STOUT STYLES.
What Some Women Look
Best In Just Now.

The outlook Is not nearly 30 dark for
the stout woman rs 1t used to be. A
great many kind souls In the world Of
manufacturers, tailors and designers
seem to have taken pity on her. with
the result that there are almost as
many attractive styles for her now as
there are for her simmer sisters At
the summer fashion promenade In
prominent shop there were two models
exploiting styles for stout women, and
no thin woman viewing the fashion
show dared to smile at the large ladies'
promenading up and down among the
Issome and wand like creatures on
whom Paris clothes were SO truly Pa
rislan, for very compassion Of the ap-
chins, the faces Of women who per-
haps for the first time saw themselves
as others see them. No stout woman
dreams how she actually looks, and 1t
Is rather an unpleasant shock to find
how very stout some other woman ap-
pears In the gown she has her eye on.
Stout women look over the fashion
magazines and imagine themselves In
fancied costume, and they never mag
Inc themselves quite as stout as their
dressmakers know they are. Perhaps
they are happier. not knowing-at any
rate one feels sure that after seeing
the gown Of their dreams on another
figure of equal or superior avoirdupois
they will pass up the model in favor of
something else to which their fancy
may still cling with dreams.
There are several things, however,
that the stout woman has 'learned-not
to select models of stiff, glistening fab
ric, not to choose overturned bodice
or skirts with ruffles. 'Draperies are
the things for the stout figure, soft dra-
peries that fall in long lines. Chiffon
is an ideal fabric and crepe de chine
with its clinging texture and richness
without the luster Of satin. SQutaehe
braiding makes an admirable trimming
when applied in ong-lines and panels;
buttons also-when they are not too
glittering. The stout woman has often
very pretty foot and ankle and
should make the most Of dainty foot
wear, for there are all the smart and
attractive styles in buttoned boots and
slippers, and In this field Of fashion
may she CLEAN to hearts content.

and placed his finger upon the trigger.
Leontine stood confronting him. The
sight Of the man had aroused her cour-
age. restored her contempt for him.
And. as she faced him. Sebastian
could not pull the trigger.
He had loved her once, and the
thought of sending her to instant death
was surprisingly difficult one. His
glance wavered. 1t lit upon one of
the rose bushes.
Outlined dimly against this he saw
II vision of the electric chair. Beside
it stood the ghosts of the men whom
he had murdered. Last of the line
was Whitley. whose still warm body
| lay almost at his feet. They looked
at him steadily out of their shadowy
eyes. And Sebastian, shuddering,
the bushes.
! He heard the cries of the pursuers
behind him, but made his way along
the narrow trail that led toward the
precipitous rocks along the river bank,
confident that ut the bend of the path
he could evade them among the trees.
1t was difficult country, and Sebas-
tian knew every inch of 1t.
lie heard the cries become fainter.
He breathed more freely. And rs he
ran he fumbled with his revolver.
Then curses broke from his lips. He
had exhausted the chambers, and he
had dropped the remaining cartridges
from his pocket when he was crawling
along the ground behind the rose
bushes.

tance behind him. Turning his head
at the bend. he sawSthe foremost about
three hundred yards away. There
was no chance of gaining the thickets
unobscrved.
Suddenly he perceived Jerry stand
ing in the middle of the path facing
him. With yell, Sebastian hurled
himself at the figure. He stumbled
through vacancy and pitched forward
to the ground. When he arose he saw
the mocking hallucination in front of
him again, beckoning to n by-path that
ran down toward the river.
He glanced back The police were

And LeOntine knew that her chance
of saving Jerry's name had vanished
forevermore. She sank down in her
chair and buried her face in her hands.
A gentle touch upon Leontine's
shoulder reused her. Ravengar stood
before her. She felt no surprise. Since
the beginning of her misfortunes Raw
engnr had always appeared to comfort
her ut crucial moments.
''There was Just enough absolute
black left to enable me to obtain this
confession" said Ravengar, laying
down the paper which Sebastian had
signed.
Leontine picked it up and read. 1t
contained almost n complete resume of
Sebastian's life from the moment of
his first crime. 1.-The receipt that con-

