CHAPTER XVI.
Contains Elma,s Story.

Before me stood my love. a slim,
tragic. rather wan figure in a heavy
dark travelling coat and felt toque,
her sweet lips parted and a look OF be-
wildered amazement upon her coun-
tenance as / burst in so suddenly
upon her.
In silence / grasped her tiny black
gloved hand. and then, also in silence,
raised it passionately to my eager
lips. Her soft, dark ~eyes-those eyes
that spoke although she was mute
met mine, and in them was a look
that | had never seen there before-a
look which as plainly as any words
told me that my wild fevered passion
was r~eciprocated.
She gazed beyond into the room
where the others had assembled, and
then looked at me inquiringly, where
upon | led her forward to where they
were, and Muriel fell upon her and
kissed her with tears streaming from
her eyes.

prefer blowing to war and statecraft,
but they are not able to follow their
bent. They are possessed Of an In
satiable desire to be at work In what
ever their line may be. Those who
conquer nations and found empires
are not moved by ambition. They
are moved by the enormous force Of
vitality which struggles within them
and must find 8 way out. Cicero was

The city OF Cleveland proposes to
encourage friendliness toward birds,
and no one will believe It misdirected

mic and sentimental, OF bringing back
our native song birds in Is large num-

and button. The patch pockets leave
a turnover flap, and the new order OF
things in belts is recognized. The col
lar may be turned up close about the
neck if required.
Because this is a sweater for real
comfort in cool days it is rather heavy.
Its usefulness begins with fall, n
continues to the coming Of another
summer, for it reinforces the too light
wrap in the depths Of winter. 1t is
an excellent model to choose for the
young girl to wear to school during
the autumn months, and nothing could
be better designed or arranged for
sports wear.
Sweaters of wool stand the rough
handling which they are likely to get
from young people, and continue to
look none the worse for it. Now that
they are made in beautiful colors and
with so much attention to style, the
field of their usefulness is wonderfully
increased.

Andrew Setzinger. a Pittsburgh po-
liceman, has invented a shock absorb
err for ~battleships and other armored
vessels. BY his method the armor
plate is lined with a rubberlike sub
stance, thickly studded, and made by
a process which he has invented.
According to Mr.. Setzinger. when
a ~projectile penetrates the armor
plate. even should Il pass through
into the ship, the hole cut out will
close up through the action Of the
rubberlike substance, which vulcan

OF all things, millinery requires
careful choosing, and, after it is
bought, the hat requires careful plac-
ing on the head, il it is to fulfill its
destiny. According to an old millin-
cry maxim that destiny is to improve
the appearance of the wearer. you
must look better with your hat than
without it"-that is the exacting test
to which each new mode is to be sub
jected.
The three new models for fall,
which appear here, are types that will
repay a little study or the part Of
those who consider things before buy
ing them. They include a small tur-
ban, a turban with extension crown
which forms a halo brim, and one of
the graceful wide-brimmed hats to
which fashion is extending welcom-
ing hands.
Quite a number Of these wide.
brimmed hats are shaped with brims
turning upward at the back. This has
brought in the underbrim trimming
again and 1t is not confined to wide
brimmed shapes. Short, curling
ostrich plumes fit into the trimming
OF the underbrim in the most graceful
way.
The small turban is made Of corded

Here is another incident related by
an English soldier:

silk, and would be equally effective in
panne velvet. The material is covered
with corded tucks and serves for the
covering Of the hat and for its trim
ming. The edges are finished with a
silver tinsel braid which has the effect
Of needlework. 1t looks like closest
overcast stitches, and needlework
decoration is a feature of the new fall
millinery.
The turban with extension crown is
made Of black velvet and white
chiffon. A bead work trims
the front and is made entirely Of
white beads.
The soft and graceful brim Of the
third hat bespeaks for it., and for
many others OF the same character,
first place in the favor Of young
women. 1t is made Of velvet in black
or one OF the dark shades of fash
ionable co1ors. The trimming is of
white fancy ostrich and looks like a
bit Of fireworks, done in frost. It
throws its sprays in front Of the left
eye OF the with an abandon I'M
known to ornaments hitherto. But It
is strong in the knowledge that 1t is
less in the way Of vision than many a

Lukesavich said that the complainant is his cousin and his store had been broken into several times lately. He hired Sabin to watch the store on several nights and then refused to pay him. It was during the argument over pay that Sabin told his cousin a few things that, did not please him

Several have been asked why they do

we would have to pay taxes AS it is,
each Indian who is not able to work,
receives ratiOns from the government.
Each one gets twenty pounds Of salt
pork, fifteen pounds OF flour and some
beans, sugar and coffee every four
weeks. 1t may be true that they have
a big feast and eat all this up in a

of the government? Is it the duty Of
the government to serve the meals
