the promontory.
Go on" he ordered, forcing her to
go ahead of him.
They came finally to a small hut
on a cliff overlooking the real har-
Dor.
Enter" commanded Del Mar.
Still meekly, she obeyed.
Del Mar seized her. and before she
knew it he had her bound and
gagged.
Down in the little office our men
continued to search for the secret
exit.
Here's a place that gives an
echo" shouted one of them.
AS he found the secret trap and
threw IT open. the hermit stripped

jumped in. followed by Woodward,
myself and the soldiers.
Upward we climbed until at last we
came to the opening. There we paused
and looked about Where was Del
Mar? Where was Elaine ? We could
see no trace of them.
Finally. however. Arnold discovered
the trail in the grass and we fol-
lowed him slowly picking up the
tracks.
Knowing that the submarine would
cruise about and wait for him. Del
Mar decided to leave Elaine in the
hut while he went out and searched
for boat in which to look for the sub
marine.
Coming out of the hut, he gazed
about and moved off cautiously.
Stealthily he went down TO the shore
and there looked up aud down in
tently.
A short distance away from him
was pier in the process of construc-

from cable car that ran out on the
pier on a little construction railway,
as well as other material with which
to fill in the pier. At the end of the
dock lay power boat, moored evil

The workmen had Just finished un-
loading carful and were climbing
back on, the empty car, which looked
as If 1t had once been trolley. AS
Del Mar looked over the scene of ac-
tivity, he caught sight of the power
boat.
"Just what want" he muttered to
himself. Il must get Elaine. 1 can
get away in that"
The workmen signaled to the en-
gineer above and the car ran up the
wharf and up an incline at the shore
end.
The moment the car disappeared
Del Mar hurried away in the direction
he had come.
At the top of the grade, he noticed,
was donkey engine which operated
the cable that drew the car up from
the dock, and at the top of the in
cline was a huge pile of material.
The car had been drawn up to the
top of the grade by this time There
the engineer who operated the engine
stopped it.
Just then the whistle blew for the
noon hour. The men quit work and
went to get their dinner pals. while
the engineer started to draw the fire.
Beside the engine. he began to chop
some wood, while the car was held at
the top of the grade by the cable.
In our pursuit we came at last in
sight of a lonely hut. Evidently that
must be rendezvous OF Del Mar. But
was he there? Was Elaine there ?
We must see first.

debating what was the best thing to
do, who should appear hurrying up
the hill but Del Mar himself. going to-

The submarine saw it coming now.
But it was too late 1t could not turn;
it could not submerge in time.
A terrific explosion followed as the
torpedo came in contact with the boat,
throwing column of water high in
the air. A yawning hole was blown
in the very side of the submarine.
| One could see the water rush in
Inside, Del Mar and his men were
now panic-stricken. Some of them
desperately tried to plug the hole.
But it was hopeless. Others fell, faint
ing, from the poisonous gases that
were developed.
OF them all, Del Mars was the only
cool head.
He realized that all was over.
There was nothing left to do but what
other submarine heroes had done in
better causes. He seized a piece of
paper and hastily wrote:

Once he paused. That was when he

Again he paused as he plodded up,

marked the debacle of Del Mar.

Odd Puffs

HERE are two novel ways of dis
 gutsing the ever essential powder puff. The first can be made of ribbon about four inches wide and eight or nine inches long, the selvage edges folded and sewed together, except for about two inches at the center, making a strip of double silk nine inches long and two inches wide. Now gather each end up tightly and attach a, silk tassel the same shade or contrasting with the color of the ribbon. Slip two ivory rings over the little bag and you have an old fashioned purse just like grand mother used for her pennies, but which VOL will use to hold in one end a pow der puff, very dinninutive, but quite adequate, and in the other end a mir roY. of the same dimensions.
 This little vanity. bag can be carried out in the shades of the favorfte even ing gown and makes a dainty and in conspicuous accessory for the carrying of the evenings ammunition. The sec ond puff is for the dressing table and is in the shape of a bisque baller1na, with voIurninous ma1ines skirts, who Spoises lightly atop of a glass powder jar. The puff is attached in some mys- terious manner to the little bisque body and the malines skirts act as a pretty ornament and a practical cover for the powder beneath. They can easily be renewed from time to time as they become soiled or mussed.

DAINTY FLOWERS OF LACE.

