this adventure. Oliver would be
caught in manifest effort to escape,
and the judges cup of sorrow and hui
initiation would be full. He felt the
shame of it himself, also the folly of
his own methods and of the part he
had allowed Reuther to play. Beck
oning to his host to follow him, he
turned toward the house.
Don't mention your fears to the
young lady" said he. "At least, not
till we are well past the gully"
Il shan't mention anything Don't
you be afeared of that"
And with simultaneous effort diff
cult for both, they assumed a more
cheerful air. and briskly entered the
house.
1t was not until they were we'll upon
the road back that Reuther ventured
to speak of Oliver. She was riding as
far from the edge of the precipice as
possible. In descent 1t looked very
formidable to her unaccustomed eye.
This is dangerous road for a
man to ride bareback" she remarked.
I'm terrified when l think of it, Mr..
Black. Why did he go off quite so
suddenly? Is there train he is anx-
ious to reach? Mr.. Sloan, is there
train?"
Eyes, miss, there is a train"
(Which he can get by riding fast?"
1--WE known it done!"
Then he is excusable." Yet her
anxious glance stole ever and again
to the dizzy verge toward which she
now unconsciously urged her own
horse till Mr.. Black drew her aside.
A half-hour's further descent, then
a quick turn and Mr.. Sloan, who had
ridden on before them, came galloping
hastily back.
Mr. Black fastened to meet their
guide. What now?" he asked. Have
they come together? Have the de-
tectives got him."
mo, not him; only his horse. The
animal has just trotted up-riderless"
Good God! The child's instinct
was true He has been thrown
mo" Mr.. Sloan's mouth was close
to the lawyers ear. There's another
explanation. If the fellow is game,
and anxious enough to reach the train
to risk his neck for it, there's path
he could have taken which would get
him there without his coming round
this turn Then as Reuther came
ambling up: Young lady, don't let
me scare you, but it looks now as If the
young man had taken a short cut to
the station. Look back along the edge
of the precipice for about half mile,
and you will see shooting up from the
gully solitary tree whose topmost
branch reaches within few feet OF
the road above"
Eyes," she suddenly replied. as her
glance fell on the one red splash
showing against the dull gray OF the
cliff.
"A leap from the road, If well-timed,
would land a man among some very
stalwart branches"

Dust Clouds Armies Make.

An army on the march along dry
roads naturally throws up very heavy
dust clouds. 70 those who haven't
been trained one dust cloud looks very
much like another, but to soldier
these dust clouds tell a very clear
story.
The dust clouds thrown up by in
fantry, for example, hangs in low,
thick cloud. The longer the cloud
the more men underneath 1t, and a
scout can, by this means, make fair
ly accurate guess of the number OF
men on the march.
Cavalry on the march sends up
dust cloud that is much higher and
thinner than that of infantry. The
most distinctive of these dust clouds,
however, is that made by wagons and
heavy guns The dust rises in little
groups Of clouds, quite different from
the long clouds of cavalry and in
fantry.
So even when unable to see the
actual cause Of the dust, scout can
tell many miles away what kind OF
force is passing along road.

Eiaured SILK Pettieoat.

To wear with negIigee there are
lively petticoats of pompadour silks.
Sometimes the ground is white and
the floral decoration is carried out in
pink and blue. Sometimes the ground
is yellow, pink or brown, with blue
and pink, or brown, yellow and green
flowers on it. These petticoats are
finished at the bottom with ruche-
edged ruffies, and some of them are
held out with a reed. They are worn
rather short. Already, however, there
is Indication that the excessively
short skirts worn by some women this
spring are freak rather than
phase of fashion. Many of the de-
signers and dressmakers predict that
skirts will lengthen before autumn.

mo; they didn't come on. They
didn't have to. This is the only road
down the mountain, and it's one you've

precipice. All they've got to do is to
wait for him; and that's what tried
to tell him. but he just shook his arm
at me and rode on. He might better
have waited-for company"
Mr.. Black cast a glance behind him,
saw that the door of the house was
almost closed end ventured to put an
other question.
What did he ask you when he
came out here?"

hour to bring him his fathers mes

"And what did you say?"

