 "Whom have you here with you {! What servants?" he demanded sharply The only male was James, an old negro groom.
 ''The very man." said Blood. "Bid him get out the horses. Then away with you to Speightown, or even farther north, where you will be safe. Here you are in danger--in dreadful danger The deviltry's only beginning. In Gods name, madam, take my word for it and do as bid you"

CHAPTER g THE REBELS-CONvICT

"HERE were, when the purple
 gloom of the tropical night descend-
 ed upon the Carribean, not more than ten men on guard aboard the Gin co Llagas, so confident were the Span- iards of the complete subjection of the islanders.
 As a matter of fact, whilst the main body of the Spaniards feasted and rioted ashore, the Spanish gunner and his crew were feasting on the gun-deck upon the wine and the fresh meats fetched out to them from ashore. Above, two sentinels only kept vigil, at stem and stern. Nor were they as vigilant as they should have been, or else they must have observed theictwo wherries that under cover of the darkness came gliding from the wharf, with we'll greased rowlocks, to bring up in silence under the great ships quarter.
 From the gallery aft still hung the ladder by which Don Diego had de- scended to the boat that had taken him ashore. The sentry on guard in the stern, coming presently round this gallery, was suddenly confronted by the black shadow of a man standing be- fore him at the head of the ladder. It was Peter Blood.
 The wooden taffrail was a low one, and the Spaniard was taken complete ly by surprise. Save for the splash he made as he struck the water, narrowly missing one of the crowded boats that waited under the counter, not a sound announced his misadventure. Armed as he was with corslet, cuissarts, and headpiece, he sank to trouble them no more. Within five minutes they had swarmed aboard, the entire twenty of them overflowing from the narrew gallery and crouching on the quarter deck itself.

Little Stories For Bedtime
(By THORNTON BURGESS,
Sootx The Chimney Swift

UOLL1, rOuHu, Eeu NIT. ouh was just going to bed behind the Pur- ~ pie Hills as Peter Rabbit stole into the Old Orchard. It was just that beautiful hour between daytime and night time when the little people of the Green Meadows and the Gree Forest who have been busy all day are beginning to get drowsy and are thinking of go- ing to bed, while those who have been sleeping all day are getting the sleepy ! winks out of their eyes and are think ing about filling empty stomachs. The Old Orchard always is very pleasant at this hour. Peter likes to steal up there and sit for while near Johnny Chuck s doorstep to chat with Johnny Chuck while they watch the first of the Black shadows steal aomg the trees and listen to the goodnight twitters Of the feathered folk and the beautiful evening song of Brownie the Thursh.
 "Chitter-chitter-chitter-chit Chitter- r-chittes-chit Chit, chit, chit, chit !" Peter put his head back to look up. Over the tops of the trees raced black form, this way, that way, turn ing, wheeling and then with rapid wing beats racing straight ahead, all the time shouting joyously. It was bird. Of course Filter the Bat is the only animal who can fly. and he cannot fly anything like the darting little black form Peter was watching. It was Sooty the Swift.
 "Sooty gets more fun out of flying than anybody I know of" decared Peter. Just listen to him! He shouts just for pure joy of using those queer little wings. I know how he feels.

''Do as he says-Oh. for pity's sake. Arabella."
 The horses came at last-four of them, for in addition to James who was to act as her guide, Miss Bishop had her woman, who was not to be left behind.
 Mir. Blood lifted the slight weight of Mary Traill to her horse, then turned to say goodbye to Miss Bishop, who was already mounted. He said it, and seemed to have something to add. But whatever it was it remained un- spoken. He went off briskly in the direction of the stockade, where his fellow-slaves awaited him in deep anx- iety and some hope. aas

Examples of the art Of costume de-
signing from two of the worlds great
est dressmakers--Callot and Vionnet--
are interesting. The Vionnet models
illustrate new and clever variations OF
ideas which yionnet herself intro
duced In the past and which have been
SO much played upon, not only by their
originator, but by many other great
dressmakers, that it would seem no one
could evolve anything new from them.
Nothing could be more charming,
writes prominent fashion corre-
spondent, than Vionnet's use OF the
jabot made of white ermine. She likes
the snowy pelt as decoration for her
simple black dresses. Her latest use
of ermine Is as Jabot. scarf and
sleeve facings. The ermine jabot Is

and especially good on dark dress

Roads Employ Many Men

There are 1900 trolley car motor
men employed in this country every
day on the electric railways. II re-
quires $4,000 conductors for their cars.
Approximately 10000 other men are
employed on the tracks and in the
shops and car houses Of these electric
railways.
The wages of this large group Of
men are derived from the receipts Of
the electric railways from fares paid
by their passengers.

