above the hips. 1t is interesting to note
that In this particular frock the waist
line has returned to it's normal po-
sitlon. Two little puffed sleeves cir
Gle the arms just below the shoulder.
The frock at the right is severely
plain except for the draped skirt and
the long false sleeve falling straight
from the shoulder. The line of the
neck is finished with a soft roll drawn
through loops of the same material.
This idea is repeated in the long drape
falling from the shoulder, but In this
case single loops only are used. The
waistline Is formed by folds Of the
material and Is placed rather low.

he was right, apparently. Blaze
had supposed Bodine would kick
back once or twice before giving
up; but four days had gone by, ana
he had not stirred from his retreat.
The following morning, however,
there were signs OF lite at the Web
ster ranch. oh%'tIy after daylight
Buck and his men were in the sad
die, and by noon they had rounded
up their stock, now about three
hundred head. An hour later they
were IN motion, pointed for Winnie

They're headin' for the railroad,
sure as you're born," Melody called
to Blaze.
we can see them from here for
an hour or more. When they reach
the river, I'm going to hike down
there"
Melody studied his friends face
before he spoke again.
Every once in a while you pull

finally said. What you got up
your sleeve?"
1T goes back a long ways, old
timer. Some day maybe you'll find

l amt got any intention of Juggling
you into trouble. This is my own
little affair. I'll wait here, and you
can drift back to the Bulls HeHad. "
'You make me SICK" the red
haired one answered sayagely.
1 don't want to cheat you out Of
anythin," Blaze murmured in his
drawing manner. Come on along.
If you feel that way about it.
THEIR proposed plan received a
jolt as they saw Bodine and his men
separate at the river. Three Of them
headed back for the Webster. The
distance was so great that Blaze
could not tell whether Buck was
among those who had gone on or
not.
One of US has got to stay here
now, Melody. You wait; I'll GO"
By hard riding over roundabout
course, Kildare trailed the moving
herd into town. Bodine and the
bandy-legged man were not among
those present. The steers were load
ed the next morning, and the six
riders who had brought them in i'm
mediately returned to the Webster.

The return of Bucks men from

Bodine could not sleep. He paced up
