CHAPTER IT.
le Woman and the Car.

E~ EO1d the Slr1 ana the nun 1ooA- 1RI ed up and saw in the road yHk motorcar with a chauffeur and - "a woman stepping out from it. For the briefest space the two women measured glances Lady Diana saw a tall, rather dark and foreign appearing young woman of an uncertain age, whose black hair and sharp features gave her, in the estimation of any one seeing her for the first time. certain aspect of power
 A moment later she was walking toward them.
 The artist was not pleased at this in- trusion, and Diana saw that upon his face was that tragic mask she had noted when they saw one another for the first time, not so many minutes ago.
 ''So this is where you come to sketch so often," went on the woman from the motorcar. Delightful place! Pray, introduce me"
 The artist 1nterposed himself be- tween the two women, almost as though he feared harm to the younger of the twos
 'I'm only stranger here'', he said while Lady Diana, with perfect and cold breeding, ignored a situation that to one of another nationality might have been a trifie embarrassing.
 The intruder again swept Lady Di- ana with her eyes.
 ''Indeed,'' she said, a subtle menace in her tones Well, it's lucky Hound you If we are going for our usual spin together Francois wants to tell you something about the car-the brake doesn't act properly" -s4T- | scrutiny of the other woman She was too young to have esteemed the other fast, but there was a certain some thing about the tall and dark intruder that repelled this young EngIishwo- man So she continued, though the i other talked at her, to sSeclude herself in her British reserve
 The situation appeared to the artist to need relieving very much. So to create diversion he walked toward the road where the car and chauffeur were waiting.
 'eWe'I take it down to the village
 and look for a blacksmith,'' he volun l teered.
 But the woman who had come fo1 him in the motor didn't move. She 1 was still in hope that Lady Diana
 would recognize her existence. Cant it be done here?' she asked

 woman and anxious for some offer o1 aid that would enable her to make Lady Diana's acquaintance. Certainly not" returned the artist
 almost roughly, land, besides, here are
 the horses. The car may frighten then
 if we leave it in this neighborhood." 1 The woman of the motorcar looked 1 down the road and saw the Beverley | string being led and ridden from the exercising on the Downs. Dear things" she said for Lady Di
 ana's benefit '.How splendid they

''I wonder who he is,'' she said, land what hold she has on him.
 But thoughts of the two were out of the mind of Lady Diana before she had formulated any conscious conclu- sions, for the whole string of her grandfather was now led into the yard of the stables or ridden by the boys Though Tom, Lambert, the trainer of the stables, was nominally in charge of all of the horses he paid no attention to any save the nervous, skittish creature covered with her horse clothing and wearing Over it all a horse rug. Lambert in person was leading her.
 The girl made some remark to the middle aged trainer, who had been a boy in the Beverley stables, and he answered as to the condition of the pride of the Fa1conhurst stables:
 'sThe filter she gets the worse she gets, and when she fairly cops the nee dle believe she'd charge a battery and try to eat the guns
 Though the racer was dancing about in a semicircle, held by Lambert at the head and Harry Anson, her Jockey, in the saddle, Lady Diana went to the rescue, resenting any slur upon the reputation of her pet.
 She's a dear, isn't she?'' she ex- claimed to the jockey.
 With you, my lady," he answered t'and she's all right with me. But a stranger would have a better time try ing to tackle a tiger.''
 The nervous, prancing horse was put in the stables and Tom Lambert, her trainer, turned to his young mistress.
 t'The marquis won't let me try her out, my lady, he said, "but I believe The Whips about the finest Ally as ever looked through a bridle. But the very nobIest ship is no good without the man at the wheel"
 "Surely Harry's good enough said Lady Diana
 When he's himself, my lady, but just now at times he's a hangdog, mournful sort of beggar, with no spir- it's and no nerve. Whatever he's got on his mind I don't want it on The Whips back. Light heart makes light weight, but a bally boy with the blues thinks he's riding a hearse horse. But wouldn't speak to your grandfather if were you just now, my lady, he's I so irritable about the stable secrets leaking out, and he sees a tout in every pdSSSTDy. we huSLn l. worry u1A more I'll find out what's the matter with Harry
 The Marquis of Beverley, with the Hon, Mrs. Beamish, the middle aged distant cousin of Lady Diana, and hel companion, rode into the yard, and the marquis, who had seen the artist an6 his companion in the motorcar, was quite sure that the artist was a tout. Lady Diana told him of her. encoun ter with the artist and that he haC been sketching in the yard.
 'EWell, I won't have it."5he exc1aim ed- Give orders, Tom. For all w know the fellows a tout-confoundet tout of the worst possible description!' 7 CTo be COntinued-)

 Can you manage to hold her?'' sshe asked The stranger, taking the hound, seat ed himself on the corner of the stone bridge that spanned a little stream and was a link in the highway that ran by the stables

 ''Do you exhibit q'' she asked, turning upon him for a second an oblique look. then another upon the drawing. 'sVery Ihttle,'' he said, with marked hesitation

 She made him little bow, with something not hostile in it, and began quickly to turn the pages of the book. ''Oh, you paint landscapes, too,'' she said, "and they're very good too!

