steadily urged Kazan on to greater ef-
fort, while his own strength at the end
of the traces grew less.
1t had begun to storm when Pierre
stopped to build a fire at noon. The
snow fell straight down in white de-
lugc so thick that it hid the tree

close up to him with the baby in her
arms. He waited only an hour, and

again. and buckled the straps once
more about his own waist. In the silent
gloom that was almost night Pierre
carried his compass in his hand, and at
last, late in the afternoon, they came
to break in the timber line, and
ahead of them lay a plain, across
which Radisson pointed an exultant
hand.
"There's the river, JOAN" he said,
his voice faint and husky. eve can
camp here now and wait for the storm
to pass"
Under a thick clump of spruce he
put up the tent, and then began gather
ing fire wood Joan helped him. AS
soor as they had boiled coffee and
eaten a supper Of meat and toasted
biscuits, Joan went into the tent and
dropped exhausted on her thick bed of
halsam boughs, wrapping herself and
the baby up close in the skins and
blankets. Tonight she had no word for
Kazan. And Pierre was glad that she
was too tired to sit beside the fire
and talk. And yet
Kazan's alert eyes saw Pierre start
suddenly. He rose from his seat on
the sledge and went to the tent. He
drew back the flap and thrust in his
head and shoulders.

" almost, father. Won't you please

Pierre laughed softly. In the dark.

Pierre dropped the tent flap and re-
turned to the fire. He staggered as ne
walked.
Good night, boy he said Guess
I'd better go in with the kids. TWO
days more - forty miles - two days
Kazan watched him as he entered
the tent. He laid his weight against
the end of his chain until the collar
shut off his wind. His legs and back
twitched. In that tent where Rad1sson
had gone were Joan and the baby. He
knew that Pierre would not hurt them,
/, but he knew also that with Pierre Rad
tsson something terrible and 1mpend-
( ing was lowering very near to them.
He wanted the man outside by the
! fire - where he could lie still and
watch him.
In the tent there was silence. Near
I er to him than before came Gray
VOLTS cry. Each night she was call
ing earlier, and coming closer to the
camp. He wanted her very near to
him tonight, but he did not even
whine in response. He dared not
break that strange silence in the tent.
He lay still for a long time, tired and
lame from the days journey, but sleep
less. The fire burned lower; the wind
IN the tree tops died away; and the
thick gray clouds rolled like massive
| curtain from under the skies. The
stars began to glow white and metallic
and from far in the north there came
family crisping moaning sound. like
steel sleigh runners running over
frosty snow = the mysterious mono
tone Of the Northern lights. After
that 1t grew steadily and swiftly
colder
Tonight Gray Wolf did not compass
herself by the direction of the wind.
She followed like a sneaking shadow
over the trail Pierre Radisson had
made, and when Kazan heard her
again, long after midnight, he lay with
his head erect, and his body rigid, save
for curious twitching Of the muscles.
There was new note in Gray VOLTS
voice, wailing note in which there
was more than the mate call. 1t was
The Message. And at the sound OF 1t
Kazan rose from out of his silence and
his fear, and with his head turned
starlight up to the sky he howled as the
wild dogs of the north howled before
the tepees of masters who are newly
dead.
Pierre Radisson was dead.

simple dress, and the idea of the col

ing carried out for winter in failles
and brocades, striped and figured
velvets. Chemisettes of pale pink
faille, made with high, unlined, un.
boned collars, butoning at the side
and wnkling about the throat like a
mousequetaire glove, are worn with
gowns of serge or velvet. The neck
line of the dress is usually rounded
in an old-fashioned- curve and finished
with a straight band Of the material.
At one of the fall openings in Paris
a chiffon afternoon frock was trim

following this idea comes a frock OF

notions along this line are the con-

He did not finish. He was choking
back one of those tearing coughs when
the tent flap dropped behind him. ka-
IAN lay stiff and alert, his eyes filled
with strange anxiety. He did not
stronger than ever there hung that op-
pressive mystery in the air about him,
and it seemed to be part OF Pierre.
Three times that night he heard
faithful Gray Wolf calling for him
deep in. the forest, and each time he
answered her. Toward dawn she came
in close to camp Once he caught the
scent Of her when she circled; around
in the wind, and he tugged and whined
at the end of his chain, hoping that
she would come in and lie down at his
side But no sooner had Radisson
moved in the tent than Gray Wolf was
gone. The mans face was thinner and
his eyes were redder this morning. His
cought was not, so loud or So rending.
It was like wheeze, as If something
had given way inside, and before the
girl came out he clutched his hands
often at his throat. Ioan's face whiten-
ed when she saw him. Anxiety gave
way to fear in her eyes. Pierre Raids
son laughed when she flung her arms
about him, and coughed to prove that
what he said was true.

