A Smart Now Coat
The coat pictured here is an un-
usually smart design as well as
being practical and comfortable.
There is a seam at the center back,
a large convertible collar, wide
cuffs, and two set-in pockets with
laps. The tie of contrasting or
matching material is decidedly
chic, and buttons make an attrac-
tive trimming. Fur may be added
to the collar and cuffs, thereby add-
ing warmth for cooler days. No.

dollars a year through the raiding of

New Materials
Are Launched for
Fall and Winter
For autumn wear, spots and plaids
are expected to take the place of the
small neat prints. The spots are to
bo combiiled in all-over designs and
also to .assume diverse forme in the
way of wheels, cords, dots and blots.
From a Manchester house comes a.
print of a small figure in pastel color-
ing on a white broeho ground. An-
other is a geometric design of zigzag
stripes of yellow and two shades of
blue combined with squares of red.
and• black.
In voile, Ferguson Brothers of Car-
Iisle show a Pattern that decreases
in size from one selvage to the other
and is completed at one side with a
three-inch border.
The heavier materials presented for
next winter bld fair to be extremely
popular. From Lyons come now vel-
vets in geometrical designs, in a va-
riety of stripes, in florets, in plain
patterns with woven small chevrons
in double and two tones,
New Effects in Transparent Velvet
If transparent velvet gained such
marked popularity last winter, it
seems as though pig new ones pre-
sented byLyone should be even mote
so this year. For one thing, the
vogue for using velvets for negligees,
sports jackets and coats, and evening
wraps, has been set and people no
longer thiuk of velvet for frocks
alone. Then, too, there is a greater
variety in these faconno velvets in
regard to the weaves and the design.
One pattern, for example, 1s floral,.
with daisies in white rayon on a
red chiffon ground finely striped with
gold. Morals, by the way, are more
popular than the geometrical designs.
This is probably due to the fact that
the e, ftness of a flower design is bet-
ter suited to the delicate material;
or it may possibly be because of the
perfected process of printing the vel-
vet on the back. Thus rose designs
appear in new effects of subdued
shades.
Woolens Hold Their Own
Some materials like transparent
velvet and artificial silk combinations
are long in coming into favor, butonce
they have filled a need in a woman's
wardrobe, she clings to them with
a resolute fidelity despite the efforts
of fashion stylists and dressmakers
to the contrary. For example, the in-
evitable felt hat remains a favorite
in the United States.
Woolens, it seems, have become an
integral part of a woman's wardrobe.
Wherever women gather, at races and
sports, the out-of-door costumes are of
plain woolens and include broadcloth,
tweeds and basket weavers.
The woolens favored for daytime
sports costumes are vervety or very,
very soft. The extremely soft grades
are made of angora, a revival of a
fabric in use two seasons ago. The
majority of the woolens are loosely
woven with open squares, although
some are closely woven in a canvas
effect and others seem to form a
small fancy sort of armure.
The colors of these woolens are
dull neutral shades of brown 'Mega
and bine,:although they are presented
in pastel coloring for summer wear.
Illustrations of velvety .woolens
show them with ground woven in a
small crow's foot scarcely discernible
because of the pile surface; in an bing-
liah mixture crossbanded in honey-
comb effect; and in an amiire in a
mosaic of pastel shades.
Next in importance are tweeds,
Some dressmakers, Worth, for exam-
ple, place them as the very basis of
their sports clothes. Tweeds are
loosely woven in black and white mix-
turesii or, like men's mixtures, pre-
sent a kind of design 1n the weave.
A striped tweed in brown and biege
has a border of darker tones. Chev-
rons and herringbone are in evidence
and one design offered by a leading
manufacturer shows an English mix-
ture woven with a modern design.
There is no end to the variety of
patterns and designs in both tweeds
and woolens, it seems, In some in-
etances woolens become like pattern-
ed silks and have designs of bine or
red dots on a binge ground, or have
a novel appearance because the de -

