Whenever two or three women
chance to meet nowadays the all
absorbing topic is millinery. There
has been such very decided
change in the shape Of the hats
this year that it is extremely diff
cult at first to accept the new mo-
dels without a great deal Of hesita-
ton and preliminary looking
around.
The Easter hats are very heavy
looking, but in reality the materials
are light; large turbans, mushroom
shapes, bowl shapes, and large
variety of curious models, shapes Of
which beggar description. But the
two things most noticeable in the
new millinery are the pose of the
hat upon the head and the cOmpli-
Gated and topheavy character OF
the crowns. Every hat is worn
low upon the head and whatever
its shape the crown is invariably
extremely wide so that on woman
with a small head one Of these mo-
dels appears not unlike a snuffer on
candle.

As soon as the fight was over and
saw that we had captured some or
their herd as well as our own / saw
that Powder Face was not with them,
but I recognized him half mile away,
his rider heading for the hills. This
made me hot, and. knowing that the
Indians would think others were fol-
lowing me, dashed after them. Old
Buckskin Joe soon began to gain, and
I got near enough for shot Ny first
shot killed the horse that an Indian
was riding alongside Of Powder Face
and his rider was soon up behind In
the usual manner they try to save
warrior. riding backward, shooting at
me with his revolver. Powder Face
was as swift as Joe. Being in the
rough sand hills and having a double
weight to carry. Joe in few minutes
got me near enough for good shot
l kept closing on them. as ! did not
want to hit my old friend Powder
Face. When I thought 1t sure as they
were riding up over a mound ! fred.
The Indians fell the one bullet going
through both. and when Powder Face
heard my voice he ran toward me
whlnnying, and with two Of the boys
who had been ordered to follow close
behind me by the lieutenant. we re-
turned to the camp IN high glee. They
found a lot Of dried buffalo and deer
meat and some fresh antelope and deer
with accompanying pepper and salt
and copious drafts Of spring water, so
a few minutes rejoicing was had. A
detail was quickly made up to bury
the dead and as we had but three
slightly wounded and FIVE horses
knocked ont the enthusiasm can hard
" be described.

Of quick action. and. to the delight Of
Young Thomas. he was ordered with
his troop to follow me. while the other
troops as soon as ready would follow
'Fours right Trot! Gallop" And
we dashed of. We followed at a gal
Ion until dark. but did not get sight
Of the Indians. and the tracks showed
that they were whooping It up on the
run. A halt was called to give the
putting horses rest. and Thomas con-
suited me. His orders were to follow
and recapture the animals. l told
Thomas l could follow the trail at
night II necessary and awaited his an
swer Il will follow you. Mr.. Cody, as
| was told TO do so. and will go wher-
ever YOU propose" After a short rest.
Mount and forward" was the order,
and the chase was continued. During
the night the Indians repeatedly dou-
blcd on their trail We did not reach
Medicine creek. where we got water
for men and horses. until II o'clock the
next day
The trail showed that the Indians
were headed southwest. in the direc-
tion Of Red Willow Springs. Knowing
that there was no water between Med
icine creek and the Red Willow, l was
sure that the Indians would make
stop there. as it was many miles from
there to the next water. We decided
it was best to keep continuously on the
lob and as the Indians must make
some stop to rest and eat we could
overlap them. When the horses were
rested. and as we had nothing on hand
to eat to delay US and had had moth
ing since dinner the day before, our
best possibility for meal was to over
take the Indians, surprise them, WHIP
them and capture what dried meat
they had.
After leaving the creek the Indians
began their old tricks in trying to hide
their trail by devices well known to
me. but l paid no attention to this,
knowing what must be their next stop
ping place. and l was as familiar with
that part of the country as they were.
Straight on we kept to the Springs, ex-
cept that occasionally we went out OF
the direct line to keep in low places
between the sand hills so as not to be
seen. At 9 o'clock that night we halt
ed four miles from the Springs. Ad-
vising Thomas to allow the men to un-
saddle and unbridle, letting each sec
ond man hold two horses by their hal
ters. and so let them feed on the grass,
changing the men every two hours so
they could get some sleep, l disguised
myself as an Indian and started of to
locate the hostiles and be back in time
so as to attack them at daylight. No
fires were TO be lighted. and all were

Fruit of all sorts is also favor

look like inverted salad bowls with
perhaps a bunch Of mixed fruits,
most often grapes and cherries on
one side, narrow velvet ribbon

a Linen Season.

TO anyone in touch with the
trend of present fashions it is evi-
dent that the Summer of 1909 will
outdo any vogue previously known
in linen suitings and dress mater
ials. Lord & Taylor is making
most enticing display Of these in a
wonderful range OF plain co!orings
and in tints that rival the finest
shades of the French dyers. All
the fruit shades, in plums, grape
and the dull rich tones hitherto
found only in more costly fabrics,
are here in textures that vary from
the fine smooth weave of French
selfsuipes and
crashes. Linen duck is very pop
ular for suits of a strictly tailored
order.
