sitting on the highest blum we could
nnu, Tom and looked around.
mat compass is somewhere among
these internal rocks-if 1t ever was
carved there at all--that's one thing
certain. Tom; but look at the rocks I"
over twenty miles of rocks north
and south, and from two to six from
east to west. A more hopeless Job the
lnind OF man could not conceive. Tom
snook his head, and scratched his
graying wool.
I go most by the ghost, sar," he
said. "All these men had never been
Ailieo II the ghost hadn't been some
Wnere near. Mark me, If we find the
treasure it'll be by the ghost"
That's all very WELL" l laughed.
But how are we going to get the
ghost to show his hand? He's got
such bloodthirsty ways with him."
They always have. sar," said Tom,
no doubt with some ancestral shudder
OF voodoo worship In his blood. "Yes,
sar, they always cry out for blood. It's
all they've got to live on. They drink
1t like you and me drink coffee or
rum. It's terrible to hear them in the
night"
We'll. Tom," l remarked. you may
be right, but of one thing I'm certain !;
II the ghosts going to get any one, 1t
sha'n't be YOU"
We've both got one good chance
against them" Tom was beginning.
Don't tell me again about that old
sucking fish,"
Mind you keep 1t safe, for all that"
said Tom gravely. II wouldn't lose
mine for thousand pounds"
We'll. all right, but let's forget the
damned old ghosts for the present"
We decided to try plan that was
really no plan at all; that Is to say, to
seek more or less at random, till we
consumed all our stores except Just
enough to take US home. Meanwhile
we would, each of us, every day, cut a
sort Of radiating swathe, working SIM
gle-handed. from the cove entrance.
Thus we would prospect as much of
the country as possible in a sort of
fan, both Of us keeping our eyes open
for compass carved on q rock. In

this way we might hope to cover no in
considerable stretch of the country in
the three weeks, and, moreover, the
country most likely to give some re-
suits, as being that lying in semicir-
Gle from the little harbor where the
ships would have lain. 1t wasn't much
Of a plan perhaps. but 1t seemed the
most possible among the impossibles.
Harder work than we had under
taken no men have ever set their hands
to. 1t would have broken the back of
the most able-bodied NAVY; and when
we reached the boat at sunset we had
scarce strength left to eat our supper
and roll into our hunks. A machete
is a heavy weapon that needs no little
skill In handling with economy of
force, and Tom, who had been brought

taffeta f1ounces have been placed one
above the other, extending from the
bodice line to the knee.
Each fiounce is fringed az the edge
and line Of bright brocaded flowers
runs through its center.
Little tassels Of silk. of soft tubu-
lar silk cord, of chenille and of beads
have a by no means ineonsiderable
place in the seasons trimmings.
A brown velvet afternoon frock with
a simple short sleeved crossover
bodice has a double skirt, each f1ounce
Of which is accordion plated.
In the French Collections.
In the French collections, one sees
an occasional model which possesses
tunic bordered with a rather wide
band of fox but on the whole the
furs used for trimming either duve
tyn or satin frocks are the short
haired furs such as Persian lamb,
squirrel or kolinsky and these in mar
row bands are used for edgings or are
set on the fabrics in many lines, close
together. Often, hanging tabs of the
fabric at the neck or girdle terminate
in small fur balls.
Narrow bands of brightly striped
silk are used to relieve the neck and
sleeves of a sober frock and we find
the pleasing fashion Of finishing
navy blue serge frock with a sash Of
Roman striped ribbon.
Ribbons should have a whole chap
ter devoted to their beauty and their
many uses, which range from nose
gays to entire frocks. But there is
only space to mention the enormously
wide and brilliantly brocaded ribbons
which can be made to go very far to-
ward the fashioning Of an evening
toilette.
Evening Gown Trimmings.
When one enters the realm of
fabrics and trimmings which are only
suitable for evening gowns the variety
is so bewildering that 1t Is hard to
know where to begin and quite i'm
possible to know when to stop.
Perhaps 1t is as well to only touch
in passing on the sequined and beaded
landings, the jeweled passementeries
and girdles, the exquisite laces threaded
with gold and silver and all the other
luxurious trimmings and dwell with
most weight upon the charming new
tricks which evening frocks take upon
themselves in these days.
Skirts are pulled over reeds on the
hips to produce the infanta silhouette,
are scalloped, killed or finely ruffed.
The fashion of cutting the fabric
into deep scallops or vandykes and
mounting these in gathers or fine
plaits on a narrow skirt is a new and
pretty one. They are intended to rep
resent flower petals and handmade
flowers of silk are an all but indls-
pensable adjunct to the modish eve
ming frock.
Roses of the material of the frock
are as often seen as those OF the
natural color of the flower One frock
in green taffeta has its three-tiered
skirt bordered with green taffeta
roses.

