His plan was to dispose of Sanchez--even to permit the Spaniard to die of his.wounds; posslbty even to hasten and assure that death by $0me secret resort to violence. No doubt LeVere was also concerned in the conspiracy and would profit by it, and possibly "these two were likewise assured of the co-operation of the more reckless ^spirits among the crew. I remembered what Watkins had whispered to me forward--his suspicions of them both. He had been right; already the fuse was being laid, and, very fortunately, I happened to be chosen to help touch it off. The chance I had sought blindly was being plainly revealed. It was evident enough, however, that Estada had no Intention of trusting me Immediately with his real motives. His confidence was limited, and his instructions related altogether to mere matters of ship routine. I could await developments. But I was becoming wearied by the man. "I understand perfectly, senor," I broke In at last impatiently. "You will have to take for granted that I can enforce sea discipline and navigate your boat to whatever part or the ocean you desire to sail. 4>U I need is your orders. This, I take lfc» Is all you require of me?" "Yes; I plan, you execute." "Very good; now about myself,"and I arose to my feet, determined to close the interview. "You say I may choose any stateroom oil the port side?" "They are all' linoccupied, except one, used by the steward as a storeroom." I opened the door and stepped out Into the main cabin, the roll of charts under my arm. Estada didn't wait for me to question him. "Captain Sanchez' stateroom is aft," he said, with a wave of the band. "There are two rooms. Jose Is with him--a negro with a knack at nursing." "Who else Is quartered aft here?" He Ignored the one thing I most desired to learn, but I did not press it, believing I knew the answer already. "LeVere has this middle stateroom, and Mendez the one forward. Mendez is third officer and carpenter. Just at present with LeVere required on deck he has charge of the men below. Not the working crew; they are quartered in the forecastle and are largely English and'Swede. But we have to carry extra men, who bunk amidships --hellhounds to fight--mongrels Of course. They are allowed on deck I Followed Him to the Deck. amidships when we are at sea, but are not encouraged to mingle with the sailors. We're over a powder magazine all the time, Gates--any spark might set it off." I opened one of the doors opposite and glanced within. The interior differed but little from that of the.stateroom occupied by Estada, except It was minus the table. No doubt they were all practically alike. "This will do very well," I said quietly. "Now how about clothes? These I wear look rather rough for the new job. "I'll send you the steward; he'll fix you out from the slop chest. I wa$ glad to see him go and closed the door on him with a sigh of relief. It had all occurred s6 quickly, almost without effort on my part, I could do little but wonder what strange occurrence would be next. What, indeed, was there for me to do except to await developments? Only one thing occurred to me--I must discover some means immediately of communicating with Dorothy Fairfax. The Importance of this could not be overestimated. With myself quartered aft and eating in the cabin we were bound to meet sooner or later, and the girl must previously be warned of my presence aboard, or in her first suri bacco and a pipe, and--yes. wait • second--writing materials. And, bj the way, there are two stateroomi astern. Who occupies the one to star board--Senor Estada ?" "No, senor; It is the youog lady." "Oh, the one brought aboard last night. Have you seen her?1* "Si, senor; she is English and good to look at, but she sit and stfua out the stern port. She will not speak or eat. I take in hei* brenkfast, but she touch not a morsel. So I tell Senor Estada, and he say, then bring her out to dinner with me; M make the hussy eat if I have to choke it down her dainty throat,'" iv "Good; I'll have 4 look at her myself then. Now hunyr«P those tilings, steward, and remember w£at I sent you after." He brought the shaving set and writing materials first, explaining that he fwould have to go down into the lazaret qnd break open some packages for the tobacco and pipe. The moment the fellow disappeared 1 grasped the opportunity. I dashed off a note hurriedly-1-* brief line merely stating my presence on board and begging her not to exhibit surprise at meeting me. I had no time in which to explain or make clear the situation. With this folded and concealed in my hand I silently pushed open the door. I crept swiftly forward, following the circle qi the staterooms, until 1 came to tha closed door of the one I sought aft. I bent here an instant, listening for some sound from within, but heard none. Beyond doubt the giW was within and alone, and I must trust her quick Intelligence to respond to my written message. I thrust it through the narrow opening'above the sill, and the mofnent it disappeared within stole swiftly back to mjt own room. The action had not been seen, and yet I had scarcely a moment to spare. Before I could lather mjr face the steward returned, bearing in his hands tobacco and pipe. Estada, however, remained away longer than I had anticipated W would, and I was fully dressed and comfortably smoking before he came down from the deck and crossed the cabin to my partially open door. "The starboard watch has been called," he said, "and you are to take charge of the deck, relieving LeVere. I waited to explain the situation to the men before you appeared. I suppose you are ready?" "Ay, ay, senor," knocking the ashes out of my pipe and rising. He eyed my clothes disapprovingly. I "Rather a ftyicy rig, Gates, for a first offloer on duty." "Some style, I admit, senor, but they were all the steward offered me." "You'll have to carry a hard fifet, iny man, to back up that costume aboard the Namur," he said coldly. Those black devils are apt to mistake you for a plaything." I followed him up the stairs to the deefc. LeVere as still on duty, and came forward and shook hands at my appearance. "Rather glad I didn't drown you," he said, Intending to be pleasant. "But hope you'll not ran amuok in the after cabin." I shall try not to unless I have cause," I answered, looking him square In the eyes and determining to make my position clear at once. Senor Estada tells me I am to relieve you. What Is the course?" "Sou'west by half sou'." » "Do you know your position V "Only In a general way. We have held an east by south course since leaving the capes, until an hour ago, making about ten knots." Very well; I will figure It out as best I can. There is nothing further to report ?". No, senor; all has been*as It Is now." • • •• He glanced toward Estada, not greatly pleased, I presume, with my brrfsqueness, yet finding nothing In either words or manner from which to evoke a quarrel. The latter had overheard our conversation, but he stood now with back toward us looking oi&^on #the sea off the port quniter. His silent indifference caused LeVere to shrug his ..shoulders and disappear down the ladder on his way below. I turned my face to the man at the wheel--it was the giant negro, Cochose.

