might be made in serge, gaberdine, or

many others, it bears the imprint of

wrapped easily about the waist, and in
the patch pockets.
This Is one of those designs which
are adapted to almost any color. 1t has

match up with the peculiar shades of

CHAPTER XIV.
Discovery.

He was up and out in the cool OF
dawn, before sunrise, delaying to listen
for some minutes at the foot OF the
stairway. But he heard no sound in
that still house, and there was no
longer the night to alright the woman
with hinted threats of nameless hOr-
rors lurking beneath its impenetrable
stand sentinel on the threshold of her
apprehensions. He went out.
The day would be clear. In the

man life was quickening; here and
there pale streamers of smoke swung
up from hidden chimneys on its wood

Whitaker eyed them with longing.
But they were distant from attain
ment by at the least three miles of
tideway through which strong waters
raced. He wagged q doubtful head
and scoWled; no sign in any quarter
Of q boat heading for the island, no
al ho fol- off
cursed place!
In his mutinous irritation, the
screaming Of the gulls, over in the
west, seemed to add the final touch
of annoyance, a superfluous addition
to the sum of his trials. What was
the matter with the Anticipated things
anyway?
There was nothing to hinder him
from investigating for himself. The
girl would probably sleep another hour
or two.
He went forthwith, dulling the keen
edge of his evaporation with a rapid
tramp of half a mile or so over the
uneven uplands.
The screaming was well-nigh deafen.

Below, a slow tide crawled, SLAYER

In a wave-scooped depression between
two of the large powders, the reced-
ing waters had left q little, limpid
pool. In the pool lay the body of
a man, face downward, limbs fright
fully sprawling. Gulls fought for
place upon his back.
The discovery brought with 1t no
shock of surprise to the man on the
bluff; horror alone. He seemed to
have known all along that such would
be the cause. But he shrank shudder-
ing from the thought of the work
that lay to his hand-work that must
be accomplished at once and COM
pletely; for she must know nothing
of it. She had suffered enough, as
it was.

Iife's GLOOMY Joy.

Do you ever feel that nobody in the
world cares anything for you? If you
never feel that way, you miss one of
the greatest melancholy pleasures of
life. When you feel that you have
no friends, and that the whole world
Is against you, you should not argue
with yourself that you are wrong. You
should go to some quiet place, where
you can be alone, and there sit down
and enjoy your grief. Of course. all
people cannot find comfort in this kind
of thing. Many Of them are not for
tunate enough to have the proper view
of life. In order to enjoy gloomy hap
piness you must believe that the world
Is unkind. If you don't believe that
much, there is no use of your seek
ing the sad joy that comes to those
who do believe it.-Fort Worth Star

surely turn round to look it over and
to wonder at the cleverness Of its de-
signer.
Because of its pockets and buttons
and it's odd belt, Spring, 1917 Is
written boldly on the suit pictured.
And because Of her suit and hat and
her swagger stick the judgment OF
their wearer is above question; she
knows smart style and chooses 1t for
her own.
1t does not take long to tell the
story of the pretty suit, since its skirt
is plain and all its points of interest
centered in the coat, which is short.
Although women are reluctant about
giving up short skirts, this model
reaches an inch or so below the shoe
top, and shows the insistence of de-
signers in their attempt to bring long

in Country Life.
Even in peace-time the life of the
village moves slowly, he says, but
since the tocsin sounded wars alarm
1t merely creeps along. Outwardly
nothing is changed very much; the
small white houses with their bright
red roofs catch the smile and frown
of every passing cloud, the poplars
sing and murmur as they always have,
the little gray church shows an open
door and up the broken pavement of
its aisle stray lightsome sunbeams,
fallen leaves and dogs of more or less
sober reputation, as well as women
with heavy, anxious hearts who go to
pray.
Old women in blue handkerchief
caps lead their cows to Craze along the
green roadsides, and younger women
90 down to the stream to wash clothes.
In the fields work elderly men, women,
soldiers home on leave and few
children. The long strips of cultivated
ground which make the hillsides look
like a patchwork quilt pass through
the usual yearly processes of tilling,
sowing, reaping and gathering in the
fruits Of labor. Poppies, cornf1owers,
ragged robin, blue birds eyes, the
cuckoo flower and q hundred others
come in turn and throw their beauties
to the right and to the left with that
prodigal generosity which is natures
splendid way. The birds are as gen.
erous with their song as the flowers
with their beauty, and among this
pageant of joy and loveliness walks
the slow-moving, thrifty French peas

All the Younger Men Gone.
The war has drawn from the village
all it's younger men, and already 30 of
them have paid the supreme sacrifice
as against ten in the war Of 1870.
Others have come home lame and
MANNED, others still are fighting. In
one of the little white cottages with
a garden renowned for its strawber-
ries and asparagus you will find a we'll
built young woman with straight dark
brows and a mouth which tells Of both
temper and tenderness. She is busy
patching an old pair of blue overalls
such as French workmen wear. OPP
posite her sits an elderly man with
fine sensitive eyes and a strong beard.
He Is reading the Petit Parisien, the
favorite village paper; "Another at
tack on Mort Hon1me." The young
woman's heart is sick within her at
the words. She is not married, has no
son of her own, but she has been
mother to her five brothers since she
was fourteen. They were all mobil-
ized when France went to war. One

lighted it. Then over her shoulder:

When He Escaped.

The other Sunday evening, when
church service was over, young cur
ate started on his journey home, ac-
companied by two young ladies of the
choir, when they began conversation
about hymns.
"What is your favorite hymn?"
asked the curate, turning to one Of
his fair companions.
"'Draw me nearer" she replied.
At that moment her companion, who
was walking on the other side Of the
curate, to make matters worse, said
innocently:
"That Is only the chorus; the COM
mencement of the verse is, 7 am