It was a cold bleak dark day that fol-
lowed, and through it Kazan and the
man tugged at the fore of the sledge,
with Joan following in the trail behind.
Kazan's wound no longer hurt him. He
pulled steadily with all his splendid
strength, and the man never dashed
him once, but patted him with his nit
tened hand on head and back. The
day grew steadily darker and in the
tops of the trees there was the low
moaning of a storm.

storm did not drive Pierre Radisson in.

TT IS only when too much fat is
considered as a disease and
L treated as such, that there IS
any hope Of reducing; and the first
aid, of course, is to study the nature
and cause Of the disease Of over
abundant flesh.
First Of all, fat is laid on particle
by particle, and it is long time IN
coming-reduction therefore must
be equally slow, wearing away and
absorbing of the fatty parts, or the
flesh that has stretched to cover the
increasing bulk will hang In loose
and flabby folds, and the woman will
look years and years older. Most fat
women live in closed rooms, breath
ing air that has been breathed be-
fore, they move about comparatively
little and their minds are not active
ly working all the time.
This is the rule. The exceptions
of course may be counted by thou
sands, but the rule holds good never
theless. However, there Is always a
chance to take of the worst OF the
extra flesh.
First Dy dieting, eliminating most
fatty foods, practically all sweets,
and all in between meal titbfts.
Again, there is vigorous exercise,
as mentioned in another article here
some while back.
And then, there is rolling. Some
while back, the idea came out that II
a woman laid on the floor and rolled
up and down the room it would re-
duce her, and it became quite a pop
ular pastime-it may even have done
some good. But rolling a plain
wooden rolling pin over the fatty
parts Of the body by its friction and
weight will crush and destroy the
particles Of useless flesh. The back
of the shoulder Is one Of the pref
tiest parts of the body If it Is slim
and flat, one Of the ugliest II 1t Is
too fleshy. And rolling rolling pin
over the shoulders, or having 1t done
for one, is an excellent remedy.

New York, Oct 16.-Winter fash
ions have been fully settled upon and
it is gratifying to say that for many
a season, If ever, they have not been
as attractive as they are this year.
There is a charming variety. Fabrics
are rich both in quality and coloring,
trimmings are artistic, and designs
are simplicity itself.
Trimming Notes.
The simple serge and gabardine
frocks, so much favored for all day
time occasions, are trimmed effective
ly with braid, designs in soutache,
Hercules, and novelty braidings; but
the touches that render them distinc-
tive are the curious color notes that
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1915-10-19

are being introduced for contrast on
many Of the smart new French
models.
Pink silk embroidery is often seen
on frocks of dark blue serge, and a
dull reseda embroidery is unusual
ly smart on dark blue: this wool en-
broidery is one of the new notions Of
the winter; it appears on collars,
cuffs. girdles, and trimming bands of
frocks, coats and blouses. Heavy wool
worked out in a rib effect to initiate
wide Hercules braid, Is a detail OF
many of the imported serge and CAB
ardine dresses. The various conven'
tionalized soutache patterns on a
foundation of net or chiffon, often
edged with a band of flat silk braid
or an edge OF fur, Is much In vogue
for trimming the more dressy frocks;
the wide braids, in numbcrless at
tractive designs, are popular as well.
The standing soutache designs are Ia
vored for yokes and chemisettes and
for the half belt 50 much feature
OF the smart panel Princess dress.
The wide braids are often used for an
entire panel or yoke on a skirt; also
for cuffs, and the standing band col
lars which appear on so many OF
these cloth dresses.
Cape Collars and Chokers.
Another quaint and becoming detail
of these dark cloth dresses is the
collar. Many of the plain redingotte
serge gowns are made with single or
double cape collars. Colored collars
of all descriptions are being worn;
turnover collars of colored velvet add
a smart touch to the choker of the
