a New Sensation.

Little Jean had visited one of the
large summer amusement parks for
the first time. and with the courage
possessed only by those girls whose
playmates are boys and girls older
than themselves, she had not hesi-
tated when invited to take ride on
one Of the "thrillers" that abound in
such places.
To her mother, on her return from
the park, she confided the emotions
she had experienced as she swept
with her elder brothers.
Mamma" she said, when l went
round those awful turns SO fast l felt
just as if l had freckles on my

Bordered materials are to have an
immense vogue this summer, and they
are already seen in abundance In the
shops. The veilings, chiffons and cot
ton textures respond most beautifully
to these highly ornamental bands. for
such goods, while needing some trim
ming or other, are hard TO be suited
with garnitures. The bands now
woven at one side or both OF the goods
suggest striped satin ribbons, Spanish
Iaces and the odd arabesques Of IN
dian decorations, and some OF the bor'
derings show riot Of the richest col
or Again, threads of black or heavy
black band will be run along the most
delicate tints, these giving the ma
terials very Frenchy look.
Along with these handsome new
things there are counters and coun-
ters Of thin textiles all OF which have
been greatly reduced. as they belong
to the winter supplies and do not
show the latest touches. Neverthe-
less. these bargain goods are most de-
sirable, as 1t is an easy enough matter
to supply the effect Of a band Of rib
bon. satin or velvet, and in point Of
weight and coloring they do not in the
least suggest cold weather materials.
OF course the between-season gown
calls for a new hat, and even with
the winter one headgear must be
lightened now to seem in accordance
with prevailing tastes. So here are
spring hats with us, and such spring

CHAPTER XXI.
A Bar Of Soap.

Late that evening Betty Mercer ana
Dallas were writing verses OF condo
lence to be signed by all OF us and
put under the door into Jims room
when Bella came running down the
stairs.
Dial was reading the first verse
when she came. Listen to this,

Then he caught sight of Bella's
face as she stood in the doorway. .and
stopped.
: "Jm is delirious!" she announced
tragIcally. "You shut him in there
all alone and now he's delirious. I'll
never forgive any Of you"
"Delirious!" everybody exclaimed.
'.He was sane enough when l took
him his chicken BROTH" Mr.. HARRISON
Said HE was almost fluent"
He is stark. staring crazy" Bella
insisted Historically. II locked the
door carefully when I went down to
my dinner. and when came up
TIT was unlocked. and Jim was
babbling on the bed, with a sheet
over his face. He-he says the house
IN haunted and he wants all the men
to come up and sit in the room with
him"

But Mr.. HARRISON did not smile. He
was thoughtful for a minute. Then:
.I don't believe he is delirious." he
said quietly, "and l wouldn't be sur
prised II he has happened on some
thing that-will be of general inter-
ssst think l will stay with him to-
might"
After that, Of course, none Of the
others would confess that he was
afraid. so with the South American
leading. they all went upstairs. The
women or the party sat on the lower
steps and listened. but everything was
quiet. Now and then we could hear
the sound of voices, and after while
there was a rapid slamming Of doors
and the sound of some one running
Gown to the second floor. Then quiet
again.
In an hour or so they sent for F1an-
nigan, and he went upstairs. He
came down again soon. however. and
returned with something over his arm
that looked like a rope. 1t seemed to
be made of all kinds of things tied
together, trunk straps. clothesline, bed
sheets. and something that Flannigan
poin led to with rage and said he
hadn't been able to keep his clothes

USE FOR THE FIG BASKET
Berries Served In One Of the Little
Affairs Seem to Taste
Fresher

The little round baskets in which
figs are SO often sold are worth saving.
In most households they are thrown
away as soon as the figs are eaten;
often the figs are removed by a serv-
ant and the basket Immediately
thrown away without anyone noticing
how pretty it is.
A girl who likes to have things
served in original ways can make use
of these little baskets If she will take
the trouble to save them. They are
quite fiat and much the same shape
as saucer, and berries served in one

HEART RIGHT.
When He Quit Coffee,

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble.
The reason Is obvious.
This is serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un-
expected thing and can be corrected II
taken in time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
Il was great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware Of the
injurious effects Of the habit till I
became practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
nuisance to those who witnessed MY
sufferings

cause OF my ill-health, till OH applying

only gaze after him and wonder what
1t all meant.
The conclave lasted far into the
night. The feminine contingent went
to bed. but not to sleep. Some time
after midnight, Mr.. HARRISON and Max
went downstairs and could hear
them rattling around testing win

WINTER WHEAT SUFFERS FROM
 DROUTH
Farmers Fail to Keep Enough Moisture
 In Soil
COLORADO LAND YIELDS LARGE CROPS WITH FOUR INCHES
 OF RAINFALL

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 21.-Farmers of the United States needlessly threw away s,S96,OOO
 bushels of winter wheat this year, not to mention an enormous loss in other farm products, simply because they failed to prepare against drouth
 by taking steps to keep moisture in the soil This is the declaration of Secretary John T. Burns of the In ternational Dry-Farming Congress, who is now preparing to conduct the Sixth congress, which meets in this city next October.
 Mir. Burns had just read the re- port of the United States Department of Agriculture for August, showing that loss under the 1911 crop. Before him lay a sheaf of wheat raised by J. M. Bradshaw of Peyton, Colo, who has just threshed an average of 20 bushels per acre from 100 acres, patches in which ran as high as 57 bushels. On the Bradshaw land only four inches of moisture fell from the time this wheat vas planted, Septem- Der ?, to the day it was cut, July 15, and there is not a live stream in 25- miles. This land was summer titled, that is carefully cultivated and the weeds kept down the summer before it was planted This is one of the tenets of scientific dry farming as taught by the congress. It is applie- able to every part of the land, says MT. Burns. The average of all wheat in the United States according to the government is only 145 bushels, and . the quality is 92 as against 926 last year. So there is nothing wrong with the 1911 wheat but lack of moisture
 "Every farmer in the land could have done as MT. Bradshaw did with his little four inches of rainfall. had he been intelligent enough to study dry farming methods and willing to do the necessary work" declares Mir. Burns. "Some day they will prepare to meet drouth as they do al other adverse phenomena of nature. and overcome it, too"
