BY THE SEA.

I sat by the sea when the sun shone bright
Anu flooded it's depths with a blaze of light.
And the golden sheen and emerald green
Like gems in the crown of a fairy queen
FLASHED forth in glittering %splendor;
And the soft winds sighed DER the shin
ing tide,
And the murm'ring waves to the breeze
replied
In tones that were low and tender.
I stood by the sea when the moon was high,
And the stars shone out from the midnight
sky,
And a wondrous sight was that shimmering
That flashed from the crests of the surges
bright,
Like stars in trembling motion;
And the moons soft ray on the waters lay,
And it's cleaning track a a bright
highway
Across the slumbering ocean.
I stood by the sea when the lightning
flashed,
And the waves ran high. and the thun-
der crashed,
And the binding spray, that was dashed
away
BY the bowling wind, in the furious fray
Brought death to the hardy toiler;
When his ship at last by the stormy blast,
A dismantled wreck on the rocks was cast,
A prey to the ruthless spoiler.
The beautiful sea! The ~treacherous sea!
A joy and a terror it is to me;
A beautiful sight, by day or by night,
Is the tranquil sea, by whose margin bright
The fisherman loves to wander;
A terrible thing when its rage doth bring
The angel of death with his sable wing
To darken the homesteads yonder.
w. c.. Newsam, in Golden Days.

Arbogast stood at his desk while the
scrubbing was going on. We may safe
ly say it was after half-past four
o'clock when he started to leave the
bank; for otherwise it is presumable
that Chatham would have waited for
streets, as he was asked to do in the
bookkeeper's telegram. He first
walked eve to the safe and closed it,,
changing the combination, so that the
lock could not be opened until he had
had a fair start. Next he went to the
clerks room for his hat and coat and
for the satchel in which he had packed
just the few necessities for immediate
use in his flight. He started to leave
the building through the Exchange
place door; but probably remembered
that the Wall street door was not
locked, and went back to lock it. AS
he was about to close the outer door,

gowns de

than for the purposes to which
tailor-made gowns are usually put.
1t is in no sense a shopping OF street
gown.
Rough materials in light, delicate
blues and grays and biscuit tints make
some very stunning gowns. One in
pale blue, for example, has a double
skirt effect, each edge trimmed with
n of the fancy silk braids in white
with black dots. BY the way, it is
well to remember the fancy braids
this season, as they were never be-
fore SC varied, never half SO pretty as
they are now. There are all sorts Of
mixtures, but nothing else is quite SO
fascinating as the black and white.
One very effective trimming in black
is a silk serpentine braid in different
widths, each scallop widening almost
into a point. All the braids are fex-
ible, soft and glossy, so they r
easily arranged in any design. Some
thing called the new art braid is so
pliable that you can give it different
shapes by stretching it in places.
Another feature of trimming shown
in the shops is an embroidery on both
black and white t~affeta, which is cut
out in different designs on one edge
and embroidered by machine in imi-
tation of hand work. White on black
and black on white are the rule. The
bands are not wide and the embroid-
cry is around the edges, with some
very small pattern scattered through
the center, but this does not conceal
the silk at all. These bands make a
very pretty finish for the top of a cir
cular founce where it is sewed on to
the upper skirt and for the front
edges of the bodice down either side
of the vest.
Black velvet ribbon is shown on a
soft red cloth bolero, worn with a
skirt of the same material, also
trimmed around the hem with velvet
ribbon. Galloon trimming, which

to give himself as much time as possible
to reach a place of comparative safety
before the books could be examined?"
asked Sturgis. "Chatham, becoming
impatient, forgot the dictates of pru-
dence and started for the bank to as
certain the cause of his accomplice's
delay. He met Arbogast at the Wall
street door. The two men reentered,
Arbogast setting down his satchel in
the vestibule and leaving the outer
door ajar, as Quinlan found it "A few

"Iour story is connected, and it is
certainly not lacking in details" said
Dunlap, incredulously; I'm fact, the de-
tails are far too abundant for the evil

