 Miss La Tossa never moved; and Holton, his mind working like light ming, did not attempt to put her aside. "Out of the way repeated the Spaniard. with a sort of missing of the breath. "Out of the way. or, by God! I'll shoot through you"
 There was the crash of an opening door.
 Whats this-this noise and shout ing?" came deep voice.
 Hiolton, watching his enemy like hawk, saw the revolver, barrel defect cd from him, the mans head turned in the direction whence the voice had come. Springing backward and side wise like a deer, Holton shot across the room.
 There was a loud report-a bsllet singel his hair. The next instant he had leape@ through the window, glass fnd all, and was on the porch. From here, as two bullets sped after him, he lnaped down upon the back of a horse hat was being held by a soldier. Striking the animal with the butt of his revolver, he went careering off through the darkness like rocket.
 From the men on the drive, from men on the porch, came a rain of bull let's; and Holton, who had learned rick or two ir1 the way of horseman- ,hip, slipped down along the animals body, shielding hil.,self almost com pletely. But the horse was exposed. and a whining bullet pierced the steed to the heart He suddenly plunged for ward, throwing Holton to the ground. then rolled over and was still.
 Holton landed on his knees, and, d. though jared, was not stunned. He scrambled along desperately. regain ing his feet. and struck out for the woods. about a hundred feet away
 He toiled on for two hours, distanc- ing all sounds of pursuit, and then flung himself on the wet ground like a tired animal and fell at once into a deep sleep. When he awoke the sun |
 was shining through the trees
 But it was not this that had reused him. It was the roaring of field ord nance and the racketing of small arms Evidently they were at it again. His one thought was that this was the 2nd of July. and that on the morrow the Spanish warships meant to dash out of the harbor and attempt an escape
 His feet must be warned. That was what he was there for, and this, from now on, must be the single aim Of his life, the one thought in his mind the supreme struggle of his body.
 By constant concentration upon th' object Of his mission, he brought his mental condition into sort of hys eria. The heat. too. had got into hi rain As he stumble q over a log h, would s3b or c3tse. and once, whel Q tripped and was thrown Hat, he la. or second, weeping like a child.

 You need spare your grief was he reioinder. When l so informed you believed my orders had been car ried out. But, as it appears, he es- caped."

 "Spiee must assume such preroga ives occasionally" WAS the quiet re ply. "This young man Eolton was in

 Holton's eyes fairly glared through the darkness. and yet. despite his an ger, he was pleased 10 know that the murderous order was the work of a renegade and that it had not the sane ton of authority.

a plan to have woman on the

once woman gets on the school
board it won't be long before the

how gravely this menaces the pub

tragedy of having woman, one
who naturally does nothing at all

and bring them up, except of course
TO teach them in school and out,
having anything to do with school

PROCLAMATION

After the mild winter which nature has
bestowed on Mother Earth we can well
appreciate the impatience of the various
trees and shrubs to burst forth their buds
and blossoms. The tinge of Spring
which has been in the air for some weeks
will soon cause these buds and blossoms
to awaken from their winter s nap and
with their awakening will come the song
of the birds moving North as harbingers
of Spring.
In order that the people of this State
may fully appreciate the benefits to be
derived from these forerunners of Spring.
and the attention which should be given
to their care and protection. |, Charles X.

Fascinating Color.

Plated white maline make up into a collar that is positively fascinating
 Incidentally, it is wondrous becoming. First you take a six-inch-wide strip of white tulle and knife" it into plaits of infinitesimal depth. When you have a length long enough to set smoothly in plaits-about the shoulders. you attach one side of 1t to the lower edge of band of folded satin or velvet and upon the upper edge of that band. you put an inch and one-half broad plait- ing of maline. Finally. you join the ends of the neck-band under a bow of velvet or satin. This neckpiece is love ly in black tulle over white tulle. in all black or white or in white with black collar band. And it goes charm ingly with any sort of simple little frock which has not . stock collar.

EASY TO FRESHEN UP SUIT
Touches of Trimming With the Re quisite Cleaning, Will Make It
 as Good as New.

Perhaps you have a perfectly good suit that was fresh from the tailor hands last season and which you will want to wear now. provided it can be freshened a bit and altered to conform to the mode of the present Naturally, you will want this change made with as little expense as pos- sible, for 1t is not, after all. last years costume?
 At a glance you see that the coat is too short, the skirt too narrow and the collar and cuffs quite differ ent from the newest patterns, and the question at once arises, How can 1t be remodeled?"
 The coat, requiring the most atten- tion, we will attend to first.
 Taffeta silk. or one of the many fancy linen braids, and new buttons will be all the trimming required. A new collar, either of the shawl or sailor variety. will do much to bring the coat up to date. The addition of 2 broad band around the bottom will give the required length.
  or six inches wide can easily be made into a square sailor collar and brought in a broad band over the shoulders and from there down the front of the coat. Cuffs of braid finish the coat trimming.
 If braid is used on the coat carry out this effect on the skirt by opening the side seam half way from hem to waist line, and over this stitch the wide braid, allowing it to con- tinue to the waist over the skirt.
 With a band of braid around the bottom of the skirt this makes an effective trimming. especially if but tons matching those used on the coat are placed at intervals of four inches on the side band of braid.
 A belt of braid or soft girdle of silk completes the remodeled suit, which will be found satisfactory in every way to the woman with linn tied purse.

Clever Idea.

Necessity is the mother of inven- tion." and with stockings so extrava- gantly sheer and therefore so fright fully expensive one clever woman has devised scheme whereby she always appears to be clad in the most dain- tily transparent black hosiery. where as in reality she is wearing dark London smoke colored stocking at about 35 cents pair. The cleverness of this Idea must be demonstrated be- fore 1t can receive appreciation. Not only does the smoke color give the effect of extreme transparency. but it also suggests the daintiest of feet and ankles. minus the usual unattractive number of swollen veins and bumps that are so obtrusively apparent.

Eeathers MS. Flowers.

The rage for feathers which has marked the summer millinery has given a serious setback to the arti- ficial flower industry, and an attempt is to be made to introduce flower be- decked hats in the coming winter.
 At the beginning of the season many attempts were made to pop ularize floral millinery fashions, but women insisted on having feathers or perky bows of ribbons for the adorn- ment of their headwear. All kinds of beautiful blossoms were introduced in colors true to nature and in colors unknown to nature, with the object of turing women back to their old al legiance to the flower decked summer hat, but women would have none of them.
 Feathers or nothing at all, that was the decision, and flowers were rele- gated to the top shelf.