ONE of the novelties, of the season is
 the small, exceedingly dainty flower made of fine valenciennes lace. As a rule these flowers take the shape of tiny roses, and they are co1ored by hand. One has to look very close be- fore one can realize that these roses are really made of lace. The petals are perfectly formed, ana even the leaves. On small sailor hats, covered with silk or suede, wreaths of these lace flowers are effective or as a bor- der for a close fitting turban
 Hat crowns are growing visibly wider and higher. Some of the very new toques show torpedo crowns of alarm ing proportions-wide and exaggerat- edly long, High crowns appear on small flat brimmed hats of 1880 design, and even the ordinary sailor shape has a crown which is important looking.
 Apropos of sailor hats, the latest mod els are covered with white suede and trimmed with gardenias and scarlet japonica or gardenias and violet pan sies- These suede hats have soft silk crowns and narrow flat brims.

Sing Ho For the Crocheted Hat

small children and a small or medium sailor for their elders. These shapes are the easiest kinds to cover. Mercer 1zed cotton that looks like silk is used for the hats, working up with @ bone crochet needle. The work is com menced in the middle of the crown with a short chain stitch joined, then using triple crochet throughout. If the crown of the hat is round the work is in creased regularly all the way around until the outer edge of the crown is reached. then the crochet is straight until it meets the base of the crown when the increasing begins again to cover the brin. With the shape before one as guide it is impossible to go wrong. l.
 Should the crown of the hat be oval one starts out as she would if making a table mat to be used under a platter. and the work follows the same direc- ton in regard to increase | The thread for working comes in black, white and delicate coIors so l hats can be made to match or harmo- nfze with the dress worn. The trim ming is extremely simple. Very often 1 it is nothing more than a. ribbon rose. l such as one can pick up for a quarter
 or so, or a band of black velvet with
 streamers down the back will be caught
 in the front with spray of forgetrne-
 nots.
 Sometimes the frame is not entirely covered with the crochet. The crown
 may be of silk or moire and only the
 upper brim and the side of the crown
 show the crochet. Again, the entire crown will be covered with the fancy work and the brim be entirely of silk
 Invariably the underbrim is faced with l silk or other fabric.

KITCHEN HELPS.

A SIMPLE way to bleach handlxer-
 - chiefs, when it is not convenient to hang them out of doors, is to wash and allow them to soak overnight in the water in which a little cream of tartar has been dissolved.
 Old stains may be removed from leather by applying powdered pipe clay mixed with water to the consistency of a paste. Allow the paste to remain on the leather for several hours; then brush off. Repeat if the stain is not entirely removed the first time.
 A piece of velvet is a fine cleaner for brass, and for polishing silverware it is better than chamois. It quickly removes dust from woodwork, and if used to rub the stove after it has been bIacked it will produce a high polish. There is nothing better to dust a felt hat, and silk dresses and other silk articles should always be dusted with it.

YtHOSH women who are expert at
 crochet may become the family uafllipers this year if they will and feel quite certain of success too.
 The very latest hat of the season has a covering of crochet worked out in the stitch that is used foT the infants cap. As every one is wearing this bit of millinery, from babies to their grand- mothers, it is safe to say the crocheting member of the family is going to be kept busy It is claimed that for mo- tortng g crochet bonnet lined with silk makes an ideal head covering. It is very light, is of sufficient warmth and never becomes untidy looking or do1Edy.
 To start with, one buys frame, usually the small mushroom shape for

is deep and circular and fitted without gathers.
 Petticoat manufacturers are rejoic- ing that the good old times are being revived, meaning thereby the prospect that handsome petticoats of brocaded silk trimmed with real lace and hand wrought motifs which in the o1den days retailed for not less than $35 may again come into their own. They real ize that it is a, long cry from the sleazy silk petticoat that woman at present may acquire for something less than $2 to the aristocratic jupon of a period when garments were bought for their intrinsic worth and not to satisfy a. passing fashion whirn.
 Very likely a compromise between the two qualities and the two prices will be effected and that the very cheap petticoat will be replaced by something of more substantial worth which will bring a little more glory and wealth to the coffers of both the manufactures and the retailer. Sufficient for the day is the knowledge that the fashionable woman is taking interest at all in this most feminine of all garments. It is an encouraging sign in the right direction.
 Since many of the new skirts have no hem whatever, but are merely bound with tailored braid. it is better to have the pettfcoat which one will wear with her trotteur trimmed with a hat1y p1aited hounce, and one or two of these will be found sufficient for the foundation demand. On the other hand, the petticoat selected for wear with the evening frock may be quite fluffy in it's ruf1e adornment and voIurninous in it's width. It is a good idea to have it made of chiffon cloth
 It is a mistake to buy a petticoat that is too long with the thought of shortening it by inserting a tuck or by cutting it off at the top. If the tuck Is a narrow one it does not matter so much, but it is difficult to put in a wide tuck and keep the line smooth, and it is far more difficult to ref1t the top after four or five inches have been cut away.

