THE GENERAL •TN0S»8I8.-Th« time fer tha lata '60s ©Nearly '70a and the scenk a •teamfeMLt on the Mississippi river. All iHr types of the period are present and the floating palace is distinguished by merriment, dancing and gallantry. There are the customary drinking and gambling, also. Virgil Drace, a young northern man, is on his way south on a mission of revenge. He meets an eo entric character In the person of on« Liberty Shottle, who is constantly tempting the goddess of chance. They agre« to a singular pact. Drace, seeing an opportunity to use Shottle, confides to him that his mission U to And a certain exguerrilSa, Stepho la Vitte, who had murdered Orace'e father. It is his determination to hang La. Vitta as high as Haman. Dr&ce falls In love with a striking young beauty on the boat The steamer reaches New Orleans, at that time in the nomewliat turbulent throes of carpetbag government. The young men attend the French ball and Drace unexpectedly meets the girl. She is accompanied by one Boyce, apparently her fiance. Shottle learns that the name of the girl Is Nadine la Vitte. Drace passes an uneasy night torn by the suspicion that Nadine Is the daughter of old Stepho la Vitte, now an admitted outlaw. Now, more than ever, is he resolved to find where the girl lives and to find Stepho. Drace and Shottle begin a search of the city. Drace takes a hand In a carpetbagger riot. He catches a glimpse of one he Is sure is Nadine. Drace and Shottle get into bad standing with the authorities, and are given until the next day to board a steamer bound north. Returning to the house where he thought he had glimpsed the girl, Drace finds the place abandoned, Shottle discovers that a case of wine on the steamer la addressed to Stepho la Vitte at Farnum's Landing. Mississippi, It is the next stop below Bethpage'g Landing and General Bethpage is Liberty Shottie's uncle. They decide to visit him. Liberty goes broke again and •wears off again on betting.

Luck at ^j^'^lfrst cajoled him, let him swell the fifty "he had obtained to near five X' • fcundred, but a yellow-looking swab of tvhlskers entangled with him and ? "leeched him down to twenty-five. pottle looked at him, his caterpillar j.' Eyebrows, heard his slight backing i \ cough, his request for a glass of Ice- %ater, and said to himself; ^ > •»' i* "One of these days I may have a I"* t) chance to set Are to you as I would t* -Jt any other patch of dead grass." ' v* Slowly and with an economy painful $ tor him to practice, Shottle with many * tips and downs built up again toward |wo hundred; but at length in the afts *Huoon an old citizen who sat high ^v;v*nd who looked like a steer, hooked t Jiim and horned him broke, j * Shottle came stumbling over the doorsill and found Drace In eonver- |; eatton with Major Pewitt and William ^ Hawkins. With a wink the Majo» enjoined a humorous silence, and aiuteiy they sat attendant oo thfe loser's mood. Shottle sat down, took out • card, wrote on it, put It back Into Ills pocket, tapped his teeth with the . pencil and spoke: "1 have Just written a resolve, and Whenever I do, it becomes r law of my .f>elng. It has Just been enacted and recorded that never again on this earth am I to bet another cent. I may go to houses where there are card parties, but never again am I to shuffle a deck My career as a fool Is ended . . Who was It that wrote, 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again'? A prlssentence would be too good for the f,: i hatcher of such a fallacy. If at first | you find you're wrodfc, quit That's my course for the future." "I congratulate ySu. But what ae4 |*t jrou going to#do?" Drace Inquired. I/V, "I wHl drag a surveyor's chain apd t ' Mqulnt at the landscape. I'll lug a tripod «»t a raw turnip in the wind. jA"' Or, if compelled to be humbler. I can |E:V . curry horses." Igl^ "And bet some fellow that you'll have your homes curried first," s. , :;1 the Major. > With h,s Shottle slowly tapped bis teeth. ^ "*** «!««« 0* cold water gen- ' *rally comes from coe as much af- % dieted as yourself. Ftyt no matter ^ . Cold water chills, but at the same time •1K -1 it > loggod his way, his neck stretched out, "Yonder comes Unci* Howard, the General," he said." ^ Hi- Toward them, with a slow Trot Arm and emphatic step, came a tall, spare, erect old gentleman; and as he drew nearer, Drace saw that he wore a mustache and whiskers trimmed neatly down to a sharp point. The soldier within him predominated, the professional soldier, who Is often gentler and more kindly than the volunteer. Shottle hailed him, and he quickened his pace. "Well, well, Liberty Shottle! Welcome, sir. and your friend--" "Uncle, this Is Virgil Drace, ray best friend." The old man straightened, held out both his hands and made Liberty's friend welco'me most hospitably. Now they walked toward the house, the General with his hand on Drace's arm. Oyer the yard fence poured a stream of hounds, and an old 'possumdog "barked up" Shottle as If he had treed. The double hnlhvay doors stood open. The General conducted Drace Into the library, a room that looked big enough for a tennis, court. Then he hastily withdrew, and Shottle, spoke: "Gone to find Aunt Tyde. You'll like her. No hickory tree sap Is any sweeter than her disposition. She was a Shottle, my father's young sister. She's young, as I told yo*. And die tit cleanses. And from this tlme on. {gentlemen, Liberty Shottle. the vague and unreal, will become the obvious and the actual. If I had a thousand dollars right now, I wouldn't bet that the sun win rise tomorrow. Oh, there Is such a thing as Redemption." CHAPTER VL 'S iAlwrt tour o'clock in the Bumbl#bee passed Farnum's Land > tag, and later touched at Bethpage gfe Landing. From the crest of the high embankment was an endless view of ^ spreading cane fields. The General s rfcouse stood in the midst of old trees " ^,|«#ar half a mile from the river. Lend. the landing was a road In the jy•" ^ .