Hunting Coats Are rop.ilT.

The designers have rather tired OF
the sweater as it has existed for three
Years, and have introduced the velvet
nL.r-.'ng coat as q smart substitute.
The ullru Questionable uamnn is al
ready adopting this form Of sport
wrap. One of the smart models is in
raspberry red velvet embroidered in
furnished gold and raspberry red silk.
The effect is subdued, because only a
slight embroidery pattern is used, and
it mclts into the color of the velvet.
Another coat is In Robin, Hood green,
with its seams irregular and smartly
shaped and it's rolling collar lined with
old gold satin.
Snuff brown embroidered in dull
gold, makes another of these garments,
and black velvet lined with Il figured
foulard and faced with raspberry red
satin, is offered for those who indulge
in the early spring sports.
From the way that these garments
are meeting with appreciation, it looks
as though they will be much smarter
than the sweater. 1t is an interesting
, fashion note and will undoubtedly
please many women who feel that the
sweater is not quite the kind of gar
ment they want for certain affairs.
These coats viii be worn over knife
plated skirts of fine white serge OF

his father as he counted them over.
At that moment Rutledge heard a
noise at the gateway leading to the
hacienda. and springing from the
window he rushed down the pathway.
It was Pedro. The old slave NUT
tered in his ear the story of the kid
naping of Liberty.
The Captain listened. and the story
Of the outrage burned into his very
soul. and aroused his anger until he
trelnbled with rage.
In the air several times. The rangers,
who ere encamped near the barn,
heard the signal Of distress and every
n Of them was up in an instant.
Hearing the excitement Pancho and
Manuel both ran outside. The Major.
who had been asleep for some time.
awoke with a jump; leaped into his
trousers and went tearing out Of his
room.
"Boys," began R%utledge, as he turned
to his men. "Lopez and his gang have
carried Miss Liberty off to the
Ch~ihuahuas. We've got to 60 find
them and bring her back"
Then. the rangers. headed by Rut-
ledge, Major Winston and Manuel
started in pursuit Of Lopez and his
gang.
In the meantime, Liberty. who had
made n effort to escape. when she
rode her horse rel a declivity, only
to be captured again by the outlaws,
was blind-folded by Lopez. who paused
with his men ut the Forked Trail.
While doing this Liberty managed to
free her hands, and a lively time fol-
lows for a few moments. She fought
with all her strength to break away
from her abductor. In the struggle
she dropped a small American flag
from her corsage and ripping the hand
kerchief from her captor's neck
dropped It to the ground.
All night long Rutledge and his
men rode. making very slow progress.
As the began pushing its nose
above the peaked Chihuahuas they
arrived at the Forked Trails. Old
Pedro was some distance ahead, and,
rs he stopped over the road those
behind him suddenly heard an ex.
clamation Of delight.
"See, see! !" he shouted. as he limped
back 70 Rutledge. In his hand he car,
ricd q small silk American flag and
q big red handkerchief.
1T looks as though we're on the
right road" replied Rutledge.
Just before midday Rutledge and hi.
men sighted the outlaws.
Almost at the same moment Lope,
and his men saw the diminutive fig
ures Of their pursuers ascending
mile or so below them. The leader
dismounted and studied a huge rocl
which %overhung them at that point
Then he gave Instructions to one O.

rode on. followed by the rest.
Rutledge and his men continued OF
up the trail little realizing the ney
difficulty which faced them. Suddenl,
they heard q terrible, rumbling noise
and, az they looked up the mammoth
rock came tumbling down the sid
