cHINTzEs MUCH IN FAVOR.
Used In Many Wave for the pseoras
 ton of esdrooms.

Chintzes of all kinds have been . perfect craze among fashionable wo- men for some time past. No bedroom is considered quite up-to-date unless the furniture Is covered with gay-col- ored chintx and the curtains are made to match.
 A new departure in interior decorae, ton is to have the bedroom walls also covered with chintx to match the hangings. Chintz is almost as easily put on the walls as paper. and the of. fact is far more attractive.
 A bedroom whoch has just been fln- ished for a woman was most attract lively fitted up.
 The walls were hung with . pink and green lowered chints. which was finished at the top with a pink gimp put on with brass nails.
 The furniture was covered with and the curtains made of the same material.
 Chintz is also used as border with plain paper below in some bedrooms, where people do not want to 60 to the expense of having the entire wall covered with a material which Is . It, tie more costly than ordinary van paper.

Mary McAlIister rose steadily and put out her hand for the pink vessel.
 Your health. sir," she pledged him. "You have won."
 You are very brave man, Alan Macdonald" she told him. in . slow. hushed voice. Suffer me now to 50"
 So he led her to the gateway in silence, and held her foot when she mounted.
 Friend or foei" he asked under his breath. She looked down at him with her great blue eyes.
 Foe" she whispered hoarsely, but Il honor you greatly"
 Then she rode away into the mist that hung over the valley below. and he gazed after her till she was lost to view.
 There was never her like in all Scotland" he vowed. "She would have drunk her death."
 Aye" said sage, who was stand jag near him. "She would have taken 1t, and-perchance she has more of the poison at home!"
 The young chief stared at him for . moment, then gave great shout.
 My horse! Bring my horse!"
 He ran to meet them as they came,

IN CANDLE SHAn.
MANY AND BEAUTIFUL ARE THe
 pEslGNs SHOWN.
Decorations for Dinner Table Havo Never Been More EIaborats and X Novel Than Those Which \
 Arc at Present Shown. A

During the early part of the yea4 when there is usually considerable aof tivity in the way of entertaining, tho candle shade comes in for 2 special amount of attention. The variety h these fascinating little additions tO the decorative scheme of the luncheon tea or dinner party is already 90 great that 1t would be difncult to hnd any thing really new.
 But there are adaptations of the lat est and the oldest forms of shade that possess all the charm of novelty. and many of these are the prettiest and daintiest imaginable. Not all are in tended for the candles. some are dc signed with special reference to the electrolier and the fancy of the de- signer in this instance has been al- lowed the most artistic scope.
 Fashioned from crepe and Jap. anese paper, and from silk with bead trimming these shades attract tho feminine visitor to the departmental and speciality shops and few can re- sist investing in the charming con- ceits that to the uninitiated appear in- significant, but that indicate just tho requisite touch of completeness to the hostess who understands their value and esthetic mission.
 The Scotch plaid effect Is quite the newest and Is made from paper in realistic reproduction of the colors of the best known clans. A floral fancy that is always welcomed with favor is the poppy shade fashioned from silk in most effective imitation of the natural blossom. A new idea in the paper shade shows fruit decora- ton as a pleasing variation from the conventionalized flowers and figures.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-02-14

The silk-edged shades for candleas lamps and electroliers are practically countless. the foundation being either of silk or of paper.
 A combination fruit dish of flower holder and candelabra illustrates . new design in a silver centerpiece. the graceful lines and simplicity of the device constituting its chief at. traction. These are but sample of the scores of charming effects that are obtainable in all kinds of shades of which the bead fringed variety re- mains as high in favor as for some time past.

CAPTAIN ACCUSED OF DESERTloy.

Survivors Tell of Horrors Almost Be- yond Belief-New York Runaway

 senEers to Perish.
 BLOCK ISLAND, R. l., Feb. 14.- Seventy-two bodies of victims of the wreck in Block Island sound of the Joy line steamer Larchmont by collision with the schooner Harry Knowlton have been recovered.
 Out of a total passenger list of from 150 to 200 men, women and children nine persons only, seven men and two women, were saved.
 Twenty men of the crew of thirty were lost, making total of nineteen survivors, several of whom may die from exposure.
 A conservative estimate of the dead, passengers and crew, places the num- Der at 161.
 The exact number of lost can never be known, as passengers with cheap tickets were not registered.
 Forty-nine bodies were sent to Provi- dence on the Joy line steamer Ken

