The Entrance Of Chico,

great welts stood out on her sides and
her hide was lathered with foam, while
we dashed along in the binding storm
and finally gallOped through the gate

the house. The snow was drifting
heavily and MacArdel leaned over the
side of the sleigh and held the lantern
close to the ground so that could see
such little races of the road as re

a dozen times in our mad race to the

Suddenly, as we neared the house,

She died some half hour ago. and he's

We sprang out and, giving Bobbs

knows it must be soon, and he's been
waiting out here in the storm for over

We came to a tree, partly sheltered
by some shrubbery around it, and
there, leaning against its trunk was
poor John Carney, tottering feebly for
support and gazing fiXedly at the win
dow behind which lay the body of his
loved one.

Bobbs, choking down a sob. You

HOME MADE coTlLLoN FAvoRs.
Profitable and Pleasing Occupation for
Leisure Hours.

No matter how many amusements
there are In summer. such as tennis,
golf. bathing and Cruquet, there Is al
ways an hour or two in each day when
a girl wonders what to do with her
time. She may not care to read or
sew, and yet feel too lazy to do
anything more strenuous. In these
hours some girls last summer hit on
a splendid scheme which at the end of
the season gave themselves and many
others a great deal Of pleasure. They
were most anxious to give a cotil-
Ion, but could not, as the favors were
SO expensive, 50 one of the girls sug'
guested their getting together and
making some. So they met one morn
lag and started by making paper tlow-
ers, of which they made a great many
In about an hour, and on leaving each
girl was given some paper to take
home with her so that she could make
more. The next week these flowers
were sewn on a ribbon about a yard
long, the kind that can be bought for
about 10 cents apiece, Ten flowers
to each yard of ribbon was the allow
ance, and when finished it made a
very pretty ruff for the neck. With
the flowers that were left over were
made boutonnieres for the men, and
here, with little II any trouble, was
one set of favors. For another set
they cut out pretty pictures from mag
azines and had glass cut to fit them.
These, when passe.partouted, made
most acceptable fayors for the girls
to correspond with those the men had
ordinary white clay pipes with the
date of the dance painted on the bowl
and the stems tied with ribbon, For
another set they had paper hats for
the girls aud rosettes OF ribbon for the
men.

for support and paused as If summon

courage, and then gasped on:

comes to you, Ware, and-God's-

Suddenly, and with a mufled sob,
he lunged forward and raised his poor
distorted arms toward the window,
which his gaze had never left for an
instant. One of the nurses appeared
and raised the sash to the top, letting
the bitter wintry air rush in and MI

We lowered him gently to the
ground ana the rapidly drifting snow
received him in its soft embrace and
covered him over like a shroud.

into the dimly lighted library and said
