Some effective Hair Accettorles.

Gowns Are Now Made Short.
Tbe "trotter frock" Is all tbe rage
in Ibis country Just at present and
een tbe most expensive gowns are
4e with short nkirts. Cloth is the
leading fabric yet velvets too. look
quite as well tvRh the ankle-high skirt.
Many of these gowns are trlmmod
elaborately with lace and braid and
they may bo used for j afternoon
entertainment. It seems that women
are banning to realize the advan-
tages of a short skirt and It may not
bo mnny months before the trailing
evening gowns of to-day will give way
to "trotter" effects. For dancing noth-
ing can surpass tho short skirt so far
as comfort Is concerned.
Poetry of Dress.
The secret of the American girl's
style is her Individuality of taste.
Sho knows what bIid likes and she
dares to express this liking In what
she dooa and what she wears.
Her fads and frills are her personal
fancies. When cxpsscd they become
tho pootry of dross says the Woman's
Home Companion.
And thoro Is nothing exclusive
nbout this poitry; It is a living spring
from which ovoryone may drink. Not

nate; but It should be possible for all
to select and adapt '

I made Almtteln dig two grave. I

laid my father's doa over over
his face."
It was useless trying to go on; a
deep sob shut oT ber voice and threat-
ened to rend her when she tried to
bold It back. Sister Wynfreda strove
with geitle arms to draw her down
upon her breast.
'"gaffer the tears to come my daugh-
ter" she urged her tenderly "or
sooner or later they must."
"Ttey shall not!" Randalln crW
brokenly. "They shall not! Am I a
ak-mlnded English woman that I
should shed tears because my kindred
aro murdered? I will shed blood to
avenge them; that is befitting a
Danish girl. 1 will not weep as
though there were shame to wash
out! I will not weep."
The older woman shrank a little. To
ears attuned to tbe silence of tho
grave such an outburst was little less
than terrifying; she was at a loss
"Do you know who I am?"
bow to soothe tho girl. To gain a
respite she stole away and renewed
the wounded man's bandages.
After a moment Randalln rose and
followed buckling her cloak as sbe
went.
"Since I am become this man's lord
I think It Is right for mo to see how
ho fares before I leave him" she ex-
plained. Before you leave him?" The form
in the faded robos turned Inquiringly
toward tho erect young figure In Its
bravo scarlet cloak. "What Is It you
say. ray child?"
Hut Randalln was bending low over
tho green couch. "Do you know who
I am?" sho was asking urgently of the
woodward. "Fix your eyes on rac and
try to gather together your wits."
Slowly the man's wandering gaze
focused Itself; a silly laugh welled
up In his throat.
"It would be no strange wonder If
I did not" ho chuckled. "Odin has
changed you greatly; your face was
never so beautiful. Hut this once you
cannot trick me Frldtjof Frodesson."
There came a time when this mis-
take was a source of some comfort to
Randalln Frode's daughter; but non-
she stirred Impatiently.
Sister Wynfroi'.a'a hand fell upon
tho girl's arm. "Disquiet yoursolf no
furthor" she whispered. "It Is use-
loss and to no end. Come this way
whore be cannot hear our voices and
toll me what moves you to speak of
leaving. Is it not your intention to
oredp in with us?"
As she yielded roluctanllv to tho
proMJuro Randalln even showed sur-
prlso at the question. "By no means.
My orrand hither was only to ask for
broad. I go dlreot to tho Danish
camp to go Justice from King Ca-
nute." Tho nun reached out nnd caught the
gay cloak gasping. "Tho Danish
oamp? Better you thrust yoursolf
Into a den of ravenous beasts. You
know not what jou Bay."
Offense stiffened tho figure undor
tho cloak. "It Is you who do not
know. Now as always you think
nbout Canute what lying English
mouths havo told of him. I know him
from my father's lips. No man on tho
Island Is to truo as he or so generous
to thoso who ask of him. Ho is tho
hlghost-mlnded man In tho world."
'My daughter my daughtor shake
off this sleep of your wits I entreat
you! The mon you aro trusting In
aro dreams which you havo dreamed
In tho safety of your father's arms.
Thoy among whom you aro going are
barbarians yea devils! It wero

