certainly be recommended. Several

Fancy Shoe Tops a New Fad

A great deal should be said about the
new shoes, which are pretty enough to
be seen. They need not be hidden by
the gown for they are dressy in them
selves. They are made of handsome ma

may be they are pretty to gaze upon.

4 ModIsR Handbag.

Although the new handbags are made
as fat az possible they seem to hold
quite as much as those that apparently
have more room inside and space is so
utilized that an up-tO-date handbag Is
a perfect treasure house for the womal'
who carries il. An unusually handsome
bag shown recently was Of light green
undressed kid with gold fittings In ad-
ditton 10 the bag proper there was an
extra flap that added little to the bulk
of the bag, yet IL contained a mirror

NEW GLOVES AND HOSIERY.

The changes are being continually
rung on the glove and stocking ex-

always be seen If one looks for them.

blame is put on the indulgent and care

 La Salle thereupon thanked them fo, their gifts. but asked when they them
 selves were going to depart, and leave the Illini in peace. This raised storm of angry feelings. and murmurs were heard on all sides that they would yet eat the flesh of the Tllini. La SalIn then kicked over the pile of beaver skins. saying that he would not re. ceive them if they were going to eat the children of the great Onontio.

Down the sluggish bosom of the Illini they passed into the broad ex- panse of the Mississippi Soon the mouth of the Ohio was seen and the heat of summer became more and more intense. Here and there they met with bandss of sayages living on the banks of the mighty river. These were approached with the calumet, the sign of peace, and the white trav- elers were entertained with feasts and dances. while presents and promises were interchanged. La Salle ha- rangued the listeners, assuring them of the great kings friendship and power, and claiming all the territory through which he passed for his sov- ereign.
 Soon the great stream writhed in sinuous course, many marshes were passed, and the sultry heat of an al most tropical sun rendered the work of paddling very fatiguing. They stopped to rest at one place and vis- ited at short distance inland the great town of the Taensas. Here Father Membre was shocked to find a temple of the sun, with sacred fire kept constantly alight. The chief admitted them to his temple as well as his lodge, and eternal friendship with the French was sworn. Thus over many weary league of tortuous water-course did they pass until the overwhelming river told them of the approach of their journeys end. The channel divided into .three,- and talk ing the middle one, they soon found before their wearied eyes the dancing waters of the gulf
 Here they landed, and column was erected bearing the arms of France, on' which was inscribed:
 LOUIS LE GRAND, ROY DE
 FRANCE EFT DE NAVARRE
 REGNE."
 A Te Deum was chanted, and amid the shouts of savage voices, the cries of 'Vive le Roi!" from the French, and the firing of guns, La Sale took possession of all the country drained by the great Mississippi and it's tribu- taries under the name of Louisiana, for the French king and his successors. Thus on summer day did that vast expanse from the Alleghanies to the Rockies, from the unknown country far northward of the great lakes to the gulf, pass to the crown of him who, thousands of leagues away, was en- gagged in wasting the revenues of great nation on the fripperies of cor rupt court and the transient glories of Versailles.

: CHAPTER XXIY.

SHOWS THAT THE LIFE OF AN FIX
 PLORER IS FAR FROM TAME.
 After Tonti's departure for Quebec, La Salle had proceeded tc' occupy his force as best he might until his return. The building of vessel progressed Lut slowly. owing to continual dissatis- faction and unrest among his men. Thinking to find work that would engage all their strength and time, he set out with one of the more trust worthy. the young Sieur de Boisrondet, together with two Recollet friars, Father Membre and Father Ribourde, and ascended the river to the spot where lay the great city of the Illini He had long felt that if the height overlooking this town could be forti- fled and held, an impregnable fortress would be secured which would serve not only as a menace to all the h. dians of the region. but would become an admirable storehouse for the furs that could be collected. While thus engaged at the town of the friendly Illini. one of the men who had been left behind at Fort Creve-C,eur ar rived. bringing the disastrous news that the entire force remaining there had mutinied, destroyed the fort, and taken to the woods to lead the free rowing life of the coureurs-de-bois that they all so much desired. Thus were these three Frenchmen and the two priests left alone. They made their quarters in the Illini town. There was now no hope of fortifying the rock even. until Tonti's return.
 Thus passed the spring With the early summer came the news that car ried dismay to the hearts of all their sewage allies: the ferocious Iroquois were on the march to attack them Confusion reigned. The white men were instantly accused of being Iro- cuois spies. and the approaching at tack was attributed to their doings. Fer a tine it looked to all as though in the heat and excitement of the mo- ment they would be sacrificed to the fear and anger of the frightened say ages. Bpt La Sale boldly proclaimed that the whites were friends of the IIIini- and to prove this said they vc7ld join them in their defense against the o1coming enemy. This oerysd to step any active measures
