Although Col. McCaughna did
not make the state team, he will ac-
company it as assistant coach, hav-
ing been unanimously asked to do
so at meeting of the members held
Sunday afternoon. The contestant
went over the range four times, and
until the third time over, the colo
mel had an excellent chance to land
berth as a shooting member. How
for skirmish shooting and with a
borrowed one he failed to get his
usual high score, and was eliminat-
ed. In the final time over the range
Sunday, he made a fine score, but
not being enough to overcome the
handicap placed upon him In the
previous trial.
Colonel McCaughna finished goth
pa points behind the 18th man,
the last contestant eligible to a
place on the team.
''In the eight years that I have
been a member of the Michigan
team" said Colonel McCaughna
Monday, 81 have never seen better
teams in practice. I am satisfied
that the best men won, and even if
/ had my usual luck, the II regular
shooting members would be able to
deliver better scores"
"Sergt. Clarence Mccall is a conner
and in another year will be strong
contestant for place on the state
team" said Major M. ]. Phillips to
the Press-American Monday. "How-
ever, at Grand Rapids, he showed
lack of opportunity to practice, and
the same may be said of Lieut.. Lab
man and Sergt.-Major Mier. AL
though the latter two made good
scores, the marks were not sufficient.
Capt. Evans was eliminated after
the first time over the range because
of his not being thoroughly
acquainted with his gum"
CAPTAIN A. G.. Wilson of Ann
Arbor lead the contestants for the
first two times over the range, but
the third time over, Major Phillips
lead by two points, with Capt. Percy
Patterson of the 500 In second place.
The fourth time over found Major
Phillips with 40 points at 1000
yards, to Patterson's 33, giving the
Owosso man three-point lead.
The team goes to Detroit on June
25. to remain a week, during the
state team matches, and returns
again to Detroit on July 16 to prac-'
tice until time for the state encamp-
ment at Port Huron. From there
the team goes directly to Camp
Perry to take part in the national
matches.

Grand Rapids, June 12.-MaJor
M. j. Phillips OF Owosso proved
himself to be the champion rifem IN
of the Michigan National Guards by
winning first place in the contest
which ended Sunday at Bailey
range. The purpose of the contest
was to choose team of fifteen men
to represent the state of Michigan
in the national rifle meet to be held
at Camp Perry, Ohio, soon, undar
the direction of the war department
Capt. Perry Patterson stood second
and Private Andrew Bonscore of
Detroit third.
The contest just ended was one Of
the most grilling ever held by the
state national guards. The intense
heat and fish tall wind, played
havoc with the scores of all entra MS
and the final scores were much
smaller than they would have been
under ordinary circumstances.
Corporal Fred L. Wolfe, who is
only 10 years old, and who was the
youngest man in the contest and is
the youngest expert rifieman in the
state competed in state contest
for the first time, and secured a
place on the state team with score
of 9O4. His work was considered
remarkable for a person so young
and inexperienced in national
guards rifle contests.

team, and their scores, follow:

CHAPTER II.
lat you, Howard, dear?"

A young woman hurried out of one
of the apartments to greet Howard.
She was a viyacious brunette of me-
dunn height, intelligent looking, with
good features and fine teeth. 1t was
not a doll face, but the face of a
woman who had experienced early the
hard knocks of the world, yet in
whom adversely had not succeeded in
wholly subduing a naturally buoyant,
amiable disposition. There was de-
termination in the lines above her
mouth. 1t was a face full of character,
the face of woman who by sheer
dint of logged perseverance might ac-
complish any task she cared to set
herself A smile of welcome cleaned
in her eyes as she inquired eagerly:
"Well, dear. anything doing?"
Howard shook his head for all re-
Spouse and a look of disappointment
crossed the young wife's face.
"Say, that's tough, amt it?" she
exclaimed. "The ,janitor was here
again for the rent. He says they'll
serve us with dispossess. I told him
to chase himself, was that mad"

they do not fit the figure so tightly

skater, but who was entertaining
friends at tea that afternoon. The
skirt was slightly trained and very
clinging The material was black

blouse fashion, was Of the same silk

were cuffs of the black silk on the cor

TIGHT-FITTlNG LONG COAT
Though Still Short and Tight, Some
New Movements Sometimes
~ Introduced.

There is more novelty to be remark
ed in the cut of the skirts than of
anything else at present. Though still
short and quite tight, some new and
quite uncommon movements are some
times introduced. Some, for instance,
while always fiat, have movement
on the side as if they were being help
up by an invisible hand, but are none
the less quite round. Others, again,
are frankly slit at the foot, back and
front, showing quite boldly the little
feet shod, one might almost say
gloved, in the soft kid or doeskin boots
which are all the fashion just now.
There are still others which, while fat
and plain on the front and at the sides,
form three big plaits at the back, not
lengthwise, but across, recalling the
old-fashioned "pouf." These are some
of the novelties, but, speaking gener-
ally, the fashion Is for the narrow.

