BAMBOO FOR SUMMER HOMES
Light and Serviceable Material Is
Now Employed Whenever Il
Can Be Utilized.

Wood-brown bamboo, woven into
all sorts of pretty and useful shapes
for the adornment of summer house
and veranda, occupies a conspicuous
place in oriental stores these days.
We are all more or less acquainted
with the possibilities of the Japanese
and Chinese tree, but certainly we
never see 1t to better advantage than
In the queer articles which decorate
summer rooms so prettily.
Flower vases are among the most
popular Of the bamboo developments.
They come in variety of shapes, the
most effective being the earthenware
shapes we are accustomed to asso.
ciate with Mexico or the Indians.
Inside are sheet iron or metal re.
ceptacles to hold the water. Most
any flower would show to advantage
against the dull brown of the bamboo.
Flat tea trays of bamboo are light
and effective, especially when the
table is laid on the veranda Hang.

Summer Evoring Wraps.

Evening wraps are unusually novel
this season. the great vogue for sheer
materials finding happy expression
In these more elaborate garments.
Marquisette wraps are the latest nov.
elites, and while exorbitant prices
are asked for them In the smart
shops, there is no reason why any
smart woman could not fashion one
for herself, or at least plan one and
have 1t made at very little expense.
Black. white, Alice blue, gray, gold
and kings blue are good colors for
these little wraps. Many Of them are
cut on extremely simple lines, with
the kimono sleeve and plain back and
front. There seems to be no attempt
to fasten these garments. They are
cut so that the fronts just meet, and
are apparently designed to hang free.

Black and gold combinations, which

". and after soothing the nearly fran.

trouble. This proved to be a stout
barbed wire stretched tightly across
the highway from tree to tree four
or five feet above the ground. The
horse was badly cut about the neck
and chest, and practically ruined.
After reaching home by driving
around through a side street, he gave
the alarm; half a dozen men with
John Corrie at their head and armed
With lanterns, reached the spot, only
to find that the deadly wire had mys.
teriously disappeared! But the
marks of the horses hoofs remained
in the road to indicate the spot, and
the wounded animal was proof that
the doctor had not been mistaken, So
they telegraphed for Valentine to re.
turn instanter.
Once more on the job, he went over
the ground by daylight. The tree
trunks showed where the bark had
been torn by the barbs when 1t had
been twisted around, and of course it
was evident that a person of some
strength-perhaps two persons-had
set the cruel trap, wearing leather
or rubber gloves. Beyond this
nothing. But excitement ran high

woman hoped out of bed as lively as

admitted she was sitting in rocking

That's mighty interesting" quoth
Finney Valentine. Il wonder now"
but what it was he wondered he kept
to himself. However, for the next
few nights he maintained a close
vigil within sight and sound of the
cottage inhabited by the bed-ridden
woman, Mrs. Mary Friller. But the
only sign of life about the place came
from a half.grown, half-witted, Stat
ternly girl known as the invalid's STEP
daughter, and who answered to the
name of Keziah Ann.
Finney Valentine had been in Ann
andale six weeks. In all that time
nothing had occurred to disturb the
nocturnal quiet. There were no
more pinchings, or ghosts" no bell
ringing, no mutllations of horses or
cattle, no stealing of clothes, no in
cendiarlsm. 1t looked as though the
unknown trouble-maker had been
scared off with his arrival. Had it
not been for a certain hint uucon-

inclined to ascribe the whole cate
CORY of petty crimes and annoyances
to tramps, mischievous boys, or pure
accident. But he had a private the
DRY to prove or disprove, and so he
fingered on, taking a day or two of

New York.
During one of these absences the
outrages broke out in a totally new
manner. Shortly after ten o'clock one
