cRANs1oN SEES RED.

Synopsis.-Warned by his physi-
clan that he has not more than six
months to live, Dan Failing sits
despondently on park bench, Won
dering where he should spend those
six months. Memories of his grand
father and a deep love for all
things of the wild help him in
reaching a decision. In a large
southern Oregon city he meets
people who had known and loved
his grandfather, a famous from
tiersman. He makes his home with
Silas Lennox, a typical westerner.
The only other members of the
household are Lennox's son, Bill"
and daughter, ''Snowbird." Their
abode is in the Umpqua divide, and
there Failing plans to live out the
short span of life which he has
been told is his. From the first
Failing's health shows a marked
improvement, and in the compan-
ionship of Lennox and his son and
daughter he fits into the woods life
as If he had been born to it. By
quick thinking and remarkable
display of nerve" he saves Len
.nox's life and his own when they
are attacked by a mad coyote.
Lennox declares he is reincarna-
ton of his grandfather. Dan Fail

is a household word. Dan learns

straight through it. And in an in
stant more, Hildreth pushed through
the buckbrush and stood revealed in
the moonlight.
If there is one quality that means
success in the mountains it is con-
stant, unceasing self-control. Gran
ston thought that he had it. But per-
haps he had waited too long for Hill
dreth to come; and the strain had told
on him. He had sworn to take no
false steps; that every motion he
made should be cool and sure. He
didn't want to attract Hildreth's at
tention by any sudden movement. All
must be cautious and stealthy. But
in spite of all these good resolutions,
Cranston's gun simply leaped to his
shoulder in one cOnvulsive motion at
the first glimpse of his enemy as he
emerged into the moonlight.
The end of the barrel struck a
branch of the shrubbery as it went
up. 1t was only soft sound; but in
the utter silence it travelled far. The
gun barrel caught the moonlight as it
leaped. and Hildreth saw its CLINT in
the darkness.
He was looking for trouble. He had
dreaded this long walk to the settle
ments more than any experience of
his life. He didn't know why the let
ter he had written. asking for an
armed escort down to the courts, had
not brought results. But it was
wholly possible that Cranston would
have answered this question for him.
This same letter had fallen into GER
tain soiled. deadly pair of hands
which was the last place in the world
that Hildreth would have chosen, and
It had been all the evidence that was
needed. at the meeting Of the ring the
night before. to adjudge Hildreth a
merciless and immediate end. Hill
dreth would have preferred to wait in
the hills and possibly to write another
letter, but chill that kept growing
at his finger tips forbade it. And all
these things combined to stretch his
nerves almost to the breaking point
as he stole along the mOOnlit trail un-
der the pines.
A moment before the rush and whir
of the grouse flock had dried the roof
of his mouth with terror. The tall
trees appalled, him. the shadows fell
upon his spirit. And when he heard
this final sound. when he saw the
CLINT that might so easily have been q
gun-barrel. his nerves and muscles re
acted at once. Not even a fraction Of
second interviewed. His gun flashed
up and little, angry cylinder of
flame darted, as snakes head darts,
from the muzzle.
Hildreth didn't take aim. There
wasn't time. The report roared in the
darkness; the bullet sang harmlessly
and thudded into the earth and both
Of them were the last things in tho

BLOUSE is USEFUL

Costume Garment Most Woefully
Abused, Writer Declares.
Prominent, Part OF Outfit Seldom
Worn Properly-So That 1t
Looks Entirely Right

One of the most useful garments
under the sun is tho costume blouse,
and one of the most w0efully abused,
says fashion correspondent. Do you
often see it worn properly? Few are
the times when it looks entirely right
of the same family as the rest of
the costume Of which it has become
part.
It will be dreadful blow to some
women to be told that the costume
blouse is not really smart when it Is
worn with a suit skirt. 1t is all right
when the coat is buttoned in place,
but when that outer covering is re-
moved, how different! This costume
blouse has its place, to be sure, but it
is not with the TAILORED or even the
semi-tailored suit. There only the
tailored blouse or the soft, handmade
French blouse has rightful place and
q sufficient reason to call itself part
of the whole.
There is the blouse made Of an all
over brocade or of an all-over piece Of
embroidery. 1t is one of the hand
soonest that has been produced in this
most prolific season, and it is apt to
be made over quite plain and simple
lines, with no added trimming. 1t
comes in the most beautiful and rich
colors, and it should most properly be
worn with skirt that is low in tone,
soft in texture and full enough in
width to make it graceful founda-
tion for the brilliance Of the waist.
There is no question that the blouse

nomical of the varieties Of costumfng

NUMEROUS PHASES OF LIFE
Existence May be Likened, with Con.