< perpetual shade of low.branchlng live L; ' aafcs. Along the road wild popples |f;K >;*%lMed in patches of sunlight, and In St.I' shade glowed the color of darker Mead. In damps of feathery grasses M' while from everywhere I' ^ earn* the l« and drowsy murmur of & • ' . thi» cane. Drace was enrhunted with the «cene, the aWet* air. Reside him ' Shottle -1 ,mm ths Truth. Did.Uber*Ue to Me V loqks yotmger now than when Hlhe married. Did you ever notice that when a young woman marries an old fellow, she always tries to look younger? Here they are." Present|y the great plantation bell on a tower In the yard rang time for the evening meal. The General arose, and bowing to his wife, gracefully offered her his arm. To Drace it was a pretty ceremonial, and he contrasted it with the more brusque customs of everyday life In the North. When an opportunity offered, Drace Inquired of the General, as casually as Itosslble, if he knew anything of an old fellow named Stepho la Vitte, who was reputed to live somewhere in the vldnlty. The General seemed somewhat surprised at the Inquiry. "Yes," he said, "I know something of him. And I believe there are rumors that he Is sometimes seen across the River near here. During the war he was a guerrilla and cast much blame on the Confederacy. I met him once, after the war--near your father's house, my dear. My mules were "tired, and I had halted In the shad? to let them rest, when up came two men; one put his hand on the wheel of my buggy and. said that my mules were his--that they had been stolen from him. I laughed, but meantime I had the muzzle of a pistol between his eyes. He didn't flinch nor wink. He looked at me and said that he may have made a mistake. I told him I thought he had. Then, taking his hand off my wheel, he bowed himself back and sajd that he would see me again, to apologize. But I haven't seen him since." In the evening how still and sweet was the air! From the quarters came the weird drone of the negro's chant, for the hnbit of the slave had not fallen with his chain. In the parlor Aunt Tyde sang, in this housefi custom to be dreaded hF the learned ear; hut Drace's ear was not learned; Shottle's was as an oyster-shell clapped to his bead; and In music the General coulg not distinguish intention from accomplishment. It was a soug of love, "Mast Thou No Feeling to See Me Kneeling?" and when its last note had found a dark corner wherein to die, Drace requested her to sing It again. She gave him a grateful look; the General smiled at htm; and as the song began agahi to mourn Its way, Shottle said to himself: "If Providence will lend virtue to a scheme, that Will cost you money, Virgil. Came here to rest After going through more than Stonewall Jackson could stand, and this Is what I get! Oh, it's respectable and ought t« be endured, and so is a casket lined with satin, but It doesn't suit me. Lord, but this atmosphere Is unsympathetlc!" If you have patience to wait, bedtime always comes; history Is strewn with bedtime. It came slow-footed for Shottle, but quickly enough for Drace, with his nerves of steel wire. And how delighted he was with his room, n museum of antiquity, a great fourposter bedstead with a canopy heavy enough to have served, as deadfall to some medieval giant. A chair that looked like the oaken throne of an ancient Briton, a wardrobe wherein Cluebeard might have hanged his wives, a rough-hewn mantelpiece remindful of a beetling cliff--these weine featured In the light of a hanging Tamp big enough to turn \ the ashes of a cremated dragon. / The night was warm, and through the windows the air came cool and lulling from the Gulf; but Drace lay until daybreak before he slept, and when he awoke the noontime bell was ringing. A negro knocked to tell him that dinner was ready. The General and Tycle were seated, but Shottle was not at the table with themand following Drace's look of inquiry, came explanation from the General: "I gave him the five hundred dollars that he was to put In with "the five hundred furnished by you to be Invested Inltlatively in that cotton-bagging, factory at Vicksburg; and he topk an early boat for that dty. I think It is a fortunate thing for the South that they discovered a wild plant, a sort of Jute, really better for making ropes and bagging than either flax or hemp. I had seen nothing about the discovery, but I am not a very close reader of the newspapers. But Shottle assures me that this wild jute can be grown on the poorest land and that it needs ho tending. I am naturally cautious, Virgil, and I did not myself Invest, but hacking your judgment in the matter, I loaned Liberty five hundred. When do you expect active operations toward building the factory?" Tyde forestalled Drace's answer: "Oh, I am sure It will succeed, and It ifclll be a great thing, especially for Liberty. He has tried so hard, but somehow his energies haven't been properly directed. And be Is so capable !" "i.