“THAT’S MY SON!”
SYNOPSIS.—To the Kentucky
wilderness outpost eommaluled by
Jerome Funders, In the time Immedi
ately preceding the Uev.elutlon,
comes a white boy fleeing: from a
tribe of Shuwhees by whom he had
been captured and adopted as a son
of the chief, .Kahtoo, He is given
shelter and attracts the favorable
attention of Dave Yandell, a leader
^.mong the/settlers. The youngster

He speaks only bastard French and

white skin and proudly taps his
breast. “Paleface—white man!”

sharply. '
"Never mind now,” Raid old Joel
Roothlrigly, “yon must' keep sllll!”
The hoy’s eyes hud begun to shift un
der the scrutiny and, he started away.
“Come back here!” commanded the
wounded man, and still searching the
lad he said sharply again:/
“Who Is that boy?” Nor would ^te

There was hut one seat of learning—
at Williamsburg. What culture* they
had they brouglit from England or
got from parents or minister. And al
ways they lin'd seemed to prefer sword
and stump to the pen. They hated
towns. At every wharf a long shaky
trestle ran from a warehouse out Into
the river to load ships with tobacco
for England and to get In return all
conveniences and luxuries, and that
was enough. In towns men Jostled
and Individual freedom was lost, so,
old Joel briefly told' the story, when he

Old Jerome rind Dave and the older
jnen gathered In one corner of the
-Stockade for a council of war. The
boy had made It plain that the attack--
ing party was at least two days lie-
hind the three Indians from whom he
had escaped, so that there was no
dungor that day, and they could watt
until night to send messengers to wfirn
the settlers outside to seek safety
within the fort. Meanwhile, Jerome
would dispatch five men with Dave to
scout for the three Indians, who might
he near hy in the woods, and the hoy,
who saw tliem slip out the rear gate
•of the fort, at once knew their pur
pose, shook his head, and waved his
hand to say that his late friends were

whites themselves knew tbelr danger,

Darkness fell;■ in each tower a
watcher kept ills eyes strained toward
the black silent woods. The dying
man was laid oh a rude bed within
one cabin, and old Joel lay on the
floor of it clijse to' the door. The
stranger lad refused‘To sleep indoors
and huddled himself In a blanket on
the ground in one corner of the stock
ade. Men. women and children fell
to a deep and weary sleep. An hour
later the boy In the corner threw
astfde his blanket, and when, a mo
ment later, Lydia Noe. feverish and
thirsty, rose from her bed to get a
drink of water outside her door, she
stopped short on the threshold. The
lad, stark naked hut for his breech-
clout and swinging hi* bloody scalp
over Ids head, was stamping around
the fire—dancing the senlp-dunce of
the savage to a low, fierce, guttural
song. The l>ny saw her, saw her face
In the blaze, stricken! white with

at her a moment with savage rage,
and went on again. Old Jnel'a ImsIt

~Tf Is the little things that count,
observes a fashion writer. This well- j
worn bromldlc saying Is more of a
truism when applied to dress flvtin ;
anything else. It Is the little mistakes
In dress that spoil the/Otherwise per
fect costume. One may be ever so
careful in the choice of a gown, pay
ing any amount of nifney for It, but
ruin Its effect by the choice of a pair
of shoes, stockings, gloves or any
other of the small essentials that go
to make up the correct toilet.
Shoes are especially confusing at
this time when so much Is offered in
the way of variety. It Is easy for the
novel and tbe bizarre to usurp the
place of good taste.
The feet should be beautifully shod,
but not In a way to attract undue at
tention to them. Nor should one wear
shoes that In any way detract from
the costume with which they are worn.
The woman who cannot afford a com
plete shoe wardrobe such as Is neces
sary In following shoe fashions today
would do well to adhere to black or
the neutral tuige and gray tones.
Black has an advantage over the
■and and gray shades, either singly
or used In combinations, In that It can
be wnm with any c<i«tume and with
any of the hundred* of brown, beaver,
beige or amber tonea. as well os with
the ever-p«»pul*r grays. Then again
variety may he obtained by wearing
•forking* of one of the numerous
■hade* of gray or l rown.
Color* or style* In dream** and snlta
have hud practically no effect on foot

The uneven hem line and panels that
Bwlng free from the garment, two pop
ular style features, appear In a
tailored street frock. This dresfi Is so
simple that It might he made by any
hojne dressmaker, .ns the foundation
Is merely a straight line, chemise
dress. Four swinging panels are set
on to the dress, one in the center
back, one In front and one on each
side. The back panel is a trifle wider
than those at front and sides.
The dress was shbwq in a navy silk
Crepe, the panels faced with spark red
georgette and trlmrri&T with hands of
enjhroidery In red, gold and gretin done
on navy. The girdle was merely a
band of the embroidery finished with
gold thread tassles. The dress Is a
slip-over nnd unllned. The flared
sleeves have the red failing, and bands
of embroidery finish them.
The uneven hem' line Is affected In
many ways. Longer panels are very
frequently seen, but a skirt is often
cut frankly longer at one side than at
Vivid Green.

A charming frock of Milk crepe In a

on the straight lines so generally ac
cepted and approved, hut with on*
side long enough to almost tip th®
ground, while the other was eight or
nine inches from the ground. A
nt self-fahrle tied at the long side
and with swinging ends accentuated
the effect. Collar and cuffs of brown
organdie nnd lace finished the frock
and constituted the only trimming.
Freshening Touch.
Crisp little frills of white are being
used on summer gowns of dark shades.
Tight and tiqy frills are seen at the
neck and around the edges of the
sleeves. Now and then a* long frill
rims the sleeves, a reminiscence of
the Queen Anne days of dignified
dress. Some of th« summer frocks
even have little muslin aprons, which
introduce a flueor and pretty note.
The aprons are edged with the nar
rowest of frills and have the merest
touch of eiribroldery at the corners.
In several Instances the aprons are
real aprons, attached to the gown
only at the waist.
