Instantly there was noisy demon

applause, which quickly spent ITSELF
The struggle seemed to have mar
rowed to an individual contest for
supremacy between Fentress and the
Judge. On the edge of the railed-ofr

For a matron a black and white
princess robe IS made in narrow
stripes of equal size and arranged
with lengthwise and horizontal panels
alternating with suggestion of a lad
der and its rungs.
The notable feature Of this robe Is
its revers, the corsage having short
outer Iapels with lace inset between
them. while revers from narrow
point on the shoulder came down to
meet at the waist and were continued
in ten-inch wide ladder-like lines to
the hem of the garment. This gown
was carried out in black and white
narqufsette, with Venetian lace for
trimming.

Velvet Cake.

Beat the yolks of three eggs and
whites of two in separate bowls, add
one-half cup of sugar to each, beat
again, add whites to yolks, beat again,
then add one round cup of sifted flour,

of cream of tartar and one-half tea
spoon of soda, little salt and one
teaspoon of vanilla. Stir until smooth,
add slowly one tablespoon less than
one-half cup of boiling water, stir in
lust little at a time. This sounds
difficult, but is very easy to make.

this result; that when the judge took
occasion to call at the tavern. ard the
hostile nature OF his visit was en-
phasized by the cautious manner Of
his approach, he was greatly shocked
to discover that his intended victim
had sold his business overnight for g
small lump sum to Mr.. Saurs brother
in-law, who had appeared most op-
portunely with an offer.
Pesloe's flight created something OF
a sensation, but it was dWarfed by
the sensation that developed day or
so later when 1t became known that
Tom Ware and Colonel Fentress had
likewise fed the country. Still later,
FentresS' body, showing marks OF vlo-
lence, was washed ashore at wood
yard below GiraTd. 1t was conjec-
tured that he and Ware had set out
from The Oaks to cross the river;
there was reason to believe that Fen
tress had in his possession at the
time a considerable sum Of money,
and 1t was supposed that his COM
panion had murdered and robbed him.
Of Wares subsequent career nothing
was ever Known.
These were, after all, only episodes
in the collapse of the Clan, sporitic
| manifestations Of the great work OF
disintegration that was going forward
| and which the judge, more than any
other, perhaps, had brought about.
This was something no one ques-
| toned, and he quickly passed to the
| first phase of that unique and peculiar
| esteem in which he was ever after
| held. His fame widened with the sue

which impressed him as so entirely
| creditable to human nature that he
| quite lacked the heart to refuse them,
| especially as he felt that in the i'm
