Gowns are becoming more and
more charming as the midsummer
season grows old. The favorite
fabrics are dainty organizes and
swisses in exquisite plain colors
and delicately flowered designs.
Quaint touches and picturesque
effects are evident in these dress
es, and will grow in favor as the
summer advances.
A most charming addition to
these simple little frocks are the
lingerie and soft straw hats trim
med with large, soft feathers.
One admirable feature of these
designs is the fact that they are so
simple that a clever girl can make
her own dress with the aid of a
good fitting plain princess pattern,
which can be changed to suit ones
taste and fancy.

THE LOST MISSIONARY
BY I'll, III. Hudson.

The disappearance would prob
ably have remained mystery for
ever, had 1t not been for the re
markable line of facts herein mar
rated.
DR.. John Gabriel had made al
exhaustive study of the nervou.
system, and was an authority OF
the brain and the functions of the
various nerve centers. The trus
tees of the university were greatly
shocked when they received his
communication stating that he had
decided to go as a medical mis-.
sionary to the Kongo region. Fol
a time the board heard from him
at regular intervals.
That his visit was of two-fold
character became manifest as
time went on, for 1t was evident
from his letter that his spare mo-
ments were spent in the study OF
animal life. Then the communica-
lions ceased. 1t was learned later
that he had set off Unexpectedly
on a trip into the interior with
his rifle and medicine case. AS
he never returned, he was pre-
sumed dead, and was finally for
gotten.
Then came the astonishing
news, after a period of almost 20
years, that he had ben found by a
member of an exploring party. Ac-
cording to report, retired Eng
lish officer by the name of Clayton
Smith, who had gone with a party
after big game, had lost his way
He had found John Gabriel under
peculiar and thrilling circum-
stances.
Having wandered for some time
through the dark and unbeater
depths of tangled vegetation, the
hunter was suddenly seized from
behind by what afterward proved
to be huge gorilla. The ANNA
tore his gun from his grasp, and
after splintering the stock against
a tree, deliberately bent the barre
with his powerful arms. The
hunter stood paralyzed with fear
awaiting further attack. Before
him stood the great ape with III
enormously long and powerful
arms, It's cleaning teeth, bristlinl
hair and eyes glistening beneath
a wrinkled forehead. The brut,
stood over five feet. and weighed
at least 400 pounds.
Then a change came over tn,

eyes. 1t commenced friendl,
chattering. and. after beckonini
Smith to follow, dropped on al
tours. Smith advanced. At ths
slightest hesitation on his part
the animal showed signs of anger
Thus they proceeded until they
emerged into a clearing. Stand
ing in the center of the oper
space was huge tree. and in III
branches was a hut. Upon nearer
approach, Smith discerned an ole
white-haired man seated on plat
form. The gorilla chartered gIee

man descended a ladder, and,
after listening to the prattle of
the gorilla, came over and grasp
ed the hand of the captive. The
story of the lost missionary fol-
lowed.
He had entered the forest to
study animal life. One day a sick
gorilla made its way to the foot
of the tree. Gabriel nursed IL
back to health. Then an inspira-
ton came to him. He resolved to
carry out theory. Placing the
animal under the Influence of
opiates. he performed a delicate
operation on nerve center be-
meath a cranial ridge. A metallic
disc was then inserted, and as
time went on the professors theo-
ry was found to be correct. The
animal now had the mental pos
sibility and capacity of a human
being. Its affection for its mas
ter knew no bounds. Gabriel not
only learned its language, but the
gorilla was soon able to speak a
few words of English. 1t was the
purpose Of the professor to pre-
pare list of gorilla words, and
then return to civilization and re-
ceive the honors which would be
his.
The next morning the mission
airy and the gorilla saw Smith on
his way. A year passed, and, as
no tidings came from the aged
scientist. a party was formed to
bring him back. As they pene-
trated the wilderness and finally
neared the vicinity of the place
where the recluse had spent SO
many years of his life, one of the
party, acting contrary to orders,
shot q gorilla. They tracked it
by following the trail of blood to
the clearing. Here the truth was
laid bare. In one corner OF the
hut was the whitened skeleton of
the missionary. and on its knees
by the cot. in the attitude of pray
er. was the dead body of the goril-
LA. Peneiled on the wall of the
room they read: There are 9TH
ers who can teach and proselyte

careful and not break things.
Then she wished for an ice pal
ace-but it was so cold she nearly
froze. So she began to wonder
what a fairy palace was like, and
then disobeyed the fairy by wish
ing to live in one. Immediately
the ring snapped off. and Mabel
found herself in her own room al
home, with the fairy beside her.
This is your real palace" said
the fairy. Here live your papa
