There's a schooner outfittiu' for Sibeery two years' cruise. Me an' Dex is fifrerin on gettln out toward the frontier fer a Ppell." "Surel" said Dextry. "I'm beg'nnln' to feel all cramped up hereabouts owin' to these flllynionnrch orchestras an' French restarawnts and such discrepancies of scenery. They're puttin' a pavement on Front street, and there's a shoe shluin parlor opened up. Why, I'd like to ff'-t where I could stretch an' holler without disturbin' the pensivends of some dude In a dress suit. Better come along, Hoy; we can sell out the Midas." "I'll think it over," said the young man. The night was bright with a full moon when they left the doctor's office. Roy, in no mood for the exuberance of his companions, parted from them, but had not gune far before Lu met Cherry Malotte. His head was low, and he did not see her till she spoke. "Well, boy, so it's over at last." Her words chimed so perfectly with his thoughts that he replied, "Yes; lt'a all over, little girl." "You don't mind my congratulations you know me too well for that. How does It feel to be a winner?" "I don't know. I've lost." "Lost what?" "Everything except the gold mine." "Everything except I see! You moan that she that you have asked her, and she won't?" He never knew the cost at which she held her voice so steady. "More than that. It's so new that It hurts yet, and it will continue to hurt for a long time, I suppose. But tomorrow I am going back to my hills and my valleys, back to the Midas and my work, and try to begin all over. For a time I've wandered In strange paths, seeking new gods, as it were, but the dazzle has died out of my eyer, and I can see true again. She Isn't for me, although I shall always love her. I'm sorry I can't forget easily, as fcome do. It's hard to look ahead and take an interest in things. But what about you? Where shall you go?" "I don't know. It doesn't really matter now." The dusk hid her white, pet face, and she spoke monotonously. "I am going to see the Bronco Kid. He sent for me. He's ill." "He's not a bad sort," said Roy. "And I suppose he'll make a new start too." "Perhaps." said she, gazing far out over the gloomy ocean. "It all depends." After a moment she added, "What a pity that we can't all sponge off the slate and begin afresh and forgft!" "It's part of the game," said he. "I don't know why it's so. but it is. I'll see you sometimes, won't I?" "No, boy; I think not." "I believe I understand." he mur mured, "and perhaps it's better so." He took her two soft hands in his one good right and kissed them. "God bless you and keep you. dear, brave little Cherry." She stood straight and still as he melted into the shadows, and only the moonlight heard her pitiful sob and her hopeless whisper: "(Joodby, my boy, my boy." He wandered down beside the sea, for his battle was not yet won, and until he was surer of himself lie could not endure the ribaldry and rejoicing of his fellows. A welcome lay waiting for him in every public place, but no one there could know the mockery of it, no one could gauge the, desolation that was his. The sand, wet, packed and hard as a pavement, gave no sound to his careless steps, and thus it was that he came silently upon the one woman as she stood beside the silver surf. Had he seen her first he would have slunk past in the landward shadows, but, recognizing his tall form, she called and he came, while it seemed that his lungs grew suddenly constricted, as though bound about with steel hoops. The very pleasure of her sight pained him. He advanced eagerly, and yet with hesitation, standing stillly aloof while his heart lluttered and his tongue grew dumb. At last she saw his bandages and her manner changed abruptly. Coming closer sue touched them with caressing lingers. "It's nothing nothing at all." he said whik his voice Jumped out of all control. "When are you going away?" "I do not know not for some time." He had supposed she would go tomorrow with her uncle and the other, to be with them through their travail. With warm t impetuosity she began: "It was a noble thing you did today. Oh. I am glad and proud." "I prefer you to think of me in that way. rather than as the wild beast you saw this morning, for I was mad. perfectly mad with hatred and revenge, and every wild impulse that comes to a defeated man. You see, I had played and lost, played and lost, again aud again, till there was nothing left. What mischauce brought you there? It was a terribly brutal thing, but you can't understand." "But I can understand. I do. I know all about it now. I know the wild rage of desperation; I know the exultation of victory; I know what hate and fear are now. You told me oace that the wilderness had made you

a savage, and I laughed at it just as I did when you paid that my contact with big thing would teach me the truth, that we're all alike, and that those motives are In us all. I see now that you were right and I was very simple. I learned a great deal last night." "I have learned much also," said he. I wish you might teach me more." "I I don't think I could teach you any more," she hesitated. lie moved as though to speak, but held back and tore his eyes away from her. "Well?" she inquired, gazing at him covertly. "Once, a long time ago, I read a lover's petition, and ever since knowing you I have made the constant prayer that I might be given the purity to be worthy the good in you and that you might be granted the patience to reach the go;d in me, but It's no use. But at least I'm glad we have met on common ground, as it were, and that you understand, in a measure. The prayer could not be answered: but through it I have found myself and I have known you. That last is worth more than a king's ransom to me. It Is a holy thing which I shall reverence always, and when you go you will leave me lonely except for Its remembrance." "But I am not going," she sail. "That is unless" Something in her voice swept bis gaze back from the shimmering causeway that rippled seaward to the rising moon. It brought the breath into his throat, and he shook as though seized by a great fear. "Unlesswhat?" "Unless you want me to." "Oh, God! don't play with me!" He flung out his hand as though to stop her while his voice died out to a supplicating hoarseness. "I can't stand that." "Don't you see? Won't you see?" she asked. "I was waiting here for