you not thrast the iron In bis face?
Bat Sister Wynfreda's expression
changed so strangely that the girl
foresaw an attack along another line.
and hastened to forestall it- "It is not
worth while to ten me farther aboat
the matter. Do you not see that It is
by no means the same? I shall be a
Danish woman among Danish raea.
I shall not be a captive to be made a
drudge of and beaten. I shall be with
my owr people my own king. Lt
us end this talk. Give me the bread
and let me go. The sn is getting
high."
She glanced 4t it as she spore and
found i' mcch higher than the
realized lat her haste Increased.
Clutching at her belt her arm. her
cloak tk nun strove desperately to
detain her. "Rsndali! Listen! Alas!
how you grieve me by talking after
this manner! Wait you do not un-
derstand. It is not their cruelty I
fear for you. Child listen! It Is not
their blows"
But Randalln had wrenched herself
free. "Oh. fear fear fear!" she cried
impatiently. "Fear your enemies;
faar your friends; fear your shadow!
Old women are afraid of everything!
No. no do not look at me like that; I
do not mean to behave badly toward
you but it will become a great mis-
fortune to me if I am hindered; it
will la truth. See now; I 111 kiss
you here where your cheek is soft-
est. I cannot allow you to take hold
of my cloak again. There! Now lay
your hands upon my head as you do
with the children when you wish them
good luck."
Because there was nothing else to
do and because the thought of doing
she was asking urgently.
this gave her some comfort. Sister
Wynfreda complied.
"God guard you my fledgeling" she
whispered over and over. "My pray-
ers be as a wall around you. My lovo
go with you as a warm hand In your
Ionellnesr. God keep you In safety
my most beloved daughter!"
CHAPTER II.
Where War-Dons Kennel.
This morning thero were but few-
travelers upon the Watllng street.
South of the highway tho land was
held by English farmers who would
naturally remain under cover while
a Danish host was In the neighbor-
hood; while north ot the great divid-
ing line lay Danish freeholds whoso
masters might be equally likely to see
the prudence of being in their watch-
towers when tho English allies wore
passing. Barred across by tho shad-
ows of Its mighty trees the great road
stretched away mile after mile In cool
emptiness. At rare Intervals a mount-
ed mosbenger clattered over the
stones his hand upon his weapon his
eyes rolling sharply In a keen watch
of the thicket on either side. Still
more rarely foraging parties swept
through tho morning stillness lowing
cows pricked to a sharp trot before
thom and squawking fowls slung over
their broad shoulders.
On they came. When they caught
sight of a sprig of a boy drawn up be-
side the way with his hand resting
sternly on his knife they sent up a
shout of boisterous morrlment. Tho
blood roared so loudly In Randalln's
oars that she could not understand
what they said. Sho Jerked her horse's
head toward the trees and drove her
spur deep Into his sldo. Only as ho
leaped forward and thpy swept past
her shouting did tho words reach
homo.
"Look at tho warrior comradoa!"
"Hall norsorkor!" "Scamper cub or
your nurso will catch you!" "Tie
some of your hair on your chin little
one!"
As tho sound of hoof-beats died
away and the nag settled back to his
Steady jogtrot the girl unclenchod
hor hands and drew a long breath.
"Though It seems a strango wonder
tbat they should not know mo for a
woman I think I need glvo myself no
further uneasiness. It must bo that
I am ery like Frldtjof In looks. It
may ho that it would not bo unadvls-
ablo now for mo to ask advlco qf tho
no;a person how I can como to tho
camp."
Tho asking had become at matter
of necessity by tho tlmo sho found
any ono capable of answering the
question. Threo foreign merchants
whom sho 'overtook near noon could
glvo her no Information and sho cov-
ered tho next five mile without see-
ing a living creature then it was only
a beggar who crawled out of the
bushes to offer to sell tho child be-
side him for a crust of bread. The
petition hrought hack to Randalln her

Before ber teagae could move. Ran-

ingly. "You will be able to tll hs tidlacs

moraine we have beea allowed to do
bo more than growl at the. English
dogs across the plain because It was
held anadvLsable to make an onset
until the Jarl's men should increase
our strength It is to be hoped that
they are not far behind?"
"You make a mistake" Randalln be-
gan hesitatingly. "My news does not
concern the doings of Edric Jarl. but
the actions of his man Norman"
A blow across ber lips silenced her.
"Hold your tongue until you come
In to the Chief." the man admonished
her with good-humored severity.
"Have you not learned that babblint
turns to 111. you sprouting twig? And
waste no more time upon the road
either. Yonder Is your shortest way

When you come to a burned barn do

thatjin old beech stock stands where
you come out. Take then the path
that winds up-hill and It will bring
you to the war booths before you can
open your roollsh mouth thrice. Trolls!
what a cub to send a message by!
But get along now; you will suffer
from their temper if they think it
likely tbat you have kept them wait-
ing." He gave the horse a stinging
slap upon the flank that sent him for-
ward like a shaft from a bow.
(To be continued.)
GOT EVEN ON CONSTABLE.
Mississippi .lustlce Bound to Have His
Dignity Sustained.
"This attack on Gen. Brlstow for
the disclosures In the special postal
report reminds me of a justice of the
peaco of Mississippi who was hear-
ing a case tried by a lawyer named
George Smith and another named
Brown" said Congressman John Sharp
Williams. "The Justice had been
looking on tho corn liquor when it
was white and he was In a sad state.
Smith had the witness. -
" 'What Is your name?' demanded
Smith.
"'1 object' said Brown. 'It doesn't
make any difference what his name
Is.'
" 'Objection shustalned' solemnly
muttered the court.
" 'Where do you live?' aBked Smith.
"I object!' shouted Brown. 'It Is
immaterial where he lives.'
"'Shustalned' said the Justice.
Sm't!i blazed up calling the justice a
'diunhen old fool' and adding several
other compliments. By degrees tho
justice comprehended tho force nnd
drift of the remarks and then it was
his time to get mad.
"'Where's Fryo?' he demanded.
