\ Surprising Slip.

Scott was called by Lefever to con-
clude in secret the final arrange
ments. The ground about the quak-
ing asp grove, and nearest Ell Cap
itan. afforded the best concealment
close to the gap. And to this point
Scott was directed to bring what men
he could before daybreak the follow
ing morning.
Its a short notice to get many
men together-of the kind we want"
admitted Lefever. You'll have to
skirmiSh some between now and mid
night. What do you think you can
do"
Scott had already made up a ten

and said nobody should go if he
didn't; Frank Elpaso, the Texan; the
Engishman. Tommy Meggeson: and

any one of them, Lefever knew,
could give an account OF himself un-
der all circumstances.
While Scott was getting his men
together, De Spain, accompanied by
Lefever. was riding toward Music
mountain. Scott had urged on them
but one parting caution-not to
leave the aspens until rain began
falling. When he spoke there was not
a cloud in the sky. It's going to rain
tonight. just the same predicted
Scott. Don't leave the trees till it
gets going. Those gap scouts will get

their toes, if you'll be patient"
The sun set across the range in n
drift of grayish-b black, low-lying
clouds, which seemed only to await
its disappearance to envelop the
mountains and empty their moisture
on the desert. BY the time De Spain
and Lefever reached the end of their
long ride a misty rain was drifting
down from the west. The two men
had just ridden into the quaking asps
when man coming out OF the gap
almost rode into them. The intruders
had halted and were sufficiently hid

fever's horse indiscreetly coughed.
The man from the gap reined up
and called out. Lefever answered.
It's Bull Page" declared De
Spain, after the exchange of a few
words, calling to Bull at the same
time to come over to the shelter of
the trees.
Whats going on in there, Bull?''
asked De Spain after Bull had told
him that Gale had driven him out.
and he was heading for Calabasas.
You tell" retorted Page. Looks
to me like old Dukes getting ready
to die. Gale says he's going to draw
his will tonight, and don't want no
body around-got old Judge Druel in
there"
De Spain pricked up his ears.
Whats that. Druel?" he demanded.
Bull repeated his declaration. Lefe-
Yer broke into violent language at
the Sleepy Cat jurist's expense, and
ended by declaring that no will
should be drawn in the gap that
night by Duke Morgan or anybody
else. unless he and Bull were made
legatees.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

THIS is one of the newest
. and smartest of the one
piece gowns. AS it is
shown here, it is made of a
summer weight serge with a
soutaChed material used as
trimming, but it is susceptible
of great variation. There is a
plain princess gown and over
that princess the over portions
that are buttoned into place
are arranged. To get the trim
ming effect the plain gown is
faced and as a matter of course
you can use a contrasting ma
terial for. these facings or you
can use braid or embroider the
material of the gown itself. 1t
is very new and very smart and,
for a simpler gown, you could
use it without the over portions.
You will find that any material
that can be made in simple
severe style is appropriate. The
round neck and long sleeves
combine to make an interesting
feature of the Spring fashions.
For the medium size will be
needed, Oh yards of material
SO inches wide, 4 yards a. with
~ yards SO or "A inches wide
for the facings, to make as
illustrated.
The pattern No. 1896 is cut in
sizes from 80 to 46 inches bust
measure. 1t will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion De-
partment of this paper, on re-
ceipt of fifteen cents.