New Pads In Fastenines

NEW aus HI 0SLGlllABRS WHERE are so many tricks in tha
 trade of clothes. Sometimes they interest women more than the impor- tant features. There is that new meth cd of lacing up a frock in the middle of the back It lis done by a velvet cord through la4ge round buttOnhOles that are heavily overcast. At the end of the cord are short spikes of cut jet
 The idea was brought out in black taffetas afternoon gown, but it has been copied in all kinds of materials. It is especially effective on the bodice that has that new turtle tail in the back that goes outside the skirt ana drops down for a space of five inches. It is a good feature for linen froczss and one such gown in oyster white is laced with blue velvet ribbon through blue buttonholes. finished with small silver spikes.
 Another new trick in fashions in fastening a gown is the use of im- mense hooks and eyes covered with a material in the same color as the frock or to contrast with it These are used in front or back. preferably in front.
 On gown of black silk they are covered with white satin, and there are a white satin collar and cuffs to carry out the color scheme. The smart woman who wore this froclz completed the idea by an oblong tUrban of white satin with a jet ornament and white uppers to her black slippers.

first sight, is that of the new silk deck
 ed sticks which theA fashionable shops provide for women to carry with their new clothes. Slowly but surely the fad of the cane or walking stick is coming into favor with women. For several seasons the tailor made girl has liked to borrow her brothers cane. which she swings as she walks with a creditab1e semblance of masculine swagger. But the cane sheathed in silk wrappings or gayly decorated with ribbons and nosegays is a return to the fashions of old European court life which mascu-

line America regards with little favor.
 The first frock shown, an afternoon creation, exemplif1es the popular liking for a combination of fabrics. A black satin basque is drawn in at the waist line by double cords of satin. The sleeves are of black chiffon finished with a cuff of satin and double frin of chiffon. The neck is finished by medici collar of white lace.
 The skirt is of striped black and white satin. It is modish1y f1aring and mod erately short and is laced down the front in quite the most novel way

 Next is pictured a silk sweater of rose color, made with a deep yoke, out lined by a deep tuck at its lower edge. A wide belt extends from a panel at the back in Norfolk fashion The collar is convertible.
 The dragon hy'' gown of blue net and blue motre tissue illustrates one variety of silhouette which is still mod ish. Short and closely gathered, the skirt consists of many layers of the net topping the shimmering blue foun- dation, over which roses of chiffon are

 Next is shown a gown which will at. test to the fact that the tunic is dying hard. In fact, ultra fashionables to the contrary, some of the prettiest gowns of the season are made with tunics.

 A woman's club has recently passed a resolution urging all it's members in the name. of womanly de1icacy and modesty to refuse to wear any skirt upon the street which is more than four inches from the ground. Other clubs are also considering the matter. Six women of New Yorlx's most exclu- sive set are credited with a similar eff fort toward discountenancing the re- turn of the crino1ine.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.


 When a. glass tube is necessary for the patient who cannot sit up to drink from a cup, a stick of macaronf will serve admira- bIy if the other is not at hand. It is also an excellent method to induce a. child to drink milk when otherwise it might be re- fused.
 To remove ink stains from mahogany furniture put a, few drops of spirits of hitter into a teaspoonfu1 of water, touch the spot with a feather dipped in the fluid and the ink will disap- pear.
 When mending broken china stand 1t to "set,' in a large box of sawdust. By so doing the article can be placed fin any de- sired position, it's own weight holding the piece steady while the cement is hardening.
 Sandwiches which are not to be used for some hours after waFd should be placed in an earthen receptacle tightly GOV cred. Set the vessel in a pan of cold water and the sandwiches will keep moist and fresh for hours.

 An ordinary five cent fire shovel with it's sides dattened out is a splendid device for lift ing pans, etc. to and from the oven. This will obviate the ne- cessity of handling them and will prevent many burns.