American women in Paris have or
dered this dress in blue serge with
white ermine and many orders have
been taken in black velvet. The skirt
is attached TO the bodice by means of
tiny tucks which run around the fig
ure, eight or ten sufficing to form a
girdle effect for the wrap-around skirt
with the opening at the left side.
Another Interpretation Of the jabot
effect by Madeleine vionnet is seen
In one-piece dress with the jabot ef-
feet given through side extension
of the back and front. Instead of the
ordinary underarm seam, these pieces
are left free at the left side to ripple
away in jabot effect. There Is an
extra underarm piece which covers
the opening between the two jabots
Except for this novelty the dress
would be straight chemise with a
seam at the waistline which permits
theN skirt to overlap In coat fashion.
The neck Is cut out In simple bateau
form and the long, tight sleeves finish
with handkerchief-like points which
are knotted at the wrist. A tie belt
surrounds the figure at a low waist
line, and is ornamented with two
buckle slides in plain steel. This
model like others, Is developed In
black satin.

Clever models also are shown by
this maker, using the scarf and panel.
Only an artist could think Of continu-
| ing panel section at the back and
front in scarf ends to form decora-
tion for an extremely simple dress.
Vionnet develops one of her models in
a heavy bronze green crepe satin. The
back and frbnt are exactly the same

left shoulder and the other forward
over the right shoulder Where the
overlapping panels meet. back and
front, there are finely pressed plaits
known as pills lingeries.
The most interesting thing In all
of vionnet's work is the way in which
through an extremely complicated cut
she achieves a very simple appearing
frock. Her cape dresses are cut SC
that the cape Is In one with the frock
itself and not Joined to II at the neck
or shoulder seams. The ends of the
cape may be wound about the frock to
form scarf, sash or jabot.

and printed velvets, silver cloth and
silver net, and, of course, often In one
fabric. At first glance one Is not COM
pletely converted to this two-piece,
two-fabric and two-color idea. as the
line seems to break too abruptly. But
as matter Of fact these dresses are
becoming the rage because they are
different. They first appeared at
Biarritz and now Paris manifests
strong interest. From these dresses
have developed coats Of almost exact
| ly the same cut.
Dresses Are Simple In Line.
Nothing could be more simple In
ming dresses. likewise nothing more
gorgeous from standpoint OF color
ing and embroidery. Blue Is Callot's
favorite color this season, and she
often uses three shades of this color
to form simple chemise dress which
she elaborately embroiders In gold
and red, Thus, while the dress In
form Is of the simplest possible cut,
Ii Is so embellished on the surface
that II becomes at once ceremonious
to the utmost degree.
One model illustrates the simple
line as shown by Callot. The dress
is combination Of camellia pink and
black velvet with very elaborate gold
embroidering. The black contrasts
strangely with the flesh of the wearer
and II Is so arranged that II forms
yoke and plastron for the bodice. The
remainder OF the dress is in the rosy
camellia pink. The smartest Of Cal
lots models carry the corset inside.
The wearer considers herself dressed
with a pair of sheer silk stockings,
skin-tight culottes of crepe de chine
or satin, and then the dress-that Is
all.A
On a wlnsome dress Of dyed lace
and crepe from Callot the lace exactly
matches the crepe. which Is a soft
mauve shade. II Is very popular
model and is notably chosen by youth
full matrons. The skirt Is formed OF
a series of plated fans Of the crepe
graduating in size and placed In panels
of four to a group. The bodice shows
a low bertha-like yoke of the mauve
lace and insertion panels running up
and down the chemise foundation
which supports the fan panels.
These little plated fans are used
by Cheruit with success on silver
dress, the fans being Of silver net.
Vionnet attaches these fans to sash
ends, using them so long that they
form the only garniture for dress.
falling as they do from low waist
line almost to the skirt hem. With
vionnet they take more the shape Of
the closed fan than the open fan.
The house of Callot upholds In a
most splendid manner Its tradition for
beautiful colors. gorgeous materials
and magnificent embroideries. The
Oriental note throughout this entire
line is most pronounced.
Simple Frocks for Spring.
The panel dress is still much In use
that Is, the dress made OF series of
tabs or panels, most Of the panels
elaborately embroidered In Persian OF
Chinese designs. The colors OF these
embrolderies also are of the Orient
Among the Chinese designs many
landscapes are seen. Frequently the
dress Is covered with embroidery
showing pagodas, bridges and exqui'
sitely wrought figures of Chinese peo
pie in brilliant dress who wander over
the frock.

Of the skirt remains about the same.
The waistline In this type of frock
Is low and sleeves are long and tight

ruflies at the wrist or simple but

Coffee contains caffeine, a drug.

"BREAD" DRAMATIC

An unusual scene of great dramat-
ic power is developed early in the
course of action of Bread" the Me-
tro-Goldwyn picture which comes to
the Strand Theatre, Wednesday and
Thursday, October % and 90. This
scene involves a woman's discovery
of the theft of the household money
by her husband, and the histrionic
difficulties of this striking situation
are met with an astonishing ease
and power by Mae Busch in the role
of the outraged wife.
Jeanette is forced to give up her
position by the ill-founded jealousy
of employers wife. This catastro-
phe leads her to marry a spendthrift
salesman by the name of Martin Dew
lin, and the marriage turns out bad
ly. 1t is at this point that the dis
covery of the theft occurs. Jeanette
leaves him and goes back into the
business of earning her bread.
How she becomes an important
member of the firm. how she is fl
nally reunited with her regenerated
husband-these incidents form the
remaining substance of a matchless
