CHAPTER IV--Continued. ®tZH If11 **• !•« They were not far away, but too taken op with each other to see me. She was walking slowly, with the litttle petulant cock of her dainty head which I kiiew so well, casting her eyes away from him, and shooting out a word from time to time. He paced aloqg beside her. looking down at her and bending his head in the eagerness his talk. Then, as he said something. she placed her hand with a ca-' » ress, upon his arm, and he, carried off his feet, plucked her up and kissed her again and again. At the sight I could neither cry out nor move, but stood with a heart of lead and the face of a dead man staring down at them. I saw her hand passed over his Khoijlcler, and that his kisses were as welcome to her as ever mine had been. Then he set her down again, and I found that this had been their parting, for indeed in another hundred paces they would have come in view of the upper windows of the house. She walked slowly away, with a wave back once or twice, and he stood looking after her. I waited until she was •one way off, and then down I came, bat so taken up was he, that I was within a hand's touch of him before he whisked ^ound upon me. He tried to smile as his eyes met mine. 1 saw you," I* gasped, and my throat had turned so dry that I spoke like a man with a quinsy. "Did you so?" said be;, and he gave a little whistle. "WeR, on my life. Jock, Pm not sorry. I was thinking of coming up to West "inch this very day and having it out with you. Slayhe Its better as H Is." ' "You're been a fine friend," said L "Well, dow, be reasonable, Jock," said he, sticking his hands Into his pockets and rocking to and fro as he stood. "Let me show you how it stands. Look me in the eye and you'll see that I don't lie. It's this way. I had met Edie--Miss Calder, that Is-- before I came that morning, and there were things which made me look upon her as free, and, thinking that, I let ray mind dwell on her. Then you said she wasn't free but was promised to you, and that was the -worst knock I've had for a time. It clean put me off, and I made a fool of myself for rie days, and It's a* mercy I'm not Berwick Jail.' Then by chance I met her again--on nay soul, Jock, it was chance for me--and when I spoke of you she laughed at the thought. It was cousin and cousin, she said, but as for her not being free, or you being more to her than a friend, it was fool's talk- So you see. Jock, I was not so • much to blame after all, the more so as she promised that she would let you •ee by her conduct that you were mistaken in thinking that you had any claim upon her. You must have noticed that she has hardly had a word for you for these last two weeks." I laughed bitterly. "It was only last night." said I, "that she told me that t I was the only man In all this earth that she could ever bring herself to i love." Jim Horscroft pot out a shaking hand and laid It on my shoulder, while he pushed his face forward to look Into my eyes. ! "Jock Calder," said he, "I never knew you tell a lie. You are not trying to score trick against trick. ,ar^ . you? Honest, now, between man ana , man." "It's God's troth." said I. He stood looking at me, and his face vbad set like that of a man who Is hava hard fight with himself. It wa$ •; m long two minutes before he spoke. I "See here. Jock," said he. "this * W®man Is fooling us both. D'you hear. man?~^8he's fooling us both. She loves you at West Inch, and she loves me on the brae-side, and in her devil's heart she cares a whin blossom for neither of us. Let's join Jiands, man, •ad send' the hell-fire hussy to the right-about." But thl* was tffo rnUeh. I Could not curse her in my oun heart, and still less could I stand by and hear another «aan do it,,not though it was my oldjaat friend.. •"Don't you call name*!" I ci^ed. ? "Ach ! you sicken me with your soft (talk. I'll call her what she should be (Wiled." "Will yoo. though?" said I, lugging IPC my coat. "Look you hers, Jim Horscroft, If you say another word against he» Fll lick It down your throat if you were as big as Berwick castle. Try me, and see!" He peeled off his coat down to the elbows and thai he slowly palled It on again. "Don't be such a fool, Jock," said he. "T4»o old friends mustn't fall out over such a--well, there, I won't say it. Well, by the Lord 1 if she hasn't nerve for ten!" I lpoked around, and there she was, not twenty yards fromua, looking as cool and easy and placid as we were hot and fevered. "I was nearly home," said she, "when I saw you two boys very busy talking, so I came all the way back to know what It was about." Horscroft took a run forward and caught her by the wrist. She gave a little squeal at the sight of hla face, but he pulled her toward where I was standing. "Now. Jock, we've had tomfoolery enough," said he. "Here she is. Shall we take her word as to which she likes? She can't trick us now that we're both together." "I am willing," said I. "And so am I. If she goes for you I swear I'll never so much as turn an eye on her agltftt. Will yon do as much for me?" v- h "Yes. I will." 