paid One-Lamp Louie thousand dol
lars to forge the signature. Mine Is
the guilt for all, and may this free the
memory of Jerry Carson from the
stain that unjustly rests upon it."
Leontine's eyes filled with tears.
She raised her head and looked ut
Ravengar. And n cry escaped her.
She knew! She had been on the
verge of the discovery before, but it
had been too incredible, and she had
forced the knowledge down deep be-
meath the level of her consciousness.
Now she knew
"Jerry!" she cried.
He caught her in his arms and
pressed his lips to hers. "Leontine 7"
he answered. Mine ut last, utter all
this long waiting."
She could not speak for happiness
for long time. She lay in his arms,
and in his kisses she forgot all the
past.
This means that you are free" she
said mt length. "That even though
you are an escaped life prisoner you
can reveal yourself. armed with this
confession, and face the world"

answered Jerry. 1T means that you

escape from the prison ship, had

reached Ravengar's Ledge in the South
Atlantic. the very place that he had
sought unsuccessfully on his expedi-
ton. AS he read the journal which he
had taken from the skeleton hand of
the dead Joseph Dexter, whose body
he had found, one of the giant squids
that infest those waters had perceived
him and. stretching forth tentacle,
had drawn him under the waves.
Jerry had just time to draw in a
deep breath as he was dragged under.
Beneath the water he opened his eyes.
But he could see nothing. for the mon
ster octopus had surrounded itself
with deluge of murky liquid to es-
cape pursuit.
Jerry's hand came in contact with
the sharp flank of n rock. He grasped
it and clung there. The octopus, hold
ing him about the body, dragged at
him with n force that seemed about to
pull his arm from the socket.
Jerry held on. He knew that il he
released his hold the devil fish would
drag him into deep water, and that
would mean certain death. Linking
his arm about the rock, he managed
to draw his knife from his belt and be
gan to slash furiously ut the leathery
arm that gripped him.
Just as his arm was about to break
from the socket he succeeded in sew
ering the tentacle. But before he
could rise to the surface second
tentacle shot forth out of the black
fluid and grasped him. And the furi-
Gus struggle began once more.
A second time Jerry succeeded in
cutting the tentacle. A third tentacle
grasped him. With the last use of his
strength Jerry managed to cut the
third tentacle and rise to the surface

Fifteenth EPISODE
The Final Chapter.

In his hiding-pl in his country
house Sebastian Navarro sat crouched
over the fire. hunted fugitive.
In terror of his life, dependent upon
the good faith of Whitley, his sole re-
manning henchmnn, and doubtful of
him, Sebastian was in no enviable
mood. And us he covered, drcading
the future and shuddering Mt the sound
of every automobile that passed along
the road, he was living again in his
past.
One crime had led to another, and
yet Sebastian tried to convince him
self that he was not by nature evil.
He saw himself upon his fathers es-
tate in the Argentine. heir to vast
wealth. and happy, until he had seen
and loved Leontine.
She was engaged to Jerry Carson,
and Sebastian had resolved that she
should he his. When he believed that
Jerry nd died on his mad expedition
to the lonely South Atlantic ledge, he
had forged document designed to set
Leontine against her lover. 1t was n
receipt for three thousand dollars, with
Jerrys signature, the sum to be re-
paid one month after Jerry's marriage.
Sebastian had never expected that
Jerry would return. When he caiae
home Sebastian had accused him of
forgery and of completely in his broth
er's death. Jerry had been sent to the
prison hulks for life, and had died
there.
And still Sebastian had thought him
self only the victim of unhappy cir
cum-tances.
Ltontine had become nominally Sc
bast'en's wife. He had not sought TO
win Icr love. He had been faithlcss to
after crime.
Sebastian saw the dead faces of the
victims of his treachery. He saw One
Lamp Louie, the little thief, staring ut
him rcproachfully. He saw Blanca,
blown to pieces in the dynamite explo-
sion at the shack. He saw the man
whom he had shot on the roof in his
wild, successful effort to escape JUS
uce.
And still he thought that he was not
bad man and cursed his predicament.

What had made Whitley smile was
hrst, the money; secondly, the idea
that he had done II service to the
state.
Perhaps the telepathic sense of his
impending betrayal was acting upon
Sebastian in the room below. Sebas'
tian. with Quivcring nerves, shook his
