greatest number OF purposes. but cOlOrs

signs are rather less conventional than

one OF the most exclusive OF the
novelties this season is the bead work
in French designs. These are for the
tiny seed beads which come in all
coIOrs, as well as in black and gilt.
The bags are made to match each sep

The oblong pillow shown in the IL
lustratfon is particularly happy IN It's
combination OF colors as well as excel

squares are white and the surrounding
corners are peacock blue. there IS an
outlining OF black in parts OF the de-

Another new style of embroidery
used for sofa cushions and similar pur-
poses is stamped on canvas in Bull
garisn designs and worked with raffia
of all colors; this fills in very rapidly
and is most odd and attractive in ap-
pearance. As in many other forms OF
embroidery used now. all Of the forms
are outlined with black Saxonia braid
is sometimes substituted for the raffia.
Some OF the new oblong cushions are
exceedingly long. measuring occa-
sionally as much as 40 inches The
square pillows are as popular as ever.
and a majority OF them are laced with
cords run through eyelets across the
top. All of the pillows are edged with
either a cotton lace or fringe match
ing the material exactly in color. or
the fabric itself is raveled out and
tied or knotted to form fringe.
Bureau sets and pincushions are
made of cross barred dimity, embroid-
cred with dainty colored designs in
silk. Plain white lawn is also used,
embroidered in white silk with open
work forms filed IN with fagoting-

CHAPTER XVII.
The Return of Arthur Rance.

THE weapon belonged to Prince
 Galitch. but there was no doubt IT in the mind of any one of us that it had been stolen by old Bob. and we could not forget that with his latest breath Bernier had ac- cused Larsan of being his assassin. Never had the image of Old Bob and that of Larsan been so inextricably eonfounded in our restless spirits as since Rouletabille had found .'the old est dagger known to the human race'' dripping with the blood of Bernier Mime. Edith had at once realized that henceforth the fate of old Bob lay in the hands of Rouletabille. And there fore Mime. Edith. who in her tilial af- lection had not ceased to believe that the man who fay on his bed in the square tower was really her uncle, had begun to imagine. thanks to the bloody weapon. that the invisible Lar san had woven so strong a web of cir cumstantial evidence around Old Bob that ft could scarcely be broken with the design doubtless of making the old man suffer the punishment for the wretch's own crimes and also the dangerous weight of his personality. Mme. Edith trembled for Old Bob and for herself.
 And the discriminating fact remained that there had been nothing anywhere around the corpse of Bernier but the stone knife which Old Bob had stolen,
 She read the certainty of this con- viction in the eyes and in the manner of Rouletabille and of Darzac But she understood as soon as the young man began speaking that he seemed to have no other end in view than to save Old Bob from the suspicious of the authorities.
 Rouletabille in giving his evidence proved with a logical accuracy that overwhelmed the examining magis- uate and plunged the delegate into despair that the deed could only have been committed by the dead man himself. The four persons at the pcstern gate and the two persons in Old Bob's room had each been look ing at the others and had not lost sight of each other while some one was killing Bernier few steps away, so it was impossible to believe that the killing could have been done by any other than the victim.
 To this the examing magistrate, greatly interested. replied by inquir- ing whether any of us had reason to
