CHAPTER XVIII

Hope was burning with eager desire TO
interrogate his visitor, to learn of his en-
vironment, of the world without. but
glancing at a watch he carried, the latter
said hurriedly:

The strange occurrence had reused him
out of his apathy. He anxOusly awaited
the arrival of the attendant with the
morning meal. No sooner had the man
retired than the occupant Of the next
apartment pushed out the boards and
crept into Hopes presence again.
He painted weakly from the exercise.

Hope, mentally calculating how he could
utilize this patients liberty to bring about

He was amazed as his companion

There are fewer quilts on hats than
last year.
Feather trimming upon hats contin-
ues very profuse.
Ottoman silk is used for making hats
as well as fancy coats.
Most of the hat shapes give the eff
feet of excessive fairness.
The low effect is adhered to in the
latest hats trimmed with ostrich.
Plumage hats are, in again, princi-
pally In dark, natural pheasant shades.

roses, both large and small, will be

VoluminOus pompons and rosettes of

Often muff of white fox is sold to
go with the hat. This is a charming
addition to an indoor gown in any OF
the new tones Of color.
The hat Of the moment for festal oc.

1t Is quite tie fashion this winter to
carry huge rug muffs indoors at any
reception or tea without a neckpiece
to correspond. The latter might hide
the lines of the frock from neck to
waist, but the big muff gives a perfect
touch.
The desire for white hats with elab-
crate indoor costumes Is growing
stronger every week. Wide white satin
sailors trimmed with morning glories
are in high fashion. These are worn
with one-piece frocks of wlstaria, violet
and amethyst.
School girls will wear immense fla,

Color of Human Hair.

In the case of human hair color we
find that children are not ordinarily
darker than their darker parent Con-
sequently, If both parents have flaxen
hair the children will have hair Of the
same sort. From this principle, ap-
piled generally, 1t follows that when
both parents have an organ in low
condition Of development it will be so
also in all of their children. This prin-
clple explains the perslsting or increas-
Ing degeneration in the descendants of
two degenerate parents.-Prof. G. B.
Davenport, in Science.

wall.
Then, too, ever the same dim prospect !:
the heavy oaken door beyond one of thick
est iron bars, diamond hole letting in
light from some far source down a mar
row, desolate hallway.
This was his third day in this den, this
prison-that is, his third conscious day
and he knew no more concerning bis rea;
whereabouts and environment now than
when his senses had first reused to the
fact he was a captive.
Hope had a dim memory of the double
assault in the lane, and later, after studi-
Gus reflection, a vague suspicion as to
the motive of the same.
The condition of his clothing showed
that the assault involfed meditated rob-
berry. Yet his personal valuables were in
tact, and the grim conviction bore upon
his mind that the severed bank notes must
have been the booty sought for.
Then be readily surmised that Percy
Kane must be at the back of this new
stroke of villainy. He was equal to it.
Such a man had trusty tools at command.
The stroke was a royal one. Besides. his
own safety demanded that Hope be put
out of the way.
"Out of the way he was as surely
and securely as though entombed in some
castle fastness. 1t was a grim prison
In witch Hope found himself, and full of
Uystery.

endeavored to draw the man into CONVEX

there.

Eagerly he opened the folded missive.
1t was unsigned, and the writing was rude
and unfamiliar.
Thus it ran:

and correct statement of where you have

notes. If we find them. you go free. II

Now thl issue was perfectly plain to
the captive. His eye flashed vindictively

defiance in one particular: that of the
great essential of money.

MORE DELEGATES ELECTED.

The following-named delegates have been elected to the Nevada county Sunday school convention since our last rapport:
 Ebenezer Sunday school: T. F. James, J. C. Timberlake, S.A. Sewell, Miss Eunice Sewell and Miss Birdie Montgomery.
 From Rocky Mound Sunday school: E. M. White, Madison Loe, Miss Ada Whitten. Miss Maggie White, Miss Sarah White and T. R. White.
 From New Salem Sunday school; Miss Bertha Beauchamp, Miss Ola Jordan, Miss Lizzie In- gram. Miss Birdie Grifford, DIV. Bolls and Burt Beauchamp.
 The principal purpose of the Sunday school convention is more and better Sunday schools. We want the sympathy and help of all Christian people.
 We believe that if every child in Arkansas from 5 years old up, could be in Sunday school for the next fifteen years every Sunday. under a good, competent, Chris tian teacher, the majority of them would become Christians and nearly all of them would be good, honest and moral citizens; that the saloon question, the honest government question, the gam bling question and all such ques- tions hs honesty in politics would be permanently settled.
 If this is true, here is a field at home for missionary work, and how important!
