slowly, his lips compressed, his eyes
on the floor.
'There is no longer anything for

''Nothing but death! I can find that

border, senor. I think-that you are

The present styles in afternoon
gowns play into the hands of many
women who. have learned to make one
frock serve for both afternoon \and
evening. They managed very we'll In
this same matter during the war, when
evening dress. was taboo, and now
Paris has dealt the cards SO that the
game becomes easy. There Is vogue
for bare arms, or very abbreviated
sleeves, on French gowns, that Is re-
dected here in short sleeves made Of
the sheerest fabrics that merely veil
the arms. It doesn't take much ma
neuvering~ on the part Of clever
woman to place an afternoon fgock Of
this kind in the class Of evening gowns.
The addition Of the right accessory
the removal of guilnpe. the arrange
ment of the coiffure-and the trick is
turned.
An alluring frocR for afternoon has
been presented by famous Fifth
avenue house and is shown at the
right Of the picture above. 1t is made
The Tomahawk., 1919-08-28

of cream-colored net and embroidered
in little beads in pale rose color. The
skirt Is very cleverly draped and
there is flat ribbon girdle about the
waistline. One can imagine it with a
more brilliant girdle, evening slippers
and high 'coiffure, more than holding
its own when compared with regula-
tion evening gowns.
Net and wide lace make the simpler
frock at the left, with four straight
panels of plated net set In the over
dress. It is worn over satin slip and
has satin girdle. The bodice is very
full, cut low at the front, and worn
with u dainty vestee of narrow lace
and net. The very plain sleeves are a
little longer than elbow length but can
be gathered up In small plaits and
shortened for evening. This, and a
girdle of bright ribbon, fastened with
one of the big rhinestone buckles will
place this frock in the evening class
Ora broca'led girdle or one of cloth
of silver will accomplish this matter.

Tore rose swiftly to his feet, draw

He had thrown.

"You have another throw" De Ia
Guerra reminded him. "The ace can
not be beaten, but 1t may be tied!"
Now Tore scooped the die up in his
box and with no moment of hesitation
turned it out upon the table. Again
Tore had thrown an ace!
''Try again." said De Ia Guerra crisp.
". ut is growins late"
With curse Tore again caught up
the die, again it ratified in the box,
again it rolled half across the table.
"A four!" he gasped.
"A four is not bad" De la Guerra
reminded him. 1T may win. Again,
senor."
A four! If he turned a three next
time, or q deuce, he was saved. If the
die showed an ace again, six or five,
he was lost!
Again he took up the die, again cast.

Tore threw down the box. He had

flung proudly up. "And now," he cried,
''where is my lame horse? It is late, as
you say"
He bowed and went out into the pa.
ito, where Gaucho and a half dozen of
the cowboys were waiting. De Ia
Guerra sighed.
"He is a brave man." he said gently.
"Ah, well, he has one chance in ten
thousand. Well. for brave man"
Then they heard the galloping of sew
