Ho had fenced In about ten acres which he called a "park." built a queer kind of a cottage which he called a "bunga low." and set about leading a nonde script sort of frontier life that wag at variance with all the traditions and utilities of the region. His ranch, which lay along the wooded margin of the river, was more of a game preserve than a farm, for the owner knew as lit tle as he cared about agriculture. He conformed to Western methods only in the matter of weapons, for he was an Inveterate hunter, and if not a crack shot at least skilful euougb to keep his bachelor table supplied with fresh meat. His household consisted on one Chinese servant and an old half-breed squaw.

Every man and boy who could ride and shoot had rallied round Mike Connors except Wilcester. He didn't tipprove of the summary meth ods of Western justice, and us the man bunt progressed and from week to week he heard the new stories of lynch lugs he even congratulated himself that he wus no party to the deeds of bloody violence which characterized the work of the vigilantes. A few took Wilcester at his word und voted him a "chump." but most peupl? agreed that he was a coward as well as a "sanctimonious dude." By dint of fierce and swift forays, ceaseless vigilance and all-night rides Connors and his lynchers had neckiied or imprisoned all of Whelan's gang ex cept the leuder and one man. Chucky Creeu, and fie two survivors, exhaust ed by continual riding, their horses al most foundered, but yet desperate, were heading eustward toward Wilees ter's "villa." not more than twelve hours ahead of their pursuers. But fortune was favoring them, for In the flight the dry spell was broken, a gen erous rain put water Into the dry bed of the Clmurrou. aud with the iirstiuct of trained frontiersmen they resolved fc strike foi the shullow river, which could leave uo trail, and so give Con nors and his vigilantes the slip. But to this end they must have fresh horses, so they beaded for the English man's ranch, equally sure that he had good horses and would yield them with out Oght.

They laughed and told liiin to go ahead with his meal, but Green kept him "covered" while Whelan gorged himself nnd the leader stood guard while his lieutenant charged at th? fine victuals like a hun gry hound. The Chinaman had dropped his dish and fled, but the intruders knew that the nearest ranch was twen ty miles up stream and regaled them selves in safety. An hour after tbelr coining Wilcester watched thein riding away on his two best horses afte breuklng all the weapons they could not carry and dumping all the surplus ammunition Into the river. Darkness was settling over the foggy river when the outlaws urged their stolen nnlinuls knee deep Into Uie current and Whelan, turning back with a grimace at the crestfallen Wilcester, put his thumb to his nose and shouted: "Ta-ta. Silly Willy:" The tears, were in the young English man's eyes ag he wandered about the place looking for his servants. He called long and loudly for them, but his voice echoed vainly through the night. He went to the stable, led out a horse, threw a saddle across It, nnd ns he pulled taut the cinch muttered: "The outrageous feliows! If they'd but left nie a gun." Then h threw a long leg across his nervous horse and darted away into the night toward the east, not in the bed of the river, but on the sodden trail that led away through the Cottonwood timber. It was nearly noon the r.ext day when Coiiuofs nnd his posse arrived at Wilcester' villa, whither they hud fol lowed the tracks of the fugitives. From the disjointed sentences of the scared Chinaman they knew that the outlaw had been there, hud looted the place and probably taken the Englishman a prisoner. But neither the squaw nor tbe coolie could tell which way the run aways had taken. The vigilantes had fed themselves and their famished horses and were saddling in the corral when up through the widening roud that led out of the woods into the "park" thy saw Wilcester filling slow ly ufier Chuck Green, the latter uu armed. bis bvad bowed as in bhaine and the Englishman holding a ready rifle across bis saddle bow. The ex cited posseiuen, like beagles ufter a fox, rushed out at the prisoner and would have made a quick eud of him If Wilcester hud not Interfered wlih: "Aw, I say, don't be ugiy, gentlemen: II?'s quite tractable." "But how In the name of common sense did you get him?" growled the Jealous Connors, coming up. "You didn't do It alone; you must have " "Just a bit of stutegy, my man." drawled Cecil, dismounting.

"And where Is he?" chorused the crowd, all rmiiiuig for their horses, except those who heid the scowllug, silent, sullen Green and Wilcester, who was now pulling his pipe.

