FASHION NOTES FOR MID

characteristic of both the newest

yor as an a!
bodice is evinced

modes exhibited. ,
For general summer wear there is
no more servicable as well as fashion- j
t
able garment than the shirt waist j
dress fashioned from foulard, tiinVlu,
Hingee, linen, pique or one of the nu
merous lawns or ginghams.
Fancy waists continue to exhibit the
closing at the tack.
A white gowu of some soft sheer
fabric is practically iudisiH-nsable for
wear at garden imrties, afternoon teas
etc.
Neckwear iB demanding an unusual
amount of attention ; a recent caprice
is to have the ruff match the gown in
color and the introduction of rosebuds
irives a prcuy iciucn
Chiffon, Lils-r-
ty silk, plain and embroidered nets,
and soft fabrics generally are much in
demand.
Tho taffeta coat is ackuowlegi d to
be one of the smartest wraps of the
season.
Shirring is seen on many of the pret
ty new f ris ks for juveniles.
Irish lace is at present the lender
ill the fashionable laces; scpnmtc
waists are embellished with it and
entire gowns evolved from it. For
linen and other wash gowns nothing
is handsomer than the yoke, sleeve and
collar decoration of this lace.
Dainty roses of chiffon and ribbrn
are much used lor oress aim ciuenne
ornainentatioii. These roses may be
asily made by a clever needlewoman.
The one sis-cial note of color in

Fourth of July tin-crackers together.
The former sinned to know how to
do almost everything, from construct
ing a big kite to sailing a boat; bo,
whin the Wiltons decidid to take a
fi.rtniL'hf. trin to the Whue moun
tains, und were compelled to shut up
their house meantime, as the scrum
unexpectedly left in a body, it was
unite natural that Tom
J-'red to keep-n eye on it.
"You remember how angry that Eng
lish coachman wan when father dis
charged him last week?" he hurried!)
explained, jmt before the train left.
-Well, lie might hear in some way
about our all going off, and, all hougl

l'.iit u' that moment tlie cars moveu
nit, and Tom had to run for thcin.
1'reil, however, fully comprehended
what was required of lum. and re
ived to prove himself worthy of the
trust.
His mother being a widow, he had
r the vast two years been "man of
the house" at home, and. indeed, Ii is
height ::i.d weight combined were cai-
ulutcd to keep small boys very re
spectful in his presence.
As soon as he had seen lom sateij
gain the rear platform of the Inst car.
Fred walked back to the cottages,
which stond apart from the other
houses in the village, the Wilton' be
ing bounded on one side by a wood.
There was neither fence nor hedge
to separate the grouiuis from ttie .p
nlebvs' and after making sure that
every shutter ftnil ueen closed, i reu
strode back across the lawn to his own
piazza.
l hcv might almost as well be open
though," he rcllected. "as all one has
to do is to slip his hngi rs through the
slats and lift the latch. They ought to
have nailed them up as they do in the
winter: but stop! I (ion t believe a
man could get his hand in. So I won't
worry about that point of approach.
Three times every day Fre 1 walked
around Ihe cottage, which always
stared buck at him with the same
closed, inhospitable air, and at the
end nf a week he concluded ttiat the
wrathful coachman must have forgot
ten all about the Wiltons and Lake
licach. However, he still kept up his
careful daily inspection of the prem
ises, thereby winning from his mother
and sister the title of "the young
guardsman
One dav, just before lunch, he caught
up the baseball bat he always carried
on these occasions, and started on his
noon patrol. As he crossed the divid
ing line between the grounds, he dis
tinctly heard a shutter slam in the ili
rection of the Wiltons' dining-room
and ipiickening his steps, he rounded
the corner of the wing in time to see
the body and legs of a man dangling
from a window on the ground lloor. his
head and arms being ulready inside.
"Caught in the act !" exclaimed Fred
under his breath, as lie dashed forward
and fearlessly grasped the burglar
ennt with one hand, dropped the sash
with the i.llier. and then held his man
down under it with both

to the former anil skiPfully managed
to avoid the latter; however, now that
he had captured his man. like a good
many other peonlc similariv situated
he did not know what to do wiih him.
He could not stand there holding his
prisoner under the window- for an ii
iletinite pel mil. and yet he did not like
to relea-c him. for fear he h-iuld prove
to be stronger than himself; as it was

vantage, ami Fred finally decided

help.
I'ut on whom should he call? There

And at the same i. slant Miss Maud

Hut Fred culled her back, and toid
her to bring him a piece ol rope as
quickly ns possible.
She vanjshed at once, ana men m iKe
npjM'ared on the scene.
Speedily breaking in upon all the old

Fred briclly explain! d how he had cap

"No, Mike. I don't want any violence
used if it can be helped. The fellow's
piite young, you see, and may be re
formed yet. Hut here comes my sister
with the rope."
And Fred dcxtrously caught the
clothesline .Maud threw him at a safe
distimcc. where she hud taken up a
post of observation in eon-puny with
Mrs. Applcbv; who was full of cor.-.mis-
seration for the prisoner, eoupicd wiih
entreaties to her son to be careful and
not break his back with the window
sash.
Now, Mike, you hold his legs while
I raise the window and slip this noose
around his ImuIv."
Oh. do look out, Fred," cried Maud
nt this j oint, "or it -will catch about
his neck ami hang him!
An'shure. 't. ould only be a bit afore
his toime," declared Mike.
Fred continued:
"Are you ready, there? Hold him
tight now."
And the window shot up, the noose
went in, and the next moment 1-Yed and
his prisoner were brought face to face.
Why, how very respectable-looking
lie is!" whisperid Maud to her n-.othcr.
"What a shame!" said .Mis. Appleby.
I wonder if he can't be sent to a port
of reformatory school, instead of to
jail?"
And, indeed, the burglar was quite
a handsome youth, very neatly dressed.
Hut how angry he was to think he had
been caught.
"What authority have you here, I
would like to know?" he demanded of
Fred, slashing about him nt such a rate

"Ha, ha! a likely story!" laughed

"One moment first." interposed the
thief, m n more conciliating tone. "If
you'll just unbind mv arms a second

"Which one?" nsked Fred. "I prefer

Dr. Tierce's Golden Mcdiual Discovery.
It cures diseases of the stomach, and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in a disease! k
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. lieu the stomach is wean
there is a fa. lure to properly digest and
assimilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole IkmIv, and each organ
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as a consequence of "weak "stom
ach, there may be "weak" lungs, "weak"
heart, "weak" or torpid liver, 'ieak"
nerves, etc. Hy curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, "Golden Medical Discov
ery" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirement!
of a healthy body. It increases the ac
tivity of tlie blood-maUing glands, and
so increases the supply of blcxxl which
is the vital fluid of the'liodv.
There is no alcohol in the " Discovery"
and it is entirely free from opium, co
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people esH-cially those
suffering from disease in its chronic fonn
are invited to consult Dr. Tierce by letter
free. All corresiwudence is held
strictly private anil sacredlv confidential.
