Neither spoke, as he went with her Into ttie next car; and at the section where her father sat, Eaton bowed silently, nodded to Avery, who coldly returned his nod, and left her. Eaton went on into his own car and sat down. Ms thoughts In mad -eon fusion. How near he had come to talking to this girl about himself, even though he had felt from the first that that was what she was trying to make him do! Was he losing his common sense? Was the self-command on which he had so counted that he had dared to take this train deserting him? He felt that he roust not see Harriet Dome Again alone: In Avery he had recognized, by that Instinct which so strangely divines the personalities one meets, an enemy from be start; Dome's attitude toward him, of course, was not yet defined; as for Harriet Dorne--he could not tell whether she was prepared to be his enemy or friend. Eaton went into the men's compartment of his car. where he sat smoking till after the train was under way again. The porter looked in upon him there to ask If he wished his berth made up now; Eaton nodded assent, and fifteen minutes later, dropping the cold' end of his cigar and going eat into the car, he found the berth ready for him. A half hour later the passage of someone through the aisle ahd the sudden dimming of the crack Of light which showed above the curtains told him that the lights in the car had been turned down. Eaton dosed his eyes, but sleep was far from him. Presently he bfegan to fed the train beginning to labor with the increasing grade'and the deepening snow. It was nearing the mountains, and the weath- «r was getting colder and the storm more severe. Eaton lifted the curtain from the window beside him and leaned on one elbow to look ont. The trSln was running through a bleak, wftlte desolation; no light and no sign Of * habitation showed anywhere. The Xits of the day ran through his d again with sinister suggestion. He had taken that train for a certain definite, dangerous purpose which re- -quired his remaining as obscure and as Inconspicuous as possible; yet already he had been singled out for at- So far, he was sur^ bad great difficulty In getting the train through. Though he knew by President Jarvis' note that the officials of the road must be watching the progress of this especial train with particular Interesf, he had received no train orders from the west for sev* eral hours. His inquiry at ^the last stop had lold him the reason for this; the telegraph wires to the west had gone down. To the east communication was still open, but how long It would remain so he could not guess. Here In the deep heart of the great mountains--they had passed the Idaho boundary line Into Montana--they were getting the till effect of the storm; their progress, increasingly slow, was broken by stops which were becoming frequent and longer as they struggled on. * At Fraoroft--the station where he was to exchange the ordinary plow which so far had sufficed, and couple on the "rotary" to fight the mountain drifts ahead--Connery swung himself down from the train, looked In at the telegraph office and then went forward to the two giant locomotives, on whose sweating, monstrous baefcs the snow, suddenly visible in the haze of their lights, melted as it fell. As they started, be swung aboard and in thi brightly lighted men's compartment of the first . Pullman checked np his report sheets with a stub of -pencil. Again they stopped--*00 ce more went on. Connery, having put his papers Into his pocket, dozed, awoke, dozed again. The progress of the train hulted again and again; several times It backed, charged forward again-- only to stop, back and charge again and then go on. But this did not disturb Connery. Then something went wrong. All at once he f und fclmself, by a trainman* Instinctive and automatic action, upon his feet; for the shock had been so slight as barely to be felt, far too slight certainly to have awakened an; of the sleeping passengers in their berths. He went to the door of the car, lifted the platform stop, threw open the door of the vestibule and hanging himself by one hand to the rail, swung himself out from the side of the car and looked ahead. He saw the forward one of the two locomotives wrapped in clouds of steam, and men arm-deep in snow wallowing forward to the rotary Mill farther to the front, and the sight conformed fully to his apprehension that this bait was more important and likely to last roiich longer than those that had gone before. - •• t-'f ' -- ; ! ".^/'KHAPTEH IV , • Are You Hillward? The bell ii. the washroom at the end of the car was ringing violently, and someone was reinforcing his ring with a stentorian call for "Porter! Porter!" Eaton realized that it was very cold In his berth--also that the train, which was standing still, had been in that motionless condition for some time. He threw up the window curtain as he appreciated that, and. looking out, found that he faced a great unbroken bank of glistening white snow as high as the top of the car at this point and rising even higher ahead. He listened, therefore, while the Englishman--for the voice calling to the porter was his--extracted all available information from the negro. "Porter, where are wef "Between Fracroft and Simons. suh.7 ' "Yetr "Yessuh, "That foolish snow stlim "Yessuh; and snow some more, suhr "But • haven't we the plow still ahead?" "Oh, yessuh; the* plow's ahald. We still got U; but that's all, suh. It ain't doln' much; It's busted." "Eh--what r; "Yessuh--busted! There was right smart of a slide across the track, and the crew, I understands, diagnosed It Jus' fo' a snow bank and done liucked right Into It. But they was rock in this, suh; we's layin right below a hill; and that rock jus' busted that rotary