A Clever Burro.

A friend tells us the following about
Rowdy, a burro he bought as foaT
in Colorado and brought home to Mas
sachusetts for his children: "Rowdy IL
now an aged pensioner, but he has
been as clever a little pet and servant
as one could wish. His friendship for
the family cow has been one of the
distinguishing features Of his career.
They used to stand side by side in
the stable, and in the pasture would
actually play tag. The COW began
years ago with her rough tongue to
lick Rowdy's face. When he attempted
to reciprocate the courtesy, his smooth
tongue made no impression. This then
is what we have seen him do hun-
dred times: He would find small
stick, take it in his teeth, and scratch
the cow all about the eyes, and ears
and horns" Can anyone call this In
stinct? Was such an idea tucked away
in Rowdy's brain when he was born.
part of his inheritance from genera
tons of ancestral burros? That
would seem out Of the question. We
are inclined to thfLk that Rowdy
thought out the stick idea for himself.

New Dress Feature Not SO Start
ling as Name Indicates.
Bulge Obtained by Arrangement Of Ma
terial in the Skirt Is Not for tho
Stout Woman.

Announcement that the "bustle
dress" had again arrived caused quite
a furore There is now every indica-
ton that it will have considerable
vogue.
The public has almost become sur
feited with straight-line "chemise"
frocl1s, and the barrel silhouette" has
also enjoyed two seasons of life, SO
that new silhouette is naturally well
coined. 1t is well to emphasize, how
ever, that the hustle dress is becoming
only to women at least of medium
height and of slender figure. Worn
by "stout" woman, the hustle dress
even in its very moderate form would
be grotesque and hopelessly unbecom-
ing, says a fashion writer in the Wash
ington Star. But the side flare of the
barrel" skirt, if selected with care,
could be worn by any woman, and the
same rule applies to the straight-line
chemise frock.
The hustle dress is really not so
startling as first announcements indi-
Gated. When made of any of the wool
fabrics, it usually consists of two,
thrse or four loops, laid one over the
other, like sash ends, gathered and
plated into the waist at the top, so
that slight bulge is effected, which
seems larger by contrast with the mar
row, straight skirt it is a part Of. Or
large tucks may be similarly treated,
with an apron overskirt or tunic of
some sort joining the tucks at either
side and continuing around the front

ARE YOU WEARING coLoRs?
They Should Be Used as an Emblem,
Not as Dress Accessory, De-
cIares Writer.

Every patriotic woman ought to
wear the red, white and blue as sign
IF her patriotism. But she ought to
wear the flag as an emblem and
badge and not as a dress adjunct, de-
clares writer in the New York Sun.
Smartly dressed women everywhere
have been among the first to adopt the
custom Of wearing small gold enam-
eled or ribbon flag on the coat lapel.
Among women of official society in
Washington there is hardly one woman
who does not wear the tiny flag.
So highly do they regard the use Of
the colors, in fact, that among women
who know what is correct, it is even
customary to wear the tiny flag when
In the deepest mourning. And in Wash
lngton one frequently sees woman
In her first widows weeds wearing the
small flag on the lapel of her coat.
The small enameled pins are perhaps
the neatness of these badges. If the
Tiny silk flags are used instead they
should not be pierced by the pin that
holds them in place. A tiny bit of silk
should be attached to the back end Of
he flag and this should be pierced with
he pin.

COLLARS BOTH HIGH AND LOW
Many Shapes and Materials Are Used
for These Accessories and One
May Take Her Choice.

Anyone who wants high collars may
have them. The designers have seen

The roll collar, with deep points in
front, is a favorite and newer than
any of the many versions of the sailor
shape, says writer In the New York
Evening Sun. 1t is more becoming
and suitable for anyone save the young
things, too. No woman past her early
twenties ought to wear sailor col
lar, though many a grandmother does.
The popularity of square-cut blouse
and frock necks has brought out
host of dainty collars in satin, geor-
gette, organdie, muslin, what you win,
shaped for wearing with these square
necks, rolling at the back and down
the sides, but leaving the neck line
across the front uncollared. Some
times a little tucker or chemisette to
match the collar is provided.

Given soft satins and flmy laces to
work with what designer Of woman's
clothes can resist draperies and frills?
Satin, when it falls in folds, plays
with the light and reveals all the beau
ty of color, and lace has always some
charming story to tell. The most is

with narrow bands Of black paillettes.
Over this satin is wrapped about the
figure in drapery high as one side
and terminating In long sash ends.
These are knotted below the waistline
and hang to the bottom of the skirt,
weighted with a handsome ornament
made Of beads. The skirt is gathered
at the waist and draped at the sides.
It is shorter than the underpettico

CHAPTER XXI.
The Priest From MoncIoy1


That was night of terror for the
women. Although Longorio's disci-
pline was in some ways strict, in 9TH
ers 1t was extremely lax. From some
quarter his men had secured a supply
of mescal, and, forgetful of Felipe's
unhappy fate, they rendered the hours
hideous. There were singing and quar-
reling, and a shot or two sounded from
the direction of the outbuildings. Morn
ing found both Alaire and Dolores
sadly overwrought. But they felt
some relief upon learning that the gen.
eral had been Unexpectedly summoned
from his bed at daylight, and had rid
den to the telegraph office.
Profiting by his absence, Alaire ven
tured from her room, racking her brain
to devise some means of escape. But
soldiers were everywhere; they lolled
around the servants quarters; they
dozed in the shade of the ranch build
tngs, recovering from the nights de-
bauch; and an armed sentinel who
paced the hacienda road gave evidence
that, despite their apparent careless
ness, they had by no means relaxed
their vigilance. A round Of the prem
Uses convinced Alaire that the place
was actually guarded, and showed her
the futility Of trying to slip away. She
realized, too, that even If she managed
to do so, her plight would be little
better. For how could she hope to
cover the hundred miles between La
Feria and the Rio Grande when every
peon was an enemy?
She was standing in one of the open,
gaShless windows when her former
protector, the old lieutenant, babe her
good morning and paused to smoke a
cigarette.

swiftly into the lamplight. He paused,
blinking as If momentarily blinded. and
Alaire clutched at the nearest chair
for support. A roaring began in her
ears; she felt herself sway forward as
if the strength had left her knees. She
heard Dawes voice family he was say
ing:
TAKE care Of my horse. Feed and
water her well, Understand When
General Longorio comes tell him am
waiting here"
AS if in a dream, Alaire saw the
hind him. Then she saw Dave come
toward her, heard him speak her name,
felt his arms around her.
Alaire did not swoon, but she never
could remember very distinctly those
first few moments. Scarcely knowing
what she did, she found herself cling
ing to her lover, laughing, weeping,
feeling him over with shaking hands
that would not be convinced Of his
reality. She was aware Of his kisses
upon her lips, her eyes, her hair; he
was saying something which she could
not understand because Of that roaring
| in her ears.
"You heard me calling" she told him
at last. "Oh. / was-so frightened"
She chung closer To him. After time
she discovered that she was mechanic

the questions he was putting to her,
but had only the vaguest idea what
they were. By and by she began to
tell him about Longorio, speaking in a
sort Of hypnotic murmur, as If her

And all the time she snuggled against
his breast.

'Soi Let us go outside and learn
more about this" Longorio waved his
men before him, and followed them out
of the room and down the hall and
into the night.
When a moment or two had dragged
past, Dolores quavered. "What are
they going to do with him?"
II don't know. Anyhow, you need

There sounded the report Of gun.
