Silk Shirt Waists.

Silk Shirt Waists.
A most unusual and good looking
cravat for wear with wash silk shirt
waists made in mannish styles Is Of
black satin. There is n fiat bow of the
satin and one long end of the satin
made double and widening out toward
the bottom.
This end is about eight inches long
and is one and q half inches wide at
the top and two and three-Quarter
inches wide at the bottom. Six round
silver or gold buttons are placed at
half inch intervals at the lower end.
On some of these ties a piece Of
rather heavy cream nllet lace is folded
nat around the satin end about an
inch and half from the bottom, and
the buttons are sewed in 4 row on the
lace.
Another black satin tie has a square
bow laid in fat plaits and one long
end of the double satin with a little
ecru valenciennes frilled on each side
for about four inches Of its length up
from the lower end. The effect II very
quaint.

TWO young men on board un-
der widely different circumstances.
One was crouching on the second step
of Pullman, forward. with his eyes
fixed arimly upon the door through
which the conductor would pass on his
round of ticket collecting. The other
was in the observation car at the rear
OF the train. two seats from the end,
staring at an open letter with eyes
widened I'm despair. horror and des-
peration.
This train made few stops. but at
the first station. in obedience to sig
nal from the bell cord. 1t slowed
down sufficiently for the conductor and
brakeman To thrust the man from the
second step of the Pullman: then ii
shot ahead at full speed To make up
the few seconds lost. The tramp re
mained standing where he had drop
ped, his face now keen and alert. and
his right arm upraised As it swept by
the train brushed his clothing and the
wind of It stirred his rough, unkempt
hair and beard. Three ears passed,
then came the observation car. Sud
denly his hand closed like wise upon
the rear railing. his body swung out
and writhed for Il few moments In
mdair then his feet caught. and he
drew himself In by sheer force of mus
Gle and nerve to the same crouching
position he had occupied on the Pull
man forward
Inside the car the other man was
now tearing the letter into the most
| minute fragments. rs If striving to an
| initiate its contents. When the pieces
were too small for further reduction
| they swept through the open window
and We're scattered thinly over half Il
] mile of rOadbed. The man rose and
glanced about the car Ii was almost
empty. and the other passengers We're
buried in papers or books. He turned
back quickly. opened the door. and
with light spring threw himself from
| the train, but not to the ground! Just
as he sprang. the tramp flung himself
out suddenly. with nothing bu, his left
hand grasping the rail. AS the two
bodies came together the tramp'S right
arm closed like steel band around
| the other. while the weight of it bore
them down. down, until their legs al
most swept the mocking rails of the
roadbed.
Not many men-not one in a thou

weight in such a position. swinging

but gradually. little by little. the left
arm contracted and drew them up. up
and in until finally, with II last desper-
ate effort, they We're both crouchng
upon the rear platform, white. gasping,
too exhausted to stand or speak
The well dressed man recovered first.
The horror was still in his eyes, but
with it was something more. Perhaps
that instant in mdair, with death in
front, had made him see more clearly;
perhaps his miraculous rescue had
made possible the greater rescue from
| himself As he rose staggeringly the
tramp's arm went out in feeble protest,

of gold, silver, and copper-bronze
raised in the form of q pagoda. A vase
of bronze filled with lotus flowers and

cense burner of the same metal, all
stand on table of stone in front of

Scarcely inferior to this sublime

This is reached by an avenue turning
from the approach to the other. In

grotesque carvings, temples to the

logical gods and goddesses, among
