DRESSES FROM BAGS
is ECONOMICAL FAD

Women have a new game In this
country-making dresses from sacks.
The idea isn't exactly new, but 1t
was not until the depression reached
its worst that the project was under
taken In earnest. 1t has gained pop
ularity in recent weeks, stimulated
by contest conducted by Miss Iris
Davenport, clothing specialist for the
extension division of Louisiana State
university.
Flour, sugar, salt, feed, seed and
even fertilizer and burlap bags are
used. Stitches are pulled and the
bags ripped open. Stencils are re-
moved by allowing the bag to stand
In lard overnight. Bleaching and dye
ing processes follow. Then it is up
to the individuality of the dress
maker.
Bags that came in through the
kitchen door now are seen swagger-
ing out the front entrance as the best
street frocks of the lady of the house.

US to say that latest reports from
Paris declare that the very newest
prints trend to reddish hues. The
coat is edged with blue fox which
gives 1t infinite chic. The swanky
little hat is Of brown cire. These
cired fabrics, ribbons and laces, are
very prominent In the realm of mil
Inery materials.
In the exceedingly clever black and
white taffeta afternoon costume pic
tured to the left, which also comes
from the house of Worth, we again
see the magic of velvet as 1t appears
on the summer style program In
trimming and an accessory role. The
collar, the jabot and the top of the
gloves, likewise the jaunty beret
which milady wears, are of black vel
vet. The pleated foundation, the
tunic lines and the wide-draped puff
sleeves are style points Of special
significance.
1t is surprising how many smart
Parisiennes are wearing little velvet
hats right In the summertime Ac-
cessory sets which include scarf,
gloves (the latest is velvet mitts),
bag, sometimes adding a belt and
shoes, should be part of every we'll
ordered wardrobe. Then, too, a col
lection of velvet bows and girdles
will not come amiss, as they may be
called upon at any time to enhance
this or that summary frock.

CHAPTER v

John had been in camp for two
nights. The train rolled in on time the
next morning and from the way-car
emerged an unusual passenger. First,
q travel-worn toboggan, showed through
the door by Way-Bill. Then packs. of
various sizes and shapes. Finally, as
odd a human being as John had OBJ
served for long time.
He was short and apparently enact
ated, and yet from the spryness of his
movements it was certain that muscles
of steel cloaked the small frame. His
beard was gray, streaked with brown,
and covered his face almost to the
small, bright eyes. His coat was of
bearskin, hitting him at the hips.
Great gauntlet gloves of fur were on
his hands and moccasins covered his
feet.
He was starting to stow the packs
on the toboggan when John ap-
preached and, seeing him, the old man
spat and nodded and exclaimed in his
high-pitched voice:
Names Richardsl Wolf Richards
Wolf Richards from Mad Woman
Uncle to Ellen on her pas side. E.
Names Steele! John Steelel Herd

could do much. Lucky couldn't.
Wouldn't we heerd bout Ellen's
trouble if I'd stayed in. Interestin',
trouble Interestin', SEEM men who
amt scared from Tom Belknap's
shadder"
All this with scarcely pause to
draw breath, and when John stopped
beside the man his eyes were twin
king. More like figure in an extrav-
aganza, this Wolf Richards seemed,
than regular, honest-to-goodness citi-
zen.

