A Full Confession.


There were two more dances SEIZED
uled on the program. The last OF
these had begun before the infantry
sergeant returned, and, apologizing
fer his long absence, resumed his du-
ties at the door. Across the room,
Hamlin's eyes met those of Miss Nc
Donald, where she danced with an
unknown officer; then he turned and
elbOwed his way to the street. The
hotel opposite was all hustle and con-
fusion, the bar-TOom crowded with the
thirsty emergency walters who had
rushed about the hall completing final
preparations. The Sergeant, intent
on his purpose, and aware that the
band had ceased playing, lodged past
these and entered the parlor. 1t was
already occupied by four men, who
were playing cards at a small, round
table and smoking vigorously, entire
ly ~engrossed in their game. None Of
them so much as glanced up, and the
intruder hesitated an instant, quickly
determining his course Of action.
There was little choice left. The girl
would never make an appointment
with him except through necessity,
and it was manifestly his duty to pro-
tect her from observation. Two Of the
men sitting there were strangers; the
others he knew merely by sight, a
tin-horn gambler called Charlie, and a
suffers clerk. His decision was swift,
and characteristic.

Duck on the Window Sill Known to Many People

purchased in Ceylon.

SHADES FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT
Pretty Paper Affairs Can Easily Be
Made-FIower Patterns Much
In Favor

Green cartilage paper should be cut
into a circular shape with small cir
Gle cut from the center and a section
cut from the side, so that when the
endc are joined ii will make the shade
conical-shaped. Next. before joining
the pieces. draw a pattern upon the
edge, cutting it out with a sharp knife,
practically making a stencil pattern
This is venetian paper work, and IL
one is provided with a very sharp
knife, manicure scissors and a small
stiletto the work can be quickly done.
The idea is to have the design per-
fectly smooth. Back this with me-
dunn thin red paper, using thin
paste to join them together. Photo
graph paste is excellent for this Dur-
pose, and a roller is helpful in smooth
ing the papers.
Do not bend the paper to form the
cube shape until the paste is dry. Roll
il gently to prevent it from breaking.
Join the edges and trim the lower and
upper edge. If there is no brass globe
support upon the electric light bulb II
will be necessary TO make a wire tri-
angle across the top OF the shade. Re-
move the bulb, place the shade over IT..
replace the bulb in the socket and the
shade is secure. For patterns there
are flower patterns and the conven-
tional stencils.
