bravery Of misguided fanatic. He
frankly admitted that he had been
concerned in an attempt to bring
about better form of government;

Piece by piece the whole story was

but though many were brought. under
the iron grip Of the law, the arch
conspirator was still at large.

Zagarin of Werro. She was the
daughter of q retired shipmaster, who
was widower. Lydia was his only
daughter, and at her fathers death
would succeed to a snug little fortune.
Treskin had borrowed money from
her, and it was probable that he had
singled her out from the rest of his

Where Country Girl Excels.

Every girl has her own particular
charm, but certainly the country girl
possesses some extra specially besuilins
ones.
To begin with. she is much younger
than her town sister-for all that the
years may declare differently. So innn'
itely fresher in mind. as she Is roster In
compexion and brighter of eyes.
Ainusements that have ceased to DC
amusements to the town dweller fill her
with keenest enjoyment Perhaps IT Is In
delicious and frankly displayed JOY OF
life that the country girl most eXcels.
Her tongue may be less ready, her gen.
eral appearance less smart than IL she
had grown among brick walls and shop
windows, but the country girls bright
face takes all hearts by storm. and the
gentle friendliness that is the inevitable
result of country neighborliness makes
friends for her wherever she goes.

Collars Are High.
The collars should be very high. going

at the lower edge with picquot edge

match the insertion, adds dainty touch
The collar must be well boned. with
those invisible twisted wires that almost
every one prefers-these should be IN

To Clean Ribbons.

The best way to clean ribbons is to
sponge first with ammonia and water
then press with a heavy iron. or rather
draw the ribbon from under the iron in
stead of passing the latter over it. A
sheet of tissue paper should be slipped
between the iron and the ribbon. This
will decidedly freshen ribbon that is
slightly soiled or rumpled.

Mayor Woodward today vetoed the

for his act was the $4,000 crematory

the council will pass the budget re-
