CHAPTER v.
The Trail Of a War Party.

Before the suns rays touched the
summit of the bluff we were climbing
the sides of the ravine, with light
packs on our shoulders. Brady led the
way, tireless and watchful, his long
rife held ready in the crook Of his
arm, his alert eyes searching out the
ground ahead. Behind him numbered

on the surrounding ridges.
For three days we encountered moth
ing to alarm. Brady purposely kept
away from all trails, trusting implicitly
to his instinct as a woodsman to dis
cover a safe passage. He possessed
the instincts Of the wild, the subtlety
of the savage, born of constant peril
and loneliness.

smaIIness Of Present Millinery Some

an Easy Task.
Hats are still to be small.

Hats are still to be small.
The entire spring showing follows
the closest lines, SO that it is incum-
bent on us to retain almost severely
simple coiffures.
No allowance is made for the wom-

difficult to obtain accommodating head

ever, and whether this is more largely
due to the shapes or the trimmings is
hard to decide.
The sitter braids are not seen
much, though they will doubtless ap-
pear later among the more tailored
varieties.
Black is greatly in vogue at the
present writing, and a black hat is
really a sensible choice for the first
of the season, because it may be worn
with anything and will usually give ex-
ceptional service.

IN THE NEW NECkWEAR
OUTSTANDING FRiLLS SEEM TO
HAVE LOST POPULARITY.
Medici Collar, on the Other Hand, Is
Very Much in Evidence-Guimpes
Occupy Important Position
In the Wardrobe.

Neckwear has taken on decidedly
new lines. Few of the outstanding
frills are seen, although the Medici
collar continues in evidence. The
new neck fixings are developed of net
and sheer white linen, and are quite
lovely enough to please those whose
hobby is attractive neckwear.
Some of the chemisettes are Of al
most mannish severity, and they are
worn with the vests of brilliantly col
ored silk. These, however, are not
becoming to all types, SO there must
be other designs of softer lines for
the woman who demands fluffy neck
wear.
A chemisette trimmed with coin
Snapped buttons Is made for sheer
white linen. The collar flares away
from the neck, and is hemstitched an
inch from the edge. A pleated frill
borders the revers and three crochet

chemisette
Dotted tulle in it's transparent love-
liness is the material chosen to evolve
charming scalloped fichu-collar. The
scallops are buttonhole-stitched and
the frill is gathered through the cen
ter. Two frills of lace are stitched
under the outer scal.oped frill, and a
cravat of orange-colored moire ribbon
adds a pleasing note of color to this
piece of neckwear.

to be left behind. There was certainly
good stuff in the fellow, although he
swore stiffly, and had tread like an
elephant. Just before dark, the forest
about us already in gloom, we sudden
ly emerged from out the shadow of
great trees, and stood on the shore of
lake girded with woods. A few hun
dred feet from where we stood small
rocky island. dense with trees, rose
above the mirrored surface After one

as though questioning it's feasibility as
a night camp. There was yellow

He led the way, and we followed in
single file, our packs and rifles held
high overhead The water deepened
until 1t reached Schultz's armpits, but
there was no perceptible current, and
the sand underfoot was firm as rock.
Deep purple shadows seemed to shut
us in, as we clambered up the steep
bank of the island, our clothes drip
ping. Brady with outstretched hand
helped me to climb, clinging with his
other to a sapling. Then he pointed
across the darkened surface toward
the lower end of the lake. In the dis
tance there WAS the red glow of a fire,
barely visible.
The island was wider than had sup
posed, and must have contained fully
five acres, densely wooded, with no
sign of trail anywhere Apparently
we were the first explorers to pene-
trate its thickets. Suddenly we came
to the edge of small opening, sloping
down like saucer, grass covered and
treeless, open to the sky, but with a
dark irregular something at its CEN

on the blackened remains of a camp

hours before. Brady examined it with
great care, trailing the party to the
river bank, and then making wide

Narrow gold belts appear on the

Handwork Chic.

The demand for loosely woven fab
RIGS, whether of wool or cotton, or the
two in combination, is responsible for
some of the most attractive linens
and crepee this season. 1t is to be
remembered that materials of this
sort lend themselves readily to handi-
work, such as darning, crochetting and
outlining. A little handiwork goes a
long way toward giving a costume
style and individuality.

a still more remarkable advance in
the practical proficiency of the plants
that manufacture electrical appliances.

for electric street car lines, but now
