Shoulder pieces, such as shown in
the illustration of No. 1, are decidedly
popular. This model is for an evening
gown. The sleeve proper is a mass
of tiny full frills, and is surmounted
with the fabric which forms the gown.
The frills are of some delicate mate
rial, such as chiffon, m%ousseline de
sole or lace. The cap is strapped with
velvet and lace finishes the corsage
about the low-cut neck. This lace is
laid over the shoulder cap.
Bands of embroidery are effective on
long sleeves of dressy coats, as shown
by the model No. 2. These bands may
be carried on into the cuff, which is
also a feature of the seasons trim
ming.

CHAPTER xxy1

A strange sound In those wild woods
was enough to make the boldest start.
All day they had heard only the hum
of bee, or twitter of bird; the swaying
of branch or futter Of leaf in the too
ardent caress Of the south wind.
But this noise was none of these. 1t
came from the road whence they had
journeyed. The Indians! They were
overtaken!
A fear seized the girl-a horror SO
awful that she would hGve fallen but
for Winslow's protecting arms. For
no other terror the mind Of those days
could c~onjure had power to appall like
this. AS both stood to catch the
sounds that grew nearer, they distin-
| guished the tramp of hoofs, and min
gled with these the voices and laugh
ter Of many men.
Laughter! Speech! Here was re-
lief so great that they wanted to shout
aloud-to give it some physical ut
terance. For Indians did not pursue
fugitives with tumult Of voices and
clatter of harness.
Thank God for the laughter!" Wins
low cried. "The cracking of thorns'
shall be my next toast"
Lavender's smile was an effort as
nearer came the ring Of hoofs and the
sound of men in loud talk. They were
not Indians-for that she was deeply
grateful, but what were they? ANY
interruption was unweloome now. A
premonition Of evil made her shrink
back as a troop of horsemen filed into
view. The search party! Winslow
was ashamed Of his sudden sinking OF
heart at the sight which should have
been SO welcome, for her sake. But
their happy hour together was ended
NV. Gerald rode ahead, Gonzaga be-
side him.
Gerald, brother" and, clapping her
hands, ecstatically, Lavender rushed
from the protecting shrubbery into the
middle Of the road.
There was confusion in the band Of
riders; the sudden halt was followed
by a variety of oaths aad EXPLANATIONS

Free Trade Zones.

The strange economic theories Of
Secretary Shaw will soon not be Of
much consequence, for after March
4 he will sink into political disuetude,
But as showing the perplexed condi'
ton Of the ~standpat mind in seeking
to escape the inevitable tariff reform,
his proposition to create three free
trade zones, two of which are to be
located on the Atlantic coast and one
on the gulf coast, where manufactures
may be established and allowed to use
free raw material for products to be
sold abroad, is remarkable. These
free trade zones would be for the ad.
vantage of foreigners, so that Ameri.
can products could be sold to them
cheaper than to u own people, for
the full tariff rates are to be paid by
the American whether man,
ufactured in the one or elsewhere.

Linen Collars.

Embroidered linen collars, the high
turned down style, are extremely
smart, and are worn with all kinds Of
waists. They are finished in front,
and the favorite finish is the tulle
bow or rosette fastened with a bar pin
of diamonds or pearls. One style has
buttonholes through which are put
link cuff buttons, or a velvet ribbon
that is tied iN a stiff bow. A hem
stitched edge, a narrow line of hand
embroidery, or some small design In
embroidery just at the corner, Is the
current fashion.

you-you believe in me. now?"
He bent closer, trying to see into her
eyes. But she kept them turned from
hir1, fixed vita snseeing gaze upon the
river hurrying past them.
She did believe in him with a faith
unalterable, but as that faith grew,
rose another mist of doubt-doubt Of
that other, of that nan who had held
the mirror wherein Winslow had ap-
peared in such a bad light to her dis
torted vision. Was he, too, mistaken,
or was he purposely misleading her?
She dared not reason calmly, To dis
trust Gonzaga now would mean mis-
ery-would set all her hopes adrift.
For was he not her betrothed, her
mothers choice for her? The man
who was to bring that mother back to
home and life?
The last thought stiiled the tumult
in her breast, and remorse toward
Winslow, thwarted love for him, sus
picion Of Gonzaga, all sank-weighed
in this last scale. Her mothers health
and comfort had before seemed all
important; was it only because, in hel
own unhappy state, nothing matteret
anyway? When the one man in the
world was gone out Of her life, it hat
seemed easy to dedicate 1t to fila