Of Many Things.

Life, says the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal, is very much like a savings ac-
count in the bank. You get out all
you put into it, end considerable in
terest besides.
A winding country road. Al
though one cannot see far ahead, zest
is given to the journey by the fact
that something new and interesting
will be revealed at every turn of the
road.
The new spring bonnet. A great
deal of its charm depends on the

EASIER TO MAKE WEARABLES
Numerous Articles Of Apparel Only

Many women try to make some OF
their clothes themselves. This is diff
ficult for anybody not trained to sew
Il fine seam, and few Of us do know
how to sew we'll nowadays. But there
are so many things half made, or SO
many parts of things ready made that
one may buy in the shops that it is
worth while making use of these things
to help out on the difficult task of home
sewing.
For one thing, there are ready-made
Innings for bodices, in white and black,
in muslin and in net. These are a
great help, fer they give the 'founda-
ton of the frock ready to start on.
There are hat Innings, varying in
price from thin silk and cotton one
at about 40 cents to stiff taffeta one
at q dollar.

FEW ALL WHITE LACE FROCKS
Dyed Decorations Favored, Cream
Tints, Tan, Ecru and Tobacco
Brown Predominating.

It is lace season, no doubt of that,
but rarely does 'one see perfectly
white lace frock. Laces are dyed
now in the most enhancing shades
and most favored are cream tints, tan,
ecru and tobacco brown. Black lace
is used extensively and there are ex-
quisitely lovely laces in peach tint.
These last are mounted over pastel
silk or satin for dance frocks. Chan
tilly lace and net laces are dyed navy
blue, plum or brown for afternoon
costumes and some Of these laces are
sewed with self-color spangles that
give very rich and brilliant effect.
A charming frock is Of accordion
plated brown satin. the plated skirt
edged with brown dotted net: A sash
of the dotted net, with huge, airy
loops, is tied around the waist. The
bodice and sleeves are of the brown
satin without net trimming.

There are half-made skirts-semi-
made, that is, far more than half

and finishing off. They come in plaid
wool, in plated silk or in tailored fin
ish in different fabrics.
There are net .overdresses that need
only the making Of a satin or
georgette slip to convert them into
charming evening frocks.
There are girdles of ribbon. with
long silk fringes that add a finish to
any gown
There are all sorts of lovely neck
wear that make the finishing off of
the neck of gown an easy matter.

out, the matter of making clothes is

evidently they think not. for while still

dead leaves on which he knelt crinkled
and rustled under him. Only the keen
| est ear could have heard the sound ;
and possibly in his madness, Cranston
| himself was not aware of it. And one
would have wondered a long time as
| to what caused 1t. 1t was simply that
he was shivering all over with hate
and fury.
A twig cracked. far on the ridge
above him. He leaned forward, peer
ing, and the moonlight showed his
face in unsparing detail. 1t revealed
the deep lines, the terrible, drawn
lips, the ugly hair long over the dark
| ears. His strong hands frightened
upon the breech of the rifle. His wiry
figure grew tense.
OF course it wouldn't do to let his
prey come too close. Landy Hildreth
was good shot too, young as Gram
ston, and of equal strength; and no
sporting chance could be taken in this
hunting. Cranston had no intention
of giving his enemy even the slightest
! chance to defend himself. If Hildreth
got down into the valley, his testi-
! mony would make short work of the
arson ring. He had the goods; he had
been member Of the disreputable
crowd himself.
The mans steps were quite distinct
by now. Cranston heard him fighting
his way through the brush thickets.
and once flock Of grouse, frightened
from their perches by the approaching
figure, flew down the trail in front.
Cranston pressed back the hammer of
his rifle. The click sounded loud in
the silence. He had grown tense and
still, and the leaves no longer rustled.
His eyes were intent on little
clearing, possibly one hundred yards
up the trail. The trail itself went
