those nearest the prisoner were reach
ing up to throw off the ropes that
bound him. His captors looked on in
stupid surprise. but did not seek to
interfere.
The prisoner himself, now that he
saw he was surrounded by well wish
ers and, being in somewhat surly
temper. which was pardonable enough
under the circumstances, fell to com
planning bitterly and loudly OF the
treatment he hSd received. Presently
the mob began to disperse, some to
sllnk back into town. rather ashamed
of their fury, while the ever lengthen-
ing procession which had followed the
four men In the blackboard since early
in the day faced about and drove of

OF in the north, against which his face
was set, long, low, black cloud lay
on the horizon. Sometimes the wind
lifted it higher, and ii slfted down dark
threads Of color against the softer blue
of the summer sky. Presently the
wind brought the odor of smoke. Al
first ii was almost imperceptible- ca
suggestion merely-but by and by il
was in every breath he drew. The for.
est was on fire ahead of him. He
judged that tire tide of devastation
was rolling nearer, and he yeered to
the west. Then one evening he saw
what he had not seen before-a dull
red light that shone sullenly above the
pines The next day the smoke was
thick in the woods. The wind, blow
ing strongly from the north, floated
little wisps and wreaths Of 1t down
upon him. 1t rested like heavy mist
above the cool surface of the lake, on
the shores of which he had made his
camp the night previous, while some
thickly grown depressions he crossed
were sour with the stale, rancid odor

At first It resembled a hoar frost and
then a scanty fall of snow.
By o'clock he gained the summit OF
a low ridge. From its top he was able
to secure an extended view Of the fire
A red line-as red as the reddest sunset
stretched away to the north as far
as the eye could see. He was pro
foundly impressed by the spectacle.

gigantic that it fairly staggered him.

town.
Then he sat down to rest and con
slider the situation.
He was on the smooth, round top Of
Il hillside. At his back were woods ard
fields, while down In the hollow below
him, beyond a middle space that was
neither town nor country, he saw the
lights Of Antioch twinkling among the
trees. Dannle was there somewhere,
wondering why he did not return

cemetery.

clapped his hands to his ears and

Spring Hats.

Milliners and modistes have been busy
getting up things in linen. straw. lace flow
ers and ribbons that would appeal to the
southern "hitters." and while the various
models are too evidently evolved from the
best winter productions to have any real
novelty they are indicative Of the styles
liable to continue, with slight modifica-
lions, through the-spring and summer.
Mushroom hats and those in sailor shape,
as well as the short front, wide back type
of brim are shown in straw and horsehair
braid. The machine-stitched shapes are
said to lead instead Of the hand-sewn
STYLES that have been reckoned smarter for
several seasons.
So far as trimmings are concerned there
is not much change from the flower-trim-
med chapeaux Of the winter, and tulle Is
to be even more popular than heretofore.
Already there is said to be a shortage In
this almy and becoming material. Hats OF
tulle In mushroom shapes with edges bound
in velvet of deeper or contrasting shade,
such as have been familiar at the play all
winter. are reproduced with only minor
changes for southern wear.

POWERED RIBBONS.
They Are Very Smart in Girdles and
Belts

The display of broad brocade and fig
ured and Powered taffeta ribbons every
where shows that ribbon and silk trim
mings are certainly returning to favor
and 1t Is a hint as we'll that Powered and
colored silk girdles and belts are to be
In favor once more. The southern fash
ions always determine to certain extent
! what will and will not be in vogue dur
ing the spring and summer, so that judg-
ing from present Indications all white or
all one-colored gowns will give way be-
fore those frightened by some bit OF
contrasting color in the hat or at the
waist.
With a shirt waist stitched linen belt
may be worn with a linen skirt. but the
embroidered linen collars call for tie OF
some sort and soft pink or blue ribbon

lingerie bodices are as fashionable as
ever, but palmer style of waist is also
permissible this year. and with the
simpler waist wide betting rather than
soft ribbon is worn.
Ribbon belts, girdles and long sashes
are reserved for the fine white waist that
Is now used less generally than last year.
There has rarely been SO expensive a
fashion as that of wearing sheer lingerie
waists for general everyday use, as only
the finest waists were smart and these
could stand but comparatively few wash
ings.
For the south there are now shown
everywhere the most fascinatingly pretty
morning dresses of white organdie and
lawn trimmed simply with pin tucking
and lace. These dresses are made prin-
cesse, or rather the waist and skirt are
joined together by a band of lace Or a
few rows Of pin tucks, and may be worn
plain or with separate girdle. There

