The Volatile Waist Line.

Though the waist line is less YER
satile than it used to be, and is more
and more inclined to assume the con-
ventional position, the Empire effect
is still to be seen. For reception and
dancing gowns 1t is very graceful, and
the soft outline it gives to the figure
is delightfully."- picturesque. But for
the street all this is out of place; it
gives the wearer a silhouette that is
untidy, and suggests a looseness that
is altogether Objectionable. In regard
also to evening gowns the same fault
may be found. So long as toilette
is to be worn chiefly while walking or
standing, the short waist is permits
sible-even desirable-but for a din
ner, concert or theater it is no longer
so. The bust, unconfined, falls out of
shape, and it is the realization of this
fact that has led to so many of the
newest evening bodices being made
with swathed draperies and close fit.

While the sergeant went to the tele-
phone to carry out these orders, Capt.
Clinton turned to look at Howard, who
had collapsed, white and trembling, in
to a chair.

Howard appealingly 81 assure you

His arms folded, his eyes sternly
fixed upon him, Capt. Clinton stood
confronting the unfortunate youth,
staring at him without saying a word.
The persistence of his stare made
Howard squirm. 1t was decidedly I'M
pleasant. He did not mind the deten-
ton so much as this mans overbear-
ing, bullying manner. He knew he was
innocent, therefore he had nothing to
fear. But why was this police captain
staring at him so? Whichever way
he sat, whichever way his eyes turned,
he saw this bulldog-faced policeman
staring silently at him. Unknown to
him, Capt. Clinton had already begun
the dreaded police ordeal known as
the third degree"

CHAPTER TX.

Fifteen minutes passed without q
word being spoken. There was deep
silence in the room. 1t was so quiet
that once could have heard pin drop
Had a disinterested spectator been
there to witness 1t, he would have
been at once impressed by the dra-
matte tableau presented-the dead
man on the floor, his white shirt front
spattered with blood, the cringing,
frightened boy crouching In the chair,
the towering figure of the police cap
tain sitting sternly cycling his hapless
prisoner, and at the far end of the
room Detective Sergeant Maloney

through the telephone.
what did you do 1t for?" Numbered
the captain suddenly.
Towards tongue Glove to his palate.
He could scarcely articulate. He was
innocent, of course, but there was
something in this mans manner which
made him fear that he might, after all,
have had something to do with the
tragedy. Yet he was positive that he
was asleep on the bed all the time.
The question is, would anybody believe
him? He shook his head pathetically.
81 didn't do it. Really, l didn't"
Shut your mouth! You're lying
and you know you're lying. Wait till
the coroner comes. Well fix you"
Again there was silence, and now be-
gan long, tedious wait, both men re-
tanning the same positions, the cap
tain watching his prisoner as a cat
watches a mouse.
Towards mental anguish was al
most uncomfortable. He thought of his
poor wife who must be waiting up for
him all this time, wondering what had
become of him. She would imagine
the worst, and there was no telling
what she might do. If only he could
get word to her. Perhaps she would
be able to explain things. Then he
thought of his father. They had quar-
relied, it was true, but after all it was
his own flesh and blood. At such a
critical situation as this, one forgets

to his assistance. He must get a

Howard nodded.

The captain turned to his sergeant.

Maloney leaned over and whispered
something in the captains ear. The
captain smiled grimly.

Sharply he added: you see / know

replied Howard calmly. Il married

Won't you please let me send her a
message?"
The captain eyed Howard sus-
piciously for a moment, then he turned
to his sergeant:
"Maloney, telephone this mans wife
What's the NUMBER"
"Eighty-six Morningside."
Maloney again got busy with the
telephone and the wearying wait be-
gan once more. The clock soon struck
two. For whole hour he had been
subjected to this gruelling process,
and still the lynx-eyed captain sat
there watching his quarry.
If Capt. Clinton had begun to have
any doubts when Howard told him
who his father was, Maloney's infor-
nation Immediately put him at his
ease. 1t was all clear to him now.
The youth had never been any good.
His own father had kicked him out.
He was In desperate financial straits.

Yes, and we've got our man, too"
The coroner turned to look at the
prisoner.

Notable Is the Revival of the "Bang,"
Fashion Which Is Not Received
With Joy.

Nowadays 1t is found convenient to
change the style of hair dressing in Or
der that it may agree with this hat or
that dress. There are some toilettes
that would be bereft of their effect,
and even be made to look absurd, II
the hair were not arranged in keep
ing.
The curled fringe, called the bang"
has been revived
One reason for the justifiable revival
of the light-curled lovelocks that stray
about the forehead is the immense
popularity of the short center parting,
which is just little trying without
their softening influence; and another
is the reinstatement of the heavy plat
or the twisted drapery of hair which
is used to frame the chignon. When
the plat weights the hair over the
forehead the counteracting effect of
few gossamer-like tendrils of hair be-
low is requisite for the sake of ele-
gance.
One of the coiffures of the moment
illustrates the conical dressing that
is becoming to the girl with small
face and mignon features. 1t is built
up by means of twisted drapery Of
hair which resembles plat, and be-
low it is thick coil held in place by
tortoise-shell prongs. The hair is care
lessly ondule beneath, so that the ears
are hidden, and there are few stray
lovelocks on the forehead.
In another the plat is used as a
coronal merely, and all the rest of the
hair is curly except the childish-look-
ing straight fringe.

A good many contrasts of coloring
and actual pattern, too, are notable in
the new foulards; an absolutely di-
verse design being often interviewer in
the one length of material, while sew
eral model gowns combine spotted
foulard and plain twill silk or fine face

frilled band to match, being other
accessories of the corsage.

TRYING TO REFORM NATURE
Plan to Produce stlngIess 5ee cives Rise to Many Other Desirable
 Propooed Changes.

The proposal to rob the bee of it's sting is revived by professor in one of our universities. It may be good thing for beekeepers, though they do not appear to be clamoring overland for the reform; but what about the bee itself? That it needed a sting to establish itself in business 50 to speak, is beyond question. Oth- erw:so nature would not have taken the trouble of providing it with one.
 The interest of the plan for the non-apiarian lover of animal nature lies rather in the possibilities 1t sug- gests in other directions. A non- growing rooster would be boon to the suburbanite and the summer va- cationer, especially since M. Rostand has demonstrated that the sun would rise none the less. Non-chirping matutinal birds are also much to be desired, and screechless night owls. Barkless seals would be a boon to visitors to the zoo with tender ear drums; but, speaking of barks, the varieties of dogs that least indulge in that method of relieving their emotions are prone to bite. Indeed, a biteless dog is more to be desired than barkless one. Miauling cats readily respond to treatment with projectiles, and need not detain us. They have troubles of their own, anyhow, just now, chiefly connected with their hospitality to microbes. A brayless donkey can be improvised on the moment by tying a weight to its tail.-New York Tribune.

ROOM CAREFULLY SEALED

An eerie tradition is recalled by the death a few days ago of Squire" Thomas Green of the Old Hall. Poul- ton-Lancelyn, Cheshire, England whose family have been in possession ot the estate since period prior to the Norman conquest. There Is in Poulton Old Hall mysterious locked room which has never been opened except by representative of the Green family. The hall and it's lands have sometimes been let, but the Green family have always re- tained possession of this mysterious room, which is supposed to contain several relics and other family treas ures. The last tenant would have given an increased rent for it if he could have had access to this room or could have cleared away the mvs- terious contents, but the owners re- fused to give up possession, and so the tenant left.
