Be sure his words were as good as a
slap in the face to me. For l had
counted the hearse to lead me straight
to Master Tingcomb himself. III his
own house." tool A fright seized me
for Della. But first l must deal WITH
these scoundrels, who already were
dragging out the coffin.
STEADY, there| calls the minister.
The coffin was more than half way
outside. I levelled my pistol over the
edge of the tool chest. and fetched a
veil fit to wake a ghost-at the same
time letting fly straight for the min
lister.
In the flash of the discharge I saw
him, half turned, his eyes starting
and mouth agape. He clapped his hand
to his shoulder. On top Of his wild
shrek broke out a chorus of screams
and oaths, in the middle of which the
coffin tilted up and went over with a
crash. "Satan-Satan" bawled Sim
my, and, dropping the lantern, took 10
his heels for dear life. At the same
moment the horses took fright, and
before I could scramble out we were
tearing madly away over the turf ana
into the darkness. I had made a SAD
mess Of it.
Leaving Matt to mind the horses l
caught up the lantern and looked ABOUT
me. AS well as could be seen, we were
in a narrow meadow between two hills,
whereof the black slopes rose high
above US. Some PAGES to the right my
ear caught the noise of a stream run
ming.
I turned the lantern on the cofiin'
which lay face downward, and with a
gasp took in the game those precious
rosues had been playing. For, with
the fall of it, the board (being u
thin) were burst clean asunder; n
on both sides had tumbled out silver
CUPS, silver saltcellars, silver plates
and dishes, that in the lanterns rays
sparkled prettily on the turf. the
coffin, in short, was stuffed with
Delia's silverware.
I had picked up a great fagon, and
was turning it over to read the in
scription, when Matt Soames called
to me, ard pointed oycr the hill in
front. Above it the whole sky was red
and glowing.
Sure" said he, "'tis a fire out yon-
der!!"
"God help us, Mathis the House
Of Gleys!"
It took but two minutes to toss the
silver back into the hearse. 1 clapped
to the door, and, snatching the relns,
+ upon the drivers seat.

A New Feature OF Dress.

Quite a feature of walking, visiting,
and outdoor toilets generally is the
scarf Of silk which is tied or knotted
and is then drawn through sundry
Sits and straps. reappearing at inter-
vals in its progress down the front of
a jacket or bodice or blouse. 1t may
be knotted at the throat after passing
around the neck, and before beginning
its descent, or it may come down half
or all the way before the opposite
lengths are tied together. Free ends
are always permitted 10 fall loose in
any case. They may or may not be
tasseled. This is the latest touch of
Frenchincss. 1t is copied on linen
and flannel yachting gowns with good
effect.

Square Yoke Waist.

Square yolks are exceedingly fash
ionable and suit some figures and
faces better than any other sort. This
very pretty waist includes one that
extends over the shoulders, after the
prevailing style, and car be made
slightly low, as Illustrated, or high,
with a regulation stock. The model is
made of sheer white batiste, with the
yoke and cuffs of represe net banded
with lace insertion, the lining be-

cludes an oddly shaped yoke which is
eminently becoming and which gives
the dropping shoulder line. AS shown
the material is embroidered batiste,
with yoke and cuffs of Valenciennes
lace finished with little ruches of plain
muslin, and is unlined, but there are
innumerable fabrics which are equally
appropriate. Many simple silks of
the season are quite sufficiently youth
full and such light weight woods as
challie and yelling will be worn the
season through in addition to the
large number of cotton and linen
fabrics offered.
The waist consists of the fitted lin
ing. front and backs with the. yoke
and is closed invisibly at the back.

Custom of Wearing the Hair in Japan.

1t is in Japan where the women
wear their hair in a manner to indi-
cate whether they are maidens, wives
or widows. The hair of young girls is
arranged in front in the form of a
fan or the wings Of a butterfly, and it
is adorned with silver or colored or
naments. Wives usually have the hair
so dressed that there is a sort of wing
at each side, with q corresponding wing
at the back. Widows who are looking
for second husbands fa5ten the hair
at the back of the head by means OF
tortoise shell pins; and widows who
are resolved to remain forever faith
full to their departed spouses cut the
hair short and wear no ornament IN
it.
