away the scabbard, and holding the
weapon UP in one hand, fired shot
after shot at measured intervals to
attract the attention of the two he
sought He exhausted his rifle am
munition without eliciting any an
swer. The wind drove with a roar
against which even a rifle report
could hardly carry, and the snow
swept down the sinks in a mad blast.
Flakes torn by the fury of the gale
were stiffened by the bitter wind
into powdered ice that stung horse
and rider. Casting away the useless
Carbine. and pressing his horse to the
limit of her strength and endurance,
the unyielding pursuer rode in great,
coiling circles into the storm, to cut
in, if possible, ahead of it's victims,
firing shot upon shot from his revol-
YER and putting his ear intently
against the wind for the faint hope
of an answer.
Suddenly the Lady stumbled and,
as he cruelty reined her, slid help

of fiat rock. De Spain. leaping from
her back, steadied her trembling
and looked underfoot. The mare had

could not be far, he knew. from the
junction of the two great desert
trails-the Calabasas road and the
gap road. He felt sure Nan could not
have got much north of this. for he
had ridden in desperation to get
abreast of or beyond her, and if she
were south, where, he asked, in the
name of God, could she be?
He climbed again into the saddle
the cold was gripping his limbs
and, watching the rocky landmarks
narrowly tried to circle the dead
waste of the half-buried flow. With
chilled, awkward fingers he filed the
revolver again and rode on. dis
charging it every minute, and listen

completed, as we'll as he could COM

out on, that a faint shot answered
his continuing signals.

! box office, and paid more than he
usually did, too, which fact he care
fully concealed from Helen. Now
that he had obtained his own way
he was disposed to be jovial, and
Helen responded nobly. After all, it
was fun to come to the theater. no
matter what they saw. The people
were always interesting to watch,
and Helen trusted to luck that the
play would not bore her too much.
The lights went out finally, and
the curtain went up. The scene was
really charming and Helen in spite
of herself felt a thrill of interest.
AS the play proceeded she discovered
that there was more to the plot than
was usual with the musical come
/ dies, the acting was good and the
humor refreshing. Besides, the mu-
sic was really lovely and when the
curtain went down on the first act
Helen turned to Warren impulsive-
ly and said:
isn't it good. dear? l never re-
member seeing a play of this kind
that l have liked more" And then
followed a quick perusing of the pro-
gram, followed by short and brisk
controversy on the principles. in
which Warren responded interested
ly. They talked and laughed as they
rose on the second act Helen felt
somehow like she did when Warren
used to take her about before they
were married. She realized just what
bad habits they had fallen into, not
just she and Warren but almost ev-
cry married couple she knew went
to the theater together and sat alb
solutely dumb through the waits
Tonight had been so different, she
wondered why things couldn't be this
way always.
The play, which was in two acts,
came to a really successful finish.
Helen laughed and applauded gayly,
and when they rose to go she smiled
up into Warren's face sweetIy. Helen
was looking her best and her face
was wreathed in smiles. Warren re-
! turned her look with one as nearly
responsive and Helen felt herself
actually blushing.
"Shall we go out for a bite to eat
somewhere" Warren asked casu-
ally.
Generally Helen vetoed this ques-
ton, but tonight she responded in
stantly and even suggested a place
| Warren looked surprised, and when
they were out of the theatre crush he
turned to her suddenly.
II don't know how much you've
rGnlly enjoyed the play" he said
abruptly. but 1 want to tell you
! that you've been a good little sport
tonight. How about taking in that
melodrama you spoke of tomorrow

ishly as Helen gave his arm a sud-
den squeeze.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

THERE seems no limit to
the variations of the barrel
skirt and here is one of the
prettiest. The front and back
of the skirt are plain and form
box plaits, but the sides are cut
in sections and the joining of
these sections produce the barrel
effect. The blouse is a quite
simple one with full fronts and
plain back and here the edges
are trimmed with banding, but
they are all straight and they
can be scalloped or embroid-
cred with great success, or you
can hem them and finish with a
little drawn work, for every form
of needlework is exceedingly
fashionable this season.
For the medium size the
blouse will require, ia yards
OF material 80 inches VIDE with
3 yards of banding. For the
skirt will be needed, 512 yards
of material SO inches wide with
~ yards of banding.
The blouse pattern No. o4o5
is cut in sizes from SO to 40
inches bust measure and the
skirt pattern No. o4o8 in sizes
from "a to "a inches waist meas
ure. They will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Depart
ment of this paper, on receipt
of fifteen cents for each.
