IF you want to keep off holdIlp

is more afraid of a cane than he is Of
a revolver. He's deathly afraid that
the man carrying it will iab it in his
face or eyes or get the end Of 1t in
his mouth. On this account they're
just as much afraid Of a small, light
stick as they are of a heavy one.
There are so many different ways
Of using a cane that a man doesn't
know Just which way to guard against
it. And any man can use it. Nine

NEEDLE and THREAD
Fashion Note.

Irish and Velenciennes lace combine
prettily in winter collars.
Chiffon Jokes and sleeves may be
used with silk dresses for evening wear.
The material should be finished with
straight or ruf1led tucks.
English tweeds in plaid effects will
be seen this season In separate coats,
made in three-quarter lengths with
long sleeves; trimmings of silk.
An evening cloak hat closed with
gold cord and tassels showed gold
grapes that clustered beneath the white
velvet collar. The style, while very
elaborate, was quaint and pretty.
A collar we'll liked this season is
old rose. It is found in materials for
jacket suits. and the thinner weaves
show it in the same color, with light
border effects. The satin hats con-
structed of old rose satin and plumes
fine millinery.
Many white lace waists made with a
yoke effect with the lace divided down
the centre front, have the fronts laced
together with velvet ribbon, tied with
a knot at the lower point. The lacing
should be V-shaped. The touch of vel
vet is used this season to give to lace
waists a newer note.
A jumper dress of pale blue cloth was
trimmed down the sleeves from elbow
to wrist and around the yoke with
large. black velvet buttons. The front
of the short bodice showed black en-
broidery. 1t was worn with a narrow
black belt and short white yoke and
collar. The nat was black.

Continued From Yesterday,

For a day the trail was lost. Then
1t was picked up by the print of a
pony's hoof beside a water-hole. But
always the line of flight led toward
an Apache spring in the Lava Beds.
Slim and his posse took their COM
mands from the officers of the pur-
suers. The -cow-punchers gave them
much assistance as scouts, knowing
the country through which the Indians
fed keeping in touch with the main
command, they rode ahead to protect
it from any surprise. The chief Indian
scout got SO far ahead at one time in
the chase that he was not seen for
two days. once. by lying fiat on his
belly, shading his eyes with his hands,
and gazing intently at a m~ountainside
so far ahead that the soldiers could
scarcely discern it, he declared he had
seen the fugitives climb the trail. The
feat seemed impossible, until the sec
ond morning after when the scout
pointed out to the colonel the pom
tracks up the m~ountainside. The
Apache scouts kept track of the sol
diers' movements, communicating with
the main body with blanket signals and
smoke columns

Some time ago an English clothing
manufacturer succeeded in making a
fabric from old ropes. He obtained a
quantity of old rope and cordage and
unraveled them by a secret process
into a kind of rough cloth. A suit of
clothes made from it n worn by the
manufacturer himself proved strong In

by some of the best London tailors at
low prices are made Of old ropes.

To Save Table Linen.

Many young. and some older, chill
dren are careless about spilling things
on the tablecloth, and often a large
cloth has to go to the laundry because
one small place Is stained. To prevent
tffis one may get the ready hemstitched
oblongs of linen at n department
store, and stitch up three sides of it,
leaving either one end or one side open.

The nose and the surrounding part of

and promote the healthful action of the

In fact, the massage of the whole

" ALSE dawn in the lava Beds of
" Arizona. The first faint tinge on
the eastern horizon fades, and the
stars shine the more brilliantly in the
brief, darkest hour before the true day
break. An icy wind sweeps down
canons and over mesas, singing the
marrow of the wayfarer's bones. In
the heavens. the innumerable stars
burn steadily in crystal GOODNESS.
Shadows lie in Stygian blackness at
foot of rock and valley. Soft and clear
the lights of night swathe the uplands.
An awesome silence hangs over the
desert. flushed and humbled by the
