IN NECKWEAR, veils, gloves, purses. 1 vanity boxes and jewelry. the shops are showing novel and smart things that will tone up the plainest of street suits or frocks. And now that simplicity is the keynote of street dress these distinctive accessories are important and growing more so, along with hats which must always make or mar the success of the rest of the cos tune. Women are centering attention on these details and on footwear therefore we see dawning a summer that ought to add the witness of one more season to the claim that Ameri- can women are better dressed than any others.
 Neckwear is important because the new coats call for it. There are high uecked pieces among the displays for wear with suit coats, as well as many that leave the throat uncovered. Ja- bots and friIIs have reappeared among the high-necked guimps, although there are many without frills. Very handsome ones are intricately made up of several kinds of laces and fine embroideries set together and deep

 on hill that overlooks the river. Dad dy took me and came up here in the tlatwoOds to forget. I guess he couldn't forget, for he never went back"
 The Pearlhunter was sorry he had asked the question. The grave that overlooked the riveri Was there not another such grave-not three days old; the orchids upon it still alive 1! The gray eyes followed the blue into the pensive shadows.
 'T wonder what 1t means" he medi- tated half aloud. You are to fall heir to his fortune, if no word comes. What word. do you suppose? And why should any word prevent you falling heir to his fortune,-your father's?",
 q wondered about that. I guess it's just lawyer talk. Do Hbu think I should answer that letter."
 q think you should"
 ''But what would I say? As I said a while ago, I never wrote a letter."
 Neither did l." He saw the answer did not relieve the perplexity on the thoughtful face. and went on. But I'd tell him about your life here, and about your father's-aecident. and that this is the first letter you've re- ceived for seven years" He hesitated, seemed to study his next word, finally added: And I believe I'd ask him to come; yes. believe would-ask him to come"
 ''Why, of course; why couldn't I think of that? Now you'd better lie down while get you mite of SUD- per-"
 In an instant he was on his feet, protesting.

silk thread. At least nine times out of ten these decorations are in the same color as the suit, but there are exceptions to all rules, and the new Asuits present models with a contrast ing color or black used with the match ing color. There are occasional models in which short coats are elabOrately embroidered with many colors.
 Two representative suits. each en- belIished with embroidery. are shown in the picture above. The model at the left having points that pronounce it up to date, in the fastening of the coat at the waist line only, and in the bell sleeves. Blouses and handsome neckwear are much in evidence in coats of this kind. The skirt may be taken as a criterion in length and width, and every other particular, in- cluding tailoring that must be de scribed as exquisite.
 In the suit of beige-coIored poiret twill at the right, the straight-line coat invites attention to elaborate em- brOidery across the back. Small en- broidered motifs at each side the front also help to enrich 1t.

CHAPTER XIII.
The sheriHs Nudqe.

The sheriff's barn stood against the hillside. the distance of half a block back of his house. He had been in the saddle most of the day. It was dalk when he rode into his barn lot to put up his tired horse.
 So intent was he upon his task, so eager to hurry it over and get back to the house to supper, that he failed to notice a dark form stealing down off the bluff, through the bushes, and along the barn wall.
 The task finished, the sheriff closed house.
 "Sh-hl'
 He whirled, and found himself gag ing down the wrong end of a steady six-gun in the hand of the very man he had been hunting all day. The sheriff was a brave man, but he knew where bravery ends and foolhardiness begins. His hands went up as quick ly as he could get them up. The man with the six-gun carried his arm in a sling. It must have cost him torture to take 1t out, but he did it; reached over and plucked the sheriff's revolver out of his holster, thrust it into his blouse and put his arm back into the sling.
 'Listen !" There was no misunder- standing that whisper 'rI'n not hurt you if you do as I say. Creep up the

 "Your obedient serv't, "GEO. ESKRIDGE.' .''
 A voice out of the big world she had visited only in dreams She glanced again at the letter, looked hard at the opening of the third paragraph, dropped her hands in her lap and turned to her companion. He had bent forward and sat staring at the floor.
 What does it mean?"
 "It means" he said slowly after a time, with his eyes still on the floor, that you are a rich heiress; and you've got a-name."
 "A name!" she repeated, her wom- ans intuition instantly catching the minor note. "So have you, and"-she reached in her bosom and drew out the draft-"a fortune. And you made them both yourself"
 He glanced at the draft; waved it away without lifting his head.
 Keep 1t, please, for me till after tonight"
 She put it back in her bosom, picked up the letter and sat pondering, steal ing an occasional glance at his glum face.
 Seven years the letters came" the man unused, half aloud, land you never received them. The postmaster has stroke-you receive the very next let ter that comes"

 The man raised his eyes after time to the bright spots of metal in the gathering gloom above the mantel.
 "The letter called him famous sol dier. Maybe that's his sword, and spurs?"
 "They are"
 And you keep them shining bright like that?"
 Always"
 The man was silent long time. One other question had come to him, but he dreaded to ask it. He twisted him self around so as to look. into the face of his companion. It was deeply thoughtful. Things had recently hap pened in his own life that had brought the question to his mind. Finally very softly, reverently, he ventured it forth. And your mother?"
 The girl caught her breath; dropped one hand, doubtless unconsciously, up on his shoulder. Her lashes dropped low.
 'T never saw herr" she said, after a time. And she-never saw mel" There was a pause. "Her grave is

Reversed.