'V "Well, then, look here, you! We're both honest men and friends, and we tell each other no lies, and so we know your double ways. I know what you said last night. Jock knows what you said today. D'you see? Now, then, fair and square! Here we are before you, once and have done. Which is it to be, Jock or me?" You would have thought that the woman would have been overwhelmed with shame, but instead of that her eyes were shining with delight, and 1 dare wager that it was the proudefct moment of her life. As she looked from one to the other of us, with the cold morning sun glittering on her face, I bad never seen her look 80 lovely. Jim felt It also, I am sure, for he dropped her wrist, and the harsh lines were softened upon his face. "Come, Edle! Which is it to be?" he asked. 'Naughty boys; to fall out like this," she cried. "Caaiain Jade,, you know how fond I am. of you." "Oh, then, go to html" mid Horscroft. "But I love nobody but Jim. There is' nobody that I love like Jim." She snuggled up to him, and laid her cheek against his breast. "You see, Jock !" said he, looking over her shoulder. I did .see, and away I went for West Inch, another man from the time that i met it. *•;. V CMAPTE& V. The Man From the 8ea. Well, I was never one to sit groaning over a cracked pot; If it cannot be mended, then It is the part of a man to say no more of it. For weeks I had an aching heart; indeed, it Is a little sore now, after all these years and a happy marriage, when I think of it. But I kept a brave face on me, and above all I did as I had promised that day on the hillside. I was a brother to her, and no more, though there were times when I had to put a curb upon myself. For the most part she and Jim were happy enough. It was all over the countryside that they were to be mar-, rled when he had passed his degree, and he would come up to West Inch four nights a week to sit with us. My folk were pleased enough about it, and I tried to be pleased too. We used to take long rambles together, Jim and I, and IMs about one of those that I now want to tell you. We had passed over Bramston heath and round the clump of firs which screens the house of Major Elliott from the sea wind. It was spring, and the year was a forward one, so that the trees jpere well leaved by the end of April. It was as warm as a summer day, and we were the more surprised when we saw a huge fire roaring upon the grass plat before the major's door. There was a fir tree In It, and the flames were spouting up as high as the bedroom windows. Jim and I stood staring; but we stared the more when out came the major, with a great quart pot In his hand, and at his heels his old sister, who kept house for him, and two of the maids, and all four began capering about the fire. He was a douce, quiet man, as all the country knew; and here he was, like Old Nick at the carllns' dance, hobbling round and waving his drink above his head. We both set off running, and he waved the more whfen he saw us coming. "Peace!" he roared. "Huzza, boys! Peace!" And at that we both fell to dancing and shouting too, for it had been such a weary war, as far back as we could remember, and the shadow had lain so long over us that It was wondrous to feel that it was lifted. Indeed it was too much' to believe, but the major laughed our doubts to sr-orn, "Aye, aye, it is tnje," he cried, stopping, with his hand to his side, "The allies have got PurliC Boney has thrown up the sponge, and ttf* P«>fc)le are all swearing allegiance to Louis XVIII." v , • , - "And the emperor?" I asked; "willthey spare him?" "There's some talk of* sending him to Elba, where he'll be out of mik- Tm coning of BsaamUr* (TO BE CONTINUED.) MATING ARRANGED BY ELDERS cawro way..

Well, we stayed some time with the major, and then away we went to the beach, Jim and I, talking this great news -and all that *Md4, come of It How little did Jim fcmr at that moment, as he strode alsqr it my side so full of health and of spirits, that he had reached the extreme Kummlt of life, and that from that hour an would In troth be upon (be downward slope. There was a little base oat to sen, for It had been very misty In the earltf morning, though the sun had thinned It. As we looked seaward we sud* denly saw {he sail of a small boat break out through the ffog and come bobbing along toward the land. A single man was seated In the sheets, and she yawed about as she ran, as though he were of two minds whether to beach her or no. At last, determined. It may be, by on* presence, he made straight for ns, and her keel grated upon the shingle at our very feet. He dropped his sail, climbed out, and pnlled her bows up onto the beach. "Great Britain, I believe T' said he, turning round and facing us. He was a man somewhat above middle height, but exceedingly thin, well dressed In a suit of brown with brass buttons, and h® wore high boots, which were all roughened and dulled by the sea water. His face and hands were so dark that he might have been a Spaniard, but as he raised his hat to us we saw that the upper part of his brow was quite white, and that It was from without that he had his swarthiness. He looked from one to the other of us, and his gray eyes had something in them which I had never seen before. You could read the* question, but there seemed to be a menace at the back of It, as If the answer were a right and not a favor. "Great Britain?" he asked again, with a quick tap of his foot: on the shingle. 'Yes," said I, while Jim burst out laughing. "England? Scotland?" "Scotland. But It's England put yonder trees." 'Bon! I know where I am now. I've been In a fog without a compass for nearly three days, and I didn't thought was ever to see land again." He spoke English glibly enough, but with some strange" turn- of speech from time to time. 