The judge, who had withdrawn Into the shadow, considered for a moment, then said: "I cannot describe her features, for she was heavily veiled; neither can I describe her figure except to say that ahe is tall and slender. But her dress I remember. She wore purple; not an old woman's purple, but a soft shade which did not take from her youth. The child did not seem to belong to her, though she held her tightly by the hand. In age it appeared to be about six--or that was the impression I received before--" The sergeant, who had been watch ing the speaker very closely, leaned forward with a hasty, inquiring glance expressive of something like conster nation. Was the judge falling again into unconsciousness? No; for the eyes which had gone blank had turned hie way again, and only a disconnected expression which fell from the judge's lips showed that his mind had been wandering. 'It's not the same but another one; that's all." - Inconsequent words, but the sergeant meant to remember them, for with their utterance a change passed over the judge, and his manner, which had been constrained and hurried during his attempted description, became at once more natural and therefore more courteous. "Do you think you can find her with such insufficient data? A woman dressed in purple, leading a little Child?" "Judge, I not only feel sure that I can find her, but I think she is found already. Do you remember the old tavern on the Rushville road? I be lieve they call it an inn now* or some such fancy name." The Judge sat quiet, but the ser geant, who dared not peer too closely, noticed a sudden constriction in the fingers of the band with which his host lingered a paper cutter lying on the table between them. "The one where--" "I respect your hesitation. Judge. Tea, the one run by the man you sen tenced--" A gesture had stopped him. He waited respectfully for the judge's next words. They came quickly and with stern and solemn emphasis. "For a hideous ^nd wholly unpro voked crime. Why do you mention it and--and his tavern?" "Because of something I have lately heard in its connection. You know that the old house has been all made over since that time and run ae a place. of resort for automobilists in search of light refreshments. The proprie tor's name is Yardley. We have noth ing against him; the place is highly respectable. But it harbors a boarder, a permanent one, I believe, who has occasioned no little comment. No one has ever seen her face; unless it is the landlord's wife. She has all her meals served in her room, and when ehe goes out she wears the purple dress and purple veil you've been talk ing about. Perhaps she's your visitor of today. Hadn't I better find out?" "Has she a child? Is she a mother?" "I haven't heard of any child, but Mrs. Yardley has Beven." The judge's hand withdrew from the fidble and for an- instant the room was so quiet that you could hear some far- &B clock ticking out the minutes. Then Judge Ostrander rose and in a peremp tory tone said: "Tomorrow. After you hear from ate again. Make no move tonight. I^t me feel that all your energies are devoted to securing my privacy." The sergeant, who had sprung to hte feet at the same instant as the judge, cast a last look about him, cu riosity burning in his heart and a aort of desperate desire to get all he could out of his present opportunity. F6* he felt absolutely sure that he would never be allowed to enter this room again. But the arrangement of light was SUPPLIES FOR THE SOLDIER Line of Communication Must Remain Intact In Order to Provide Army With Supplies. G«ueiai vrruiii said that when he IumI re-established railroad communi cation at Chattanooga and so brought food to hia starving army the soldiers called it the "cracker line."

