TREATED HIM LIKE LEPER
Characteristic French Method Of Pay
ing Inforrner for Services That
Made Him Forever Infamous.

Alexandra Dumas contributed to the
Curieux an anecdote told him by Henri
Didier, who was a deputy under the
Second empire. DIdier's father was
secretary to the ministry of the in
terror at the time when the Duchesse
de Berri was arrested at Nantes at
the end Of her attempt to raise the
country against Louis Philippe and IN
favor Of her son, the Count de Cham
bord. The traitor Deutz agreed to
sell to the government the secret Of
her hiding place for FIVE hundred thou
sand francs, and it was the elder DI-
dier's duty to pay the scoundrel for his
dirty work. He took his son Henri
into the Office and said: Look well
now at what passes, and never forget
1t. You will learn what a lache is,
and the method of paying him." Deutz
was then brought into the room where
Monsieur Didier was standing behind
his desk, on which were placed two
packets, each of which contained two
hundred and fifty thousand francs. As
Deutz neared the desk Monsieur Di-
der made sign to him to stop. Then,
taking pair Of tongs, he extended
the packets, one after the other, into
the hands open to receive them Not
a word was spoken. and, when the
transfer was effected, Monsieur Didier
pointed to the door.

What the" he calculated help

Bullet through the east loophole."
said Kynaston shortly. "The bucket
was in the line Of fire. Now, you've
done it, Mr.. Greaser! That's all the
water we had"
Hour after hour the defenders sat
beside their loopholes watching the
slow advance of their besiegers. The
Mexicans did not dare advance across
the open under the fire of the rifles
from the house. They were obviously
waiting for night to cover their real
approach. Kynaston dreaded what
the night would bring, for there was
no way to prevent the Mexicans from
getting to close range under cover Of
the darkness. Then, when the be-
siegers were within striking distance,
1t would be difficult indeed for the de-
tenders to reply to the overwhelming
intensity of the fire that would be
opened upon the house so soon as day
light should come.
While Kynaston was cudgeling his
brains to find some solution to the
problem he saw old Wilkes pottering
about the house, carefully gathering
up all the empty tin cans. These the
old man strung on piece of rawhide
that had been brought to the house to
be made into a lariat. His curiosity
thoroughly aroused, Kynaston asked:
What are you doing with that,
Mr.. Wilkes?"
Cant git no mule-bells," said the
old man sententiously; they're all in
the stables. So I'm aimin' to string
all these cans on a piece of rope an
hang 'em across the front an back
roads after dark Anybody stumblin'
against 'em Il rattle 'em, an that II
give us warnin'."
That's what I've been trying to
think of! Now, If we only had some
water!"
There was no water; and the whole
garrison knew it. For hours the de-
tenders, sticking close to the loop
holes, knew thirst-grimy, dry-eyed

DON'T ovERWORK YOUR RAZOR.
As All BARRIERS Know, Rest Is Abso-
IuteIy Necessary to Keep Blade
in Proper Condition.

BARRIERS maintain that razor gets
tired and is improved after rest. Any
razor, after constant use, while not ex-
actly becoming dull, grows sluggish
and fails to work as smoothly as when
it has lain for a few weeks without
work.
Constant use and continued sharp
ening put the molecules in a razor's
blade in sluggish condition, and it is
impossible to get the same edge as
when the steel has not been in use
for some time. When the razor lies
idle and the electric current is passing

thirst that froze the smile on the lips
and cracked the corners of the mouth.
A shot from the corral smacked
against the rear wall of the house.
InstinctiYely the man behind the door
post took cover. A moment after the
shot was fireds man came forward
from the corral, displaying a dirty
handkerchief on the end of stick.
Mr.. Wilkes spoke excitedly:
Don't you do it! Anybody that
goes out here now amt got no sense.
They'll get you into the open and
shoot you down. Don't pay no atten-
tion to 'eml"
You must recognize it," said KY
naston. Come on, Upton, we'll see
what they want"
But little time was given. There
came a crack from the right, and a
bullet whizzed uncomfortably close to
Kynaston's shoulder, landing with a
vicious whit in the mass Of clay chink-
ing that formed the chimney. Down
came the half-baked stuff with rattle.
Mr.. Wilkes, thrusting his rife
through a crack between two of the
logs, fired two shots in rapid success
sion.
You'll walk home, consarn you, If
you go at ALI" he growled.
Kynaston saw two Of their horses
down in the dust Of the corral. A
storm of curses came from the edge
OF the clearing.
"See that you two keep under
cover" The old man grinned gel
low-toothed grin over his shoulder at
the defenders.
Darkness fell over the little valley
With the coming OF the night the fears
Of the little garrison increased.
Just as like as not they'll try to
sneak up and set FIRE to the house"

while the horses were struggling to

After glance through the assort'
ments of blouses and neckwear, organ
die, crepe georgette and crepe de
chine are firmly impressed upon the
mind in materials. Hemstitching, eye
let work and embroidery and fash
ion for contrasting colors In trimmings
have developed into the strongest fea-
lures in the decoration Of summer
blouses and neckwear. There is no
more to be said, for the pretty story
of these summer styles is finished.
The Port Gibson reveille., 1916-07-27

A cape-collar and two collars with
jabots are pictured here. The cape
collar is of white organdie with seal
loped and embroidered edge and a
band Of hemstitching. Between the
hemstitching and the edge there are
little wreaths Of embroidered BIOS
SONS centered with eyelet work.
The collars with jabots are made Of
white crepe de chine, finished with pi-
cot edges and hemstitching. In one
of them large embroidered dots are
done in color, Copenhagen blue and
light green being among the favorites.
This collar opens in a long point at the
front, and the jabot is gathered to
band. The other collar is an effective
pattern for either organdie or crepe.
The frills are plated and finished
with picot-edge. The Y opening at the
throat is short and the jabOt faStens

any number of these hats in the last

blue, purple or yellow hues, are not
bright tones, but eolors that, while not

hats are backed BY a fine silk, which

Frocks Of white georgette continue
to delight those who find It necessary
to supplement the summer wardrobe
with an. extra dress or so. Women
who are discriminating find in the re-
finement Of this sheer, soft fabric, in
white especially, charm that is not
to be resisted. The designer Of the
pretty model shown had midsummer
days in mind and trimmed it with the
coolest-looking of all color combina-
tions. It is banded with green and
white striped satin, and the green Is
IN a vivid and brilliant shade.
The skirt is plain, gathered In at
the waist line and straight hanging.
The Port Gibson reveille., 1916-07-27

A wide border of the striped satin I'm
ishes the bottom, and narrow bands of
1t are placed above the border. They
are all cut on the bias Of the goods
and finished with tiny machine-stitch-
ed hens. Besides their decorative
value these bands give to the
skirt the required flare at the bottom.
The bodice Is plain and full, fin
lshed with a cape collar opening in
v at the front. The sleeves are full
and long. with shaped, fiaring cuffs
that extend over the hands. They are
Joined to the sleeves with narrow
bands of satin. The bodice and skirt
are in one piece and Joined by a
wide girdle of the striped satin.
A slip of white taffeta is worn un-
der this frock, and the cool sheen Of
the silk is one of the charms of the
frOck.

proves to be a durable material. A