-- • She was so confident, and so hopeful for her luckless kinsman, that Drace played protecting villain to Shottle's purposes. s, "Well, I don't know exactly when they are to begin work, but soon,' I trust" She gave him a grateful look for his trust, now perfectly assured of Shottie's useful future. But the General did not appear to be easy In his mind, and a little later when he and Drace ,were walking about the yard, beneath the trees, he referred again to the Investment. Drace would have shuffled away from It, but the old gentleman cornered him with a question: "I want th« tfuth. Dii| Liberty 11« to me?" " » "Yes, sir. he did." "I begin to think so the moment he left me. Well, It is a singular thfng, that when he Is with me, I believe in him, but the moment he is gone my faith has gone with him. I have had much experience with men. Mr. Drace, In the army and elsewhere, but my wife's nephew Is the most--I don't know how to deflne him. Let me thank you for protecting him In the presence of my wife, dhd I regret that I may have seemed in doubt. But Drace, that fellow makes me angry with myself. Confound him, he almost convinces me at times tAat I have no stability of character. And yet I am fond of him. I am always glad to see him come. And let me say that he Illustrates one truth very clearly--that ability consists mostly In the fervor with which we go at a thing. I suppose he has cost you considerable." "Monsieur, how foolish to cornel If you do not go now, in a short time you will die." (TO BB CONTINUED.) ANCHORS OF MANY PATTERNS Anything Sufficiently Weighty Used Before the Invention of Modern Article With Flukes. The Brltannlca describes the author as "an instrument of Iron or other heavy material used for holding ships or bnftts In any locality required, and preventing them from drifting hy winds, tides, currents or other causes. This is done by the anchor (after It is let go from the ship by means o# the cable) fixing itself in the ground and there holding the vessel fast. • • • The most ancient anchors consisted of large stones, baskets full of stones, sacks filled with sand, or logs of wood leaded with lead. Of this kind were Devilfish After Capture Are Kept Aliva in Salt Water to 8upply Win- 1"j ter Oemand AraeiVg J*wlf>pu,vy,| Coast Japanese. . Sunrise Beach, Wash.--Dragged from his rowboat by a giant devilfish which he had speared, Albert Gurness lost his ll{e while several companion fishermen felt, the searching tentacles of the big fish. • The devilfish seasoii is at Its height in the narrows off Gig Harbor, in this part of Puget sound, and fishermen declare the daily catch is remarkable for the size of the octopuses. About^ 40 grisszled vetsrane in open trawls are busy haulicg in the traps and taking out the devilfish. The devilfish, after cdpture, are imprisoned in large tanks of sea water and kept alive to supply the winter demand among the Pacific coast Japanese. There is an element of danger connected. with this kind of fishing that lends spice to the work. Most of the devilfish caught will weigh around SO to 40 pounds and vary in the spread of their tentacles from four to eight feet. This winter, however, fishermen have brought in extra large octopuses. The one which dragged Garness from the trawl measured 15 to 20 feet across the spread of legs. Prosaic Occupation. Catching the devilfish is a prosaic occupation. In fact, the flsh catch themselves. . The traps, spaced to the depth of water from five to fifty fathoms, are fastened to long lines laid on the bottom. Some stretch out 10 miles into the attend, the average being three to four miles. The trap resembles a small, loosely built barrel, which Is open at one end and baited with clams. After the fish has entered and devoured the clams, it generally reclines In a tightly drawn bundle to enjoy perfect digestion. Fishermen in trawls and dories row over the trapping area to haul up the snares. The devilfish remains in the secluded shelter from sheer laziness, until exposed to the air. Then there is a sudden which, according to Apollonlus Rho<|t lus and Stephen of Byzantium, were V rmed of siune; and Atlicnaeus states that they were sometimes made of wood. Such anchors held the vessel merely by their weight and by the friction along the bottom. Iron was ufterward introduced for the construction of anchors, and an improvement was made by forming them with teeth or 'flukes' to fasten themselves into the bottom. • • • The Invention of the teeth Is ascribed by Pliny to the Tuscans, but Pausnnias gives the credit to Midas, king of Phrygla." , 1*. * J£0- •it v" fil •*Dragged Frwn Hte Boat. !(. to life and the wiggling long tentacles Is threatening. *The octopus is immediately speared, but many are tenacloua enough to fight many minutes. i Octopus meat Is worth 25 eents a pound on the northwestern market.