Every one of the details is based up

have accomplished thus far has been
simple enough, because luck has ia
vored us. Yesterday being cleaning
day at the bank, the floors were
scrubbed some time during the after
noon, before Arbogast was ready to
leave and before Chatham had arrived.
1t thus happens hal almost every
footstep of the two men has remained
family but distinctly outlined upon the
wet floors, which have since dried, pre-
serving the record. The detectives last
night obiiterated a portion of this rec
ord, but they have left traces enough
for our purpose. If you care to crawl
around on all tours as / did you can
readily distinguish these traces for

NO, thank you," answered the bank

velvet and satin. The velvet is edged
with a fine cream and gold braid.
The bodice is edged with mink-tail
fur where it opens over a vest of
white satin and a chemisette of real
lace. The sleeves are bell-shaped and
open below the elbow, with under
puffings of white silk. The wristband
and small shaped frill over the hands
are trimmed with brown velvet baby
ribbon. The skirt has graduated box
plaits at the foot, the plaits being
underneath, with trimming on each
of velvet edged with cream and gold
braid.
A beautiful gown on the tailor-made
order, designed for wear either in the
afternoon OF evening, is made of blue
b%roadcloth, with a demiprincess skirt
at the sides and back, and with girdle
of black velvet in front. The bottom
of the skirt has three bias founces,
stitched one on the other, with pip
ing underneath of black velvet. A
fancy bolero over a blouse of white
velvet, with lace applique on the turn
over collar and down the front.
Paquin sleeves, with pipings of black
velvet, and undersleeves of the white
velvet.
This tailor-made gown, designed for
afternoon and evening wear, illus
trates the possibilities of the tailor
made of this season. 1t has been some
time since we had gowns on the
tailor-made order that would have
been considered elaborate enough to
be suitable for such purposes. But
the tailor-made is tending toward
elaboration and becoming more and
more feminine. In fact, it is becom-
ing less and less a tailor-made.
Another of the new tailor-mades,
while less elaborate, is much more
startling in appearance. 1t is made
of black and gray cheviot, trimmed
with a narrow mixed-silk braid of the
same colors but with a little white
mingled with it. The braid extends
from the waist line down the front of
the skirt, with a diamond shape OF
black velvet just at the knees, the
black velvet revealing again in a
small panel shape at the foot of the
skirt, with three rows of braid to
finish at each side and at the hem OF
| the skirt. 1t has a tight-fitting jacket,
| with the velvet set in in diamond
shape at the bust line. The lower

outline of the marks on the blotter,
and you will see, in the first place, that
the message would just fit snugly on
this sheet. Next, you will probably
admit that the first line of marks on the
blotter probably contain a date; the
second, a name; the third, an address;
the last, a signature, and the interme-
date lines, a message"
81 am quite willing to conccde so
much; for no business man would be

Very we'll. Now, then, let me hold

remember, separate the words of the
message. Extend them mentally, and
note how they divide the letters of the

In a few minutes more the reporter
had drawn several lines on his copy of
the reflection in the mirror.
81 don't see that you are any better
off now than you were BEFORE re-
marked Dunlap, examining the result.
"Wait a minute. These verticallines,
we say, divide the words of the message.
There are five words to the line; only
two OF the last line before the sig

the message. Now, consider the first

Dunlap made the comparison.

illusions now appear plausible" he re-
luctantly admitted.
Sturgis shrugged his shoulders.