A famous Scotch minister of the last century was very absent minded and many amusing stories are told of this awkward failing. On one Occa- sion he had arranged to preach in a certain church a few miles from Aber- deen. He set out on 8 pony in good time, but wher near the end of the journey he felt desire to take pinch of snuff. The wind was blowing in his face, so he turned the head of the pony around, the better to enjoy the luxury. Pocketing his snuffbox. he started the pony without thinking to turn 1t in the right direction, and he did not discover his error until he folnd himself back in Aberdeen, at the very time when he ought to have been preaching seven miles away.-BuffalO Commercial.

TN THE pursuit of happiness women have been going earnestly and in dustriOusly in quest of new suits for what is Easter without the inspira- tion of new and gladstone apparel?

And I wouldn't think of letting you go without"
 When a woman talks like that, it's no use to argue. The Pearlhunter didn't-which shows that he was learning-fast.
 ''Will you eat with me againT"
 She swept him a deep courtesy.
 ''If the famous finder of the Blue Moon is not ashamed to eat with his cook"
 He bowed low It cost him pang in his side, but it didn't get to his face.
 'If the rich heiress, Miss Hesper Dawn, is not above eating with the the Pearlhunter-"
 Wonderful is the residence of youth. With a gay laugh she danced away to the kitchen. He tramped after her.
 His two old friends, the Boss and 6our-faced Bull MastersOn, would have been astonished at the sounds that came through that kitchen door.

''The Timber Buyer Is Your Man."

 That supper! Bacon and eggs, brown toast, and coffeeI And the hands that poured that coffee and put the sugar in, and spread the toast! cit had to be eaten In semidarkness, for 1t wouldn't do to risk a candle-semi- darkness, but not in silence. He for got that the girl just around the cor ner of the table had turned out to be a rich heiress-the princess" of his fairy story-while he was only the Pearlhunter-a man without a name.
 Twilight at the windows warned him that the dark was lowering like a night raven over the woods. His time had come. The business of a man was afOOt.
 She closed the stove hearth to hide the fire light. He opened the east door of the kitchen, once more the grave, cautious woodsman. She held out her hand; he laid 1t upon the arm in the sling; covered it with his own.
 "Wild Rose i' he said. You'll al- ways be that, no matter what they call you."
 The fancy went through him that her hand thrilled, ever so slightly, up- on his arm. He closed his great palm over it.
 'The woods shall be safe tomorrow for you-and me-" he said, and fol- lowed the words with the boldest act of his life-picked up the hand from his arm and laid it to his lips. The next instant he had slipped away into the gathering night.
 Buried in the bushes, he spared a second to look back. She was still in the dark frame of the door.
 A sound like the passing of a whfs- per, like the breeze playing with soft leaves, caught his quick ear. A gray ghost-the Wild Man of the FIatwoods fitted along under the cliffs and en- tered the cabin.

When a New Guinea woman falls in love with a man she sends piece of string to his sister, or. if he has no sister, to his mother or another of his lady relatives. Then the lady who receives the string tells the favored man that the particular. woman Is in love with him. No cOurtlng follows. however, for it Is considered beneath a New Guinea mans dignity to waste time in such pursuit. If the man thinks he would like to wed the lady. he meets ner clone, and they decide whether to marry or drop the idea.

hill to the top of the Dluff. Keep out of sight as much as possible. I'll be right behind you"
 The sheriff was not a brilliant man, but he did have a saving grain Jf horse sense. He crept-along the barn wall, up the hill through the bushes and into the thick woods at the top of the bluff The shadow be- hind him was noiseless, but he knew that 1t was there.
 "To Fallen Rock" came a low, in cisive command. You know the way"
 He knew the way. He took it. He never liked to remember that Journey. r It brought the sweat out on his head to recall it. Not even a sheriff-a Flatwoods sheriff, to boot-has a stom- ach for tramp through the dark at the point of a six-gun in the hands of such a man.
 At the spring around back of the west end of the old cabin, he hesi- tated, undecided whether that was the final destination, and yet dreading to make the mistake. if it wasn't. The gun muzzle prodded him onto the brink of the pool under the falls. Barely out of reach of the spray, the shadow came around and faced him.
 "You think Pm the Red Mask. The whole town thinks I am. Like pack of hounds you've hunted me today, but you hunted the wrong man. The real Red Mask was one of the pack. That timber buyer is your man."
 The sheriff started. The cold voice went on.
 Did you ever know him to buy a timber option?- Did you ever hear of any that he bought?"
 No"
 The sheriff was surprised to find his mouth dry, his tongue stiff.
 And you never will. He deliberate ly planned to lay the murder of Louie Solomon on me. He's the real mur derer, and has the Blue Moon at this minute. knew it all along, but had no proof. Tonight I expect to get my proof and brought you along to help me get it."
 The Pearlhunter briefly explained what he had chanced to learn the eve ming before after escaping from the jail.
 Had you never noticed that he comes down this way every night?" he concluded.
 ''Yes. but I understood it was to see a girl"
 The Pearlhunter winced. His jaw frightened. He was thinking of the talk that had probably been bandied back and forth over the bar of the Mud Hen.
 "He came to feed his horse. There's no girl down here his mouths it to mention. He'll come tonight = any minute now. Quickl Out on that fiat rock"
 Without a word, the sheriff bounded over the two intervening stones to the fiat rock. The Pearlhunter waited just long enough to sound the woods. The noise of the falls made it impossible. With a searching look back up the bluff as far as his eyes would carry in the gloom, he joined the sheriff.
 Jump. I told you how"