of greater variety in the trousseau, by
changing the belt and then again wear
ing the gown all white.
The majority of belts this year are
narrower than last summer, but widen
out slightly in back, and the sash ends
added in such way as to give the
empire effect nearly as possible; that

this year to the number Of separate bows
that are provided for the net, to be
changed each day to correspond with the
ribbons worn on the dress.
The linen and cloth suits this year have
nearly all narrow stitched belts Of the
material, but few that have short jack
belts. and to slight figures this last style
is generally most becoming. Wide en-
broidered linen belts are worn a great
deal with separate white linen and pique
skirts
Betting and embroidered linen belts call
for some sort of buckle. so that ones
stock of buckles, that has not been
thought Of for some little time, had best
be unearthed and looked over. Antique
silver buckles. some huge, others quite
small, are already to be seen, and gold
ones Of all shapes and sizes are much in
demand, while for an elaborate dress a
handsome rhinestone buckle is a most
desirable adjunct.

Gypsy Costume.

You must wear bright red skirt-any
cheap material will answer-and border
it with band Of embroidery cut from
gold paper, scattering sequins or gilt
disks over the skirt above. The soft
yellow blouse can be low-necked and the
black velvet zouave or bolero will be
bordered with sequins and embroidery. A
red silk sash tied at the side may be
worn. and a gold bandeau will hold back
the flowing dark hair. Have your arms
bare, save for a number of gold brace

gypsy maiden may carry a tambourine
or a pack of cards, or both If she cares
to. This, though quite inexpensive, will
be a. most attractive toilet.

SMART SHOE STYLES.
The Latest Modes for the Street or
House.

Smart shoes and slippers are 90 impor-
tant an adjunct to the costume that It is
astonishing that there are still some few
women who will attempt to economize in
this department Of tho outfit. 1t is not
always necessary to buy the most expensive
last nor to have a superabundance Of boots
and ties, but 1t is essential to be able to
wear the correct style Of shoe at all times.
There are, Of course, different ideas as to
what is the correct style for every occasion,
but, as q rule, good form and common sense
generally determine what Is appropriate.
Some women, for example, persist in walk
ing in thin slippers with high French heels.
but q high buttoned boot at this time of
year and later on low tie is infinitely bet
ter form. Low shoes with spats may be
worn during the winter. but as heavy shoe
is never worn in the house anyway there's
little advantage in the spat.
Women who find walking on city pave
ments tiresome will be relieved by putting
rubber heels on their walking shoes. These
can be added to any common sense heel,
but are unnecessary on light tie or Slip
per. Button boots are worn altogether UNI
less the added support from a high lace
shoe Is required. Brown leather lace boots
are rather smart with an all brown walk
ing costume, but the black, of course, are
In equally good style. With a reception
dress patent boots with plain leather up
pers are most serviceable. for they keep in
best order with a long skirt. Patent
leather pumps with spats are also worn to
some extent, but cloth uppers to the shoes
are now out of vogue.

but the plain satin are just as fashionable

the f1let net, but even for dress occasions
the so-called lingerie waist has promise Of
the greatest favor.
OF the particularly fashionable styles, like
the pictures above, one blouse Is In panels
of eyeet embroidery and Valenciennes lace.
The yoke Is hand embroidered and Is sewn
by hand to the body of the waist to give
a jumper effect. The second illustration
is of an extremely sheer batiste and Is
deliberately decorated with Irish lace. The
sleeves in the newest form are especially
fancy and are appliqued with lace to match
that used on the body of the blouse
No. must be worn over ribbon decorated
underclothes, for 1t is made entirely of
Valenciennes lace medallons, with dainty
touches of hand embroidery between. The
last model is of sheer lawn, with an Irish
lace yoke; the lower portion Of the blouse
is also trimmed with lace, as are the sleeves.
