Te<zng Woman In Washington Had
an Exciting Race to Recapture
$40 Bill From a Small Dog.

Cajoling a little dog to surrender
$40 note is responsible for the nervous
upset of a young woman.
MY name is nobody's business,
she exclaimed when it was all over.
"but thank goodness have my money
back"
She was willing to tell how it came
about, and to vouchsafe that she was
employed as a telephone girl in an
apartment house, but this was the
boundary of her confidence.
Emerging from the library she en-
countered the small dog, which had
shaken its muzzle or had been slight
ed in the distribution. 1t grabbed her
skirt with a gutteral exclamation, and
tugged right vigorously. At first the
girl was amused. Then she worried.
AS matter of fact the skirt was
frafl and f1imsy. 1t was, moreover,
only makeshift. She was preparing
to take belated vacation at Atlantic
City and was saving her most attrac-
tive apparel for the Boardwalk.
The dog held firm. The girl trot.
TED along, keeping pace, lest the 1aDrlc
give way, to her great public humilia'
ton. She begged and pleaded, but her
voice seemed only to spur her tor.
mentor to greater speed.
Suddenly occurred the idea of a
counter temptation. She leaned for.
ward, offering her handbag. The dog
released his grip. At the same time
the handbag flew open and out popped
a $40 note. The beast seized it and
continued his flight, the girl in scream.
ing pursuit.
Down the street fed the pair, the
girl coaxing the dog to stop. Round.
ing it up at a fence she got down on
hands and knees to persuade the AMI
NAL to yield up the treasure. When
finally came the chance to pounce she
thrust her hand half way down the
dogs throat to make sure that he re-
tanned no vital pieces Of her precious
note. She got it all.-Washington

Abandoned Bride at Altar.

A mining village in Mid Lanark.
Scotland, has been the scene of a
somewhat painful incident. A mar.
riage had been arranged between 8
prepossessing young woman, and a
miner, who resides in a neighboring
parish. The wedding feast had been
spread, the best maid and grooms
man were on the spot, and the guests
In wedding attire, had all arrived
some having journeyed all the way
from Renfrewshire. The nonappear
ance of the bridegroom at the hour
fixed for the ceremony, however, gave
rise to feeling of anxiety, which gave
place to CONSERVATION when messen
ger arrived to state that the brides
quondum sweetheart had changed his
mind, and abandoned the idea of mar
riage.

Evening Wraps.

Many of the new evening wraps,
particularly the broadcloth ones, are
almost in Louis XIV. style, with a
rather tight belt around the waist
and long slashed sleeves with lace ruff
f1es. Empire wraps are also seen,
mostly in chiffon and linen and match
ing the frock, or else in black. Mauve
is another general favorite. Gilded
evening coats of corded silk are a
pretty novelty, and so is pink crepe.
lined with black chiffon, or soft silk.
These last-named capes are usually
draped in one of the charming fash
fous which have the advantage to the
home dressmaker Of being simplicity
as we'll as beauty itself.

you kindly tell i'm yer business, sir,

The boy vanished again, but reap
peared in few seconds.
will you go hup, sir? I'm bound
to go back. You'll find the way easy,
sir, but it amt very grand
Gervais nodded his head as the boy
ran f1eetly away.
Up the narrow, dirty, creaking
stairs he climbed with difficulty; and
then stood before dilapidated room,
which faced the stairs, with a pic
ture of filth, misery and horror be-
fore him; a gaunt, unshaven face
peered eagerly from what should
have been a bed, but was only a mass
of ragged clothes, thrown on the
floor.
Have yer brought the swag?"
muttered a hoarse, weak voice, and
then the words ended in a cry as the
man recognized Gervais, and knew
that the game was up.
A wave of sympathy and disgust
passed over the earl. He could scarce
speak at first; then, seeing the
wretched creatures fear, he said,
gently:
Il have not come to harm you
only to ask you some questions.
The miserable man. shaking in
every limb, dared to lift his head
again.
"I've been bad this many a day."
he whined, wiping the -, perspira-
ton from his brow with thin, shak-
ing hand. "I amt got much longer
to live; I knows it-ay, knows it"
Speak and tell me the truth"
cried Gervais, sternly. "If you will
tell me the exact truth I will give
you all the help you need. Speak,
mani"
What "a to say?" queried the
other.
What do you know about-abous
Lady Derriman, that made you
write such a letter to her? For
Heavens sake, man, don't lie; tell me

Gay, I'll tell yer," he said, slowly;

