middle of the roadway in front of
Shafer's office. Sam Caldwell,
square-set, heavy-necked~ ally of
Link Bender, forged his way
through the crowd and came. Shout

side the quiet broke into mumbling
disorder.
"You want me to finish with cross

Tiff was demanding of the judge, cor

"I've never had to clear a court
yet" said Shafer. "I-what's going
on here?"
He sat back and stared scowling
at the disturbance which set the
whole room in motion as Sam Cald-
well thrust his way through the door
and up to the table Reaching it,
Caldwell jerked off his big hat, and
threw it on the table like an old-time
fighter throwing his hat into the
ring. His face was steaming red,
marked with dust-muddied sweat.
Caldwell looked at Judge Shafer
heavily, with the dislike that hard
riding cattlemen have for men
whom they consider Intellectual.
There's a man been killed-anoth-
er, by God!" he said. "Cut in two
with shotgun at Ace Springs"
Walt Amos said sharply. Sam,

front. You can get it hemstitched
about the edge or finish with roll
hem. AS an evening wrap this cape
of black Chantilly may be worn
over the fashionable all-black gown
or over the dress done in lovely
pastels.
Have you heard the news about
the stunning blouse and skirt or
jacket and skirt formals that de-
signers are featuring this season?
They are quite the talk in fashion
realms. The jacket is supposed to
be of sumptuous fabric or lace in
contrast color to the monotone skirt.
Choose black lace if you want it to
"go with everything" although
metal lace is wonderfully effective,
or if you cherish a color scheme
why not lace jacket in the new
spruce green with crepe skirt in
darker rich green, or suppose we
say any color just so the jacket is
lace? It is no trick at all to get a
simple basque-jacket pattern of the
type pictured and it will be found
easy to make.
The little white cotton lace bolero
is very popular and it can be made
up so inexpensively it is worth while
to keep two or three in waiting for
emergency calls. Wear it over SIM
pie afternoon dresses or over a floor
length crepe sheath which trans
forms it into an evening ensemble.
JEFF of London has made an eff
fective accessory ensemble of black
Chantilly lace. (See sketch to right
bottom.) The jabot with its high
neckline matches a pair Of gaunt-
lets of the same black Chantilly,
and together they give the essential
feminine look to the most tailored
of suits.

CHAPTER VII

AS word of Cayuse Cayetano's
murder swept through the street,
the loosely grouped crowd shifted
and seemed to seethe, gathering in
knots. The haf-breed tracker had
been loved by none, respected by
none; but his trail genius was un-
disputed, and it had been widely
rumored that he was very close to
important revelations. Half dozen
men tried to follow Sam Caldwell
into the already-crowded county Of
fee, forcing in through a consid-
cradle number of the crowd inside
who had Immediately started to
make their way out.
Though it was Judge Skaters
boast that he had never had to clear
court in his life, he was induced
to do SO now.

SILHOUETTE TRENDS
FOR EVENING DRESS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Outside of that the pencil-slim
Directoire with its high slit skirt
and the revival of the Empress Eu-
genia, there is a definite tendency
in many houses to Spanish type
of dress. This is usually marked
by founce ruff1es. And one must
not forget the gently widened skirt
as evidenced also in the afternoon
clothes. The most startling bit of
material used in this has been the
placing of various types of lace over
lame to give the firmness and stiff
ness required. One more skirt
and the silhouette can be settled.
That is the short front. This varies
from the graduation effect to those
cut off clear to the knees in front
to show a filmy petticoat of ruffled
net. A cross between this and the
Directoire are skirts which are cut
away like a mans coat, to the knees
and then come down to the ground
at either side seam.

Most daytime shoes have lost the

entirely of elastic leather. insure a

To dress up to the part she plays

sportswoman. It may be along
scenic bride paths that the enthusi-
asst guides her gallant steed or il
may be in the glare Of bright light
and trumpet loud in the fashionable
horse show arena that she win
make her bow. In either event her

shows a sartorially perfect outfit.
We would especially call your atten-
ton to the horses head carved from
brown shell catalin that is noncha-

the summer it became quite a fad
to wear novel carved catalin fish,
frogs, snails and such, either clips
or brooches, on ones bathing suit.

MISS COLLEGE GIRL, Miss
4NI Debutante and matrons young
and not so young who being active
in social affairs need must dress
up" to occasion, here's telling you
how to economically acquire that
air of elegance which fashion de-
mands for this fall and winter. No
matter how ungenerouS your
clothes allowance may happen to
be you can have a whole collection
of lace "pretties" such as the
sketches here show at comparative
ly trifing cost. In fact the idea
that prompts this illustration, to-
gether with its story, is to give you
pointers" on dressing smartly and
handsomely on a limited allowance.
A touch of lace will do it! Trans
form your simplest demure and un-
pretentious gown into costume OF
distinction. And now that we've
told you, the first step is either to
let your favorite dressmaker in on
the secret (show her t h e
sketches) or perhaps you prefer to
thriftily adopt the make it your
SELF course of action. Not that you
have to be an expert with the nee
die, for, provided with carefully Sc
lected patterns, there is no reason
why, if you can sew even little
bit, that you should not successfully
copy these charming fantasies. No
matter how many you make of
these lovely lace items you can't
ever have too many.
Here's a word of friendly advice:
don't stint in getting the best type
laces for the finer and more ex-
quisite the lace you use in making
these dainty fashions the more con-
clusively will they carry message
of high-style prestige.
If you are clever and have a
knack of your own a pattern will not
be necessary for the cape for IT is

