9ic Easiest Way

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.
They are real dyes, like those used
when the cloth was made. Insist on
them and save disappointment

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." .

Secretary .Irving F. McMasters. of

lenene banquet In Spokane:
"We advocate, of course, total world
disarmament, for that alne can give

"Let us work then, friends, with

the table a smart blow "for we won't

CHAPTER VIII Continued

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

said. "I've furcd hard before this and

"We have water, but nt fir nor

"You're wrong, mister, about food.
I fetched this along," she answered;
and her bands found - mine wlUf a
small package wrapped In deerskin.
It was some 'of Frailer'1 smoked

"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.
When she was entirely oblivious to
our discomforts, I shifted her" Into

Her small hand gripped my arm ifor

voice say something In the Delaware
tongue. She pulled ber Highland pis

dared not give uny encouragement to

face showed nuue of llio anger I had
witnessed at the Witches' Head when
she was menaced by the mob. It was
plucld of expression, and rhe niet my
gaze with a little smile of cncnuriigit

and a while man. One of the Indians

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."

to Duijucsne. I have a young friend

but there Is a large baud of routine's
tnen chasing us."
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
