tween the prattling little Julia and rough,
reckless Mack
The herder had been for years an exile from
the society of children, and this fresh, sweet
pit OF humanity was like an angel from heaven
In his eyes.
He was her constant companion in every
moment that he could snatch from his duties,
and often she rode with him around the herd,
perched in front of his great leathern saddle
on the wiry broncho's back.
50 it was with considerable pleasure that
both Julia and her friend learned that a stop
would be made for a day when about half
way through the Territory to allow the cattle
to rest. When the place was reached, the
usual proceeangs took place
The cowboys spread out their circle until
the herd covered an area of two or three
square miles, then began riding around the
animals, keeping theif ponies constantly walk
ing and remaining at equal distances from one
another. In this way, and this way only,
could SO few guards restrain the vast numbers
of stock.
The emigrant stopped too, we'll pleased to
have resting SPELL
Looks some like Storm said Mack, as
he rode up to the wagon ''The cattle seem
uneasy" Then, as he looked around for his
pet, he added, where's Julie?"
Don't know" said the father deiectedly
Guess she must be some'ers about. She was
around here awhile ago."
They looked in the wagon and beneath it
! She was not to be found. The father and
mother became alarmed, and searched with
their eyes the prairie, spread out like great
grassy sea. in the vain effort to find the miss
ing child.
Mack rode away to the herder's camp
While he was peering among the low tent!
and the other paraphernalia of the outfit,
low rumble was borne to his ears. 1t was the
sound of distant thunder.

whom he so much attached. More care
fully he scanned the prairie.
Suddenly he saw, far off to the east, per-
It was the child's.
The cattle were rushing together and NOV

1t were wonderful" said Julia's father
chow cool he looked. The other cowboys
were that bad ratified they couldn't stir, but

Yer know no human bein' kin stop stam-
peded cattle. All the herders kin do is jest
ter keep the creatures in sight an tergether.
Mack jest went ter one of the tents, an then
came out with bag filled with something IN
his hand, mounted pony an in minute
was ridin' past the cattle.
"Surprisin' how fast they got underway.
Nearly every animal in the herd had fined the
leaders, an, in great mass they was tumbhn
on eastward.
"The hat of Julie could be seen movin'
through the tall grass, an Macks pony racin.
toward her an nearly even with the head OF
the herd
whats he tryin' ter do?' one of the other
herders asked.
"He can't save the child another replied;
mo man livin' kin do that!'
'But on he flew, an, then, when he had
passed the leaders, we seen him turn his pony
an ride straight in front of that sea of rushin'
critters. 1t was death ter him if the pony
should stumble an throw him.
But it didn't, an we noticed that he was
fumblin' with the sack in his hands, an
white stream like sand was fowin' from it.
- Gas the leaders of the herd came ter the
line of white stuff they stopped, or tried ter,
but the ones behind pushed 'em on. Still, as
every line reached the spot it tried ter stop,
an the whole herds speed was slackened fer
a minute two
"After crossin in front of the cattle, Mack
steered ahead ag'in and gained on EN- fast.
But they got under way, an he crossed back,
with the white stream ag in running from his
sack-it was salt
"There was another halt when the stam-
peders come to this, an it give Mack time
enough ter reach the gal an, leanin' from
his saddle, grab jules dress, swing her up in
front of him an git out o the way of the
herd, now ag'in in motion"
1t was midnight before the herd was stop;

fifty or hundred fine steers had been tram
pied to death.
But Julie was sleeping as peacefully and
quietly in her fathers emigrant wagon as II
she had never been in danger
She is my neighbor now, and Mack makes
frequent trips from the ranch to visit the
family and the blight seven-year-old whom he
calls his baby.

