lifted IL out on one finger and as she
glanced back into the box she saw that
the bracelet had been lying upon a
narrow white card. On it was en-
graved Richard Stuysesant Blake"
She shuddered little. and her fas-

thing, the kind of thing that any
woman would adore, and Rosalind per-
haps more than some. She gazed at it
II long time. She unfastened the clasp
and slipped it over her ANN. She
watched the diamonds winking up at
her as the light caught their facets,
and then slowly and deliberately she
took n off, placed it in the box on top
of the small oblong card and snapped
the lid shut.
Carefully she slipped the purple
leather box inside the cardboard one
and put on the lid. Then she put on
the outer wrapping of expensive fools.

waxed cord that had bound il. Then
she wrote Nicky's address on the re-

straight line. she went to the telephone
and called messenger.
After the diamond bracelet had left
the house she drew q long breath.
She felt freer somehow. much better,
In fact. than she had felt all day. She
was still depressed and her thoughts
were chaotic. but she felt that she had
at last taken a definite step in the
right direction. What would happen
next she did not know. but nothing
could be worse than the terrible awak-
ening that had been hers. OF that she

New Frocks.

Are Your dresses becoming? The
hut there Is a tendency to overelab
oration which is dangerous. Few
. women can stand elaborate clothes
they cheaper their appearance. In.
deed, l cant picture any feminine
type that doesn't look better in sim
pie clothes than in fancy ones.
don't mean that eloborately bead
e1 evening dresses aren't most attrac-
tive, or that elaboration of embroidery
or design isn't becoming. It's only
when frills and fiounces, tassels and
trimmings are spread in aimless con
fusion over dresses that the 1oman
wants to watch out. For they inter
fere with the line of the dress, and
ahe line is all important.
This year it's still a slender line,
but softer and more graceful than the
straight up and down, too severe, too
stiff line of the frocks of the last two
seasons. 1t breaks a little at the
waistline-a low waistline still. 1t
floats a little around the knees. 1t
has movement and life, this new line
whereas the old one had only sim
plicity to recommend 1t.
Soft materials are needed to carry
out this new line, and lighter colors
seem therefore appropriate. And this
breaking away from mannish severity
has started u fad for trimmings
trimmings were never so fascinating
as this and as the new Spring styles
7ill be, a few hints Of which nave
come out.
This is only a warning-dont &c
mad over trimmings and fancy
dresses. Simplicity is youth, and
women with short hair-which means

dress as simply and youthfully as
they can. A boyish bob must go with

STAR SIX CAR
ON DISPLAY IN
DOUGLAS TODAY

Star Six, big, husky brother of
the Star Four will make it's initial
appearance in Douglas today The
new Star Six, coach model will ,be
accompanied by its new type Star
Four brothers, including the coup
ster, claimed bys it's makers to be
the most popular type of automo
bile in America, the "glassmobile,"
and sport touring car, all to be
displayed at the local branch of the
Linton Motor company, 1888 G ave-
nue.. Eastman and Wade are local
representatives of the Linton Motor
company, of Lowell, Cochise county
distributors of Star cars.
During the two days, Sunday and
Monday, the car was on display
at the Lowell showrooms of the
firm, more than GOO people took
advantage of the opportunity of
viewing this new automobile pro-
duct, according to Edw. S. Red"
Linton, head of the firm.
There are usually lot of ha-
bitual fault finders who take great
pleasure in inspecting a new car
and overlooking it's attractiveness in
their desire to belittle it," Linton
says, ''but, with the Star Six, it is
my pleasure to report that not a
single word of disappointment or
opinion other than pleasing has
been voiced regarding the new Star
Six, to the best of my knowledge.
The new Star Six and the new
Star Fours will remain in Douglas
at 1888 G avenue until Wednesday
evening. On Thursday, the motor
cade will begin tour of the en-
tire county, to afford everyone an
opportunity to inspect the new line
of automobiles, which have been
designed, the makers say, to meet
modern motoring demands in a most
satisfactory manner.