THE WOMEN CF JAPAN, Improvement la Tbelr Condition the f-f-feot of Western Civilisation, The place occupied by woman In all far Eastern lands is, Id general, well known. In Japuu, however, for the largest part of Its history, woninn has not 1eeu quite tbe soclul zero or slave she has been In India, Slam, China, or Korea. Indeed, la ancient times und until about !( years ago, the Japanese woman stood comparatively high, not only as wife nnd mother and compan ion In the home, but as scholar, writer, artist nnd ndvlser in business, and even in affairs of state. It Is remarkable that Iu the early classics of Japanese literature the names of women nie among those of the leaders lu both prose and poetry. Colli Hie thirteenth century their social relutious were In great degree uuconstrulucd, and they were graced, along with domestic knowledge, by many of the highest attainments In refined learning In his tory, poetry, fiction and religious lore, nnd In artistic skill. The chance, to be deplored, that at length befell womau's position, took place chiefly in conse quence of the universal civil wars that devastated the empire from the thir teenth to the seventeenth centuries, nnd the dominance during the latter part of Japan's middle ages of the social regulations of the Chinese age uf Confucius. With the acceptance of Confucianism by the upper and ruling classes about three centuries ago, the Japanese wom an sank almost out of sight as a social factor everywhere outside the home; nnd so she remained until the present period of the general political, religious, scientific and social revivification of the people under the influence of the dvilizution of Christendom. I can best illustrate woman's position during the 250 years of the Takugawa Shoguunte. the age Just preceding the recent restoration of the Emperor to active sovereignty, by a few quotations from the "Greater Learning for Wom en," the code most widely accepted as regulative of womau's place aud con duct. "Peeing that It Is a girl's destiny on reaching womanhood," says the Onna Dalgaku, "to go to a new home and live iu submission to her father-in-law and" mother-lu-lnw, it is even more incumbent on her than it is on a boy to receive with all reverence her parents' Instructions." "The only qualities that befit a woman are gentle obedience, chastity, mercy and quia; ness." "After her marriage her chief duty is to honor her father-in-law und tier mother-in-law to honor them even be yond her own father and mother- to love and reverence them with all ador, nnd to tend liieni with every prtctice of filial piety." "A woman mutt look to her husband as her lord" or, as another code expresses it, "as her only hgaven to look up to" "and must serve him with all worship and reverence." "Her lifelong duty Is obedi ;nce." Mu :h else Is enjoined In this code, but oily in like tone, concerning wom an's relations, which ure exclusively those of daughtci, ."e and mother. The closing Injunction reo: "Par ents, teac'j the foregoing maxims to your daughters from their tenderest year. Copy them out from time to tim;, that they may read and never forget them." jJut during the past flftv years, un der the beneficent in .'eas of the in fluences of Western civilhvtiou, im portant changes, Jus- now iiecoming strongly marked, hao begun to tiffeC. tLi degrading sociul condition. It cr.n not be said that tbese changes nave as yet been very -widely operative. Japanese society Is still greatly bound by tbe code of Confucius. Outside the capital and some of the chief commer cial centres women btill remain ig norant of what you and I consider their essential worth. They are de prived of the sense of psracaal freedom and tbe self-reliance necessary for their own best welfare aud for the best development of b jzuau society, of which they ere parts, co-ordinate with men.

Lace edges, tucks galore, ap plique, ruches are to be found In pro fusion, but for tbe most purt edges are finished without frills. Black and white, white, pompadour nnd flowered silk, lace, chiffon and batiste are all lu vogue and are used In Innumerable ways, the Wushlngtou Post declares. The good old standby, the coaching umbrella. Is here, as It Is each year, and without noticeable change, but In silks of exquisite color. Those who can utford the luxury buy purusols, as they do gloves, for each and every gown, and to such the lovely pale pinks, blues, all alike appeal with pe culiar charm. Less fortunate but more numerous mortals are content with one or two, and buy wlih greater discre tion, choosing more durable colors. To these last the quieter shades, dark blue and the like, appeal more keenly than the perishable silks, how ever charming they may appear, but for all colors, the favorite handle Is tbe simple one of natural wood, in club style, tied with a strip of the silk and are quite plain. Pompadour stripes nre favorites and are exceedingly ef fective, as well at serviceable, for tbe reason that they harmonize with many gowns. Warp printed floral designs al so are popular for much the same rea son. Made quite tintrlinmed and with handles of natural wood or enamel, they ere simple enough for a tailored gown, yet allowable with nn after noon costume or a dainty summer gown. The Correct Coiffure, At the recent International competi tion of modern buirdresslug, held In London, the "negligee col.Ture was al most unrepresented. Studied and sym metrical dressings were the rule, nnd mure than one dressing was hopelessly spoiled by a profusion of ornamenta tion." The prize offered by the French ambassador was awarded to an Eng lishman, who "adopted a low dressing, as did nearly every other competitor, and an indefinite Marcel wave was sparingly used. The hair in front was slightly parted to the left, and puffed rather full to each side. Mar ten u curls fitted closely on either side of a figure 8 that narrowed on to tbe neck. Hide ornaments of tortoise shell and a high comb at tbe back and a short spray of geraniums In tbe front heightened the effect of the coiffure, whlcb appeared less studied, and yet more finished than the rest." Hairdressers are scarcely to be blamed for a lavish use of combs and ornaments, since they look to the sale of these articles for some of tbe profits of their trade a brnnch which tie wearing of flowers, real nnd artificial, had considerably lessened. We huve already returned to the fashion of Jeweled com'ot and ornaments, but nothing will ever suit the young face as well as the simple wreath of flow ers. New York Commerclul Adver tiser.

We roust have them half bidden or veiled. For some years frills of chiffon and tlv? like have been nttnehed to the under side of lovely evening dresses, but now we have added tbe bat and the parasol. Many a lovely hat has absolutely no trimming above tbe brim, whatever there is of frills and flowers being tucked coquettlshly un derneath. Same way with some of the lovely parasols. They are to plain and unassuming that one is much surprised upon peeping underneath to find a veritable forest of frills, especially fine sbirrlngs. A Combination. Dresses of embroidered batiste are lovely. Fiir real service they are com bined with plain batiste. Otherwise they nre made up with chiffon.
