GENILE ADA FERRIS
John Folsom's Mascot Saved
Him Just in the Nick
of Time.
When Folsom was tent to the Philip-
pines he told Mitt Ferris that be
would have something very -important
to writo to her a soon as he had es-
tabllshed himself. It was something
which ho could not say to her then be-
cause Ada Ferns was rich and Folsom
had his way to make In the world. Dut
when he looked Into her eyes he knew
that she would wait that she was the
Kind that would wait years perhaps
for ever.
It was lonely In Manila In spite of
men friends who took one out to din-
ner and whom one entertained at one's
bachelor quarters. In fact John Fol-
som had only one real friend Minnie
his little monkey who had been cap-
tured a tiny baby. In the forests of
Mindanao. She was the tiniest and
most affectionate creature that he had
ever seen. One day he found her
perched gravely In front of Ada Fer-
ris' photograph examining It evident-
ly with approval for sho made a little
chattering nolso that signified happi-
ness. "Some day Minnie." said Folsom as
sho snuggled Into his coat "some day
we three will be In a world of perfect
happiness."
Then he sighed fo- he had not writ-
ten to Ada Ferris so regularly as he
hud been used to do Perhaps i: was
becanso his promotion came slowly
It could not have been because of Lll-
lth Alntree. Judge Aintree's daughter
who was the belle of the American col-
ony and .who distinctly liked Folsora
There could not have been a greater
contrast than between Lllith and Ada;
the one proud mirth-loving self-
willed; the other gentle sweet and af-
fectionate. In his heart Folsom knew
that his new flame could not compare
with the girl whom he had left behind
him In Hoston. Dut Ada Ferris as
far away and Lllith was neJr ard in
his loneliness he found It Impostlble
to resist her. overpowering attraction
her personality vibrant with jouth
and his ho knew as soon as he should
ay the word that would make her his.
Minnie did not liko Lllith Alntree.
There had never been any love lost be-
Held It Toward Him.
tween them The very first time that
Ullth and her mother called nt his
bachelor qunrters I think he was giv-
ing a tea that day tho little cro.ituro
ran screaming from her and climbing
tho curtain pole sat at that safe ele-
vation and mowed and grinned at her.
"Minnie doesn't bectn to like me"
said Lllith one day. "Don't you think
jou ought to get rid of her John?"
(Thoy called each other by their first
names now ) "I mean "
Sho paused In well calculated con-
fusion. John knew what she meant.
They had betn strolling nlang the wa-
ter front together and he had never
felt her Influence so strongly as that
day. Hut at the words a sudden chill
fell upon him and before his eyes
there rwe the gentle image of Ada
Ferris waiting
Her letter never altered in tone ex-
cept that they had become a little
more reserved a little more distant
in response to the unconscious change
In his. And ever he halted between
hU two lov. now resolutely faithful
to Ada ani itow overpowered by the
exotic allurement of Judge Aintree's
daughter
The old life seemed very far nway
nor. The new life was pleasant and
alluring. He bad been taken up by
the colony everybody believed that
he and Lllith were engaged. He must
make bis decUton.
The day of his decision came It
was a perfect Afternoon In the season
of rains. John Folsom his little com-
panion perched on hli shoulder was
seated In a swinging chair in Judge
Aintree's garden. He bad brought
' Minnie with him because she whim-
pered so when be left her and because
rail
ho felt somehow that she w a tl
isman to him. Dop In his heart he
knew that Lllith would never trtns
him haprJnc but her presence drive
rrason from hit brala and deadened
his heart against all memorlo of the.
girl back east- Ullth was seated In
the hammock under the tree and all
the other guests had discreetly with-
drawn to a distance.
She had meant to capture him that
day and never had she looked more
'captivating She was dressed all In
white her little feet. In their neatly
fitting shoe swung to and fro with
the motion of the hammock. Over her
heed she carried a white parasol. John
Folsom looked at her and the spoil
was on him. He came to her side.
"Lllith."" ho-began hoarsely taking
her hand "I-I - He choked he
could not continue On his shoulder
one arm about his neck. Minnie was
muttering and scolding She meant
to warn him but John was past warn-
ing now.
Just then he heard the judge calling
him 'Folsom come here!" he jelled
"Come and get wae Iced lemonade
for Lllith and yourself" He hurried
away glad of the resptte. glad to com
rose himself. He must be articulate
he must be clear-headed for he had t
tell Lllith about Ada.
And yet he knew she would not
' care. She would have no scru .!
about usurping the others place
j To his surprise the monkey left his
shoulder and sprang to the lowest
branch of the tree under which the
hummock hung. Folsom hurried away
and presently coming back with the
lemonade saw something which as-
t tounded him.
Lllith. in an access of fury had
reacht-d up and grasjed the monkey
and now. holding her fast by the throat
with one hand was thrashing her with
' the other. Tho little animal was nenr-
I ly choked she could not scream but
i with both hands oer her head strove
; vainly to ward off that shower of stun-
I nlng blows. Then Folsom came up
( no Ullth flung the creature from her
Minnie crpt sobbing into John's
arms. He turned ar.d faced th girl
who disheveled and tl'jshed with pas
flon. stood gazing at faint uneasily.
! "1 thrashed the little beast" she
said
j "What did the do to jou?" asked
John quietly.
I ' She 6at on tho treo and made faces
I at me" Lllith answered petiilnntly
"And I tell jou. John unless ou get
rid of the beast you must "
' She had meant to say "get rid of
me. but something In John s face
checked her.
"I'm sorry If I hurt her John" she
said. "Hut tho little wretch hates mo
and I can't bear to bo bated. I want
' to bo loved John" she added lilting
her face toward his.
A sudden loathing for her came with
his new understanding.
"Lllith" he said "a woman who
would bent n helpless dumb brute
would beat a child."
"What do you mean 1" sho cried.
Hut he said no more. Holdinij the
monkey tightly to him he walked
nwny And Lllith knew. She knew
( that the mother instinct wh'ch alone

LONG OR SHORT COAT
BOTH HAVE SANCTION OF FASH-
ION THIS SEASON.
In Chiffon or Laee They Are Particu-
larly Becoming Rich Breeadea

Then Is no end to tho short coats
and wraps and each is more chic than

custom yourself to thilr abbreviation
Whether they are so generally becom-
leg as the longer coats and cloaks Is a
question of taste. Certainly they con-
! sort better with the short skirt of the
trotting frock.
Long coats and cloaks for carriage
and evening wear are lovelier than
ever before and the triumph of tho
season Is tho filmy coat of chiffon or
lace usually without lining other than
another tone of chiffon
I One of the loveliest cloaks Is of em-
broidered chiffon Tho long lines of
I drapery aro exceedingly artistic and
. the fullness at the top of tho coat
j at the back Is held In placo by a
square snapca tab or exquisite em-
broidery Another cloak -ts of brocaded crepo

turndown frill of moussellno do nolo.
The cloak Is shirred on a cord at tho
shoulders and the sleeves and bottom
of the ccat are also shirred on a cord

ed coat of gray charmeuso trimmed
with small rose colored silk buttons
and cord loops it lb finished with u
narrow turndown collar of tho roso

frill of rose colored chiffon.
One exceedingly attrnctlvo model
seen recently was of lace chllToii and
silk. At tho front tho upper part was
draped In rever shape with a chiffon
scarf which was knotted In n largo
knot and ends which fell to tho bot-
tom of the cloak. The fronts woro of