"Don't you see ? Won't you see, my pagan ? " the courage to go to you since you have made it so very hard for me, my pagan." With which she came close to him, looking upward into his face, smiling a little, shrinking a little, yielding yet withholding, while the moonlight made of her eyes two bot tomless, boundless pools, dark with love, ana Primming wita the promise of his dreams. THE END. Telephones and Fires. Tho earliest application of the tele phone in connection with a switch board was made at Bridgeport, Conn. in June, ljxfs, where m the eagerness of various fire companies to arrive first at tires, the men of company No. 5, which was next to the telephone offict told the telephone operator to request Ids twenty-one patrons to give the in formation over the telephone of any nre ana to report the ract at tne en gine house. This engine was not only the first at several fires, but in some mysterious manner was frequently on its way before the alarm struck. This reached a climax on the occasion of a small lire in a dwelling, which the fire company attended with muffled bell, in response to a telephone message, and no fire alarm was pulled. On their return, the engine was driven by the house of a rival company with bell ringing, and when the men rushed out with inquiries they were told that the fire had been extinguished. After this occurrence, the chief of the fire department gave orders that companies should not respond to a fire alarm received over a telephone, bi:t the Insurance agents of the city appealed to the city council, who ordered that all fire engine houses should bo equipped with telephones. Brooklyn Eagle. The Feast of Yule. It was Pope Telesphorus, who died before the year 150 A. P., who instituted Christmas as a festival, though for some time it was Irregularly held In December. April an 1 May. But for centuries before there had been a feast of Yule among the northern nations, whose great enjoyment was i:i drinking the wassail bowl or cup. Nothing gave them so much delight as indulgence in "carousing ale." especially at the season of short davs. when fighting was ended. It was likewise the custom at all their feasts "for the j master of the house to fill a large bowl j or pitcher, to drink out of it first himself and then give to him that sat next, and so It went around." This may have been the origin of that popular American custom known as "treating." Rich Australian Iron Mines. The iron mines of Australia have been officially estimated to contain over 59,000,000 tons of ore.

FASHION FANCIES A tailored street frock Is the first felt want in the province of the autumn wardrobe and for a month past tailors have been busy in meeting this impendingneed. Many women crowd such tailor work into the last days of August in order to take advantage of the reduction in prices which a majority of the. tailors make during the summer months for the sake of keepingtheir work folk through the dull season, and though of course little is actually known in August concerning: the coming vagaries of the modes the conventional tailor frock does not vary so radically and so suddenly from season to s-ason that there is dangrr in ordering such a frock before the last word conc.-rr.ing the season's fashions has been spoken. In recent years the limitations of the IS' verelv plain tailored froeV liav Vi..n more and more emphasized. This item must be included in every woman's outfit, but it will not take the place in that outfit which it would have occupied in earlier years. We have to some extent come around to the French point of view anil on. must have at least two tailor costumes today if one has pretensions to correct dressing. The absolutely severe and somewhat modish frock belongs to morning hours and to afternoon street wear of a most informal kind, while for other street use we have the Parisian version of the tailor made, elaborate, dressy and more sensible than the Parisian model if not so graceful, in that for the average American wo man its skirt Is made of walking length. The tailored trotting frock or morn ing rrock of the season carries out the ideas indicated last spring, and while not startlingly novel has certain pronounced tendencies which are promptly apparent to any student of clothes. In the first place the short coat has been conspicuous bv its absence. Pos sibly we may see new versions of the short tailored coat later in the season for not every woman looks well in the longer coats and there are sensible women who, while bowing to fashion's mandates, insist upon being provided with clothes which are becoming as well as fashionable; but the fact remains that at the present moment the longer coat leads the field. The extremely lo-ng or three-quarter redingote appears to belong chiefly to the elaborate tailored frock, but the motoring coat Is usually of half length and the bolero and pony models are practically unknown. The close fitting coat liked In the spring is an autumn favorite and is shown both in cutaway and straight front models. Cutaway coats, cut low In front to show a waistcoat and fastening with three buttons, are being made by all the fashionable tailors, but the waistcoat introduced in such a coat must conform to the general severity of the costume and may not take on ILLUSTRATED