The finish, the completion, the end and ambition of every'gown, cloak and hat seeins to be some bright spot of ribbon. It may be only a touch, a whole patch or a section composed of ribbons. But ribbons there are in quantity. Why It has never occurred to designers in such numbers to use ribbon as decorative material for oostumes in general is a mystery. Once they started on the ribbon way, the path seemed simple and straight. It developed as It was pursued with astonishing activity. Ribbons bloomed upon frocks with more and more beauty, and finally tbey have come to be almost a necessity.K . Ribbons are used for trim mine, for edging, for fadngs. They aire used to finish the making of a gown. In some instances they almost constitute a frock, for the foundation is so unimportant and plain that when the ribbons are added they become the whole spirit of the frock. On the 8treet' Dreati. A street dress shows a series of loops Of narrow ribbon strung all th» way down the side of the skirt, where it opens to allow, one to let one's self into the gowjt This succession of loops wends its way down that side of the skirt where the dress opens and at the same time creates a ^ection of trimming which, were it absent, would limit the effect the gown was destined to create. After that, the wholfe of the way round the gown Is bound with the same ribbon, and the whole effect is one of studied design which is meant to place the frock in the fore ranks of fashion as one of the leading characters in the drama of'style. The hat worn with this costume Js an illustration of the way that ribbon can be used for a little turban. It is drawn tightly about the head and shapes Itself to the contour of the face. Then it is ended by a bow that sags down over one side of the bead and touches the neckline. The hat is made of two tones of gr^y taffeta ribbon and tile bow hangs down to the grayness of the costume, which is made of a combination of duvetine in light gray and ribbon bow appliques of a darker shade of gray corresponding with the darkest tone used In the making of the hat. The shoes worn with this costume are made of gray suede and worn 'with a darker tone of srrav sfncklnsrs that blend with rhe whole makeup of the costume In the most salubrious manner. K All sorts of accessories Include bon in either Its wide or Its narrow sense. These are the rabochons of brilliantly colored roses which adorn the waist lines of evening dresses and have long streamers of the narrow ribbons: bons. There are the ribbon rose bands which reach over the shoulders and constitute In some c»w»« the only trimming of a gown. There are thfc ribbon girdles applied sometimes to the afternoon gown of duvetine, with little garlands of ribbon roses which reach the hem of the skirt There are ribbon rosettes used for the adornment of waistlines of evening and afternoon gowns, and there are1 the streamers that fly from them as the trimming for the skirts of evening dresses which,* without them, would not register in fhe forum of fashion to any great degree. Blouses Made of Ribbon. - i There Are whole blouses made of Hbbons, and others which use ribbon alone as their trimming, conforming the color and the weave of the ribbon to the material. There is a blouse made of taupe crepe de chine and trimmed with bars of ribbon formed from* two tones of taupe grosgrain ribbon. One piece Is turned under the other piece until the arrangement forms a blockwork of differing tones Of the same color, and, In the end, there Is an edging which provides a trimming varying enough from the surface of the silk to set it off. In other words, the trimming and the material of the blouse blend together to form a, harmonious whole, which Is highly effective when combined with the skirt of a suit, or a costume suit, no matter how they may be gathered together. There are dresses made entirely of ribbon. Some of these are sewn together from wide strips of brocaded or plain gibbons, and others use a portion of tulle to make up the foundation which happens to have ribbon for an accessory. There is a frock, for instance, which has a full tullo skirt of green made in many layers. One shade Is superimposed upon another, and the whole makes a subtle bit of coloring accentuated by the band of wide gold and green brocaded ribbon which goes to make up {he bodice arrangement.

