bottle of the stuff, he resumed his
journey. We had not gone two miles
when noted his dropping pose. Over

asleep in the saddle.
The horse halted to browse and his
rider slept on. 1t was my chance. Al
standstill 1 could work with some
system at my bonds. Soon l was free,
To dispose safely of my captOr was an
easy task. 1 took his hat, his jacket
and his weapons. Then it was that

only twenty-five miles between myself
and Pulza.
l passed no habitation, met nobody
during the first five miles of my ride
forward. l had fancied l knew the
route perfectly, as 1 had traversed ii
before but at the end of an hour began
to be confused. l lost the trail and
did not catch it up again until 1 came
in sight of a lonely little cabin. II

and, glancing in at the open window,
l noted q water pail on the table and
the only inmate of the desolate place,
a little, understood Mexican lad, about
five years of age. He was seated at
the table eating porridge. AS I stepped
through the doorway he sprang nimbly
to his feet and faced me.
I almost laughed outright. The
shrewd, impish expression on the face
of the youngster was absolutely ire
sistible as instantly he threw up both
hands.
Then, his keen eyes looking me all
over, he uttered two words:
"Sandoval Muerte!"
nodded my head. He was reas.
sured. He went back to his porridge
like one who has a duty to perform
and had received a safe-conduct. l
drank at the pail and left the hut,
turning the queer incident over in my
mind as I rode along. Suddenly, in
Mexican:
"Halt-who goesw
1t was an inspiration that came to
me, looking down the barrel of lev.
eled carbine. At once there flashed
a thought through my mind. The par.
ents of the Mexican lad had tutored
him for critical occasion-nonresist-
ance and the password. I gave it now.
"Sandoval Muerte."
"Pass Onto the left. You are for
the town."
1 grunted an assent. Again

The hour was late when 1 reached
PulZa. At once I visited the Went
worth domicile and had Mr.. Went
worth out of bed, explaining matters.
He looked serious, and decided on i'm
mediate action. 1t was wise, for a
few hours later the entire district was
under instruction domination.

little later, when he led two charming
young ladies into the room, who had
hastily dressed at the tidings of alarm.
My Miss Wentworth came forward
with welcoming smile. AS spoke of
Lieutenant Rossiter, the other Miss
Wentworth looked anxious and re-
lieved. For the first time 1 knew there
were two Misses Wentworth, and
mine, the younger, was not a fiancee.
That is, until we were over the
border. We did not wait for daylight
My meeting with the Mexican sentinel
few miles from town convinced me
that the insurrectionists were critical
ly near. Our party was the last
through the district without challenge.

me to her friends a hero complete.

The tables were turned. 1 laughed
outright as l realized it. There, back
in the timber, at lonely spot which
few would visit or pass, had left
stalwart Mexican soldier tied hand
and foot. Certainly 1 was safe from
his pursuit until morning.
The way it had come about was
this: For several days I had been To-
Gated at Mayena with the United
States troops. l was taking photo
graphs for a series Of magazine ar
ticles and had become quite well &C.
quainted with Lieutenant Harvey Ros-
sitter. Before coming to Mayena 1 had
been for week at Pulza. There had
met Miss Wentworth and her family.
The impression made upon me by Miss
Wentworth was lasting one. When
Lieutenant Rossiter stated that he
knew the Wentworths there was q
friendly bond established between US
at once. 1t suffered a severe strain
my last hour in camp, however. Ros-
sitter came to me looking anxious and
distrustful.
you told me you were going back
to Pulza?" he said, and inquiringly.
"I've got to-" I told him. II left
all the views I took in Chihuahua
there, counting on picking them up
on my homeward-bound trip"
l did not tell Rossiter, of course,
that I was glad of an excuse, as
return would naturally mean a second
meeting with the charming Miss
Wentworth.
II got a letter about two hours since
from Pulza," said the lieutenant,

Fur Sleeves In Velvet Wraps.

It's no use deferring the discussion
Of fur, for it's already appeared too
often to be ignored. Not merely as
collars and capes, for they have never
gone away, put as part of the de-
sign of dresses and coats. Short corse.
let jackets of cloth and velvet are
made with fur sleeves and conversely
Russian coats of smooth, short fH
have sleeves and scarfs of velvet, and

Pretty Clothes for Small Maid

cares not for quality nor quantity. She
wants the last thing at the right mo-
ment. If she is compelled to wear the
same new frocks from October until
May, she will rebel. The consequence
is that she will worry her mother into
giving her some new frocks after the
New Year, with her fermer ones still
valuable. Therefore, try the system Of
giving her just enough to last her
through the Christmas holidays, and
take advantage of the reasonable
prices of fashionable clothes at the
shops.
Making for Economy.
1t is perhaps wiser to provide her
with two One-piece frocks and a top
coat than with a tailored suit so early
in the season. The classroom frock
which used to bother mothers minds
so much is now simplified by the uni
versal fashion of separate flannel
skirts, sweaters and shirt waists.
There are many schools in which the
girls insist upon wearing wash skirts
throughout the season, but this is an
extravsgant fashion because of the
laundry BILL
The preferred shirtwaist Is of silk
instead of cotton, which calls for bit
more money in the beginning, but
which saves more in the end.
The top coat seems to be essential,
There are admirable new ones brought
over from Paris and also designed in
America. The smart ones have loose,
circular capes that flare away from
half-low, rolling collar, with fasten-
ing on the side instead of in front
AS for the one-piece frocks, they can
be chosen in any color and material
that the girl likes. There must be
one for afternoon and informal eve
ming wear which the French designers
make up in white or cream lace with
colored satin or In Georgette crepe
