24 “No, neither was killed, and they don’t know their names; but this paper says that Colonel Bob Hinckley is carrying his arm in a sling this morning, and it’s my opinion that they suspect him, Marion.” There was no reply, for the young girl had fled. She was on her way to the parlor to see the genuine Colonel Appleby. It was evident that the colonel had taken more than a passing interest in Marion, al- though he had called, as he expressed it, “‘to bid her and her friends good-by,” and “‘to allay any apprehensions she might feel con- cerning the duel, in view of the fact that the papers had printed some of the details.” When she returned to her room, her friends demanded to know what Colonel Appleby had called to see her about, but she decided to say nothing at present about the duel their two friends had fought. “What is it, Marion?” asked Miss Allyn, the minute they were alone. Marion’s face grew sober, almost sad, as she replied: “The colonel tells me that Miss Mac- Gregor has. promised to marry Colonel Hinckley,” she said, quietly; ‘so. his ruse to make her jealous was perfectly successful.” “Well, she is welcome to him,” was Miss Allyn’s comment, but Marion sighed softly. She was sorry for the girl who was to marry such a trickster. | That afternoon the special car bore them away from Washington. She had only been in that city two days, but they had been filled with excitement, for she had done what no woman had ever done before—reigned queen of the Inauguration Ball and saved the life of the President. It was weeks before she told even Alma about the duel, but by that time. the vague rumors had died out completely, and there was very little danger of their ever be- ing revived, especially as Colonel Bob Hinck- ley and his wife had departed from the cap- ital. The man who intended to shoot the Presi- dent was traced a few days later. He had done as Miss Allyn suggested—slipped quiet- ly from the city. Further than that, no one ever knew of his whereabouts or destiny. THE END.

Brown cloth gowns trimmed with heavy black silk braid are considered very smart, Dainty waists of India mull in pale tints are worn with the tailor-made skirts and coats. They are finely tucked and finished with a lace yoke, belt and cuffs. Veloutine makes very stylish street gowns trimmed with fur, and in the pate colors dotted with black it is very much used for waists, The very little amount of velvet it requires to make any of the pretty bolero, Figaro or Eton jackets places them within the means of the most modest purse; and to richly complete a new simply made gown, or to modernize one of other geasons at a little outlay, there 18 nothing just like them for certain Wefofq7) coool KS, n4)
