"The ragged, hawk-faced scout
laughed. Little boy" he said.
"yuh run home to yuh daddy
an leave this hyah war to old
folks lax we-all." He continued
to urge his bony horse forward
and Gailliard rode behind him
both looking over her head at
the abatis beyond.
Operator 13, the handkerchief
dangling from her right hand,
spread out her arms wide as
though to bar their progress.
Chancellor Again
Chancellor good humoredly
turned his horse aside to pass
her, and she caught the ami
NAL by the head, checking it so
that it reared.
"Take quh hands off'n that
bridle!" said Chancellor friecely,
stopping and making a swoop
at her with his gaunt fingers.
AS he caught her by the col
lar to jerk her aside, she looked
up into his dark, haggard face.
Then he recognized her.
"Mr. Chancellor" she said
breathlessly, "take Captain Gail
lard and go back. All Sheri-
dams cavalry are ahead Of
you. Upon my honor this road
is not open. There is no road
open. What's the good of be-
ing killed here in the woods"
Chancellor's grasp relaxed;
she jerked herself free and
turned to Gailliard, who stared
at her in silent amazement.
st am not lying" she said
tremulouSly. There's no use
going on to be killed. I sup
pose you won't believe that it's
all over. But it is. This is
the end Of it, gentlemen. Go
back and tell your generals.
There's no way out for you
along the AppomAttox."

The other afternoon at head

feminine voice informed him
that its owner was from a small

CHAPTER AZ

He came back very much
excited, saying that those were
bonfires and that General
Grant was there.
All night long the trample
Of Ronald Mackenzie'S passing
cavalry disturbed her rest. She
had gloomy dreams, too, Of
fires on the Peaks Of Otter
and Of death in White Gap,
where she had murdered her
own lover with her pistol while
Vespian Chancellor shot her
heart to pieces with phantom
bullets which she could not
feel.
Dix awoke her in her chilly
blanket, bringing a lantern and
a note from Colonel Sharpe at
Farmville.
"I hear there is a corduroy
forest road somewhere between
Appomatox Courthouse and the
Lynchburg highway. If this is
true 1t is not shown on any Of
our military maps. Take some
scouts and investigate"

Capital
BIZ John SNURE. Jr.

Big game hunting in Africa,
India, etc., may have it's appeal
to Cabinet officials and such,
but William j. McDermott jr.,
bill clerk Of the House, goes
after his prey just outside Of
his office, and in so doing en-.
deavors to rid the city of a
nuisance.
Bill has a pistol, from which
small lead pellets are elected by
rubber-band power. However, it
has unusual power and ac-
curacy of aim.
When winters dusk falls over

open window.
And with his trusty weapon
shoots at starlings that perch
atop Capitol columns in the
twilight.

make on your own social landscape is
from her dressmaking brush, hear We

ting princess lines, supple, beltless all

interesting drapings; neckllnes that
elongate themselves In front into
streamers which hang to the floor, or
which drape like hood Mt the back;
evening gowns rise shell-like in the
back leaving, for instance, an emer-
aid green slip to be seen through a
slit in the outer iron gray matt crepe
of the frock itself. Very long trains
are favored.

tunic is shortened to above the knee
over a skirt heightened into hong

Semiformal Sweater Is
Suggested for Evening

An evening sweater for semiformal
wear has been launched by an intrepid
American designer who is giving her
Parisienne sisters grand run for
their money in the matter of original
ity. Her newest and most daring in
spirati0n has so recently appeared that
it is impossible to say as yet what
measure of success 1t will have. The
sweater is the jumper type, made of
red silk braid combined with white
wool cr0cheted bands. 1t looks quite
slithering and gay when worn with a
floor length skirt Of black satin, fitted
in sculptured lines over the hips and
released at the knees in voluminous
fullness.

attractive for words.
For spring sportswear and utility
costumes there are certain types being
shown which are nothing less than
ideal for the purpose. Not alone pic
torially do they capture ones fancy

and their feel that they will wear
like iron. See in the picture how
smartly these new striped and dotted
and checked materials adapt them
selves to the new shirtwaist fashions

dress conferred in our illustration Is

FASHION calls to stripes and dots
and checks in every type of fab
rio. And you do not have to lay your
ear to the ground to catch the message
either. Even at this very moment
whole armies Of stripes and dots and
checks are literally swarmlng in to an
swer to roll call.
The proclamation concerning the
vogue for stripes is fairly being shout
ed from the housetops on styled0m's
domain. AS to these widely heralded
stripes some like 'em Roman, some like
'em blazer, some prefer gay little
candy stripes, while others lean to
diagonal stripes either done almost
invisibly In the weave or coming out
bold and wide q la zebra.
Even now with the spring season
scarce under way stripes are peeking
out from under winter coats or auda-
ciously staring at you In guise Of hat
and-scarf sets, while gorgeous stripes
scintillating with gold and silver are
leading a gay night life as they go
dancing DER waxened ballroom floors
or shine forth in theater and restau-
rant gatherings.
Such is the craze for stripes we
even know of certain clever blouse
made of heavy upholsterfng Roman
stripe fabric. Smile If you will at the
idea but it certainly was stunning. 1t
was striped wool jersey in Roman
colors gay which Chanel recently used
for a blouse TO accompany velveteeD

NEW YORK, october 19.-Eugene
r. Black, governor of the Federal

night that bankers never will redeem
their place in America until they
fight for themselves and for the re-

Gov. Black, who is a contact man
between bankers and the Roosevelt

first annual convention of the Saw
ings Banks Association of New York
State.
Speaking on "the future of bank
Ing" he asserted it involved consid-
Grafton of the immediate past and
present conditions of banking and re-
sponsibilities. These, he explained,
centered on present business condt-
tions; whether the United States is
recovering, the fears and apprehen-
SionS of buSiness-such as the de-
struction of individual iniative-
profits, monetary policies, the budget
and taxation.

confidence and a renewed courage, "

banking is up to the bankers"
