1T Is q lie, and 1t means a prison." he
replied, ltersely. Then, bending over the
wounded man: HE must be brought to
camp" he said; "and you-you are
wretchedly uncomfortable; come,
let us"
But she interrupted him. II will not

Bending low he whispered: Burr is

A mischievous smile dimpled the cor
ners of her mouth, and a little color
crept into her pale cheeks.
Pardon me. | have the orders to arrest
you;" and she slipped the dispatches
into their hiding place, and over the
tell-tale spots of blood arranged anew
the folds Of her scanty gown.
Winslow was about to demonstrate,
but she shook her head in warning as
the Indian stirred restlessly and opened
his eyes. He tried to rise, but sank back
helpless.
"The wound is slight" Winslow said,
after a hasty examination; 'but he is
faint from loss of blood. I will have a
litter brought here as quickly as pos
sible."
Lavender put out her hand, and,
grasping his sleeve, pulled him toward
her, until her lips were very near his
ear. First you must promise me to say
nothing Of the dispatches-let us talk
it over Do nothing RASH"
He pressed her hand in both of his,
and, with a significant smile, hurried to
the fort.
Soon the Indian rallied a little, and
struggled to a sitting posture.
BE patient; n has gone for help"
Lavender said.
There was blood on her dress where
the dusky head had lain, and the girl,
tired and weak after the cramped posi-
ton, staggered to her feet and leaned
against a tree with an exhausted sigh.
All this the red man noted. white
maiden tired?" Then his eyes sought
the knapsack, and he made an effort to
reach 1t. Lavender quietly handed it to
him, though her heart beat violently.
See, it is empty" she said.
A strange smile crossed the mans
dark face-a smile of cunning, secret in
telligence. Only for an instant; it
passed, and he wore again the impressive
look-his savage soul once more a pris-
oner behind the inscrutable eyes.
ut is empty he agreed, repeating
her words and infection; "Owatoga has
lost the dispatches"
Then, stretching out his hand for the
sack, he deliberately dropped it in the

Shorter Grow Skirts.

Skirts are going up, not in price, but
in length. Where the skirts which
came to the ankle were not only sen.
sible but becoming, the length at
which the young women at Newport
are wearing their skirts this season
can be called only sensible, for it is
an absurd and ~unbecoming length.
They are worn between four and six
inches above the ankle, and make the
petite small girls look like mature
children Of IL and 10, and the taller
girls like overgrown children OF the
same age. All the morning gowns Of
the debutantes are made Of this awk.

gerie hats above the effect is OF being

hollow of the tree back of him. There
it lay out of sight. Satisfied that it was
safely hidden, the Indian hung his head
YEARLY, and neither moved nor spoke.
Lavender, too, stood silent, with every
nerve alert-waiting.
It was not long before she heard voices
and the tramp Of feet. Led by Winslow,
4 party of soldiers from the fort came to
tie relief. A few questions were asked,
and Lavender stold her story. Her de-
scription of the second Indian who had
SO mysseriously come and gone, led
them to believe him a wandering hunter
whose arrow had flown wide of the mark.
He doubtless belonged to the Osages of
which tribe the wounded man was a
member. Examination of the tattoo
marks had satisfied him that he and his
victim were akin-that they worshiped
the Great Spirit and tortured their en-
emies after the same good way.
Probably there would have been no
trouble in any event, but now they might
feel doubly secure.
And you Owatoga, you come from
Washington"
The Indian nodded, and his question
era corporal Of the guard-persisted:
But where are the dispatches?"
In the seconds pause which followed,
Lavender held her breath.
"Owatoga has lost them" the Indian
grunted, and, with a show of great ia
tigue, his head fell forward on his
breast.
beg pardon, corporal" Lavender in
terfered. "You see he Is SO weak; can.
not the questions waltz"
Obedient to her suggestion, the squad
proceeded to camp, bearing the wounded
man on the litter.
Winslow and the corporal walked
with Lavender. The officer said: 1T is
curious that Owatoga should have lost
those dispatches. He is frequently sent
from Fort Washington here, and Is usu-
ally careful. He had nothing In the way
of papers when he fell, Miss Creighton?"
Lavender paused to ~disentangle a bit
Of briar from her skirt, and replied,
without looking up: Indeed, you can
well imagine that | was too frightened
to pay much attention to particulars"
Il am sure it was a pretty hard expe-
rience," the soldier agreed. "She is
plucky, isn't she?" he said to Winslow,
with an admiring nod in Lavender's d.
rection.
Very" was the laconic response, but
Winslow's manner as he took her arm
implied much more.
The soldier chatted aimlessly, and in
silence the two followed him back to
camp. Occasionally the maid stole 3
glance half humble. half defiant, at
Winslow. He would shake his head
with a severe f~rown-which, however,
lost effect from the smile in his eyes,.
At the bastion gate they separated,
and while the corporal went In advance.

to the scrapheap. He who has that goal in view will get the scrap
heap long before his time.
If a man starts out in life with the purpose to accumulate wealth
or power at the expense of his felowmen, if his only purpose in exist
ence is to gather to himself a certain measure of power or aggrandize-
ment, then it will be very fortunate for his ~neghbors if he starts early
toward the scrapheap.
But if a man is inspired with the high ideal of service to his fellow
man, the longer he lives the better it is for himself and the community
in which he lives.
But it is true that a man should work hard, and endeavor through
out all his days tobe of service to the community Of which he is a
member. If he succeeds in this he will be all the worthier the longer
he lives.
The question then resolves itself into this: Is old age desirable
as the conclusion Of a life well spent in the cause Of mankind or OF rp-
lifting endeavor, or Isl it desirable as the selfgratifed end Of years Of
toll, sel6shly devoted to the prospect Of accumulation that will enable
the possessor to lie back and enjoy luxurious ease while watching the
toiing procession OF the poor pass BY?
III is the latter, old age IS not worth
while striving for; if it is the former, tits AA- E-Z
well worth all the effort that is required y
to secure it.

a fever and, throwing the hot blankets
from me, stepped to the open window.
My bedroom faced the north, and the
cool airs that heralded the dawn wan
dered over me, reducing the fume and
fire of my nerves. Far away some
roistering bird was calling, not in his
spring notes, but raucous now with the
of the dawn was lifting. 1t was time
for me to relieve Sheppard. My watch

fears. Was Sheppard murdered? And
were the castle and it's treasure now in