'Where did yon Vome from, then?" asked Jim. 'I was In a ship that was wrecked," said he shortly. "What to ilka town down yonder?" •. • •••:* v ' 1 'It Is Berwick." ; 'Ah, well, I must gel stronger' Defore I can go further." He turned toward the boat, and as he did so -he gave a lurch, and would have fallen had he not caught the prow. On this he seated himself, and looked round him with a face that was flushed and two eyes that biased like a wild beast's. 'Voltlgeurs de la Garde!" he roared in a voice like a trumpet call, and then again, "Voltlgeurs de la Garde!" He waved his hat. above his head, and suddenly pitching forward upon his face on the sand, he lay all huddled into h little brown heap. Jim Horscroft and I stood and stared at each other. The coming of the man had been so strange, and his Questions, and now this sudden turn. We took him by a shoulder each and turned him upon his back. His lips were bloodless, ilhd his breath would scarce shake a feather. Fall and Winter Wraps In Line With Features in Other - < -^Wearing ApparelI.. ".'" HI6H COLLAR MEETS FAVOR Historic Form of tfeek Dressing ls Eagerly Taken Up by 8mart Worn. ^ «*4nd Success Seems MM ;/i - - cured. Vi Coats are among the first clothea that we buy for autumn. There are several reasons for getting these early in the season. We can wear them over our summer dresses and start the season with cloth frocks left over from •spring If we have a good-looking coat. Then, too. the fashions In coats are settled earlier than they are in dresses. There is not the constant changing that there is in frocks. 1 do not mean, writes a Paris fashion correspondent, that there are not great changes In coats from one season to another, but that the styles In coats brought out early In the autumn carry through the entire winter. This fall's topcoats are In line with the advanced style features 'seen lb other articles of wearing apparel. Along with the oriental and Egyptian notes, which are being strongly featured In both current and advance fashion models, there is appearing another note fostered by several important bonses. This Is the Dlrectoire. Regarding the styles of this period there might be something in common between the psychology of 1920 In France and. that of the closing years of the eighteenth century. The style of the Dlrectolre period was patterned upon exaggerated classical outline and appealed to that new class of citizens recently come into power and wealth through France's changing political conditions. The Paris dressmaker today Is catering to a similar class, those who have gained wealth and Influence through the recent war. Mingle in New Models. Society is not yet organized M.lt was before the war. Everything goes, as It were, in a hit-or-mlss style. The Paris dressmaker, being forced to study the state of a new class of customers, vaguely reaches out for Ideas around which to build models that will conform to this new standard In taste in dress. Just as the Dlrectolre was a melange of classic and modern Ideas, so today are fashions culminating in a mixture of orient and Occident One of the most pronounced and striking features, which has already registered a success in Paris, Is the high Dlrectolre collar of organdie or crepe georgette, and even of plaited cloth. This historic form of neck dressing has been eagerly taken up by a few smart women and Its success seems to be assured. These Dlrectolre collars are seen as frequently on coats as they are on dresses. In fact, the Dlrectolre Is strongly emphasized In winter wraps. Very srmrtt In Its aspect Is the tan* ored coat developed In beautiful beaver shades of cloth4 that strongly emphasizes the slim line of the Dlrectolre. Such coats also have the high-mounting collar of that period. Dlrectolre coats were brought out In midsummer developed In bright yellow linens, to wear over dresses of plaited white organdie made Id semi-chemise form without a vestige of trimming. Only a narrow belt of organdie tied about the waist broke the stralghtness of their lines. These dresses were semidecollete and had sleeves so short that they might almost have been said to Young People of Java Have Little to Say In Selection of Husband or Wife. Marriages In Java are typical of people In all tropical climates. In that the couples wed when they are very young. When a girl reaches her eleventh or twelfth year, her parents begin to look out for a suitable husband, and after the selection has been made they start long preliminary discussions with the parents of the boy. The father of the girl then consults the "wise man" of the village, usually the only literate person In the community, further action being taken solely on his advice. The wise man takes the first letter* of the names of the prospective bride1 and groom and draws them together In various shapes, then meditating over the combination which is to decide wnether the boy and girl are going to be happy in their marriage. If the drawing suggests in the imagination of the wise man a tree with many branches, he warmly recommends the alliance between the boy and girl as the drawing Is supposed to promise them prosperity and, above all, a large family. When the selection Is made to the satisfaction of all concerned, the parents begin to discuss the dowry which, in the case of the Javanese," is supplied by the groom, consisting of dresses, food, household goods and other similar articles.--Detroit News.

