for they received 1t with vociferous en-
core, TO which the young lady generously
replied with n music-hall song about "a
French lady from over the water" To-
ward the close of the applause which
marked the conclusion of this effort
Tavernake felt himself touched lightly
upon the arm. He turned round. BY his
side was standing the other dinner guest
who had shown some interest in Beatrice.
He was a man apparently of about 10
year of age, tall and broad-shouldered,
with black mustache, and dark. piercing
eyes. Unlike most of the guests, he wore
short dlnner-coat and black tie. from
which, and his slight accent, Tavernake
concluded that he was probably an
American.
Say, you'u forgive my speaking to
you" he said touching Tavernake on
the arm. "My name is Pritchard. 1 saw
you come in with the young lady who
was singing few minutes ago, and II

This article describes the latter half Of
the 1ttt and final figure IN the Paw
lowana In the beginning OF the ffth
figure the dancers msneuver into atti-
tudes which leave them facing each
other. each to the right of the other. The
lady's right arm extends under the right
OF her cavalier and her hand Is clasped
by the left OF her partner as 1t reaches
across his back. The cavalier also has
his right hand just above tho walstline
of HIS lady and both dancers stand on
both feet, each with the right advanced.
The dancers who assume this position
must either have or cultivate facility
for graceful poising. This position is the
one reached at tho conclusion of four
counts and leads into a plain promenade,
from which the first figure in the Paw
lowana is recommended.
To reach the poses each dancer must
move in forward direction past the
counts required for the evolution are

arms to their sides and take a forward
step with the left feet. make a half

next two counts take two additional
steps and arrange the bodies and arms

floor some II inches In advance of her
left, which is pointed, steps forward with
the left foot on the "one' count. The
step should be comfortably lengthy

Tayernake sat a few hours later at his
evening meal in the tiny sitting-room of
an apartment house in Chelsea. He wore
black tie, and although he had not yet
asplred to a dinner coat, the details or
his person and toilet showed signs or
new attention. Opposite to him was
Beatrice.

MAN JAILED

There was a man confined in the
county Jail accused of stealing dog
valued at S25 100 This man was brought
before ustice Mason last Saturday on
a charge OF grand larceny from Maude
Roome of Lawton.
It's fact that if one kills dog its
value is around $50 and if one steals
dog its value is always enough to give
the party the limit of the law. 1t is
very seldom one sees a dog of this value
and they are very scarce. We are at a
loss to understand who is we'll enough