around the Evening Lamp

The wind blows cold outside the fold;
We never heed its wailing,
For here is warmth and sweet content,
And love that's never failing.
Shine on, shine on, dear evening lamp,
Your radiance shedding Ger us!
In after years, through smiles and tears,
This scene will rise before US.
For well we knew the time must come
When we, now happy hearted,
Find here and there a vacant chair,
The family circle parted.
Oh, may we see them once again,
Who time and storm shall weather,
This picture dear of homes good cheer
When We were all together.

here and there two engage IN nook

if to inhct deadly injuries.
But all the time the great living mass is
moving northward with an irregular motion,
while score of wide-hatted herders, mounted
on wiry, excitabe broncho ponies, hang on
the fianks and sides
1t is the annual cattle drive.
A barren path, from forty rods to quarter
mile wide, stretching over hill and dale, across
prairies and through the underground of the
river bottoms, extending. nearly SIX hunarea
miles from the plains of Texas to the loot
with scarcely blade of grass along its entire
length-that is the famous cattle-trail of the
West.
1t is the track over which hundreds of
thousands of cattle are driven annually to and
from the grazing-grounds of the north ard
those of the south.
1t also serves as the road from the ranges
to the railway stations, when the marketable
stock is to be shipped to an eastern destlnH-
ton.
1t was such an object that induced the drive
from the Harlan ranch, in September, 1887.
The cattle were to be loaded aboard the cars
at Dodge City, Kansas, and shipped to Chi
cago's great packing-houses.
The herd moved slowly, and it was not
difficult for the campers wagon, or prairie
schooner, that was accompanying 1t, to keep
close to the cattle: =,
The driver of the wagon was mover"
He had been trying fora few months to make
a living in Texas, but had not succeeded, and
was going north to spend the winter with his
"wife's folks"
By accident he had overtaken the herd, and
was following it for the sake Of the chats he
held daily with the score of cowboys who rode
like skirmishers upon the edges of the army
of cattle.
1t was in the midst of the Indian Territory
that there took place an incident which gave
a never-to-beforgotten thrill to every man in
the company.
"Well, stranger, are you thinking of joining
the army for good?" asked one Of the cow
boys, riding beside the emigrant's wagon, the
day after it joined the herd.
'''We-u1s is goin' ter Nebras KY" was the
"We're goin' to see gran'pa an gran ma, F"
piped in a CHEEKY voice.
And the faxen head of six-year-old peeped
out from the canvas cover.

come from?" laughed the cowboy

know" the child replied.

of dark blue silk, held in place by
small gold buttons, decorate the full
skirt and appear again upon the draped
bodice, which, by the way, is arranged
at the back with a particularly good
effect. The waistbeIt is carried out in
narquisette, but with stripes that run
horizontally, while at the back there
is an oblong motif in the shape of a
buchly made in the same material with
straps of blue silk and gold buttons in
the center.
Long ostrich feathers immensely
wide and full are still being used to
trim the smartest hats for the London
season; indeed, so great has been the
demand for these lovely plunes that a
considerable advance in their prices
viii be found inevitable. A cavalier hat
in dark sapphire blue is lined under
meath with ivory white straw and
turned up sharply on one side, where
it has for sole trimming three rnagni-
ficent ostrich plumes in soft shade of
golden brown, two Of which rest liter
ally upon the shoulders, while the
third is knotted closely, and forms a
quaint chou composed entirely of os-
trich feathers.
Another very beautiful hat upon
which ostrich feathers play an import
ant part is made of fine Leghorn in its
natural shade of palest corn-color.
Round the crown there is deep band
of Leghorn straw lace. through which
the wide pale blue satin ribbons are
threaded, each loop being drawn out
for some little distance, so that to-
gether the loops form a very effective
ruche. Then at the back there is a
group OF three beautiful ostrich feath-
ers in the same soft shade of blue
dropping this way and that, over
crown and brim. A hat of straw brown
in a French silver shape is trimmed
on either side towards the back with
clusters of cherries, some brown and
some green. but in their normal size
Then round the front of the crown
there is a dropping fringe of green
stems with tiny cherries, about three
times smaller thaa those which appear
on the back of the hat
Peacock blue in all its varying
forms and shades of briIianey is a
color which is very much in evidence
among the newer hats for early sum-
mer. Some of them, indeed, are car
ried out entirely in peacock blue color
ings, the straw shapessand the trim
mings of taffeta glaze, the feathers
mounts and paradise plumes being all
dyed in the same vivid and intense
shade. Various tones of bright cerise
re very much in evidence and a pretty
hat in cherry pink straw has a small
OWL dyed pink, for sole adornment. A
pretty idea is carried cut IN the case
of a small black turban toque. upon
the brim of which a bird of brilliant
pink plumage is perched. To wear
with this hat a veil of fine black net is
provided with a hem of soft satin in
the same tone of pink as the bird.
The "haystack hat" is the latest de-
cree of Dame Fashion The miIIiuerS'

