MAKING A DRESS

The question is often asked,
(Which shall I choose first, the
pattern or material?"
It is best to select the pattern be-
cause printed on the back of the en-
velope is the exact amount Of ma
terial required for the garment,
and suggestion for kind of material
to be used. McCalls patterns are
perhaps the best for the beginner
to use for complete instructions
and directions are printed on the
pattern.
Let us select a tailored cotton
dress to construct. Our material
has plain surface with no pattern
or up and down weave Now take
each piece of the pattern from the
envelope and with the aid of the
direction chart identify each piece
Fold material selvedge to selvedge
the width of skirt pattern. Pin in

Continue to lay and pin pattern
as directed on envelope so as to

possible. Always be sure the long
blue arrows on the pattern are
lengthwise of the material. When
all pieces have been attached on
material, cut through pattern and
material between the double blue
line about the edge of the pattern.
Next haste, then sew all darts.
Generally there are two to three

in the waist back at belt line on
left and right sides. Bast, then
sew all side seams and the seam
used for this type of dress are open

Employers Must
Pay Unemployment
Tax By Jan. 18th.
Heavy Penalties Will Be En-
forced Upon Those Who Do
Not Make Payments.
Especial To The POSt)

\OPCCAdA HI AAC OoS/
Raleigh, Nov. 21.-Penalties equal
to the amount of their contribu-
tons to the North Carolina Unem-
ployment Compensation fund for
1887 will be exacted by the FEEDER
al Government from employers
subject to the State act, unless the
contributions are paid to the State
fund by January Is, 1898, E. w.
Price, director of the Unemploy-
ment Compensation Division, re-
minds in a letter to contributing
employers.
Numbers Of employers subject to
the State act in 1886 thought,
through transformation or misun-
derstanding, that if they paid the
Federal Government the full one
per cent levied by Title 9 of the
Social Security Act, after the dead
line of April l, 1887, then they
would not have to pay the nine
tenths of one per cent levied by the
State law, Mr.. Price said How
ever they found that even though
they paid full one per cent to the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, they
still had to pay the -tenths of
one per cent levied by the State
act.
The law applies to 1887 pay
ments, they have paid the State
fund it's 1.8 per cent on 1887 pay
rolls. If this cannot be shown, the
liable employers will again be sub
ject to collecting of the entire two
per cent by the Federal Govern
ment, and, in addition, will have
to pay the States 1.8 per cent. If
the 1.8 per cent is paid to the State
by January Is, then the Federal
Government will collect only two
tenths of one per cent, which
makes a total of two per cent for
both State and Federal taxes. If
the penalty is exacted, it will cost
the employers 3.8 per cent of their
1897 payrolls, Mr.. Price warns.

her hands.
He said, 'How much have you told
her, boy?"
"She knows only what she's
guessed, think. The rest of the
story has to come from YOU"
The boss of the "a appeared to
consider for what seemed a long
time. "I-I don't know as I can
make out to do that. Life hasn't
gone easy, or smooth, with me- 9th
err times, long ago, I've faced down
other men, more men than these.
But I swear I never raised gun to
any man, without he got his break!
I stood with empty hands, always,
until their guns showed from the
leather"
'She has to know it ALL" Billy in
sisted; from the very beginning.
1T can't hardly expect her to un-
derstand how it come up. Those
shots threw so close to her-that's
the crazy part, that a man can't
hardly explain. couldn't ever have
done it, if didn't know for GER
tain that I could put slug into a
two-bit piece at a hundred yards
ten out of ten, easy as you'd put
your finger on nail. 1t seems a
wild and crazy thing, even to me-
Butt tell you, never a man lived
that could throw the fear into me
that this kid has always been able
to-just on the scare that she'd quit
me. And thought if there was one
thing she'd be sure of on earth, it
vas that I'd give my life to save the
least hair of her head from harm.
And I took that way; so that she'd
always be dead certain, whatever
might happen or be proved later,
that it couldn't be true that it was
me killed Flagg."
"Oh, Horse, Horse" Marian said,
how did it ever happen?"
1.-The shoot-out with Flagg, YOU
mean?"
He told them now, step by step;
the story of an old gun-fghter, and
old ideals of justice and right. It
came out haltingly, as Horse Dunn
paced. But even told slowly, and
with an effort greater than they
could ever know, that story was
brief.
Until he met Bob Flagg on the
Red Sleep trail, Dunn had had no
advance word of his partners ar
rival. At that time he had already
been waiting for Flagg's arrival for
weeks-the very existence of the
"a with Flagg, Dunn had learned the
truth. There had been no sale of the
Flagg-Dunn ranch, and there were
no proceeds. There had been no
such ranch for more than two
years!
Bob Flagg had neither been COM
plstely crooked, nor completely fool
ish; but a combination of some folly
and some crookedness had been
more than enough to break the
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-12-02

brand when the beef market failed.
To Dunn, in the moment of discov-
cry, it must have seemed that Mar
ian's property-for the Arizona
ranch was to have saved Marian's
"a had been gambled away by his
cheating partner.
There was only one thing to do"
Horse Dunn said now with an odd
simplicity. Bob Flagg knew it as
well as me. You have to say this
for him-he put off facing the music
for two years; but in the end he
came and faced it like man. said
to him, Bob, I can't let this pass
He said, I know it, Horse I said,
Bob, aim to turn my back. Fire

