Judge Ira Z. Robinson was then in
troduced as the ornament OF the
bench and received an ovation. In
part he spoke as follows: Gentle
men we may feel that the country Is
IN danger OF the downfall OF the power
of Judges. but ! place the greatest
confidence in the leadership of The
legal minds and that we are nwo liv-
ing in the era and manner of history
prophecied by McCauley. There are a
great many problems TO be brought
out and ] believe the men at the b ar
are powerful enough TO PROFOUND those
ideas and to bring them out We an
preciate the honor you Gentlemen have
conferred upon US. or course there
Is some Inconvenience in our sitting
IN your city but we feel that it Is
the shining light OF the state, and the
greatest city OF the panhandle.
We must become inspired by the
things that the world wants. to keep
on the inspired side OF the profession
AS the legal profession goes on we
must have faith In It's power and
strive towards the higher calling OF
the profession. There Is a character
OF manhood that God gives us that
we should respect We should strive
for the things that are endowed with
in us and that need very little effort
TO get out at times We are living
In an age OF progression and at a
time when the world wants men"

New Ideas In Lingerie.

The chemise is coming into its own
again. The latest expression of this
garment is slashed very deep at each
side and it has rounded instead Of
square corners, so as not to interfere
with the garters. 1t is developed in
nainsook and edged with lace, with
shoulder straps variously of lace and
of ribbon.
The cotton crepe petticoat has late
ly discovered a rival in the underskirt
of pique. This is designed to be worn
under tailored skirts. 1t may show
either a simple scalloped edge or an
elaborate design of hand embroidery,
Still another variety of petticoat is
made of a new material resembling
basket cloth. This is ornamented with
a design of embroidered dots and fin
ished with buttonholed edge.-Phia

CHAPTER xlv.-contlnued.

Billy and the Watermelon soon drift
ed away by themselves up tiny COW
lane, fragrant with sweetbrier. They
wandered up it side by side, like two
children, neither saying thing, con-
tent to be together. At the end of the
lane they leaned for a while on the
pasture bars.
The two stood side by side, their
fellows on the top rail, their hands
There was nothing to say, just the
might and they two, alone, among the
sweetbriers and the fireflies.
Now and then Billy sighed, uncon-
sciousIy and happily. A great silence
had enwrapped Billy for the last two
days, silence in which she was con-
tent to dream and in which words
seemed superfuous and uncaIled for
Without warning the bushes at her
side parted and COW with great,
gentle eyes peered out at them, so
near that Billy could feel the breath,
warm and sweet, upon her cheek.
With little cry, she shrank close to
the Watermelon.
He felt her slender body, soft and
yielding, nesting against him, smelt
the fragrance of her curly hair, and
suddenly a great tide of longing, of
passion, of desire welled up in him
and choked him. He wanted to crush
.her to him, to cover eyes and hair
with kisses, to hold her so tightly that
Bhe would cry for release. All the
ungoverned feelings of the past few
years surged over him and threatened
to carry both forever out of sight of
Iand and decency. But, blindly, not
knowing what he did, he turned from
her and picked up stick to hurl at
the COW. She had turned to him in
her fear, and with the honor of his
clerical father. he controlled himself.
Billy laughed and Strengthened up,
as the COW, grieved and surprised,
backed off in the dark. Pm not afraid
of cows, Willie" said she. Don't you
know it? She just came so suddenly

Love In IdIeness.

One not born vagabond in heart
love for the open places, for absolute
freedom, to go where he wants, see
what he wants, work when he wants
To a vagabond an Office is intolerable,
the accumulation of dollars, grinding
another man to gain a petty advance

ventionality, the ceaseleSs humdrurn
round of existence as a clerk at ten

bent, round-shouldered, hump-backed,
over a column of figures. Beneath
good clothes or shabby, there was
nothing but a human body, all more
or less alike. So the Watermelon had
gone his careless, contented way, now
resting here, now working there, un-

collars fraying around the edges, coats
getting shabby and shiny at the seams,

him and seemed too strong to be re

BLOSSOMS HAVE FIRM HOLD
Place on the Costume That Is
Strictly in Style.

Artificial flowers have their place
on dress as perhaps never before. But
they represent particular order of
artificial fowers-blossoms in satin,
velvet and plush-in fact, something
quite new.
AS to the velvet and satin roses
and lilies, no dressmaker could do
without them at the present time.
A single corsage sometimes displays
two or three in different places. They
nestle in folds of embryo panniers,
and show themselves as headings in
masses of skirt drapery.
A big blossom has its place by right
at the waist, and when a sash is worn
the ends generally seem to fall from
it; but flowers in velvet, satin or
plush are not the only artificial ones
now having to do with dress.
