A SKIRT THAT PLEAsEs.

Here is new model for a separate
skirt that has sprung into instant IA

two-pece yoke, pointed at the side
where the adjustment is effected, Both
pleats are gathers are used to dispose
OF the fulness below the hip yoke and
the bottom is finished with plain
hem.
TO make the design one will need ~
yards Of 54-inch or 39s yards of A.
inch material.
The home dressmaker who has had
but very little experience can develop
this skirt very successfully. Using 81
inch goods, first fold it, then arrange
on the fold The side gore.
Now fold the material again, max
ing a quarter instead of half fold as
in the first instance, and along the
lengthwise fold place the front gore,
also front yoke. Along the opposite
edge arrange the back gore and back
yoke. If the cloth is properly folded in
quarters the selvages will meet

box pleats and gather upper edge
along double TT" perforations.
For the yoke, first undertake side

edges Of Jokes on small 20 perfora-
tons, lap front yoke on back, matching
corresponding single small 20" perfo-
rations and stitch, leaving edges Con

The buttons should be as plain as

as ! had freed myself from greater
dangers, and nothing could stop me

Yet the presentiment OF evil re-
manned with me and sprang into new
life when, after hasty breakfast, con-
sisting of coffee and rolls, which was
brought to me by the wife OF one of
the men, l met the French officer,
looking glum and fiuttering a tele-
graphic dispatch in his hand.

ON which l ride the monoplane again,
with divers adventures by the way)
To fly from Paris to an island off
she coast of Corsica, there search for
an unwilling witness, and bring him
home with me within ten days, was
not an adventure that could be re-
garded lightly. 1t Is small wonder,
then, that my sleep on that eventful
Friday night was a troubled one In
the brief intervals of unconsciousness
that l enjoyed l seemed to be perpet-
ually riding through the air, like a
witch on broomstick, while behind
me Numbered legions Of the damned,
shrieking in the zest Of the chase
And one demon, with the head and
leering features of Leopold Magniff,
headed me off, forced me out of my
course, while below | saw Charles
@rithing in bonds, crying to me ap-
pealingly-and always helplessly.
When awoke for the last time toward
dawn it was to find Charles mother
standing beside me in her dressing
robe.
Tt is time to prepare for your jour-
ney, dear" she whispered
| dressed hastily and joined her and
the old Comte below. None Of us had
much appetite for breakfast. 1t was
an eerie sensation, sitting there in the
first rays Of the rising sun, in the per-
feet stiffness of Normandy morning,
knowing that the lives of Charles and
our grandfather and the future of our
historic house hung upon so slender
and desperate chance as that which
i was to undertake.
After breakfast we went out to the
hanger. The faithful old servant, as.
sisted by the valet, had wheeled the
great monoplane out upon the dewy
lawn. Charles mother had prepared
small package containing some food
in case of emergency, and | had a
handbag with few of the essentials
of journey. These were slowed away
behind the seat. The tank was al
ready filled with gasoline and the mo
tor, when tested, responded admirably
All was in readiness.
My grandfather and Charles mother
embraced me quietly; the undertake
ing was too serious a one for the dis
play of any surface emotion. | kissed

tank with gasoline; otherwise it would
be liable to explode. The conflict be-

force, caused by the expansion of
gases, would annihilate the mechan-
ism and cause serious tangental par
ibolas," continued gravely.
The gendarme scratched his head.
Undoubtedly, mademoselle," he an
swered. There is motor-car repair
shop across the square. Certainly
gasoline can be procured there"
A man in the crowd volunteered to
obtain it and disappeared, shortly re-
turning with a companion, both bear

own was speedily repleted. took my

orgies. Now we will have supper, and
afterward we will discuss our plans"
had stopped to purchase a map
before returning, and after the meal
we opened it and pored over it. My
first course, on the morrow, we esti-
mated, would pass through Troyes and
end at Dijon, where l should replenish
my gasoline tank and stay over night
Sunday would see me through Lyon
and along the Rhone to Avignon.
Thence, on the Monday, l should
strike east over the Basses-Alpes and
the Alpes Maritimes to Monaco; and
on the Tuesday there would be the
perilous sea fight of two hundred odd
miles to Corsica, and along the coast
for fifty miles to Scouto. At best, l
could reach Scouto by Tuesday eve
ing; and this would leave me but a
single day of four and twenty hours
in which to persuade Zeuxis to return
with me.
That night went out to the shed in
which the monoplane rested and looked
at her. For one moment, as l gazed,
a terrible fear overcame me- Next
moment something of the brave spirit
of the machine entered into my heart
and inspired me with its own power.

A letter had come for me from Can

without enthusiasm and tore open the
envelope. 1t was from Mary Jenner,
and dated from Winnipeg three weeks
before. The weather had been sti-
fling, she wrote, but, thank heaven,
the school term was ended. A party
of the teachers was going to Europe,
including herself and Mr.. Spratt,
whom she characterized as an "odious
little prosecutor" Mary intimated
that he had transferred his volatile
affections from myself to her, and that
she detested him. She hoped that l
had met my kinsmen and had gone to
visit them at the chateau, and hoped
TO see me soon-perhaps sooner than
1 expected, were the words she used.
But Mary Jenner, with whom l had
rocked so many midnight suppers in

Ing friendship, was the least of my
thoughts just now.

(TO BE CoNTINUED)
Crop Was Lasting Well.

The discovery of carpenter, whose
father, grandfather and great-grand-
father practised the same craft has
been commented upon in several news
papers, and at Lamberhurst, in Kent,
there is a family who have been inn
keepers for four centuries. In coun-
tries where the caste system prevails
such a record would be thought utter
ly insignificant, says the London
Chronicle. Grant Duff notes in his
diary the answer made by punkah-
puller in Madras to an English lady
who suggested that he might improve
his position. "Mem-sahib, my father
pulled a punkah, my grandfather
pulled a punkah, all my ancestors for
four million ages pulled punkaha; and

caste pulled punkah for Vishnu.~
