even the children become imbued with
the ideas of possibilities undreamed
of in the days of Puritan orthodoxy.
An old lady who is living up to

ready to believe and interest herself
in every new mechanical device pos
sible for her to utilize, resolved to
purchase a typewriter. and became
quite an expert in its use.
Her young granddaughter was great

The younger man obeyed, and catch

they placed his hat upon his head, and
in a half-conscious way he made an
effort to walk, so that they had no diff

'Now, then, button-up. I'll hold
him." said the elder man.
But when we get him in the

"Well-what? He's drunk. Well
get him in a cab. No one will inter

Quick! shut that door; and then turn

The orders were obeyed; and as soon
as they stood in the darkness the
lobby-door was opened, where the red
light gave them sufficient illumination
to finish their proceedings.

The outer door was opened, and with
very little difficulty Mark Heath was
half-lifted half-led outside. in an inert.
helpless condition, his brain STEPPED
in sleep, and his mind a blank. Then
the two men stood in the snow,
listening for a sound within the house.
1t was the elder who spoke then:
Get your arm we'll under him. Hold

then, come on"
At that moment John Whyley turned

SLEEVES NO LONGER MoNoPo.
LIE ATTENTION OF FAIR SEX.
BUT SKIRTS IMPORTANT
FuIIness Continues to Increase
Street Gowns are Shorter, Some
Escaping the Ground by Four
Inches-Panels Very Smart-Some
Pretty Effects.

A year ago every woman in having
her gowns made thought only OF the
sleeves; the rest Of the gown mattered
little compared to the one great, i'm
portant question of her arm covering,
and whether there should be two
inches of fullness at the shoulder or
none at all.
And now, says a Paris correspond
ent, it is the question OF skirts that
keeps her mind busy. And it is a
large question. for there have been so
many radical changes in skirts in the
last few months, and Just what one
particular style will be selected as
1.-The Skirt no woman can surmise.
This is the vaudeville age of skirts,
and in vaudeville, as in all things else,
it is the survival of the fittest. So
let the woman who hesitates select the
skirt that is the most becoming to her
individually and she is sure to be in
the best of style. Certain it is that
the natives of the world are constantly
growing better dressed, and one of the
great reasons for this is that women
use more common sense than ever be
fore and refuse to wear clothes that
are not becoming. This surely creates
a wide range of styles and gives every
woman a certain style that fits her.
while it opens up a way for change of
the adage of our grand-mOthers, and
even our mothers, that what is
stylish is pretty Rather, we should
say: What is pretty is stylish"
Walking Skirts.
Skirts are growing larger The
most approved walking skirt just
covers the instep, clearing the ground
by four or five inches.
Afternoon gowns. reception and din
ner gowns. all show very full skirts,
long on the sides and back. These
demi trains, with the length so well to
the sides, are very difficult to manage
gracefully. But they are very smart
and becoming to all women.
There are many new skirts seen,
cut in several cores; in fact, any num-
Der from three to eleven, that are laid
in one or two box plaits in the middle
of the back.
The fulness across the back is
growing wider In thin materials the
fullness is often merely gathered into
the waist line. Again, it is laid in fine
tucks.
In the heavier materials the plat
ing seems to rule. Two double box
plaits stitched down are very smart
Half dozen or eight plaits an inch or
half an inch wide, set close together
and turned toward the center seam,

decanter and glass, when the younger
man spoke:
why, Roers, old chap!"
The man addressed turned his wild
staring eyes at him for a moment, as
if to answer, and then walking blindly

go straight to the wall, reeled and fell,
catching at the cloth, which he drag
ged aside, nearly causing the lamp to
go crashing on the floor.
For a few moments the others stood
aghast, staring at their PROSTATE COM
panion, who writhed slightly for a
brief period, uttering a curious sound,
and then lay upon his back, stretched
out motionless.
The younger man was the first to
recover himself
"Help!" he gasped, in a hoarse
whisper.
Hush cried his companion; "are
you mad?"
He raised his life-preserver threaten
ingly, and the other gazed at him with
CHASTITY face and staring eyes.
what shall we dO?" he whispered.
Keep your head, and don't be a
fool" was the reply.
AS the bearded man spoke he went
down on one knee, thrust his hand into
his comrades breast, and then rose
quickly.
What is it, Harry-poison?"
Yes, grim death, lad"
''Then, we've got it, too"
"No-all right The fool! Smell
that glass"
He took up and held the tumbler to
his nose, and then passed it to his
companion, who smelt it, and put it
down with a shudder.
Come on" he painted; let's get
away"
Without the diamonds-now?
I'm no use," groaned the younger
man.
Hold up, curse you! It's fortune

to divide between two instead of
three"
"Hah!" calculated the other, upon
whom his comrades words acted like
magic. I'm all right, now. Quick!
let's have EN-"
The elder man had already thrust
his hand into Marks breast.
"Well?"
"All right"
Are they there?"
yes; safe enough"
Get 'em out, then, and let's go.
Curse it! Look at old Rogers eyes,"
There was dull heavy sound of a
door banged, and the two men started
up in an agony of dread that the spoil
for which they had toiled so patiently
and long. never getting it within their
clutch till now, was about to be
snatched away.
1t was a door that that been banged
and in their ignorance of the con-
figuration of the place they did not
realize that it was in the next house.
Keep your head" said the elder
man.
Right I'm cool enough" was the
reply. Quick! get 'em out, and let's
go!"
1T would take half an hour to get
at them. He has belt buckled round
his waist under everything. and
there1l be stones sewn into his clothes
all over"
Curse it ALL"
Hush! Quick! Take hold of that
ulster, and there's his hat"
What are you going to do?"
We've got him. He's drugged and
We can do what we like"
What! bring him away?"
Yes. Quick! take hold of that
arm!"
