ALL the mysterious. enticing Hubby.

drives to the Valley for a days fishing,
though admitting to himself his chief
desire is to see the glamorous Hubby

nineteen-year-old granddaughter Jenny
live in the Valley. Since childhood
Jenny has deeply loved young VIII
Ferrin, older than she, and who re-
CARDS her as still a child. Will leaves
to take employment in nearby Augusta.
His fathers death brings VIII back
to the Valley, but he returns to Au-
gusta, still unconscious of Jennys
womanhood, and love- Neighbors OF

Choicest Products Sent
Aheld, Travellers Find

If one must have the choicest
caviar, stay away from Russia, or
If the finest cheese is desired, avoid
Switzerland, reports the Columbus
Dispatch. This statement only re-
fleets what experienced travellers
have discovered, for it is an axiom
that the finest products of district
or country usually are reserved for
export. Even in southern California
one looks in vain in the grocery
stores for the great sound oranges
so common elsewhere.
Moscow serves the inferior caviar,
with the eggs small and many of
them broken, while search for q
cheese of the large h0led variety in
Lucerne brings the answer from the
shopkeeper that the good cheeSes are
shipped to England or America.
The answer to all this is very SIM
pie. Shipment to other parts brings
higher prices.
Apparently the people are not con-
cerned over the fact that these fine
qualities of their choicest products
are sent afield. Familiarity with
their qualities lessons the appetite
for the delicacies, and the increased
revenue is sufficient to make up for
any denial on their part.

She saw the men approaching with
their burden, and she and Marin
Pierce came out on the kitchen porch.
and the old woman cried urgently:
Somebody's hurt bad Jenny, get
the cloth off the dining room table.
Put couple leaves in. and blanket
on it, SOS they can lay him there"
Fetch him in," she commanded
"Who is it? win Ferrin?"
''His legs shot off," said Luke Hills
hoarsely. "Seth shot him: would have
killed him, like as not. But viii held
on till he choked the life out of Seth"
Don't stand there talking!" the old
woman scolded. Lay him on the table

"Get doctor, told you! Jabber-

down. Now get out of here, the lot
of you. Jenny and me, we'll tend him.
One of you go telephone, and the rest
of you stay handy, case l need you"
A man departed at clumsy run, and
Marin Pierce, standing by Will, Sitting
away his overalls, tugging at his heavy
shoe, asked over her shoulder:
where's Seth?"
Hes dead. No help for him." Luke
Hills told her.

she directed. "Get along" And to
Jenny: "Shut the door!"
So Jenny and Marin Pierce were
left to tend the hurt man, and Marin
Pierce as she barred the wound made
little rueful whistling sounds between
her teeth, and Jenny was cold as
stone, all emotions in allegiance, stand
ing like ice.
Get water boiling, Jenny" Marin
Pierce directed. 1.-The doctor'll want
that, certain. And fetch some water
here till clean his leg all l can"
Jenny turned to the kitchen, chunked
the fire, pumped water, put the ket-
tie on the stove; then she came back
to the dining room. She had not
spoken.
Wills eyelids wavered, opened, then
closed again. He said weakly: "My
teams tied, up on-ridge road. Some
body fetch 'em home"

told him. You'll need all the strength

Umbrella Skirt Is Favored
by Goods for Sweater Use

The umbrella skirt is the newest
thing on the campus horizon.
It's the skirt that college girls will
wear with their sweaters this fall, it
looks like its name. It's a skirt with
a decided flare, gored in the umbrella
manner, with crosses between the
seams. 1t demonstrates the new rule
of shorter and fuller, and it's shown in
all the new f1annels and tweeds.
College girls, tired of the classic
button-down-t he-front skirt of wrap
around cut, are going in for cores
this fall. The majority of skirts shown
in college shops around town are def
nitely iared, and gored to the last
notch.
They come in nice soft monotone
tweeds and Angora fabrics, and are
shown in colors to blend or contrast
with any sweater,

FOR WOMEN GAINS

heretofore have restricted their man.
nish costuming to the beach or the
back yard, may now come right out in
the open and wear trousers ~ dinner
and dance.
There seems no doubt that some of
the leading designers are all for the
trOusered mode.
Some gowns have the trousers be-
meath skirt, slit to the waist.
Some feature divided skirts con-
cealingly draped.
And some come right out with I'M
disguised trousers in formal afternoon
and dinner clothes.
The most daring variation of the
theme presented thus far is the slashed
evening skirt which reveals matching
shorts.

