"Ghost-Fear" Strong Among Real Romanys

Of broken crockery, kettles, pans, and

camp is near, and that a gypsy has

On that day after the funeral of
real Romany, the relations burn all
the clothes and other consumable be-
longings of the dead person. Then all
the crockery and utensils are broken
and solemnly thrown into the near

Behind this queer custom lies
"ghost-fear." It is believed that, so

away, Baree faced the Great Adven-

for him-and into the north he went.
.
1t was early In August when BARGE
left the Gray Loon. He had no objec-
tive in view. But there was still left
upon his mind, like the delicate I'M

negative. the memories Of his earlier
days. Things an. happenings that he
had almost forgotten required to him,
as his trail led him farther and far
Their away from the Gray Loon; and
his earlier experiences became real
again, pictures thrown out afresh in
his mind by the breaking Of the last
ties that held him to the home of the
Willow. Involuntarily he followed the
trail Of these impressions-of these
past happenings, and slowly they
helped to build up new interests for
him. He came to the blind canyon
up which Nepeese and Pierrot had

his burrow In the dog-corral, and at
least twice between dawn and dark
ness he would go to the birch-bark
tepee and the chasm. His trail, soon
beaten hard In the snow, became as
fixed as Pierrot's trap-line.
And then, Of sudden, Baree made
change. He spent a night in the
tepee. After that whenever he was
at the Gray Loon, during the day he
always slept In the tepee. The two
blankets were his bed-and they were
part Of Nepeese. And there, all
through the long winter, he waited.
The winter passed, and spring came,
and still Baree continued to haunt his
old trails, even going now and then
over the old trap-lne as far as the
first Of the two cabins. The traps
were rusted and sprung now; the
thawing snow disclosed bones and
feathers between their jaws; under
the deadfalls were remnants of fur,
and out on the ice Of the lakes were
picked skeletons Of foxes and wolves
that had taken the poison-baits. The
last snow went. The swollen streams
sang in the forests and canyons. The
grass turned green, and the first flow
ers came.
All these things were happening,
and the birds had mated and nested,
and still Nepeese did not come! And
at last something broke inside of
Baree, his last hope, perhaps, his last
dream; and one. day he babe good-by
to the Gray Loon.
No one can say what 1t cost him to
go; no one can say how he fought
against the things that were holding
him to the tepee, the old swimming
pool, the familiar paths In the forest,
and the two graves that were not so
lonely now under the tall spruce. He

SIGN OF REAL HONEY,

At a certain American factory
honey was being put into Jars. On
the bench was a heap Of dead bees,
and the curious visitor wondered
what they could be for.

we put one bee into each jar"
"But why" persisted the visitor.

with pink, blue and mauve possesses a
blue skirt to match. For wear with
compose or other suits, tailored
blouses of fiesh-colored or white crepe
hold the eye of fashion as a rule, but
sometimes even a good rule is broken
to advantage and the blouse need not
always be severely tailored when a
softer style is more becoming.
OF course sweaters must be reck-
oned with in writing the story of the
two-plece modes-for comfort and for
sports wear they are necessity in
the wardrobe. For those who will golf,
rain or shine, there are rainproof jack
cts, or suits, made of rain coating and
reversible jackets, made of double
faced material, rubberized crepe on
one side and thin knitted fabric on
the other. Also new cardigan jackets
of jersey. Jerseys in endlessly varied
patterns include several popular neck
treatments, round, "V"-shaped and the
split turtle neck. For warm weather
there are lacey knit sweaters in light
green and other refreshing colors, in
Guiding yellow.

of current styles appear in late-sum-