hear your gun, I'll turn and draw
His second shot sung over me, for
had to stoop to 60 for the only gun
I had, which was an old derringer
in my boot; and in the next second
I let drive-and he was through"
Slowly, then, old Horse Dunn tried
to explain to them how it was he
had buried Mob Flagg in the Red
Sleep. It had seemed the most nat
ural thing in the world that he
should make suitable burial of
his partner in some far, open place.
He felt no sense of remorse. He
had simply set out to lay away his
partner-no less his partner because
they had split at the end of the trail.
And then the thought of seeing
horror in the eyes of his niece, who
would not underestimate suddenly
had seemed more than he could
face. Never before in all his long
career had Horse Dunn concealed
from the world anything that he had
done. Even this time, his worship
of this girl prompted him only to
single trick-the trick that had
fooled Old Man Coffee in the Short
Creek trailing He was riding a
horse from which the shots had Just
been pulled, so that it had deep,
long hoofs, with nail splits. He sim
ply rode the horse into the water,
dismounted, and trimmed the hoofs
flat to the sole, with his knife. It
had fooled Coffee; it had not fooled
old Rock.
Nor had it fooled Cayuse Caye-
tano. But Horse rested no great
weight in the killing at Ace Springs.
Cayuse had been a worthless char
acter; Horse already owed him a
heavy debt in missing calves, for
Cayetano had been a cow thief in
his own right. Horse looked at this
shoot-out as an execution long over
due. Yet here as before. he had CIV
en- his adversary better than even
break
AS Wheeler and Coffee had sus-
pected, Lon Magoon had been a dis
tant witness. Magoon was another
whose punishment for petty rustling
Dunn considered too long DELAYED,
He too had had best break. But be-
fore the great old fighter lesser men
seemed to go to pieces, losing their
hghtlng mettle so that there could
be only one end.
Continued Next Week.

From something Marian said. At
ter the first shot at her, she said,
I'm glad it happened. I can't tell
you why I know now what she
meant by that. Those shots proved
to her that no one who loved her
was mixed up in the Short Crick
works. And today it suddenly came
to me that just to fix thst idea in
her mind might have been reason
enough for dropping those shots
near her. Then I remembered the
night when you tapped up your
ankle where it was skinned, and
spoke of Strengthening your spur.
Of course, spur doesn't skin a
mans ankle bone. Some boot weap-
on would have to do that; and a der
ringer carrying shotgun shell. The
shot in the saddle fooled Coffee, for
awhile; it looked to him like it came
from farther away than the roses
had stood apart, and made him think
there was third man. But l just
happened to think that the shot
could have come from short weak
gun with the same effect. Well"
Wheeler finished-"Cofee has been
to Pahranagat; he found out that
Flagg came through there like
bum"
Dear God" Horse Dunn whis-
pered. 'It's-the end of the rope"
He pulled his hands away, and be-
gan to pace the two strides that the
cell permitted-back and forth, back
and forth.

him you See
Marian raised her face, surpris-
ingly in command of herself again.
Her voice was steady. 81 do see it!

Dunn's pacing stopped; he raised
big shaking hands, pleading hands.
"And yet you-you ain't-you don't

Marian cried out to him-and
there was pain in her voice, but
there was glory in it, too-''I think
nobody ever loved anybody so much

Horse Dunn sagged down onto the
bare steel cot within his cell. "Mar-
ian, if you're telling me that you
you know-and yet you're backing
me, still"
The girl was pressed against the
bars that kept her from him. 'Tm
telling you that believe in you with
all my heart!"
Horse Dunn stood up slowly, like
a man in a dream.
The light within the concrete
walls had strengthened with the ris-
ing of the sun-or perhaps it was on
ly that their eyes had become more
accustomed to the half-dark; but
now they could see that into Horse
Dunn's face had come a war-like
glory. Once more he looked like a
young man. The girl reached

MARKET CLOSED
IN RUMANIA

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Dec
80 G.N.S0.-Octavian Goga, Ru
mania's new premier, took swift
and drastic measures today to halt
financial opposition to his freshly
inaugurated regime.
The government issued a decree
closing the Bucharest stock ex'
change and strictly forbidding all
financial transactions until Jan
uary TO-,
This action was taken after the
stock market and other financial
quarters had exhibited marked
nervousness as a result of Goga's
choice for the Premiership.
At the same time, in another
move seen as bringing Rumania
closer to a semi-fascist dictator
ship, Goga, leader Of the anti
semitic Christian Socialist Party,
suppressed three Liberal demo
cratic newspapers.
This was interpreted in diplo-
matte circles as a move toward a
virtually totalitarian regime.
Foreign observers believed this
trend would lead Rumania closer
to Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy
and further away from France
and the little entente.
At the same time, there were ru-
mors the new cabinet might make
some move to restrict or even abol-
ish the powers of the Rumanian
parliament.
