but there was something so forced
and unnatural in the girls voice and
manner when she discussed his con-
lectures that he quickly fell into an
awed silence. At last, and it must
have been some time after midnight,
troubled slumbers claimed him. No
moment of forgetfulness came to Bet
ty. She was waiting for what-she
did not know! The candle burnt low
er and lower and finally went out and
she was left in darkness, but again
she was conscious of sounds from the
room below. At first 1t was only
word or a sentence, then the guarded
speech became a steady monotone
that ran deep into the night. Even
tually this ceased and Betty fancied
she heard sobs.

HANDY FOR THE TRAVELLERS !
Probably Most Convenient Pin Cush-
ion That Has Yet Been Brought
Into Common Use.

A pin cushion that lends itself to
the needs of the traveller is COM
bnation affair of cushion and jewel
box. The leather frame is green, red
or drak blue, is octagonal in shape,
with a heavily padded cushion top
covered with velvet.
This top fits so tightly into the
lower part that none but the initiated
guesses at the double function of the
box. This makes it safe hiding
place for trinkets.
An ingenious girl has copied one Of
the combination cushions by using a
fancy candy box, six inches in dia-
meter and two inches high. She pad
ded the top with wool, covered it with
pink chiffon velvet the tone Of the
flowers in the gaily stamped border
and finished the edge with a narrow
silver braid.
Instead Of using the bottom for
jewelry, she turned it into collar
box. The dimensions enable her to
carry more than a dozen collars
without crushing.

MurreII Shows His Hand.


At length points of light began to
show through chinks in the logs. Han
nibal reused and sat up, rubbing his
eyes with the backs of his hands.
Wasn't you able to sleep none?" he
inquired. Betty shook her head. He
looked at her with an expression OF
troubled concern. How soon do you
reckon the judge will known" he
asked.
Very soon now, dear" Hannibal
was greatly consoled by this opinion.
Miss Betty, he will love to find
us"
"Hark! What was that?" for Betty
had caught the distant splash of oars
Hannibal found a chink in the logs
through which by dint of much squint-
ing he secured a partial view of the
bayou.
They're fetching up keel boat to
the shore, Miss Betty-it's a whoop-
er!" he announced Betty's heart
sank; she never doubted the purpose
for which that boat was brought into
the bayou, or that it nearly concerned
herself.
Half an hour later Mrs Hicks APP
peared with their breakfast 1t was
IN vain that Betty attempted to en-
gage her in conversation. Either she
cherished some personal feeling OF
dislike for her prisoner, or else the
situation In which she herself was
placed had little to recommend it,
even to her dull mind, and her dis
satisfaction was expressed in her at
titude toward the girl.
Betty passed the long hours OF
morning in dreary speculation con-
corning what was happening at Belle
Plain. In the end she realized that
the day could go by and her absence
occasion no alarm. Steve might rea-
sonably suppose George had driven
her into Raleigh or to the Bowens'
and that she had kept the carriage.
Finally all her hope conferred on Judge
Price. He would expect Hannibal dur

boy did not arrive be would be tempt

RnnIn WIN a New Hat.

"a new hat 1 must have" says the
average woman each season, and a
new hat she does have, even If she
has to go without some of the neces-
stiles to get it. Now this may seem
foolish to some, but in reality it is
very wise. With becoming hat
fresh and up-to-date, even though 1t
is accompanied by an old suit, provid-
ed it is neat and trim, woman passes
as stylish and we'll dressed. Let her
appear, on the other hand, in a new
suit, with an old hat, detected and
hopelessly out Of fashion, and she is

WARDROBE NEEDS MUCH CARE
Amply Repaid, However, on the Score
of Economy, as Well as Having
Proper Appearance.