What must the soldiers wear out when con- (ilfenUy marching over rough country? ] To teed "hiladeiphia requires daily Btany train-loads of provisions Coming in all directions. A soldier, like a citi- ' mh, must be fed. He needs clothes, 'MnnkefR; rifles, ammunition, and he ftquires them constantly. The "cracker line" is the line that connects the brmy with its own stores to the rear. That's why we hear so jnucb about outting the enemy's U&e such as to hold in shadow all but the central portion of the room. With a sigh the sergeant dropped his eyes from the walls he could barely distin guish and, following Judge Ostrander's lead, passed with him under the torn folds of the curtain and through the narrow vestibule whose door was made of iron, into the room where, in a stronger blase of light than they had left, lay the body of the dead negro awaiting the last rites.' Would the judge pass this body, or turn away from it toward a door lead ing front? The sergeant had come in at tile rear, but he greatly desired to go out front, as thi3 would give him so much additional knowledge of the house. Unexpectedly to himself tie judge's intentions were in the direc tion of his own wishes. He was led front; and, entering an old-fashioned hall dimly lighted, passed a staircase and two clo8e<i doors, both of which gave him the impression of having been shut upon a past it had pleasured no one to revive in many years. Beyond them was the great front door of colonial etyle and workman ship, a fine specimen once, but greatly disfigured now by the bolts and bars which had been added to it in satis faction of the judge's ideas of security. Many years had passed since Judge Ostrander had played the host; but he had not lost a sense of its obligations. It was for him to shoot the bolts and lift the bars; but he went about it so clumsily and with such evident aver sion to the task that the sergeant in stinctively sprang to help him. "I shall miss Bela at every turn," remarked the judge, turning with a sad emile as he finally pulled the door open. This is an unaccustomed effort for me. Excuse my awkwardness." Something in his attitude, something in the way he lifted his hand to push back a fallen lock from his forehead, impressed itself upon the sergeant's mind so vividly that he always re membered the judge as he appeared to him at that minute. Certainly there were but few men like him in the country, and none in his own town. Of a commanding personality by reason of his height, his features were of a cast to express his mental attributes and enforce attention, and the incongruity between his dominat ing figure and the apprehensions which he displayed in these multiplied and extraordinary arrangements for per sonal security was forcible enough to arouse any mail's interest. The sergeant was so occupied by the mystery of the man and the mystery of the house that they had passed the first gate (which the judge had un locked without much difficulty) before he realized that there still remained something of interest for him to see and to talk about later. The two dark openings on either side, raised ques tions which the most unimaginative mind would feel glad to hear explained. Ere the second gate swung open and he found himself again in the street he had built up more than one theory in explanation of this freak of parallel fences with the strip of gloom between. He would have felt the suggestion of the spot still more deeply had it been given him to see the anxious and hes itating figure which, immediately upon his departure entered this dark maxe, and with feeling hands and cautious step wound its way from corner to corner -- now stopping abruptly to listen, now shrinking from some imag inary presence--a shadow among shadows--till it stood again between the gates from which it had started. CHAPTER III. Across the Bridge. It was ten o'clock, not later, when the judge re-entered his front door, He was alone--absolutely alone, as he had never been since that night of long ago, when with the inner fence com pleted and the gates all locked, he turned to the great negro at his side and quietly said: . "We are done with the world, Bela. Are you satisfied to share this solitude with me?" And Bela had replied: "Night and day, your honor. And when you are not here--when you are at court, to bear it alone." And now thiB faithful friend was dead, and it was he who must bear it alone--alone! How could he face It! He sought for no answer, nor did he allow himBelf to dwell for one minute on the thought. There was something else he must do first--do this very night, if possible. Taking down his hat from the rack, he turned and went out again, this of communication. To cut such a line and keep it cut means starvation. But we had two spectacular instances in the Civil war where such lines were cut without' producing any particular results. Just prior to Gettysburg, Gen eral Stuart's Confederate cavalry rode entirely around the Union camp, cross ing its "cracker line" on the way. The following year Sheridan's troop ers made a complete circuit of Lee's agny in northern Virginia. Bpth these cavalry raids carried temporary terror to their foes, but neither was produo* tive of any permanent good. time care/ully tocking tne door behind him, also the first gate.' But he stopped to listen before lifting his hand to the second one. A sound of steady breathing, accom panied by a few Impatient movements, came from the