''Ah, poor mani" she exclaimed. mo
wonder you have been driven to irreg-

crime. Now, would you mind removing
your mask? l am consumed with Curl

event. You see I've been anticipating
this moment for years. I've formed a
dozen pictures of you in my mind, and
do so hope you won't disappoint me.
Tell me first, are you good-looking?"

'Not in the least" said with convic-

She looked quite dissatisfied.
Perhaps you are not a competent

Il have perfect confidence in my own

you doubt me, pray permit me to

cried out loud and sharp.
''No, no; you are not to move your
hands, you know. 1t is never allowed"
Pray, then, my dear young lady,
how am to uncover my face?"
She considered a moment.
Il think" she remarked presently,
that l shall be obliged to do it for

flesh. and felt my heart beat In ecstasy
at the near proximity of the lovely
form. Joy was it to be burglar. to
find ones self detected In crime, to suf-
fer imprisonment-aye, even death II
sslf, for the delight of feeling that soft
hand steal to ones cheek. of drinking
deep of the intoxicating beauty of those
wonderful violet eyes, of tasting that
fragrant breath upon the lips.
One moment-and the fair shapely
hand dropped again to its former posi-
ton, the mask held daintily between
its white fingers. Another, and a soft
murmur of pleasure and approval es-
capped the curved, red lips.
My divinity was evidently well
pleased with her capture. She smiled
triumphantly. And IL was complete

But bark. what was that? A noise

lover to the commonplace burglar.
My divinity was far too much occu

Burglar-like l took advantage of her

HE WAS CURED OF LYING.
Singular Instance Which Broke a Bo.

Singular Instance Which Broke a Bog
of a Bad Habit.
Rev. DR.. Twining, when he was pas
tor of the Congregational Church in
Hinsdale, Mass. told of the paradoxical
way in which the habit he had when a
little boy of telling startling big stories
TO his mother was once for all and
completely broken up, says writer in
the Independent. He had prevailed on
his mother, after much earnest en-
treaty, he said, to buy for him half a
dozen Shanghai hens-Kinsley giving
as reason for the purchase that the
Shanghai was vastly better layer than
the ordinary hen.
After waiting a good while for some
evidence of this greater fecundity his
mother said to him one day: How
about your big Shanghais, Kinsley? In
stead of laying better. they don't seem
to have laid at all' Yes, they are
laying. tell you, mother; there's a
nest now under the cows crib with
twenty-thre6eggs in it," well, Bridg
ct, go and get Kinsley to show you
where they are and bring them in
"Well," said the doctor, Il did not
even know for certain that there was
a nest there, much less that there were
any eggs In it. However, as l was in
for 1t, went to the barn with Bridget,
put my arm down into the hole in
the corner of the cows crib, felt and
took out an egg and put 1t in the
basket. Then | reached in and took
out "a ell just twenty-three eggs. Out
wardly," continued the doctor, II was
triumphant, but l was soon smitten
with not only remorse. but terror-ter-
ror because / thought that Satan was
encouraging me TO cast in my lot With
him by helping me out with my men,

abound. These, too, are very light, so
thae they are hardly more lasting than
the whites, but they are very pretty. The
newer gowns in cloth do not show quite
as many colors in their trimmings and
cordings. Self-strapping is a stylish fin
ish, and as good way to finish tailor
gown as can be designed, because there
is tirmness to such trimming and the
gown can be made to fit finely. Mixed
suitings in novelty goods where gray and
white are combined ale in favor and are
serviceable stuffs. TLen numerous black
and white shepherd checks are seen, both
In cloth and silk. These are very strik-
ing when piped with black. Trimming
on tailor suits is not so profuse, though
the suits are far froIl severe. See to-
days initial for an illustration of the
stylish amount of garniture. Light gray
silk and wool aeolieane was trimmed
with black braid for this suit.
Jackets for the street show so much
diversity in cut that a woman may be
excused for being greatly puzzled over
making a selection. They vary from the
tight-htting strapped hour-glass model,
to the loose sort resembling a mans sack
coat Some suits of the shepherds checks
are made severely plain with three-quar-
tiers length coat These have a horsy,
sporty look On the other hand, not a
few stylish gray suits are so light as to
lack character, and that is a thing to
guard against. Sleeves of summer suit
jackets are very large and loose at the
wrists, thus suggesting GOODNESS. Innings
for these garments are of light shades
of silk. even where the outer material
is dark. Either gray or white is used
almost exclusively, else, as one tailor
said, it would make the suit too heavy.
1t is hard to see just why a light weight
of black silk will make the jacket any
heavier than the same weight of light
silk, but the tailor knows, trust him.
The lessening of trimmings in tailor
gowns is due to desire to mark more
plainly the difference between street
gowns and the more dressy attire that

Fashion Notes.

