CHAPTER XxxlII.
On the Sands,

A man, bearing in his arms the mo-
tionless form of a woman, paused later
that night in the shadow Of a low
stone hovel, near the lower gate of
the Mount. As he crouched beneath
the thatch projecting like the rim Of
an old hat above him his eyes, eager,
fierce, studied the distance he had yet
to traverse from the end Of the mar
row alley, where he had stopped, to
the open entrance at the base of the
rock to the sands. The goal was not
far; but a few moments would have
sufflced to reach It: only between him
and the point he had so long been
striving to attain, an obstacle, or group

The Modern Ways Of
The Creature Feminine.

Within a quarter Of a century there
have been many changes in the ways
of women, whether for the better or
not, there seems to be some diversity
of opinion.
Twenty i've years ago there were
few, II any. women who would stand
up before vast assemblage and adj
vocate woman's suffrage. Now there
are thousands who will do so.
Twenty I'VE years ago there were
few ladies TO be found occupying pub
lie positions, outside of school teach
Ing 1t was q rare thing to find one In
an Office or engaged in business. Now
they freely compete with men in many
avenues OF endeavor.
Twenty-Five years ago, the slit skirt
would have been considered an abom-
nation. and It is doubtful If a woman
could have been found who would have
worn one even in the presence of her
nearest male relatives.
That some OF these changes. at least,
have been for the better can hardly be
denied.
The style OF dress of quarter of a
century ago would look quite odd now
and would probably create SIS much
comment as the hobbies and slit skirts
of more modern times.
AS rule the women can be trusted
TO wear Just the kind Of dresses that
suit them or are fashionable and the
objection of mere man is scorned. The
present style of dress is not bad.
The truth is that there has never
been a style that has shown women
to better advantage. and 1t doesn't
take as much cloth to make dresses as
it formerly did That ought to con-
