MISS BLUEBEARD
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR.

| AS they emerged at the other end,
| she tucked her arm In Jills.
You were sweet to come home with
me tonight. I've wanted to ask you
| for some time. But you mustn't think
we're very grand. or anything like
| that"
Minnie was just a simple little girl
| without much mentality. Jill decided
quickly. but she was friendly. and to.
night Jill simply couldn't be alone
She didn't want to think about
Anthony and Miss Byers. He had
| called her Eleanor. And most of all.
she didn't want to remember the way
she had responded inwardly when he
had said in that lazy, drawing voice:
do you know, you're darling?"
She pushed it out of her mind now
and gave her attention to Minnie.
They were entering the door of an
apartment house now. one of the
cheaper kind, with no switchboard and
no attempt at any decorations.
Iron stairways stretched intermin.
ably up. and Minnie laughed as they
started to climb.
Odors of cooking We're waited out to
them as they passed closed doors on
each landing. 1t wasn't very inspir-
ing.
Minnie opened the door Of the fourth.
floor apartment with a latch key.
They entered long, dark hall, perme-'
ated with the smell of cooking onions.
Minnie carried Jill directly to the
heart of the house, which was the
kitchen, and introduced her mother.
Mrs. Brooks stood by the four-burner
gas stove.
Her remark, "I've brought Miss
Anderson" brought a warm greeting.
Minnie has done nothing but talk
about you. Set another plate, will you.
dear? Everything is ready"
The family consisted of Minnie's
mother, and two brothers, one about
p. and the other. IA.
AS they sat down to the table, they
eyed Jill closely.
1t rather amused her.
Buddy, the younger boy, was frank.
ly awed. Hector, the elder. was eager
to make an impression. He kept ar.
ranging his tie and sleeking back his
hair. They were all very careful of
their table manners. The food was
plain but good.
There was a meat loaf, probably
made by Mrs. Brooks. there were to.
matoes stewed with bread and baked
potatoes. For dessert there was a
plain rice pudding with white of egg
on the top.
Jll really SHJoNeu IleE Iledl, uut
everything was piled on the table at
once, and the tomatoes were served in
saucers.
When she cooked at home for her.
self she was very careful about OBJ
serving conventions. Even when she
was alone, everything had to be quite
perfect, before she sat down to eat.
Hector was mentally comparing Jill
with Minnie. The two girls were very
different and yet they worked in the
same Office. Being man, he couldn't
make out the difference and it bothered
him. He finally decided that he liked
Jills way of dressing. The simple
blue serge dress and the organdie col.
lar and cuffs. with tiny pleated frills
around them. And then her hair!
Brushed off the forehead like that, and
showing a widows peak, it was dis.
tinctive.
OF course, Hector didn't say things
to himself in quite this way, but when
he summed up his impressions he de.
cided that Jill was pretty good. He
wished there were some way of know.
ing her better.

1t gives a more pronounced shadow
around the outlines Of the legs and

wear too light a shade. or you will
lose this effect Of shadow and high

If your legs are too fat, wear
heavier weight silk. You must not

quite dark ones. Dark colors make
one seem slim, and white stouter, but
light beige or gray is all right as a
choice.

Silk Stockings.

The girl who is really well dressed
is the one who makes an art out of
dressing and who uses materials and
colors to accentuate all her good
points and conceal all her bad ones.
Take, for instance, only one article
of dress-stockings Here is the diff
ference color and material make in the
appearance of the legs and feet-a
very important matter these days of
short skirts.
Lightcolored stockings are splendid
as a fashion. They not only are
healthier for the feet than plain black
or brown, but they give an opportunity
TO make q costume complete in color
harmony from head to feet, and they
allow the wearer to conceal the fact
that her legs are either too thin or
too fat
Here's how it is done: Never un-
der any circumstances wear silk or
chiffon stockings that have much
pink in them, except with evening
dresses or very light afternoon frocks

CHAPTER XIX.
An Invitation.

]iil's feeling of humiliation lasted
through the evening.
Because she was lonely and had
made a few contacts in New York. she
accepted an invitation from Minnie
Brooks to go home with her for dinner.
She swung on a subway strap as the
long train thundered under the river,
and hated life. She hated the idea
that she was limited because she was
poor. She hated the idea of being a
stenogra pher. She hated travelling on
the subway.
Minnie was cheerfully loquacious.

KIDNAPPEDPARTY
 SUFFERS IN COLD
Men and Women Chained to
 Ground, CourierS Report

Paris Oct. e5 Pl-A dispatch to Le Mdtln from Rabat, Morocco, says further and more formidable ob- stacles have arisen to the liberation Of the kidnapped members of Resi- dent General Steeg's household.
 It IS now feared that they have been captured by Marabout Si Ho- cien Gu Temga who dominates the region near the Atlas mountains. In this case their release would be- come political question and not one ot monetary ransom.
 Temga, who is a fanatical old man, declines to negotiate, the cor respondent reports. and he already has put to death two members of his family who talked with French political officers. It would be most difficult 10 come to an agreement with him for he prefers to keep the four persons as hostages so that he may be assured that the French will take no action against him.
 The members of the party kid mapped were Yves Steeg. nephew of the resident general, Jean Maillt, a relative by marriage, Madame Marie De Prokorev, a young Viennese, and her mother, Baroness De Steinheil.
 Tegmga has also succeeded in get ting possession of two little girls of the Arnaud family. They were carried off by tribesmen who mur- dered three members of the family several weeks ago. All efforts to induce Temga to give them up have failed.