 And because lot of yoke1s give a man an odious nickname, he said tersely, ''yOu judge him unheard. What do you know of him?''
 Nothing, thanks said Lady Diana. Isn't it a bit rough on him to be- deve-on mere hearsay?'' asked the artist.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
SHADES AND COLORs IN TRIMMING.
BY BLANCHE REACON

Here is the article on shades and colors.
 am going to correct a former state ment slightly, when I say that either a good deal of trimming is permissi- ble, or else a very little. Extremes are in vogue-but remember, extremes must be appropriate extremes.
 I had quite talk with Paul Poiret, who is supposed to be a great dress color artist, when he was here. (Note. I say tsupposed'' because, ex- cept in rare example, I think our own American designers can best him at his own game any timeD
 But Poiret did have good ideas on color. For tnstance-remember, I am giving Poiret's views now-he loaths what we call the pastel shades Soft colors have no place in his list of possibles. He uses only decided tones of decided colors. His greens are real greensEhis reds decidedly red! But he used them ski1lfu1Iy that any bizarre effect they generally have only strengthens the ensemble of the dress. He will take bit of cloth that is a wild mass of violent colors, and make a narrow piping to edge garment at unexpected places. Per haps, thus used, this bit of piping will be the only trimmings. Or else, he will take this same violent mixture of shades and twist it into a sash, which he will place in a prominent position on the dress or coat. Thus, by it's very decidedness, it compeIs attention-and sometimes, admira- tion!
 Ingenuously used, I like strong col ors. But I do think that nothing can ever quite take the place of the Osft
 pastel shades. Poiret or no Poiret, they have fascination about them
 that can never be replaced by strong

What the world says is often mall iee,'' he said, going to the rescue of Lord Brancaster, "but I'm sorry to hear what Lord Beverley said. No body's all bad. Perhaps it's because Lord Beverley doesn't know him that he thinks so i'll of him. Perhaps if you knew him you might find-some little good"-
 "I'm sure hope so,'' said Lady Di- ana
 But the stranger continued:
 'T'm sure he'd hope so. If he has played havoc with his life mayn't he repent his folly? Perhaps in a sense he never had chance perhaps he never had a father or mother in his youth to direct him-and perhaps he'll turn out all right now. Perhaps no good woman''-

Passes Away.

On Thursday morning at 6:l5 clock,
December 18th, 1913, Frederick Henry
Norman died at his home in this city
on Forest street. For many years.
Mr.. Norman had not been we'll and at
times his condition was such as to
cause alarm to his family. For a
month past death has lowered con-
stantly near him and several times it
was thought that he could not sur.
viye through the day. A paralytic
stroke in September hastened the
end.
Mr.. Norman was we'll known, not

Milwaukee,, and later in Cedarburg,
Wis. When young man he came
up 10 Knowlton, in this county, and
secured employment from Andrew
Warren in the lumber business and
until 1861 was engaged in operating
saw mills, teaming and driving stage
between Stevens Point and Wausau,
He then engaged in clerking, and
went into the hardware business.
He was in the employ of r. f. Parch-
er for many years, in his general mer-
camille store and for time was trans
ferred To Merrnl ana operated a Sto. e
there for Mr.. Parcher. Heafterwards
purchased the drug department of
the Parcher store and later added
groceries to his stock. He continued
in this business until about ID years
ago, when he retired.
He was united in marriage on the
4th day of July, 1863, TO Lucy Blair
who survives him. To them have
been born nine children, seven of
whom are living, viz: Florence, Fred,
Mabel, Iaez, Ella, Frank and Clytus,
all of whom reside in Wausau. He
also leaves one brother, Henry Nor
man, of Berlin, Green Lake county,

TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

Thirty years ago party spirit was 50
strong that the newspapers were ab-
|solutely controlled by the party or
ganizatiOn and newspaper forfeited
the respect of its readers if it showed
the least evidence of disloyalty to its
political workers and to be repub-
lican or a democrat was the first
essential in every newspaper enter
prise. That editor who thinks that
way today belongs TO very limited
class. The Oshkosh Northwestern,
The Madison State Journal and the
Appleton Post once the most partisan
of newspapers, today are the most in
dependent in their utterance. Only a
few days ago the Appleton Post came
out and advocated the election of a
democratic state ticket. A state
ment of that kind coming from so
eminent a republican newspaper
would have created a sensation thirty
years ago and the newspaper ,lttering
such sentiments would have lost most
of its subscribers. Today the major
| ity of the Posts subscribers were no
doubt pleased with the independence
of the PoSt.-Chippewa Times.