like a Belgium shell hit It. Yessuh--pieces of that rotary essentially scattered themselves in four directions besides backwards and fo'- wards. We ain't done much travelin' since then." Eaton no longer paid attention. "Snowed in and stopped since four!" The realization startled him with the necessity of taking It Into' I account In his plans. He Jerked himself up in his berth and began pulling his clothes down from the hooks; then, as abruptly, he stopped dressing and sat absorbed in thought. He had let himself sink back against the pillows, while he stared, unseelngly, at the solid bank of snow beside the car, when the door at tfce farther end of the coach opened and Conductor Connery entered, calling a name. "Mr. Hillward! Mr. Lawrence Hillward ! Telegram for Mr. Hillward I" Eaton started at the first call' of the name; he sat up and faced about. The conductor was opposite Section Three; Eaton now waited tensely and delayed until tbe conductor was past; then, putting his hesfd out of his curtains he hailed as the conductor was going through the door. "What name? Who Is that telegram for?" "Mr. Lawrence Hillward." " . "Oh, thank you; then that's mine." Connery held hack. "I thought your name was Eaton." "It is. Mr. Hillward--Lawrence Hillward--is an associate of mine who expected to make this trip with me but could not. So I should have telegrams or other communications addressed to him. Is there anything to sign?" "No, sir--train delivery.** Eaton drew his curtains close again and ripped the envelope open; but before reading the message he observed with alarm that his pajama Jacket had opened across. the chest, and a small round scar^ such as that left by a high-powefred bullet penetrating, was exposed. He gasped almost audibly, realizing this, and clapped bis hand to his chest and buttoned his jacket. The message--nine words without signature--lay before him: "Thicket knot youngster omniscient Issue foliage lecture tragic instigation." It was some code which Eaton recognized but could not decipher. at once. The conductor was still standing in the aisle. "When did you get this?" Eaton aSfced, looking out "Just now. That message came through yesterday some time and was waiting for you at Simons; when we got them this morning they sent It on." . "I see; thar.ks." Eaton, assured that if the conductor had seen anything he suspected no significance in what he saw, closed his curtains and buttoned them carefully. The conductor moved on. Eaton took a small English-Chines* pocket dictionary from bis vest pocket and opened it under cover of the blanket; counting five words up from "thicket" he found "they"; five down from "knot" gave him "know"; six up frotn "youngster" was "you"; six down from "omniscient" was "one;" seven up from "issue" was "is;" and so continuing, he translated the words to: "They know you. One It following. Leave train'Instantly." Eaton, nervous and Jerky, as he completed the first six words, laughed as be compiled the final three. "Leave train Instantly!" The humor of that advice in his present situation, as he looked out the window at the solid bank of snow, appealed to him. A waiter from the dining car came back, announcing the first call for breakfast, and spurred him into actlon. Passengers from the Pullman at the rear passed Eaton's section for the diner. He heard Harriet Dome's voice In some quiet conventional remark to the man who followed her. Eaton started at tt; then he dressed swiftly and hurried Into the now deserted washroom and then on to breakfast. Harriet Dome -was sitting facing the door at the second of the larger tables; opposite her,\and with, his back to Eaton, sat Donald Avery. A third place was laid beside the girl,' as though they, expectec Dorne to Join them; but they had begun their fruit without waiting. The girl glanced up as Eaton halted In the doorway; her blue eyes brightened with a look part friendliness, part purpose. "Oh, Mr. Eaton," she smiled, "wouldn't you like to sit with us? I don't think father Is coming to breakfast now; and If he does, of course there's still room." She pulled back th# chair beside her enticingly; and Eaton accepted It. "Good morning, Mr. Avery," he said to Miss Dome's companion formally as he sat down, and the man across the table mtutaured something perforce. As Eaton ordered his breakfast, he appreciate^ for the first time that ft!* coming had Interrupted a conversation-- or rather a sort of monologue of complaint on the part of Stnndish addressed' impersonally to Avery. They engaged in conversation as they breakfasted--a conversation lr which Avery took almost no part, though Miss Dorn6 tried openly to draw him in; then the sudden entrance of Connery, followed closely by a stout, brusque man who belonged to the rear Pullman, took Eaton's attention and hers. "Which Is him?" the man with Connery demanded loudly. Connery checked him, but pointed at the same time to Eaton. "That's him, Is it?" the other man said. "Then go ahead." ' Eaton observed that Avery, who. had turned In his seat, was watching this diversion on the part of the conductor with interest. Connery stopped beside Eaton's seat "You took a telegram for Lawrence Hillward this motnlng;" ia.assfrtad. , "Yes." "Why?" "Because It was mine, or meant for me, as I said at the time. My name Is Eaton; but Mr. Hlllwafrd expected to make this trip with me." The stout man with the conductor forced himself forward. "That's pretty good, but not quite good enough!" he charged. "Conductor, get that telegram for me!" Eaton got up, controlling himself under the Insult of the other's manner. "What business Is It of yours?" he demanded. "What business?' Why, only that I'm Lawrence Hillward--that's all, my friend! What are you up to, anyway? Lawrence?

