across the back
The waist is cut with V opening
at the neck In front and standing turn

is faced with black satin, which is
decorated at the edge with pattern

braid. Cuffs of the crepe are cut with
turnover upper edge which is also
faced with black satin and finished
at the edge with the soutache braid
as on the collar. A separate stock or
black satin with fiat bow in front fin-
ishes the neck.
The dress fastens with fiat pearl
buttons down the front. Covered but

Machine stitching with silk like the

1t requires about five yards of d0u-
BILE width goods for this dress. so that
the crepe and the satin cost not more
than four dollars, leaving sufficient
balance to pay for the buttons, braid
and silk thread, and also for the biz
of thin muslin that makes the under
bodice.

Wool crepes are about the most
worth while novelties in dress goods
for summer wear. They fill much the
same place as wool challie and nuns
yelling. being soft. light in weight and
durable. But the crepe surface is
prettier than a plain surface. The
crepes come in all colors and are
used for negligees in fancy shades
and for afternoon, evening and home
gowns.
This fabric is really elegant looking.
It runs about forty inches wide and
is sold at 70 cents yard, or even less.
1t does not take much reckoning TO
find that an ordinary dress requires
less than five dollars as an invest
ment for materials.

the picture is made in one piece, al

separately and mounted on light
underbodice OF thin muslin. This
bodice is made separately and fitted

crepe bodice is cut to extend over the
shoulder and is joined to the front
portion several inches below the

In the hall she paused for a moment,

were hanging. She slipped quietly be-

A moment or two later she heard
the professor leave the house. Very

crossed 1t with noiseless footsteps,
slipped into the study and moved
stealthily to the fireplace There was
a little heap of ashes in one distinct
spot She gathered them up in her
handkerchief and secreted 1t in her
dress and quietly left the house.
At Georgia square she found Laura
waiting for her, and a few minutes af-
terward the two girls were examining
the ashes with the aid of Quests mi
croscope. Among the little pile was
one fragment at the sight of which
they both exclaimed It was distinctly

Lenora started up and hastily put on
her coat and hat, which were still ly-

fessors," she announced.
What do you think you can do
there?" Laura asked.
Il am going to see If can find out
what that man burned" she replied.
Il will be back in an hour"
Laura walked with her as far as the
street car, and very soon afterward
Lenora found herself knocking at the
professors front door. Craig admitted
her almost at once. For a moment he
seemed to SILVER as he recognized her.
well, young lady, the professor
said, have you thought of something
can do?"
She took no notice of the chair to
which he pointed, and rested her hand
upon his shoulder.
Professor" she begged, "go and see
Mr.. Quest. He is in the Tombs prison.
1t would be the kindest thing anyone
could possibly do"
The professor glanced regretfully at
his manuscript, but he did not hest
tate. He rose promptly to his feet.
"If you think he would appreciate
it, will go at once" he decided.
Her face shone with gratitude.
That is really kind of you, profes-
sor," she declared.

glanced suddenly downward. frowned
slightly.

''Sit still, professor"
He darted into his room and reap

professor gave a gasp OF astonish-

tweed suit seemed to have been turned
inside out. There were no lapels now,
and 1t was buttoned up to his neck He
wore long white apron; peaked
cap and chinpiece of astonishing
naturalness had transformed him into
the semblance of Dutch grocer's boy.

He ran lightly down the steps and
into the kitchen. picked up a basket,

threw cloth over the top. Then he

opened the door with a master key
and secured it carefully, leaving one of
his men to guard 1t. He searched the
rooms on the ground floor and finally
assembled to Quests study. The pro-
fessor was still enjoying his cigar.
Say, where's Quest?" the inspector
asked promptly.
Have you let him out already" the
professor replied. in tone of mild
surprise. Il thought he was in the
Tombs prison"
The inspector pressed on without
answering. Every room in the house
was ransacked. Presently he came

their wounds they told their story.
Lured by stories of older boys that
man buried in the cemetery had a
huge sum of money in his grave, the
two little fellows went there to dig
for the treasure.
They selected 4 grave with huge
cross at the head. Shortly after they
had begun to dig at the foundation of

and the marker toppled over, pinning
them fast in the soft earth.