wouldn't have stopped where they

Mr.. Black recalled the aspect of the

something to eat. Not a word. III"
Why did his eye wander to the near
est window, and his words trail away
into silence?
Reuther turned about to see. Oliver
was in front, conversing earnestly
with Mr.. Sloan. AS they looked. he
dashed back into the rear of the
house. and they heard his voice rise
once or twice in some Intellectual COM
mands to his deaf servant, then there
came clatter and a rush from the
direction of the stable, and they saw
horse, and take with long bounds the
road up which they had just labored
He had stopped to equip himself in
some measure for his ride, but not the
horse, which was without saddle or
any sort of bride but halter strung
about his neck.
This was flight; or so it appeared to
Mr.. Sloan, as he watched the young
man disappear over the brow of the
hill What Mr. Black thought was not
so apparent. He had no wish to dis
courage Reuther whose feeling was
one of relief as her first word showed

She was on the verge of fainting
again.
And then Alanson Black showed of
what stuff he was made. In ten min
utes he had hustled about the half-de-
serted building, and with the aid of
the dazed and uncomprehending deaf
mute, managed to prepare cup of hot
tea and a plate of steaming eggs for
the weary girl.
After such an effort, Reuther felt
obliged to eat, and she did; seeing
which, the lawyer left her for a mo-
ment and went out to question their
guide

This from Mr.. Sloan.

"Ya-as." The drawl was one of

RENEWING THE STRAW HAT
Ways in Which Old Headgear May Be
Freshened So That Is viii
Appear New.

You can freshen your colored straw
hat with dyes. There are dyes which
can be diluted in gasoline or water
and which, if properly applied to
hat, will give the desired color. When
it cannot be given its original color,
it may be dyed black.
To restore natural straw color, clean
the hat with lemon juice and sulphur.
Wash white straw with oxalic acid
diluted with water. A leghorn hat
may be cleaned with water or acid
dampened cornmeal. Brush it lightly
and place it over burning sulphur to
bleach the straw The sulphur may be
burned in a can in the bottom OF a
barrel, and the hat suspended at the
top, where it will not scorch.
A straw hat may be successfully
bleached at home by first placing a
piece of thick brown paper the width
of the hatband around it, and tying 1t
with a string to keep in place. Then
cover the entire surface of the straw
with a thick paste made of sulphur
and water, and put the hat where the
direct rays of the sun will beat down
upon 1t. A sunny grass plot is just
the place. When the paste has become
thoroughly dry, brush well with a
whisk broom, and a new hat will be
the result.
To clean a panama hat, wet some
sulphur and make paste of 1T, and
rub it on the hat with small brush.
Put on enough to cover the hat thor
oughly. Let it stand in the sun until
dry, then rub more with clean cloth.
To renovate black straw hat that

has become old and rusty looking, go
over it several times with cloth
saturated in alcohol When dry, the
straw will be as black and glossy as
when new. If the crown of the hat
has become loppy, dampen it with
cloth moistened with water and then
press dry with a warm iron. Cover
be artistic. This method of trimming
is fashionable as well as handy in

SAILOR HATS FAVORED
PLAIN HEADGEAR is FASHIONS
DECREE FOR THE YOUNG.
Sports Coats Have Not Yet Put the
Popular Sweater Out of the Run
nine-Modes Adapted for the
Youthful Figure.

In young girls hats the wide Re-
boux sailor undoubtedly leads in ia
vor. 1t is severely plain this year,
worn rather tilted, and trimmed with
a band and fat princess bow of striped
or checked betting ribbon. Newer,
perhaps, is sort of baretta of black
satin. This has a tight straw band
in four sections and pointed in front
and behind and at each side. Charm
ing are the woven silk caps, ending in
a tassel, which are pulled over the
crown of a sailor hat and dangle off
the brim at one side.
The cricket blazers are the newest
of the sport coats, but the vogue of
the sweater is by no means at an end.
The variety of these useful garments
is greater than ever. Some models are
very elaborate affairs of knitting, COM
bining two colors in stripes and
squares in an endless variety of pat
terms But the simpler the better for
the young girl. A solid color with
white edges, or white with colored
borders, or one of the new tapestry
edges, may be worn for all kinds of
occasions. They may be found to suit
every purse in fine Jersey silk with
tasseled sashes and wide collars, cost
ing a small fortune, or in the hum
bier but at the same time warmer
wool in beautiful colors. The new
ones open down the front for a short

hail her presence at his door In
place so remote and of such inacces-
sibility. She only saw that his hands
had gone up and out at sight of her,

like a rebuff which, while expected,
choked back her words and turned her
faintly flushing cheek scarlet.
