A few steps in the moonlight and
she again took his arm, although they
scarcely spoke. At the bridge she
withdrew her hand and uttered a pecu-
liar call. and Hampton stepped forth
from the concealing bushes, his head
bare, his hat in his hand.

story of shame, perhaps? II so, did
Hampton know about it?
Already daylight rested white and
solemn over the silent valley, and only
a short distance away lay the spot
where the crippled scout had made
his solitary camp. Almost without vo
lition the young officer turned that
way, crossed the stream by means of
the log, and clambered up the bank
But It was clear at a glance that Muir
ply had deserted the spot Convinced
Of this, Brant retraced his steps to-
ward the camp OF his own troop, now

in BABY MILLINERY
DISTINCTIVE STYLES FOR THE
LITTLE ONES.
Poke Bonnets, Now the Latest Thing
In Paris, VIII Soon Be the Rage
In This country-Embroidery
ls Much Used.

Little girls 'twixt cradle and kinder
garten have millinery styles as well as
their mammas. Indeed, women who
would never attempt to trim their own
chapeaux are making the most charm
ing little CONNECTIONS of velvet, silk
and fur for their tiny daughters. Pat
terms come in plenty, and as for ma
terials, the remnant boxes of the
stores are full to overlooking with
pieces just large enough for baby
millinery.
Wide flaring rims have gone out,
and the new shapes are close, being
usually over a fitted foundation Of
white flannel. but the trimmings save
the plainness. Very quaint are the
tight little cap shapes with soft rib
bon rosettes or punches of flowers
Just over each ear. Some finniky peo-
pie still claim that baby simplicity is
spoiled by millinery flowers. but this
idea is out of date.
What could be more babyish than
a tiny bunch Of dropping snowdrops.
such as the shops are showing, looped
together with a narrow white ribbon ?
These bonnets are trimmed round the
face with a fiat ruche, like the one
which baby's mamma wears In her
collar. A plain bonnet shape. quite
untrimmed. could be decorated at
home with the ruching and flowers to
make one OF these fascinating little
head dresses. The strings come out

One of the smartest gowns that has
been displayed this season, or any
other, is designed principally to carry
out the beauty of slender, graceful
figure. II is carried out in tender
shade Of rose messaline. with Dolly
Warden fiounces on the sleeves and
skirt. The topmost founce on the
skirt is mounted with a heading Of
fine handmade lace, run through with
silver gauze ribbon. The top Of the
skirt is severely plain, falling in grace
ful folds from the hips.
The overbodice is OF the rose MESA
line, with an embroidered outline, and
this is worn over an exquisite guimpe

from under the rosette over the ears,
and are usually Of wide ribbon. Soft
taffeta, by the way. is best for bon
net strings, as II may be washed so
much better than the satin-finished
ribbons. White corduroy is good
material for the bonnet itself, as 1t
washes like cotton, and is very
warm.
Women who love embroidery on all
the things Of babylon are making lit
tie lace and batiste embroidered COW
ers for bonnets and lining them with
quilted silk. Pie two may be merely
basted together along the edges. so
that frequent laundering is possible.
The flowers are dainty on these. rose
buds being very appropriate.
Black velvet with a band OF fur
makes a very durable dark bonnet
cap. If one has small piece OF
squirrel or ermine, IL could be made
into a fiaring band. which turns away
from the face over the black velvet.
while the strings are Of pale blue or
pink ribbon. Some of these bonnets
still have the fiat ruching inside just
over the face.
Plain little felt bonnets OF the soft.
est material may be bought very rea-
sonably and trimmed at home. In
these also the trimming Is mostly over
the ears instead of on top. Some OF
the shapes are little more than soft
hats, which one can poke into all
sorts of quaint shapes and trim. Poke
bonnets, with fronts to be filled in by
rufles of lace and soft white lawn, are

means that the poke bonnet bought
this season will be quite the rage
another winter 1t is a good plan to
use small safety pins In putting on
the strings and all the trimming
which comes off now and then to be

CHAPTER XVII,
The VERGE Of a Quarrel.

Brants mind was a chaos OF con-
hicting emotions, but single abiding
conviction never once left him-he re-
tanned implicit faith in her, and he
purposed TO fight this matter out with
Hampton. Even in that crucial hour.
had any one ventured 20 suggest that
he was in love with Nadia he would
merely have laughed, serenely conf
dent that nothing more than gentle
manly interest swayed his conduct.
Nevertheless. he manifested an un-
reasonable dislike for Hampton. He
had never before felt thus toward this
person; indeed, he had possessed a
strong mans natural admiration Tor
the others physical power and cool,
determined courage. He now sincere
ly feared Hampton's power over the
innocent mind OF the girl, imagining
his influence to be much stronger
than 1t really was. and he sought after
some suitable means for overcoming

be considered as her true friends,

upon him. alone, therefore, rested the
burden OF her release. II was his
heart that drove him into such de-
cision, although he conceived 1t then
to be the reasoning Of the brain.
And SO she was Nadia ellis, poor
old ellis little girl! He stopped sud
denly in the road, striving to realize
the thought He had never dreamed
OF such a contamination, and 1t stag
gered him What was there in com
mon between that outcast, and this
well-groomed, frankly spoken young
woman? Yet, whoever she was or had
been, the remembrance Of her could
not be conjured out OF his brain. He
might look back with repugnance upon
those others, those misty phantoms of
the past, but the vision OF his mind
his interchangeable divinity Of the
vine shadows, would not become OBJ
secured, nor grow less fascinating
Suddenly there occurred to him rec
objection of Silent Murphy, and his
strange, unguarded remark. What
could the fellow have meant? Was
there indeed some secret in the life
history of this young girl?-some

Rouoh Elbows.

Rough elbows are great blemish
to a pretty arm, and they should be
avoided by every dainty girl. Avoid
leaning on the elbows. as this tends to
tougher and coarsen the skin. Prob
ably the best remedy known is to rub
the elbow with common table salt. The
slight friction will stimulate the blood
and skin and make It grow firm and
smooth. At night rub small amount
OF mutton tallow or cold cream into
the elbow.