BEGIN HERD TODAY,.
,Tnhn Ainsley a man of education
and breeding, becomes a maeter crook
.•--preying upon other thieves. In ar-
ranging Meth a "fence" to dispose of
4. box of jewels which he stole from
the White Eagle, a crook, Ainsley was
overheard by Swede Thomassen, a
brutal murderer in hiding.
Thomassen comes to Ainsley's
apartment, covers him with a revolver,
and domande half of the loot. He ord.,
els Ainsley to go and get the jewels
from the safe-deposit box downtown.
Then he drops down on a bed in Ains-
ley's apartment and .goes to sleep, con-
fident that Ainsleywill not cross him.
Ainsley is fearful of exposing hire to
the police because then lie himself
would become involved in the answer-
ing of many unpleasant questions.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY,
With a groan I dismissed my plan.
I could not give up my liberty. The
shame of exposure Was ;more than I
could endure. Yet to permit Thomas -
sen to escape, to aid him in his escape,
was to endure a private shame as
hideous as any public exposure. I was
caught between the devil and the deep
sea.
And then inspiration came to me,
as it just comes to anyone caught be-
tween the devil and the deep sea, un-
less he would perish.
My guest would not awaken. So I
went to my own chamber—he was in
the room next the living -room --and'
from my bed I took a sheet. Of it, and
two pillows and several books to give
the thing weight, I made a clumsy effi-
gy of a man. I wrapped a dark over-
coat around the figure, buttoned it, tied
string about it to keep -it in place, and
went quietly to the window. I raised
it and looked out.
The window opened on a vacant
area in the rear of the building. Below
its sill, a good four feet below it, was
a ledge perhaps two feet wide. I lift-
ed my effigy through the window, low-
ered it and placed it carefully upon
the ledge. It was quite heavy; I had
placed several books inside it.
It would not balance truly upon the
ledge, bit fastening it with a string
to the handle on the inside of the win-
dow whereby it was raised, the bundle
or effigy would stay in place. And
when I closed the window the dark
twine was not noticeable inside the
room. I drew the curtain to make
sure that the twine would not be ob-
served by Thomassen.
Of course dwellers in the distant
buildings 'might see my bundle when
light carne in the morning. But New
Yorkers are incurious about their
neighbors. Strange things can occur
without arousing questions. And any-
way, this was a chaneo I had to take.
And having taken it, I went to bed.
0 s e ■
Thomassen awakened me in the
morning. He was ravenously hungry,
and I was forced to prepare him a
breakfast. I marveled at•his nerve as
he ate. I ani fairly composed myself,
but I only ate in order that his sus-
picions might not be aroused. For I
must seem to him reconciled to his
presence and his purpose. The man
was like a wild beast. If he became
seepicious he would kill.
But he thought that he understood
me. I was philosophic enough to make
the best of a bad situation, he reason-
ed. He let me leave the apartment, to
fetch the jewels from the safe-deposit
box, with hardly a reminding threat
to force me not to play him false.
Cautioning him to keep away from
the windows, and to answer no rings
at the doorbell or telephone, I left him,
"You're more scared than I am,"
were his last words to me. "And I'm
facing the chair, while you've got no-
thing to be afraid of but Sing Sing."
d * * M *
I confess that I shuddered as he
mentioned the name of the grim psi -
son up the Hudson. I feared death less
than I did capture by the police. In-
deed I was going to prove the truth of
what I have just said. For I was
going to risk death.
I had procured a week before, the
number of the telephone installed in
the furnished house which, under the
imposing alias of the ,Due de Mon-
teelier, the White Eagle ha'h rented
early in the winter. Trembling with
excitement, from a telephone -booth in
a drugstore on Amsterdam Avenue, '1
called up this number.
The chances were a hundred to one
that the White Eagle no longer resid-
ed here. His servants had been let go,
and his bags had been packed, in pre-
paration for hurried flight .on the
night that ho had robbed Anderson.
But the fact that I had relieved him
of his booty might have changed his
plans. The White Eagle was daring,
He knew that it was unlikely that An-
derson suspected his lose. And when
the miiloineire sailed for South Am-
erica, it was obvious that the theft had
not been discovered, There was no
reason, then, why Armand Cachet
should not continue living in the house,
Off the Avenue. A less bold thief
would be certain to flee, but the White
Eagle was one in a million, I payed
that he would answer the telephone,
Ile did so. 8 recognized the inert -
acing tones, And I Wasted no time in

A lesser man would have given way
to. excitement, but the White Eagle's.
nerves were of steel. I could hear a
faint gasp, swiftly suppressed, but
that was all. •
"I am all enemy of the man who
robbed' you," I declared. It was the
truth; every man is his own }worst
enemy. ."I know where he is to be to-
night. Ile and his partner will be
dividing the Anderson jewels at nine
o'clocir. They will be in a bedroom in
an'apartment on Central Park West."
His iron will could repress his ex-
citement no longer,
"The address l The man's name?"
he cried.
I laughed softly. "Patience, my
friend. Suppose I gave you that ad-
dress now? Could you restrain your
desire for revenge until tonight? ` Al-
though I am proving my friendship
by this information, you would not
trust me, Nor -my friend, you will"
receive the information at eight-
thirty. A°meseenger will come to you,
bearing an envelope which will con-
tain the information youwilsh, and a'
key to the apartment, in order that
you may enter quietly."
"A trapl" said Coehet.
I laughed more loudly. "To what
end? If I spoke for' the police --but
I could read, the murderer's brain.
that is absurd. If the police knew of
You they would be at you youe door."
"Who are you?" he demanded.
But I.hong up without answering.
I thought I knew my man. Revenge
and greed would cause him to come
to my apartment. So I went to a mes-
senger;, office. Then I wrote a note to:
the Due de Montariier. I described my
apartment, and told him the exact
situation of my bedroom. I put an
extra :key to the apartment in the
envelope as I had promised, and gave
it to the manager of the office with
strict instructions not to deliver it
until eight -thirty. ills satisfaction
with the generous tip I gave him con-
vinced me that he would obey my in-
structions implicitly.. If he didn't—
well that was a clianee I must take.
Then I went to the safe-deposit
vault and removed, the brown paper
parcel which contained the casket of
jewels that had belonged to Marcus.
Anderson. I returned to my apart-
ment—and then began the hardest
part of my task.
This was to keep Thomassen in my
rooms until after dark. For the plan
which I had conceived needed dark-
ness in its execution.
Naturally, ' my unwelcome guest
was in a fever of impatience to de-
part, once he had glimpsed the An-
derson treasures. But 8 played upon
his fears. The police,,I told him, were
scouring the city. Every station, every
ferry, every road and bridge were
guarded. He would have no chance
whatsoever of passim the cordon in
daylight. Indeed for him to appear
upon any street, however secluded,
was dangerous, I convinced; him, at
length.
It was the most trying day of my
life. I could read the thoughts in the
murderer's brain. We had divided the
jewels and he had been a shade too
equitable in the division. I knew that
he was thinking, all the time, that he
might as well have then all. I only
hoped that he would delay translating
thought into deed until the White
Eagle should arrive.
