nGood AnoeIn unappreciated.

Many times our best angels are not
appreciated. The very fact that we
are so accustomed to their ministry
makes them commonplace. Bill was
handy man at a certain college. He
didn't get rich on what he did bat he
knew more about things than any one
there. He just naturally took the re-
sponsibllity for everything. But no
one appreciated him. In fact he be-
came something Of a joke and every
body took occasion to shove of re-
sponslbility on him knowing that he
could be counted on putting anything
through that he undertook. SO they
worked the willing horse until he was
picked up by a more appreciative con-
Germ and the college lost a good angel.
incidentally might add, two men and
n typlst are doing the same work.

cupful. The Pearlhunter held 1t to
the mans lips. He couldn't swallow,
but the TOUGH Of the water seemed to
revive him. He opened his eyes and
stared, like "a man trying to make out
objects In a very dim light. His eyes
caught the glitter Of the sheriff's star,
frowned, raised, found the Pearlhunter
and strained hard at him.
"And 1t was cussed Warbritton
that got me at last!"
"Who speaks the name Of Warbrit.
ton" came q hoarse voice from the
couch.
The dying bandit started, rolled hit
eyes toward the sound.
"What was that! That voice!"
The Pearlhunter caught the foot o.
the couch and moved it around so ths
two fast sinking men GOULD see each
other. No sooner had the gray giant
on the couch caught glimpse Of the
man on the floor than, with a great
cry, he tried to rise. His utmost
strength only served to bring him part
ly up on an elbow,-and that only with
the Pearlhunter's aid.

almenst instantly: "Where is she7
The woman you distained? And the
boy? Tell me! I've still the strength
to tear 1t out Of your cursed throat! y
The dying robber fixed his falling
eyes on the couch. Only God knows
who giveth his grace to the just and
to the unjust-how he found strength
for further words.
"Warbritton-!" He muttered the
name huskily, the bloody froth upon
his lips. "She was not distained. 1t
was all mistake. let you think 1t
because hated you-because I loved
her-because she loved you and not
me. Twenty years she's roved these
rivers, pure as the dew at dawn. She

He picked up his hand from where
1t sagged down upon the floor, carried
it at great labor to his bo-om, fumbled
under the fancy vest, drew forth q
picture and laid 1t against his lips
The Pearlhunter snatched it away. The
action brought the picture near the old
man. He seized 1t, held 1t an instant
before his eyes, and with deep groan
laid it against BIS bosom.
"And the boy9" he cried to the man
on the floor. 'The boyT

Choosing the Way to Travel.

Man cannot consecrate himself en-
tirely to God, and at the same time
give his best efforts and his best time
and thought to the world. The world,
apart from God, takes an altogether
different direction from that which
God maps out. The world, apart
from God, is prone to degradation by
way of license and self-indulgence. On
the other hand, the soul, under the
guidance of Gods Holy Spirit, travels
along the way of sacrifice, obedience
and self-restraint. The supreme ques.

square-necked bodice and short
sleeves are finished off with planted
frills of cream-colored georgette-
Where the frills join the sleeves there
appears again the running stitch IN
silk fioss-the utmost in simplicity or
finish. The designer must have tad
in mind the fashioning Of refined and
quaint little frock without any frivoli-
ty about 1t. and the little cluster OF
three crocheted blossoms, posed on the
neck frill, bears out this idea.
The frock at the right Is more pre-
tentious and boasts several new style
features. It calls georgette to Its aid
and presents the long tunic, the full
sash and girdle, and bodice with
spreading opening at the front, that
have all marked this season for their
own. 1t is all In gray with outline
embroidery on the tunic and about the
arm's-eye. The georgette undersleeves
are unusual and becoming, and georg-
cite makes the bloused vestee. The

might be in any of the new shades, as
flamingo, pink, tangerine, tourato

His sleeping senses seemed to wake,
to recognize the object for which his
ghostly eyes had searched the woods
for weary years-a bit Of red cloth
with certain face behind 1t. His
giant frame seemed to swell with
strength tremendous. He raised the
knife and leaped toward the intruder.
A giants strength, but with the dis
ordered unwieldiness Of stricken
mind. The knife barely grazed where
il was meant to kill. Before the gray
giant could recover his ponderous
strength to strike again, the Red Mask
had him by the wrist, and. seemingly
unwilling to risk the sound Of shot,
was raining blows upon his head with
the butt of his heavy revolver. 1t was
horrible thing to see. The girl stood
with laced fingers. helpless with hor-
ror. The first blow brought the blood
streaming out over the white hair and
disabled the old man so frightfully
thac he ceased the struggle and stood
Quleering. But the merciless arm
STRUCK again and again until the vast
frame dropped, shrank together, the
knife fell from his fingers, his knees
gave way and he sank groaning to the
floor-writhed, Strengthened and lay
still.
The revolver was foul with blood
and gray hair. The murderer noticed
it, hastily wiped it away on corner
of the fallen mans coat, thrust it back
into his pocket and raced the girl.
The spell was broken. She started
as if from nightmare and sprang
back of the chair. Like man pressed
for time, he dashed after her. With
the chair between them, she managed
for bare moment to keep beyond his
hands. He kicked the chair out cf
the way. She darted toward the
kitchen door. probably with the hope
of escaping to the woods, but he was
too close to her. She whirled toward
the door Of the bedroom. The tuTn
was fatal. His hands reached her and
drove her back into the corner or the
room at the head Of the couch.
She fought as only a woman fights
for a stake infinitely higher than
life itself. Since time began the earth
has staged that struggle. Her dress

Women who thought the extreme In
dress had been reached decided that
skirts might be made an inch shorter
without undue exposure. The knitted
stocking will be net stocking with
lots of air holes. The radicals gained
d victory in hat decoration with the
addition of numerous silk ribbon acces-
sories. Comfortable round-toed shoes
were left behind for the more dressy
light, pointed ones, and garments OF