Gervais said nothing more, and 10
rang the bell and sent his message
through Parsons, who was too we'll
drilled to exhibit any surprise at his
masters unexpected presence. In a
few minutes the door opened and
Enid appeared.
She was pale as death, and was
dressed In her outdoor clothes ready
to start.
Gervais cleared his throat: he
found it difficult to speak at first;
then he said:
Miss Leslie, I have to tender yos
a most sincere apology for my harsh
words Of the other day. II have
since learned my mistake, and
should like to try and thank you"
His voice broke little, and he
turned away.
How she longed to comfort him, to
give him hope and happiness; but she
could say nothing, and all she did was
to put her hand on chair for sup
port and turn even paler than before.
Dare came forward to help her, but
she shook her head, and then Gervais,
having mastered his emotion, went
on in low, subdued way, and told
her of his mothers earnest entreaty
that Enid would make a home with
her.

TO COMPOUND COLD CREAM
Recipe for Most Valuable Toilet Prep
aratlon Which Can Be Made
at Home.

To make sure of getting cold
cream in which there are no animal
oils many women like to compound
their own massage creams.
They often fail to get results from
a good recipe by not understanding
the art of compounding. All cold
creams are made in the same way.
The fatty substances are put in a
double boiler and melted, stirring
constantly. When all are melted turn
out In a bowl and stir, scraping down
from sides.
The chief trouble comes In adding
the extracts and astringents, which
must be added gradually when the

Concerninu Statues,

The municipal service of Paris is at
last thinking of granting fewer per-
missions for the erection of statues
all over the city, its first step toward
this reform will be to demand model
Of the proposed monument to be ap-
proved by commission of artists, for
hitherto the sculptor's design was not
examined prior to acceptation Of the
proposal and space was granted with
out further question If the person to
be honored was considered worthy.
A municipal councillor whose opin-
ion carries some weight has suggested
that most Of the ugly and very un.
necessary modern statuary which fills
all the gardens of Paris and crowds

the streets and public squares to be
removed to the new gardens which are

possessor Of good velvet hat feels
that it should do service for two or
even three seasons and last years hat
with graceful brim and new up

economist, as spick and span new

The cleverness Of the milliner is
put to the test, to either replace the
old crown with a new one, or put the
trimming on the hat so that the out
line of the old crown is concealed or
changed. AS 1t happens the task Is
not SO difficult this season because

Heavy Coat for Fall.

A white blanket coat is almost a
necessity in full outfit, unless its
place is taken by one of the newer
polo" coats. Another essential in the
wardrobe is one Of the new sweaters,
which, fastening in front, Is as easy to
slip over ones gown as any cloth
jacket, and is also sufficiently long to
often take the place Of the heavier

For the mountains a sweater Of this
description will prove of inestfmable
use. for it can be so easily carried on
every tramp. At the seashore also
there will be scarcely a day when It

CHAPTER XVII.
For My Sake.

A scrap of dirty paper was inside
the envelope, and at first Gervais had
some difficulty in deciphering the
written words, the ink was so pale
and the characters so crude. He
walked away from the door to a win
dow on the corridor that was fitted
up with cushioned seats and curtains
Ike a small room, and throwing the
other letters he held on to the velvet
bench, he stood with his back to the
light and began the task Of mastering
the contents of this most extraor-
dinary epistle:
mi ledy, this Is to warn you as
you'd better send some mony at onct,
or 1t u'll be nasty for yer. nos to

no trix, as l amt to be fuled, and
means to ave mony for mi panes.
Mony must be ere wi'out fale ter
morrer or mkt day. JIM COTES."
Gervais read these lines slowly
three times without grasping their
meaning. then gradually a horrible,
heart beat wildly one moment, and
nearly stopped the next. Strong man
as he was. he trembled from head to
loot, and the scrap of paper f1utered
in his grasp.
Some creature had dared to write
threateningIy to Dorothy, his wife,
the woman he loved and had put in
his pure mothers place. Threaten
ingly. What did it mean? Slowly,
scarcely conscious of what he did,
he sank TO the seat and stared be-
fore him at the words that seemed to
grow more monstrous each instant.

Again and again he repeated that
sentence to himself. till it beat in his
brain aud made the hot passion Of his

Novel Tunic Effect.

A pretty idea for the finishing Of
tunic, especially one of yelling or 9TH
er soft material, Is to slash the tunic
in front, like an overskirt, and knot
it loosely at each side, drawing 1t
away so as to show a great part of
the underskirt up to the knees. The
knots are made about halfway from
the ankles and the tunic falls loosely
below them, Of course, It Is caught

almost entirely.
An example of what may be done
with velvet hat, having wide brim