Chained to Ground

Buenos Aires, Oct. 25 Pl-Cour- cernins the party of Europeans, in- cluding the nephew of Resident General Steeg, kidnapped In Moroc- co, reported that the two men were chained by their hands and feet, while their two women companions were chained Ey the hands, says a dispatch to La Nacion from it's cor respondent in Tangier.
 The dispatch says that snow has been falling heavily in the region Of the Kidnapping and as the prisoners were not wearing heavy clothing, arc complaining. The party is being marched inland by the kidnappers, the dispatch says, and it is hoped that the snowstorm will keep them from penetrating too far into the wild country beyond where the diff fculty of reaching them would be materially increased, Disapproval of kidnapping has been expressed by the leading chieftain In the re- zion of the kidnapping, the dispatch continues, stating that this leader has offered his services to French authorities. The leader of the kid nappers is described as a fanatical dtssideut and fear for the safety of the party is felt if the ransom nego- tiations should fail.

NAMES REMAIN ID
 HONOR OLD TRIBES
Majority Of Old Indians Have
 Passed On

Enid, Okla, Oct. ,5 tPs--War, dis ease and intermarriage have swept away many once-powerful Indian
 tribes and are reducing others to
 mere wraiths of their former might.
 George Rainey, authority on In-
 dian history, finds time rapidly
 adding to the roster of lost tribes,
 manyf of which are remembered
 chiefly because their names have
 passed to cities and towns in the
 region where once they roamed.
 The Tonlzawas. once disdained
 by other Indians who accused them of cannibalism, have been re- duced to about 26 members. They dwell near town of that name in Oklahoma. The Kichai. for whom a small town near Wichita. Kas., was named, are gone. So are Natchez, for whom the Mississippi city was named: the Biloxi Indians Of southern Mississippi; the Mohe- gans: the Pamunkeys; the Pequo- ta; the Pedees; the Kitchagames; ilLC NlNplIlStilS, loi NllOii Aibpbt was named; the Wacos, whose name Waco, Texas, bears; and many another stalwart tribe of red men.
 Of these vanished tribes the Natchez have a particularly tragic history, Rainey relates in a forth coming book. The French found them living near the future site of Natchez in 1882. Numerous con- flicts with the French cost the h. dians dearly, one of the most san fights taking place in 1772, when the right of the French gov ernor to occupy the site of one of their principal villages as & plan tation was contested.
 The French swept down upon .he tribesmen with musket fire and sword, killing large numbers at Fort Rosalie. Miss. With the Choc- taws, the foreigners later attacked the remaining warriors and almost =Xtcrminated them.
 X remnant of the band took ref rge on Cicily Island in the Missis- sippi river, near the mouth of the Washita river, and here again the French set upon them. killing many and selling others into Slav- 2ry in Santo Domingo. Some of he red men fled to the Chickasaw country in South Carolina. after ward moving to the Cherokee country in Georgia. Gradually language and traditions passed. | Their tongue had ceased to be spoken in 1900, Rainey says.

PRICES IN RISE
 ON NS70CK MARKET
Several Specialti@ Jump to New
 High Attitudes

New York, Oct. 25 R-Disregard- ing recent untavorable corporation reports and disappointing railroad earnings staten ents. the Stock Mar ket today was driven upward in the brisk competition to buy stocks as cheaply as possible. The purging of the market recently appeared to have placed it in position afford ing ample justification for natural rebound. and when prices began to mount, conservative interests await ing definite signs of check to the recent liquidation, began to buy.
 Shorts who had overstepped the market rushed 10 cover, adding 10 the upward impetus. which seemed to sweep away all opposition.
 With no essential change in the business or monetary situation to explain the buying, some observers inclined to the belief that the quar- terly statements of |. $. Steel and General Motors. to be announced later today, would make a better exhibit than was expected, '. S. Steel preferred reached a new 1927 maximum. Although banks called about s15, 5,o00,00 in loans. extra di- vidends declared by the Norfolk X Western and Republic Motor Truck contributed to more optimistic feeling.
 Several specialties rose 10 new peaks for the year, particularly in the drug group. United Drug. Lam- bert. Sterling Products, American Linseed. Columbia Carbon, L. S. Leather, Warren Brothers, and United States Leather "A" and prior preferred were in the list of shares selling at new high prices for 1927.
 A sudden drop in Wabash, which had recently been pulled" exten- sively on competitive buying by Lackawanna, was without effect on the general list aside from tempor- ary sympathetic heaviness in Texas & Pacific and Kansas City Southern.

 He has made that clear following publication of a symposium of prominent Americans views of his recent magazine article in which he remarked men ought to die at their zenith-but do not.
 A publicity agent linked this ob- servation iwth two others-'Most men at 10 are but a rcminiscence," :" and ''At S5 a man is at the height of his curve"-to arrive at the de- duCtioin that Durant felt most men should die after S5.
