And if ever this time of anxiety, this government raiding was safely over, Hube Patton knew that it would not be long before they should understand each other in words as well. No, Dru- sills was safe; she would not betray him. He stayed an hour longer lounging in the doorway, watching her bake pone in the ashes of the chimney. Whey said very little. But Drusilla was happy. When the sun began to forsake the valleys far below he turned away and betook his steps to a trail leading vaguely up through the thick wood back of the cabin. He did not go very far. The cave up there in the mountain side had been very near, had those men in the afternoon bat known it. Drusilla was happy. Nevertheless she did not sleep much that night. Rube had taken the news that the revenue men were on his track quietly enough upon the whole, but Drusilla felt danger close upon her in the very air that swept stilly laden with the bal- sammie odors of these altitudes about the silent cabin. And suddenly there was silence no longer. Drusilla, who had fallen at last into a fitful sleep, sat up with a convie- tion of the worst. The report of rifles rang sharply through the night. It was dark, save for faint starlight. She crept to the cabin door, but could see nothing. Up there at the still there was fight- ing. "The raid bad been made.

There was a curiosity to see this girl, Alas! poor Drusilla. Haggard-eved and white, such beauty as she had had was quite obscured now. The erowd of loungers in the body of the hall stared, listened to the proceed- ings, and expectorated placidly in turn. The lawvers objected and wrangled among themselves, People cume in and others, growing tired, went out. Lan riant looked at the girl's set face under the poor little faded straw hat and won- dered what was going on within her, In truth Drusilla scarcely heard, scarcely saw aught of what was passing in the dingy room. The deposition of witnesses as to her past character, the speeches of the lawyers, all this reached her vaguely, as through the mists of a dream. She seemed to herself to have been in a dream ever since that dark and dreadful night, when she had seized the rifle she and her old grandmother kept for protection and had rushed blindly out and up toward the cave, She had but one idea then—one had crazy, unreasoned impulse; to save And evidently she had : I'he rifle she held shiners had been caught with firearms And close at her feet lay the man who had been shot.

Drusilla was stand- ing again at the door, grave-eyed and calm #8 before. The old grandmother gat at the corner of the chimney within, smoking a pipe. A strong impulse had brought Lauri- at thus far. He was going back again on the following day, and this ride had earried him many miles out of his way. But the girl's face as she had confessed her love for the young mountaineer, and showed herself ready to take the penalty she supposed that he had incurred upon herse, had haunted Lauriat's fancy ever since. Now he scarcely knew what to say to her. She looked up at him recogniz- ingly with her soft, deep eyes and brought him some fresh water to drink in a gourd. She had dropped back quietly; undramatically into ber quiet life, as undramatic as that of the wild flowers that enamelled these mountain sides in the spring. Rube Patton's sentence had been Hght—Sightor than any other of the captured moonshiners. Popular feeling had run very high in favor of the lovers. In a few months he would be set at liberty and riad, And meantime Drusilla waited grave- ly, happily and in a chastened dream of gratitude, rapture, uneonscions of any heroism in what she had done, and the Inst glimpse of her sweet pensive gaze, of her slight figure in the doorway, with the little blue sunbonnet, remained in Lauriat's memory for many along day as the symbol of one of the strong- est impressions he had ever received. - New York Mercury. sr 14555 KICKED INTO WEALTH. ———————— How a Thrifty Mechanic Got Even With Millionaire Crocker. “Speaking of cobles,’” said a man on a ferry boat in San Francisco, *‘reminds me of a good one I heard recently on the late Charles Crocker.

A few large but- tons, very beautiful and costly, finish some of the most severely tailor-made dresses. The polonaise, with broad panels fall- ing to the hem of the skirt in the back and over the hips, makes an excellent roundwork for embroidery. Very rich designs and exquisite handiwork are seen on many of these promenade cos- tumes, One in silky green cloth shows a feathery fern effect in fine black silk braid. The ferns shoot upward on the panels and front of the skirt, torm in a pointed vest on the tight-fitting waist, and are used in connection with close rows of black braid laid on in perpen- dicular lines. Another in seal brown bas a rich Per- sian border on the skirt, A cutaway cont opens on & vest of the same em- broidery. The coat is confined at the top by a large medallion button. Gowns of this style give more stateli- ness to a woman whose inches are many. For small women whether stout or slender, they are too heavy and impos- ing. Lighter materials with soft, sim ple drapery are more siitable, and perhaps nothing is so pleasing and graceful as the Greek drapery shown in the cat. Here it is used on a dinner dress with scroll trimmings in silver braid and silver cord about the waist. But the drapery makes up well in the dark shades of cashmere for the street.
