Johns preaching is here reported.

were apt to exercise violence and ex-

the right word, and we can infer from
this report that each and all of his

This 10 Because the Fiehu Holds Its
Popularity.
Some Of the late winter frocks indi-
cate what the fashion makers new de-
signs, which will appear next month,
will be like. Ruches and frills multi
ply.
No one seems to be wearying of the
fchu, and such gowns often have the
shoulders draped with the chiffon,
which may be caught at the front with
q flower or ornament or else the dra-
perry brought down the front in some
crossoyer arrangement. Some such
dance gowns have chiffon ruches
around the fichus, and the bottoms of
the skirts and such ruchings are some
times used in festoons to trim the
skirt. These ruches look much like
gathered founces- If a ruche of lace
is used, as is often the case, the fichu
or bertha Is of the same lace.
There is something about the f1chu
which calls for ruches and frills, and,
with the great liking for taffeta, there
are many picturesque toilets at every
dance party. With all these details
of the styles the sash tied at the back
or looped or knotted at front or sides
Is one of the natural accomplishments.

shaft and improvised a steering rudder.
The body work afforded him leverage,
and Dick laughed as the sleigh began
to gain speed.
For the first half mile the road was
straight, and little steering was neces-
sary. Then ahead doomed the turn, and
Dicks face turned grave as he dug the
shaft into the road.
Slowly the sleigh responded to the
pressure, and in another instant they
had swung around the curve as neatly
as a champion coaster on his low
pointer, and they were again on the
straight and headed for the station.
Hank Carew had just backed his en-
CINE down from the house, and a white
plume of steam rose from the dome as
the engineer waited for the minute
hand of the clock to touch the bottom
of the dial.
The runaways were still a quarter of
a mile from the station when the cut
ter slowed up, but they had gained
more than minute in their swift de-
scent, and they did not have to run.
AS they came up to the station plat
form the little knots of loungers gath
cred about them. Rapidly Dick ex-
planned the reason for the coast, and
the listeners cheered as they heard the
tale. For years they had grumbled at
the way Waring treated Joyce, and
they were glad that at last she was to
be released from her fathers hard
reign.
Here comes your dad now" piped a
shrill voice. And with one accord they
turned to see the familiar Waring team
tearing over the brow of the hill.
Carew glanced at the steam gauge
and the clock. Then he leaned out of
the window.

WOMAN'S GROWING GLORY.
A Word Regarding the Art of Hair
dressing and Ornaments.

Milady may suit her personal fancy
as to the decoration of the couture
and not offend fashion. Her toilet may
be elaborate and her hair simply dress
ed, or she may put on Jeweled bands,
aigrets or caps of numerous varie-
ties. The crushed band of ribbon,
with jeweled or metallic edges, has
been popular.
Those who like the fringe idea say
it has a softening influence upon the
brow and accentuates the good points
of ones eyes.
To wear the hair low upon the brow
part it lightly at one side and draw a
softly waved section across the fore
head. Then proceed to draw the hair
loosely to the crown of the head, plas-
tering it around In keeping with the
contour of the Uranium or building up
some not overpretentious structure of
soft coils and puffs with tiny curls,
softening any unbecoming outline.
Poise the puffs becomingly.

Secure a box four or five feet long
and one to two feet across, open at
both ends. Put a sliding partition in
the center and place it, covered with a
dark cloth, on a table in a room adjoin-
ing the one where the company is as
sembled- Admit a boy and girl to this
room, which is the menagerie.
The keeper asks them what animal
they wish to see first. They are then
placed at the opposite ends of the box
and told to look within For a second
they see nothing; then the partition is
suddenly drawn out, and they gaze at
one another.

He gave Joyce the shaft to hold and

he had it started.

LEAVING BEFORE TRAIN TIME

DO you think King can keep this
pace all the way to town." asked
Joyce anxiously.
Dick Torrington's chin squared itself
as he looked at the sturdy black flying
over the hard packed snow
If King doesn't keep going" he
said, with an uneasy laugh, you'll
keep on being Joyce Waring and not
Joyce Torrington. I've timed it so as
to just make the train If we miss
that, your father will be after us in no
time at ALL
Joyce shivered at the suggestion.
For years she had lived in dread of
the stern old man who since his wife's
death had looked on life with hatred
When Joyce had come, her gentle
mother had slowly faded away, and
Hiram Waring, blaming the innocent
child for the death Of the woman he
loved so passionately, had never shown
her the affection that was her heritage
AS child her innocent transgres-
sions were punished with an unjust Sc

closely than ever.
But Dick Torrington was not of the

loved, and the elopement was the re-

branch line on which the single train
made two trips daily each way. Hank
Carew took a pride in the punctuality
with which the road was run, and it
was certain that the morning train
would leave exactly at half past 9.
By planning the elopement so as to
reach the station just as the train
started Dick was assured that there
could be no successful pursuit. King
could cover the ground faster than
Warnings double team, even should the
latter be already hitched.
The start of the elopement had been
successfully accomplished, and now
King was flying over the road toward
the town, while Hiram Waring still
puttered about the barn in blfssful
ignorance. Presently, however, he
would come into the house, and then
perhaps he would realize what was up.
Meanwhile they would have made the
train, and presently they would be
across the state line, where licenses
were not necessary. The laws of their
own state required residence before a
license could be issued, and as town
clerk Joyce's father was charged with
the issuance of licenses.
All would have gone well If small
boy had not thrown a SNOWFALL at
Dick. The well packed ball of snow
missed the driver, but struck King a
smart blow in the ribs. The high spir-
tied horse was unused to such treat
ment and bolted down the road with
Dick frantically saving at the reins.

steep descent OF nearly a mile, with
one ugly turn. If King should bolt
down the Hill there was little chance
that Dick would be able to guide him

To Get Rid of Ants.

To drive away red ants scour the
cupboards or their haunts out thor
oughly with hot water and ammonia
and place upon the shelves or near
the spot frequented by ants a few
sprigs of ground ivy. A little worm
wood will generally scare away black
ants. The ammonia is more effective
for the red.
