then he saw the roof and the upper

pulled Firefy In again, with over
whelming relief, and wondered at the

three horses hitched near the stiles.
Turning quickly from the road, he
hid Firefy In the underbrush. Very
quietly he slipped along the path by
the river, and, pushing aside through
the rose bushes. lay down where I'M
seen he could peer through the closely
matted hedge. He had not long to
wait. A white uniform issued from
the great hall door and another and

smiling. The boys blood ran hot
smiling at her enemies. Two officers

kissed it. The watchers blood turned
then to liquid fire. Great God, at
what price was that noble old house
left standing? Grimly, swiftly Err
skine turned, sliding through the
bushes like a snake to the edge of
the road along which they must pass.
He would fight the three, for his life
was worth nothing now. He heard
them laughing, talking at the stiles.
He heard them speak Barbara's
name and two seemed to be banter
ing the third, whose answering laugh
seemed acquiescent and triumphant.
They were coming now. The boy had
his pistols out, primed and cooked.
He was rising on his knees, just about
TO leap to his feet and out into the
road, when he fell back into a
startled, paralyzed, inactive heap.

Walking home in the rain two high

Rle ns Isnsire, BrsSil, Oct ss.- The ssrssnt question in Rio, which has hssn driving the housewives Of this city te distraction for years and years, hnslly became so acute that |, ass taken up, studied and ''selVed' hY the federal government
 The solution to this tormshtins problem teek the fern Of Decree Ee, is,ieI, which delegates to the police the trininE matter ef carrying the details into effect
 Before the decree vas enacted. however, the servant question out. stripped all competitors, even the high cost of living, in bringing worry into the average home Servants came snd servants went. but the question went on forever, Not only was II impossible to count on the presence Of any servant from one minute 10 the next. but hundreds of homes found that their ingratistins, new employs of the day before vas in reality an experienced and clever thief. One Of the routine tasks Of the police vas tracing thiesing servants.
 On the other hand the servants complained that employers expected too much of them Tn time and kind of work. and that they were siven no guarantees as to healthful working conditions and moral considerations.
 For these and other reasons. decree ts.io7 provides that sll servants must possess cards ot iientifcation from the police. No serrant can en- ter Into employment without notify ing the police and registering the terms Of the agreement with the employers. nor can anyone employ servant without registering tn. act with the police. The decree applies to domestic service Of all kinds; cooks. butlerr. maids. laundry girls, nprte girls, scnmstresses. walters in hotels and restaurants. bar tenders. janitors and even office boys.
 Whether servants or employers will be any better by effect of the decree. no one ventures 10 predict, but it Is expected that the average time of 4 job will be longer than it has been, and that the servant disguise will so out Of fashion among thieves.

Metallic. Fabrics Are Popular for Evening

In the early weaving of gold cloth,
fiat strips of gold were generally
wound around silk threads, although
there were instances where it was
made entirely of gold thread. But be-
cause the solid metallic flaments
were difficult to handle, as well as be-
ing costly, cheaper materials were
finally sought to suppIant them.
Today, the golden effect of nearly all
cloth Of gold is produced by being
heavily interviewer with tinsel.
A metal thread is practically al
ways a cotton or linen thread abou
which is wound a thin strip of tinsel.
Another method is to dip cotton or
linen threads into a chemical mixture
which fmpregnates them with just
enough of a given metal to imDart a
fine, metallic sheen.
Metal cloth, gold or silver, gives a
rich and gorgeous effect, and when
chosen for dresses, particular pains
must be exercised to have all Access

capes and trimmings, corresponding

"Cloth of gold and silver for eve
Ming" says Dame Fashion.
One finds this splendid fabric first
mentioned in Exodus, 1913: "And
they did beat the goll into thin plates
and cut it into wires to work it in
the blue, and in the purple, and in the
scarlet, md in the fine linen with cum
ming work"
Cloth of gold was worn profusely IN
England from the Thirteenth to the
Sixteenth century, from the reign Of
Edward / to the time of Henry VIII.
Gold and silver laces, embroideries
and braids, as well as cloths of gold
and of silver glittered and sparkled
wherever wealth could buy them. The
men literally "outshone" the women,
for it is only within the last hundred
wears or so that women have been
able to outdo the men in gaudy colors,
feathers and laces.
So much money was spent for this
fnery that many laws were passed for
bidding the extravagant use of such
goods, and practically prohibiting
them to all but families of the nobil-
ity.

Ozone Many Times Stronger Than
Many Of the Agents That Are
in Common Use.

Ozone is a powerful bactericidal
agent, and can be used us disin-
fectant in place Of sulphur dioxide,
formaldehyde or hydrocyanic acid. In
fact, it is 100 times as powerful disc
infectant as sulphur dioxide, 81 times
as formaldehyde, and nearly twice as
powerful as hydrocyanic acid gas,
writes Floyd w. Parsons in the
WORLDS Work. AS a deodorant it has
no superior. In the case of delicate
odors, it destroys them, while with
stronger odors it acts as a masking
agent, due to its action on the olfac-
tory membrane. When high concen-
trations of ozone are used, even the
most powerful odors are destroyed.
AS to the effect of low concentra-
tons of ozone on the human body,
there is considerable evidence coming
to hand which indicates that the
ozone Is not only harmless, but that
it's effect on the individual Is bene-