Barney Sheridan, of Butter creek,
was drowned in the Columbia river
Friday while attempting to swim his
horse across to Switzler's island and
his lifeless body was recovered yes
terday forenoon.
On Friday morning Sheridan left
his home on Butter creek to go to
Switzler's island and no trace of him
was had until late Saturday after
noon, when the dead body of his
horse, saddled and bridled, came
ashore near Umatilla. The circum-
stances all indicated that the rider
had also met death in the cold water
of the river and a search was at once
commenced for the body.
At. a point near where the horse
was found the body of Sheridan was
discovered yesterday morning. 1t was
recovered after but little effort, the
river being dragged only once. A.
dozen or more horsemen of the west
end of the county constituted the
searching party and the body was
taken to Echo yesterday.
In the afternoon yesterday the re-
mains were taken to the deceased's
home on Butter creek and the funeral
will be held from there tomorrow. the
interment being in the Echo cemetery.
The drowned man was one of the
best known and most popular young
men of the Butter creek country. He
was the son of James Sheridan. now
dead, and had lived in that section
for many years. He was 80 years of
age and unmarried. He has one
brother, Peter Sheridan, also a But
ter creek rancher. The deceased
himself owned considerable land On
Butter creek and was known as
successful farmer.
To swim the river to Switzler's
island, which Sheridan attempted, is
a hazardous thing to do. especially
at this time of the year. 1t is long

George Webb, the slayer of e. F.
'Zaspell, the Heppner butcher, and for
whom the sherlffs of Morrow and
Umatilla county have been searching
for several months. was arrested in
Spokane Saturday evening He had
been working in the vicinity Of Spo-
kane nearly ever since he committed
the crime at Heppner and after being
placed under arrest admitted he had
killed Zaspell.
A reward of $500 had been offered
for Webb's arrest by the county court
OF Morrow county. Several days ago
the officers at Spokane learned that
he was working in that vicinity and
they began a search for him. Satur-
day evening he drove a lumber wagon
to a feed yard in that city and just
as he dismounted two detectives and
a deputy sheriff covered him with
their guns. He gave up without
struggle and on his way to the police
station admitted he was the slayer
OF Zaspell.
To a representative OF the Spokes-
man-Review Webb, who had been
going under the alias of McCaslin
and also Mclaughlin, declared that
he had shot Zaspell In self-defense.
kie claimed that at the time he shot,
the butcher tried to choke him. He
denied he had taken any money from
the dead man.
The crime with which Webb is
charged is one OF the most brutal ever
committed in Morrow county. On the
night of September 29, the dead body
of Il. F. Zaspel was found lying in
a wagon In the streets of Heppner
and a gunshot wound In the head
showed the manner Of death. He was
known TO have had several hundred
dollars on his person and it was be-
lieved he had been killed for his
money. Webb was seen with him
earlier in the evening and was known
TO have taken a pistol from his room.
Suspicion at Onoe fell on him and this
was strengthened by the fact that he
fled. Taking a horse they had been
leading. Webb rode TO Echo and there
took a train for Spokane, 80 he de-
clares.
According to District Attorney
Phelps, Webb will reach here this
evening and the prosecutor will prob
ably question him before he is taken |

FOR JUDGE FRAzER's PLACE.
Governor win Make No Appointment
During Holidays.

Not until the holidays have about
expired will Governor George E.
Chamberlain announce his appoint
ment of the late Judge Frazer's sue
cessor, says the Evening Telegram.
The republicans are busy. and EXPECT
the governor to name a man from
their political faith, and the democrats
are about of the same mind, believ-
ing that the governor will pass the
honor to some republican.
r. A. Letter appears to have the
lead. and may be successful. Miller
Murdoch has been urged to have his
name presented to the governor, but
has refrained. Mr. Murdoch, who is
closely identified with the Municipal
league, is republican. and at the
same time friend of District Attor-
ney John Manning, and could have
the nomination, it is thought, If he
would try for it, and would probably
easily be elected next June for the
full term.
Murdock's private practice, howe
ever, is more valuable than a judge
ship. and he has declined to enter the
contest. A. C. Spencer could have
the appointment, or so could Ralph
Moody, according to street talk, but
neither desires 1t.
In the republican list, aside from
r. A. Letter, are the names of Martin
L. Pipes, ex-Judge M. C. George, Rob-
ert G. Morrow and D. Soils Cohen.
The democrats mentioned are ]. V.
Beach, f. ]. S. McAllister, John Van
Zante, q. w. Allen and NJ, G. Munly.
Mr.. Munly is considered especially
qualified for the position,
Even though the governor appoint
some one to fill the vacancy it does
not necessarily follow that the new
appointee will handle the Juvenile
court work, as this labor is assigned
by the circuit court judges to one of
their number. It is said that Judge
may have the Juvenile
court duties turned over to him.

Washington, Dec. 9.-There is 1T

gress in relation to the prohibition Of
Japanese immigration, despite the in
PRODUCTION by Hayes of California of
a bill to restrict Japanese entry.
The japanese apparently have the
ability to control all questions which
have been raised by administrative
measures, although the country is far
frem satisfactory on present status of
the question. The president is anx-
ious, in view of the earnest represen-
tations of the japanese foreign offer
to allow the Japs every opportunity
to solve the question themselves with
out resource to treaty stipulations or
legislation.
