The sports models designed for
wear at fashionable winter resorts
are showing slight changes from
similar models of last year. A diver
sion in belts and pockets or collars
is all that is permitted. because the
line of supreme simplicity for sports
clothes has been reached and, hap
PLY, has been maintained. A charm
ing model of Copenhagen blue silk
poplin is illustrated in this sports
coat and skirt. The lines of the
coat are straight, the fullness being
held by high belt. which ends in a
novel finish of dull blue wooden
beads. The same beads outline the
pockets and trim the revers. A
knife-pleated collar of white crepe
de chine attached to a blouse o.
the same material falls over the
blue revers. The skirt of this
costume is severely plain, showing

angrily. as he rubbed his bruised

Engineer Bill opened his mouth
angrily. to answer, but instead of re-
plying, he shut his lips tightly, and

Fred glared at him a moment, then
returned to his care of the fire,
But Peggy noticed that while
Fred had been angry because he
bumped his head, he was secretly
exulting. She caught all evil sheer on
his face, and she saw his lips form
words. What he said to himself
was:
ITS getting him! He will be 4

miles! Then I'll get my chance to

Peggy's' wits jumped quickly to
attention. Fred was at the bottom
of the mystery of the dancing figure.
1t was part Of his plot against the
sick engineer.
Once she had jumped to this con-
clusion. Peggy's brain worked
briskly. She must expose Fred's
work and save the engineer. But
what was there to expose? How

Peggy remembered now what
Fred had said: "I'll give him some
thing to see that will drive him
crazy" She remembered how Fred
had left the cab at the junction.
What had he done in that moment?
Peggy was determined to see, and
as the train was now slowing down
at the station of large town, she
decided not to waste any time. She
was going to inspect the ghostly
dancer.
When the train halted, she foated
out of the cab and to the front OF
the engine. Far up the tracks she
went to the distance at which the
fantastic figure had kept its place.
There was no figure there now. All
was bright and clear in the glare of
headlight and street lights.
Puzzled. and little disappointed,
Peggy turned back toward the loco

the dazzling ray of No. 1915 great

CHAPTER Nv.
Peggy Looks for a Ghost.

n EGGY held her breath as the
Night Flyer rushed on to-
ward the dancing figure on
the rails. Why didn't it jump aside
In moment the speeding train
would hit it and then-an awful
tragedy.
Engineer Bill put on the brakes
SO quickly that the wheels shrieked
and the Flyer bucked and shook in
its efforts to stop. Peggy closed
her eyes to avoid seeing what size
felt was about to happen.
Then she felt the brakes suddenly
released and the train sped ahead
again. Had the figure leaped aside
or had the train struck it. Peggy
opened her eyes and looked ahead.
She could scarcely believe what she
saw. The figure was still there III
the glare of the headlight-therc
just as far ahead of No. 357 as
when i: had first flashed into view
And yet the Flyer was again going
at mile a-minute rate or faster.
What human could race along at
that speed? Or was it human?
Perhaps it was goblin or a ghost
Peggy, leaning over Engineer
Bills shoulder to get better LOOK
at the strange apparition, saw that
he was trembling violently.
Il am seeing things" she heard
him mutter. 81 am delrious.
There's nothing on the track. It's
just a mad fancy of my poor sick
head. If there was anything there
I'd be over with it by now. I must
go on, regardless of everything
the Night Flyer can't be late"
Through a town they flashed and
the dancing figure vanished. Peggy
breathed a sigh of relief. SO did
Engineer Bill, wiping the sweat OF
nervous dread from his forehead.
Even though it was a ghost. it was
a horrible thing to have it dancing
there ahead of the train and to feel
that at any moment it might be un-
der No 337's grinding wheels.
Out into the country again, t,e
Flyer gaining fresh speed every
second to make up for the time lost
when Engineer Bill applied the
brakes. There was nothing in the
way now.
But suddenly, out of nowhere. ap-
peared the dancing figure. Right in
the middle of the tracks it swaycd
and jigged and frolicked. Instinc-
lively, Engineer Bills hand went to
the air, and Peggy felt the brakes
grip. And just as quickly Bill re-
covered himself and the train
leaped onward.

Unhappy Family Situation.

Dear Miss Fairfax: l am 10, but
appear to be a man of over 21. In
business I made several friends, one
young lady in particular, who is two
years my senior. We live but a few
doors from each other and our
friendship became such that we are
together more than we are parted.
My mother abused me for this
friendship and when the girl found
out what had happened she just had
to weep.
Though l have made many
friends, ! am not allowed to go any
where. Almost all my evenings are
spent either in business or at home.
How can ! help myself. besides
talking nicely and trying to explain
my honest convictions? H. J. S.
If you are self-supporting it might
be just as well, since you are man.
grown, for you to find lodging out
side your own home, for while at
least But if you are dependent on
your parents you will doubtless have
to continue to make concessions t,
them. 1t is, Of course, extremely
painful, since you are young man
of high principles, for your mother
to misinterpret a friendship of yours.
but since the young lady herself is
not alienated, that is really the i'm
portant thing. isn't it? And some
times a friendship maintained under
difficulties is stronger for that very
reason.

fact of your being cousins might
constitute real problem. But since
you evidently are not, why not avoid
the problem altogether? You are

you will not feel the uncertainty that