LONDON FASHIONS.
BY MAY DAWSON.

London, June 1.-The one fact in the
world of fashion which asserts Itself
most fOrcibly at the moment, even af-
ter the contemplation of such chic and
exclusive modes as are to be found al
Redfern's salons in Conduit street and
New Bond street, is the extraordinary
predominance of stripes. And yet per-
haps not so very extraordinary after
ali. when one takes into consideration
the fact that striped gowns are uni
versally becoming, more especially
when they are designed by a master
hand. Gowns in striped materials are
among RedfeTns latest productions,
and if only on that account they are
specially interesting, since they may be
taken as types of the forthcoming fash
ions.
Some gowns in black and white
striped summer tweeds and fine wool
en- cashmeres are being made with per-
fectly plain skirts cut in short length
for walking, and close fitting coats de-
signed exactly on the lines of a mans
morning coat and edged with fiat silk
braid. A very dainty gown in black
and white striped chiffon has a deep
border of yellow roses printed in soft
shades upon white chiffon ground,
and finishing the skirt all the way
round the hem. The draped bodice is
drawn down under waistbelt of gold
tissue, while the kimono draperies of
black and white chiffon are so con-
trived that they are outlined with the
border of pale yellow roses and ar
ranged over a soft chemisette of ivory
white lace with fine black lace inser-
lions.
Shantung silk in the heavier quail
ties. both striped and plain, must I'M
doubtedly be rsckoned the favorite
fabric of the season and it is now a
foregone conclusion that it will retain
its hold upon fashions favor all the
summer through.
Redfern has designed a graceful
gown of Shantung silk with sapphire
blue stripes upon a white ground.
The stripes, by the way, are very
cleverly manipulated and are arranged
on the skirt in a number of long, mar
row panels where the dark lines are so
contrived that they run downward in
series of V-shaped points. These PAN
els are decorated at intervals with
hanging grelets of silk, some white and
sapphire blue The bodice itself is of
fine cream lace, ruffied with little frills
down the center of the front, and ar
ranged with tiny bows of cinnamon
coloTed satin here and there. The
Shantung silk is draper in pelerine
FORM rOund TIE shoulders ana arranged
with handkerchief points n front. the
ends icing finished with blue ard white

which in its turn is embroidered with
small beads. The hat is of fine white
chip. with long sapphire blue ostrich
feather at the back and clusters of
blue and white grelets.
Another charming gown in marquis
cite has very wide alternating stripes
of blue and white running in straight
lines from waist to nem. Short stripes

