N'—-—_-___—____—“—-—‘— “See here, Mr. Reeves,” he an- nounced, swinging a great war club,! heavily carved and richly worked in | with gold and colors, “I've made a| great find.” “I see,” nodded Reeves, but serl ously. “It was near a tree, and it's only one of a dozen different weapons like spears and darts, with gold handles. Come along, we'll get the rest. But Reeves put out a staying hand. “Get that thing back to where you found it quick as you can,” he di-| rected. “Why, what for?” inquired the sur prised Ronald. “If you had looked up into that tree you would probably have seen a burial platform. These are the trophies of some big chief,” ex- plained Reeves. “For any one to even touch them is held as sacrilege by these superstitious natives. Missing that memento, the war club, they would trail you to the end of the earth -to recover it. I advise you to take it back at once.” This Ronald did. He replaced the object just where he had found it and turned to retrace his steps to his friend, half a mile away. Just then a wild uproar greeted him. Fierce yells rent the air. From behind a score of bushes as many dusky natives sprang into view. Donald was surrounded, seized, his arms bound, and dragged along by his angry-faced captors. He was led past an encampment of rude huts and into & large spreading cave in the moun- tain side. This seemed to be a sort of tem- ple of the savages, for it was hung| with skins upon which was daubed in | crude colors the picture of a four- | headed idol. There was a stone pfl-| lar in the center of the cavern, and to this Ronald was securely tied. He noted that overhead an open space ran up like a natural funnel, and about the post he fancied he dis- covered ashes as if this was the spot where the natives offered up their prisoners and enemies as human sacri- fices. His captors squatted in a circle and Jabbered away at a furious rate. They made menacing motions toward him, and Ronald could readily discern that ! they were discussing his fate. Finally after several hours’ delib- eration they appeared to arrive at a definite conclusion. Most of them went away, leaving two of their mem- bers to pile up firewood about the post. “It's good-by Nellie! sure,” dolefully ruminated Ronald, “and Mr. Reeves will never know what has happened to me." It grew dusk, and some lighted torches were placed around. The! natives came back in solemn proces- PRETTY FINISH FOR BLOUSE Many Good Ideas Which the Clever Woman Will Find May Readily Be Adapted. The collarless blouse is still supreme in its sway, and new ways and means of suitably finishing it are constantly being devised. The accompaniment of sleeve bands or cuffs, while generally considered, have this season jumped into decided popularity, and an end- less array of new ideas in sets is shown in all the shops made up in stifly tailored designs and in the sheer, drooping effects which, when Distinctive Neckwear for the Fall. properly adjusted, express a careless grace combined with a certain preci- slon—a most satisfactory partnership. In the sketch are depicted a few of the newest models. The central collar and the cuff shown just below it make a set in sheerest batiste with hemstitched edges and tiny embroid- ered flowers as a trimming and a black satin ribbon run through the cuff and around the neck. The set to the left j of this is in firm white linen, with a finished edge cut out in tiny saw teeth, The right-hand set is in handker chief linen, with a simple embroidered border design, while the separate col lar just below is one of the new stift “stock” collars in starched linen with a black taffeta stock.

When they reached their destination, however, the guide was taken with a fever, refused to re- main with them, and started back slone for his home settlement. “It's wonderful,” announced Reeves, one morning a week later. “Those English speculators knew what they were talking about when they sent us out here.

Suddenly he strained his gaze. Away back in the gloom of the cave he noted a quick sparkle of light. This grew to a sudden blinding radiance. A rushing whirlwind form, emitting a thousand dazzling sparks of fire ap- proached. It must have been a weird and thrilling sight for the natives. To their unaccustomed eyes an angry “fire god” was bearing down upon them. All over the onrushing figure there were spouts of blinding fire. They turned and fled to a mam “Quick, now, and follow!” shouted the fire god to Ronald, cutting his bonds and leading back the way he had come. “Those sparklers,” explained Reeves victim.

What Is the “Absolute Zero*” Two hundred and seventy desm-. delow zero has, from theoretical con- siderations, been known to be the tem- perature at whith all molecular mo- tion ceases—in other words, it is the! temperature which a body will have! when every particle of its heat is ab- stracted. The rate at which the pres- sure of a gas decreases as it is cooled ghows us that the pressure should van- ish entirely if the gas were cooled to a temperature of 273 degrees below zero. Now the pressure is due to the molecular motion which we call hut,' and if this motion ceases it moqn‘ that we have removed all of the heat; in other words, we have brought the gas to the lowest possible temper- ature, On this account it has been called the absolute zero, and scien- tific investigators have been struggling for many years to reach this ultimate goal, for it has been a practical cer~ tainty that many of the properties ot matter at ordinary temperatures will disappear, or become profoundly modi- fied, at the bottom of the scale of tem- perature.—Prof. R.

Sometimes a bishop sleeve i8 | used—one full above the wrist, gath- ered into a little wristband. Some- times, too, of course, the kimono ar- rangement of the bodice is followed.
