9ic Easiest Way toKeepinbtyle No woman would wear dresses, or blouses, or stockings of a color that's decidedly out of style or faded. If oil of us knew how easy It Is to make things fresh, crisp and stylish by the quirk magic of home tinting or dyeing. Anybody can tint or dye successful ly with true, fadeless Diamond Dyes. Tinting with them Is as easy as bluing, and dyeing takes just a little longer. New, stylish colors appear like ninclc, tight over the old, faded colors. Dia mond Dyes never spot, streak or ran.

Girl's "Little Home" Would Just Suit Him At a New York dinner, Mary Kellogg, the sociological authority, said: "Time was when a woman only worked when necessity demanded. Man was looked upon as the provider and only when he failed did the woman essay to fill Ms shoes. The vote, and other things, .have changed that and now the ma jority of women work from preference rather than necessity. "Hut is the pendulum swinging to the other extreme? Is man beginning to lay down his responsibility as the major provider? Ouly the other day as I walked Id Central park I heard a young lady coo, 'I'd love to have little home-of my own." .

"Let us work then, friends, with all our might towards this end, for, friends" nnd Mr. McMasters struck the table a smart blow "for we won't get universal peace unless we work our arms off."

"Lucile is the Happiest Girl' ( So many mothers nowadays talk about giving their children fruit Juices, as If this were a new discov ery. As a matter of fact, for over fifty years, mothers have been accomplishing results far surpassing anything you can secure from home prepared fruit Juices, by using pure, wholesome Cali fornia Fig Syrup, which Is prepared tinder the most exacting laboratory mpervlslon front ripe California Figs, richest of all fruits In laxative and nourishing properties. It's marvelous to see how bilious, weak, feverish, sallow, constipated, undernourished children respond to its gentle Influence; how their brenth clears up, color flames In their cheeks, nnd they become sturdy, playful, en. rgetlc again. A Western mother, Mrs. It. J. Stoll, Valley P. 0., Ne braska, says: ".My little daughter, Jioma Lucile, was constituted from babyhood, I became worried about her and decided to give her some California Fig Syrup. It stopped her constipation quick; and the way It Improved her color nnd made her pick lip tnude nm realize how run-down she had been. She is so Bttirdy and well now, nnd always In such good humor that neighbors say she's the happiest girl In the West." Like nil good things, California Fig Syrup Is Imitated, but you ran always get the genuine by looking for the name "Cullfornlu" ou the curton.

JA'l W.N ,u. service J Copyrioni by HuqK lVe.de lr CHAPTER VIII Continued 23 There came a flare of light through the loopholes that lit up her pule face vividly, and then a tremendous crash and the cabin seemed to rock uuder the vibrations. Afraid It was too good to be true, I stepped to the small win dow, set high under the eaves, and looked up to the heavens. I could have shouted aloud In joy as I beheld the mighty wall of black and slate towering almost to the sonlth with Its lead-colored draperler dragglug on the horizon. While we had talked and watched for danger the storm had swept down the river and wus upon us. The open lug grew dusky and It would huve been an easy task for the savages to have crawled close In the uncertain light Again the Thunder-god hurled spear at the water-serpent and the noise of the contest transcended all earth sounds. A strange moaning ran through the forest-crown and lofty tops bowed and swayed although as yet there was no air moving In the opening. "I'm thinking It's going to rain," remarked the girl In a faint voice. 'Thank God, yes! Stay back there to see they try no tricks," 1 cau tioned as she enme toward me. The lightning ripped across the face of the clouds, and the girl gave a lit tle squeal. I went to her to learo what was the matter. "Not Injuns," she whispered "I'm thinking I'm scared of these sort of tonus." ; . It seemed Impossible that one who .hud. shown such absolute control of nerves could be frightened by a flash of lightning and the rumble of tl.-jn der..,Aod yet she was clinging to me like a child, striving to conquer her self, yet keeping her face pressed agaltrs: my -"fringed sleeve, so as ooi to see the glare of the bolts. I en deavored to soothe away hH feat by telling her the storm was our best friend; that It would make the cabin fireproof, that It would compel the Indians to keep their guns covered and their bow-strings protected from the rain. But as I tajked I could feel ber Wince convulsively each lme the god renewed the ancient strife. Wltb a deafening roar the rain came battering against the cabin. It was Impossible to distinguish an ob ject fifty feet from the door. Now was the time for the enemy to attack and cut their nay Into us and finish ns with their belt weapons, liaising my voice about the terrific drumming of the rain, I told the girl; : "We'll go. The rain will wash out oar trail. Find something to wrap around the rifles." She found some oiled skins and we wrapped them about our rifles. I opened the door. The w nter was fulling In torrents and the wind was blowing wltb great velocity. Closing the door, we were plastered against the walls for a moment by the force of the wind I sought to shelter her by holding her close to my able; and leaning ngulnvt the stcrm, we made for the woods. We could not talk and we senrrely could see because of the rain filling our faces. We both realized that such a downpour could not lust long. Our progress was slow, but flnully I was waist-deep in some cherry busher. We fought through these and came to drip ping trees and entered among them. The uproar of the storm suddenly lessened now tbut we were walking on ancient forest mold and were shol tered from the wind. Itlvulets of wa ter ran under our feet arid there was no need to hide our trull until we were two miles In the woods. We were as wet as two river rats. It became strangely quiet In the drip ping woods and we no longer shouted to muke ourselves heard. How the s'.orii was raging outside we could ouly guess. I feured It was abating. "They'll lose some time, mister, In making sure we're not In the cuhln," the girl philosophically remarked. "And It's Kitting so dark they cnn'l find our tracks even If we do leave some." "We must find a place under a rock where we cm make a fire and you cun dry out." She laughed at me, and her voire was most musical becuuse It was naturul. - "llnrd work to drown a witch." she said.

