DAVICS OGDEN The big flower filled drawing room was brilliant with afternoon sunshine. Through the open window came the ound of the trot of horses' feet aa they passed on the broad "I'nter don Linden." Ransome Prentice looked about htm with a sigh of satisfaction. It was good to be back in Berlin. Then he smiled at the girl who was handing him a cup of tea. "So here I ara at last." he said. "And. now, tell me the news. Tou left Amer ica so suddenly that I had no chance to come and bid you goodby. How do you like your elevation to the rank of ambassador's daughter? And has any. thing exciting happened thus far? You ee, I had to follow Just to hear It all." The girl hesitated, playing with spoons on the dainty tea table. There It not much to ell." she an- i swered slowly.

There was dauger then real danger. From the box came the driver's voice In frnu Uc abjurgatlou to the now thoroughly frightened auliuals. Miss Freeman turued toward Vou WeUleben, "Max." she whispered. But the Her man, his face ashy, his eyes flxad and staring, sat with strnlned Angers clutching at the wooden door. He had quite forgotten the girl. A little sob broke from her parted lips. Were, they going to die? A strong hand closed over ners, ana, opening ner eyes. tnrougb the smoke she saw Itansotue, toady, calm, self controlled. "We shall pull through all right." hs said. "Don't be frightened, dear." Ths girl, conscious only of the won! which had slipped inadvertently from his lips, caught her breath In the sudden shock of a great revelation. Ransome loved her Ransome! All at once she comprehended why tin1" was mat one nau iiesiuteu to an nounce her engagement until Ransome ' should learn f It. why it was that she had Judged Von Wluloben from Ran some's standpoint rather than ber own. appreciated that It had been the fact of his Intimacy with Ransome which had boon his chief attraction and how near she hail been to never knowing. Now at last. In this sunremc moment, she grasped the truth; knew that even as Ransome loved her. so she loved hira. And whether death or life lay before them, with that knowledge in her heart, that touch on her hand, she was content. And then with one strong, mighty pull from above the horses trembled C. J.

"I have not seen 'Buffalo Bill' since I was a child. They sent father a box, but he does not care to go, and I had not thought about It Suppose yon come with us. I will ask Max, and we can take Frau leln." A few minutes later Prentice rose to take bis leave, and It was not until after hla departure that Miss Freeman remembered that he had forgotten to congratulate her. For the rest of the day the girl was decidedly absent minded. But the next afternoon, seated In the box of honor In the big open air arena, MIm Freeman appeared to have quite regained bar normal spirits, chattering gayly with both men. Von Wltsleben, precise, naat, with parted hair and pointed mustache, sat on her right and the girl glanced critically from his somewhat Impassive face to that of the American, with Its keen dark eyes and steady, clean cut mouth. The study of the two men was more absorb- j ing than the show. Her attention bad wandered from the ring and the flour ish of trumpets which heralded the Doadwood coach caused her to start. The npxt moment a man pushed his wny to their box and bowed. I "Colonel Cody would be honored if j any of the American ambassador's i guests would wish to ride In the Pond i wood coiich," the man suggested cour ! teously. Miss Freeman, in sudden mls I chief, looked at her fiance. "What do you sy to It?" she queried : demurely. The fierman gazed back in horrified disapproval, i "You go around In that couch and j make a spectacle of yourself," he 1 gasped, "before all these people! A ber, what a shocking idea: I could not al ' low It." Into the girl's eyes there came a sud : den gleam. She had not meant to do j this tiling. But ever since her spoiled babyhood a dare had been to her spirit , like Are to gunpowder. Hhe lifted ber : head. I "Thank you. We shall be glad to ae I cept," she said to the man, who still I stood, hat In hand, awaiting her deci j sion. "If you are afraid, pray remain i here," she added defiantly to Von Wit ; Ziehen. "Will you come, Itansoine?" ' "But" boKan he. One glance at her j set mouth showed the futility of re ; monstrance. And wherever she called 1 he would follow, be the consequences I what they might. In silence he let her I precede him down the steps. Von Wlt j zU-lifeii bringing up a sullen rear. The ' frauMn left behind wept in unheeded protest. I It was not until the coach bad fairly ! started that Miss Freeman realized all that she had brought upon herself. From her childhood she bad always detestwl flroarpis. And these pursuing Indians! But, without flinching, shf bore it all the crack of rifles, the moke which choked eyes and moi.tli, the fiendish yells. Then all at once she became conscious that the coach was swaying and bumping strangely. A man sitting opposite her suppressed an oath. "1 t'jiiL JliJJ to exercise them horses," mlt of the K'rent, clumsy fur things which they had been making them selves hideous in all winter. One coat finally chosen by a lady (whose bus band upset the machine before he reached Palm Beach. I read In the pa pers) was long, reaching quite an Inch below the bottom of her skirt. The material was thick iTavenette. such as is used In men's rain coats. This was almost shapeless and belted In at the back. Down the front there was a wide plastron of line dressed leather. It was so arranged that It could be left off If not needed, as It buttoned on both sides all the way down. This, I suppose, Is to protect the chest. Over the shoulders Is a cape made of the leather and a capuchin hood, which can be drawn up over the cap. If there Is a more unbecoming thing for a woman than one of these caps I do not know what It Is, and. aliove all, when the hood Is brought up over the peak, leav ing the crown t stick out like a mush room. And, as If this were nut enough, there are about six veils nil available to add to the structure. No, woman is not beautiful In an automobile suit. The other suit had a really pretty dress of soft gray cloth, with a coat of the same that reached to the knees lined with Siberian squirrel. The big sleeves had deep velvet cuffs to catch and hold the dust, while there was a horribly ugly hood with a sh'irt cape, and then a long one below made of gray craveuette also. This was lined with silk, I think. The object was to have the rain proof cape cover and pro tect the shoulders. Now, I like to see lovely woman look lovely always, and that is why I see no beauty In auto- moblling costumes. I noted with pleasure that among the reauy elegant outdoor coats the new redingote, which has been revived for the coming spring. This always grace ful garment is made coat shaped In the back, having exactly the finish of a Stsrthnj Mortality. Statistics show startling moriiillty from appendicitis and peritonitis.
