and Charles Banz, who were out look
ing for lost calves. The skeleton was
a half mile in the timber. The bones
were removed to the parlors of cor
oner Edward Newell. who Is endeav-
oring to establish identification. The
bones were found on the ranch of D.
Probst and 1t is thought possible that
they may be those of the rancher's
son, Grover Probst, who dropped from
sight about two years ago.
Some of the bones were trampled
into the mud by cattle. the skeleton
being found in a cow trail. A pair of
heavy logger shoes. half eaten by
coyotes, a hat, rotted clothing and
about SIS in money was all that was
found to establish identification, with
the exception of the revolver. One of
the shoes, the hat and the lower jaw
bone were found a considerable dis
lance from the rest of the bones, hav
ng apparently been carried away by
the coyotes. A gold crown is miss
ing from the upper jaw of the skull,
by which young Probst could have
been identified.

THE HEROIC FRENCH

The whole world has been inspired
by the gallantry of the French. No
country at war has won such laurels
on the field of battle; and week after
week, month after month, the French
maintain their honor unsullied, their
shield still glorified.
AS the hymns of hate and the acts
of savage passion have been spread
upon the pages of the wars history,
the part that France has enacted in
the great world drama has been un-
marred by these things, and there is
not neutral country today that does
not honor it for the heroic defense
of liberty and justice. None of the
nations at war have fought more gal
lantly and with so little chauvinistic
conceit and none have better earned

FIDO is to be relegated to the back

henceforth the numerous CANNES

the day insecure as to footing must
to be licensed or shot. Marshal Scott
has a notice in this issue of the Pros
pector warning all dog owners to call
and secure a license, for which two
perfectly healthy bones are required.
Food Commissioner Hoover has call
ed upon the nation to exterminate
the useless dogs, which he says eat
as much as a man, and are of little
use. He puts it up to the patriotism
of the people, as it were, to elimin-
ate all dead wood in the canine fam
lily. And the cats. 1t is estimated that
there are several million cats. in the
United States which consume each

since the war started three years ago.
The expense to the other nations has
increased in equal proportion. And
yet this enoromus financial strain has
not told to any appreciable extent in
either the allied or teutonic group OF
belligerents both of whom have en-
ormous sums to expend for supplies II
they could get them. These financial
sharps who stated that war could not
continue any length of time because
the nations would go bankrupt have
been forced to revise their opinions
and now hold that it will be scar

the war.

The plaudits of the onlookers.

the plaudits of the onlookers.
With her army badly weakened by
the terrific struggle of three years
France is displaying the same fine
courage and heroism today that was
hers in the trying days of 1914. The
defense of verdun, which was won by
the French, was the most notable
VICTORY since the Marine, and the slo-
gan of that historic siege-"they
shall not pass'-has again been
adopted with success in the defense
of the Champagne. For ten weeks the
Germans have been trying to break
through and have failed. Forty at
tacks during that time have been
hurled back and today the crown
prince holds hardly a foot of terri
tory gained by this costly offensive.
1t has been said that the French
army is in a serious plight because
of the enormous losses 1t has suffer
ed and through the sacrifice of its
young manhood Possibly it is true,
but the morale or the fighting ability
of the French army has not been i'm
paired. The enemy makes no greater
impression on it's lines than he did
three years ago.
1t has been willed that we should
take part in the great struggle on the
fields of Europe, and we can rejoice
that our comrades in arms are such
heroic men as the French nation has
produced.

her manners, as the Street had it, she
said primly:
"Thank you for saving me-"
''There wasn't any danger, really,
unless-unless the river had risen."
And then, suddenly, he burst into de-
lighted laughter, the first, perhaps, for
months. He shook with it, struggled
at the sight of her injured face to re-
strain it, achieved finally degree of
sobriety by fixing his eyes on the river
bank.
"Wnen you have quite finished" said
Sidney severely, perhaps you will
take me to the hotel. dare say shall

He drew her cautiously to her feet
Her wet skirts clung to her; her shoes
were sodden and heavy. She clung to

