Extension Side GirdIe,

Most effective of all the new fur
bishes for costumes is the extension
side girdle. So broad that it gives the
very becoming Empire effect above
the waist line, below that line it fits
smoothly over the hips and lends to
them the much-desired appearance Of
extreme slenderness. At the left side
this girdle extends into a single broad
sash end--cut in one with the acces-
sory--which tapers gradually toward
the knee. where it terminates in a
deep fringe. The girdle, which obvi-
ously must be carefully fitted to the
figure and skillfully boned into perma-
rent shape is most effective in velvet
but often a very heavy silk is used
and occasionally duvetyn or thick
hroadcloth The choice of the fabric
depends, of course, wholly upon the
street or house costume with which
it is to be worn.

was telephoned to from the Grand Cen

work in these mad days of frenzied
finance.
HE didn't wait to take a train-he

The little Bushman of South Africa
Is not only small in size, but to the
Europeon he appears feeble in mind.
Yet there is the story of an encounter
between a Bushman and lion which,
according to correspondent of Har-

danger and fertile in resource.
The Bushman, who was a long way
from home, met a lion. The animal,
sure that he had his victim complete
ly in his power, began to sport with
him with a feline playfulness that the
little Bushman failed to appreciate.
The lion would appear at a point in
the road, and leap back again into the
jungle, to reappear little farther on.
The Bushman did not lose his pres

d way to outwit his foe. Aware that
the beast was ahead of him, the Bush
man lodged into the jungle to the

CHAPTER TX.

On the way to the hotel, after they
had left the Judges house, Broadway
tried to tell Bob Wallace what, in
deed, was the matter with him, but
could not, for he had not the leas
idea.
DO you really mean to keep the
plant?" asked Wallace skeptically.
Yes, and pass 1t to my children.
said the dazed young gentleman.

founded asst"
"And they'll pass it to their chill
dren," said the coming magnate Of the
chewing-gum trade.
Il think you're crazy"
| Bob, it's cinch. But let me tel
you" And he tried to, with but slight
success.
Wallace was a shrewd young man
''Is it your conscience or the girl thai
has driven you insane? he asked.
'1'm thinking about Jonesville M!

well, he made a blamed bad jot
of it. Why didn't he build a place &
man could get decent drink in while
he was about it?"
"And my father kept it going"
We'll, he didn't keep it going very
fast"
"And now I've got to keep my faith
with it. 1t is a sacred duty. I must
not abandon it."
Say" said Wallace, in disgust
Where did you get that stuff? Have
you gone out and tried to get decent
drink here? This town ought to be
abandoned. 1t ought to be put out
of it's misery"

ruin all these people,"

The top of the ruff1e is cut into
short slashes, the edges carefully fin

the man had suddenly disappeared
from the path, he was perplexed. He
roared. Then he espied the Bushman
peering at him over the grass
The Bushman at once changed his
position, while the lion stood irreso-
lutte in the path, following with his
eye the moving black man. The little
man rustled the reeds, vanished, and
appeared at another point
The great brute was first confused
and then alarmed. 1t began to dawn
On him that he was the hunted party
The Bushman did not let the lion col
lect his startled wits. He began to
steal gradually toward the foe, who
now, in complete state of doubt and
fear, turned tail, and ran ignominious-
ly from the field.

To every man of every creed
There comes a sweet Utopian dream:
He sees land where not a weed
May ever grow, where every stream
Makes music as it winds along,
Where all the breezes blow in tuna,
Where all is fair and life song.
Where all the blissful year is June.
There fragrant roses ever bloom,
And everywhere contentment spreads;
The nights age robbed of all their gloom
The sun a genial radiance sheds;
There all things are superbly planned.
The prospects all spread far and fair;
Each man has dreams of such land
With him enthroned as master there.

smiling at him in a way which panied
Broadway, for it seemed certain to
cement the jurist's firm intention of re.

the evening. 1t seemed to him that
this was inconsiderate.
"The old gentleman told me-" the
Judge explained, that the works
showed profit of about forty thou
sand dollars last year. Is that right?'
ooh, it was more than that"
This distracted Jackson Jones' atten
ton even from the color of her eyes
More than forty thousand dollars!

gesture of the neck and side head
twist which were habitual with him in
moments of delighted surprise.

head had pretty, earnest pucker that
almost unnamed him.
Sure, think it is" he made haste
to agree. What do you think about
1t, judge?" The judge must be brought
into the talk, of course, as long as he
was there.
The Judge settled back into his chair
and looked complacent. "I always said
it was the best chewing gum in the
world"
I'VE are talking about profits. not
about the gum" said Broadway, and
Josie burst into ripping laugh which
he felt sure was of the sort which
tinkles among angels when something
makes them happy on the golden
streets.
There was that in this speech which
penetrated to the depths of the judi
cial system; it served as light to show
the Judge what might be going on.
Although he had been comfortably set
tied for long hours chat about sub
ject which intensely interested him, he
rose abruptly and stood looking down

toward the door, and smiled at every
step. Il want to ask MON about some

Jackson Jones was really embar-
rassed for moment when he found
himself alone with this old friend of
his youth, this simple little country
girl. But he knew 1t wouldn't do; he
was certain that it was absurd. To
kill time he referred back to what the
judge had said about the gum.
