 With this foolishness rose, thNIoE the beads into my pocket. and paddled home in the waning glory of the ouur set. Q
 That night. as was going quite lato to bed, bearing candle to light m through the dark hall to my room, [ heard a curious sound, as of some one walking in the house. At first thought Bates was still abroad, but l wanted, listening for several minutes, without being able to mark the exact direction of the sound or to identify 1t with him. I went on to the door of my room. and still mufled step seemed to follow me,-frst 1t had come from below, then it was much like some one going up stairs,-but where? In my own room still heard steps, light. slow but distinct. Again there was stum- ble and hurried recovery. ghosts. ! reflected, do not fall down stairs!
 The sound died away, seemingly In some distant part of the house, and though prowled about for an hour it did not recur that night.

Leather s,..enino,.

No smarter touch can be given q cloth coat at this season than a series of leather stitchings and facings. The new feathers display glorious range of color. the tans and golden browns leading. followed by greens, ranging from myrtle to lily leaf. Then come the reds, from wine to poppy; the violets. mauves and blues, all being calculated to enhance the effect of a well-cut cloth coat by giving pleasing relief to collars. revers. cuffs and pockets.
 Probably tke most practical fashions of the season are those expressed in wraps of all kinds. and though many are extremely simple. they lose noth- ing in smartness for so being.

CHAPTER VIII. 4 etrina of Gold Reada.


 A moment after l had flung myself down before the fire. Bates entered with a fresh supply of wood. watched him narrowly for some sign of perturbation, but he was not to be caught off guard. Possibly he had not heard the shots in the wood: at any rate. he tended the fire with his usual gravity. and after brushing the hearth paused respectfully.
 'Is there anything further, sir?"
 q believe not. Bates. Oh! here's a hammer I picked up out in the grounds a bit ago. wish you'd see if 1t be- longs to the house.
 He examined the implement with care and shook his head.
 Tt doesn't belong here. I think, sir. But we sometimes find tools left by the carpenters that worked on the house. Shah I put this in the tool chest. sir?"
 Never mind. I need such a thing now and then and I'll keep it handy"
 Very good. Mir. Glenarm."
 We were not getting anywhere; the fellow was certainly an incomparable actor.
 You must find 1t pretty lonely here. Bates? Don't hesitate to go to the vii. lage when you like"
 T thank you. Mir. Glenarm; but I am not much for idling. l keep a few books by me for the evenings. An nandale is not what you would exactly call . divertins village"
 T fancy not. But the caretaker over at the summer resort has even . lorelier time. suppose. That's what I'd call a pretty cheerless job.-watch- ing summer cottages in the winter"
 That's Morgan. sir. I meet him occasionally when Ego to the village: he's very worthy person, I should call him. on slight acquaintance"
 No doubt of it. Bates. Any time through the winter you want to have him in for social glass. it's all right with me"
 When plunged into the wood in the middle of the next afternoon it was with the definite purpose of re- turning to the upper end of the lake for an interview with Morgan. who had. 90 Bates informed me, . small house back of the cottages.
 I took the canoe I had chosen for my own use from the boat-house and padded up the lake. The air was still warm. but the wind that blew out of the south tasted of rain. I scanned the water and the borders of the lake for signs of life.-more particularly, I may as well admit. for . certain ma room canoe and girl in . red tam-o'- shanter; but lake and summer Cot tages were mine alone. I landed and began at once my search for Morgan There were many paths through the woods back of the cottages, and fol loved several futileiy before I at las found . small house snuely hid away h thicket of young maples.

over his head and drove 1t at me, and at the same moment fired. The ham. mer-head struck the pillar near the outer edge and in such a manner that the handle flew around and smote me smartly in the face. By the time I reached the ground the man was al ready running rapidly through the park. darting in and out among the trees, and made after him at hot speed.
 The hammer-handle had struck my mouth, and the whole lower half of my face stung from the blow. I abused myself roundly for managing the encounter so stupidly. and in my rage fired twice with no aim whatever after the flying figure of the care taker. He clearly had the advantage of familiarity with the wood, striking off boldly into the heart of it, and quickly widening the distance between us; but kept on, even after ceased to hear him threshing through the undergrowth, and came out presently at the margin of the lake about 50 feet from the boat-house. I waited in its shadow for some time, expecting to see the fellow again, but he did not appear.
 1 found the wall with difficulty and followed it back to the gate. It would be just as well, thought, to possess myself of the hammer; and I dropped down on the St. Agatha side of the wall and igroped about among the leaves unfil found 1t. Then l walked home, went into the library, alight with its many candles just as had left 1t. and sat down before the fire to mediate. had been absent from the house only forty.five minutes.

Lace In Favor Aosln.

A great deal of handsome lace is to be worn again next spring. and 1t is not assuming too much to say that lingerie effects will be in high favor for summer. Yokes. gulmpes and undersleeves of lace or embroidery will be important adjuncts to all frocks. simple or elaborate. and the Idea is a happy one fos the woman who likes frequent changes to renew the freshness of her dresses.

Wear Dainty Aprons at Tea.

Certain fashionable hosteses in Man. haitian wear dainty little lace aprons over their afternoon gowns when they preside at the tea table. The bibs are mere cobwebs. with a graceful bow perched on the left side. They give the homelike touch not always seen at fashionable tea gatherings. The custom has come from Paris. Some aprons are made of alternate strips of vaIenciennes lace and Swiss embroidery.

CHAPTER TX. The Girl and the Rabbit.


 Wind and rain rioted in the wood, and occasionally both fell upon tho library windows with a howl and | splash. The tempest had wakened me; it seemed that every chimney in the house held a screaming demon. We were now we'll launched upon De. cember, and was growing used to my surroundings. had offered myself frequently as target by land and wa ter; had sat on the wall and tempted fate; and had roamed the house con. stantly expecting to surprise Bates in some act of treachery; but the days were passing monotonously. Twice I had seen the red tam-o'-shanter far through the wood, and once l had passed my young acquaintance with another girl, dark, laughing young ster, walking in the highway, and she had bowed to me indifferently. Even the ghost in the wall proved incon- stant, but had twice heard the steps without being able to account for them.
 Memory kept plucking my sleeve with reminders of my grandfather. I was touched at finding constantly his marginal notes in the books he had collected with so much intelligence and loving care. It occurred to me tut some memorial, tablet attached to the outer wall, or perhaps. more prop. erly placed in the chapel. would be lt- ting: and experimented with designs for 1t. covering many sheets of draw ing paper in an effort to set forth in . few words some hint of his character.

MEETS APPROVAL

The plan OF the title insurance con-
panies. as announced last week. to GER
tify and register mortgage notes, is
meeting with a good deal of favor
among business men. This proposition,

company, the b. F. Saul Company. and
the Home Savings Bank. of which Mr.
Saul is the president, had required GER
tificatiOn of mortgage notes in their
business for the past two years. This
certihcation and registration has been
done by ali OF the title insurance COM
panies I'm the District, and Mr.. Saul ex-
pressed satisfaction with the movement
TO make the usage general.