Albion--White Island--the ancient name of Britain--was probably given to it by the Gauls, on account of the white cliffs on the southeast font Ancient Diamonds. Diamonds were known and worn as jewels in India 5,000 years ago and used as cutters and gravers 3M)0Q years a«°- y FIND USE FOR REMNANTS. The present popularity of uudermuslln delicately barred with color, or softly tinted solid colors, makes possible the construction of many really lovely garments out of ends and odds, for yokes or waist portions may be of one material, and the rest of the article of another. A touch of hand trimming of some kind In Just the right shade unifies the whole. This also permits of the economical use of remnants and otherwise unusable small portions of garments, for which there would be no place in the usual scheme of things. A New Sweater. One of the newest sweaters Is In openwork stitch. It is made of sllvferglow wool, that delightful silk and wool mixture with the silvery gloss. A cord of wool finished with Mil b tied about the waist. Taffeta Ruffles. Taffeta ruffles are used lavishly on parasols of taffeta. The ruffles are sometimes doabta. r , i be sleeveless. This type of eottnifoe took so well that It has been copied In heavier materials for autumn. The coats may be of cloth, Uned with heavy •ilk crepe, and the drpfMi of the same Material as the coat IfMthg. It is a perfect costume for afternoon wear. : Deep Color Tones. Very -charming dresses in deep color tones are being made up in Dlrectolre style. Amongfthe new models shown by one French house are dark brown and rose-colored cloths made in a cross between the Dlrectolre and the modern French dressmaker's Interpretation of that period. Qne such model Is developed in brown cloth with a high Dlrectolre frill of ecru batiste. A third interpretation of the Dire©- to ire is seen In three-piece suits developed in bine serge, with beautiful embroideries executed in metal nailbeads of iridescent colors. The skirts of these dresses have a one-side drapery, with a slashed opening at the side where the drapery falls. The coat shows the cutaway front "and the long sides and back so characteristic of the Dlrectolre period. There Is considerable dignity in these suits and they are also of a type very becoming to the average American figure. A strong point in favor of the success of the Dlrectolre is the fact that almost all ^omen like the simplicity of line which characterizes It. A coat with a novel vest having a Dlrectolre collar is worked out to a lightweight serge, with accordion plaiting set on at a low bipline. This Illustrates one of the methods of obtaining the long-walsted, effect that has taken such a firm hold on all autumn coats. It appears In suit coats as well as separate wraps. A Reboux hat of the Breton sailor type Is worn with the coat. Here the trimming, which takes the form of fiat silk roses, is placed beneath the brim just the right ear. T . f Lined With Brocaded 811k. ' r The feature , of a popular fofro of mantle coat is the cape back, which is lined with a beautiful brocaded silk. One of Premefs cape mantles. Is developed in lightweight gray homespun. The cape Is very much shorter and cut to a point at the center back. The original model was made with the cape nnllned. The erase for plaiting as a trimming has set Its mark on the autumn coats. There are very smart coats on which the trimming consists of inserted plaited bands surrounding the skirt in rows and of hlgh-plalted collars of the cloth. Sometimes a vest of embossed leather Is added. Then the high collar is of the leather. Tobacco brown serge and soft Undressed leather in soft, harmonizing shades of brown make a smart coat. One model shows the plaited trimming. It Is one of the most popular coats In Paris. Soft brown wool Is chosen for It, with organ-plaited bands of the material sewn flat A smart-looking French woman who recently appeared in this eoat wore with it a simple hat of an unusual shade. It was a cloche, pointed at the sides and trimmed only with a band and bow of ribbon. She also wore gauntlet gloves scalloped at the edge. Ribbon Finds New Gayety. Throughout all our current styles ribbons continue to display their bright shades. Hats are trimmed with ribbons In the form of the most exaggerated sort of loops and bows. It began with the plain ribbons, but these soon proved too tame for the taste of the present-day woman, so milliners began to offer hats decked with the gayest sort of ribbons with their surfaces embroidered In many bright Colors as well as those of intricate weave displaying varl-colored surfaces. A small Turkish cap almost completely covered by drooping loops of dark ribbon covered with, a bright pink flower design has a border of myrtle green. A high-collared vest of the same ribbon is made to be worn with the hat. The vogue for embroidering hats is continued. A grape design is wrought out In soft green shades. Modistes have prepared many things to offer their customers this autumn, but no one can say Just what will be accepted. There are a great many close-fitting hats' with the trimming drooping from the top of the crown. An exaggerated military turban Is a popular model with all milliners. On these they place the tMmming to stand directly up in the front like a cockade, or ostrich plumes may cross the top of the crown and droop alraost «ver the eyas at tt»~ froot. if ^ Lingerie Set An effective and practical lingerie aet suggested for a trosseau Is of orchid gorgette, devoid of late, but trimmed daintily with tiny ruffles of eelf material and narrow, ribbon In ••rchld and yellow. \ ' -"V;< ?»/ -- * ^ • ^ Black and Whits Look Good Tell 4he boy to do what be pleasea and he will do it without a munsu Colors Provide Stunning Coartiinatlon, .Always Fashionable, Fine for Sport Wear.
