AT JACKSONVILLE Jacksonville, Nov. 17.—Determin- ed to save three ducks which he had kilied and was prevented from reach- ing when the engine of a motor boat stopped working, Harry L. Cone, a well known young man of this city, was drowned yesterday morning in McGirt's creek. The accident occurred when Cone stripped off his clothing and plunged overboard, intending to swim to the birds, which were floating some dis- tance away. He reached the ducks and grasped them one after another, but as he turned to return to the launch he suddenly showed signs of distress and sank beneath the water, Three times he went under, but atill clutched his birds, until at last he disappeared, and his companions in the launch, in horror, realized that (‘one had met his death. Unable to Assist. Willie Brooks and another young man who was in the launch frantical- ly tried to reach the spot where Cone had disappeared, but could make but little speed with the disabled launch. After vainly trying to locate the body of their unfortunate friend, they finally were forced to return to shore and report the fatality. Original “Yeggman.” The word yeggman is sald to bave originated from the criminal exploits of Jobn Yegg, who, according to criminal tradition, was a BSwedish desperado who operated in the Pa- cific coast states in the late seventles. Metal Adaptable for Airships. The new metal known as Liege metal is sald to be 40 per cent, light- er than aluminum, which makes it particularly useful for airships.

HALLAM & CO. Lakeland, Fla. oo oo O Cl’Chestnuts | O By LESLIE LOUISE DAVIS [ oo ao (Copyright, 1911, by Associated Literary Press.) They were playing “The Blue Dan- ube.” The rhythmic swing of the walts floated dreamily out to Miss Tre- maine where she sat in the half dark- ness of the hotel plazza. The rounded measures seemed to come to her from a long distance, so far into the past was her mind carried by the sweet familiarity of the notes. How many times she had danced to them in the old bappy days at Long Branch and Saratoga! She closed her eyes to see herself again as a popular belle, and in the pictures she created all her partners wore one face. She could feel his arm around— “Why in the world do you suppose they play such funny old tunes?” The brisk voice of her nlece, Elizabeth, broke stridently on Miss Tremaine's ear, jolting her rudely out of her reverle. “Funny old tunes! Why, child, that's ‘The Blue Danube,’ an exquis- ite thing! | know every mote of it! I've danced miles to that waltz; it's perfect!” “'Oh, it's a good enough waltz,” agreed Ellzabeth indifferently, “but it's a chestnut.” For a minute Miss Tremalne was too startled to reply, then she answer- ed apologetically, “It is rather old; why. yes, of course it's old. Where is Roger? Why aren't you dancing?”’ “He has gone to bring some lemon- ade. He's bringing some for you, too. He's the most thoughtful fellow! Aunt Mollle, don’t you think he's dear? I'm perfectly crazy about him!" Miss Tremaine assented cordially and smiled a welcome upon the pleas- ant faced youth approaching followed by a walter carrying a tray of glasses. Elizabeth lifted her tumbler, then bastily set it down agaln, “Oh, come, Roger!" she cried. “They're playlng ‘Every Little Move- we mustn't miss that!” and laugh her partner hurried aft- er her and they disappeared into the botel. Miss Tremaine, left alone once more, was comfortably sipping her Took Her Morning Dip. lemonade when suddenly her young charges appeared again in the bright circle of light around the door. To her surprise Roger Cary turned abruptly and ran down the steps and off Into the night. Elizabeth came straight toward her, eyes very bright and cheeks very pink. “Why, where is Roger golng?" quer- fed Miss Tremaine anxiously. “Back to New York,” answered Elizabeth through set teeth. “Elizabeth, you haven't quarreled?” “We have—disagreed. [ am very much disappointed in Roger. I never dreamed he could be so narrow mind- ed, You know, Aunt Mollie, I will not be dictated to!” “Oh, Elizabeth.” regretfully, “I am so sorry! Isn’t he coming back?” “No, he is neve. coming back. 1 shouldn’t see him if he came. 1 am THE EVENING dance.” declared the girl, and she ! persistently declined all the persua- | sions of her former partners to make her join them. They sat in silence for a while, then Miss Tremaine thought best to attempt some conversation. “They've played this music all sum- mer. | don't know the name, but I should think they would be very tired of it. It's what you call a chest nut.” Elizabeth roused indignantly. “A chestnut! Why, Aunt Mollle, that's ‘Every Little Movement’ 1 know every note of it. [I've danced miles to it! Oh, let's go where we can't hear. | just can't stand it!” She sprang from her chair and Aunt TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA, NOV. if, 1914 ward a medium low hee! along the muannish lines. “In the window of one high grade <tore advance styles are shown ia fall stvles—Parisian effects very largely. \ith the costures for street wear all button shoes are shown, lace shoes not even having a look in.