leaped on his great black charger and rode down into the mist as if his senses were not in him.
 From the foot of the mountain to the castle high above. the bridle path runs long way round; and between bend and bend lies great ravine that neither man nor beast had crossed, 40 feet at the narrowest from side to side. The edges overhang 50 that the bottom is not seen; and when a stone falls one grows tired of listening for the distant crash below. Alan Mac donald rode straight for the ravine. When he came to the edge he looked till he found plot of level grass. and there he rested sais horse for a mo. ment. and patted his neck and whis- pered in his ear.
 Nov, boy. now," he cried. The horse sprang forward over the even ground. gathered himself together on the edge of the abyss and fieN into the air.
 Live together or die together" said Alan Macdonald under his breath.
 Then he saw his horse falling short of the black rock-felt him. strike against it-was hurled forward with crash-clutched at something hang. ing from above and held dassdly to 1t caught the sound of a woman's cry -clung mechanically to something. he knew not what-heard a dull thud.
 When he found the world again he was lying in some long grass, he thought, and there was something yet softer under his head. Then a wom. ans face hung over him. framed in the mist-the face of Mary MacAllis- ter. sl
 You must not move." said . very gentle voice. You are badly hurt, very badly, fear"
 T do not fear for myself" he an. swered, "only-are you Mary McAl. lister?"
 Yes" He tried to look round at her. Only be still." she entreated. T have sent for men to carry you. They will come soon."
 "How-did it-hsppen!"
 You were hanging by . dead branch. I-I lifted you here"
 T owe my life to you" He smiled as if the thought pleased him. My foe!"
 "I do not think" she whispered, I've are foes any more. You must not move"
 You saved my life"
 You had saved mine"
 You were not going to take the poison at .home?"
 She shivered. and suddenly he knew that his head was upon her lap.
 "Yes," she said, q was"
 You will not now?-for the love of Heaven. dear lady?"
 Why did you take the leap. He smiled faintly. For you"
 She looked right into his eyes.
 Why do you care 60 much for my IIfe?"
 Because he was daxed, the fine speeches that he had tried to fashion would not shape themselves to an end. So he said simply, T love you"
 Then" she said. "since you won my life. keep 1t. and do with 1t as you will:" and he turned to look up at her without a moan at the pain
 And because he was so helpless and his eyes pleaded with her SO. she bent down her head and let him kiss her red lips.
 ~To live together or die together" she vowed.

 "The other chap looked at me pecul- iarly and said: My God. thls is terri ble. I cannot live and might as we'll end it now. I am going to cut my throat Before could prevent him he pulled out a razor and gashed his throat. He fell on his face in the bot tom of the boat and died with an in- sane laugh on his lips"
 Lieutenant Colonel W. A. Mcintyre. field secretary of the Salvation Army in the United States. said the loss of ten of the officers of the organization in the sinking of the Larchmont was the most serious blow of that kind the army had received during its work in this country. In addition to the mem bers already reported to be lost. Colo nel Mcintyre said that several bands men from the Lynn (lass.) corps were believed to have lost their lives.

NEW TROLLEY LINE.
To Be Built on New Plan from Easton
to Pennington.

HIGH BRIDGE, Sept. 14-There is talk
here of a new trolley line between Easton,
Pa, and Pennington, to be in operation
about July l, 1908. The proposed route Will
be from P%hillipsburg via ~Springtown'
Bloomsbury. Asbury, Hampton Junction.
Glen Gardner, High Bridge, Clinton
Lansdown, Hamden to Pennington. 1t is
proposed TO erect and equip n power house
at Hampton Junction to supply electricity
in both directions.
The line. 1t is said, will be built aftei
n new plan. The poles, wires and power
plant will be erected first. The roadbed
excavations and fills, also the laying OF
tracks will be done by the power generated
by the c~ompany's power plant, thereby
saving a large amount of money usually
expended In hauling ties, rails. ETC., long
distances by wagons. When the poles are
mn and wires strung, cars will be put In
operation to haul all material as 1t Is
needed.
The construction engineer will not DIS
close the name OF the company behind the
proposed route, except that 1t has no con-
n~ection with the Easton and Washington
Trolley Company, which proposes to build
a branch line from washington to Fleming
ton via -Changewater, New Hampton,
Hampton Junction, Glen Gardner, High
Bridge and Clinton during the winter or
early spring. The right of way as yet
has not been obtained.
