tor Walsh OF Montana, who de-
clared:

flower crowns. Single flower motifs

flowers in pastel shades, fruits, foil
age, Indian beads, and ribbons do their
share to aid the charm of various
models
Chinese coins are surely an eecen-
trio trimming. Instead of silk, en-
broidery, narrow velvet ribbon is en-
ployed to form cattails, flowers, and
other hat ornamentations.

lesser dress accessories as to the most

He lowered his eyes before her, and
then spoke suddenly: "It is too cold
for you. I'll get your furs."
| He tried to lead her inside She re-
| fused. There seemed nothing for him
! to do but leave her there and go for
! her wraps.
| She stared at the crowd, then on sud-
! den impulse ran down the steps to a
policeman standing on the walk. Tim
idly she tapped him on the arm. 1.-THE
man who just went by SO hurriedly-
he was poorly dressed, had a SLOUGH
hat and a beard, did you see which
way he went?' she asked.
The policeman pointed to the right
and Gloria started Immediately to run
| that way. The streets were i'll lit and
poor, but she hurried on with hardly
Il glance at her surroundings. To lose
| the real murderer now was unthinh-
able to her; to have had him there in
the very arms Of the law, the man
whom she had seen actually do her
lover to death, only to have him es-
cape again, drove her into a frenzy
She ran on, peering into dark door
ways and alleys. Judge Freeman,
whom she had watched all evening
mete out punishment to far lesser
crimes, had actually made no effort to
catch this demon for her. What was
the mystery of it all? Why were they
all in league to thwart her and to re-
fuse vengeance on hicks slayer?
Her brain was whirling, her search
ing eyes ached and burned as they
peered vainly ahead for the dread fig
ure of the tramp. So absorbed was
Gloria in her pursuit that she gave
no thought to the dangers she was
exposing herself to, and the dangers
were many. It was bad district, q
very hotbed of crime and poverty.
The hour was midnight and she was
alone-a young and beautiful woman
carrying money and jewels, as well
as her own priceless girlhoCd, but the
impetus Of her search carried her on
without thought for her own safety.
Doctor Royce and her father had
returned with her wraps to the court
house steps only to find her gone, and
wild with anxiety, they started reck-
lessly in pursuit, each taking a differ
ent direction. BY misfortune neither
of them was right.
Meanwhile Gloria FASTENED on. She
actually caught glimpse Of the tramp
ahead Of her; he was lettering in a
doorway gnawing a crust of bread
hungrily, and she redoubled her speed
but he started on and turned the cor
ner Of a street while she was in the
middle Of a block and when she got
there he was nowhere in sight.
, Suddenly she realized she was tired
and weak, that she could actually go
no farther, and that she must rest. AS
+ she slackened her pace she was
/ alarmed at seeing a rough-looking
man cross the street toward her; he
reeled as he came on, so that she was
, further aroused to danger at thinking
him, under the influence Of liquor
She did not know that this was one OF
the numerous lodges Of the pickpocket
and that she would have been safer
with an actually intoxicated man. She
looked up and down the street as far
as she could see, but there were no
policemen in sight, and, hearing steps
