The communication Of Fair Play
in regard to the Orchard matter, pub
lished in another column, hits the
nail on the head. 1t would be a ju.
dicial crime now, that Orchards testi-
mony has been ruled out where it con-
cerned other men to turn round now
and hang him on that same testimony.
There Is no question but what every
word of Orchards testimony was true
and that Haywood, Pettibone and
Meyer were all accessories to the muir
der of Governor Stunenberg, both be-
fore and after the fact. And now to
hang Orchard alone for that murder
would be something to make future
generations blush for the way justice
was administered in this period of the
worlds history.

 very well-with Vivace, so I had to give him up to be fed and taken care of, and l was obliged to part with my bag too. Then I wrote a note to Mir Brett, just q few lines, saying that was alone in New York. in a little diff culty, and, remembering his kind offer, l ventured to ask if he would come to the Turkish room at the Waldorf-Asto- Tia to help me with advice.
 messenger took the letter-such an aggressively brisk child I was sure he wouldn't waste a second on the way and as soon as he had gone l was beset with fears lest Mir Brett should have left New York or lest, if still in town, he might be surprised or shocked at my taking him at his word.
 I was past being hungry now, but my head ached and I felt dull and stupid. There was hardly any one in the Turkish room, for all the world of the Waldorf Astoria was lunching. l sat watching the door. watching the door until l seemed to have been in that place doing that one thing and nothing else for years. My eyelids would keep dropping and my thoughts slipping away as if they flowed past me on a slow stream I caught them back again and again, but at last I forgot and let them go
 The next thing I knew I was raising my head with a jerk and opening my eyes to look straight into those of Mr. Brett It was he. there was no doubt of that. and yet he was different. In my dreamy state I couldn't think how for an instant but as I came to my self l saw 1t was all a question of dress. He had perhaps been making money in journalism, for he was no longer good looking in spite of his clothes. He had the most excellent gray tiannels or something of the sort. Just the right kind of collar q know it must be right, for Stan always wears it and waistcoat Potter himself might have cnvied I didn't exactly think of these things then, but I must have unconsciously taken them all in in q flash, for I knew them afterward
 By the time the flash had passed we were shaking hands. and he was say ing in his nice voice how awfully sorry he was 10 have kept me waiting He had been at the club, but owing to stupid mistake there had been some delay Tn his getting my letter
 was even more pleased 10 see him than l had thought l was going to be- l felt as if I had known him all my life, and he looked so strong and hand some and dependable that I couldn't bear to take my eyes off his face lest l should wake up and find him gone because I'd been dreaming him.
 "I'Il tell you all about everything if you'll sit down. 1 said. but instead of doing as l asked he inquired with

ly was lucky for mo that he happened to be travelling west that same day, and such an extraordinary coincidence too.
 Are you going on journalistic bust. ncss?' I asked.
 No; it's business I'm undertaking for a friend.' he explained, "but hope to get something good for myself out of it in the end.'
 "Oh, I do hope you will,' I replied. "Fm sure you deserve to-
 I'm sure I don't" said he, laughing, but I shall try hard for it all the same. You know you told me to be ambitious"
 "I know I did" I answered.
 A moment later he said that he must hurry off and attend to the tickets, and I had only time to glance through some papers the waiter brought me- with columns full of Mohunsleigh's mar riage, when he was back again with a cab
 While I read an account of the we'd ding and gushing paragraphs about me I wondered if there mightn't be things not so flattering in the same papers to- morrow.
 If it got out that I had run away, would there be a scandal?" asked MT. Brett in the cab. But he said that I needn't be afraid. Mrs. Stuyvesant- Knox was too clever a woman to let anything she wouldn't like get into the papers. She would send a parag graph 10 the effect that Lady Betty Bulkeley had been suddenly called home or had gone to visit other friends or something of that sort But she will almost ccr- tainly cable to your people" he went on.
 Yes. but she won't know where I've gone till afterward and anyhow they can't object to my being with Miss Woodburn," I answered him.
 You don't think they'll send for you to come home at onceF'
 I shook my head "They won't do that They don't want-that is, they think 1t wiser for me to stop on this side longer, now I'm here"
 'I'm very glad of that" said MT. Brett and he looked at me as If he really were glad in spite of all the trouble I'd made him.

Less Cloth Required.
The glad tidings are being shouted over
the land that less cloth goes into gowns
than has been the case for many long
year But this news has the usual string
tied to it, and in this instance it is the
difficulty of making the gown. for every
body who has ever attempted to make
feminine apparel realizes that IT is far
and away easier to put together a fancy
dress than one that is simple. Trim
mings will cover up multitude or
shortcomings in the matter OF cut and
outline, but straight, scant skirt with
an embroidered panel or border and
bodice arranged in artistic folds en-
riched with Toxic or chenille handwork
must be absolutely right or they had
better not exist.

vogue at the present writing that 1t
would seem as though the supply of this
lustrous material would be exhausted
by autumn. even though the makers
work overtime. Entire costumes for aft
ernoon calling and the races are of black
and such fashionable shades as taupe
and wistaria in satin. The skirts are
clinging and usually untrimmed, but the
coats are half-f1tting and very elaborate.
Some of them are cut quite short at the
front and hang in straight. loose lines
to the top of the high girdle, and at the
sides and back they are of three-quar-
tiers depth. Others have the one-button
open fronts. which show the lace jabot
on the blouse worn beneath them. and
slope away sharply from the waist line.
A third type. and one that Is distinctly

gowns may be made to do duty during

from thirty-eight to fifty inches long and
