It is difficult to make much variety in the clothes of little boys Until they are put in trousers they wear principally the Russian suit and this is not susceptible of much variation. Tn the suit shown in 499s the outer jacket portion is arranged in tucks in fgout and back. The closing is double breasted and runs all the way 10 the back. Poplin is much used for these little suits at present, but it does not wash and Is therefore ex- travagsut. Much better for warm weather are linen and the heavy weight ginghams. Plain colors are more stylish than stripes, plaids or cheeks
 The pattern (499S) is cut in sizes 2, { and years. To make the suit in the 4-year size will require yards of material 36 inches wide.

the winter, fascinated by her exuber-
ant attractiveness, and fattered by
her bold and artful pursuit Of him.
She had thought to amuse herself in
her dreary, wretched, sordid life by
his fresh, frank, open admiration. The
woman's drunken husband had cared
little at first; but lately, under the
jibes. sneers, and innuendos Of his
companions, he had become fercely
jealous. Then in maudlin fury he had
forbidden the boy the house, and had
sworn that he would kill him on
sight.
The woman thereupon swiftly made
up her mind to break the thraldom Of
her matrimonial bond, and in the
young strangers company or by his
agency to leave the country. She
neither desired nor intended to be
tied to the boy a half dozen years
younger than She.
Once in civilization it would be
easy to break away from him, she
knew. Thereafter she had no fear
but with her beauty, her wit, and her
courage. with her utter INSCRIPTIONS
ness, she could make her way in the
east which she had never seen. And
this was the night on which they had
agreed to take their departure.
Since her husbands wild outbreak
of jealousy, she had seen the boy only
once. In that surreptitious interview
they had concocted their plans. Her
husband spent the greater part of the
nights, whenever he had any money,

The young man forced the door shut,

fur cap and threw it on the floor. He
stretched out his icy gauntletted
hands toward her. To reach the cabin
he had been compelled to face the

from him.

BETS IT WILL RAIN
Kansas Farmer Stakes $4,000
on the Weather.
Has Tried 1t Five Times and He's
Out $175,000-If He Ever
Wins He'll Be

Colby, Kan.-sJim" Fike is trying to
get rich betting against the weather.
Last August he staked $4,000 on the
chance that it would rain within
three months. If it had rained, as he
bet it would, he would have made a
quarter of a million and got his $780,.

weather is a freakish thing out on this
high plateau, and Fike will be mighty
thankful if the $50, 900 is returned to
him 10 he can have it to take another
flyer against the weather this year.
Fike calls his method of fortune hunt,

The Old Gao.

Miss Lillian B. Rowe, at an adver-

said of the harem skirt:

tribute, would provide for the expenses
of the journey. She had got it out
and tied it up in a little canvas bag.
It lay on the table near the lamp.
Fifteen miles south the Union Pa
cifc railroad ran across the continent.
It had been her plan to ride thither
and take the first train eastward,
losing themselves in Chicago, and
thence by whatsoever route pleased
them making their way to New York.
Whether her husband would pursue
her or not, she could not tell. He
would be without the money, since
she meant to take all with her. He
would hardly be able to follow her
very soon. But if he did, that was a
risk she must take.
Engrossed in the present, the boy
thought nothing at all about the fu-
ture. The woman's predicament
bulked so large to his immature imagi-
the horizon. There was no other hori-
zon than she, in fact. And his one
desire was to get her away to free
her.
And now this storm babe fair to
render the whole plan impossible.

If he had won and the average yield
