As regards the cut of clothes, the

rather radical effects worn today.
A medium length will rule in coats,

than sex in arms against itself. Thought after thought, of struggle. of surrender. of abandonment of her pur- pose. of acceptance of the power of convention flashed through her mind with iightnins-iike rapidity. Each footstep down the carpeted stair, though In fact SO silent. seemed to sound like thunder, as though she walked on . drpm-head resonant of doom. Then came a mingiinE of fu- ture and present: of distance which obiiterated all perspective. She turned and looked around her, as though she was conscious of being watched Then. seeing that she was all alone. she went on her way with settled purpose; with flashing eyes and glowing cheeks--and a beating heart. heart all wonian.s since ii hrobbed the most with apprehension when the enemy. Man, was the objective of her most resolute attack. She knew that sne must keep moving; that she must not stop or pause; or else her whole resolution must collapse. And so she hurried on, fearful lest chance meet ing with anyone might imperii her pur- pose
 She met no one on the way, and the absence of necessity for self control seemed to restore her courage. On she went through the faint moss s-green paths where the red earth was hard ened by the rains of century falling softly through the towering trees. Through the headiands of meadows rich with towering grasses and the many reds of the summer wild flowers. The clover was fragrant, and the humming of bees seemed a fitting ac- compartment to the sleepy sway of the ripening grass. Through narrow paths with edges blurred with trampied corn. where the scarlet poppies stood forth conspicuous and triumphant. and where chickweed and spreading ground plants lost the delieacy of their. nat ural green and grew red and brown in the unaccustomed sunshine. And so on, up through the path cut in the natural dripping of the rock that rose over Caester Hill and formed a strong base for the clurnp of great trees that formed landmark for many a mlls around. During the first part of her Journey between the house and the hiIl- top, she tried to hold her purpose at arms length; 1t would be sufficient to face It's terrors when the time had come. Tn the meantime the matter was of such overwhelming importance that nothing else could take it's place: all she could do was to suspend the act. i've part of the thinking faculties and leave the mind only receptive.
 As she drew near the appointed place her pace grew slower and slower; the woman in her was unconsciously man. ifesting itself. She would not be first in her tyrst with a man.

(Consinued.)
 Tn the more purely personal aspect in her enterprise Stephens effort was more conscious. It is hardly possible for pretty woman to seek in her study of perfection the aid of her mir TOT. and to be unconscious of her aims. There was a certain sense of triumph In her glance as she took her last LOOK in her mirror; a full gratihcatiou or her own wish to show herself In the best way possible to her. It was very charming picture which the mir. TOT reflected. Her tall, slim fGure and long delicate neck seemed to bear with. grace the shapely head Her hair was glorious, SO that the rich color of her cheeks, whose ripe red seemed to come through the clear skin rather than be a part of it. seemed in exquisite Keep ing. The great, black. sweeping lash- es, which yelled the eyes when they fell over, gave new force to the dark lightning of the black eyes when they smiled or frowned, or when they gazed tenderly, or looked out with passion ate longing. There was something tropical in those eyes, something rem iniscent of another land and another time. Centuries seemed to have been obiiterated, and in the sockets of this up-to-date twentieth-century girl eleanned the very eyes of that Saracen maid who had cheerfully left her glow ing sunlight for the chilly north to be with her lord.
 It was with a satisfied donscious- ness of power that she threw her last backward glance into the mirror and went out to her tryst.
 It may be that there is conpanionship in a mirror, especially to a woman; that the reflection of oneself is an emboldened presence, personality which 10 better than the actuaIity of an unvalued stranger. Certainly, when stephen closed the door behind her and stood in the wAinscoated passage. which was only dimly lit by the high window at either end, her courage seemed to nervousness which is antecedent to doubt. The nerves are the sleepless guardians of human safety. and their blind susceptibility Is quicker than the manifestations of thought. This ner- vous submission to as yet unknown in- fiuences Is part of the garbs of Req son; warning. and doubt. and fear are pearls in her girdle.
 Probably for the first time in her life as she left the long cloistered shade of the long passage and came out On the staircase flooded with the light of the fnoonday sun, stephen felt that she was a girl--"girl' standing as some sort of synonym for weakness, pretended or actual. Though her whole nature was repugnant to the task, she forced her. self to the effort of repression. It would. she felt. have been to her a delicious pleasure to have abandoned all effort: to have sunk in the Iassitude of self-surrender.
 The woman in her was working; her sex had found her out!
 But there is no iercer fight known

