New York, Oct 15.- Not within
many seasons have so many ex-
tremely high priced fabrics and trim
mings been brought out in one season
as are now in evidence. The wonder
full achievements of weavers and
! dyers and needle workers have called
| for increased extravaganza and wo-
| men are learning how to bear with
out blinking prices which few
wears ago would have seemed incred-
lble. There are, for instance, the
exquisite velours, which sell at SIS
to $25 per yard. The only m1tigat-
ing circumstance in this carnival of
extravaganza is that the stuffs are
very wide and that not a very great
quantity of any of them is needed for
frock, while the most expensive
of the velvets are seldom used for
entire frocks, being usually combined
with plain materials.
The embossed velvets are used,
too, for long coats or nantes en-
suite with frocks into which the vel
vet enters as trimming, the main
body Of the frock being in plain ma
terial. Several of the French makers
have sent out stunning costumes of
this sort, the frock simple of line,
little shortwasted, straight and
clinging, the mantle distinctly pictur
esque in sumptuous way and usual
ly slightly draped, the sheer, soft,
silken foundation and the crepelike
softness and lightness of the velvet
allowing this material to be handled
as easily as satin or crepe.
But in spite of the expense, this is
evidently to be velvet season.
Enormous quantities Of velvet in all
grades are being sold for entire
frocks, for trimmings, for coats, for
millinery purposes, and the amount

els in black velvet are shown by the

not form the whole frock it is likely
to be lavishly used in combination

The striped crepes, silk cachemires
velvets, ETC., make nice little frocks

fashion or another. As rule the

each end by buttons trimmed the
front. narrow bands of the velvet
bordered the girdls at top and bot

the front and back of the bodice
bordering shallow white guimpe
and turning continued down the out
side of the long sleeves, leaving the
shoulder linen unbroten. With pos
sibly some modification Of this
guimpe and sleeve band this would
be an admirable model for any little

crown of the palm was swaying in the

bow and arrows. Where is he? May

shaggy and yellow like the grass
and terrible eyes-Oh!"
The girls scream was met by a fe-
rocious, snarling roar, so deep and
prolonged that the air quivered and
the very ground seemed to shake.
Coda lion!" cried Blake. the
hair on his bare head bristling like
startled animals.
He turned squarely about toward
the ridge. his bow half drawn. Had
the lion shown himself then Blake
would have shot on the instant. AS it
was, the beast remained behind the
screening border of grass, where he
could watch his intended quarry with
out being seen in turn. The delay
gave Blake time for reflection. He
spoke sharply, as it were biting off his
words: Hit out I'll stop the buffer"
IT can't Oh. I'm afraid"
Again the hidden beast gave voice
to his mighty rumbling challenge.
Still he did not appear, and Blake at
tempted derisive jeer: Hey, there,
louder! We've not run yet! It's all
right, little woman. The skulking
sneak is trying to bluff us. Fraid to
come out if we don't stampede. He'll
make off when he finds we don't scare.
Lions never tackle men in the day
time. Just keep cool while.

"Look!-there to the right!-I saw
him again! He's creeping around!
See the grass novel"
That's only the wind. It eddies
Wv Nou: he Is stalking around.
Trying to take us from behind-curse
him! He may get me, but I'll get
him, too-the dirty sneak!"
The blood had flowed back into
Blake's face, and showed on each
cheek in little red patch. His broad
chest rose and fell slowly to deep
respirations; his eyes glowed like
balls of white-hot steel. He drew his
bow little tauter and wheeled slow
ly to keep the arrow pointed at the
slight wave in the grass which marked
the stealthy movements of the lion.
Miss Leslie, more terrified with every
added moment of suspense, cringed
around, that she might keep him be-
tween her and the hidden beast.
Minute after minute dragged by.
Only man of Blake's obstinate, sui
len temperament could have withstood
the strain and kept cool. Even he
found the impulse to leap up and run
all but irresistible Miss Leslie
crouched behind him, no more able
to run than mouse with which a cat
has been playing.

election to be held April 4, 1910, Since
coming to Devils Lake Mr.. Traynor
has established a reputation for hon

We do not need to ask. him to promise
that if elected he will do his duty as
mayor. His past record is guaranty
of that Mr.. Traynor is a graduate of
the State University literary and law
departments. AS a member of the
State Legislature he ranked among the
best. His ability manifested during
the session brought him unsought the
offer Of appointment to the position of
Assistant Attorney General at a re-
naunerative salary, but he declined
chiefly because the law was amended
and salary increased during his term
as member of the legislature. This
sncident clearly indicates that if elect

do his duty regardless of self interest