The new tendency is toward the deep
pointed girdle.
Straw buttons stud the lace on hand
some imported hats.
Tucking is in favor. 1t must be very
fine or very coarse.
Medallons of lace in all sorts and
sizes are much liked.
White serge is the favored material
for fair ones who a-yachting so.
A dressing sack of yellow India silk
made short In the back and with long
tab ends in the front is profusely trim
med with black lace.
A rosepink silk skirt has a deep ruffie
of the pink, which is crossed by inser-
tons of fine yalenciennes lace in a sort
of latticework design.
The stole Is a pronounced feature of
the spring fashions. 1t does not confne
itself to one style of costume; it is seen
quite as frequently in the lace robe as
the smart-looking walking costume.
Some of the turbans are as smart as
they are plain. One in black shows only
two bows on each side of the back caught
by a jet buckle
Perhaps the pref st shirt or slip
blouse sleeve is that y Itch, ending above
the elbow, surges out into a large puff"
and is caught in the deep 'mitten" gaunt-
let cuff. For very smart slips we have
the elbow sleeve with long, half hand

Political Potnourri.


If there is to be no more trust-bust-
ing what was the good of whetting our
appetites with just smell OF the
ham on the bread.
Judge Thayer, who wrote the merger
decision. Is a Democrat, when the case
gets to the Supreme Court, the Repub-
lican majority there may reverse the
decision and give Wall street another
lease of life for its railroad combina-
lions.
Secretary Hay had to take the back
track and express regret to Russia
over his temporary misconception"
Of that country's purpose relative to
Manchuria. Our State Department
does not seem to have much concep-
ton of what diplomacy really is-a
struggle for spoils.
The astronomers tell US that the
weather is governed by spots on the
sun and that these spots were the
cause of the panic of 1923. AS spots
are again appearing and the weather
in consequence is very unreasonable.
another panic is probable unless the
astronomers are mistaken.
President Roosevelt did not care to
tackle the Iowa Idea" when in the
Hawkeye State, though it was the
paramount question that the people
were Interested In There Is a vast
difference between the President seek
ing a denomination and trying to pro-
pitiate all factions of the Republican
party and the strenuous Rough Rider.
The supercilious Senator Lodge, who
suppressed the senate investigation
of fraud and cruelties In the Philip
pines Is much exasperated at Gen.
Miles for exposing the true conditions
In the islands. Lodge Is an aristocrat
and an imperialist and believes in the
Hamiltonan theory of the rule Of the
few. in criminal aggression and the
mailed hand and unfortunately the
President takes counsel with him.
The Land Department at Washing
ton was intent a few months ago on
wiping out the monopoly of the public
lands in the West by the cattle barons.
Col. Mosby was sent out there to cut
tna barbed wire fences and allow the
settlers a chance But suddenly Col.
Mosby was ordered to Washington and
the cattle barons are holding the fort.
Another scandal will be uncovered
when the matter Is investigated.
Everything seems to depend on Wall
street industrially and politically. yet
Wall street depends upon the crops TO
furnish freight for the railroads and
the trusts even depend upon the farm
ers and the workingmen to consume
their products. The farmers are en-
tlrely at the mercy Of the elements
so that the weather this summer may
be said to rule the stock market and
a drouth may upset all political cal
culatlons. a - z ~ IT, ~
Ex- Congressman Loud. who was
chairman Of the Postofice COMMITTEES

scandal has been brewing for some

is conclusive that the administration
knew Of the rottenness in the depart
ment long before It took any steps to
investigate and is responsible for the
unfortunate conditions that prevail.