previously achieved in the annals Of
the wooden industry.
Wool crepes, printed challis and
cashmeres are especially lovely styled
in soft types that are suitable to wear
under fur coats. There is much eX-
element, too, in regard to the new
sheer woolens.
Quite the newest trend in fashiOning
the smartest wooden suits is to bind
the edges with supple fur after the
manner shown to the left in the group
pictured Here we see a young fash
ionable clad in a jacket frock of sheer
black wooden. 1t has the new short
peplum The edges of the jacket and
the modishly flared skirt are banded
with black Persian lamb. The crushed
ascot scarf is of bright green MORE.
Speaking of sheer black, at this mo-
ment it is the rage for daytime
dresses, with clever buttonings, shir-
rings, pleatings and metal gadgets to
give the individual touch.
Campus-bound, the chic girl conferred
in the trio is wearing smart two
piece frock of lightweight wooden
styled to look young. Gray Persian
lamb decorates the collar and the
patch pockets Of the tailored jacket
that fastens down the front with self
fabric covered buttons.

piece frock for the junior, shown to

ened it once more. She saw Jenny's
fearful doubts of this procedure, and
said:
II dunno, Jenny. Seems like I've
heard tell you've got to let some blood
get through, or the leg'll die. 1 guess
it's going to have to be cut off, though.
No bone left, only splinters, for four
five inches down the shin.'
Jenny nodded dumbly.
"All we can do Is keep him quiet
till the doctor comes" Marin Pierce
confessed. II can cure some hurts, this
here is too much for me-"
And later she said: You put pill
low under his head, and blanket over
him, to keep him warm"
But when these things were done
they could only keep vigil, till after
long hour the doctor did arrive.
When that which had now to be
done was done, Jenny was left drained
and empty, her muscles limp, her heart
sick. Throughout, she and Marin Pierce
had helped the doctor; the old woman
administering chloroform drop by drop
under strict direction, Jenny holding
this and that as she was hidden.
When at last she was no longer
needed, she went weakly into the
kitchen to wash her hands and clean
her garments; she returned to her
own room to change into her other
gear. Time had flown; dusk was pur-
pie in the Valley. When she returned
to the dining room, Will had somehow
been moved so that he lay, breathing
in long gasping inhalations. on the
couch; and Jenny found the doctor
gone, and only Marin Pierce and Luke
Hills remaining here.
The old woman looked at Jenny In
the lamps pale light, and saw the
girls exhaustion; and she came to say
to her softly:
"Jenny, there's nought to do here for
while. 1t will be long enough till he
knows us, or knows anything. You get
out of doors, get some air, breathe life
back into you, child. You're pale as a
gone thing yourself, this minute. I'll
tend all here's
And Jenny, moving with a curious
passivity, obeyed the old woman as
she was used to obey. The night would
be cold; and she put on coat over
her dress, and a shawl about her head
and shoulders, and went out into the
| thickening darkness.
This was still, cold night, with
threat of another frost before dawn
The stars prickling overhead, STOPPING
low, peered brightly down like the
eyes of curious children. The girl
looked up at them, and she heard
an owls hooting cry far down the

MOST of the glory in the fabric

ems this season. Whether you work or
play, whether you travel or saunter
about town, whether you are campus

DEGREES that your costume be Of some
one or other of the handsome new
woods that are showing this season.
Time was "way back when" that the
merits of woolens were reckoned in
terms of sturdy utilization qualities
that insured comfort when the tenn
perature went low as well as sterling
variability throughout the practical
hours. But now all is changed in that
you may have your wooden weaves as
fastidious, as eloquent of chic and
charm as you please.
Wherefore, the new wool fabrics
have become the idol of fashion. The
current collections intrigue with their
wide versatility, their breath-taking
novelty, the colorings which are rich
and beautiful beyond widest flights
Of fancy, together with weaves and
textures the likes of which were not
dreamed of in days of yore.
The woman who knows her woolens
will choose according to time, place
and occasion. For sports and for prac-
teal daytime clothes, rabbit woolens
are outstanding. They are shown in
cunning novelty checks and stripes and
bold plaids which particularly stress
the new wines, chic violet tones, dark
browns and deep rich green's. Nubby
mixture tweeds and clearinghouse are
also favorites in sports woolens. Pop
ular also are homespuns surface cord
ings, diagonal or vertical ribbings and
endless weaves that are nubbed, slubbed,
fiecked and highly metalized, fascinat-
ing and mysterious beyond anything