1t may be of satin or tatfeta or one
of the new weaves in silk, or it may
be of linen or cotton, whichever you
choose, and it will be correct If your
last new dress is cut on the lines
shown In the picture. Who would be-
lieve, except by seeing, that the
smock could lodge in the brain of
clever designer and emerge In a glOri-
fed form, as it has in this handsome
conception.
As shown, this dress is developed in
dark sand -colored satin and ornament
ed with braid (Which Stimulates en-
broidery) In the same color and with
a little black introduced to give it
emphasis.
This frock appears to be In two
pieces, but the picture fails to make
one entirely certain of this. The one
niece frock is the order of the day,
and in frocks, as in some other things,
appearances are misleading. If not in
two pieces there is at least no doubt
of the tunic over the skirt. Probably
this and the underskirt are both Joined
to the bodice, but 1t makes no differ
ence so long as the effect presented In
the picture Is attained in the making.

1t takes considerable time to make
dresses in the new styles for tiny girls,
for they are made with bolero, coatees,
tunics and plated skirts. Much at
tention is given to good workmanship
and to the details of careful finishing
in these diminutive frocks, but withal
they escape being fnssy. Sheer white
materials-with organdie favorite-
and fine, narrow lingerie laces are Sc
cure in their place as the most ex-
quisite of materials for them. The
tiniest of crochet or round pearly but
tons are used for fastening and to help
out in decorations on them.
For more substantial dresses linen
in blue, rose or tan is made up with
white batiste or other white fabric.
Usually a skirt of linen is set onto q
narrow belt and suspenders are made
of the linen. Nearly all these "play
dresses" Of heavier materials, have lit
tie square patch pockets set onto the
skirt, much to the joy of their small
wearers. Story-book pictures, done in

"Well, in one way, of course-you

misery there just the same. Have you
ever gone through a hospital?"
K. LIE Moyne was stretched out on
the grass, his arms under his head.
For this excursion to the end of the
street car line he had donned pair
of white flannel trousers and belted
Norfolk coat. Sidney had been di-
vided between pride in his appearance
and fear that the Street would deem
him overdreSSed.
At her question he closed his eyes,
shutting out the peaceful arch of
leaves and the bit of blue heaven over
head. He did not reply at once.
"Good gracious, believe he's
asleep!" said Sidney.
But he opened his eyes and smiled at
her.
"I've been around hospitals little. I
suppose now there is no question about
your going?"

young, but that any protegee of Doc

do you think I am afraid of work? ?"
"And-Joe?"
Sidney colored vigorously and sat
erect. ..
"He is very silly. He's taken all sorts
of idiotic notions in his head. haven't
promised to marry him."
"But he thinks you mean to. If you
have quite made up your mind not to,

is of organdie and narrow val lace.
1t is long-waisted model with short.

the bodice in the shoulder and under
arm seams. A band of embroidered
organdie is set in the coatee fronts
and about the bottom of the skirt, with
narrow insertion at each side. The
pointed sleeves are cut with flare
and trimmed with insertion and edg-
ing, and a final dainty touch is added
to the points of the coatee in little,

gether, even with boy lover on the
next stool. Now he could view things
through Joe's tragic eyes. And there
was more than that. All day he had
noticed how inevitable the conversa-
tion turned to the young surgeon.
Sidney's active young brain, turned
inward for the first time in her life,
was still on herself.
"Mother is plaintively resigned-and
Aunt Harriet has been trump. She's
going to keep her room. It's really up
to you"

"To your staying on. Mother trusts
you absolutely. / hope you noticed
that you got one of the apostle spoons
with the custard she sent up to you
the other night. And she didn't object
to this trip today. OF course, as she
said herself, it isn't as if you were
young, or at all wild"
In spite of himself, K. was rather
startled. He felt old enough, God
knew, but he had always thought Of it
as an age of the spirit. He rose to his
feet and threw back his fine shoulders.

the note into his pocket.
AS he went down the Street, Will

Moyne moved quietly into the shadow
of the church and watched the car go
by.
