He proceeded to select some bank bills. A sharp, sudden sound from the street distracted his attention. “What's that?" he challenged. “Ha!"” ejaculated the Yuma. They all rushed to the window. Bang! bang!—a piercing series of blood-curdling yells, a flying human terror mounted on a mettled mustang —Iztu broke loose, on a rampage, and At the real lztu, a devastating Tartar, and then at the bland, peace- ful counterfeit lztu, Haines stared, agape. “I vum!" gasped the squire, breath- lessly. “Cured!"” on. “Bruder—my bruder, Iztu,” ex- plained Orvu, artlessly, pointing after ihe vanishing human cyclone on horse- back.

He was walking along the street with a new snow shovel on his shoul- der when he met an acquaintance who asked: “Why, Mr. Baron, you can't be look- ing for snow this week?” “No sir, not this week,” was the re- ply. “Nor yet this month?” “No, not hardly.” “I should say it would be two months before you would have need | of that shovel.” “Yes, about two months.” “But you got it at a bargain, per- | haps?” | “No, si | ten cents of time “If 1 give my wife time in which to | | et used to the sight of it, there won't | udden shock when she comes no bargain.

Here a wide ruff, like the body of the cape, makes an attractive finish and a protection | for the throat at the same time. The | plaiting for the ruff is graduated in width, growing narrower from the sides toward the front. But it is suffi- ciently wide to enfold the back of the head, the ears and the throat when | the cape is fastened in the front. A long silk-covered cord extends about the base of the ruff, terminating | in two cabochons (made of the cord), | one at each side. Long ends termi- nating in heavy silk tassels fall from the center of each of these silk orna- ments. A narrow ruching made of satin like that in the lining outlines the hem on the inside of the cape all around. It is a dainty finish, handmade and elegant. This is one of the longest of capes and one of the few intended solely for evening or other dressy wear. The cipe, which occupied the cen- ter of the stage as the newest and most chic of wraps at the beginning of the season, did not capture the popular fancy, but was admired by a! discriminating following among those who follow radical new departures in fashions. The cape has been ‘catured in com- binations with other wraps, where it is usually short and suggests the cape of the cavalier type. Its best and most attractive development as a gar- | ment for protection is portrayed in | the picture given here, where it is shown as a rich and graceful evening wrap. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Velvet Dresses With Tunics. Although many dress skirts are in circular cut, this is rarely the case with velvet dresses, as the long tunic is especially good in velvet, says the Drygoods Economist. These long overskirts, as they may be called, re- quire weight in the cloth to make them hang gracefully, and are, there- fore, an attractive style for velvet. Circular skirts are very apt to hang unevenly in velvet, as the weight of the cloth drags down the skirt at the sides. Spring Colors. Among the colors for spring are putty, greenish tans and grays, old tapestry blues and dark shades gener- ally. Dainty Dress Accessories EVERY woman likes to possess pret: ty and dainty accessories of dress, no matter how fragile and short-lived their glory and freshness may be. Here are three of the new things that have considerable durability to their credit and are indisputably attractive, and therefore popular. At the left is a corset cover of pale pink crepe de chine and shadow lace with shoulder straps and decorative flowers of satin ribbon. The same mod- el may be bought in any of the light shades and in white, at so modest a price that almost anyone may gratify a taste for “just pretty things” by buying it. A little can be saved by making it at home, when the price will be something less than a dollar for the material. In making such small garments there is a saving usually in making two at one time. The width of the silk and lace is sufficient when the length required is purchased to make two corset covers like that shown adjust the garment to the figure. At the right is a neckband of velvet ribbon bordered with knife-plaited lace and fastened with hook and eye un- | | I | | der a ribbon rose set in millinery foli-' age.

Wide flouncing, with a very narrow ; design along the edge, is one of the peculiarities of this year's laces.

In the foreground was a green and fertile valley through which trick- led a silver stream. Helen Madison, sitting on her sturdv little pony, climbed to the top of Eugle hill and looked down into the valley, looked across the valley, looked everywhere save into the face of the strong, brown young man who was waiting for her to speak. “Helen,” he said at . and his “Yes?” his. She turned a cold face te There was no fire in her dark eyes, no love—nothing. Save, per- ': haps, disdain and indifference. § LAKELAND '3 “You have not forgiven me?” he |G %z, AU 3O asked slowly.