If I was to serve the girl there must be, first of all, intelligent co-operation between us. She must not only know of my presence on the Namur but also the purpose ao tuating me. I had reached this conclusion when a light, hesitating knock sounded at the door. Gunsaules entered, garments over his arm, and laid out the pieces carefully one by one, evidently proud of his selection. "The clothes seem to be all right, steward," I said, "and I judge will ft.

The sleeves are longer than the French, which persistently reveal the elbow at just the most awkward length. The footing also trims these in a straight around band at the CBff over the elbow. Footing Used Extenelvely. Footing is extensively used this season. There are many varieties. The finest is called French blond, and has a narrow edge like French seaming braid as a finish. The texture of this is extremely fine, like the threads In real lace. All footing is narrow, seldom over two inches wide. The point d'esprit. the plain white or the biack, is Introduced on every part of the frock. Some of the prettiest collars one can find are made of bands of footing gathered into a puff and placed between rows of fine valenciennes lace. But to return to our georgettes,. r companion dress to the blue beauty I have been describing repeats the skirt except for the bands of footing. The waist is, of the plainest shirtwaist type, relieved by bands of the fashionable Margot lace placed In perpeQ; (Mcular manner so as to form an entire jacket effect, the ends of which appear below the wide sash of blue satin. The printed georgettes are greatly in demand.

It is a cool costume, appropriate for house, street and stmiformal wear. what of the heavily beaded dresses so long esteemed, others seek them out! assiduously, seeming to prefer the chemise type with its beading to all other gowns of thin material. Now that the blue dyes are of such uncertain quality, and few of the manufacturers will sell them with a guarantee of their lasting attributes, the dark blues are harder to find, and therefore we notice many variations of the blue shades which have not been often seen. For Instance, the exquisite horizon blue of the French uniforms developed in georgette makes ideal dresses for country club wear. One just from France has an apron effect across the front made by placing row after row of blond footing one above the other from the hetn of the skirt almost to the waist. This skirt, by the way, deviates somewhat from the straight up and down effect of the majority and seems to be cut after the circular fashion of several seasons ago. The rows of the footing which form the apron, line, on the front find at the sides of the skirt just as an apron would do.

"What made them fire that chairman out of the window?" asked the bolshevist "He insulted one of our most reverenced principles," replied the anarchist. "The first thing he said was, The meeting will come to order.'" This "town blouse" is of white georgette flowered in daffodil yellow and soft green, decorated with wooden beads in green and blue. The blue and white printed georgettes are among the most successful gowns of the summer. They are made In almost every fashion, with straight slips of dark blue satin or silk underneath as a foundation, while the printed fabric Is draped in straight tunic with unbroken lines from shoulders almost to hem. A wide sash of skirt is gathered at the back, where a handsome sash of blue satin of the exact shade of the georgette is tied in a large bow with long loops and ends. The waist has a plastron in front bordered at each side with a bit of the narrow footing. The collar falls away from the throat at the front in a bewaist and left to hapg somewhat lower In the back to give the sort of overhanging lines and long waist effect so much sought. This way of making the printed georgettes is excellent for the dark blues or black and white, and is the sort of afternoon dress one is always needing during the summer. The chemise dress Is a boon to almost every woman, for it requires a sash, and sashes, wide or narrow belts and the drooping waistline cover a multitude of faulty figures which are revealed with unsparing frankness in separate waist and skirt. The thick waist appears almost slim when the ilde sash and belt are cleverly arranged so as not to accentuate. Few women who have attained this undesirable thickness through the waist realize apparently what a top-heavy look they have with a light shirtwaist above a dark skirt--If they did all would abandon this fashion and at least have skirt and waist of the same color, all white, for Instance, or all blue. Contrasting with these rather awkward dresses are the charming things of pale georgette and tinted lace. The tinted lace is really enchanting. A silvery gray chiffon frock made over a tight slip of gray taffeta lets this (TO BI$ CONTINUED.) f from So i t Children of Great Men.

At the Hotel Reale, a tablet calls attention to the fact that Garibaldi was a guest there in 1848. That "Arona, Lago Mngglore," Turner's wonderful canvas, was not made from photographs can be gathered from Ruskln's letter, In which he says, "No such hills are, or ever were, in sight from Arona. They are gathered together, hill by hill, partly from the Battles of Olegglo, partly from above the town here, partly from half way up the lake near Baveno and then all thrown together In one gcaad imaginary chain." slip show below the upper draperies of bined so cleverly.

If you want to be correct, you must show your forehead, especially in the evening. But the forehead need not be quite bare.

' -- Cassowary Has Come Back. Not so very long ago the question was raised In millinery circles as to whether cassowary plumage could come back as a trimming for women's hats. At that time it was stated that, while its Importation had been prohibited for several years, there was enough available in this country to enable the trade to go ahead if it wanted to use it. The question i»r« been answered by some concerns that make model hats, which are showing them trimmed with cassowary In the natural hue. It Is used on all-velvet models for early fall wear.

The Santall Indians must literally purchase their brides. They pay a sum of money to the girl's parents-- usually about 100 rupees--and, In ad-' dltion, they present the mother aud the female relatives with new sans or shawls. Should the bridegroom choose a widow for his wife, she will only cost half the sum mentioned.