other side. A man was posted there within a foot of the gate. Noiselessly the judge recoiled and made his way around to the other set of gates. Here all was quiet enough, and, sliding quickly out, he cast a hasty glance up and down the lane, and, seeing nothing more alarming than the back of a second officer loung ing at the corner, pulled the gate quietly to and locked it. He was well down the road toward the raviAe before the officer turned. The time has now come for giving you a clearer idea of this especial neighborhood. Judge Ostrander's house, situated at the juncture of an unimportant road with the main high way, had in its rear three small houses, two of them let and one still unrented. Farther on, but on the op posite side of the way, stood a very old dwelling, in which there lived and presumably worked a solitary woman, the sola and final survivor of a large family. Beyond was the ravine, cut ting across the road and terminating it. This ravine merits some descrip tion. It was a picturesque addition to the town through which it cut at the point of greatest activity. With the various bridges connecting the residence por tion with the lower business streets we have nothing to do. But there was a nearer one, of which the demands of this story necessitate a clear presenta tion. This bridge was called Long, and spanned the ravine and its shallow stream of water not a quarter of a mile below the short road or lane we have just seen Judge Ostrander enter. Between it and this lane, a narrow path ran amid the trees and bushes bor dering the ravine. This path was sel dom used, but when it was it acted as a short cut to a certain part of the town mostly given over to factories. Indeed the road of which this bridge formed a part was called Factory on this account. Starting from the main highway a half-mile or so below Os trander lane, it ran diagonally back to the bridge, where it received a turn Cast a Hasty Glance Up and Down the Lane. which sent it south and east again toward the lower town. A high bluff rose at this point, which made the far ther side of the ravine much more im posing than the one on the near side, where the slope was gradual. This path, and even the bridge itself, were almost wholly unllghted. They were seldom used at night--seldom used at any time. But it was by this route the judge elected to go into town; not for the pleasure of the -walk, as was very apparent from the ex treme depression of his manner, but from some inward necessity which drove him on, against his wishes, pos sibly against his secret misgivings. He had met no one in his short walk down the lane, but for all that he paused before entering the path just mentioned, to glance back and see if he were being watched or followed. When satisfied that he was not he looked up from the solitary waste where he stood, to the cheerless heav ens and sighed; then forward into the mass of Impenetrable shadow that he must yet traverse and shuddered as many another had shuddered ere be ginning this walk. For it was near the end of this path, in full sight of the bridge he must cross, that his friend, Algernon Etheridge, had been set upon and murdered so many years before; and the shadow 'of this ancient crime still lingered over the spot. Determined not to stop or to cast one faltering look to right or left, he hurried on with his eyes fixed upon "GUARDED" BY A CRAZY MAN >4)ound of Pleasure.! "Well," mused six-year-old Harry as he was being buttoned into"va clean white suit, "this has been an exciting week, haan't it. mother? Monday we went to the zoo. Wednesday 1 lost a tooth, Thursday was Lily's birthday party, Friday 1 was sick, yesterday I had my hair cut; and now her§ I turn rushing off to Sunday school!" ' „ Optimistic Thought.

When Frank Begosek, a Ravensdaie coal miner, was examined by a lunacy commission and found not insane, he was ordered sent to the county hos pital to recuperate for a few days. At the same time another patient from the jail was found insane and ordered to Steilacoom. The deputy sheriff tn charge Cf the' two prisoners misunderstood the or ders and reported to the jail officials that both men were "crazy" and had been ordered to Steilacoom. So Begosek was packed off to the asy lum -vlthout protest. Later Deputy Sheriff John Cudihee went after him and tucked him in th^ county hos pital. \ Begosek was perfectly good humored about it. They had burned his clothes at Steilacoom and allotted Mm a new suit and a pair of shces, an4 he will go home fitted out for the wihter. "St la * very good place,land the the ground and every nerve braced to resist the influence of the place and Its undying memories. But with the striking of his foot against the boards of the bridge nature was too much for hl'm, and his resolve vanished. In- stead of hastening on he stopped, and, having stopped, paused long enough to take in all the features of the scene and any changes which time might have wrought. He even forced his shrinking eyes to turn and gaze upon the exact spot where his beloved Al gernon had been found, with his sight* less eyes turned to the sky. This latter place, singular in that it lay open to the opposite bank without the iqask of bush or tree to hide it, was in Immediate proximity to the end of the bridge he had attempted to croes. It bore the name of Dark Hol low, and hollow and dark it looked in the universal gloom. 