the front are meant as trimming

The blouse is made with a fitted
lining, which can be used or omitted
as liked. When this lining is used it
is faced to form the yoke, and the
blouse with the fancy collar is ar
ranged over it.. When the lining is
omitted the yoke is joined to the up
per edge of the blouse and the fancy
collar conceals the joining. The
sleeves are the new ones, cut in one
piece each, and are so shaped as to

They were instinctively jealous OF
him Yet both turned with certain
relief, or at least Tom did so, who
was aware that Beau was one Of his
own faction, man, against the sway
of the everlasting feminine Janet
took the hand which the mother had
stretched out toward her boy and
chung to it, drawing herself close into
Lady Cars skirts. Beau was not of
her faction in any sense Of the word.
The little girl pulled her mothers
face toward her, and whispered her
tale into Carry's ear.
ITO have your tea upstairs! Why
doesn't he want to be. with US, dear,
after being away so long? You shall
have what you like best, my dear
children, if you really prefer the nur-
sery to the drawing room and my
company.
HE says they have this kind of
JAM" said Janet in her mothers ear,
land do whatever they like she
added after a pause.
Lady Car gave her husband a look
which the children noted though they
did not understand There was a
slight appeal in it, and some relief.
He had said that she must keep them
with her, as much as if he had not
been there; that he would not sepa-
rate her, not for an hour, not for a
meal, from her children; and she had
thought it her duty to have them
there, though their presence and his
together kept Garry in harassed
consciousness of the two claims upon
her. They concluded that mother
was not angry with great relief; but
they did not understand the guilty
satisfaction of Carry in finding that
they liked the nursery the best.

CHAPTER w.

The time of Toms holidays was
rather holiday also for Beaufort,
who, having got certain amount of
amusement out of his notebooks and
their mine Of school life, was begin
ming to be bored by himself, and to
think, under his breath, what a little
prig and ass he had been in his boy
ish days, and how astounding it was
that Carry should take it all in with
such undoubting faith. He was lit
tie philosopher in his idle way, and
Carry began to be sometimes dis
concerning but often amusing problem
to him. He laughed softly some
times when he was by himself to see
how seriously she took him, and how
much his youthful superiority i'm
pressed her. 1t had not been his in
tention when he again took up the
notebooks to increase, as he had GER
tainly done, her admiration and, con-
sequently, her expectations of him
self. He had hoped, if anything, to
beguile her a little from the pursuit
of results, to make her less in earnest
about the great work on which she
had set her heart But this expedi-
ent mad not succeeded. She was more
than ever bent upon the fulfilling of
that early promise which was so beau
tiful and so wonderful in her eyes.
Beaufort was half f1attered, half
vexed by this result. 1t is hard to re-
sent woman's admiration even if it
is of something which is no longer
yourself. 1t softened his heart, but it
unarmed him more than ever, as it
made her more and more sure.
He took advantage of Tom with a
little secret chuckle to himself behind
books Tom amused this philosopher,
too He liked to draw him out, to
watch the movements of character in
him, even to speculate as to what
kind of a man it had been that had
produced this child. He must be like
his father, Beaufort said to himself,
without any sentiment even of ami
mostly toward Carrys husband. Ger
tainly he had got the better of that
man. He had obliterated Torrance,
as it were, from the face of the earth;
but he had no such feeling as Carry
had about Torrance's life and Tor
rance's money. He took it all much
more calmly than she could do, not
even thinking of the consciousness of
the mission which made him own all
his comfort and happiness to Tor
rance. Tom, however, was the sub
ject of various speculations in his
stepfather's mind. If this was what
the little Torrance was modified by
Lindons, what must the original have
been? And what would this one turn
to; an ordinary country gentleman,
no better or worse than his neigh
bors, or what? A vague sense in his
mind was that there might be future
trouble to carry in the child's develop
ment moved him mildly, for the dis
lance between childhood and man
hood seems so long looking forward.
though so short when we look back,
and any such danger must be far in
| the future.

Right to Flog Pupils.

Professor Wallace r. Ridge, prin-
cipal of the schools at Centralia, Pa,
has been upheld by both the Judge
and jury in fiogging Edward Mich
aels. an unruly and disobedient pupil.
Professor Ridge had been arrested
and prosecuted at the instance of the
boys mother, Mrs. Daniel Michaels.
The evidence showed that the boy
had been surly and abusive and had
left the school without permission.
Upon his return Professor Ridge had
made an example of him by thrashing
him with strap. The Judge charged
in his favor, and the jury acquitted
him and placed the costs Of the case

JURY DOES QUICK WORK.
Returns Fifteen Indictments In One
 Day.

Decatur, May 29.-(Special. )-After being in session only one day the special grand jury of the Morgan county law and equity court adjourned late yesterday. They found 15 true bills against the prisoners now confined in the county Jail. Judge Thomas W. Vert of this court charged the grand jury that 1t waa necessary only for them to investigate the charges against the jail prisoners, as there had but re- gently been a grand jury of the circuit court held in this county. \ Judge Vert who believes in doing things, was of the opinion that it would be of less expense to the county to hold this special grand jury so as these jail cases might be dis posed of at this term of his court which convenes next Monday morning than it would be to keep these prisoners in jail and feed them until the regular grand jury which convenes this fall. There are ten negroes and six white men confined in the county jail. Among them are Bob Clements, the white man who was con- victed of the wholesale murder of the Tom Edmondson family at Woodland Mills last November and given 20 years in the state penitentiary. His case Is now in the supreme court. Another pris- oner Is Jim Parrish, negro, who is un- der sentence to hang for the murder of Lem Lane, another negro.

NELSON HAM MFRS
 INLAND INTO PULP

Coffroth's Arena, San Francisco. May 29.-Battling Nelson of Illinois knocked out Dick Hyland of California this aft ernoon in the twenty-third round of q scheduled 45-round bout. The contest was one of the most vicious ever seen In a local ring. The fight was fairly even up to the thirteenth round, after which Nell son took the lead. Hyland was knocked out by a left hook to the stomach after he had been floored several times in the two preceding rounds.
 Throughout dozen rounds Hyland and the champion hammered each other with vicious swings and uppercuts that cut short all promise of a 45-round contest. Tn the early stage Hyland was the mas ter, although 1t could not be said wheth- CT or not Nelson was extending himself. During the last three rounds, however, the Dane went after his opponent with out an instant's rest knocking him down time after time and staggering the game Californian with binding volleys of right and left swings to the head, varied by an occasional crushing straight left to the stomach.
 In the final round Hyland was almost at the champions mercy.
 Nelson frequently offered his face as a target while he tried for body blows, but only after the fight was half over. Until the climax the California fighter had confidence in himself, rush with rush, clinch with clinch and generally carrying the fight to his opponent.
 Nelson was hissed continuously for his attempts to rough 1t and throughout the fight the men exchanged unfriendly crit icisms. The attendance was 5000. The receipts were s1S,O00, of which Nelson re- ceives $6500 and Hyland $15O0.

Q 'BRIEN GETS GOOD

 q believe the city is fortunate in get ting the money on these conditions,' said Captain O'Brien, because it is the most favorable terms upon which the city has ever financed temporary loan. Only s75,- 600 of the amount will be taken now, so that interest on this amount only will have to be paid from the present until January 20, 1910, the date upon which the note will mature. When more money is needed between August 1 and August 10 the city will execute another note and pay interest on the money for only the time used. I am not yet prepared to announce where the money was secured"
