auto. Harry started in pursuit OF his
! soaring sweetheart, while Owen and
Hicks departed in the formers car to
make detour of a neighboring noun
tain and watch from afar the last of
the girl, whose death would mean for
tune to the plotters.
Meantime the balloon, carried ever
onward at a rapid speed by the heavy
with that was blowing towards the sea-
circled lofty and precipitous cliff and
Pauline, in the last hope of despair
cast overheard the anchor. A lulI in
the breeze allowed the balloon to ca
reen towards the side of the cliff and
as the anchor swung free Il caught on
the limb of a tree, caught and held
fast. For several moments Pauline pom
dered over her situation. Weighing in
her mind the possibility of someone
reaching and rescuing her and firmly
convinced that she would wait long
for aid the brave girl decided upon a
bold stroke, in which her athletic
proWess proved of great assistance to
her. Swinging lightly over the side
OF the basket she gripped the rope
firmly and commenced the descent, not
knowing at what moment the anchor
might tear loose from its moorings and
allow the balloon once more to soar
away and leave her in a more terrible
and terrifying position than ever.
Safely negotiating the perilous de-
scent she found herself on a narrow
ledge of rock, midway between the
summit and the base of a cliff that
was almost perpendicular To the top
it was several hundred feet, while to
the bottom 1t was approximately the
same distance. r. ~
Pauline had experienced many thrills
and perils but the one she had just
come through left more of an impress
sion on her than any previous one,
and even now she was greatly per-
picked as to how she would be able
to reach either extremity of the cliff
but was we'll satisfied that she had
escaped the awful possibility of the
free balloon. !
In the meantime Harry had followed
the balloon as closely as was possible
considering the rugged and broken
character of the country and was
quickly at the top Of the cliff, attract
ed by the closeness of the mammoth
gas bag. -

and his heart leaped with joy at the
response, Here / am, Harry, way

the treacherous rocks, whose treach-
cry, however. was not a circumstance
to that of Owen and Hicks who, arriy-
ing at the summit of the cliff discoy-
cred the rope and readily read its
meaning, When Harry had reached
point within few feet of the ledge
upon which Pauline had, found refuge
the rope parted and he was precipi-
tated headlong on to the cruel rocks
at her feet.
Fortunately for the brave young man

to the added weight of his living bur-

SMART SPRING COATS.
They Are GayIy Adorned With Russian
Embroidery.

One of the smartest new trimmings
is Russian embroidery. which is used
on the three-quarter length coats. 1t
usually forms the ceinture. The m
broideries are carried out in heavy
silk, outlined in metal threads and in
all the splendid colorings for which
Russia is famous.
The bands are usually eight or ten
inches wide and the embroidery exc
cuted on very fine kid or suede fin
ished canvas. These coats, of The most
marvellous material further enriched
with the Russian embroideries. invari-
ably have the ceinture placed halfway
between the original waist line and the
knees. A coat of this type opens over
the most abbreviated Of bolero waists,
and the contrast is not only startling
but rather pleasing.
The mode Of the moment seems to be
to attract attention by any novelty
which Is startling. This is true of the
prevailing and ugly style of the balloon
effect in front below the waist. The
result IS that tho swathed ceinture is
tied in front.
Their are other and more pleasing
methods of arranging the sash. 1t is
the clever person who invents Il new
method. They are formed OK many
materials rom gauZe to the rich velvet

CHERRY GAMES AND PRIZES.
They Are Just the Thing For Wash.
ington's Birthday.

Cherry games are appropriate for the
Washington's birthday party.
Get a branch Of some tree, prefer
ably with leaves, but if bare it can be
furnished with tissue paper foliage.
To it attach with invisible wire or
threads the artificial candy cherries
which so exactly simulate the real
fruit to the eye. Suspend the branch
at n end of the room and gather the
players up at the opposite end.
Each guest receives 4 slip of paper
on which he must write down his
guess as to the number Of cherries on
the branch. Each guess must be sign.
ed with the name of the guesser. Al
the end of five minutes collect the slips
and discover which person has guessed
the exact number. In case no one has
hit upon it exactly, the person coming
nearest wins the prize.
To make the prize for this gift, bury
a ten cent gift Of some kind in a
handful Of cotton wadding, shaping il
round like q ball. Then cover with
scarlet tissue paper to make a huge
cherry.
Cherries made in the same way, con
tanning candy, are splendid consolation
prizes for a childrcn's party.