have exhausted all the desirable ones
Moreover, just now, with the liking for
things quaint, the traditional wheel and
sprig patterns are in order.
A batiste gown seen recently was an
excellent example of this springs elab-
crate lingerie fashions. The tunic eff
feet was embroidered vertically with
eyelets through which cleaned the silk
lining. The jacket effect of the bodice
was a melange of stitchery. The tabs
dropping from the fronts of the jacket
over the girdle onto the skirt were an
original detail. At the back there were
similar tubes.
The all-white frock is put in the
background somewhat by the tendency
to give everything a touch OF color.
Some of the handsomest embroidered
white linen gowns are trimmed with
narrow bands OF colOred linen, which
appear on the hens of skirts and on
the coats. These colored bands are
now and then striped with white to add
to the eomplexity. yellow, green, pink
and blue are used in this way The
colOred material often makes up the
collars and cuffs on gowns that are
otherwise plain. Right in line with
this idea is the dainty fashion fer en-
broidered collar and cuff sets of thin
colored lawn worked with white and
edged with tiny knife plaitings of the
material. Sometimes these sets are
plain but for the hemstitched edges
or a sprinkling of tiny embroidered
dots. Narrow black taffeta scarfs are
worn with the collars. The scarf of a
charming set seen last week passed
through crocheted rings and ended in
silk tassels.
reception was of soft pale beige-colored
n0OISGplina q
green. The bottom of the skirt had
tiny ffounces of shot green and beige
taffeta. little Louis XVI coat was
of the same shot taffeta embroidered
with green and white flowers.
For use with summer gowns there
are colored leather belts painted with
flowers. Another new leather belt is
striped with white. These have buckles
to match.
A great many of the smartest suits
have plated skirts and half-fitted coats
of half and three-quarter depths, IN
trimmed but for their plainly stitched
cuffs and pockets. These are the fore
runner of the severe tailor-made which
is to come back TO its own as the lead
er of the daytime wardrobe next fall.
Already the plain tailor-made is in
high regard among the wool suits, but
for warm weather wear one could
hardly expect tailoring TO prevail ex-
cept in costumes designed for travel
ing or other hard usage.
The jaunty little Elton favorite for
so many years has a strong rival in
the little cape, dOlman and stole
shaped shoulder coverings that have
sprung up quickly with the new fash
ions. In dressy wraps plays on early
French types are many.
Khaki is the color of the hour for
summer wraps. Khaki-colored collars
appear on some of the smart beige
checked coats.
A trim little wrap worn with a gown
of gray and white striped mousseline
at the Actors fair fund in the Metro
politan opera house last week was of
gray coarse pongee with kimono sleeves
and a belt that held it close to the
waist line.

PARIS FASHIONS.
BY MADAME PARoulN.

Paris, June LII have already ex-
planned the great popularity of striped
materials for tailor-mades and 1 can
only repeat that the vogue seems TO be
daily increasing: indeed, scarcely any
thing but striped stuffs is used for
these garments-generally white and
black, black and white or one tone of
gray or another. These materials
would in fact become quite common
were it not for TIE originality dis
played in the arrangement and the
grouping of the stripes, which are
made to form as many combinations
as a Kaleidoscope. One model l have
stuff, gray-blue in color, with the
stripe indicated by a single white
thread. The skirt was short and round
and had no ornaments save pleats,
wide at the bottom and fiattened at
the top with "A seam. The jacket was
almost like the corresponding part of
riding costume; that is to say, the
basques were we'll rounded from the
front. This for the present is the fash
ionable. cut. 1t was bordered with a
cord of black mohair which is also
used to cover the seams. The neck and
wrists were similarly bordered. The
hack was arranged in the modern imi-
tation OF the Empire style, which
gives TO the figure when 1t is corseted
Ia Louis XIV, free and easy aspect.
This costume had also a vest of fancy
linen cut low at the neck and opening
over a frill of white linen, a la Con-
taut. A band of the same linen on
the lower part of the sleeves gave q
note of lightness pleasant to see. The
hat was of Russian violet straw-a
inc hot he Inc
and w2s trimmed with lilac. The
parasol was violet tinted, thus follow
ing the straw hat
ParisienneS have for some reason
taken sudden and fanciful liking for
the violet-the color of penitence and
ecclesiastical mourning-but it is ap-
piled so daintily and jauntily in hats
that the fancy is justified by the eff
feet. The bell hats which are the
fashion in the Rue de la Paix just now
are made of violet straw and covered
with a bunch of Paul Neron roses.