People are not all naturally neat
and tidy, but often "a word to the
wise is sufficient" If a dress is taken
off and thrown to the floor, perhaps in
damp state, or even hung up undried,
when next wanted for wear it will be
found crushed and draggled; whereas,
if care is taken to shape it well, place
it on a hanger and hang it where the
air has a chance to dry it, the garment
will appear fresh and neat when
wanted again. The wardrobe of an
untdy, careless girl or woman will
cost her twice the amount of her more
tidy neighbor, and she will never look
so fresh and trim
Hats often suffer most. A hat
comes bright and new from the MILL
ner's, is worn day after day, tossed on
a bed or chair when taken off and left
for all dust and dirt to adhere TO 1t.
After a months wear it is hardly fit to
be seen. The girl who keeps her new
hat for clear days, brushes it careful
ly, arranges the bows or flowers, then
puts it away in box or covers it with
paper, finds it pretty hat as long as
she requires it. "a stitch in time
saves nine" is a very true saying re-
garding all clothes. A garment is sent
to the laundry with a small hole, re-
turns with a far larger one, and at
last is Thrown aside only fit for the
rag bag. If the same garment had
been mended in time it would have
lasted months.
Stockings should have special no
tice. All thin places should be neatly
darned before they become holes.
A veil rolled each time it is taken
off will keep neat much longer than
when folded; gloves pulled out and
smoothed will wear twice as long as
if they were crushed and tossed into
a drawer.
Dresses should be folded right side
out and covered with paper or an old
sheet. Keep all drawers, chests and
wardrobes neat and clean and all arti-
cles carefully sorted, not all mixed up
in state of confusion. Be neat and
you will be amply repaid for the little
trouble it causes you.

The Dolly Warden Gown.

Each of the French couturiers has
brought out Dolly Warden Powered
gown and, though differing in particu'
lars, all these gowns are alike in one
respect-the pannier. A Dolly Warden
costume without a pannier would be
like Hamlet with Hamlet left out, or
something equally as disappointing;
and, indeed, the pannier, quite as
much as the lowered material, makes
the costume worthy Of its name. Pom
padour silks and Powered taffetas in
new and charming patterns have ap'
peared like magic in the shops to
make these Dolly Warden gowns, and
as a quantity of the silk is required
for the draped panniers, the folk who
have been crying out against the small
amount Of material necessary nova
days should cheer up.

most masculine surliness OF tone. Il

into the attic, and, closing the door,
fastened it with a stout wooden bar.
Beyond that door, which seemed to
have closed on every hope, Betty held
the tallow dip aloft, and by its uncer-
tain and Pickering light surveyed her
prison. The briefest glance sufiiced.
The room contained two shake-down
beds and a stool, there was window
in the gable. but a piece OF heavy
plank was spiked before it.
Miss Betty, don't you be scared"
whispered Hannibal. when the judge
hears we're gone, him and Mr. Ma
haffy will try to find us. They'll go
right off to Belle Plain-the Judge is
always wanting to do that, only Mr..

"Oh, Hannibal, Hannibal, what can
he do there-what can any one do
there?" And dead pallor over
spread the girls face. To speak OF
the blind cropping of her friends but
served to fix the horror of their stu
alton in her mind.
81 don't know, Miss Betty, but the
Judge is always thinking OF things to
do; seems like they was mostly things

Betty had placed the candle on the
stool and seated herself on one OF the
beds. There was the murmur of
voices in the room below; she won

ton and what that fate was to be.
Hannibal who had been examining
the window, returned to her side.

out of this loft we could steal their

the only way they could get to us
would be to swim out, and If they

of his failed to interest Betty.

He conducted his captives up the
bank and they entered a clearing.
Looking across this Betty saw where
a cabin window framed a single
square of light. They advanced to-
ward this and presently the dark out
line of the cabinet itself became dis
tinguishable. A moment later Slos-
son paused, a door yielded to his
hand, and Betty and the boy were
thrust into the room where Murrell
had held his conference with Fentress
and Ware. The two women were now
its only occupants, and the mother,
gross and shapeless, turned an ex-
pressionless face on the intruders;
but the daughter shrank into the
shadow, her burning glance fixed on
Betty.

Mr.. Slesson. Mrs. Hicks rose from
the three-legged stool on which she
was sitting.