13ut the power of its associations was upon him, and be fore he knew it he was retracing his steps as though drawn by a magnet- ism he could not resist, till he stood within this hollow and possibly on the very fodt of ground from the mere memory of which he had recoiled for years. A moment of contemplation--a sight euch as only escapes the bursting heart In moments of extreme grief of desola tion--and he tore his eyes from the ground to raise them slowly but with deep meaning, to something which rose from the brow of the hill in stark and curious outline not explainable in- itself, but clear enough to one who had seen its shape by daylight. Judge Ostrander had thus seen it many times in the past, and knew just where to look for the one remaining chimney and solitary gable of a house struck many years before by lightning and left a grinning shell to mock the eye of all who walked this path or crossed this bridge. Black amid blackness, with just the contrast of its straight lines to the curve of natural objects about It, it commanded the bluff, summoning up memories of an evil race cut short In a moment by an outraged Providence, and Judge Ostrander, marking it, found himself muttering aloud as he dragged himself slowly away: "Why should Time, BO destructive elsewhere, leave one stone upon another of this accursed ruin ?" When he had reached the middle of the bridge he stopped short to look back at Dark Hollow and utter in a smothered groan, which would not be repressed, a name which by all the rights of the spot should have been Algernon's, but was not. The utterance of this name seemed to startle him, for, with a shuddering look around, he hastily traversed the rest of the bridge and took the turn about the hill to where Factory road branched off toward the town. Here he stopped again and for the first time revealed the true nature of his desti nation. For when he moved on again It was to take the road along the bluff, and not the one leading directly into town. This mean a speedy passing by the lightning-struck house. He knew, of course, and evidently shrank from the ordeal, for once up the hill and on the level stretch above, he resolutely for bore to cast a glance at its dilapidated fence and decayed gate posts. Had he not done this--had his eyes fol lowed the long line of the path lead ing from these toppling posts to the face of the ruin, he would have been witness to a strangfe sight. For gleam ing through the demolished heart of it--between the chimney on the one side and the broken line of* the gable on the other--could be seen the half- circle of the moon suddenly released from the clouds which had hitherto enshrouded it. A weird sight, to be seen only when all conditions favored. It was to be seen here tonight; but the judge's eye was bent another way, and he passed on, unnoting. The ground was high along this bluff; almost fifty feet above the level of the city upon which he had just turned his back. Of stony formation and much exposed to the elements, It had been considered an undesirable site by builders, and not a house was to be seen between the broken shell of the one he had just left, and the long, low, brilliantly illuminated structure ahead, for which he was evidently making. The pant of a dozen motors, the shouting of various farewells and then the sudden rushing forth of a long line of automobiles proclaimed that the fete of the day was about over and that peace and order would soon pre vail again in Claymore Inn. ? Without waiting for the final one to pass, the judge slid around to the rear and peered in at the kitchen door. Three women were at work In this busiest of scenes, and the three wom en's heads came simultaneously to gether. There was reason for their whispers. His figure, his head, his face were all unusual, and at that mo ment highly expressive, and coming as he did out of the darkness, his presence had an uncanny effect upon their simple minds. They had been laughing before; they ceased to laugh now. Why? (TO BE CONTINUED.) meals are plenty," said Begosek la conically, referring to Steilacoom. "Begosek is entitled to the prize as tho best-natured man in the world," •aid the guard. "When he went over, the real 'nut' vith him imagined hi ss'f entirely sane and insisted on talc ing charge of Begosek and the dep uty in charge humored htm. So the sane man went to the asylum in charge of the crazy man, and there was never a hard word between them."--Seattlo Post-Intelligencer. Jl ' i- --- • ^ Caesar Met Check on Yter.

As It to always a bit dlfBfetx!tvtO range for between-season frocks and suits, the best plan to follow Is to se lect designs as up-to-date as possible, so that there will be no danger of them going out of style too soon, writes Lillian E. Young in the Wash ington Star. Then, if there should happen to be fur trimmings, be sure that they are so arranged that they may be removed when spring comes. The shops are showing many modish CuMrlmmed garments, which later in This 8uit 8hows Remarkable Fur Trimmings. the season may graduate from winter service to spring; in fact, many of the very new light-cloth suits show re movable fur collars and cuffs of band ings. The illustrated model is particularly commendable for between-season serv ice, made up in olive green Tipperary cloth with skunk band trimmings. The coatlike blouse fastens in back. It must be cut in the form of a loose hip-length skirt, slashed to the bust line at either side of the front to form a sort of panel that is pouched over