1t was nearly IL o'clock when the
stranger set out on his way TO the upper
estate. He had carefully loaded his pis-
tolls. His guide was a finely built,
muscular fellow, not more than % years
OF age. and showing in his countenance
goodly share OF intelligence and cum
ming. Mari Laroon wished his guest a
prosperous Journey. For some distance
Mr.. Fox and his gnide rode side by side.
and though Fox tried to engage the fell

manifested desire to be wholly silent,

were asked.
The path seems perfectly plain" said
the gentleman, after they had ridden
some three miles along a wide cart road.
1T is different after we pass the ra-
vine" returned Warda, uninteutionaliy
laying peculiar stress upon the last
word.
II was beautiful ride. for the path
ran along upo0 the rivers bank. and
the f0liage was lovely in the extreme.
Yet the traveller did not find much time
10 enjoy il. for his mind was busy in
another quarter. Sometimes the road
took q curve away from the river 10

the bank; and at length Fox saw. at

Death-Dealing Wire Fences

Since the use OF wire fences has be-
come so extensive the number of cat
tie killed each year by lightning has
greatly increased. Farmers insurance
companies have investigated the mat
ter. and now come forward with a
warning to policy holders. Nearly all
OF the cattle killed by lightning have
met their death in open fields. where,
IN many instances. there was not even
a tree to attract the electric fluid. As
many dead cattle were found near
wire fences, this led to the discovery
that the lightning was carried along
the wires composing the fences. Dur
ing q severe storm cattle are liable TO
run until stopped by a fence. Here
they stand huddled together ready for
the bolt A remedy is suggested in
running a ground wire every ten rods
several feet into the earth.

selves set off with needlework, and then
is added almost a wholesale quantity of
other decoration. These standards are
for -ups-evening and reception
wear-and a gathering of women in
such raiment will be fairly bewildering
In the matter of colors alone, the trend
Is not such as altogether to please wom-
en- of subdued tastes. Sold color stuffs
run so much to bright tones that choosers
of less assertiye shades will be likely in
the end to become dissatisfied with their
selections. Assertive tones of red and
of yellow, also of orange, are much used,
and the combinations affected are enough
to make the doubling observer blink.
Even browns. which are to rank high in
stylishness. are to be found in many
tints bordering so closely on yellow or
red that they hardly pass as quiet Yet
the shades of brown that easily escape
conspicuOusneSs are many. and in them
those who do not want their gowns to
stand right out will find favoring OPP
Jortunity The stylishness Of dresses in
two or three shades of the same color,
too, are an acceptable medium. In
browns this scheme is worked very hap
PLY, and even in browns more posi-
tive shades. the trick reduces the assert
iyeness Of the color of the main material.
The extraordinary fullness of the new
skirts should not cause surprise, since
their hugeness has been a matter of slow
growth. The proportions shown in mod
els for early winter surely are the limit,
but the end is not yet, for the next
thing is to stiffen them. This process al
ready is beginning. A little is positively
necessary to support the fullness, the
dressmaker viii say, and not without
some truth. If she and the developers Of
fashions only will stop at a little, all will
be well. But this course leads to stiff
ness that is ungainly. Further. the ten
dency toward positive effects makes
hoops or some unhandsome substitute for
them the more possible. But they are

Early Wives in Virginia.

''In looking over some old documents
relating to the colonizing of Virginia
1 found that the purchase of Young
women as wives was in vogue in the
early settlement of that State" said
a New Orleans Times-Democrat man.
"a letter accompanying one of these
shipments, mad dated London, Aug u,
1921, is illustrative of the simplicity
of the times and the concern for the
welfare of the colony. 1t is as fol-
lows:
I'VE send you, in the ship, one
the people of Virginia; there has been
especial care had in the choice of
them; for there hath not any of them
been received but upon good recon-
mendations. In case they cannot be
presently married, we desire that they
be put with several householders that
have wives, till they can be provided
with husbands. There are nearly fifty
more that are shortly to come, and
are sent by our most honorable lord
and treasurer, the Earl of Southamp-
ton, and certain worthy gentlemen.
who, taking into consideration that
the plantation can never flourish till
families be planted, and the respect of
wives and children for their people
on the soil, therefore have given this
fair beginning, for the reimbursement
of whose charges it is ordered that
every man that marries them gives
120 pounds of best leaf tobacco for
each of them. Though we are DESTROYS
that the marriage be free, according
to the law of nature, yet we would
not have these maids deceived and
married to servants, but only to such
freemen or tenants as have means to
maintain them. We pray you, there
fore. to be fathers to them in this
business, nor enforcing them to marry
against their wills"

The annual report of the Superin-
tendent of Indian Schools, Miss Els
telle Reel. has been submitted to the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs. 1t is
shown that educational adyancements
have been made during the year in
che general field Of Indian education.
The Indian child is taught to speak
English in shorter time than for
merly. The policy of giving agricul-
ture the foremost place in Indian edu-
cation has been continued during the
year, and the results obtained are sat
iSfactory. The report states that
marked improvements have been made
in the method of instructing the boys
in the various trades and the girls in
cooking. sewing, laundry work and
general housekeeping. A feature of
the report is the evidence ii gives that
the Indian is altering his ways of liv-
ing to meet the requirements of an
advancing civilization through the edu-
cational influence of the schools upon
the children, who are being taught the
white mans way of living.
