FROM THE JAWS OF DEATH.
Thrilling Story of Race with Train
 with Child's Life as Stake.

Thrilling Story of Race with Train
 with Child's Life as Stake.
 It was Tuesday, the busiest day in the week in many cottage homes. Mrs. Thomas was bending over the washtub, hard at work.
 Playing with her doll in the kitchen was Rosie, the little three-year-old daughter of the house.
 "Muvyer" she lisped, "me wants 'oo to pay horses"
 Mothers busy. darling" was the reply. Play with dollie little longer" Rosie took Mrs. Thomas advice, and continued to play with her doll for q time; then. when mothers back was turned, she toddled out to the garden behind the house
 Along the foot of the garden ran branch line of the London and North western railway, the two being sep arated by only poor hedge, full of gaps.
 With her dollie under her arm Rosie wended her way down the garden path until she came to the hedge.
 Looking through this she espled a kitten basking In the sun on the rail- way bank.
 Kitty" called Rosie; Kitty, tum here"
 Kitty took no notice so Rosie tod died through a hole in the hedge, drop ping her doll in the process, and was just going to stroke the kitten when 1t woke up and strolled off.
 Rosie followed it along the bank. Then the kitten wandered on to the line.
 Still Rosie followed. all unconscious of danger
 Mrs. Thomas had now looked up from her work and missed her little one.
 Rosie. Rosie" she called But there was no answer.
 Remembering the railway, she rushed out into the garden. and there by the hedge she saw the doll.
 Rosie must have strayed on to the track; and she could hear a train com ing.
 She wasted no time in crawling through the hedge; and then, to her horror, saw Rosie some distance ahead walking calmly towards the approach ing train.
 In anguish the mother started at run, waving her apron the while in order to attract the attention of the engine driver. But was 1t possible to stop the train in time?
 Nearer and nearer came the snort ing engine, but still Rosie pursued the kitten.
 The mother, her steps hastened by terror, sped on down the track, flying before the engine. The rush of wind from the iron monster brushed her aside into the ditch. She shut her eyes to close out the horror her breath seeming to stop.
 At last the terror stricken mother heard the brake applied, and the train began to move more slowly. Rosie had been seen, but she was not out of danger yet.
 Then from the footplate there leaped the fireman.
 At top speed he ran, and, racing tho engine, snatched the little one from the line just in time
 A moment later the train passed over the spot and came to a standstill, crushing the kitten beneath it's ponder ous wheels Rosie was restored to her mother unhurt.

Love.-To many a man who never amounted to anything the honest, pure love of a true woman has been an incentive to him to make something of himself for her sake; and whenever the love of God comes into the human heart 1t drives out evil and seeks to clothe itself with living and loyal ac. tion.-Rev.

How Jennie Learned

Always until just lately Jennie Brew

SPRING MODES.
n Peep Into the Future-Ths UbfQui-
tous Shirt Waist.


Gravely we have listened to the au-
thorities when they told US that sepa-
rate and shirt waists are entirely out
OF style, but here we have in the new
est of the spring garments the largest
and the prettiest stock of such things l
have ever seen. And the style varies
with every one of them. Some have
regular Garibaldi straps down the
shoulders, while others show set straps
ell the way down the sleeves, starting
from the neck band. The bishop sleeve
still holds its own and is apparently
better liked than any other. There are
slight differences, such as wide or mar
row cuffs and full gathered tops OF
tucked ones. Some sleeves have three
and four puffs ending in a rufie of
some kind, lace generally.
The leg o. mutton sleeve is back to
stay, and between it and the big bag
gy bishop sleeve the leg O. mutton is to
be chosen. A novelty in a sleeve of
this kind is shown in the illustration.
The upper part of the sleeve is cut
very snug, and it is therefore open
from the bend of the elbow down and
buttons all along. The line Of buttons
comes just back of the seam, and as
the buttons are brighter than the ma
terial they form a sort of trimming
The waist Of which this sleeve is the
adjunct is of coin spotted velutina in
q deep, rich damson prune. 1t is cut
away at the neck and has wide band
of plain black velutina, this overlaic
with point lace. Still above this Is tho
chemisette of lace over an inset oi
cream silk The belt is a crush affair
built on the tight foundation.
For an afternoon tea there is dainty
device in the form Of a light printed
silk with deliciously vague designs il
tints and colors on a white ground
This has a yoke simulated by shirrings
in which fine pipings are run ant
drawn up in such a way as to outlin
the yoke. The top is finished with
lace stock, and the cuffs are made fl
the same way. The sleeves are plail

"That's one reason why my five min

On the whole, I'm not sure the sort OF

than she who "hangs on" indefinitely.
The great idea is TO get rid Of things
when they are going out Of style or you
feel you won't need them any more-to
get rid Of them at that very moment
and let the money go toward the new
things needed instead OF boarding use

The revers were OF a SOFT snaue OF Ian
to match the lightest shade in the bro
cade Of the basque. This also had
bishop sleeves, with lace cuffs.
For. more ordinary requirements we
may find hundreds Of different waists,
mostly on the shirt waist plan. These
have plaits somehow or somewhere.
In one instance / noticed a dainty
waist Of white wash silk, with three
hemstitched tucks just above the belt
running around the waist. while at
the shoulders there were three length
wise tucks. The sleeves, just at the
elbow, had three tucks each an inch
wide and were finished in bishop form,
with lace CUTS.
In the mercerized cheviot we find
many very stylish and comparatively
inexpensive waists. The general plan
Of these is to have three tucks on each
side of the front and a wide center or
namented with several fancy buttons
and stitching. There are tucks at the
tops and bottoms Of the sleeves, which
are always bishop. Stocks are made tc
match or fancy STOCKS may De W0th
The plaits are narrow ia these and dc
not reach very far down.
Another pleasing general fashion Is
the waist with wide box plaits which
reach from shoulder to waist line-on'
on each side, one in the middle il
front and two in the back. A plaiI
lace stock finishes these prettily. Th'
sleeves are bishop and simply gath

many that no one could tell all abOu
them, but a woman can have any kin'
of a waist she wants If she will bea
in mind that there is little pouching il
the front. There is a certain amour