better practitioner than 1.
have already limited at the kind Of
devils underbrush we had to cut our
way through, but no words can do JUS
tee to the almost intelligent stubborn
ness with which those weird growths
opposed US. 1t really seemed as though
they were inspired by a diabolic will
force pitting itself against our will,
vegetable incarnation of evil strength
and fury and cunning.
Day after day Tom and l returned
home dead beat, with hardly q tired
word to exchange with each other.
We had now been at 1t for about a
fortnight, and loved the old chap
more every day for the grit and cour-
age with which he supported our ter
rible labors and kept up his spirits
Once or twice we had made fancied
discoveries which we called of the
other to see, and once or twice we had
tried some blasting on rocks that
seemed to suggest mysterious tunnel
ings into the earth. But 1t had all
proved vain thing and a WEAKNESS
OF the flesh. And the ghost Of John P.
Tobias still kept his secret.

Be Agreeable.

The true art of being agreeable is
to appear well pleased with all the
company, and rather TO seem well en-
tertained with them than to bring en-
tertainment to them. A man thus dis
posed may not have much learning
nor any wit; but if he has common
sense, and something friendly in his
behavior, 1t conciliates mems minds
more than the brightest parts without
the sposition.-Addison.

Cure fe. rheumatism.

A certain variety cf seaweed. known
in Ireland as "tope," has been recon-
mended by a famous physician as a
cure for rheumatism and throat affec-
tons if eaten hot. whilst in some parts
of England and Wales a variety Of
seaweed, known as "laver," has been
in demand for years as a vegetable.
Served with roast meats 1t is said to
be extremely palatable.

they are combined with the various

An exceedingly handsome trimming
Is displayed on brown velvet gown
of utmost severity except for the long
straight tunic of brown georgette,
which is hemmed and completely COW
cred by bold design.
Black braid, rather wide, is the trim
ming which distinguishes a severe
black frock in which the upper por-
ton to the hip line is of velvet, while
the skirt is of heavy crepe satin. The
braid is crossed and recrossed in dia-
mond shape on the front and back Of
the skirt, the ends terminating in loops
which droop at the side.
Tassels and Rosettes.
A blue serge frock has bands of
fancy black braid, crossing the front
horizontally and caught at intervals
by tiny tassels. On another frock of

Enriglnt Lays Two
Slayings to Troops:
Denies Crime Wave
Quotes Alienist i'm His After.
the-War Contention: Also
Insists Number of Muir
ders Here Is Decreasing

Police Commissioner Enright last
night again blamed crime on the SOL
diers. He again denied that New York
has a crime wave.
Speaking before the Richmond Hill
Civic Association, he laid two of the
most revolving murders New York has
experienced ln years to the door of q
soldier.
These two crimes were the murders
of Miss Mary Elizabeth Riddell, seven
teen-year-old Office clerk, and Mrs.
Helma Southland, a church singer. Both
were Brooklyn women. Both were
killed near their homes early in the
evening.
The commissioner quoted noted
ahenist as saying: "After all great
wars, in which high explosives we're
used, men suffering from shell shock,
VINO to all appearances were quite well,
have suddenly committed some unusual
crime"
Then, referring to the murders of
these two Brooklyn women in January,
Enright said:
The crimes were similar and were
undoubtedly committed by the same
MAN. No one was seen on those nights
who might be suspected Of committing
The crimes, but soldiers were seen
Both these crimes were IN the vicinity
of military campo
81 don't place the blame for these
crimes on soldiers directly, but the
facts lead me to believe they were
committed by soldiers
Enright asserted chat instead of hay
ing n crime wave New York is having
a decrease in murders He said po-
lice statistics prove it, He added that
New York Is fortythird on the list OF
American cities in point OF great crimes
committed.