In the night Miss Tremaine was awakened by a slim white figure standing by her bedside with a tear- stained face peering at her through the shadows. “Aunt Mollle, I can't sleep. Would you mind if I stayed with you & while?” meekly asked Ellzabeth. “It would make me feel better to talk. Aunt Mollle, were you ever in love?” “Yes, dear.” “Very much so, Aunt Mollle?” “Yes, dear.” “And did you do things together and have gay times? Did you dance, Aunt Mollle, with your—beau?’ 8he evidently thought the old-fashioned word more suitable than any modern expression. “Yes, Elizabeth, we—danced.” “And then what happened? Did you quarrel?” “We—disagreed. | would not be dictated to, Elizabeth.” “Oh-h, I see. And he never came back?”" “No, dear.” “And you never cared for anybody else?” “Never.” “And always, after that, when you heard the music that you had danced to did It tear your very soul to bits and play the tune on your heart strings? Because if it did, Aunt Mol- lle, you know how I feel tonight!" And then she was gone. p The next day passed uneventfully. In the evening Miss Tremaine was seeking her accustomed corner of the plazza and feeling rather dismally that with Elizabeth’s spirits drooping all the life had dropped out of the universe, when a glad exclamation made her turn. Elizabeth was hurrying toward her, her face happily alight. Beside her strode Roger Cary, ardently talking as he walked, and behind them ap- parently forgotten, came a tall, good- looking man whose eyes were eagerly scanning Miss Tremalne as he ap- proached her. “Aunt Mollle!” cried Elizabeth, “I telegraphed Roger to come back. | couldn't go the rest of my life with- out him. Oh, and this is his uncle, Mr. Howard Dean.” Howard Dean! Miss Tremaine steadled herself before she could meet the earnest eyes. \Was this a dream of the past? Floating out from the hotel came the sweet strains of a walts, “It's 'The Blue Danube,’ Molile,” smiled Mr. Dean. “Don't you think you could dance It with me again?” “I believe I could,” answered Miss Tremalne, looking very pink and pret- ty. “Are you coming, children?”’ Elfz- abeth shook her head. “We'll wait for ‘Every Little Move ment’ And, Aunt Mollie,” she whis- pered, her voice no longer strident but sweet and womanly, “I'm sorry I called ‘The Blue Danube’ a chestnut. I know better now. They never can be chestnuts when you've danced them with your beau!" COMING STYLES OF SHOES Footwear for Women Have Lower Heels and Are Buttoned—Tans in Favor. “Tans have been growing in favor for winter street wear and will be much in evidence, especially in the rich brown shades, not too dark in color,” an observer of trade conditions safs in the Shoe Retailer. “Incidentally, it might be mention- ed that button shoes in all leather and for all occasions are increasing in favor. This is especially true of shoes made with medium high round toes, medium high heels and the short vamp effects. “The blucher cut lace shoe will bhe a strong seller, more particularly in the heavy leathers and the round toe shapes, the combination suggesting strongly the custom-made shoe.

She took her morning dip in the surf, and in the afternoon joined a party of young people going crabbing. It was not until after dinner that Miss Tre- maine noticed any difference in her. A dance every evening was one of the attractions advertised for the hotel, and soon the orchestra began its al- luring tuning of Instruments. To Miss Tremaine's surprise Elizabeth proposed that they should sit outside. “L am fired tonight, 1 shall not tinue in favor for dress and Sunday wear. For the welldressed men of more conservative tastes the lace and blucher patterns in straight-shaped lasts, medlum narrow toe, fairly high custom heel and close-trimmed sole will lead. “For women the high buttoned hoot with fairly broad, mannish shaped toes and heavy single sole will be first cholce for street wear.