STRIKING HOLIDAY CAKE.
A Wonderful Confection For the Wash.
inoton Birthday Dinner.


The George Washington cake, with
out which many would think a Wash
ington's birthday dinner lacking. can
be made like Il shield. a flag, Il Ratchet
or a log by filling in a big cake pan
with pieces Of wood so cut that the
dough will bake in the desired mold.
The wood must, OF course, be carefully
creased to keep the cake from sticking
to it and crumbling when taken out.
Either the shield or the roll made in
imitation of a log is easiest to make
according to an expert cook. The real
beauty Of these cakes is in the icing,
which should be as hear red, white
and blue as is possible. If Il woman
cannot manage the icing in red the
best plan is to just put on a thick plain
white sugar icing and across it tie al
ternate pieces Of red and blue ribbon
to give the shield the appropriate and
patriotic colOrs.
The top of the cake may be covered
with q silk flag carefully held in place
by small punches Of red and white
flowers tied with red ribbons. The
simplest method Of all would be to
plant a good sized silk flag in the cen-
ter of the cake, or if it is desirable to
give each guest a souvenir then put
small banners around the edge about
an inch apart SO that there will be one
for each slice.
WashingtOn'S picture or a miniature
bust can be put on top Of the cake and
held down by icing if desirable or two
bnsts, II Of the first president and
another Of Martha Washington, il they
are not too large or heavy.

that the purpose for which the proper

THE NEW COlFFURE.
Waved and FIuffed Hair the Fashion
Of the Moment.

Much can be said in favor of the
new couture. After the very simple
methods Of arranging ones locks 1t is
rather trying to begin again with the
marcelle tongs, for the hair must be
waved and fluffy to be arranged in the
approved style.
One way Of arranging the couture is
to roll the hair from the right to the
left side and pile it high on the head
in a simple knot, bun or puff. Attrac-
tive little curls-"heart %catchers," as l
heard one American call them-are ar
ranged in front Of each ear. The fore

and was told that no reason whatever
had been vouchsafed. He suspected
that the owner wished to build on the
property himself, or possibly he might
be negotiating with other parties.
Belle was very much disappointed.
She told the gentleman that but few
concerns had the means to purchase SO
large q property and IL the opportunity
were not taken advantage Of both
places would remain as they were,
producing no income and paying taxes
that would gradually eat them up.
The young man said that he would

deavor to impress him with this view
Of the case.
In a few days Mr.. Alexander called
again to report that he had failed to
impress the owner OF the property
with the reasons Miss Hinckley had
brought forth and feared that he had
other views for the property. The
matter dragged along. The would be
purchasers were known to be looking
at other sites, and Miss Hinckley was
discouraged.

Belle secuted the idea. Indeed, she
had taken quite a fancy to this Mr..
Alexander, but anyway she wouldn't
marry an old man, especially a stub
born one. But she thought Of the
matter and concluded that she would

CHAMPION JOHNNY KILBANE WORKS
ON A REGULAR SCALE OF PRICES

Johnnie Kilbane, featherwelght'
champion, operates on a regular scale
of prices. For a twenty-round scrap
he wants anywhere from $1,000 to
$500 as a guarantee. Shorter bouts
cost the promoters less.
Johnnie Dundee, with whom Kill
baRe has just been matched, comes
in on the lowest scale. As a card
and as an opponent, Kilbane rates
the Italian at $1,000. Here is Kill
bane's price scale:
$4,000, Matt Brock, 10 rounds.
$1,000. Johnny Dundee, 20 rounds.
$4,000, Joe Mandot, 20 rounds.
$500, Jose Rivers, 20 rounds.
He rates Joe Mandot not only as a
tougher proposition than Dundee but
as better card, providing the battle
is he'd in New Orleans. This match
is in train. If 1t falls through, Kill
bane may take on Joe Rivers at Los
Angeles, at the top price of his list
With all these guarantees, Kilbane
wants an option of 30 per cent of the
house.
