CHAPTER VII.
The Preliminary.

Vefy early in the morning of the
day set for the preliminary hearing of
Jesse Black the young owner OF the
Three Bars rode over to Velpen. He
identified and claimed the animal
held over from shipment by Jim's per-
suasion. Brown gave possession with
a rueful countenance.
First time Billy Brown ever was
taken in" he said. with great disgust.
Langford met with no interruption
to his journey, either going or coming
although that good cow-puncher of his.
Jim Munson, had warned him to look
sharp to his pistols and mind the
bridge. Jim being of a somewhat
belligerent turn of mind, his boss had
not taken the words with seriousness.
AS for the fracas at the pontoon, cow
men are touchy when it comes to a
question of precedence. and it might
well be that the inflammable Jim had
brought the sudden storm down on his
head. Paul Langford rode through
the sweet early summer air without
let or hindrance and looking for none.
He was jubilant. Now was Willis
tons story verified. The county at
torney, Richard Gordon, had consid-
cred Williston's story, coupled with
his reputation for strict honesty,
strong and sufficient enough to bind
Jesse Black over to appear at the
next regular term of the circuit court.
Under ordinary circumstances the
sfpte really had an excellent chance
nbinding over; but it had to deal
veh Jesse Black. and Jesse Black
had flourished for many years west of
the river with an unsavory character,
but with an almost awesome reputa-
ton for the phenomenal facility with
which he slipped out of the net in
which the lawn the person of it's

was so indefatigably endeavoring to
enmesh him. The state was prepared
for a hard fight. But nowhere was

the higher court, and Dick Gordon
would know how to use any inadver-
tencies against it-when the time
came. No wonder Langford was light
hearted. In all his arrogant and un-
hampered career he had never before
received such an affront to his pride
and his sense of what was due to one
of the biggest outfits that ranged cat
tie west of the river. Woe to him who
had dared tamper with the concerns
of Paul Langford of the Three Bars.
Williston drove in from the Lazy
S in ample time for the midday din
ner at the hotel-the hearing was set
for 2 o'clock-but his little party con
tented itself with a luncheon pre-
pared at home and packed neatly and
appetizingly in a tin bucket. 1t was

A Betting Jumper,

Embroidered linen betting, in white
and color, may be bought by the yard.
and a very clever little lady has used
it to make herself a jumper. A double
thickness over each shoulder, from the
waist line in the front to the waist line
in the back, is the foundation of the
garment, while a few strips across the
back and front give the whole a very
j~umper-like appearance.
The four loops at the waist line
formed by the shoulder straps are used
to slip the belt through. SO, when it is
worn with a white skirt and blouse,
the effect is of one of the popular one
piece dresses.
1t is just such an arrangement that
makes it possible to wear a blouse and
skirt without a coat.

FRoCkS FOR THE TUB.
Blue and Brown Galatea Among the
Best Of Materials.

Among the cheapest Of the good.
looking tub jumper frocks are those
made of blue and brown galatea. The
material sells at a very small price
everywhere and washes like a collar.
1t comes in good tones that do not
show soil and out of the tub
without being faded.
Linen makes charming ones, but
every woman does not care to afford
many linen frocks. The good quality
is the only one worth buying, and a
frock of it amounts up.
When a girl feels she car afford
only one, she should get 1t in rose
pink or nile green in order that it may
be dressy enough for afternoon wear.
This is the ideal costume for church
this summer, at home or on a vaca.
ton.
Cotton duck is another material that
is excellent for everyday wear, as a
whole season of constant service
makes little impression on 1t.
The reason most of these materials
were not comfortable before for sum.
mer Grocks was because of their heat
around the neck and arms.

Old Idea Revived.

A pretty way of trimming a muslin
and lace frock is by heading the deep
insertion of lace on the skirt (the band
of dentelle SO beloved of Paris) with a
beading wide enough to admit a soft
satin ribbon, some two or three inches
in width, this ribbon being threaded
through it at intervals of about a foot,
tied into pretty bows, but these are
not left on a level with the beading
They are pulled through so that the
bow hangs down owe the lace, the lit.

finish them of. with a bunch of fringe
falling from the center of each ball,
These loosely hanging bows look very
quaint against the lace background.

WAY TO MAKE NEAT HEM.
Accomplishment Few Women Seem to
Have at Command.

II is really surprising how few wo-
men know how to make a neat hem.
although this was considered a neces.
sary accomplishment in the days Of
our grandmothers. 1t is used to finish
the raw edges of goods and 1t is most
important that 1t be evenly and neatly
turned down; always turn 1t toward
you. To do this, turn down one-quar-
ter of an inch all along the edge and
basic IL on the crease with even bast,
ing stitches.
Take a stiff piece OF cardboard and
mark on II the exact width of the
hem. Place the edge of the creased
cardboard at the creased edge Of the
goods and mark the desired width
with a thread, using the short and
long basting stitch. Fold the hem on
this line of thread and haste to the
material along the upper edge with an
even basting. In hemming do not use
a knot. Hold the hem across the end
of the forefinger of the left hand.
Point the needle toward you, to the
right, and insert it under the edge of
the hem close to the right hand. Draw
the needle through, leaving an end
OF the thread to be tucked under the
edge.
To begin the hemming stitch, point
the needle toward the middle Of the
left thumb and take up one thread of
the cloth and the same of the fold. To
have the thread slant in the right d.
rection, see that each time a stitch is
taken that the needle points directly
across the middle of the left thumb.
To have the hem appear we'll when
finished care must be taken to have
the distance between each stitch ex
actly the same.-Exchange.

Dressy Robes of Marouisette.

The very dressy robes for afternoon
or evening wear are now composed of
marquisette. This is so very fine that
it looks like organdie or mousseline
from a distance. 1t comes in all col
ors, too, and the colors are very dainty
and delicate. or course the mar
quisette is fimsy, but everything this
season is the same. Diapers declared
that goods were to have more body q
year or two ago, but heavy goods have
not yet made an appearance.

whIstIIno In enqIlsh streets.

is rare In London to see a butcher or

So prevalent is the habit that In

to the acre than anywhere else in the

A brief study Of climatic conditions,
and those things which go to make
q climate, will show that the farther
one travels %northward from the Mon
tana border the milder the climate be-
comes--up to a certain point. In
other words, the climate at Edmonton,
Alberta, is far better than that of
Denver, 1900 miles south; and while
thousands Of cattle and sheep are dy-
ing because of the severity of the
winters in Wyoming, Montana and
other western states, the cattle, sheep
and horses of Alberta CRAZE ON
THE RANGES ALL WINTER WITH
ABSOLUTELY NO SHELTER. This
Is all largely because sea-currents and
air.currents have to do with the ma
king of the climate of temperate re-
gions. For instance, why is 1t that
California possesses such a beautiful
climate, with no winter at all, while
the New England states on a parallel
with 1t have practically six months
of winter out of twelve?
1t is because of that great sweep
of warm water known as the Japan
current" and this same current not
only affects the westernmost of the
Dominion provinces, but added to Its
influence are what are known as the
chinook winds"-steady and undevi-
ating air.currents which sweep over