I could find no dry fuol, even had I dured to build a lire. "We have water, but nt fir nor food," I told her. "You're wrong, mister, about food.

It was tough, but It was food, and we chewed II vigorously and felt the better for hav ing eaten It "Lean against me I commanded. "It'll be dreary waiting." "Not ro dreary as when we was la the cabin, waiting." she replied. And her head rested against my shoulder aud very soon I rejoiced to find she was asleep.

Footsteps would full softly on the wet ground, end. after listening without bearing anything, I told her; "Some animal got the scent of, us and turned tail." Her small hand gripped my arm ifor silence. Men were coming. I heard a voice say something In the Delaware tongue. She pulled ber Highland pis tol from her blouse and noiselessly re moved Its wrapping. Then her hand found mine and gave It a convulsive squeeze, and ber soft voice was say Ing: . ; "Mister, you've been powerful good to uie. We've made a good tight for It.

We could hour litem making their way along the windfall. Sudden ly they burst Into view; two Indians and a while man. One of the Indians ns currying a fresh sculp fastened to the end of short rod. I reached buck and snutched the pistol from the girl's hund and cried out ; "If that be Christopher Gist, we are friends." The three vanished as If by magic. After a few moments the white uiao replied; "I am Gist Who are you? Speak sharp. My Indiaus are nervous." "llliK'k Ilroud, returning from a scout to Duijucsne.

CHAPTER IX The Fatal Errand This meeting with Gist and his two Indium was niort pleasing to us, al though the Delawarea did not care enough for our company to slacken their pace. They ranged ahead while Cist traveled with us. He gave us much news. Ou July third the Indians had refused to go on a scout, but on the following day two had been In duced to accompuny til in. The three of them had advanced to within half a mile of the fort and had been d term) from approaching closer be cuuse of the excitement occasioned by the escape of the girl, the Onondaga und myself. They did not know what had happened, but with so much yell ing and bowling end running Into the woods the Delaware had taken fright and declared the entire red force was starting to attack the army. Two In dlnns had sighted Gist and had chased him for some distance. The Dels waive surprised and scalied the Frenchman the Dluwold girl had stumbled npon among the bramble bushes. - Cist said he and his companions had uttempted to follow Turtle creek to Its head,, where tbej had expected to find the army, but hud been turned buck by a large band of savages com- 'Ing dnwn the creek. They bad taken refuge lo a windfall and bad remained In hiding through the violent storm. This delay permitted the girl and me to get In advance of them. In scout ing to the nelghltorhood of the fort tbey had found the fords open and without any signs of an ambuscade being prepared. Nor bad they discov ered sny trace of the enemy's savages being outside the Immediate vicinity of the fort until the night of our e cape. When Girt set out from the army camp, Uruddock was about to march to Thlcketty run, a small branch of Senlckley creek. Time had been lost at Jacobs' creek In waiting fur Colonel Dunbar's provision train to come op. Many of SL Clair's rood builders were on the sick list, and quite a number of them had died. The wagon horses were In miserable condition. Colonel Washington was too III to travel and had not rejoined the army up to July fourth. . "Von have nothing but bad talk lo your bag," I remarked. "We have one French scalp," he grimly replied. "And since June twen ty fifth Uruddock has been puymg five fsiuuds apiece for sculps. Hut none of our scouts are getting rich on the bounties.' If we could only get ahead faster, and reach the fort before all our soldiers are dead, or too sick to fight, we'd win Just by showing our selves. Mr. William Shirley, the gen erals secretary, la very much dis gusted and discouraged at the way things are being managed. He rays he doubts otir success. It ut talk like that Is' all foolishness, of course. If we can. only bold nut till we reach Duquesne, we'll whip the French easy enough. --".V . (TO BB CONTINUED ) Made.