into the third turn, that on the
northeast corner of tie track, with
the time trial prize money apparent
ly tucked away. Suddenly, however, a
tire, shot from one of his wheels, an
occurance those from the grand
stand could see. His car plunged
into the inner bank, angled toward
the outer edge and then, went into
the inner bank again, raising a cloud
of dust which obscured him from
the stands
Randolph Escapes Death
The dust cleared quickly, and spec
tators saw Randolph rise, and then
fall again. An ambulance hastened
to the spot, and Randolph was lifted
inside, insisting that he was not Sc
riously injured. The ambulance,
however, hastened toward hospital,
while surgeons made an examination
of the injuries. Their policy was
not to take any chances, and they
feared Randolph might be more Sc
riously injured than he imagined.
When it was established however,
that his injury consisted only of a
wrenched knee; his demands that he
be taken back to the track were
needed.
On arriving there, Randolph in
structed that new wheels be put on
his car, and he announced that he
would drive in the race. The warn
ing of physicians that undue strain
might cause THE leg to trouble him
for weeks and the persuasion of Nor
iarity, however, caused Randolph to
change his mind about competing
and he watched most of the contest
from the ambulance. When the race
was nearly over, Randolph got into
another car, and was given a round
of applause as he was driven in
front of the grand stand toward the
wire to watch the finish.
Carminetti was called on to make
a time trial after Randolph had been
carried from the course, but he an
nounced that loose bearings would
prevent him from competing.
Starter Jacobs then lined the seven
entries who had qualified, and the
field turned the track slowly before
going off to a rolling start.
Thrills began at the start. The
field was hitting a high pace before
reaching the first turn. Thomas
took the lead with Peterson right
behind him, and Harper in third
place as they rounded the first turn.
On the far straight away Harper
passed both Thomas and. Peterson to
take the lead. Peterson went to the
pits with engine trouble without
completing the second lap, and while
his car was run out after he had
fallen four laps behind, again the
engine failed to hit. He stayed in
the pits during the remainder of the
contest.
For the first 80 miles of the race,
held a good lead. Goldtrap
being the only driver who passed
him. That pair constantly increased
the distance between them and 9TH

A MAN w HO
KNEW HORSES

TO RISE with one bounding
leap from poverty to riches,
from hardship to luxury, is no
longer considered phenomenal in
America. In this land Of oppor-
tunity and wide-open doors boot
blacks have become millionaires
and newsboys veritable Croesuses.
But 1t Is rarely that these
"neuveau richie" have taken the
bull of nigh society by the horns
and thrown 1t.
To Joshua Cosden, the man
who was many times a millionaire
before he was 80. this was an
easy job. ..'.'.'
He came to New York, still in
his twenties, straight from Okla
homa, where prestige means man.
sions and motors and yachts.
And he found that in New York
prestige means real thoroughbred
horses. Perhaps because Joshua
Cosden knew a good horse when
he saw one he chose the right
horse on which to ride into the
400"
About fifteen years ago he was
selling insurance in Baltimore,
Md, and not more successfully
than hundreds of other agents.
But he possessed faculties which
motivated his success. Taking
Horace Greeley's advice, he went
West. He arrived in Tulsa. Okla,
at the time Of the big oil boom.
The young men from Baltimore
proceeded, coolly and calmly, to
invest what little money he had
in this fascinating game. With a
skill that must have been innate
he bought and sold at the proper
time. and soon he was fairly rich.
When he decided that Okla
homa offered no further possi
bilities for advancement, he
packed up his kit" and came
East. Arriving in New York, he
bought chips and took a seat
in the stock market. For a long
time he was most fortunate In
his deals, and the money rolled
in. Then things took a decided
turn for the worse and Mr..
Cosden lost control OF his COM
pany.
In the meantime he had come
to the attention Of New York's
400" A master of horseman-
ship and an expert on good
horses, he had spent untold
thousands on the training Of
horses. He secured the services
of Uncle Billy" Garth, one Of
the best-known trainers in Amer
lea, and Jockeys who were inter-
nationally famous.
The millionaire oil plunger has
not been active as d stock market
operator for some time, and 1t 10
understood that he plans to
retire. Il
