they passed at step from romance to

The realities were basing themselves
upon the advent of two newcomers,
riding down the Chigringo trail to the
ford which had been the scene of the
fish slaughtering; a sunburnt young
man in goatskin Chaps flannel shirt
and tapping Stetson, and a girl
whose face reminded Brouillard Of one
of the Madonnas, whose name and
painter he strove vainly to recall. Ten
seconds farther along the horses of
the pair were shifting suspiciously at

DRESS FOR SUMMER

months brings a lock of ecstasy into
the faces of all who sell woman's ap-
parel, for along this path lie riches.
Sports clothes are de luxe this sea-
son. No woman will content herself
with one such costume; she will buy
as long as her money holds out This
is the reason for the smile that the
dressmakers and the shopkeepers
wear. Each week is taxed to its ut
most in turning out dozen or more
new suggestions, and for all such bait
there is not only nibble but good
sized bite. Women who have INDUCED
in one tailored suit for the spring,
which they intended to make serve
through the autumn, are buying four
suits with much paraphernalia and
many accessories to match.
The wearing of sports clothes keeps
you in the atmosphere, say Newport
and Bar Harbor, and the woman who
has never even welded a racket at
the Casino in Newport or gone on a
picnic to Jordan's. pond in Bar Har-
Dor, is, nevertheless, getting ready to
adorn herself with Haunting awning
skirts, tennis shoes, gay sweaters and
colored stockings. All that she is
asked to do is sit serenely in the sun
shine in her plumage of paroquet
SO that she will not make ciscordans
note in the junglelike riot of colors.
Green and black checks are widely
used for sports suits made of cloth,
@1.xr
golf a good deal are making run
for a suit with a slightly ripping
skirt and a short jacket, made of
bright green and black checked home
spun; there is also a two-inch belt OF
the sturdiest black grained leather
with a silver harness buckle.

your dam right here and take out your
canal through the canyon? Is that the
plan?"
Brouillard nodded and went little
further into details, showing how the
inward-arching barrier would be an

buttresses.

Then you are going to need Port

will you get it? And how will you get

Brouillard smiled inwardly at the
pork packers suddenly awakened in
terest in the technical ways and
means. His four years in the desert
had taken him out of touch with

tary contact with one of its successful
devotees was Illuminating.

Brouillard walked his companion
down to the car and helped her to a
seat in the tonneau. She repaid him
with a nod and smile, and when he
saw that the crudities were not
troubling her he stepped aside and un-
consciously fell to comparing the two

When the fish -slaughtering matter
was finally settled-not by the tender
of money that Mr.. Cartwright had
made-the man Smith and his Iretty
riding mate galloped through the ford
and disappeared among the barren
hills.

princess, as the big car righted itself
for the southwark flight into the des-
ert. IF l were you l shouldn't fall in

Be Sure Gloves Are Correct.

In no detail of dress is the knowl-

Of gloves. Yet a surprising number
of women, otherwise well-dressed,
make mistakes in glovewear. For in

CHAPTER w IA,
Sands of Pactolus VIZ

If Victor Brouillard had been dis
posed to speculate curiously upon the
possibilities suggested by Mr.. ]. Wes-
ley Cartwright on the occasion of the
capitalists brief visit to the Niquoia,
there was little leisure for it. Fairly
confronting his problem, Brouillard
did not find himself hampered by de-
partmental inertia. While he was rap
idly organizing his force for the con-
structive attack, the equipment and
preliminary material for the upbuild-
ing of the great dam we're piling up
by the trainload on the sidetracks at
Quesado, and at once the man and
beast killing task of rushing the exca-
waiting outfit of machinery, teams,
scrapers, rock-drilling installations,
steam shovels, and the like, over the
War Arrow trail was begun.

MiIIiners Incline to the Picturesque In
the Shapes Put Forward for
Fashions Approval.

The newest dress hats incline to
picturesque brims and fiat crown
They are, in fact, quite the antithesis
of the directoire or mushroom shapes
and are designed with view to their
proper completion of taffeta, satin or
serge frocks. Reboux has used ostrich
feathers to band a Gainsborough
shape, and Talbot has also set the seal
of approval on ostrich plumes by u.s.
ing the latter to emphasize the cava-
lier picturesqueness of models from
that house.
Lisere, leghorn, tagal, erin lace
and Milan are the straws favored. a
curious combination is shown in a
Milan sailor from Reboux which has
the crown and upper brim made of
gray worsted. The worsted is laid
in strips without any attempt at a
fancy design and there is a pompon
of the same posed directly in front.
There are other hats made of straw
with an angora surface. Doubtless
these will be very good for early
spring.
Another strange contribution to the
list is a hat made of blue taffeta COM
bined with a braid made of cork in
its natural color. The use of patent
leather braided in basket weave is not
new to this season, although it is
candidate for renewed favor. Then
there are the confetti hats sent to
America by Jeanne Due. Models OF
this sort are of medium sailor shape
and have the crown literally sprinkled
with tiny disks of brilliant color in
confetti suggestion.

"On the dam, you mean? We shall

the Navajo reservation, forty-odd miles
south Of here; for the remainder we
shall import men from the States"