A Doeuillet model is a smart spring dress with matching cape developed from navy blue serge. This model is entirely in' the picture of tbe new styles for tbe coming spring and summer. It confirms tbe vogue of the straight, finely plaited skirt, the use of the little matching detachable cape, which in this Instance is also plaited, the importance of the plaited balloon sleeve and wristlet frill and the narrow scarf collar, all of which presage the actual mode for 1023. Doeuillet gives an aspect of the bolero to the dress by the manner of trimming tbe bodice, using, as be doe* a silk braid in a brilliant red, bordered with a silver embroidery. , An Agnes model in a spring suit simulates the three-piece style with georgette crepe bodice of contrasting color.

Connery, looking %nto this car, found it empty and the porter cleaning up; he slowly passed f>n forward through the train, stopping Idoomentarlly in the rear Pullmun opposite the lerth of the >as.senger tobom President Jarvis had commendxed to his care. His scrutiny of the Mear told him all was correct here; the ^ 4 .(.«ven breathing within the berth assured him the passengers slept.

WJlItam Si.aketpeaiv's vocabulary was about 15,500 words. John Milton needed only 8,000 different words for "Paradise Lost" while the Old Testament has fewer than 6,000 different words. Some people use only about 800 different words, and most of us get along with between 2,000 and 3,000., A few years ago some peasants in rural England, farm laborers, were found who used about 800. Prof. Max Muller (1823-1900), the great Oxford philologist, who was perhaps the greatest authority of his age on this subject, put the number of words In the English langu -re at 100,000. "If we Include all the words wbica have fixed places in the dialect of the country," says "The Book of Knowledge," "and Include also many which we know were sroken in earlier t;.n£s, we shall have to put tbe total at 400,000 for the English language." The number Is constantly growing. When a new dictionary was made, some years ago, It was found, that the new words necessary for use In relation to electricity and electrical appliances numbered over 4,000. A similar Increase had taken place with regard to other arts. Md sciences. 2fr*0r#M ^ on Fruit tfl *oTffe countries the diet of horses Is limited to fruits.

The charge was made loudly and distinctly; every one In the dining car--Eaton / could not see everjr one, but he knew it was so-- had put down fork or cup or spoon and was staring at him. "What did you do It for? What did you want with it?" the stout man blared on. "Did you think I wasn't on tbe train? What?" 14 Eaton felt he was paling as he faced the blustering smaller man. He realized that the passengers he could see--those at the smaller tables-- already had judged his explanation and found him wanting; the others unquestionably had done the tome. Avery was gazing up at him with a sort of contented triumph. "The telegram was for me. Conductor!" he repeated. "Get that telegram, Conductor!** the stout man demanded again. "I suppose," Connery suggested, ••you' have letters or a card or something, Mr. Eaton, to show your, relationship to Lawrence Hillward." "No, I have not." » Connery gazed from one claimant to the other. "Will you give this gentleman the telegram?" he asked E&ton. "I will not." "Then I shall furnish him another ?copy; It was received here on the train by our express clerk as the operator. I'll go forward and get him an other copy." "That's for you to decide," Eaton ssid; and as though the matter was closed for him, he resumed his seat. He was aware that, throughout the car the passengers were watching him curiously. "Are you ready to go back to our car now, Harriet?" Avery inquired when she had finished her breakfast though Eaton was not yet through. "Surely there's no hurry about anything today," the girl returned. They waited until Eaton had finished. "Shall we all go i>ack to the observation car and see if there's a walk down the track or whether it's snowed over?" she said Impartially 10 tbe two. They went through the Pullmans. to< gether. The first Pullman contained four or five passengers; the next. In which «Eaton had his berth, was still empty as they passed through. The next Pullman also, at first glance, seemed to have been deserted In favor of the diner forward or of the club-car farther back. Tbe porter had made ui all the berths there also, except one; but someone was still sleeping behind the curtains of Sectlota Three, for a man's, hand hung over the aisle. It was a1 gentleman's hand, with long, well-formed fingers, sensitive and at the same time strong. That was the berth of Harriet Dome's father; Ea ton was the last of the three to pass, and so tbe others did not otlce his start; but so strong was the fasclna tion of the hand In the aisle that he turned back and gazed at It before going on Into the last car. Some <*lght or ten passengers--men am} women--were lounging in the easychairs of the .observation room; couple, ulstered and fur-capped, were standing on the platform gazhig back from tbe train.