measure of control over herself. The nervous tension. however. was 50 com piete physically that ali her faculties were acute1v awake; very early she became conscious of distant footstep. Ordinarily she would not have heard t 90 far off. and this fact came ni- tered through her imagination 90 that she attributed the additional power to the existence of love. The thought made her blush. and for little while she sat still in . silent ecstacy. She was waiting for her lover. and it was he whose feet she heard crushing tue debris of the woods which lay below. Since Eve waited in the Gerden the waking of her lord. down all the ages in every country and under ell condi- tions. this has been sound to quick sn q womans pulse and to thrill her with delight.
 To Stephen's straining ears the foot steps seemed wondrous slow. and more wondrons regular: she felt in- to have listened to a more hurried succession of less evenly-marked sounds. The march of a iover's rect makes its own music which is not linn tied or regulated by the customs of the schools. But notwith standing these thoughts. and the dualms which came in their turn. the sound of coming tcGt UEOuAhN &TCAL JOy tu GtGRUSn heart. For. after all they were com fnE; and coming just in the same time to prevent the sense of disappoint- ment at their delay gaining firm foot hold. It was only when the coming was assured that she felt how strong had been the undercurrcnt of her ap- prehension lest they should not come at all.
 Very sweet and tender and beautiful StenhNn looked at this moment. The strong lines of her face softened by the dark fire Tn her eyes and the feel- ing which glcwed in the deep bushes which niantled her cheeks. The proud ness of her bearing was no less mark ed than ever. but in the willowy sway of her hody there was a yieidfog of mere sorry pride. It were as though . goddess had relaxed the rigour of the marble of her statue ana stepped down from her pedestal in the temple to be all human for the time In all many moods which the gods al- low, to good women therc Is none SO dear or so alluring, consciously as we'll as instinctiveIy. to true men has this seff-surrender. Whose has ever ex- perienced it has felt a thrill or rap- ture which seems to have come witn the completion of the circuit of some divine electric force. As Leonard drew near. stephen sank softly into seat. doing so with a guilty feeling of hct- ing a part. When he actually came Into the grove he found her seemingly lost in reverie as she gazed over the wide expanse in front of her. He was hot after his walk, and with some- thing very like petulance threw him self into a cane armchair, exclaiming as he did so with the easy insolence of old familiarity:

CHATTER VIII. The Meetamg.

Two opposite feelings strove for dominance as Stephen found herself on the hilltop, alone. One a feeling natural enough to anyone, and espec- ially to q girl. of relief that dread cd hour had been postponed: the oth- CT with chagrin that she was the first. Had she been as cool-headed as she sometimes was. the fact would have sounded as. q note of waring to her: but it is of the very essence of her sex that woman is not cool at a really critical time.
 After a few moments. however. one of the two militant thoughts became dominant; the feeling of chagrin. With pang she thought if she had been a man and summoned for such q purpose. how she would have hur- ried to the trysting-place! how the flying of her feet would have vied with the quick rapturous beating of her hearti How All her soul would have gone out in sladness to the loving How ..

 For nearly half an hour Stephen sat on the rustic seat under the shadow of the great oak. looking. half un- conscious of it's beauty and yet infiu- enced by 1t. over the wide landscape stretched at her feet tt

FAIR AND WARM WEATHER.

SIontEomery is EBjoyinR an Exception
 ally Fine Wind.
 There wasn't much doing fin the weather business yesterday. Record ing the exceptionally fine weather which was Montgomery's lot yesterday for the whole day was about all that could be done.
 Tho prediction for today Is for con- tinuance of the fair weather with a triIe more local cloudiness, however. There may be rain in the northern part of the State but there is not much lilxe- lihood that 1t will even darken the sun long enough in the vicinity of Mont- gomery to make the heavens look even little bit like rain.
 Generally fair weather prevailed over the entire South yesterday. at the same time. however an extremely low ba- rometer area with it's centre moving slowly eastward over Middle Texas was giving general rains over the in- terior of the country and southwest through Texas and Louisiana. the fall being heavy to excessive in parts of Arkansas and Texas.
 This area of low will continue to move northeastward and will not ef- feet the weather conditions today or night in the vicinity of Montgomery.