" • -. * • . Color has everything to do with modern fashions. Without it there is no daim to style or attract!«enegs. Often the strip of ribbon added to a gown will help to givtf that touch of colorful ness without which the frock would count as nothing. Under the end of a broad sleeve there can be applied foi edging the slightest bit of ribbon, and a strain of color wiy«b^ added to keep the whole gown in tone. The absence of that same bit of ribbon would serve to throw back the gown Into obscurity, with no right to class itself among the present colorful elements of style. Ribbons are used for streamers and for bows and sashes, and, twisted they are used for girdles. They are gathered together in different colore or they are used In one color only and In varying widths. But In every in stance everything has been done tc bring the» lnto tbe~ltere rank of fash. I o n s . ' " : . . ? it, } Ribbons Used for Linings fttftihrins are nsed in the most remarkable ways for linings. In some Instances they are held together to form the whole lining of an evening wrap. The wrap Itself may be of the least colorful of velvet--a dull purple or a dark blue or a red that Is very dark. The lining discloses brilliance. There is possibly a brocaded ribbon with atl the colors of the rainbow Little rtbbbns are usfed for ff»e"edgings of chiffon linings. They are held around the' edges of the coat and tucked into the Interstices of the lining so that they will show the divergencf of the line and the places where th< fullness of the lining happens to tak« on a new expression for itself. All around the edges of a blue and silver chiffon lining for s black l.vn* A Mild GOOD OGARETT made to form the lining of the dark- wrap there was fastened a tiny ribbot er velvet wrap. And then, possibly, there Is a collar, which Is made of the same material as the lining and which forms a brilliant frame about the face. There was one evening wrap of ermine lined with silver ribbon alternated with black. The silver was as wide as four or five Inches, and the black waB not more than an Inch or two, but the two were fastened together so that they formed a series of stripes running up and down on the lining, forming the reverse side of a handsofne wrap that only carried nil the feeling of the design by showing Its not more than a quarter of an Inch In width. It was black as to Its background, and there was woven Into thf narrowness of Its surface a little blue green conventionalized figure tha' helped to set off the weave of the ribbon. All the way around the edge this narrow ribbon toqk Its way, thet traced a line between the deep shlrrec yoke of the lining and the skirt section of the wrap. At Intervals, ever in the skirt, there were section* oj the ribbon Inset to show how Intrl cutely the fullness of the ribbon wat handled. In the end. the ribbon, as It lining against the clear whiteness of j was placed, became the most Interest' the ermine that formed the outside. tag feature of the lining. THE BLENDING OF SEVERAL HUES Differ*tit Fabrics and Different Colore Mingle in Way to Cause Inter- ^ acting Study. «** /» effect of various f^brfra ttpon different colors Is an Interesting study snd a point that must be considered In blending several hues. Velvet of fine quality, for example, seems to have a sort of undertone of sliver, due to the way in which the tiny threads of silky nap catch and reflect the light. It therefore lightens a quiet shade, flke one of th« unobtrusive tones of brown, and glv>s it a life and sparkle that the same shade would lack In a dull finished fabric snch as serge. On the other hand. , Bioused Coat. Bloused coats are very smart; with the band low on the hips. Contrary to what one would expect, these are very becoming to ,the slightly stout figure and |l«e M (iluatpa af slsnderness. velvet has the powe. of eoftentng arid toning down some of the harder col ors, such as bright blue or magenta SO that they seem softer and raorf gracious. This flattering quality oi velvet makes It helpYul to the figure that Is a shade too tall no less thar to the one that Is confessedly rotund It mitigates the angles of the too slender woman and conceals equal!} well the extra weight of her sister. «+ MAN'S BEST AGE A man is as old as hia organs; can be as vigorous and healthy 70 Ssat3$ ift)t«ai<lshisorgMis perfbrmingtheir fuoctkms. % Kee] your vital organs healthy wii LTHROP'8 HAAR&.KM OIL The world's standard remedy for lddneKk"': liver, bladder and uric add troubSi^ !' •ince 1696; corrects disorders, stimulates vital organs.