The union of blue serge and white organdie 1b an important bit of news In the fashion world. Navy blue serge has been revive^ ^and brought Into tbe foreground as a fashionable dress material. A few years ago this material was looked upon as the back* bbne of the wardrobe for the woman who could not be extravagant1 In' her dress and must choose fabrics that were durable. With its return to favor it has been lifted outr of Its oldtime place and made one of the extremes of fashion. As of old, however, white lingerie effects are Introduced into the blue serge costume to make it more appeal- The Better Position, He that is taught to live upon Uttle <*wes more to his father's wlsdonl th»n he that has a great deal left him does to his father's care.--William Peon.

A new model for spring, charming in its simplicity, Is developed In blue serge wltb godet panels of blue organdie set Into the skirt These organdie panels are much elaborated, with a sort of passementerie trimming made from the organdie. Similar panels appear on the sleeves, and there Is *, belt of the organdie. - An excess of embroidery characterizes many x)f the new dresses. They are not only adorned with embroidery, but. they are covered with It A dress from Worth typical of the new embroidery effects Is developed from Havana brown crepe mongol with an all-over design In Chinese effect done In the same tone; Interest also is mafilfest in Hindo- Chinese designs. Some erepella dresses show brlHIant-hued embroideries on white wool backgrounds. Discriminating women seemingly have not had enough of embroidery. Some of the new spring models in silk are Uterally eaibroIder.v-cover.gd, the pattern being so exquisitely executed that It seems a part of the fabric. A beautiful dress of this charitcter developed in channante arm.ure is a lovely reddish tone wltb a cashmere design. : V Has Three Armholea* The dress is of a most unusual ^lit, seemingly passing around the figure three times, and in a way it has three armholes, The underlapplng side has an armhole to hold it In place, thb dj-ess has two regulation armholes which support the sleeves and the dress fastens very far at the right side, quite contrary to tbe usual style of opening. An Irregular embroidery design Is seen on an afternoon dress developed of crepe de chine, the needlework appearing on the panels at the sides of the skirt and surmounting open slashes in the front of the bodice. A sash in salmon pink emerges at ooip side of the dress, as If the under-bod- Jce were made by- wrapping the figT ure and leaving the long ends free to tie in a bow on the outside of the dress. The novel, half-low roll collar shows tbe same embroidery. An attractive model Is developed of crepe georgette with delicate hand embroidery. The dress Is In one-piece style with the waistline higher than that most popular at the present time. There are overhanging panels closely plaited and mounted with a delicate handwork done on the crepe georgette. A smart touch is given through the use of a scarf sash of tulle which is attached at the left side with a bouquet of frosted silver flowers. When worn, this scarf is thrown carelessly around the neck, passing the back and the left arm and crossing the throait. The use of high-colored prints in crepe marocain and crepe de chine Is still much in vogue. The newest patterns are in Caraboge or Hlndo-Chinese style, but there also &re many Persian and cashmere prints. Many of the newest afternoon dresses for spring will be made of crepe romaln of that quality which resembles crepe georgette, hut has considerable more body and is more durable. A charming new model developed from gray crepe romaln Is trimmed with hand-plaited bands of faille ribbon set Into open Interstices which are embroidered all around. Giving further ornamentation and weight to the dress are broad panels of tiny hstid-ran total at'Yfk* front and back. I^CIGINmES EVDttWHERE DAY-OLD CHICKS! O Single and Rose Comb Rhod# Island Whites.

Where white table linen still is the order of the day for dinner, colored cotton and linen damasks find a decided sale for breakfast, luncheon and supper. Sometimes the color la an all-over treatment, while at other times it merely consists of a border. In doilies the large, oblong type Is the newest and best idea, as It gives a less spotty appearance to the table. It holds the plate, glass and sliver all la one. Cross-stlteh has made rapid strides as a decorative motif for these dollies. Cross-stitch originated In China 1,000 years ago and, interestingly enough, Is not donei by women, but by men. This particular type of linen wears and washes extremely well. Grass cloth Chinese sets, hand embroidered in color, have been commercialized for the first time to an extensive degree.