New York, July 29.-U.P- Hey
Warden! Pick out a clean warm
cell for me. I'm due to join youl
exclusive winter colony about the
first of october because Bill Ter
ry assured me in March that the
Giants had the best chances in
years of winning the National lea
que pennant.
Never can I forget that sultry
afternoon in Havana when Bill
and 1 sat there in the upper
reaches of the stands in beautiful
Tropical Park and Bill told me
why the Giants should win the
pennant. His eyes sparkled. Nev-
er have I seen the Memphis choir
singer and oil magnate more en-
thuSiaStic.
When I returned to New York,
I felt like guy who had been
tipped off on the winner Of q
boat race" at any of our horse
racing parks. I tried to inveigle
bystanders into expressing their
opinions on the outcome OF the
pennant race. They were easily
inveigled. And I bet on the Giants
the Giants-the Giants-againSt
all comers. I bet on the Giants
against the field. I bet on the
Giants against the Cubs, Cards
and Pirates in team -for-team wa
gers. Most of them were against
the Cubs.
I am beginning to fear that
Memphis Bill was over-sold on
his Giants. Bill goes in for voodoo,
good luck charms, etc., and ne
might have foreseen what was to
happen. If you don't think Bill
goes in for those things, just look
at the way he called back Blondy
Ryan, the telegraphing kid who
was his lucky Amulet in 1888.
Only superstition could have
brought about such a recall.
Terry should have foreseen the
exchange of one of his "big four"
pitchers, Freddie Fitzsimmons, for
a non-entity named Tom Baker.
And Terry should have foreseen
the indignities heaped upon his
star hurler, Carl Owen HubSell.
Hubbell, screwball king of the Ma
tional league, was blasted out Of
the box Tuesday by a seven hit
attack in the seventh inning from
the st. Louis Cards. And Carl had
been subjected to a seven. run
punishment last Friday from the
Cubs. Tuesdays beating was the
worst suffered by Hubbell since he
left Beaumont of the Texas lea
que in 1926. Those two miserable
showings, following his uncertain
display iE the All-Star game, raise
the question: "Is Bill Terry's meal
ticket all punched out?"

Invented Electric Bell

In 1876, a Scottish monk named
Gordon, then teaching in Germany,
invented the electric bell. 1t had
two little gongs, between which was
suspended a metal ball on a silk
pendulum. The charged ball struck
one gong, gave up its electricity in
doing so, and, being repelled, struck
the other gong, and the cycle was
repeated. Then the monk invented
a motor with which he electrocuted
scores Of chaffincheS. 1t was the
forerunner of the electric chair.

Newport. R. l., Aug. 1.-(U.R)-A
tall, gray-eyed man in a Seagoing
hat tramped the deck of a big
white yacht anchored in the cutter
harbor tonight, chewing the bit
of a well-wOrn pipe and gazing
frequently at a gray, roughenlng
sky.

row to Thomas Octave Murdock
Sopwith. lean British airplane
manufacturer who has sworn to
lift the Americas cup from the
hands of Yankee mariners who
have held it Sc years.
Endeavour II. the blue-hulled
British challenger sloop which
Sopwith brought across the At

sor. Endeavour l, had failed in
1884. was one down to Harold S.

Tonight the seafaring gentry
dug out pad and pencil and dop-
ed out the factors that may have
considerable bearing on the re-
manning races.
First, Endeavour II. unques-
tionably footed as fast as Ranger
when the wind was brisk but fell
off when the wind fell off.
Many salty veterans to whom a
souwester is a wind as well as a
hat. believe the British sloop needs
good wind to show her best
foot.
And most important-the &C
tual chart Of Saturdays race,
compiled by Coast Guard carto-
graphers, showed Endeavour II
travelled SO miles against Rang
er's 34.4 miles, over the 80 mile
course.
These are significant figures.
They mean that-had it not been
for bad tactical breaks for En-
deavour II-she might have come
home less than TOO yards behind
Ranger in stead of nearly two
miles, since she travelled 1.6
miles farther.
The tough break for the British
boat came on the home leg. After
rounding the buoy Is miles south
by east from the starting line,
Endeavour II tried a manuever
which-had it worked - would
have been hailed as masterpiece
of sailing strategy.
Sopwith, who worked the helm
throughout the race, chose to
point high off the course, instead
of running for home. In some
winds. a boat travels faster on a
reach sailing across the Wind
than on a run sailing with the
wind asternD. because the Slight
slant of the wind off the stern
quarter created a stronger pull
