Daily massage, using a good
emollient, is the best method of keep
ing throat wrinkles at bay; this, IL
persevered with, will also prevent yell
lowness and scragginess Of the neck.
Singing exercises improve the appear
ance of the throat, but, of course, it is
imperative that singers should avoid
tight collars.

Adventures OF a wedding Ring.

ADVENTURES OF wedding Ming
In Germany the Continental custom
prevails that wives should give their
husbands wedding ring at the nup-
tial service in return for the one they
receive from the man they have ac-
cepted. Married women being generally
superstitious as to the removal Of their
own wedding rings, it will surprise no.
body to learn that Teuton danes are
very touchy as regards the respect
paid by their spouses to the token Of
bondage they have accepted. If it be
removed from the wedding finger and
carried about in the waistcoat pocket
or purse, woe be to the husband
should he be unfortunate enough to be
discovered.
A story comes from Berlin about a
certain poulterer of Meissen, the loss
of whose wedding ring utterly de-
stroyed for time the domestic peace
of his home. At last, however, he was
able to vindicate his character. His
wife was receiving money at the till
one day when a female customer walk
ed into the shop.
Have you lost your wedding ring?"
she asked the poulterer.
The eyes Of the jealous wife were
fixed upon him. He boldly replied in
the affirmative.
WELL" said the customer, with an
artful smile, here it is" The wife
glared. II bought sausage here the
other day, and while l cut it up for
supper my knife came upon this ring.
l presume it fell from your finger
while you were making sausages." At
the earliest opportunity the poulterer
went to the jewelers. and had the ring
made a size smaller.

the lady, in distributing the little trim
mings which add certain elegance to
a plain garment. The unadorned apron
can now be treated in a manner that is
very becoming. This apron Is made
with full skirt evenly gathered upon
a narrow band that is fastened at the
back with button and buttonhole.
The material is light-colored percale
over-scattered with punches of flow
ers. There is a pocket of generous size
upon each side, edged with ruffie of
embroidery. The hem is likewise fin
ished with an embroidered ruffie. In
stead of the straight straps across the
shoulders a fichu of the material is
made and trimmed with frills of en-
broidery. This fichu is crossed over
the front of the waist and fastened to
the waistband at the sides. Developed
in a more expensive material this
apron is ideal for my lady to wear
when making fancy work.

With the present style of arranging
the hair in pompadour and high on the
head, the wedding-veil. whether it be
OF tulle or of lace, can most easily be
adjusted, for 1t can be caught In place
on top of the hair and fastened with
a diamond ornament, or spray OF
orange blossoms. One end of the veil
can be fastened in this way, and then
the other end left to fall its entire
length over the train.
Some new wedding gowns are made
with the front of the skirt arranged to
give the skirt the effect of a petticoat
made entirely of lace or trimmed with
ruffies of lace, and then on the back
of the gown there is no lace at all

THE HOPE MINE.


how Where a Little Fortune in Stole
Then the Hope people went to work
again on the ninth man. He had left
the Basin when the trouble over the
payment for the ore arose, probably
to avoid being called as a witness
against the others. 1t never was
known whether he had any interest in
the Madison county shipment. The
presumption was that he had not. and
that whatever he got out of the Hope
had not gone into the general fund.
At any rate. to keep him in sight and
to induce him to tell the secret of
the rich gold streak, which had never
been found by the mine owners, he was
re-employed at the Hope.
Little by little, and under promise of
immunity from prosecution, he told the
story of the steal. There had been
cave one night and the tagging (poles
set close together horizontally be-
tween the framed timbers to keep the
walls in place. had been forced into
the drift for a space of ten feet. The
shift boss had put the whole gang at
work for fear that it would run on
them if he waited until the timber
frames could get around to it. While
catching up his ground one OF the
miners discovered that the granite on
the side that had caved in and which
was supposed to be the foot wall of the
lead, was not the foot wall at ALL
1t was just horse" of granite. and
there was streak of quartz behind it.
When they came to examine this
streak they found that it was scanned
with gold, some of the seams as thin
as a hair and others as thick as a
knife-blade.
The shift boss had gone on top to
report the cave and ordered some lag
ging to be sent down. The men used
their picks to tear up section of the
streak, and this divided up and con-
cealed in their dinner pals. When the
boss returned nothing was said to him
Of the find. The cave was caught up,
but in replacing the tagging to hide the

pay streak they arranged it so that
section could be quickly removed.
When they got on top they found that
the specimens" were worth almost
their weight in gold. and then the
plan to work the strike for themselves
developed.

except small colors here and there. The
nuggets were then shown to them, and
they were ordered to find out where
they came from without letting their
men know anything about the strike.
The mill and mine superintendent
were warned to keep close watch
on the men to see that they did not
carry off any OF the rich ore.
j.. In spite of these precautions
word got about that big strike had
been made in the Hope. The jigs were
trimmed carefully and little bags OF
nuggets were sent to Helena every few
days. Every man who had a share in
the mine Rugged it to his breast and
refused to part with It, Hope stock
enjoyed a boom, and on the strength of
it old Mike O'Donnell sold the adjoin-
ing claim-the Katie-for 100000.
Men who went down into the mine
were carefully watched when they
came out The dressing room for the
miners was in the mill. They discharged
their open-air-attire and got into their
overalls and gum coats here They
were ordered to eat their lunches in
the workings, so they took their dinner
buckets with them when they went
below. When they came up they
changed clothes in the presence of the
foreman to prevent any hocus pocus
with rich specimens of ore. The day
shift resented this treatment, but the
night shift only laughed at it.
There's nothing to steal but the
powder" said one of these, grinning,
land can get blowing up enough from
the old woman without taking extra
chances on that"
There were nine men on the night
shift in the 100. Occasionally one of
them would take couple OF days off,
and on these occasions the others
would object to having a man put on
to fill out the quota on the always good
excuse they didn't want to be blown to

take. One day one of the shift got