the waist line. The material at the sides is then draped up under the slashes until the lower fur-bound edge is even with the pouching of the panel. This only applies to the front, how ever, for the fur-bordered edge de scribes a slanting line toward the back, where the length of the blouse is unbroken. Long sleeves are fin ished with turn-back cuffs of cream colored grosgrain silk. There ia an upBtanding military collar of the same. The skirt is in two parts. The un der one consists merely of a gathered portion extending from hip to -hip, its length broken by a false yoke seam running several Inches below the belt. The back of this underskirt can be of satin or taffeta, for it is completely covered by the tunic. The tunic is full length across the entire back, but from the sides slants upward toward the center. It is slashed through the center and turned hack over either hip, with juBt that turned-back portion bordered with fur at the bottom. Later on in the season, wt*en the warmer weather makes one tire of fur trimmiDgs, the fur may be removed and an attractive change made by add ing sand-colored faille collar and cuffs, which color combines beautifully with the olive green. ' TO ACQUIRE SHAPELY ANKLES In These Days of the 8*iort Skirt Its Possession Is Something Greatly to Be Desired. There used to be a time when our dresses, or at least the dresses of our mothers, reached to the floor, or so nearly so that brush braid or coarse binding on the bottom hem was nec- esary to preserve the fabric. In those days, if the tiniest bit of a feminine ankle showed above the shoetop it was a cue for a woman to blush. Praise be, these conditions do not hold today. What with our hobble skirts, slit skirts, tight skirts, short skirts and now short circular skirts, we have become accustomed to dis playing our ankleB. Woman's right to the possession of ankles has finally been recognized, consequently pretty ankles are greatly to be desired, as they add to one's general appearance --and beauty is indeed a duty. To improve the shapeliness of ankles, exercise and massage will do won ders. It will be found that most ankles which are unattractive, or not quite so shapely as the possessor might wish, either lack sufficient flesh or else are too fleshy. If your ankles are a little stout you can reduce them in a month, or two months at the most, by means of a little exercise ten minutes morning and night Remove the shoes and stockings and cross the knees so that the support is removed from one ankle. Thrust out the foot and move it around from the ankle in a twisting motion, then bend it up and down, making sure that all this is done with the ankle bone. When one foot be comes tired shift position and exer cise the other ankle.--C. Eleanor Mather in New York Press. Perspiring hands indicate sluggish circulation and nervousness.

Every woman needsa several cases for protecting dainty chiffon blouses or separate lace waists. Where such waists are made of soft and very plia ble materials they may be laid away in cases or boxes, but with many fab rics their fresh, uncrumpled look is best preserved by hanging the waist on a wire hanger and protecting it from the dust by a thin slip cover of Bwiss or lawn. A yard and a half of figured material is enough to make a protector. Fold together, make a slit at the center of the fold about an inch long through which the wire hook may be slipped. Seam up the sides and hem the two ends. Attach' ribbons at both ends of the two hems so that the inverted bag can be tied together. SOME ORNAMENTS OF RIBBON Many Besides Tnose Described Here Will 8uggest Themselves to the Woman of Taste. A modified Greek band is caught and held by white ribbon. Three narrow wires are covered with ribbon by wind ing" it around from end to end. These bands are held at the ends by a full rosette of the white ribbon. That is all. but a classic line is added to the youthful side pieces, and this orna- nient is fit to grace any girlish head. What can be more attractive than tiny pink rosebuis peeping from the dark coils of hair at the back of the head? A narrow cover wire crosses at the top. On each side is a large rose of pink rltbon, and twined around In a graceful line at the nape of the neck ar' rosebuds, made of narrow ribbon. They are hidden in some places by green artinciai ieaven. Sweet peas in a soft cluster at the ride give a youthful ornament for the hair.

FASHION'S FANCY FOR SILK Material Is Employed to a Greater Ex* tent Than It Has Been for Many Seasons; While one's attention is centered upon cotton, one must not lose sight of silks. They occupy a very prominent place in the wardrobe of the up-to- date woman. All dresses intended for afternoon functions are made of silk. Delicate voiles or ottomans, soft taf fetas, Bilk velvets and wool velour are all used in developing these dressy frocks. Distinctive effects may be ob tained by combining these materials with gold-embroidered chiffon. Jet, pearls, or adding to them bands of fur, such as skunk, sable, ermine and the popular ape skin. The evening dresses of this season are not so rich and daring as those of last winter, but in many ways they are more pleasing. The textures are ex- quisitft; reminiscent of the lovely fab rics of the days of the Italian renais sance.^ There are soft gold and silver brocadeB, delicate taffetas, thin lace drawn through with metal threadt and crystal and jet embroidered chiffons and tulles.
