CHAPTER XIII
Loves Sacrifice.


When she opened her eyes again it
was dusk in the deep-walled room, and
she lay on the ancient bed. For a
while she lay in a sort Of stupid
peace, gathering her faculties, which
seemed to have been scattered to the
four winds.
And then suddenly the values of life
dropped into their appointed places,
like the brilliant colors In kaleido-
scope, and she knew where she was
and what had happened.
Ell Captain had spoken, and she was
still prisoner, the property of a dap
per Mexican bandit with predatory
eyes and laughing, thin lips, Manuel
the aviator. And Starr Stone was
gone-oh, heaven! Gone to that
CHASTITY fate which lurked in the
poignant words, you to the winds and
the vultures." The wild blue eyes
that had darkened and changed under
the mandates of life, the long hands
with their tender touch, the lips SO
warm upon her own!
Sonya leaped to her feet and paced
the old room like a tigress Gagged,
striking her hands together, her soul
dying within her. The young heuten-
ant had said, "Careful-she is mine,"
and he stood next to the master now.
His word was law beneath that others,
and no one would disobey.
And presently the sonora came pad
ding softly to the door on heavy feet,
for she was old and excellently fed,
and entered to her kindly ministra-
lions.
Sonya whirled and faced her, her
dark eyes burning in the shadows.
"Senora," she said desperately,
"Have pity on me! Can you not help
me? A knife, senora-with my next
meal-left on the tray? In the name
of that holy Woman whom you wor-
ship, please, senora!
81 cannot, child" she answered
gently. Manuel would kill me. Come,
let me wash your sweet white body
with fresh water. And there Is per-
fume, and woman's clothes to dress
you ina scarlet dress, and golden
shoes for your feet. To night you rest
-Manueps orders-but tomorrow you
wear these things for him. You must
forget"
Forgeti
Forget-the vultures and the wind!
Forget the stars, the soft winds blow
ing, the creak of leather. and Starr
Stones hand on hers laid on her POM
nell she turned from the old woman
and began again her interminable
walk, the striking Of her hands to-
gether. It was a mechanical action
which somehow seemed to hold her
brain from swapping. to keep her
searching for a way to end it all.
She would not let the sonora wash
her, nor accept the silken bed gown
which she now produced. She shook
her head, pushed her away.
IF you have. within you, senora,"
she said piteously. 'any remnant Of
woman's pity for another woman lost
to all the light of life. leave me to
fight it out alone. Leave me now"
For long time the other stood and,

Large Partisan Compacts
in Brown Simulate Wood

New compacts from Paris are huge
affairs made Of brown composition
material that looks like wood. They
are loose, single pacts, trifie expen-
sive, but knockout to look at. To
make accessories harmonic, there are
bracelets and clips, trimmed in gold,
of the same substance, and necklaces
IN which synthetic wooden links alter
nate with colored stones.

FIND TUNIC BLOUSE
IN MANY VARIETIES

That blouses will remain big fash
ion is generally conceded, but in what
forms Is a matter Of discussion. Very
few couturiers have thought seriously,
as yet, of models for autumn, and
those who have show suits mostly
with hip-length Jackets and waist
length blouses Of the butcher boy type.
The rumor about Russian suit
styles has been heard here. Lucille
Paray has one suit with tunic
blouse which might come under this
designation, and Helm has another,
in velveteen with fur bordered coat.

Silk Still Holds First
Place for Undergarments

The increasing favor for lingerie
neckwear, for cotton frocks and linen
suits has brought speculation as to
change in undergarment styles, but so
far investigation has failed to reveal
any real revival of ''lingerie" lingerie.
Here and there, one finds linen night
dress, as at Helen Yrande or one of
the Paris lingerie specialists but such
a model is an exception; and even at
WORTH the prime sponsor of sheer cot
ton stuffs and frilly touches, as well
as petticoat foundations for evening
gowns, the answer is that only few
batiste gowns are shown.

That Body
Of Yours
Results in Thyroid Operations
JAMES W. BARTON, M. D.

Results in Thyroid Operations
ONE of the problems facing both
~ patient and physician in goiter or
thyroid ailments is whether an opera
tion should be performed at once or
whether treatment by rest, iodine, x
ray or other methods should first be
tried.
Now no one likes the idea of an
operation because there is the anes-
thetic, the time in hospital with its
expense, and the danger of the opera
tion. Naturally then If all this can be
avoided it would seem like good sense
to wait.
However, physicians always keep In
mind that the extra juice from the
thyroid gland makes the heart beat
more rapidly all the time and this ex-
ira work, together with poisons in the
system, can so damage the heart that
rest and other forms of treatment are
of no avail.
Therefore we now find that the con-
dition of the heart itself and the
strength of its muscular walls in
pumping the blood, is the factor that
influences the physician whether or
not to advise operation. In fact many
surgeons favor operation even when
heart symptoms are mild.
What is this operation?
The operation consists in the re-
moyal of large part, but not all. Of
the thyroid gland in the neck. In for
mer times this operation was consid-
cred SO dangerous that patients trav-
eled hundreds and often thousands Of
miles to have it performed by some
renowned sugeon. Today, in practical
ly every hospital, surgeons are per-
forming this operation with splendid
results and with very low death
rate.
Thus DIR. J. de J. Pemberton in Jour-
nal of Surgery and Obstetrics reports
a death rate Of less than per cent.
What about the results obtained BY
operation?
Statistics from Kocher's clinic in
Vienna and Mayo's clinic, Rochester,
Mimi, give SO per cent Of satisfactory
results after operation in serious cases
of the severe type of goiter.
The thought, then, is that where
rest and other forms of treatment are
not giving results in these thyroid
cases when the heart is affected, the
earlier the case is turned over to the
surgeon the less danger there is from
the operation.
Sometimes the operation Is per-
formed because the patient can't spare
the time required by the rest treat
ment.

Lione.. Loose in circu.

When the electric lights went out
during lion act Of a circus in
Cardiff, Wales, recently, five beasts
were caught in the dark. Attendants

Germs the vogue for dine, dance and
other gowns Of more or less Formally
which are created of black nets or
tulles or wispy laces Of finest diapha-
nous texture. When fashioned Of
daintiest sheer net there is almost
sure to be lavish use Of pleated
ruche effects. The gown pictured
shows wide ruche trimming outlin-
ing the pointed-back-and-front decol-
letage. A similar ruche trimming
heads the deep founee on the skirt.
The silhouette which stresses a slim
fitted hipline contrasted by pro-
nounced and sudden deep fare Is typi-
cal of the later style trends.
