The residents of the little township of

were passing through a period of intense
excitement. First there was the appear

of police to cope with him, and the sibse-

a couple of months so, We We're treat ed

BOdices for the Fall.

From Harper's Bazaar.
The bodces of cloth and silk embroidered
by hand, in scallops and bow-knots and
different sized polka dots, are made with
small yokes Of tucked chiffon, and are
exceedingly dainty; but again these cannot
be classed with those that are suitable for
every day. 1t is said the silk flannel wears
spendidly, and at all events ii does not
soil quickly. There is one thing that ought
always to be remembered in wearing light
elaborately made silk waistS-that when
they are Soiled they are most untidy in ap-
pearance, and there is excuse for them
whatever. 1t is troublesome and expensive
to have them cleaned, but an elaborately
made waist of silk satin or lace that Is
not fresh makes the whole costume with
which it is worn look out of style. This is
really the time of year when a woman
with moderate income looks better dress
ed than at any time in ready-made light
weight suit which can be easily bought or
which may be left over from the spring.
These suits certainly are in good form, and
can be had for a third the price charged
when they first appeared.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October 25, 1900
Never has a season of fashion been so
barren Of novelties and beauties as this.
From Paris comes the report that there is
nothing new, that the dressmakers are at
their wits end for fresh ideas, the modistes
without inspiration. Perhaps the hot Par
isian summer. maybe the exposition, Is to
blame, but whatever Is the cause, chaos
reigns in the realms of the mode. We have
no system, no patterns to guide us any
longer in our choice of hats or our seec-
tions Of gowns. Wear what you please, for
what you please Is as good fashion as any
thing else, says the cloakmaker, tailor, fur
rier, cotouriere and milliner. Wear green,
or brown, or yellow: cut your skirt with
train or without gather and pleat it at
the waist, or let it fit the hips close as
the bark fits a tree: hang directoire tails
to your coat and waist. or chop off both
right under the arms-confusfon prevails
and bad taste is given.

me by letter that you have done her the
honor of asking her to be your wife. 1t Is
needless for me to say that this is matter
which demands the most careful consid-
GRAFTON. Since she declares that she loves
you, / should be 10th to give you hasty
answer, SO if you will drive out with me,

sure
[ Cavesson read the letter once or twice,
and then slowed it carefully away in his
pocket and set himself to wait patiently for
Wednesday. In the interim he confessed TO
me, though why he should have made me
his confidant l do not know, that he felt
more nervous than he had ever done in mis-
life before. AS he was at great pains to
point out every time we met, the happiness
of his whole life was trembling in the bal
ance. And yet he was not a rule what
you would call nervous man. Far from II!
On Wednesday he dressed himself with
more than usual care, and remained in MS
office writing his reports and awaiting the
arrival of the man who had 1t in his power
to decide his fate. The morning dragged
slowly by, the afternoon arrived, but up TO
B o'clock there was no sign at all OF the
eagerly expected millionaire. Then, just
as the charge room clock struck the half
hour. a well appointed buggy, drawn by
pair of horses, drove down the main street
and pulled up at the police station door:
In it was seated an elderly gentleman OF
benign, though rather eccentric, appear
ance. He was wearing light gray suit, a
big solar topee and to protect MS eyes
from the dust, wore cloSe-nttlng Dlue spec
tacles. When he spoke it was with an air
of command that seemed to befit man
who was several times a millionaire.
Cavesson lost no time in going out to him.
Have l the pleasure of addressing Mr..
Walkett?" he inquired in his best manner.
THAT is my name,' replied the other alb
ruptly. You, 1 presume, are Mr.. Caves
SOM"
Yes" said the young man, my name is
Cavesson. 1 hope you have had a pleasant
journey?"
Far from pleasant" remarked the mil
lionaire brusquely. THE dust is terrible,
and your roads are the worst in Queens
land. Are you at liberty to accompany me
to the Station?'
Il am quite at your service" Cavesson
replied. IF you will excuse me for mo-
ment, 1 will fetch my valise.''
He brought out the article in question,
pushed it under the seat and then got in
himself. Walkett touched up the horses,
and a moment later the strangely assorted
couple Were driving merrily down the
street toward the track that pointed across
the plain in the direction Of Nolaba sta
ton. AT first Cavesson was little silent,
but he soon got over his nervousness, and,
