 A sort of midnight dew fell upon him: so at least he thought. and it seemed to him heavenly dew and to cover him like benignant rain He grew cooler He prayed again. and with his words there came to the young man an inefab1e sense of peace. He pillowed his fading thoughts upon it; he pillowed his aching mind upon it and his body, too, and the pain of his wound and he thought aloud, with only the night airs to hear him, in broken sentences: If this is death it is not so pad. One should rather be afraid of life. This is not difficult, if I should ever get out of here I shall not regret this night"
 Toward morning he grew calmer, he turned to speak to his little compan- ion. In his troubled thoughts he had forgotten Pitchoune.
 Sabron faintly called him. There was no response. Then the soldier listened in silence. It was absolutely unbroken. Not even the call of ght-bird-not even the cry of a hy- ena-nothing came to him but the in- articulate voice of the desert. Great and solemn awe erept up to him. crept up to him like a spirit and sat. down by his side. He felt his hands grow cold, and his feet grow cold. Now, un- able to speak aloud, there passed through his mind that this, indeed, was death, assertion absolute in the heart of the plains.

 Seal, pin-seal and morocco lead in point of popularity and also in adapta- bility to the requirements in an up- to-date bag, although other feathers find numbers of admirers. Among nov cities for midsummer that have been promoted by the universal blaek-and- white vogue are bags of black patent leather and white kid in which the colors appear in about equal parts and others in which white predominates with trimmings of the brilliant black

extras wherewithal the bag is pro- vided Little pockets in Innings pro vide for a diminutive powder box with tiny powder puff in it, a small comb, a little fiat but efficient clothes brush, and a fiat bottle for perfume, toilet water or liquid face cream. These exactly fit. The little mirror is usually attached by bit of ribbon to the frame of the bag, and some times the coin purse is anchored by a slender chain. Besides all the built-in fixtures these bags accommodate a fountain pen, a small pencil and a lit tie pair of scissors. On the outside is fiat pocket for the handkerchief and a small fiat compartment between the cover and the inner pocket makes a place for letters, memos or cards. In spite of all these convenient fittings they are so artfully disposed that the bag accommodates them easily and there is plenty of room left for carry ing little purchases.
 In the picture three popular bags are shown, also small sketches of nov city bags and purses made of silk or knitted of silk thread and decorated with beads The latter are quite a diff ferent order of bags from those made of leather, and require a separate de scription. JULIA BOTTOMlEY.

 Julia shook her head.
 Not in words, ma tante."
 There was a silence, and then Julia Redmond said:
 T only want to assure myself that he is safe, that he lives. 1 only wish to know his fate"

 She had been so thoroughly the American girl that she had thought of nothing but going. She threw her arms around her aunt's neck with an abandon that made the latter young again.

 He asked me to make up my own party for a cruise on the Mediterran- ean," said the Marquise d'Esclignac thoughtfully.
 Miss Redmond fetched the telegraph blank and the pad from the table. The color began to return to her cheeks She put from her mind the idea that her aunt had plans for her. All ways were fair in the present situation.

If We leave out the consideration Of cotton fabrics, eliminating especially those in novelty weayes, we shall have to concede the honors of the season to taffeta as the fayorite fabric Of fashion. The taffeta one-piece dress. the tafeta suit and the taffeta coatee tworn with lingerie gowns), appear and reappear everywhere, and no one grows tired Of seeing them. Now the earliest models for fall have been launched, made of cloth and tafeta combined. so that we may depend up on Q continuance of favor for this at traetive fabric. The new suits and frocks are, in one color. the silk and wool exactly matched in shade
 The suit shown in the picture lays DO claim to novelty in design but is distinguished by being strictly in the mode. by its attractiyeness and use fitness. For the three tiered skirt may part company with the coatee for afternoon wear and join fortunes with blouse Of chiffon or lace or fine lingerie. It is made with a high waist line. and skirts like it are among the most popular of the ready-to-wear skirts shown by dry goods stores.
 This skirt is made of knife-plaited tafeta iounces over a short under skirt of light weight percaline. To make them flare a little the edges of the founces are finished with a corded hem That is. small cable cord is run in hem a quarter of an inch wide. Or they may be bound with a