bank. Perhaps the necessary prepare

decision. This letter is the work OF a
cold and calculating nature, incapable
of ordinary human feeling. The man
who wrote it would not have written
to his wife at all, or would have written
only to serve some selfish purpose.
From what | know of Arbogast, | do
not believe he was capable of compos-
ing these lines"
You think, then, that the letter was
written by Chatham" said Dunlap.
'But what object could Chatham have
for writing such a letter?'
NO. answered Sturgis. 81 do not
think that Chatham wrote this letter.
That is the curious part of it.. cannot
believe that if Chatham had been
aware of the important nature of It's
contents, he could have been willing to
leave it for an instant within Arbn-
CASTS reach"
But who, then, could have been its
author, and why should he have in
trusted the letter to Chatham"
TO your second question, my answer
is. probably because he wanted it
mailed from the main post office at
about the time that A%rbogast would
leave the bank. To the first, | cannot
yet give any positive answer, although,
as you will presently see, there are
some clews pointing to our unknown
quantity * as the author of this let
ter. But let us not anticipate. Suppose
we return to cur drama. When Arbo-
CAST read this letter, he evidently
thought, as l do, that somebody was
playing him false; that he was to be
gotten rid of in some safer way than
exile; in short, that, as somebody said
of one of the Turkish sultans, he was to
be 'suicided.' He must have had strong
reason to suspect Chatham of treach-
cry; for he at once impulsively jumped
to the conclusion that his only chance
of safety lay in, striking before he
could be struck. AT any rate, while the
accountant was busy at the telephone,
Arbogast stood near this desk, mechan-
ically tearing to pieces this letter,
while he planned the accountants
death. He had taken with him your re-
volver. AS the thought of it flashed
upon his mind, his resolution was in
stantly taken. He stealthily crept to
the paying %teller's wicket. Through it
he could see the telephone closet, the
door of which.stood open. Chatham
was in direct range, as Arbogast raised
the pistol, and, without a word of warm
ing, fired. The accountant held the re-
ceiver of the telephone to his ear. This
saved his life; for the bullet entered his
left hand and remained embedded in
his flesh. When the bullet struck him,
Chathamfell forward, striking his head
against a corner of the telephone
box, and in1icting a slight scalp
wound. l found a few hairs of an
intensely red hue, which are evidently
his. | also found shreds of his cloth
ing which caught on a projecting nail
as he fell; and / infer from these bis
taste for loud dress. He recovered
himself before Arbogast was ready 20
fire a second time and ran into she
clerks room, probably hoping to maize
his way to the street through IT, e
Exchange Place door. But at tic
same time, Arbogast rushed throsea
the reception room and this office,
reaching the vestibule in time 10 head
off Chatham, who then turned back
and ran through the secretary's aocna,
with Arbogast in pursuit.

decidedly plain nature. They
- were but little trimmed, and
quite mannish in appearance. They
r still plain, but it is a plainness
that is more becoming to the average
woman than was the plainness of last
winter. In other words, it is a femi-
nine rather than a masculine plain
ness. And what a difference between
the two!
There is also greater variety Of
fered in the tailor-made garments of
this year than of last. There was
considerable variety of a certain kind
offered last winter, but after all every
garment had a decided resemblance to
every other garment, and there was
not sufficient latitude offered to secure
the desired variety. Then it was
strappings, and, while a variety of
ways were offered in which the strap
pings might be put on, yet they
looked very much the same in a gen
eral way when it was done. In the
end it was strappings just the same.
This winter there is a variety Of
fered in the cut of the gown; in the
ways of trimming and in the general
decoration. We have the tailor-made
skirt, with II or more shaped
founces, or we have the plated
skirt, or the plain skirt. And the
ways of trimming are wen more
variable than the ways of cutting.
The one thing that fashion demands
absolutely, in the tailor gown as we'll
as the evening or house gown, is a
decided fullness about the feet. For
this reason the shaped f1ounce skirts,
or the plated skirts, made with the
plating underneath, r popular.
Given this one thing, and almost any
tailor gown will pass as a modish gar
ment, but this fullness it must have.
One very dainty, yet not overly
elaborate tailor gown, the design of
which comes to us from London, is
of brown Venetian cloth, trimmed
with velvet and satin to match. The
bodice is slightly full, with strap
pings over the shoulders of brown

Sherman army, in its march
through Georgia, was nearing the end
of it's journey. 1t was within forty
miles of Savannah.
Having been pronounced "perma-

wound received at Second Manassas,
l had been assigned to an agency for
the collection Of the farmers title tax /,
or 'tax in kind" and was stationed
at Guyton, on the Central Railroad ,
thirty miles out from Savannah, and
was, of course, right in the line of the
army. On its approach I was ordered
to ship everything on hand to Savan-
nah and "dispose of myself as I saw
fit"
Knowing there was fine young
horse out at my fathers farm, only six
miles distant, awaiting my final "re-
turn from. the war;" I was not long in
deciding that the thing for me to do
WAS to get that horse and cline the
cavalry" leaving the question of
mounting and dismounting, with q
rather helpless loft leg, to the "inspi-
ration of tho occasion" So, early
next morning I set out and arrived
thero to find everybody busy Gliding
things and making ready for the mn,