This is a story of the unlucky opal. The scene is laid in London, the theater of so many charming stories from Dickens down to the present writer. But never was a tale of more amazing originality and absorbing interest spun out of the complex life of the Anglo Saxon metropolis than this. It is essentially a story of mystery. It is the elusive secret of the mysterious brooch with the opal serpent which holds the reader spell bound from beginning to end. Interesting as is the sweet love affair of Paul and Sylvia, the reader almost loses sight of it in the fasci

nation of the serpent, the opal serpent on a brooch, j which left a trail of crime. There is a bright detective far above the average ! in the case but he did not come anywhere near solv- J

ing the mystery. Witness his mournful confession in the end: "Never call me a detective again," he said to Paul, "for I am an ass." But you will not blame the detective much when you have read the story.

the elaborate character of the waistcoat accompanying the visiting gown and carriage gown. French women like for the purpose mannish waistcoats of flannel, serge, &c, such as are worn by the men; and often these waistcoats are fitted and made seperately from the coat, as is a man's. Lees severe and yet not too fussy are plainly tailored waistcoats of striped or checked velvet and good effects are seen in a waistcoat of this type bound or bordered by a fold of cloth matching the coat. Again one sees this plainly made velvet waistcoat bordered by a line of vivid color, which is the only bright note in the costume. For example, we have seen an imported trotting frock in taupe gray cheviot made up in the most severe fashion with cutaway coat, plaited skirt, and no trimming save stitching; but for wear with this was a double brensted waistcoat of striped ; velvet in taupe gray and black, cut j and finished in masculine fashion save j for an inch wide band of apricot broad- j cloth showing inside the V of the neck, j Another French frock of black 1 broadcloth this time had a tailored waistcoat of checked velvet.

Bonnet and Hat Deare different In style, but both of which can be taken apart and laundered without CirF.culty. The hat is made of doited pique, simply scalloped at the edges and held in place by means of lawn ties, while the sunhonnet is made of while lawn, ths brim portion being embroidered in a simple design. Every material that is correct for hats and bonnets of the srt is appro, priate. For the little hat linen, pique- and duck are perhaps the preferred materials, but lawn, with the brim inttrlined. u!si is seen, while for the sunbonnet both whito lawn ar.d crossbarrcd dimity arc liked. The hat is made with crown ar.d brim and with a straight narrow band. The bind is attached to the inner portion of the brim, and to it the buttons are sewed. Buttonholes are worked in th. crown, and the two are buttoned together. The sunbonnet also consists of brim and crown. Tho brim is made plaiu and usually is interlined to provide sutTir ier.t firmness, but the crown is soft and is buttoned to position. The quantity of material required far the hat is three-quarters of a yard 3". inches wide and for the bonnet Cveeighths of a yard 30 lnch.es wide. Ing its most pronounced color is used upon many otherwise plain tailored frocks, especially upon those whose material is of mixed colorings. The stripes so popular during the summer have had an influence upon the manufacturers and there are many stripes among the autumn suitings, but these are chiefly of a somewhat indefinite character in shadow effects or in two or throe tones of one color rather than in strongly contrasted colorings such as have been popular. Even concerning these unobtrusive strlpings there Is considerable discussion in Paris. Many of the most famous dressmakers, wearied of the ubiquitous striped suits of the past season, have turned their backs upon striped suitings and thrown the weight of their influence upon the side of checks, plaids and mixed effects; but, on the other hand, striped models decidedly attractive have been turned out by certain autocrats, and nothing save time can tell what the final decision will be. In the meantime one tone materials and indefinite mixed materials are a safe proposition, and one does not tire ! of them as of more pronounced designs. Broadcloths, of course, are always smart for the tailor frock, though some women object to them for general walking wear because of their propensity for catching dust and showing spots. Certainly they will not stand rough service as will a good cheviot, tweed or serge, but on the other hand nothing shows up good tailoring better than broadcloth. Black is to be much worn for the tailored costume and Is always a fav-

IN MY LADY'S BOUDOIR WASHING THK FACn. "Was probably the first beautifler Eve tried, but, strange to say, there are very few women now who know how to perform this simplest of toilet op erations. The theory that hot water harms the face is all nonsense, if one uses the water properly. The trouble is that women forget the dash of cold afterward, and that Is why the skin becomes flabby and wrinkled. The first thing is to wash the face gently with as hot water as one can stand holding the cloth lightly against the skin till every pore is opened. Then suddenly dash on the Ice cold water, repeating till the flesh tingles. Dry with a soft, fresh towel, not by rubbing, but by ratting till all the moisture is absorbed. Flnnlly, Apply cold, cream, massaging It gently into the skin and allowing It to remain 10 or 15 minutes, while you are completing the rest of your toilet. Then rub off the superfluous cream with an old silk handkerchief and powder lightly. One cannot be too careful about having every article that touches the face immaculately clean, so the silk handkerchief should be washed out and hung in the sun every time It Is used. The same Is true of the wash cloth. t'lirlEiig IOtlns For the hair have been proved a big success by many of the straighthaired sisterhood. The best formulas make the hair fluffy as well as curly.
