half hopeful that he might Overtake
the boy who had gone in the night.
But none of the farmers on the out
lying roads had seen pass their way
a little foot traveller such as be de
scribed. and after time even that
small hope died.
When Dexter Allison came over the
next day. his face far more pertnrbed
than Caleb had ever before seen it by
the news which Barbara in tears had
carried to him. together the two men
searched for Steve, driving in silence
through the country until they both
realized that the search was useless.
And at last. one day in early fall,
Caleb started alone upon his errand
into that stretch of timber to the north
which the boy himself had vaguely
designated as ''up river"
He spent week in the saddle before
he located the cabin of the Jenkinses
In an isolated clearing upon the main
branch of the river. And even then.
when he did locate the Jenkinses. 1t
took hours of quiet argument before
Caleb could convince those shy and
suspicious people that his errand was
an honest one. Eventually they did
come to believe him. They led him
afoot another half mile up the timber
fringed stream to log cabin set back
In the balsams upon a needle carpeted
knoll. And they stood and stared in
stolid wonder at this portly man in
riding breeches and leather puttees

small shack, Old Toms tin box under

genuineness until later when there
came an opportunity to spend 1t. And
Sarah was waiting at the door OF the
white place on the hill when Caleb
wheeled into the yard at dusk two
days later.

count for his conduct. "And this seems
to me to be as big an opportunity as
I'll ever have. You-you like the boy
don't you. so far as you have become
acquainted with him!"
Yes. like him." she asseDted, after
awhile.
"Of course lit comes as surprise
to you" he murmured. ut Is pretty
sudden. but don't think that either
of us will ever regret It."
And then Sarah faced round toward
her brother. Her eyes were unac-
countably wet. but there WAS laughter
on her lips

for him to put ON when he gets up In
the morning. And. Cal. who'd ever be-
lieve now that plump behemoth ike
you ever could have worn such-sucn

The inferred description should have
prepared Caleb but at the moment he
failed to remeber that it was some
forty years since the garb she men
toned had been in vogue. Instead, he
biushed uncomfortably at the gurgie
in her throat And so the next morn
ing. when a little figure in velvet
jacket and pantaloone-velvet Of the
same Jet hue in which Barbara Allison
had first appeared to the boy day OF
two before-stopped at the head OF the
long stairway the moment was robbed
of not one whit of its sensationalism.
There was something in Sarah's nut
tering delight over the boys changed
appearance that morning which awoke
an almost hysterical impulse In bel

When Caleb came back an hour lat

the boy. In his perplexity he appealed
to Sarah, who followed him to the
front door.

Ter, is about FIVE feet high and rather
deaf, but he thinks nobly of his i'm.
portance to the band. When the band
parades, It always takes the same
course through the main streets; but
the other day the leader, for some
purpose known only to himself, turned
down a bystreet. The little drummer
did not see what was happening In
front of him, for to compensate for his
lack of height he holds his drum high
before him. So with his gaze con-
centrated on his music he banged
away, and marched straight ahead, as
usual. About Ave minutes afterward
he finished his part, and, hearing no
other instruments, he stopped. Part
Of the crowd had accompanied him,
and they gave him a cheer. But he
was Ill at ease. He showed his drum
to one side and gazed ahead; then on

bloodless hue of corpse.
His business was Matchmaking; but
his passion was chemistry, and all his

type OF overbodice. but while 1t reigns
this type OF corset cover is a neces.
sity, and may be worn with any other
sort of dress waist.
For nearly all styles OF figures a
yard and half will prove ample when
purchasing the founclng for the cor
set cover, and some figures require
less. T. is pretty fancy, that is very
common, to make the corset cover OF
some sort of cross-barred or figured
lawn or batiste This is much cheaper
than founcing of the better class, and
can be finished at the top with a mar
row beading and edge of embroidery
or lace. The top should always have
a narrow edge, because II would 9TH
erwise spoil the fiat appearance of
the waist worn over 1t.
This new wide skirt is adorned with
an embroidered flouncing and a bead
ing to match the beading that con,
meets corset cover and skirt. The
same design ls good for the Dolly
Warden sateen and silk undersklrts
that are now In vogue, and these
skirts are finished with Hounces of
material that often contrasts in color
and figure, and all are edged with
ruching, little ruffies or cordings. 1t