Ing for more than fleeting glance
upward as he shook out tarpaulin

"Over the edge" said John morosely,
and rolled over on his side.
For long time he lay sleepless. He
dozed and suddenly saw his father
pursuing someone who fed towards
him, screaming for his help, and this
other, suddenly revealed, was Ellen
Richards.
He woke with a start and rolled
over, muttering to himself. He did not
dream then that the time would come
when the girls voice would be lifted
in screams as Shrill as those he heard
In his dreams. He dreamed OF
stamping his foot, stamping his foot on
a resounding floor and demanding OF
Paul Gorbel that he come into the open
and fight. OF stamping. stamp
ing and when he stopped stamp
ing the sound continued.
He sat up. The sound continued,
and he looked about for its source,
bewildered by sleep.
Sounds, yes; coming from outside.
Heavy thuds. Horses kicking! A num-
Der of horses kicking, and a shrill
nickering.
His feet hit the cold floor and he
lunged to window.
Turn out !" he croaked, as he
whirled back to grope for his pants.
"Turn out, you! The barns afirel"
Saunders was up; Jerry was rolling
out. babbling as sleep added to his
panic. Wolf Richards chartered shril-
ly.
"Fire!" John yelled, as he ran out
side and buttoning his coat over his
underwear made for the mems shanty.
"Fire r'-as he burst in the
door. "Out, you bulliesl Fire!"
He went on, Saunders hard after
him.
Horses were squealing now, and
kicking more furiously. He heard
wood splintered under a hoof and
could see, through the partially opened
doorway, the low cavern of the barn
lighted by angry flames.
He was into it, throwing an arm
over his face to strain smoke from the
air he breathed. He caught distant
odor, though, and through his mind
went one word:
Gasoline!
A windrow of hay along the center
of the building burned. Flakes of the
bales, half torn apart, were strewn
there, it seemed, and they blazed bright
ly, orange fronds of flame leaping up
ward to find hold on cobwebbed raft
ers as the draft of the ventilators
sucked the gases through the roof.
Smoke swirled about the floor and he
stumbled as he ran on. striving to gain
the rear stalls first.
He choked as he entered the stall,
but grasped the horses name over and
over, putting hand on the rump,
Come on, boy" he said, trying to
| speak without excitement. STEADY,

The horse sided, banged into stall

MAKE yourself comfortable. I've job
to do. and I'll see you at dinner"
He tore away, leaving the little man
still spewing words, and walked over
to the barn to join Jack TAFT and
Saunders.
"Who's Richards?" he asked, and
they grinned.
Hes Ellen's uncle" Saunders chuck
led. "Her dads only brother. Course,
he's cracked. Din good trapper, too (;
would make well at 1t If he'd leave
wolves alone, but when he hears Of
wolf or thinks he knows where one
might show up. he'll stay by him I'M
til he gets him or drives him out of the
country. Lives alone away down on
the Mad Woman. Has for years. They
all get that way, you know"
"Yup," Jack TAFT agreed. "a queer
old duck. Harmless for the most part.
but he'll make trouble yet, I'm afraid.
You'd think, to see him in town or
here, that he was the friendliest cod
ger alive, but he amt. Won't take a
traveller in at all when he's alone. All
but Ellen. She goes up to see him for
day or so now and then"
Until noon hour John thought no
more of Wolf Richards. He and Saun-
ders were busy trying to figure way
through the complications which con-
fronted them.
Burke had put on even more saws at
hn q Thn
switches at the crossing were plugged
with loaded cars bound for KampfeSt;
equipment breakdown on the branch
had delayed movement, but when John
had called this to Burke's attention,
arguing that it achieved his employers
nothing to keep insisting that their
logs were moved to the crossing as
soon as loaded, the man only grinned.
Orders are orders; contracts are
contracts. I've got mine; go read
yours, Steele!"
And so John buckled down In earn
est to the uphill pull.
Through supper and for brief time
in the office afterwards. the old trap
per's voice held to its sustained, shrill
gable. Then. abruptly, he rose, and,
divesting himself of his outer clothing
with rapid jerks, jumped into the bed
assigned him, and within seconds was
snoring.
Jack TAFT came in to talk to John
who sat before the stove, smoking and
going over plans with Saunders. He
was there q few minutes and went
out. Saunders yawned, rose and
stretched. He rid himself of his chew
and unbuttoned his shirt.
The light was turned out, and super
intendent and foreman lay in their
beds, still talking lowly.

big dropoff in the dark" Mark said.
and stirred In his blankets. Every

made a national park in May. 1880.
They consist of series of lofty, spa

The park has an area of only one
square mile. although the caverns ex-
