peared at the Office door and seemed
to regard the situation with suspicion.
He looked at De Spain tentatively, as
| if ready either for the discharge with
which he was daily threatened or for
renewal of his earlier, friendly rela
tons with the man who had been
queer enough to make place for him.
De Spain set Bull down before him
in the stuffy little office.
Bull" he began with apparent
frankness, 81 want to know how you
like your job"
Wiping his mouth guardedly with
his hand to play for time and as an
introduction to a carefully worded re-
ply, Bull parted. "Mr. de Spain, 1

Bull plunged promptly into the sus-
picion uppermost in his mind. HAS
that slat-eyed, flat-headed, sun-sapped
sneak of a ScOtchman been complaint
ing of my work? That, Mr.. de SPAIN"
emphasized Bull, leaning forward, lis

question:

corresponding and ceremonial empha-
sis, sit is fair question between man
and man. admit it it is a fair ques-
ton. And I answer, no, Bull. Meal
pin has had nothing on the face of
the desert to do with my sending for
you. And l add this because I know
you want to hear it: he says he
couldn't complain of your work, be-
cause you never do any,"
"That man." persisted Bull, re-
enforced by the hearty tone and not
clearly catching the drift of the very
last words, drinks more liquor than
l do"
"He must be some tank, Bull"
"And l don't hide it, Mr.. de Spain"
you'd have to crawl under Music
mountain to do that. What l want to
know is, do you like your jobT"
On this point it was impossible to
get an expression from Bull. He felt
convinced that De Spain was press
ing for an answer only as a prelimi-
nary to his discharge. mo matter"
interposed the latter, cutting Bulls
ramblings short, drop it, Bull. I want
you to do something for me, and I'll
pay for it."
Bull, with palsied smile and a
deep, quavering note of gratitude, put
up his shaky hand. "Say what. That's
all. I've been paid"
"You know you're sot, Bull"
Bull nodded. II know It,"
"A disgrace to the Maker whose
image you were made in"
Bull started, but seemed, on refec-
ton, to consider this point on which
he need not commit himself.
"Still, believe there's man in you
yet. Something, at any rate, you
couldn't completely kill with whisky,
Bull-what?"

him, to bring good news. De Spain
arranged his business to wait at Gala
basas for her, and was there, after
two days, doing little hut waiting and
listening to McAlpin's stories about
the fire and surmises az TO strange
men that lurked in and about the
place. But De Spain, knowing Jeffries
was making an independent investi-
cation into the affair, gave no heed to
McAlpin's suspicious.

Spain took refuge in riding. The sea-
son was drawing on toward winter,
and rain clouds drifting at intervals
down from the mountains made the
saddle a less dependable escape from
the mOnOtOny of CalabaSas. Several
days passed with no sight of Nan
and no word from her. De Spain, as
the hours and days went by, scanned
the horizon with increasing sOlicitude.
When he woke on the sixth morning,
he was resolved to send q scout into
the gap to learn what he could of the
situation. The long silence, De Spain
knew, portended nothing good. He
sent to the stable for Bull Page.

gruffly by McAlpin, hesitated as he APP

and fears seemed mean and trivial. He
spoke only one word, but there was a

Cut Out kindergarten.

kindergarten department, cut out
music in the grades and the domestic
science department in the High
School: also to curtail the CONNER

ton was taken because the city re-
fused to grant a larger amount for
school purposes. The sum saved will
be used to increase the salaries of
the teachers, who must, however.
have additional qualifications.
A religious census of the town of
Richmond has been completed un

young. There is not the slieh test evil
dence of acknowledgment by the de-
signers that other types and other
ages exist. A woman must either look
ungracefully young and it is quite pos
sible to do this in a grotesque manner.
or she must map out a scheme of
dressing for herself which merely
touches upon the fringes of fashion,
while it carries out her best qualities
and suits her years and her flesh.
Gowns Like Jumpers.
These gowns came about thru the
acceptance by the public of the jump
er and the Russian blouse You re-
member that the new sweaters vI're
made on this principle last summer.
They went over the head without fss
tening and depended upon their sill
houette to keep them somewhat
modelled on the lines of the figure.
1t is not possible to find out the
source of the inspiration that made
designer jump to the conclusion that a
gown that went over the head would
be as interesting as a blouse that was
put on in the same manner. The in
spiration in this case developed itself
into the reality. and the slip-over gown
was offered to the public. which
greedily caught it UP in Paris and
christened it the wartime frock. In
this country, it is being steadily offer
ed by the dressmakers- but it is not
commonly accepted turnout the con-
tinent yet.
The main idea is to avoid buttons.
Innings. inside belts and hooks and
eyes. Grace, it is said. is accomplished
more quickly thru loose lines that can
be adjusted to the figure by girdls
in the primitive manner, than by
bones, buttons and patent fasteners.
1t is well to keep this idea In mind -
that the fewer the buttons used. the
better the fashion Even tailored
coats are cut so that one side wraps
across the figure and fastens with a
loop on the left hip. Tea gowns go
over the head and fall into place by
means of an adjusted sash A new
dinner gown which was imported frobl
