shoulder line and ornaments the two
pockets on the skirt. Collar and
cuffs are of gray faille silk. With this
costume Is shown an extremely new
and smart hat and bag set. Both hat
and bag are made of bright green
leather trimmed with celluloid orna-
ments in an all-over design.
Crepe de chine is used in making
the afternoon gown shown at the
right. The short sleeves and draped
skirt are trimmed with deep ruffles of
plated georgette finished with an
edging of white lace. In this costume,
the elaborately-drap skirt shows the
most significant change in recent
fashions. The narrow plating shown
in the deep rufiies is being used in lace
berthas, sleeves, tiers, bouffant
drapes and even on lingerie.
Wash dresses vary only little
from one season to another since
they must all be designed with an
eye to usefulness and comfort, and
must be put together so that they will

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

The bawling and believing, the
cracking of horns and pounding of
hoofs, the dusty whirl of cattle. and
the flying cowboys disconnected Made
line and frightened her n little.
Look, Miss Hammond. there's Don
Carlos" said Florence. Look at that

Madeline saw dark-faced Mexican
riding by. He was too far away for
her to distinguish his features. but he
reminded her of an Italian brlgand.
He bestrode n magnificent horse.
Stillwel rode up to the girls then
and greeted them in his big voice.

him to recite the troubles of a poor
cattlsMan. They were many and long

"Mr. Stillwell, could ranching here

A Gift and a Purchase.


For week the scene of the round
up lay within riding-dstance of the
ranch-house. and Madeline passed most
of this time in the saddle, watching
the strenuous labors of the vaQueros
and cowboys. She overestimated her
strength, and more than once had to
he lifted from her horse. Stillwelrs s
pleasure in her attendance gave place
to concern. He tried to persuade her
to stay away from the roundup and
Florence grew even more solicitous.
Madeline, however, was not moved
by their entreaties.
She grasped only dimly the truth
of what it was she was learning
something infinitely more than the
rounding up of cattle by cowboys, and
she was loath to lose an hour of her
opportunity.
Before the week was out. however,
Alfred found occasion to tell her that
It would be wiser for her to let the
roundup 20 without gracing it further
with her presence. He said 1t laugh
ingly; nevertheless, he was serious.
And when Madeline turned to him in
surprise he said. blurtly:
81 don't like the way Don Carlos
follows you around. Bills afraid that
Nels or Ambrose or one of the cow
boys will take fall out of the Mexi-
can. They're itching for the chance.
OF course, dear, it's absurd to you, but
It's true"
Absurd It certainly was, yet 1t served
to show Madeline how intensely occu-
pied she had been with her own feel
ings, reused by the tumult and toll of
the roundup. She recalled that Don
Carlos had been presented to her, and
that she had not liked his dark. strik-
Ing face with Its bold. prominent. gilt
tering eyes and sinister lines; and she
had not liked his suave, sweet. insin-
uating voice or his subtle manner, with
Its slow bows and gestures.
"Don Carlos has been after Flor
ence for long time" said Alfred.
"He's not young man b. any means.
He's fifty, Bill says; but you can sell
dom tell Mexican's age from his
looks. Don Carlos Is well educated
and man we know very little about.

 FISH RESERVES;
 NEED IS GREAT
Ketchikan Gamer and Busi- ness Man Favors Pro-
 posed Reservation.

Pending the enactment of new Alaska fisheries code by Congress the only salvation for the preserva- ton of the fisheries industry in Southeastern Alaska. lies in the ere ation of a fisheries reserve. in the opinion of j. K Beegle, president of the Beegle Canning Company of Ketchikan. Mr. Beegle arrived here on the Spokane last Saturday on a business trip and will return to Ketchikan sometime this week.
 Under existing legislation and resu- lations, said Mr Beegle, it is yir- tually impossible for the Bureau of Fisheries 10 prevent the further de- pletion of the salmon supply. He emphasized the need for protection of the runs in the immediate future without having to await the passage Of legislation by Congress. which ke does not consider likely at the present session of Congress He said that Commissioner OiMalley. of the Bureau of Fisheries, is sincerely 1 sirous of adopting a practical method of fisheries regulation that will re suit in healthy fishing and can ming industry profitable alike to the Territory and to the people who have invested capital in the business. The Commissioner, he said, is able and practical and stands for square deal all around.
 The Department of Commerce, said MT. Beegle, has been asked to [ quest the establishment. by exeeu- tive order of q fisheries reserve to cover the fisheries of Southeastern Alaska. "It is possible that such a reserve will be created before the beginning of the next fishing season and I hope it will be done. This is of paramount interest to Alaska" he said.
