LIKE SEELEY AND NELLlGAN
Two Coaches Have Held Their Places
For Lengthy Periods-Former

Charles F. Seeley at Williams col

institutions, have held their places as
coaches probably longer than any
other two coaches in the eastern
states. When Seeley recently entered

But Dupont was not at home. When
they failed to find him either In the
store or the living rooms, Marie
stepped to the door for another look
at the Indians, and then calmly went in
to prepare a noon dinner.
Vandervyn sauntered over to the Of

bear, out back of the warehouse, drift
ing unObtrusively from one group of
Indians to another. Hardy was at his
desk in the office, intent on the gov
eminent treaty with the tribe.
At noon, as the head chief of the
tribe had not yet arrived, Hardy and
Vandervyn started to 60 for their mid
day meal. AS they rounded Hardy's
cabin, they were overtaken by Dupont,
who came from the direction of the
stable. His face was as stolid as the
faces of the chiefs and headmen
among whom he had passed.
'Well, Jake, what's the good word?"
inquired Vandervyn.
The trader gloomily shook his head.

Sunrise found Vandervyn riding
down the valley on his nimble-fOOted
pinto. He left the road and cantered
across into the bend where Redbear
had pointed out his new house to
Hardy. When Vandervyn rode up.
Redbear was shoveling clay upon the
uncovered brush thatch at one corner
Of the roof. The halfbreed did not
stop work until his visitor drew rein

met his civil greeting with cynical

Vandervyn shrugged. I'm not so

Recent Victory Of st. Paul Fighter

The recent victory of Mike Gibbons
over Jack Dillon in st. Paul proves
that Mike is the best of the Ameri-

"Oh, captain!" protested Marie.
They passed on into the dining room,
where the silent Indian boy at once
served dinner. 1t was a plain family
meal. But the china and plated ware
were artistic, the table linen was clean,
and the food very well cooked.
Dupont was still gormandizing when
Redbear came with the news that
M-Owa-konza had at last reached the
agency. The halfbreed looked so wor-
ried that Vandervyn rose from the
table as quickly as Hardy. Dupont
paused with a slice Of pumpkin pie

oaths ever ready on his tongue: "Nom

Hardy. "Miss Dupont, / ask you to

for her to escape if she hears any fir

here or join myself and Redbear, as
you prefer"
"Fll go along with you, captain. You
may have to fight your way back here"
Hardy nodded in appreciation of the
spirited reply, bowed to Marie, and
started for the agency buildings with a
step that was brisk yet dignified. The
Indians had assembled for the council
Ia a semicircle, three rows deep, fac
ing the rear of the warehouse. Hardy
went first to his cabin, where he
"broke" his rifle and put piece of
the mechanism into his pocket.
''There shall be no display of weap-

will not take your rifles. At close quar-

Hardy, and he walked on ahead, cool
and resOlute.
The others soon rejoined him, Red
bear in an old shooting jacket, and
Vandervyn in a frock coat and tile, to
Hardy reminiscent of smart society,
but to the Indians emblematic of pale
face dignity. When the little party
came around the end of the warehouse
to take up their position before the
silently awaiting assembly, the covert
glances of the many beadlike eyes first
turned upon the chief clerk. Soon,
however, they shifted to the erect mill

Pile fabrics have reached a degree
of beauty which makes them rival fur.
AT first they were woven to initiate the
pelts of animals, and at this they show
themselves marvelously adept. But
now their designers are looking for
new worlds to conquer and thinking
along independent lines. Many Of the
new pushes and velvets do not seek to
initiate anything, but to establish an
unrivaled position for beauty and dur
ability in their own field.
A coat made of two-toned plush,
shown in the picture, is an example of
this new departure in the world of pile
fabrics. Bands Of fur, as in so many
of this seasons coats, are used for
trimming and for the collar. Beaver,
In this instance, matches the castor
which prevails in the coat. The sur
face of wavy lines is in castor and
black.
The coat hangs loose at the front
and is shirred at the waistline across
the back. The large buttons are Gov
cred with fur, and the cords that define
the shirring are terminated at each
side with a big fiat cabochon Of fur.

The small sailor collar is faced with
crepe.
Two little pockets are SET on, one at
each side. They are of the silk and
are shirred into a ruffie at the top.
They are real pockets, meant for use,

Black Biouses.

The woman in mourning finds prices
for clothing of good quality higher
than prices for colored things. Espe-
cially is this so when she dons thin
blouses of black and white. These
blouses are usually very expensive.
She can obviate this expense, however,
by buying a sheer blouse of all black
chiffon O Georgette Grape and lining
it herself with white chiffon or lace,
or wearing it over a dainty white cami-
sole. A separate white collar, too, can
be worn to relieve the i-ntenseness Of
the black. For Sc or 81 a black blouse
can be bought as attractive as a black
and-white blouse that would cost $40
