almost covers this lower section

odd but effective feature of summer
modes. Simplicity is the marked
tendency in all these new gowns.

crude khaki, beige, sand and the nu'

The high waistline and the norm
al one has taken the place of the
moyen age line in many of the mod

expressed in the girdle which comes
down over the hips.
The short round and pointed bus
ques are combined with fuTy, frill-

shown a dress made of striped taf-
feta. The short waist is round, with
a slight point directly in the front.
The square Callot neck is very
much more becoming line at the neck
than the straight Dutch or round
neck. The full skirt is especially at
tractiye and "summery" with dufles
which dip in the front and lack and
are about knee length at the sides.
For some time the corset makers
have been making their corsets to
curve in a little at the sides, ana
give the slightly smaller waist effect,
and then they added little to the
height of the corset and added in
serts of elastic to the backs and the
fronts. Some of the very newest
models which are being sent out to
try the market are undoubtedly pinch
ing the fronts a trifle. 1t is hard to
tell whether this Is a forerunner OF
what we may expect in small waists
or merely compromise in order TO
take care of such q contingency II

Partisan sketches show strong
tendency toward straight girdles'
which are worn at the normal waist
line. These are more becoming to
the waist that is "nipped" in trihe
than the one which is straight up and
down.
The dainty muslin frocks, which
are already being made for summer

Belief in the virtue of the mad

from the days when the causes OF dis
eases were unknown-when most dis
eases were supposed to be caused by
evil spirits or other equally intangible
things. We know now that the poi

due to toxin injected into the blood,
and that hydrophobia is the result OF

There is just one way in which the
application Of a maidstone might be
beneficial. If it were boiled in milk
and applied to the wound made by a
mad dog, piping hot, It might eau

possible effect, except in the mind of
the victim. But there are several

Writing at High Speed.

ing is fit to be printed that has not
been written twice over"
Nothing? Not even the Waverley
novels?
The more rapid method is not al
ways and altogether fatal to distin-
guished writing. AS there are orators
who capture their most telling phrases
when face to face with an audience, so
here are writer's to whom the happy
thought and the exact word come most
readily when the printer is clamoring
for copyslips.
At any rate, the demand for high
speed in composition saves man from
the over-e1aboration, the finicky search
for the unconventional, which makes
some ingeniously fashioned pages al
most unreliable.

His mumbling voice penetrated my

their faces were swollen as mine was.
They, too, were in fear of death.
I staggered to my feet, looked
down toward the sea, and saw the
"Nymph" just entering the harbor.
And so great was the revufsion OF
my feeling that I forgot the deadly
disease which had laid hold of me.
I forgot the danger of infection and
made my way down the hill, half de-
lirious still, all my purposes set upon

He began to pace the room enthusi-
astically, swinging his long arms like

power in him, as the bald head con-
tanned superhuman ingenuity.

After breakfast, when he had
thawed out a little, he took me into
his laboratory, which was better
equipped than l had expected. There
was large table, on which he had
laid out his specimens, his micro
scopes, test tubes and slides. Upon
the floor a concoction of broth was
boiling over an alcohol lamp. There
was cold jellied bouillon in large
jar, which, he informed me, he him
self had prepared.

planned Course the little devil! Some

fussing with the slides. Presently
he turned to me abruptly.
You are acquainted with my plans,
Herr Won Elsmer?" he inquired.

why I have como here"

floor, swinging his long, gorillalike

Celts and occupied an empty land.
Very well. The modern world Is too
squeamish to tolerate wholesale
slaughter. But if we can in
troduce a germ which will wipe
out the inhabitants of the island with
out leaving one survivor? A germ
which will kill infallibly? A germ
which shall instill it's virus into every
man, woman and child, without excep-
ton? Eth, Herr Won Elsmer?"
The horror of the conception fas-
tened itself on me. l understood now
that this fiend was experimenting
with such a germ in Socotra, with a
view to devastating the island as an
experiment. If he succeeded he would
repeat the procedure in England.
But is there such germ?' I asked,
restraining my impulse to draw my re-
volver and destroy him. "And how
will you procure it,"
There is such germ, Herr Won
Elsmer," he answered, land it can be
procured. It is the pneumonia plague.
Not a bubonic, observe, from which
full fifty per cent recover under IA
vorable circumstances, but the pneu-
monte, which, during the late epidem-
ic in Manchuria, slew exactly one hun
dred per cent of those whom it at
tackled. Nobody who was Infected
with it survived. Unfortunately we
do not know where to find the germ,
for the disease disappears periodical

is one Of it's quiescent periods"
"Then how can you obtain it, Feb
met Effendi?"

He poured a drop of bouillon from

pushed it beneath the microscope.

see a multitude of tiny organisms.