ORDER HAD HIM "lN THE AlR'
soatswain's Mate Considerably Mud died by Command That Was
 Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is strong. As Chief Boatswain McCar. thy, U. S. N. has shown in an article in "The Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute" the adherence to eus- tom extends to the manner in which the boatswain's calls are varied for different occasions. and even, in the old navy, at least, it extended to the way Tn which the officers gave their orders.
 The language used in passing words was the vernaeular of the sailor rather than academic English. and the officer who did not know that usually got poor results from the boatswain's mate, who had his own ideas about passing the any unusual order.
 On one occasion. the officer of the morning watch gave this order: "Boatswain's mate, scrub down with rapidity.' This was a new one, and after causing the officer to repeat the order three times, the boatswain's mate become desperate. He grabbed a deck bucket. and forced it into the hand of the nearest apprentice. whom he started on his way with push that sent the youngster reeling, and fol lowed him with this shout:
 Go to the captain of the hold and ask him for a bucketful of it I never heard of anything to scrub deck with but sand and lime, and I don't know anything about these new .soogy- moodgies,' anyway. y."-Youth's Com panion.

CHAPTER XIV
An American Girl.

The Marquise d'Esclignac saw that she had to reckon with an American girl Those who know these girls know what their temper and mettle are, and that they are capable of the finest reverberation.
 Julia Redmond was very young Otherwise she would never have let Sabron go without one sign that she was not indifferent to him, and that she was rather bored with the idea of titles and fortunes. But she adored her aunt and saw, moreover, some thing else than ribbons and velvets in the makeup of the aunt. She saw deeper than the polish that a long Parisian lifetime had overlaid, and she loved what she saw. She respected her aunt, and knowing the older lady's point of view, had been timid and hesi- tating until now
 Now the American girl woke up, or rather asserted herself.
 My dear Julia, said the Marquise d'Esclignac, are you sure that all the timed things, the cocoa, and so forth, are on board? I did not see that box"
 Ma tante, returned her niece from her steamer chair, its the only piece of luggage l am sure about"
 At this response her aunt suffered a slight qualm for the fate of the rest of her luggage, and from her own chair in the shady part of the deck glanced toward her niece, whose eyes were on her book.
 What a practical girl she is" thought the Marquise d'Esclignac She seems ten years older than l. She is cut out to be the wife of a poor man. It is pity she should have fortune. Julia would have been charm ing as love in cottage. whereas
 She remembered her hotel on the Pare Monceau, her chateau by the Rhone. her villa at Biarritz-and sighed. She had not always been the Marquise d'Esclignac; she had been an American girl first and remembered that her maiden name had been De Puyster and that she had come from Schenectady originally. But for many years she had forgotten these things ! Near to Julia Redmond these last few 1 weeks all but courage and simplicity had seemed to have tarnish on it's wings.
 Sabron had not been found
 It was curious fact, and one that transpires now and then in the history of desert wars-the man is lost The captain of the cavalry was missing, and the only news of him was that he had fallen in an engagement and that his body had never been recovered. Several sorties had been made to find I him; the war department had done all that it could; he had disappeared from | the face of the desert and even his bones could not be found.
 From the moment that Julia Red mond had confessed her love for the Frenchman, Q courage had been born in her which never faltered, and her aunt seemed to have been infected by it. The marquise grew sentimental, found out that she was more docile and 1 impressionable than she had believed herself to be. and the veneer and eti. quette tho doubt never very real part of her) became less important than other things. During the last few weeks she had been more a De Puyster from Schenectady than the Marquise d'Esclignac.
