CHAPTER TX.

My intimacy with Wolf Larsen in
creases-if by intimacy may be de-
noted those relations which exist be-
tween master and man, or, better yet,
between king and jester. Ny function
is TO amuse. and so long as | amuse
all goes well: but let him become
bored. or let him have one of his black
moods come upon him. and at once I
am RELOCATED from cabin table to gal
ley. while at the same time, am for.
tunate to escape with my life and n
whole body.
The loneliness OF the man is slowly
being borne in upon me. There is not
a man aboard but hates or fears him.
nor is there a man whom he does not
despise. He seems consuming with
the tremendous power that is in him
and that seems never to have found
adequate expression in works. This
loneliness is bad enough in itself. but,
to make Il worse, he is oppressed by
the primal melancholy of the race.
The frivolity of the laughter-loving
Latins is no part OF him. When he
laughs ii is from a humor that Is
nothing less than ferocious. But he
laughs rarely; he is too often sad.
We're lie not SO terrible a man. could
sometimes feel sorry for him, as In
stance three mornings ago, when |
went into his stateroom to fill his wa
ter bottle and came Unexpectedly upon
him. He did not see me. His head
was buried IN bis hands, and his shoul.

1t will be noticed that the whole
trend of the new fashions is toward
quaintness and contrast. Skirts are
made up in two distinct colors and por-
tions. Jackets frequently differ en-
tirely from the material and color of
the skirt. and wide lower portions of
frocks are usually met by clinsinS
bodices and shoulder effects.
In this frock, which is one of the
simplest to make at home, the skirt
shows two distinct colors and mate
rials. although for fat and short wom-
en- the writer suggests that the whole
skirt be made of the same material, or
at least the same ground color. If the

Just as it was before. You are you

you did, Reddy grinned and licked
his lips in a hungry way.
Mrs. Grouse chuckled. THAT is all
right, Reddy," said she. Il shall never
have any hard feeling, no matter how
much you may hunt me. 1t is the law
of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows that each one must look out
for himself and get a good meal when
ever and wherever he can. 1t is a
good law, because it keeps the wits of
all of us sharp. So if it ever happens
that 1 am that good meal for you I
won't even cry when you catch me. But
you'll never do it Reddy. No. sir; you'll
never do it."

which I knew nothing. 1t was an un

But now that I've learned about it I'll
never be caught that way again. I

Browns Boy has smashed it all down."
replied Reddy. But you will have to
watch out for me. You are looking
very fine, Mrs. Grouse, and something

and turned to trot away.

look with a plain blue border on the
skirt. blue ornaments on the hips, blue
collar and buttons. Or the trimming
may be done in brown. and there is no
hard and fast rule as to how it shall be
applied. This pattern, in fact, is ideal
for making over an old dress into a
new one. The bottom of the old frock
may make the top of the fuller new
one. and a new piece added at the bot
tom. The buttons up the front make it
one of the best of models for the
school and ocllege girl and the busy
woman. Then, too. the stock collar is
an attractive finish, and saves much
time in arranging fussy neckwear, and
no sleeve is as pretty as the one that
