Hazel Biggs and Alma Seelye were sitting on the two cots in

Hazel nodded.

Cricket said‘ hesitantly, "Several latter; to you came from him."

"Whntwlld you do with them?" asked the other girl carelessly.

“Sent them back with ‘address unknown‘ on them. That's what you wanted,’ isn't it? You said you didn't want him to know your address." _

"Well, he found it.”

"He did?" .

"Somebody did. Do you know what a solicitor is?"

"In s, general way"

"The Maules or Mnuldens or whatever they are, keep a tame one. He's been writing me."

"What about? Nothing's happen- sd lo Chris, has there? I‘ likod Chris."

"You can have him. The solici- tor wanted to know my price."

‘Tor what?"

"Letting Chris off, as near as I Inn make out." ‘

"Oh. Hazel! Nol"

"Very high-minded and noble. The solicitor explained that .whlle I had no legal claim on Chris, the principles of the Mauldcm pre- scribed an honorable‘ settlement in such cases-I think that's the way he put it-and would I be good enough to advise him as to what I would consider proper.‘ I won- der what he thinks I aml I didn't writs him much. but I gave-him a message for Chris that ought to burn off a couple of his ears."

Finally he sat down on i. huge fal-

ings, but the next moment he sprang to his feet, _hls ears wide open. ‘ . x

A lhort distance away he,dls- tinctly heard the sound of footsteps and the snapping of dry twigs as they were ‘being trodden upon by the feet of the advancing animal. Fearing it was a bear, Smith climb- ed the nearest suitable tree and settled his two-hundred-pound bulk across a couple of stout limbs. No sooner had he reached his hiding place than the sound died away. leaving a deadly silence that was unbroken even by a breath _of wind.

But Smith was a canny fellow, a‘ man of careful habits. He_'vvas cer- tain in his own mind that beneath the tree old Bruin lay waiting for him to descend, then would gulp him down for supper.

All night he remained in the tree; all night he listened to the furious beating of his ownhesrt; ‘l! night he listened, afraid even o breathe, fancylng the hungry bear might take it upon himself to come up for the meal which was not com- ing down. ..

O O

Alter what seemed like an etern- ity, the night gradually gave wny to dawn and Smith, regaining his confidence, began to descend.

When his feet struck the earth he cautiously looked around before striking off. All about him was as silent as the grave, and he fancied his enemy must have grown tired of waiting and had slunk off some- time during thelong, long night.

Before his stiff limbs had moved a dozen feet his neighbor, Donald Craig,' came sliding down another tree not twentyfyards distant. ‘The

two men co ared notes. Craig had made-exact the same mistake as did Smith.

Referring to the inclden‘ after- ward, they always endedtheir story with: ~ ' “Spending the night in a couple of trees wasn't so good; but when we ‘escended and recognized each other. sure we had the hens-fleet laugh of our lives."

The next story: "Wizard's Cave At Trncndie."

asked her friend anxiously.

"AN You over Clay Thurston?"

Cricket winced. "That's differ- ent."

"1'm over mine enough so that I can got along if I don't let my- self think!" Hm- eyes became strained and distant; the deep violet seemed to dim. “I think I've forgotten how\to laugh," she mut- tered.

"Oh, Hazel! Is it as bad as that?"

"It isn't going to be." Her voice hardened. "I'm going to make my life what I've always meant it to be. Chris was an interruption. Cricket, I'll make a bargain with you. I'll forget Chris and you for- get Clay. They're no good for us." t Thereafter Hazel immuned hu- self in a cold petrifnction of sil- ence. To any casual. mention of Chris Mauls she wesented a tart indifference. Cricket knew her friend; when she was through, aha was through.

As always. Hazel did/her work competently. But the keen per-

csptiveness of Miss Bliss noted the change in her. The preceptresli said to Cricket.

"Hazel Blggs isn't the aims. I don't believe she's happy."

"I'm afraid she isn't."

“Is it that iunnv Englishman?”

She would have seen to lt-a cir- cumstance which they in their very busy-noes must have over-looked. Truthfully we have not listened to the story of the happening, at least not altogether. But while our farmers were in the course of set- ting the threshing gear, and had just attached the belt from the en- gine-pulley to that on the drum of the machine, and all was grinding to a start, there came a sudden streak from the bqyvels of the lat- ter and a thud against the barn- wall . . and our respected old tiger-cat was no more. "Gruesome?" Rob said. “not at all. There wasn't a mark on him. It must have been the impacl.—ihrown with such force you see, that's what ended his ca- reer.

O O ‘,0’ 1i. any event, the tiger-cat is gone —n_evermore to entertain the chil- dren and ourselves, by sitting up dnintlly begging for warm streams of milk, of u morning or evening. Gone from old haunts of years-the stables and sunny corners about barns and vcsﬂﬂdahl. Gone too from stalking rats and mice. We have our own regrets; we might have been kinder to hlm-—sven this morning when he displayed a pink tongue in a cute begging gesture. which was denied all too soon. I-lie demise is evidently on James‘ mind now as he sits toasting his feet by the fire. "Could it be. Ellen. that he was so interested in catching a mouse in the machine that he didn't hear it start?

The spring skirt length generally was about 15 inches above the floor. a more flattering length to most women. g ’

Sophie's suits are divided into ‘two types. One group features tight-fitting skirts with wrist-length tunics that flare from small curved waistllnes. The second group em- phasizes short jackets with flared or back-pleated skirts.

Hand-crocheted taffeta and tie- silk blouses were worn with the suits. Many of the jackets were lined with matching material.

Dress skirts were fuller, ranging from afternoon dresses with a sin- gle inverted pleat to portrait full- nesa for evening wear. One feature was a slender hlnline achieved on an intricate cut, Many of the thin- ner fabrics are lined with taffeta to hold this ﬂattering effect.

Neckllnes vary from the "peek-a- boo" V-neck to the wide batteau. Some of the dresses had sheaf in- sets forming the back and upper part of the bodice. tying with n small bow at s neck. .

Coats had th same graceful skirt 'llnas as the dresses. One. of silk and wool, had s double row. of but- tons down the front and a new larger, flat-lying collar. Another. of midnight blue chinchilla, was belt- ed in tho back. It had a softly fold- sd collar and "nest" pockets.

Several evening gowns were pro- sented st the same length as the day lothsl. ‘Both the slender sll- houa ts snd=ths_ wide-skirted one

SAYS I929 SKIRT DUB . , FOR REVIVAL

The handkerchief skirt of 1929- 30 is due for a revival according to Arthur Banks, London designer. The skirt was featured in an eve- ning gown shown recently in Lon- don. The gown was fashioned with a long bodice fitted to below the hips, with the skirt made of layers of fulle, each layer cut into a ser- ies of handkerchief points. Accord- ing to Mr. Banks. the skirt is nec- essary to show off tinted nylon stockings. In nearly every dress collection shown this year in Lon- don, the skirts were slashed in some way to i-‘eveal the stockings.