truria, where he was living in great

see him and demand his money, but

home"
Underwood had always been a mys-
terry to Howard He knew him to be
an inveterate gambler and a man en-.
tirely without principle. No one knew
who his family were or where he
came from. His source of income,
too, was always a puzzle. At college
he was always hard up, borrowing
right and left and forgetting to pay
yet he always succeeded in living on
the fat of the land. His apartments
in the Astruria. cost a small fortune
he dressed well, drove a smart turn
out and entertained lavishly. He was
not identified with any particular bust
ness or profession. On leaving col
lege he became interested in art. He
frequented the important art sales
and soon got his name in the news
papers as an authority on art matters.
His apartment was literally museum
of European and oriental art. On all
sides were paintings by old masters,
beautiful rugs, priceless tapestries,
rare ceramics, enamels, statuary,
antique furniture, bronzes, etc. He
passed for man of wealth, and moth
ers with manageable daughters, con-

Annie's vocabulary was emphatic,
rather than choice. Entirely without
education, she made no pretense at
being what she was not and therein
perhaps lay her chief charm. AS
Howard stopped to kiss her, she said
reproachfully:
you've been drinking again, How
ard. You promised me you wouldn't"
The young man made no reply.
With an impatient gesture he passed
on into the fat and flung himself
down in a chair in the dining room.
From the adjoining kitchen came a
welcome odor of cooking.
Dinner ready?" he demanded. I'm
devilish hungry"
Eyes, dear, just minute" replied
his wife from the kitchen. There's
some nice Irish stew, just what you
like"
The box-like, hole where Howard
sat awaiting his meal was the largest
room in a fiat which boosted of five

equally diminutive proportions and a
parlor with wall paper so loud that it
talked. There was scarcely enough
room to swing a cat around. The
thin walls were cracked, the rooms
were carpetless. Yet it showed the
care of good housekeeper. Floors
and windows were clean, the cover on
the table spotless. The furnishings
were as meager as they were ingen-
ious. With their slender purse they
had been able to purchase only the
bare necessities-a bed, a chair or

elevator to the street. Crossing Eighth
avenue, he was going straight home
when suddenly he halted. The glitter
and tempting array of bottles in a
corner saloon window tempted him.
He suddenly felt that if there was one
thing he needed in the world above
all others it was another drink. True,
he had had more than enough already.
But that was Coxe's fault. He had
invited him and made him drink.
There couldn't be any harm in taking
another. He might as well be hanged

The Duration of Dreams.

Something regarding the duration
of dreams can be gathered from this
experience of a man who, on sitting
down for a dental operation, took gas
and dreamed. He saw himself finish
his work, go to the club, leave for
the station, run for the train and miss
it. He returned to his club and re-
clined on a settee in the library There
he passed miserable, restless night,
getting gradually colder and colder as
the fire died down, and with pain
gradually growing about his head and
face from the hardness of his couch.
Five o'clock in the morning came, and
the steward reused him to say that
the club must now be closed. The
sleeper got up feeling very stiff-to
find that the steward was his dentist,
and that the nights adventures had
lasted exactly AZ seconds.

Engineering in Hospitals.

Practically all the important in
firmaries and hospitals in England
have their own electric generating
stations, and the size of the installa-
lions would surprise the majority Of
engineers. The equipment has to be
designed with unusual care, owing to
the special conditions which prevail
in hospital work. Even where pub
lie supply is available, the use of an
independent system is justified on ac-
count OF the security which it gives
against failure of current at critical
moment. The installations are used
for lighting, heating, ventilating. tele-
phoning and other purposes, and
many hospitals have laundries op-
Grated electrically. One county asylum
has it's own private electric railway
for conveying supplies from the near
est railway station.

dress and wears her clothes so we'll
that even an eccentric fashion, If ex-
plotted by her, might seem acceptable.
Within the next ten days or fort
night l shall have an opportunity of
seeing great many of the new mod
els now being prepared for the Riviera
season, and then / shall be in a posi-
ton to indicate what will be fashion
able next spring. It cannot be said
that all the Riviera fashions make
lasting successes, but anyone really
expert in dress matters can easily
distinguish between the merely SEN
sational modes and those which have
come to stay One of our leading
tailors says that very pale pastel col
ors, in cloth, serge and dull silk, will
take the place of pure white materials
on the Riviera this coming season, but
though this may be true to large ex-
tent pure white is never wrong In a
land of sunshine.
There are few things more agree
able to the eyes than the appearance
of a graceful woman clothed in spot
less white, with a picturesque scarf
of cherry colored chiffon twisted light
ly over her hat and a cluster of fra
grant roses tucked away in her waist
band. 1t is all very we'll for dress
artists to insist that pale blue or pale
pink in serge or fine cloth, is more
uncommon than pure white, but in the
early spring, on the Riviera, the white
tailored suit must always score, and
heavily.
To almost all women navy blue
serge or cloth is becoming, and while
it is ideal for morning wear, when Sc
verely tailored it is quite as ideal for
afternoon wear, for shopping or walk
ing, when trimmed with black silk
braids or embroideries.
Some of our very smart women are
this winter wearing tailored suits of
bright crimson serge with excellent re-
suits. These suits are almost always
as plain as possible, but perfectly cut.
They are worn with fur set, stole
and muff of astrachan, black fox or
skunk, and as rule there is turban
touue to match. With white gauntlet
gloves and a dainty frilled shirtwaist
these bright crimson suits are quite
fascinating.
A robe after the style shown in the
illustration in silk wolfe and rose-col
ored Bengaline satin trimmed with
bronze gold lace and band of black
velvet round the waist makes beau
tiful evening dress.
