A HELD-UP HOLD-UP

with steel tool, while Winchester rifle lay
close at hand
Drawn up in line in front of the stage were
its passengers, two men and two women, all
with their hands raised high in air and abject
terror marking their faces; and guarding
them, with his rifle poised against his right
hip for instant use, sat second masked man
on horseback, holding with his left hand the
brides of his own horse and his associates.
One glance was enough to identify the whole
outfit for Dorsey,-the stout bandit, the
short bandit, the gentlemen in checks and
eyeglasses and the strongly accumulated
ladies.
A quick deploy enabled the two young
men to rush simultaneously upon the scene
from its opposite extremities.
Hands up, you blackguards!' shouted
Dorsey, covering the stout robber with his
rifle, while Kendrick took care Of the other

stunned too, and ceased his clamor; but the
women made up for it by shrieking both at
once, more shrilly than ever, while one went
off into something like Mysteries. The only
verbal response came from the stout bandit:

He became suddenly mindful of the pro-
prieties and cut his sentence short.

kneeling to an upright position without the

Meanwhile, Kendrick had made the other
fellow slide out of his saddle, palms and
fingers still pointing zenithward.

the mistake was. Silence!' he roared, half
turning his head toward the passengers, who
had begun to call out something he did not
catch. He felt competent to handle the sit
uation himself without their assistance.
Then resuming his former attitude, but for
getting for the moment just what point his
denunciation had reached when interrupted,
he addressed his prisoner again:
IF you have anything to say that is better
worth hearing, you may say it; but beware
how you waste my tlme!

enough to let his captive turn SO as to face

cession: what might not desperate, in this
perilous plight, resort to?
NO. said he, well stay where we are

From behind the black object crawled a

DRESSMAKER
MAKING or LINGERIE.

MAKING OF LINGERIE.
One of the most fascinating
branches of needlework Is the
making of lingerie. AS a rule the
materials are, all of them, easy
to work with and seem especially
adapted to hand sewing. The
work is dainty and usually very
pretty. 1t can be taken up at al
most any time and worked upon
as long as you like. There is lit
tie difficulty in securing good pat
terms, which will probably be
stamped for embroidering as
we'll.
The lingerie outfit should in
clude perhaps six or eight pieces;
not forgetting a combination gar
ment, separate chemises and
drawers, night dresses and petit
coats. Such an outfit is most
handy whether the one for whom
it is designed is a bride-elect and
wishes it for her trousseau or
whether she is just a home girl
who likes wearing dainty under
garments. Cambria may be pur-
chased all the way from 10 or IL
cents a yard up to rs. The quail
ity will depend a good deal on the
individual taste and purse.
Don't make the mistake of not
using care because the garment is
to be worn beneath the dress. All
lingerie should be carefully cut.
traced, scanned and fitted. 1t fs
almost waste of time to sew
very long seams by hand. But the
finest, of course, is hand work.
Probably the incest, smoothest
finish is the fell, which should be
done in fine hemming stitch.
When insertion or medallions are
used, they are first basted on in
the desired position. Then they
are hemmed, nearly, down. After
wards the good is cut out from
beneath them, usually leaving a
good eighth of an inch margin.
which is rolled back and hemmed
down or turned back and over
handed in tiny stitches, just COW
ering the edges of the fold.
Fine nainsook headings are de-
sirable to join ruffles to the gar
ment or to set in the sleeves or
to put seams together. These bead
ings should be from one-quarter
to one-half inch in width. A
novice will do well to try setting
on a medallion, using an old one,
upon a trial piece of cloth first.
1t is never wise to make a first
attempt on a new piece of goods.
Embroidered scallops and some
edges of the garments and some
delicate conventional or floral de-
sign make the most attractive
trimming.

The food should be prepared

perfectly clean. See that all bot
ties are washed each time imme-

they should be boiled at least
five minutes.

CORRECT HAIR DRESSING

Every attractive face needs
finishing touch to the hair for
best effects. But these finishing
touches cannot be given unless
the hair is in proper condition.
The first requisite for the proper
lightness and lustre needed is
cleanliness-of both scalp and
hair. Wash the hair and head
about every three weeks with
Seafroth. You will find this
natural tonic and cleanser that
will make your scalp clean and
healthy. After using Seafroth a
fresh, healthy odor remains and
every strand of hair feels clean,
firm and soft, and drops lightly
into Just the place you want it.
Just what you want for the last
finishing touch. Get 1t from
your druggist. 1t is correctly
prepared by expert chemists and
comes in SOC packages. Remem-

A SAILORS DAUGHTER
SPEAKS

Dear Miss Grey: 1 have
always read your letters with
interest, especially those
which have appeared lately
from sailors, seeking your
advice because nobody wants
a sailor; or from young girls
wondering IL they should as
sociate with some certain
young man because he is q
sailor.
think their minds have
been poisoned against all be-
cause they know Of one who
did not live up to the stand
ard Of what a man should be,
consequently whenever q
sailor is mentioned they will
stick up their nose-please
excuse the expression, but it
is the truth--gather up their
skirts, or tighten their coats,
and step aside for fear one of
these awful beings (?) will
appear.
They seem to consider a
sailor a sort of necessary evil
for when it comes to an ex-
cursi0n by boat sailors are
pretty handy.
All men should not be
judged by the sins of his
brother. III some of these
sailor haters would get to
work and see to it that our
cities were made clean and
kept clean and would furnish
good, wholesome places Of
amusement for those who en-
danger their lives in order
that we may be kept in touch
with every possible corner of
this great world, they would
soon discover that sailors
who are what they call bad
are lonely, having no homes.
My friends are among the
sailors, and mo- man 1 have
met can outdo the sailor for
good manners and neatness.
My father knows what they
want, so he has brought them
home with him, and mother,
and daddy, and my sisters
have tried to make their Wis.,
