panion for the journey.
It imparts the pride of good
company. Its pleasing conven-
fences will be constant delight.
No, | didn't know Gorham's
made leather bags either until |
began exploring this vast shop.
These bags are but one lone item
i'll the huge leather goods total.
There are suit cases, handbags.
limousine cases, dressing bags,
vanity cases-even peregrinating
humidors for your pet cigars.
When you think of it, from
making toilet silver to making re-
ceptacles to carry it in is but a
step. Gorham's took the step,
years ago. Now this is one of the
big features Of the Gorham bust
ness.
The earth is ransacked for
choice skins for these bags-pig-
skin, seal, steer, buffalo, alligator,
lizard, elephant. Nine elephants
persisted recently in the Ohio
floods. Their hides will be made
into Gorham bags and purses.
Likewise of the elephant drowned
in the Hudson last March. Three
thousand selected lizard skins
from Java and Brazil are a recent
consignment TO the Gorham
leather shop.
Gorham travelling bags and
suit cases are the perfection OF
Workmanship and design. They
are right up TO the minute in con-
venicnces and construction.
Every Gorham suit case is made
with an aluminium frame, which
makes them just half as heavy as
the old style suit cases. And thev
are just as strong as the suit case
with a steel or iron frame.
A new idea is the use of right
and left locks instead of clamps
and the center. lock. They UNI
fasten with ease and snap.
Then there is the drop-front
ladies' suit case-another new
idea. 1t has a separate compart-
ment in front for toilet fittings.
When you buy one of these
bags or cases, YOU can get as
many toilet articles as you want
or none at all. Each toilet article
is provided with its own reposi-
tory. And every piece of Gorham
leather goods is hand made
made right in the Gorham Build,

To try to itemize tho prices
would be idle. Here is a general
idea Of them:
20 to "a inch mems suit cases,
with from II to Is toilet fittings, |
from $64 to $3.50 and up.
These are in cowhide, Texas

Sons.
Readers Of THE Way of an Eagle"
will remember the strength Of Miss Dell's
characterization of the man who chiefly
figured In that story. Here again the
interest centers in man. The tale deals
with his redemption from an almost dia-
bolic wickedness to a remarkable man
hood. The story is Of English life,
Americans. A hard-drinking English
squire has married the daughter Of an
embezzling bailiff. who sacrifices herself
for her fathers sake. 1t is obvious that
such a marriage cannot be happy, but
Lady Carfax holds her head proudly and
makes the best Of her unfortunate situa-
ton. In this condition comes into her
millionaire who has taken up his resi-
dence In England. The rich man Is a
cripple and yet Is q man Of great power
and strength Of character In the de-
lineation Of this type Miss Dell has scored
almost as great an achievement as in
men love this one woman and each is
willing to yield her to the other. In
working out this situation Miss Dell
reveals the powers Of craftsmanship that
were indicated in her earlier work.

been engaged colored men have fought

ords OF colored traitors.
The colored women are loyal in their
reverence for those of their race who
have accomplished work for some
worthy cause. Their records of those
who at sacrifice to themselves have help

will be longer remembered than Harrie,

cause having run away herself f ON the
brutality OF an overseer. she made nc
less than nineteen trips back to the south
to lead other negroes into freedom. A
price OF $4,000 was finally put upon her
head. but this did not deter her, and her
native cunning enabled her to lead large
parties of slaves to freedom.
During the civil war she was faithful
army nurse and also performed valuable
services as a spy and scout SO that she
was honored by the highest officers in
the Union army. Elizabeth Wright, Mrs

names reverenced by the educated color

to help their own race.

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
The Baby Chuck Refuses to Go
Home.
By Thornton w. Burgess.
Copyright. 1913. by J. G. Lloydo

Jolly round, red Mr.. Sun. rubbing the
sleepy winks out Of his eyes, smiled at
what he saw very early that morning.
Down the Lone Little Path marched
Jimmy Skunk with his head held high
and his big plump tail waving proud
ly Behind him trotted Uuc' Billy Pos
sum- his coat as rough and tumbled
/, as usual, his keen little eyes twinkling
and his sharp little old face stretched
in broad grin which showed all his
white teeth. Last OF all came Prickly
Porky the Porcupine, with a splinter
his mouth like a toothpick. and rat
thing his thousand little spears.
Sammy Jay was the first to see them
coming. He had hurried to the edge of
the Green Forest at the very first hint OF
light. You see. Sammy knew all about
how Jimmy Skunk and Prlckly Porky
were to try to set Unc' Billy Postum
free from the wire-covered box in which
Farmer Browns boy had kept him a
prisoner, and Sammy was dreadful anx-
ious to know how they had succeeded. AS
soon as he saw Unc' Billy Postum he
knew that they had succeeded, and he
hurried to meet them so as to hear all
about how ii was done.
II suppose you left the baby Chuck at
Johnny Chucks house on your way
through the old orchard said Sammy.
Instantly all three looked very grave.
NO" said Jimmy Skunk. slowly, I'VE
didn't We left him up in Farmer
Browns dooryard''
WHAT" screamed Sammy jay. Didn't
you set him free?
Jimmy Skunk and Prickly Perky and
Unc' Billy Postum nodded their heads
vigorously.
Certainly we did," replied Jimmy
Skunk. Certainly we did, but he just
wouldn't come
wouldn't comet. exclaimed Sammy
Jay. as If he never had heard of such a
thing "Why, what under the sun was
the matter with him.
Il don't know" said Jimmy. He just
wouldn't come. and we couldn't make
him. Who'll tell Johnny Chuck:
Jimmy looked at Unc Billy Postum,
and Inc Billy Postum looked at Prickly
Porky. and then All three looked at
Sammy ia. You'll have to-" said
Jimmy Skunk. Its getting broad day
light and il wouldn't do for any of us to
go up to the old orchard in broad day
light. OF course Johnny Chuck is terri
bly, anxious to know. 50 you'll have To
60. Sammy Jay
OF course the real reason none wanted
70 so was because they couldn't bear to
